Chapter 52: The Hungry Beetle

On the Temple of Heaven, Ao Liao lay in a rocking chair and pondered the philosophy of life.

"Sure enough, hunger can overcome fear. That's why foodies can be fearless. ”

Ao Liao came up with a new theory of life.

On the other side, Murphy and the others are giving ideological education lessons to the big beetle.

"Wowhaha! You're dead. I don't know why the mayor added you to the town, though. But you're asking such a childish question to the mayor of town. The mayor must be angry! Eat one's fill? I'll tell you that I haven't felt hunger since I came to town. Murphy exclaimed to the big beetle.

"Really?" The big beetle looked at Murphy with a glint of hope in his eyes.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Edward chimed in. "He's just a skeleton with a hairy hunger."

"! Who says skeletons can't be hungry? I'm hungry right now and want to eat spicy crayfish. ”

"Come on! You're going to bite me! I'll tell you, I haven't eaten meat in a long time. I don't mind nibbling on some bones first. ”

"Ahh Murphy rushed out with an arrow and hugged Edward's shrimp head - [Skeleton Hugging Shrimp Killing].

"Ahh

"You're dead! Give me down! Edward waved his pliers, trying to pull Murphy off his head.

"I'm going to die when I come down, are you stupid for me? Ahh

"You... You... You! You wait, I'm going to shove you into the barrel and fire a hundred, a hundred. ”

The two of them were so focused on fighting each other that they completely forgot about the big beetle on the side.

"Sure enough, you still can't get enough?" The big beetle heard Edward's words, "He's just a skeleton, and he's hungry." The light in his eyes had dimmed.

Just as he was disappointed, a voice that seemed like an angel to it reached its ears.

"If you can eat vegetarian food, I have a lot of 'elf fruits' here, as long as you don't dislike it, you can eat it to your heart's content."

The big beetle looked up and saw that it was the same spirit that had unleashed the binding magic on it earlier. The elf carried a bag in his hand and reached for it. The inside is bulging, and it should be the "elf fruit" he called in his mouth.

The beetle was a little reserved, but the instinct of hunger drove it to take the pocket.

The pocket was opened, and it was filled with fist-sized fruits. It eats the next one casually, only to feel that it is full of raw and juicy meat. It buries its head in the bag and devours it, and the juice flies. After a while, a bag of elf fruits was eaten by a large beetle.

"Thank you!" The big beetle was so hungry that it was only after eating that it thought of thanking the lantern.

"Nothing, I'm a druid! Growing plants is what I'm best at. Pull the lamp said proudly.

When the Great Beetle remembers the time when he was bound to magic, he guessed that the lantern was a child of nature in the druids. Now the words of the lantern have completely proved its guess correct.

"That ......," the big beetle looked at the lantern and didn't know what to call it for a moment.

"My name is Pull the Lamp." Pulling the lamp saw the embarrassment of the big beetle, and introduced it kindly.

"Hello pull the lamp, my name is Aruba." The big beetle also says its name.

"Hello, Aruba. Is there anything I can help with? ”

"That pull the lamp, you're a druid, can you help me see if these seeds are still saved." As he spoke, Aruba, the big beetle, took out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to the lantern.

I pulled the lamp and took the bag, and as soon as I opened it a little, I smelled a musty smell that was rushing to my nose. After opening it, I looked inside, and there were some shriveled and moldy paddies, half of which were filled with small bags.

Pull the lamp, take out some and put it in your hand, and look at it carefully.

"These are the rice grains that are very common in the human kingdom, right?" Pull the lamp asked.

Aruba, the great beetle, nodded.

"This is the only bit of rice left on me, so I want to see if I can grow it again."

"If you have stored it for too long, you can basically say that it cannot be planted." The lantern fiddled with the rice in his hand and made a judgment.

"Is there any way to save them? Please, just think of a way. "Aruba, the great beetle, pleaded repeatedly.

"As a druid, I can't do anything about it, even if I'm a child of nature." There was a pause in pulling the lamp.

When the great beetle Aruba heard this, he lowered his head as if he had resigned himself to his fate.

"But it's still very easy to save these seeds in a small town." Pulling the lamp took a breath and continued.

In order to prove that he was not lying, he took out an oversized bottle of moon spring water and poured a bag of seeds into it. The paddy that has been irrigated to the naked eye begins to swell and plump and become full of life.

"Aruba, why are you so concerned about a bag of rice?" La Lan looked at the rice in the bottle that had begun to sprout slightly, and asked curiously about Aruba who looked at the rice in the bottle with shiny eyes.

"That's normal, I'm a rice worm. Rice is my favorite food. Without even thinking about it, Aruba answered the question of pulling the lamp.

"Rice worms?" Pull the lamp and cry out in surprise.

"What rice worms? What rice worms? Murphy and Edward, who were fighting, turned their heads at the sound of the lights being pulled. Even Jia Kesi and Yase, who were silent on the side, focused their attention.

"Aruba says he was originally a rice worm!" Pulling the lamp pointed at the big beetle in surprise.

"Impossible! He is obviously the Crypt Lord of the Scourge, how can he be a rice worm! Murphy and Edward stopped fighting, and surrounded them with Jia Kesi and Yase.

"Who said that rice worms can't become crypt lords?" Aruba glanced at Murphy with contempt.

He hadn't forgotten that it was this skeleton and the big lobster behind him who bullied him the hardest.

"This... Thisβ€”" Murphy thought for a long time without coming up with a rebuttal.

The crowd looked at Aruba again. Not to mention ignoring the sharp horns on his head and the claws on his forelimbs. The round body does not have the hideous appearance of the legendary crypt lord at all. Get rid of a rice worm that has been magnified many times.

"Uh...... If you were a rice worm, what would you eat in the Scourge, you would have starved to death long ago! Murphy tried to prove his point from the other side.

Aruba gave Murphy another disdainful look.

Looking left and right, he ran to the middle road avenue below the highlands. The two forelimbs thrust hard into the soil, and then the body retreats, plowing the ground into two grooves. After turning around, move a position to the side, and then insert and pull. Two more grooves appeared in the ground. In a short time, a small piece of ground was covered with a dozen neat and parallel grooves.

Aruba returns to the highlands. The two front paws flipped upwards to reveal a pair of claws with five fingers. In the dull eyes of everyone, he took the water bottle in the hand of the lantern. He ran down again.

"I'll go! He's cheating! The Crypt Lord's scythe-like forelimbs actually hide a pair of hands? Murphy couldn't believe what was happening.

He turned, grabbed one of Edward's large pincers, and pulled it out.

"Did you hide a pair of hands under the pliers? Take it out and show me. ”

Edward struggled to break free as he tapped Murphy's head with another pincer. "When did you ever see a hand hidden in the lobster tongs? These are pliers, not gloves! ”

Aruba went down to Middle Road, took a handful of seeds from the water bottle, and planted them in the dug groove. Then the water from the moon well in the water bottle was watered.

After doing all this, he returned to the highlands. He said to Murphy, who was holding Edward's tongs, "I am in the natural disaster world, and I farm my own land. ”

"Then why do you have to ask the mayor if you can eat enough?" Murphy immediately asked rhetorically.

"Originally, I lived a good life in the Cataclysm Realm, but I was forcibly recruited into the Scourge. I hate war, and damn war keeps me from farming. The rice that I carried with me was almost enough to eat in the first year. In the years that followed, I could only eat a variety of plants, and occasionally I would eat some meat when I couldn't stand it when I was hungry. I haven't had enough for 2 years.

I was hungry the other day and couldn't stand it. Sneak around to the rear of the orcs, steal some of their stored food, and eat half full. As a result, they chased and killed them for several days, and finally escaped by digging a hole. I just didn't know how to dig here. ”

Listening to Aruba's account, everyone finally understood why he cared so much about eating.

The first sympathy flooded with the lantern, "It's okay, you will never be hungry in the town in the future." ”

"Murphy, hurry up and get some bone meal." Pull the lamp and shout at Murphy.

"Why, I've never eaten before. Why no one takes pity on me? Murphy muttered, but obediently took out a bag of bone meal.

La Lantern took the bone meal and sprinkled it all over Aruba's newly cultivated farmland. "Huh... Swish... "The rice has grown to the point where it can be harvested.

This time, it was Aruba's turn to be stunned.

"Hurry up and reap. Now that you've arrived in the town and become a member of the town, you don't have to think about hunger anymore. ”

The lantern patted Aruba's carapace, giving him infinite hope.
