The middle-aged wealthy businessman patted Miyamoto Musashi on the shoulder.

"Since you can't let it go, then I'll come. Don't thank me. ”

After saying that, the rich merchant became a cicada.

Cicada ORMs have the same characteristics as cicadas on Earth.

The cicada is one of the families of the suborder Hemiptera of insects.

Cicadas are a class of organisms of the phylum Arthropods, Insecta, Hemiptera, and Cicadaceae. There are about 3,000 species known. The reason why we have the illusion that cicadas have a short life is because of their unique life cycle. The life of a cicada goes through three stages: fertilized egg, larvae, and adult. In the summer, fertilized eggs laid in the early years hatch into larvae, which burrow into the soil and feed on the sap of plant rhizomes. When the larvae mature, they crawl to the ground, shed their golden exoskeletons, and emerge into our common winged adults. Although adult cicadas only live for a few months, the larval stage can survive in the soil for many years, such as the larval stage of a cicada with a 6-year lifespan, which accounts for 5 years of its life.

The cicada has two pairs of membranous wings, essentially the same shape, with a broad, short head with a distinctly prominent frontal-labial base; Visual acuity is quite good, the compound eyes are not large, located on both sides of the head and widely separated, and there are 3 monoculars. The antennae are short and whiskered. The mouthparts are slender, and there are esophagus and saliva ducts in the mouthparts, which belong to the stinging and sucking type. The chest includes the anterior, mid and posterior chests, with the anterior and mid chests being longer. Each of the three thorax has a pair of legs, the leg segments are stout and well developed, and the nymphs have front feet for digging, and the leg segments are swollen and prickly. The abdomen of the cicada is long cone-shaped, with a total of 10 abdominal segments, and the 9th abdominal segment becomes the caudal segment. The 1st and 2nd abdominal segments of the male cicada have articulators, and the 10th abdominal segment forms **; The 10th abdominal segment of the female cicada forms an oviduct and is relatively enlarged. The larvae live in the soil, and the last instar larvae are mostly brown and similar to the adults.

The larvae of cicadas live in the soil and have a pair of strong digging forefeet. The sap of plant roots is sucked by the piercing and sucking mouthparts to weaken the tree, make the branches die, and affect the growth of the tree. Usually stay in the soil for a few years or even more than ten years, such as 3 years, 5 years, and 17 years, these numbers have one thing in common, they are all prime numbers. This is because there are very few factors in prime numbers, which can prevent them from drilling out with other cicadas when they drill out of the soil, competing for territory and food. When it is about to be feeaten, it burrows out of the surface at dusk and at night, climbs on a tree, and then grabs the bark of the tree to molt and feather. When a black crack appears on the back of the cicada chrysalis, the molting process begins, the head comes out first, then the green body and wrinkled wings are revealed, and it stays for a moment to harden the wings and darken the color, and then it begins to take off. The whole process takes about an hour. At the end of June, the larvae begin to emerge into adults, and the newly fledged cicadas are green, with a maximum lifespan of about 60~70 days. In late July, female adults begin to lay eggs, and the peak oviposition is in early and mid-August, and the eggs are mostly laid on the branches with a thickness of 4~5 mm. In summer, they make loud noises in the trees, suck the sap with a needle mouthpiece, and the larvae inhabit the soil and suck the sap from the roots, which is harmful to the trees.

Molting is controlled by a hormone. The front legs of the cicada chrysalis are hooked, so that when the adult worm emerges from the empty shell, it can hang firmly on the tree. It is very important that the cicada pupae face vertically towards the tree. This is for the normal development of the adult wings, otherwise the wings will be deformed. The cicada uses the shell of the chrysalis as a base and slowly frees itself, like crawling out of a suit of armor. The whole process takes about an hour. When the cicada's upper body is free, it hangs upside down and spreads its wings. At this stage, the cicada's wings are soft, and they spread them out through the fluid tubes in them. The body fluid tube is caused by the pressure of the fluid to extend the wings. By the time the liquid is pumped back into the cicada's body, the spread wings have already hardened.

If a cicada is disturbed while its wings are spreading, the cicada will be crippled for life, perhaps unable to fly at all, and unable to vocalize.

Whenever the cicada is thirsty and hungry, it will always insert its hard mouthparts into the trunk of the tree to suck the juice all day long, inhale a large amount of nutrients and water into its body, and use it to prolong its life. The cicada grows in the soil before it is mature, and then slowly digs a hole and climbs on the trunk, if it is found that there is a thin mud in the soil robbery hole, there must be a young cicada, the cicada is lying on the trunk at night to shed its shell, and it has wings after shedding its shell.

The male cicada will chirp, its articulator in the abdominal muscles, like a large drum covered with a layer of eardrum, the eardrum is vibrated and produces sound, because the sound muscle can be contracted about 10,000 times per second, the cover plate and the tympanic membrane is empty, can play a role in resonance, so its song is particularly loud.

The males of each species produce three different calls: aggregate sounds, which are regulated by daily weather changes and other male calls; courtship sounds before mating; The gruff sound of being caught or frightened and flying away.

The cicada stabbed Miyamoto Musashi's younger brother in the head with a single claw. And Miyamoto Nobuko, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to be waiting for death, but in fact he was also preparing his fatal blow, and he would not let the cicada kill him.

"Get out. He's my brother, and it's not your turn to teach him a lesson. ”

Miyamoto Musashi was in a state of hesitation, whether to let his younger brother do it.

But the behavior of the cicada orm angered Miyamoto Musashi.

"My brother will be your turn?"

The sharp scythe of the mantis's forearm in Miyamoto Musashi's hand stabbed into the back of the cicada at once.

Cicada Orm pushes Miyamoto Musashi aside.

"You're crazy, I'm the one up there."

Cicada Orm covered her back wound and scolded Miyamoto Musashi.

"No matter who you are, as long as you dare to make a move on my brother, you will have only one end, and that is death."

Miyamoto Musashi turned to his younger brother and said, "Brother, do what you want to do, don't let your life have regrets." ”

"Hmm."

The other praying mantis orm, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up and didn't look at the cicada orm who tried to attack him.

Because he knew that the people who shot at him in the past, whether it was insects, were all killed by his brother mercilessly. The reason why he didn't let himself get close to the dancing girl was also for his own safety.

But to like is to like, and he does not regret his actions.

Miyamoto Musashi's younger brother, Miyamoto Nobuko, heard his brother's consent and walked towards the centipede orm happily.

Although Li Yi was fighting the centipede orm, he still saw everything that happened to the other three remaining insects with his spare eyes.

Similarly, the centipede ORM also knew.

"Abominable traitor."

Centipede Orm resisted Li Yi's punch and withdrew from the battle circle with Li Yi.

"Why do you want to seek revenge on me?"

The centipede orm provokes Miyamoto Nobuko.

Li Yi finally understood why the centipede orm had to be one-on-one with him, not for the sake of bullshit fairness, but because he couldn't control the people brought by his subordinates, they might grab the credit, or they could stab themselves.

"You must die."

Miyamoto Nobusei said in a serious tone.
