Section 387 Accidents
"Good job, brother!"
Chen Xing touched the white wolf's head and praised. The white wolf turned his head and roared in protest.
"Kill this thing first." Chen Xing said, taking out a few incendiary grenades from the storage space and pulling open the pull ring. The white wolf had a heart-to-heart connection with him, and immediately rushed towards the ghost-faced banyan. The ghost-faced banyan twisted its thick trunk and shot out dozens of roots, straight and sharp, like a spear array. I saw the white wolf dodging left and right among the thorny roots, and scurried to the vicinity of the trunk with great agility. Chen Xing raised his hand and threw out two incendiary grenades. During the whole process, the white wolf did not pause in the slightest and rushed to the rear.
"Boom!"
Flames rose into the sky, burning the canopy crackling. A silent wail rang out in my head, sharp and stinging.
"Come again!"
With Chen Xing's order, the white wolf ran rapidly to the side, as if a silver arc of light swept past the trunk of the tree. Two can-shaped incendiary grenades swirled in the air, landed at the foot of the tree in a parabola, and exploded with a bang.
The flames rushed up to the canopy again, burning red all around.
"Whew!"
A sharp sound sounded in his head, like countless 10,000-ton giant ships sounding their whistles at the same time, shaking the heavens and the earth, as if the whole world was collapsing.
Chen Xing snorted and almost fell off the wolf's back. The white wolf was also affected to a certain extent, and his steps were crooked, as if he was drunk. Ghost-faced Banyan is slow to move, relying on mental shock. At the same time, distorted human faces appeared on the trunks of the trees, and the hollow eyes were bleeding thick plasma, which was terrifying.
Fortunately, the spiritual attack was only for a moment, Chen Xing quickly recovered, one turned into three, leaving two clones to attract attention, and the main body detoured behind the tree, and threw out the incendiary grenade again.
Ghost-faced banyan trees are trees that, like all trees, are afraid of fire. I saw that it was on fire, moved a few meters forward, and shot out roots and smashed Chen Xing's clone. Chen Xing repeated his old trick again, used his clone to attract attention, and smashed a few rounds of burning grenades out.
The incendiary grenade contains concentrated fuel oil with adhesive properties and can burn for five to ten minutes. Orange-red flames covered the entire Ghost-faced Banyan tree, and the leaves curled and charred black flew around with the flames.
In order to avoid forest fires, Chen Xing drove the wolves back and found a few termite worker ants following behind, and asked them to go to a nearby river to absorb water and spray water jets to extinguish the fire.
Back on the battlefield, the flames burned more and more, and the ghost-faced banyan frantically danced its branches, but in vain. Seeing that he was about to be burned alive, the trunk suddenly shrank and became smaller, the roots of the tree converged towards the center, and the leaves fell off in an instant, like a layer of fire clouds falling from the sky. Immediately after, the shrunken tree burrowed into the soil.
Chen Xing immediately realized that the ghost-faced banyan wanted to escape, so he drove the wolf forward and shot continuously at the trunk of the tree. But the ghost-faced banyan sank extremely fast, and the whole tree sank into the soil in less than twenty seconds, leaving only a basin-sized hole in the ground, emitting slow green smoke.
Chen Xing hesitated for a moment and did not send termites to pursue. After all, it's a big town-level creature, and it's hard to catch it if you run away with all your might. In addition, he also wanted to leave some scruples for the white wolf, otherwise the danger would be cleared, and he would lose his temper again.
Then, Chen Xing rode the wolf around the territory of the wolves a few times, and taught their neighbors a lesson by the way, so that they could remember the horror of the wolves.
After doing this, the wolves are considered safe for the time being. Then Chen Xing took termites and wolves to get acquainted. The insect wolf is a half-insect and half-mammal, half of the same kind as termites.
The she-wolf was the temporary leader of the pack, and Chen Xing took it to the hatchery to meet a nearby nesting queen.
"You will be allies in the future, help each other and survive here."
Chen Xing said that the queen of the nest sent a kind brain wave to the she-wolf, and the she-wolf let out a low chirp to agree to the alliance. Although they help each other, it is actually the anthill that takes care of the wolves. Unless the pack regains to more than 1,000 wolves and a new town-level boss is created.
The matter was over here, and Chen Xing set off to return to Orchid Town. By helping the wolves, the white wolf reconciled with him and no longer fought for control of his body. Chen Xing did not imprison it anymore and let it move freely. Sometimes it rests on the runes, sometimes it swims in the sea, sometimes it floats in the sky, and it is leisurely.
But it has always been the wolf king, and its personality is a little arrogant, and it is usually reluctant to be Chen Xing's mount, and Chen Xing also understands this and does not force it.
In mid-December, Chen Xing returned to Orchid Town. Now there are more than ten days before the harvest festival, and he plans to go to the crow market this year to accompany Yeyang Bailiu for the festival. In his mind, or in fact, Yeyang Bailiu is his wife, and it is natural for her husband to accompany his wife for the holidays.
But the best case is that he goes to Longshi Town to send a message to Yeyang Bailiu, if Yeyang Bailiu agrees, it is best to go back to Orchid Town for the holiday, so that Suna will not be snubbed. I have to say that three wives and four concubines are many happiness and many responsibilities.
The big mansion in Orchid Town has been built, and the renovation is in the final stage.
The furniture and materials were purchased by Monitor Lizard City, and they cost a lot of money, all of which were of the highest grade on the market. Starting with the architectural layout, the house is made of reinforced concrete, with a trapezoidal structure, and the exterior wall is made of steel plates with red brick skin. The house has two floors, the entrance is the hall, the left side hall and dining room, the right side is the tea room and the collection hall, in the middle is the "Y" shaped bifurcated staircase, behind the stairs is a row of maids' bedrooms, and then there is the back garden and swimming pool.
There are four toilets on the first floor. The dining room is the kitchen at the rear and the storage room is at the rear of the collection hall. Going up the stairs, at the end of the left side is the master room, at the end of the right side is the study, and in the middle are four bedrooms with toilets.
In the middle of the living room are six couches in a rectangular shape, with two coffee tables in the middle. The sofa is made of the leather of the Tianshan Snow Cow, which is soft and tough, not only feels good, but also very durable, and the price of a sofa is nearly 3,000 gold coins.
The dining room features long dining tables and dining chairs, all made of walnut wood with intricate carvings. There are thousands of gold coins on the wall, and there are floral wallpapers, which are elegant and luxurious. The tea room is made of rockeries and potted plants, hanging ink paintings of the Eastern Continent, small bridges and flowing water, and moonlight on lotus ponds, giving people a clean and elegant feeling.
The master bedroom on the second floor is more than 100 square meters, with a bathroom made of ivory white jade bricks, a bathroom with a circular bath, and a spacious cloakroom.
The bed in the master bedroom is made of oak wood, and the two large beds are spliced together, three meters long and five meters wide, which is extremely large, even if you fight in the ring on the bed. The study is also very spacious, with a thick gilded carpet, bookcases on three walls, various works of art, and a small round table and chairs covered with cloth for guests.
Two of the single bedrooms are decorated according to the women's boudoir, which are reserved for Yeyang Bailiu and Suna respectively, and the other two rooms are neutrally decorated, temporarily vacant.
This house heavy industry cost Chen Xing 170,000 gold coins, which is extremely luxurious. The basement is a training centre where you can work out, a small heated pool, and a small cinema and bar.
Further down is the escape route to Suna's underground kingdom. Compared to the fortified mansions above ground, the underground structure is much larger. Suna's underground kingdom occupies one-third of the entire underground of Orchid Town, and the corridors extend in all directions.
At Chen Xing's request, Suna concentrated on the production of grouting ants during this time, and now there are more than 200 ants. In addition to eating the regular food of termites, grout ants also eat a lot of soil, absorb minerals from the soil, and form slurry in the body. Adult grout ants can spray twice a day, acting on about seven cubic meters of soil, and two hundred grout ants are about 2,800 cubic meters a day, and it takes months to build a huge underground kingdom.
Of course, Chen Xing can also ask Suna to produce more grouting ants, but from the perspective of the ecosystem of the anthill, producing too many grouting ants is easy to break the balance of resource supply, and the life span of grouting ants is longer, so it can be done gradually.
Mutant colonies are usually centered on the evolution of descendants, and unless in a special environment, 70% of the resources of a functioning population are supplied to descendants. When necessary, the offspring can abandon the population and find another place to develop. As long as the postworm is there, the population is there, and when the postworm dies, no matter how large the population is, it will gradually die out.
After inspecting the work in the town, Chen Xing began to prepare for the trip to the Crow Market.
Before leaving, he carried a kettle filled with black tea down to the incubation room, first warmed up with Milk E, and then made a pot of freshly squeezed milk tea.
"Well, it smells so good!"
Chen Xing took a sip of the lid of the kettle, the milk tea was extremely sweet, and he couldn't help but admire.
"Brother is so bad~"
Suna snuggled into his arms, coquettish. Chen Xing drank milk tea, hugged his delicate body, and had a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, Suna seemed to have a premonition, and tears gradually appeared in the corners of her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xing asked.
"Brother, are you leaving again?" Suna asked pitifully.
"I'll be away for a while, and I'll be back soon." Chen Xing wiped away her tears and comforted. Seriously, he didn't want to leave, but the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and Ye Yang Bailiu had paid a lot to him, so he couldn't leave her alone in the Crow Ruins for the holiday, right?
After returning from the Black Death Continent, he has been in a hurry, and the two have not had a good get-together.
Between his thoughts, Chen Xing suddenly noticed that a blue light swept through the darkness. He was taken aback, the blue mang represented spiritual energy, could it be that they had intruded into the uninvited guest while their ears were grinding.
"Who's there!"
The voice was extremely fierce, and Suna in her arms was startled by him, and looked at him nervously, thinking that she had done something wrong and made her dear brother angry.
"Twitter ......"
The call of worker ants was heard in the darkness, and the blue light lit up again, moving towards this direction. Chen Xing vigilantly pushed away Suna and stood up, bowing and bending his arms, looking like a great enemy. Suna looked puzzled, and asked with her mouth open, "Brother, it's the little baby in the family, what's wrong with you?" ”
Before the words fell, Chen Xing saw the appearance of the uninvited guest clearly, it was an ordinary termite worker ant, the only difference was that the compound eyes were blue and dazzling. It turned out to be just a false alarm, and it was estimated that it was a new species of termite, but he had never seen it. Chen Xing let down his guard and sat down again with Suna in his arms.
"Hey, how did the little baby become like this?"
Chen Xing was relieved, but Suna was puzzled. Hearing Suna's words, Chen Xing became nervous again. In this underground kingdom, every unit is Suna's people, and it is a bit unbelievable that there is a situation where the queen ant is not clear.
"Ah, you said you were thrown into a very dark place by your brother, grew up there, and then teleported out?" Suna's expression became even more confused.
"Tsk!" The blue-eyed termites chirped, and then a small arc of electricity appeared all over the body, and with a "zila" sound, it teleported to the two of them.
Teleport over short distances!
Chen Xing was taken aback. It's not surprising that termites will do this, it's information in their gene pool, but they must light a spiritual fire to use it. If Suna was a star-eater queen, it wouldn't be strange that the worker ants would teleport, but Suna was still 108,000 miles away from that level.
What is the concept of a star-eating queen? It was a more powerful existence than the king level, at least the standard of the emperor level, which currently only existed in theory, and was speculated by humans through some clues, not seen with their own eyes.
"Oh, that's how you teleported, my little darling is awesome~" Suna gently touched the termite's swollen head, and the latter let out a pleasant cry. She has no concept of the evolution of worker ants at all, everything is done according to instinct, and she will not be suspicious like Chen Xing.
"Wait......" Chen Xing suddenly remembered what happened before, and asked hurriedly, "It said that it was thrown into a certain place by me?" ”
"Twitter, twitter......" The blue-eyed termites called at Chen Xing.
"It said it didn't know, it just knew that it was dark and dark, and then it saw some glowing sand...... "Suna translated.
Devil's Pot!
Chen Xing suddenly realized that the place where the termites were talking was the inside of the Demon Pot, and he had personally stuffed the young ants into it. In other words, it evolved into what it is now within the Demon Pot.
"Glowing sand?" Chen Xing repeated, stretching out his hand, and a little bit of star sand appeared from his palm. This is him mobilizing the spiritual energy in his body to overflow from the palm of his hand.
"Tsk!" Termites raise their heads and call.
"It says so, but there's more sand in there, more than our entire crypt." Suna translated.
"What does it eat in it?" Chen Xing asked. If you throw it in, you will be a larvae, and if you come out, you will be an adult, can you survive by eating star sand?
"Twitter......" "It says to eat sand that glows." Suna continued to translate.
"So that's ......" Chen Xing was immediately relieved, mutant termites are species that eat everything, and it is not uncommon to directly devour Xingsha to evolve. It's just that there are so many stars and sand that they can be eaten as food.
"Let's find out how many more like it." Chen Xing demanded, and the entire anthill moved. In less than half an hour, several blue-eyed worker ants came to him. I counted exactly five, which was the number of young ants he had stuffed into the Demon Pot that day.
"Come with me." Chen Xing called the ant cart and took Suna to the storage place of the Demon Pot.
It is clear that these worker ants evolved in the space in the pot, and this evolution was benign. The fact that the worker ants guarding the Demon Pot did not report it as he ordered them to do is that they regarded the workers who came out of it as companions and did not feel "abnormal".
Could it be that the purpose of this demon pot is to allow species to evolve?
Or is it that the Demon Pot contains a great deal of spiritual energy, which can give the species the energy it needs to evolve?
With this in mind, Chen Xing came to the storage room. The Demon Pot stood silently, exactly as it had been the last time it had gone.
