Chapter 13: The God-Given Seed
The heavy rain in the summer was a big problem, and Marubra re-planned the excavation chamber.
The location was again chosen under the boulder, and this time the design is W-shaped of the body, and in the long run, the passage and chamber are designed to be wide.
Two solstices, the first as a drainage reservoir and the second as a perch.
The two highest points, the first of which stores rotten dead leaves, and the second which goes deep into the inside of the stone, are relatively dry and can be used to store jerky.
The widening of the passage poses a great safety hazard, and predators such as snakes and rats are likely to crawl in, especially during the weak period of evolutionary slumber. Bambi specially brought back a good-sized stone from the stream to plug the hole, just in case.
On both sides of the stream are green meadows, which are home to a large number of swordhorn locusts, and the grass fields cultivated by the big-headed harvesting ants attract them well, so there is no need to worry about overhunting.
The door is the hunting ground, it is convenient and safe to hunt, and there are always locusts in the swordhorn, so the food will not be cut off.
There is nothing wrong with the inheritance memory of the cockroach tribe, as long as the food is sufficient, the junior warrior can grow quickly.
After more than 20 days, Zebu's state of fatigue and lethargy reappeared, a precursor to molting and evolving.
A month later, he fell into a deep sleep.
……
L2 junior warrior, body length 18, this evolutionary genetic breakthrough is not big, it does not take long, and the body shape and structure only appear to be difficult to change slightly. Similar to a small realm breakthrough of a human warrior, it is common to improve strength, speed, carapace hardness, flight ability, and so on.
In the future, there will be 7 more such evolutions, and there will be a second qualitative improvement when promoted to an intermediate warrior.
Banbu guessed that the jungle should be located in the subtropical south of the planet.
The poor geographical location and geographical structure, especially in the middle of summer, or the torrential rain or the scorching sun, are simply nature's whipping of living beings.
It must have just experienced a rainstorm, and the jungle was being baked by the scorching sun, and the room was hot and humid, and the air seemed to be dripping water.
Inspecting the stored jerky, it turned into a lump of gray-black mold again.
Fortunately, this time the evolution is not as weak as the last time, and after eating a few rotten leaves, my strength has recovered a lot.
When I came to the entrance of the cave to check, it was noon, the heat wave was rolling, and the smoke was billowing.
The jungle plants enjoy the hot and humid weather and thriving.
The grass grows fiercely, and before the zebra sleeps, their flower spikes have just withered, condensing clusters of seeds, and when they wake up from sleep, their seeds are already golden and ripe.
Most of the animals could not tolerate the weather and could not hide, only the hard-working harvesting ants were busy under the scorching sun.
They bite with their jaws, cut off the grass from the rhizome, pluck the seeds from the ears, and carry them to a flat and dry place to dry.
As a result of the spotted cloth and a few small flower snakes hunting and grazing the young leaves of Xuncao, they have enjoyed a bumper harvest this year.
"My first seed has been conceived, do you want to sow it?"
"Forget it, the season is not right, it's a Force plant, in case it gets sunburned, it's a pity."
"But what seed is better to choose as a life seed next?"
Zebrabu began to weigh up.
In the middle of summer, many plant fruits begin to ripen, and there are many ways to obtain seeds, and the inheritance memory records that there are several shrubs and trees in this forest that are suitable for the current size, and there is no need to choose grass seeds for the second life.
He went out to hunt two sword-horned locusts, lay at the entrance of the cave, and thought while eating.
There are more than a dozen mulberry trees growing next to the stream, the specific variety is called "white jade mulberry", deciduous trees, mulberry is a delicacy, mulberry seeds are very small, and the life bag just can accommodate it. However, it takes at least three years for mulberry seeds to mature and bear fruit after they are sown.
In the woods not far away, there is a rare sun-reflecting fruit tree, an evergreen tree, which also has the problem of slow growth.
Red raspberries are the best choice, but unfortunately the fruit does not ripen until late autumn.
The life bag of the cockroach warrior gives birth to the life seed, sows the life seed, and quickly absorbs the cosmic force from the life plant, which is quite complex, and it can be said that the choice of each life seed is related to the future evolution and growth.
"Anyway, the seeds will have to wait for next spring to be sown, and the current choice is nothing more than a priority, so don't worry too much about this."
Banbu went to take advantage of the safety of the midday heat, went to the stream, went back and forth, and plucked more than a dozen mulberries and threw them at the entrance of the ant gate where the big head harvested ants.
Not picky eaters, these big-headed ants swarm and quickly nibble on the flesh of the mulberry, collect the seeds inside, and dry them in the sun.
Banbu went to the location of the Reflecting Sun Fruit Tree again, and with great effort, dragged back half of the Reflecting Sun Fruit and threw it at the entrance of the ant cave.
Still, the big-headed harvester ants dispatched a large number of worker ants, quickly gnawed the pulp, collected the seeds, and placed them in a dry place to dry.
Seeing this, Madara no longer worries, and returns to the depths of his chamber and begins to think about how to improve the structure and create a storage room that can stay dry for a long time, which can be used to store dried meat and life seeds.
It is barely acceptable for the jerky to be damp and mildew, and if such an important thing is planted and germinated early because of moisture, it will be a fatal loss.
Zebrabu turns the goal of the chamber's development to the black rocks.
The flat jungle and the appearance of huge rocks are somewhat abrupt, which does not conform to the laws of geological evolution, and must be extraterrestrial meteorites rich in metal elements. The strange thing is that such a large meteorite fell, and the surrounding landform is a little inconsistent.
The rock is very hard, and the storage warehouse is carved in it, so the moisture does not erode into it so easily.
Madara tried it, and after the second evolution, the tips of the toes were also slightly strengthened, and they could be excavated little by little.
It's slow and time-consuming, so for the time being, I'll just dig a narrow passage that is only large enough for my current body to pass through, and drill as deep as I can.
Busy until late at night, digging to a depth of about 30.
It is enough for the time being, and it will take a long time to come, and then slowly expand in the future.
The zebra spits out the seeds of Xuncao in the life bag, wraps them in a blanket of dried grass leaves, and carefully preserves them.
Nowadays, most of the swordhorn locust nymphs have grown into adults with a body length of about 20, and the size is larger than the spotted cloth, so the hunting rules do not need to change, and they go out at dawn and noon, and it is enough to hunt two adults each time.
Guarding the Xuncao field, life is very easy and comfortable.
It was another sunny day, and in the morning, early in the morning, the dew was dried, and the big-headed harvesting ants were busy carrying the seeds out to dry. The humidity of the air is slightly slow, and it will dry thoroughly after half a morning.
Banbu went out on time, stood on the blades of grass in the distance, and carefully compared, planning to select 3 seeds of the best quality white jade mulberry and 3 seeds of Yingri fruit respectively, and put them in the storage warehouse for later use.
Attention is drawn by a golden seed.
The shape is distinguished, and it is Xun grass seeds.
Ordinary Xuncao seeds are brown and yellow in color after drying, and they are definitely mutated Xuncao seeds!
"Seeds of the Force plant!"
"Am I lucky? Or is this planet full of Force and more likely to spawn plant mutations? ”
When Banbu was excited, a vague inheritance memory in the imprinted soul emerged: God-given seed!
The cockroach tribe calls the seeds of the Force plants "God-given seeds", and they believe in the laws of nature, revering "nature" as "gods", and "God-given seeds" symbolizing the gifts of nature.
According to the Inheritance Memory, there are two ways to cultivate the God-given seed:
The first is direct seeding, where the resulting Force plants condense seeds or fruits, and when swallowed, they can gain uncertain special abilities.
The second is to use the life bag to conceive, there is a chance to integrate the racial ability into the god-given seed, and obtain a super-high quality life seed, the disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of cosmic force and delays its own evolutionary growth.
Banbu hesitated for two seconds, flapped his wings and took off, swooped to the ground, swallowed the god-given seed into his stomach in one gulp, and urged the life bag to wrap it. The action immediately aroused the anger of the big-headed harvesting ants guarding the seeds, and they showed their teeth and claws, looking desperate.
Banbu didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly picked a few tree species and flapped his wings and left.
