"The appearance of the sinkhole is due to the opening of the shelter, and the opening of the shelter is influenced by the evolution of insects." The answer given by Wu Ming confirmed Li Mo's guess.

"We'll sleep around here tonight, and when tomorrow dawns, the shelter will be activated, and the fog will dissipate." ”

Wu Ming said again: "But we still have to be cautious tonight, not only to guard against insects, but also to guard against people like us." ”

It can be seen that he doesn't think that among his kind, only himself and Hongyan will rush to this refuge.

Li Mo also heard that the "freshmen" were really not friendly with each other. There should also be competition, and even hostility.

Hongyan frowned and swept around, and soon found a relatively empty area more than 100 meters away from the sinkhole.

It's just that when he got there, Li Mo didn't think it was an ideal campsite, and with his habits, he still thought that the trees were the safest.

But then, he saw Hongyan take a strange bottle from her waist bag.

The bottle is pitch black and cylindrical, about the size of a beer. Li Mo couldn't tell what material it was made of.

It's just that when Hongyan opened the bottle, he saw that what was inside was actually an earthworm-like insect, and the bottle was full of it.

"What is this?" He has never had a good impression of bugs, and his eyes are full of disgust.

But Wu Ming, who also saw this kind of insect, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes: "It's a greedy insect!" You've cultivated this bug! ”

When Fu Fayong and the others heard this, they all surrounded them curiously. It's just that they are all the same as Li Mo, they are all full of suspicion.

Du Yueyue was curious. But he definitely couldn't pull his face to ask Hongyan, so he grabbed Wu Ming coquettishly: "Captain." Tell me, what is this bug for? ”

Wu Ming smiled faintly. "This is also a type of evolutionary worm, the lowest first-order evolutionary worm. But this bug is harmless and feeds on dirt and rocks. ”

"Isn't that still similar to an earthworm?" Du Yueyue pouted, and immediately lost interest.

"It's completely different." Wu Ming didn't care about this girl's complaints, and looked at Hongyan's eyes, and then said: "Don't look at the greedy insects, they are not big, but they have a magical expansion characteristic and the ability to digest quickly. I'm going to blow your mind soon. ”

And when he spoke, Hongyan had already put dozens of greedy insects in the bottle on the ground.

Then, Li Mo and the others were horrified to see that this small insect quickly devoured the soil on the ground.

And the speed of devouring is extremely fast, and with swallowing, the small body expands even more rapidly.

In just ten minutes, dozens of gluttonous insects grew to the size of pythons. It's a hundredfold bigger.

And in that area, they also dug a tunnel with a diameter of nearly one meter.

The tunnel is dug diagonally into the ground, not too deep, but at the end of the tunnel. But a hole of a few square meters was excavated, enough for four or five people to barely shelter.

But to this extent, dozens of gluttonous insects have also eaten to the limit. They all got out of the tunnels and climbed around Hongyan. It's just that the scene is a bit oozing. It's like a beautiful woman falling into a snake hole.

Wu Ming squatted down and looked inside along the tunnel. After getting up, he said a little helplessly: "The place is a little small." ”

Li Mo hurriedly said, "I'll just sleep on the tree." ”

Although I have seen the magic of this gluttonous insect. But he was not willing to go into this hole at all. Not to mention that it is easy to be blocked inside, what if the outside collapses?

Who knew that Du Yueyue had the same attitude with him this time, and her head shook like a rattle: "I won't go in either, who knows if it will collapse?" ”

As for the remaining three, they are all very curious about this cave and have nothing to reject.

But Hongyan directly gave Li Mo a roll of the eyes: "This cave is prepared for me, you can do it yourself." ”

After that, he took the dozens of greedy insects and walked towards the forest, and he didn't know why he went.

Everyone looked at her back and was speechless, and after a long time, whether they were willing to sleep in the cave or unwilling to sleep, they all made themselves amorous.

Du Yueyue is obviously very angry with Hongyan, but she has nothing to do with others.

However, when he looked at Li Mo, he turned on the mockery mode again, and sarcastically said to him: "You seem to know your master very well, and you also know how to find a good step for yourself in advance." ”

Hearing this, Li Mo didn't pay attention to this stubble at all, but secretly sneered in his heart.

And seeing that he didn't answer, even Du Yueyue herself felt a little bored.

After a few more minutes, I saw Hongyan walking back, but her dozens of big bugs were gone.

Li Mo was a little curious about those bugs, and stepped forward and asked, "What about the bugs?" ”

Hongyan smiled and raised the bottle in her hand: "I after eating, of course I put it away." How? Are you interested in their excrement? It's over there, see for yourself. ”

Li Mo was speechless for a while, and said in his heart, who wants to see that thing. However, I am particularly impressed by the excretion ability of insects, which was cleaned so quickly.

Then Hongyan stretched out her hand to pull him up and walked to the edge of the tunnel, "Follow me in." ”

Li Mo looked at her suspiciously: "I'll just sleep on the tree." ”

When Hong Yan heard this, she suddenly looked at him with a smile: "Don't be sentimental, okay?" I need your help. With that, he got into it.

When Li Mo saw it, he had to follow her into the cave.

It's just that as soon as the two of them entered, there was a discordant voice from Wu Ming's side.

I heard the handsome guy Fu Fayong sneer: "It turns out that he is still a male pet." ”

But as soon as he said this, even Wu Ming frowned slightly.

And Chen Ling, another female member who has never spoken much, showed even more disgust. said coldly: "Is it interesting that you are talking about others behind your back?" ”

But when her voice fell, Du Yueyue was about to choke when she opened her mouth. But fortunately, Du Feng opened his mouth first and said softly: "You shut up for me!" It's shameful that it's not enough! ”

Seeing that the old brother was angry. Du Yueyue was silent immediately, which showed that she was still very afraid of her brother.

And Wu Ming looked at his four companions. But he is very helpless, which shows that he is not a person who is good at controlling the team.

On the other side, Li Mo and Hongyan had already entered the cave. Both of them had excellent ear power, and they could hear the argument outside.

Hongyan looked at her with a smile and started the co-frequency connection: "It seems that those of your kind not only reject me, but also look at you very unpleasantly." I've always felt that the humans of your age are really very keen on infighting. ”

Li Mo didn't care about his cancellation, and responded calmly: "I can't talk about infighting. However, it is true to bully the soft and fear the hard. If I can't mess with you, they can only bully me. Okay, let's get down to business, what do you want me to do for you? ”

Hongyan didn't tease him anymore, so she said, "I saw those slime on the cave wall, it was a liquid secreted by the body when the gluttonous insect was digging." After air drying, it will be transformed into a very strong protective layer, which has a reinforcing effect. If it is originally air-dried. It takes about half an hour. But if you have the ability of the qi attribute, you don't have to be so troublesome. ”

Li Mo immediately understood, and he was also a little curious about this, so he activated the qi attribute pituitary gland. A circulating airflow was constructed in the burrow.

Under the action of the air current, that is, in a matter of a minute or two, the mucus on the cave wall is completely dried and hardened. It becomes a translucent substance that reflects the luster.

Li Mo touched it curiously, and it was really hard. I still don't like to live in a cave. But he also has to admit that this gluttonous insect is indeed quite practical in the wild.

Hongyan seemed to see his interest in gluttonous insects. He took the initiative to say: "The effect of bulimonous insects is not actually sleeping in the wild. The ones I raised are still just larvae, but I have limited their growth in one way. And once this insect reaches adulthood, its size will increase by dozens of times. You should be able to imagine how far the swallowing amount will be in adulthood.

Didn't you ask me before if you weren't a human being in the same civilization as Wu Ming? Now I can tell you that your guess is not wrong at all. And this gluttonous insect was used to build a living place in our civilization. ”

Li Mo didn't want Hongyan to suddenly talk to him about this, but after listening to her words, he felt very surprised, and couldn't help but say: "In your era, human beings lived underground? ”

"yes, that's why I like larvae with bulimous insects. To tell you the truth, I admit that you civilized human beings have built buildings that are more comfortable than the underground buildings we built back then. But I still like to live in a cave in the ground, and only in the cave can I feel safe. Hongyan said faintly.

Li Mo can understand this, but he just looks at Hongyan, although he doesn't know how ancient civilized people like them "lived" until now. But I sighed a little, is such "living" really a kind of happiness?

In another era when he lost his kind, Li Mo felt that Hongyan was no different from rootless duckweed.

However, he also knew that although the mysterious ancient civilization woman in front of him touched something, she definitely didn't need his own comfort. Then he said, "Nothing else, I'll go out." ”

"Well, but when you get out, help me put this at the entrance of the cave." Hongyan naturally will not be retained.

It's just that as she spoke, she actually took out three walnut-sized, green round things from another slightly smaller black bottle.

Li Mo looked at the three "green walnuts" in amazement, and couldn't help asking, "What is this?" ”

"It's a warning bug, you just have to put it at the mouth of the hole." Hongyan replied casually, but did not mean to explain.

Li Mo saw that she didn't mean to say much, and didn't ask much, turned around and drilled out of the hole, and according to what Hongyan said, put the three "green walnuts", the finished glyphs, on the ground outside the hole.

It's just that he just put it away, but he saw three green walnuts, which suddenly changed.

Only then did Li Mo realize that they were all curled up in the form of vine-like insects.

But now, the three green worms stretched out their bodies, like three little finger-thick and two-hand-long tree vines, standing upright. At both ends of the body, one end burrowed into the earth, while the other end, a faint green light emitted.

Li Mo was amazed, since Hongyan just said that this thing is called a warning bug, it must be used for vigilance.

It's just that he can't figure out what kind of warning law it is. I only know that Hongyan will definitely be able to control this kind of insect through some means, just like controlling those greedy insects to dig holes.

But Li Mo didn't know, but it didn't mean that Wu Ming didn't know.

Moreover, Wu Ming knows that this kind of vigilant insect is different from a gluttonous insect, and if you want to control it, you need some special means.

And for that kind of means, even Wu Ming himself didn't know.

Because in their civilization, this method of manipulating insects has long been lost and collapsed in the long river of time.

But at this time, Hongyan took out this kind of bug, and obviously knew the means to control it.

This also reminded Wu Ming of a special group of people in his era that had long been extinct-insect masters.

This kind of person can control insects by some means, hence the title of "insect master".

And when he realized that Hongyan was likely to be a mysterious insect master, Wu Ming couldn't help but be a little excited.

It's just that his partner on his side has not been able to deal with Hong Yan very well, so he temporarily suppressed his thoughts to ask Hong Yan clearly. I decided to wait until the shelter was opened this time, and then find a chance to communicate with Hongyan.

Of course, there are other factors that make him not in a hurry.

Because as far as Wu Ming knows, although people like insect masters are very mysterious, the insects they can control are actually limited, that is, they are only used for assistance, but they are not of much help in battle.

Let's just say that kind of alert bug, it is nothing more than that you can observe the wind and grass within a certain range, and once you encounter any threat, you will issue an early warning.

That's why he didn't rush to disturb Hongyan, but smiled at Li Mo very kindly: "The task of keeping vigil tonight will be handed over to us, you can sleep peacefully." ”

Although Hongyan laid a warning insect, at the vigil, Wu Ming was not sloppy at all.

"Then I'm going to work hard for you." Li Mo said politely, and then turned on the qi attribute ability, and flew directly onto the giant tree beside him.

When he had just used his ability to dry the cave, it was impossible for him to hide it from Wu Ming and the others. The other party must have guessed this ability of his, and of course there is no need to hide it.

However, Li Mo has always believed in the indispensability of guarding against others, and although he promised very happily, he didn't plan to sleep at all tonight.

Not to mention Wu Ming and the others, even for Hongyan, he is still vigilant, and it is impossible to trust him.

And Li Mo also knew that Hongyan had arranged those warning insects, and she actually had the same idea as herself.

He sat on the branch, his eyes narrowed, observing Wu Ming and the others. I happened to see that Wu Ming released his cat beast.

The cat walked lightly, walked without a sound, and soon disappeared into the night.

Li Mo knew that this cat beast would definitely wander around the camp tonight, and it was completely a swimming sentry. (To be continued......)
