I can understand what you think. Liu Shunyun nodded lightly: "However, I don't know how long he will sleep." I'm afraid I'll ...... if I keep waiting. ”

"Don't worry." Tianxiang turned around and walked in front of her, looked at the woman's beautiful face, and said with a smile: "I have this patience." He could sleep as long as he wanted. As long as I live, I will never let him go. This is not only for the sake of your dead people, but also for myself and the entire dragon clan. ”

Hearing this, the woman stopped talking. Just slowly pulled Tianxiang's hand, stuck it on his smooth face, and gently grinded back and forth。。。。。。

"If you don't dislike it。。。。。。 I think...... AND YOU ... And you。。。。。。 Make Sex 。。。。。。 May I? ”

The woman's voice was a little shy. Compared to the charm that was close to debauchery before, it was really a world of difference. How? Do you need it right now? Tianxiang smiled, hugged the woman's shoulder, and got close to his body.

No...... Not so。。。。。。 I just want to。。。。。。 In this way, I show the gratitude in my heart。。。。。。 I can get my hands on something that represents gratitude, and probably, it's only mine。。。。。。 ”

At this point, the woman's face was already flushed. The sound grew quieter and quieter, as if the smallest bug was snorting at the leaves. "If that's the case, then you don't have to." Suddenly, Tianxiang pushed the woman in his arms away heavily, and said with a cold expression: "I promised you something, and I will never break my promise." You don't have to feel guilty about this kind of thing. Yes, I like you. Would love to sleep with you too. However, if it is in this way, I'm afraid I won't be too interested. Now, I'd like to ask you to take me to see what you call the larval locust culture room. Let's go! ”

The sudden change caught the woman off guard. She looked at the other with some surprise, and only slowly rose from her seat when she was sure that the burly man was right. With a bit of frustration and loneliness. Walk gently up the stairs of the stone chamber. Compared with the two of them in the narrow cave before, the outside world is really full of too much noise. Huge construction machinery has dug through the valley, and armored combat vehicles, which have been separated by sand and gravel for a long time, have come out of the narrow mountain passes. The damaged vehicle, which was buried under the stones, was also dragged and pushed by its companions in front and behind, and slowly moved its huge body out of it, and drove until it was open in the basin to undergo detailed maintenance. The wounded soldiers, after being briefly treated, were also put on the helicopters of the China Computer Education Newspaper platform. Soaring into the air in the deafening propeller wing feat, it slowly disappeared to the other end of the valley. Of course, all of these. These are all the things that the Conquerors are currently doing. And the vanquished, who had posed a great threat to them, stood aside. With his mouth wide open and an expression of disbelief, he stared intently at what was happening in front of him.

Because everything that is happening today has completely overturned the preconceived notions of these hunters. They really don't know. , what kind of mentality should be used to face these dragon people who look no different from themselves on the outside, but are extremely mysterious...... Tianxiang didn't pay any attention to the eyes of others. Instead, under the leadership of the beautiful black cloud female leader, she walked through the crowded central clearing, went straight to a low, ordinary-looking building, and stopped her steps.

It is a cottage with a surface area of no more than a few tens of square meters. It's just that. Tianxiang knew that this was just a disguise for it. The secrets hidden here are all buried in the ground, just like those glorious civilizations that once stood out on Earth. The word "hive" to describe the scene in the room is indeed a bit inappropriate. However, judging from all the things in the house at the moment, it is really appropriate.

To be precise, the hut made of stone and dirt was a camouflage to hide what was underneath. This is because the perimeter and corners of the house are completely filled with wax that is unique to insects. Forms a layer of smooth, hard objects. Among them, there is also an oval passage about several meters wide, which extends from the interface between the scene and the door to the ground...... Such a scene is not unfamiliar to Tianxiang. On the Worm Mountain near Dragon City, and in all the previous wanderings with his sister, he had seen something similar more than once. This is the home that the insects create with their body secretions, and it is also the foundation of their survival in the underground world - the hive.

However, Tianxiang had never seen such a huge hive. After all, in his mind, the hive was at most a small underground space. A hive like this, which allows two people to pass side by side at the entrance alone, is not to say that it has been seen, or even heard of it. "He made this place too." Probably seeing the confusion in Tianxiang's eyes, Liu Shunyun stepped forward and stroked the smooth hard surface of the wall, and said slowly: "He let us dig out this underground nest and use it to breed locusts. It's just that at that time, no one knew exactly what he wanted to do. ”

"Just enter the hive like this, and those locusts won't attack you?" Tianxiang was a little strange, according to his experience, the bugs would never allow any creature that was not of their own race to approach the hive. Once an outsider is detected, it will immediately attract a large number of bugs to besiege it. This is already a well-known thing for all hunters, so why does it seem so special here? "I don't know exactly why." Liu Shunyun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "However, in his words, insects are creatures that use their breath to judge their enemies. Locusts are especially felt. As long as they are accustomed to and identify with the aura of the Black Cloud Clan, they will naturally not launch any attacks on us. ”

"How is this possible?" Tianxiang involuntarily blurted out: "Everyone's internal breath is different, how can locusts use this standard to judge all of you?" If that were the case, I am afraid that there would not be so many times for locusts to attack hunters. "You're right. At the beginning, he thought so. The woman looked at him with some admiration: "However, he still uses another substance to give these locusts a basis for breathing." ”

"What is it?" Tianxiang asked.

"Water." The woman confessed.

"Water?" Tianxiang's brows furrowed slightly: "How is this possible?" What kind of water is it? "It's the daily drinking water of our people." said. The woman took out a leather bag of water from her waist and handed it over: "Take a sip and sprinkle some more on you." Then the locusts will not be hostile to you, and they will not attack you. ”

"What kind of water is this?" Tianxiang took it. I poured a mouthful, then pinched the mouth of the bag, and splashed some on my body. Handed it to the guards beside him, he asked, "How can it have such an effect." "The soil here contains a certain amount of alkaline substance, so it is partially dissolved in the groundwater source. This alkaline water is the daily drinking water of our ethnic group. It is also the only criterion that locusts use to judge friend and foe. ”

"That's exactly what happened." Tianxiang exclaimed: "It's really rare to be able to think of and take advantage of this. "Rare? Hahahaha——Hearing this, the woman let out a helpless wry smile: "Even so, once we cut off the food supply for the absolute larvae, those adults will kill all of us and feed their offspring。。。。。。 Days like this. I don't want to go on for a day. ”

Tianxiang glanced at her sympathetically, and without saying more, he raised his feet and stepped down the smooth staircase covered in wax. He knew very well that Liu Shunyun was telling the truth. If anyone stays in this environment for a long time, I'm afraid it won't be long before they will definitely go crazy. With such a strong will. I really don't know if this woman is happy or sad。。。。。。 The stairs are not long, but they look like a few tens of meters. The cave, which relied entirely on the light source from the outside, was rather dim. Many of the feet near the walls were pitch black. If it weren't for the hunter's excellent eyesight that he had exercised in the dark world, Long would have been caught blind in the ink tank at this time, and there would be no difference.

Tianxiang's strength is also very good, he can see the young worms that are still wriggling in the dark. There are so many of them, so many that it makes you want to vomit uncontrollably. It's just that now he has an inexplicable look of surprise on his face. And with that comes fear, horror, and disbelief......

The way locusts reproduce is quite familiar to Tianxiang. He has to deal with insects every day, and when he closes his eyes, he can casually talk about the habits of various insects. For locusts, a creature with delicious meat, it is even more so. It's just that he never dreamed that the "locust" in front of him would be completely different from the same kind of creatures in his memory. Locusts are an insect that has existed since ancient times. They live in groups and are oviparous. Once hatched, the larvae retain their exact appearance as adults. The only difference is the size of the volume. Of course, the color of the body surface, the hardness of the carapace, the ability to perceive the outside world, etc., will also gradually improve over time. Moreover, this insect, whose body is covered with a thick cuticle, must undergo metamorphosis every once in a while. In this way, the body continues to grow. However, the insects in front of me are clearly a different growth pattern. Although there is little light in the hive, many things are not very clear. But no matter what, Tianxiang is less than enough to hear with his eyes and ears. You can tell exactly what these disgusting bugs are doing.

Wriggling, they're wriggling. Using the slimy fluid secreted by itself, the soft body is slowly squirming against the ground. This, of course, also belongs to the way insects move. However, they should not be locusts at all. You know, in this world, there is absolutely no locust that has a fat body that can only use the strange way of the chicken in the body to stretch and move forward.

The 'green zombie silkworm' and the moth larvae will survive in this way. Locusts, however, are simply impossible. Tianxiang didn't speak, and from the pocket of his protective suit, he felt a small hemispherical object. After gently pressing the button somewhere above, suddenly. Together.... , emanating from the sphere, illuminates the surroundings of the dark cavern.

This is a portable cold light that uses batteries as an energy source. Worms, worms everywhere. Dense. It was overwhelming, filling the entire slightly dark and narrow cave to the brim. If it weren't for the fact that there was a meter-high stone platform between the crowd and the insects. Tianxiang believes that these fat-headed and fat-brained white ghost reptiles will slowly crawl down along their feet, until they reach the top of their heads, climb into their eyes, crawl into their nostrils, and crawl into their bodies。。。。。。 The inexplicable light didn't attract much attention from the swarm. They just crawl happily through the gaps in their companion's sticky bodies. Squirming his body. Navigating through seemingly impassable crevices. That tiny "bar" specialty that collides with each other eventually turns into a completely different and weird tone thanks to the combined efforts of thousands of bugs. In Tianxiang and others listened. It's as if a hard object is on the surface of the glue. A nauseous sound made after rubbing against each other. "How so?" Tianxiang's eyes were full of undisguised surprise. He turned sharply to the woman behind him and asked repeatedly, "How could this be a larva of a locust?" That's impossible. ”

"I know you won't believe it, but it's true." Liu Shunyun let out a long sigh: "When I first came here, my reaction was exactly the same as yours. Not to mention us, not even all the Black Cloud Clansmen who have come into contact with them, not a single one will believe that this is true. Because this is not the locust we know at all, but another kind of insect that has mutated and evolved to a considerable extent. "Mutation?" Tianxiang exclaimed: "You mean。。。。。。 ”

"He changed them." The woman said indifferently: "When he obtained the genes of the ancient locusts from the gene pool, he had already changed their biological habits. This gives them completely different larval morphology. The insect forms a cocoon like a moth, and after a second development, it eventually becomes an adult. ”

"How did he do that?" Tianxiang asked again and again: "Is this kind of insect human-like physical characteristics also endowed by him?" ”

"I don't know" Liu Shunyun smiled bitterly: "Although he likes me very much, to put it bluntly, even I myself am just one of his research products." How could he possibly tell me about Mimi? If you have come into contact with him, you will find that he is a man with a very careful mind. Everything you think and know, it's in his brain...... It's up to you to get him to tell the truth. ”

Tianxiang didn't speak again, just looked at the dense wriggling insects in front of him. A complex emotion of anger and disgust had filled his body. Humans can take advantage of bugs. It can also be used as food. However, changing the inherent habits of insects and using them against their own kind is obviously beyond the scope of human acceptance. What's more, these disgusting reptiles still have to be fed with human flesh。。。。。。

Tianxiang had already seen that in a slightly raised place in the insect pile, a withered black semicircular object was revealed. From the gap between the corridor and the insects, it can be seen that it is a long-dead human skull. Not only that, but all around the swarm were scattered with the yellowing bones. Based on their size and shape, it is not difficult to tell which parts of their bodies were originally on humans。。。。。。

Suddenly, from behind Tianxiang, I remembered a noisy voice. Soon, two sturdy Black Cloud Clansmen, each holding a piece of human flesh that had already stinked, walked in. I guess I saw my new leader! They hurriedly dropped the things in their hands and hurriedly saluted.

"What is this?" Tianxiang frowned, ignored the other party's movements, bent straight down, pointed to the stinky meat on the ground and asked.

"Human flesh." The sad voice of the Black Cloud Female Matriarch sounded from behind him: "This is the body of an old man in the clan after he died two days ago. Now, it's food to feed them. ”

"Don't you even have enough to eat? Why make offerings to them? "Even if we starve to death, we have to feed the worms first with the corpses of the starving people." Liu Shunyun said hatefully: "As long as one larva is starved to death, those adults who emerge out of nowhere will retaliate against the tribe。。。。。。 By now, you should be able to understand where we are, right? Tianxiang didn't speak, just looked at the two pieces of human flesh that were thrown on the ground. These are two large lumps of meat, although some of them are rotten and swollen, but they can also fill the stomachs of many people when they are hungry. Especially for such a group of people who starve to death every day, human flesh is already their only source of food. It's just that he really didn't expect that a person who was extremely hungry would have to give such food to others quite unwillingly。。。。。。
