Chapter 14: The Growth of the Waterfly Beasts, Eighty Thousand Waterfly Beasts!

readx;

To the north of the burial bay, Gong Zhen sat outside the camp tent set up by the sergeant, his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction of the burial bay, and his right hand dragged the saber on the ground in front of his feet. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Huanrong has been following Gong Zhen for two years, and he knows that Gong Zhen is actually very restless at this time, and the saber that keeps sliding is actually using the movement of his wrist to relieve the restlessness in his heart.

"Captain, would you like something to eat?"

Phew!

The saber stood fiercely on the ground, Gong Zhen's expression was fierce, like a vicious leopard that had been hungry for a few days, and he glared at the sergeant who spoke, and he was so frightened that he was shocked.

"Eat your mother's fart, get out of the way!"

The sergeant was nervous, nodded and grabbed the cake in his hand and left Gong Zhen's sight tremblingly.

Huan Rong sighed and turned his head to look in the direction of Huang Liu, but he was sitting among the sergeants, whispering to them, without looking back at all, and I don't know if he really didn't notice Gong Zhen's situation.

Shaking his head secretly, Huan Rong walked to Gong Zhen's side and sat down as well: "Why is the captain so anxious? Is it because of the matter of the burial bay?"

"Nonsense!" Gong Zhen grabbed the sheathed saber and slashed it to the ground, and with a pop, it directly sank into half of the blade: "There are enough waterflies and beasts, and that guy made such a show yesterday, and he was actually letting them lay eggs collectively, isn't it crazy?"

Different from spotted insects, waterfly beasts do not need to reach the second level of physical strength to lay eggs, only if they eat enough food, each one can lay nearly 100 fly eggs each time, and these fly eggs can hatch in just a few hours, and after becoming a young beast, they will grow rapidly in the next few hours, and they can grow to the size of adults in half a day.

Yesterday, the corpses of more than 300 beasts were sent to the tributary, which directly made all the water fly beasts meet the conditions for laying eggs, and the river surface of the tributary was full of their dense white fly eggs at this time, and Gong Zhen could even hear the sound of those fly eggs breaking one after another, burrowing out the larvae of the water fly beasts.

There are more than 1,200 waterfly beasts, each giving birth to a hundred fly eggs, even if only half of them can be successfully hatched, by noon, the number of this waterfly herd can at least swell to 60,000!

60,000 waterfly beasts, this number makes Gong Zhen's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

When there were more than 1,000 of them before, the three hundred or so of them didn't dare to attack head-on, if they waited until all the fly eggs hatched, Gong Zhen really couldn't think of any way to talk about the burial bay to recover again.

At that time, even if it was the entire Zuo Sige army, no! Even if the 3,000 troops who recovered Xinfan came this time, I am afraid that it would be useless!

"What did this guy say about recovering the burial bay in two days, it's really a shame that Lao Tzu made this bet with him. Now, there are so many eggs waiting to hatch, and he even asks us not to attack while the eggs are being laid?"

Gong Zhen stood up suddenly, the depressed aura in his heart was thick but could not emanate, he pulled out the saber from the soil and slashed again, and a tree with the waist thickness of an adult strong man beside him was split and fell to the ground in response.

The loud bang made the sergeants look over, and only Huang Liuran bowed his head and ate the military rations.

"Look at it! look at your mother's ass!" Gong Zhen scolded, turned his head and looked in the southern direction of the burial bay again: "Phantom flowers, phantom flowers...... After collecting for a long time, the fuck thinks we are flower farmers? Could it be that he still thinks he can use these pollen to kill all the water flies?"

Huan Rong looked at the impatient Gong Zhen, couldn't help but stand up, and said in a low voice: "Captain, it's better for us to simply ignore Qiao Ximing and them, and attack them immediately before the fly eggs hatch......

"No!"

A hint of hideousness flashed on Gong Zhen's vicious expression: "Since it was a gamble he proposed, if it didn't work out in the end, we could have put all the blame on him, and there was no need to take this risk now." Hmph! At that time, I want to see what else this guy Qiao Ximing can say!"

Huanrong's eyes flashed, nodded in response, and stopped talking.

Behind them, Huang Liu, who had been keeping his head down, had a banter in his eyes at this time.

The strategy is already so obvious, this guy is still talking nonsense, really...... Ignorant!

......

In contrast, the situation of the Fifth Army south of Burial Bay was much more stable.

Not only is it the prestige that Qiao Ximing has built up in the past few months, but the expression of the deputy lieutenant Guo Yu is also very stable, and the calm of the two commanders is like a tranquilizer, making everyone wait quietly.

The 'song' produced by the spawning resonance in the middle of the night woke Guo Yu up, but it finally made him begin to understand Qiao Ximing's plan, and under the clever plan in his heart, the whole person relaxed, and he didn't look worried at all.

There was another person who was as calm as them, and that was one of the sergeants who had crossed the river with Qiao Ximing before, Zheng Xi.

This young sergeant, even before Guo Yu and before Huang Liu, knew about Qiao Ximing's plan, and that look of expectation also inspired the sergeant beside him, although he didn't open his mouth to explain, but it also made others feel a wonderful feeling.

Everything in Burial Bay is under Qiao Ximing's control!

However, Qiao Ximing was a little interested in Zheng Xi, and the young sergeant's cleverness attracted his attention and made him see more potential.

"Tianwen's luck is really strong, and there are really a lot of talents among these sergeants. Qiao Ximing muttered to himself, and his voice could only be heard by Xue Yiwu beside him.

With a faint smile, Xue Yiwu sat quietly and did not speak, and in those green eyes, there was a faint whiteness, which reflected a strange beauty, but because she lowered her head, she was not noticed by Qiao Ximing.

However, in the swaddling clothes, Xiao Qian's thin eyelashes trembled twice, and they were faintly noticeable.

......

The scorching sun was already high in the sky, and under the scorching heat, the situation in the burial bay was also very restless.

More than 1,000 water flies and beasts stood by the river, and hundreds of thousands of fly eggs covered the entire tributary.

Every minute, dozens or hundreds of palm-sized waterfly larvae break through the white eggs, crawl out of them and float to the surface, and then absorb the river water in the tributaries, and begin to digest the energy injected by the mother in the body, and the body slowly expands.

It wasn't until noon that the speed of the shattering of countless fly eggs slowed down, and there were still tens of thousands of white intact fly eggs on the surface of the river that had not hatched, but some dark lines flashed on the surface, as if the larvae in it were not enough to complete the process of breaking the egg wall.

It has been nearly six hours since the water fly beast laid eggs, these fly eggs that have not yet hatched, in fact, the larvae in the middle have died, they can not struggle out of the first step of life, the black lines on the surface of the white eggs are more and more obvious, when occupying half of the area, the density of the fly eggs seems to have changed, can no longer float on the surface of the water, but directly sinks.

Under the surface of the water, these dead eggs continued to turn black, sinking to the bottom of the river, and after a while, the whole egg turned black, and then it seemed that they could not withstand the strong pressure of the bottom of the river, and they burst open with a poof, scattering into a black substance that spread into the water, quickly melted, and then disappeared completely.

In fact, the final burst of these dead eggs is to turn all the energy in the body into matter and feed back into the river water, and if they cannot hatch successfully, they simply turn into nutrients and integrate into the river water to meet the growth of those newborn larvae, and use their death in exchange for the strength of the population.

This is the way for the herd to survive and grow!

However, the food of the previous day was too sufficient, more than 300 medium-sized and medium-sized beast corpses, when all the waterfly beasts were full, there were still dozens left, which caused the quality of the eggs of the waterfly group to be very high, the hatching rate was as high as 70%, and more than 80,000 fly eggs broke before noon, crawling out of the waterfly larvae.

This also means that this group of water flies in Burial Bay has more than 80,000 individuals overnight, which is simply terrifying!

After the eggs hatched, the first batch of water flies were no longer guarded, and they danced their wings and began to scatter around, in order to advance, for the next egg-laying, and began to look for new food to accumulate energy.

The newly-born more than 80,000 water fly larvae were still floating on the surface of the water, constantly drawing river water, absorbing the life force from the dead compatriots, as well as the body fluids that gradually decomposed and overflowed from the corpse of the beast, and the body gradually expanded, from the size of a palm, to the size of an adult.

The sound on the tributaries gradually became monotonous, leaving only the sound of countless mouthparts sucking water, and the trickling sounds overlapped, which made people feel panicked.

But there are no living people in the burial bay, and the only ones who can occasionally hear this sound are the original batch of water flies that are gradually moving away.

They quickly scattered around, and more than 80,000 young beasts not only represented the growth of the population, but also represented their need for more food.

And then......

Buzzing!

The dozens of the fastest waterflies seemed to have encountered something disgusting, suddenly braked, stopped their forward momentum, and then quickly retreated, exuding a deep disgust from them.

What they encountered was nothing else, it was the phantom pollen that Qiao Ximing had ordered the Third Army and the Fifth Army to collect and grind and sprinkle the day before!

Since the previous day, seven or eight times of throwing, so that the circle of pollen on the periphery of the burial bay was extremely thick, and even the air was mixed with visible particles, which emitted an extremely clear fragrance, like an invisible wall, enclosing the entire burial bay, once a water fly beast tried to fly to the periphery, it would crash into it, and then quickly leave with extreme disgust.

More than a thousand waterfly beasts repeated the situation encountered by the last group of waterfly beasts yesterday, the disgust that came from the depths of their blood, making them like prisoners, trapped in a cage formed by phantom pollen.

As a result, they can only search for the little food left in the prison, and then wait for dusk and wait for their homecoming.

......

The waiting time always passed very slowly, which made Gong Zhen feel that he could be so patient.

"Huang Liu, have you already sent someone to the river for the last batch of phantom pollen?" he asked in a rough voice, his voice lacking the impatience of the morning.

Huang Liu lowered his head and replied: "I've already gone, and when the time comes, I'll sprinkle it all!"

Gong Zhen nodded, took a deep breath, and felt that his whole personality had been sublimated in this half-day wait.

Stompe!

Five people suddenly walked over from the southwest side of the camp, and Gong Zhen looked up to see that they were wearing the armor of the Zuo Sige Army, but they were not sergeants of the Third Army.

"It's the people of the Fifth Army. Huanrong suddenly spoke.

Gong Zhen narrowed his eyes, let the five people walk forward, and asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter with Captain Qiao?"

The man standing at the front looked up at Gong Zhen, but it was Zheng Xi, who smiled and arched his hand at Gong Zhen at this time and said, "The captain asked me to wait to come and pass the word so that the Fifth Army can get ready." ”

"What preparation?"

Zheng Xi glanced at the burial bay: "When the time comes, attack the burial bay!"
