Chapter 36 Recovery
readx;? When he arrived at the safe area, Ding Peng tilted the nest again, and the fat queen ant was shaken out again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It writhed uneasily, trying to burrow into the nest again, but Ding Peng had already taken the nest away, and the poor queen ant kept wriggling on the ground, hiding from the direct sunlight.
Ding Peng saw the opportunity, shot like lightning, pinched the queen's head with his fingers wearing deerskin gloves, lifted it up, the queen's head was pinched, and in anger continued to shoot sticky saliva from its mouthparts, but Ding Peng pinched its head so that its mouthparts were facing outward, so these saliva could only be sprayed indiscriminately, and it couldn't hurt Ding Peng at all.
When the queen's struggle slowed down a little, Ding Peng poured his spirit into his mind, summoned the system, and ordered the system to scan the things in his hand.
The system quickly responded: Unknown poison was found, did it recover for analysis?
Ding Peng responded and agreed, and the system was scanned in an instant: the poison was successfully recovered...... The analysis is complete...... Copy complete, please name.
Ding Peng looked at the image of the black ant that appeared in his mind, thought about it, and said: Pitch black star.
System Response: The naming of the unknown poison has been completed, and the earth-based poison Pitch Black Star has been added.
After the system is copied and named, this type of poison is automatically added to the exchange list and the description annotation, Ding Peng looked at it for a while, and generally had a certain understanding of the characteristics of the dark star.
When the spirit refocused on the outside world, he found that the ant queen in his hand was gone, Ding Peng picked up the empty nest, returned to the grass swamp again, and then threw the black container towards the ant colony from afar.
The ant colony loses the queen ant, it will fall into chaos temporarily, Ding Peng does not dare to get too close, so as not to have any accidents, and when the new queen is competent, the queen ant will enter the nest again and regain control of the ant colony, and this area will be the world of dark stars in the future.
After recovering the No. 1 test chamber, Ding Peng rushed to the No. 87 area, which is the number represented by the area on the map of the Qianhu Basin, and is placed here in the No. 2 test chamber.
Area 87 is a hilly area next to the high mountains to the east, where there may have been rapids or waterfalls flowing through it a long time ago, and many caves have washed out, and these natural caves are not large, and the small ones can only accommodate half of the body.
The cave where the No. 2 test chamber is located is slightly larger, as high as Ding Peng's shoulders, and the depth is longer, from the entrance of the cave to the innermost part of the cave is more than ten meters long, the most peculiar thing is that there are many small caves on the mountain wall in the cave, these are dark and deep, and I don't know where it leads.
The reason why Ding Peng fell in love with this place was because these small caves would drill out some poisons such as spiders, scorpions, geckos, etc., and judging from the specimens captured by the expedition led by Li Kun last time, these small things were highly poisonous, much more toxic than similar ones in the outside world.
After Ding Peng came to the cave, he found that it was also dead and silent, and the last time he placed the nest, there were still some scorpion geckos everywhere here, and he was happy in his heart, feeling that the No. 2 test chamber should also have results.
It is a little different from the situation of the ant colony, the No. 2 test chamber is not covered with soil, it is still well placed in place, Ding Peng first carefully kicked with his foot, all his energy is always concerned about the possible danger, after a while he found that there is no movement, he touched it tentatively, but there is still no movement, so Ding Peng held the poison repellent pill in one hand and lifted the nest with one hand.
Tilting the nest upside down, he shook it vigorously twice, and two things fell out of the hole in the bottom of the container.
A scorpion with a body of five colors, and a spider carved from the finest red jade, these two poisons look good at first glance, but unfortunately, they are dead.
Unexpectedly, it was this kind of achievement, Ding Peng took a moment, squatted down to inspect the bodies of the two poisons. There is an obvious small scar on the scorpion's body, compared with the spider's chelicera, it just fits, there is some liquid-like substance around the scar, Ding Peng thought of the spider's habits, flicked the scorpion's back shell with his fingers, and found that it was hollow inside, so the cause of the scorpion's death has been very clear, it was killed by the spider, and the spider sprayed digestive juices, completely eating the scorpion's internal organs.
But how do spiders die?
After observing for a long time, there were no scars on the spider's body, as if it had fallen asleep, and it was not dead at all, but Ding Peng was sure that it was dead, because he tried to get the system to recover the spider, but the system did not respond, which proved that the spider was not a living creature.
Just like the Xuanbing toad, the first time Ding Peng found the toad's corpse, the system did not react, and later after catching the live toad, the system prompted that an unknown poison had been found, which could be recovered and copied.
Since the spider is dead, there must be a cause of death, Ding Peng didn't believe that it was just at the end of his life, and repeatedly observed for a long time, suddenly, Ding Peng found that one of the eight single eyes at the front of the spider was not black like the other seven, and there were some colorful colors in this single eye, which was very similar to the color of the scorpion's body.
Could it be that he died of indigestion and poisoning?
Ding Peng could only guess like this, and even tried to restore what happened: first, the scorpion defeated the surrounding opponents and successfully occupied the nest, perhaps just when it relaxed its vigilance and was about to breed offspring, the spider somehow also entered the nest and killed the scorpion. It's a pity that although the spider devoured the scorpion, the scorpion's poison was very powerful, and in the end, it also killed the spider, and the two highly poisonous things died together. The other creatures may have already taken refuge in the distance because they were afraid of these two domineering poisons, so there was a dead silence in the cave, and no other creatures existed.
Regardless of whether this is the case or not, all in all, the No. 2 test chamber failed.
Ding Peng patted the container, hesitating whether to continue to put the nest here, or to change the place for him to experiment again, and suddenly his heart moved, thinking of an excellent place.
Since Li Kun left, Ding Peng has lost a right-hand man, some chores keep him busy all day long, and the most important thing is that without Li Kun to help supervise those people, Ding Peng will not dare to let go of his hands to do some important things.
Originally, Ding Peng was going to let Li Kun take a few people to build a checkpoint in the canyon and defend it, one is to defend externally, and the other is to prevent people from escaping, but unfortunately Li Kun was sent by him to do more important things at present, so this plan has been delayed again and again.
But this is not a matter after all, Ding Peng knows that there is a big loophole in this, and his current means of controlling these people is to trick them into being poisoned, but people's thoughts are very strange, sometimes they don't know what they will do in the next second, especially people with extreme and impulsive personalities, in case someone can't think about it, suddenly his brain twitches, and he escapes, and it will not be easy for Ding Peng to arrest him again.
What's worse is that as long as one person escapes, the secrets of the Thousand Lakes Basin may be exposed.
So these days, Ding Peng will not go out easily if there is no need, and he has formulated a joint sitting policy for the four groups, so that they can supervise and monitor each other, and there are joint sits within the same group, and each group also supervises each other, as long as one person has an accident, others will also be affected.
There may be impulsive and radical people, but more people are still rational and normal, and people will be afraid of death and spare their lives, so that people will keep an eye on people and supervise each other, which can prevent people from doing impulsive and risky things to a certain extent.
Moreover, Ding Peng will also do some ideological work on some people in private, such as verbal co-optation, division and disintegration, etc., one is to appease people's hearts, and the other is to avoid his subordinates from forming one, so it seems that each time it has little effect, but over time, the effect is still good.
However, all of the above is an expedient measure after all, and the best way to completely eliminate the possibility of their escape is to block the only way out of the Sky Canyon.
The place where Ding Peng thought of the No. 2 test chamber before was the canyon.
The selected poison has also been thought of, you can catch a dark star queen, and then place the nest in a line of heavenly canyons, according to the terrifying reproduction rate of the ant colony, in a few days, it will become the territory of the dark star, whether it is a human or a beast, if there is no restraint means, there is only one end for rash passage: there is nothing left to be eaten by the ant colony.
There is absolutely no scum, Ding Peng thought that many of the tiny creatures that used to inhabit the grass swamp had disappeared, they should not have escaped, but were eaten up by the ant colony, and there was not even a trace of the corpse.
As for what to do when Li Kun comes back, don't worry about this, when he left this time, Ding Peng had already considered that he might encounter poison on the road, so he gave him two poison-repelling pills. Tomorrow, let Shi Jian carve a stone tablet, write a warning and reminder on it, and erect it on the periphery of the canyon, and Li Kun can naturally see the stone tablet when he comes back.
Thinking of countermeasures in his heart, Ding Peng carried the No. 2 test chamber and rushed to the No. 28 area.
Not far from Lake Spiegel, Area 28 includes a meadow, a small wild forest, a lake and surrounding wetlands.
Test chamber No. 3 is located in the lake area, which should be the bottom of the lake near the shore to be precise.
The lake is a freshwater lake, the water is very clear, and the nest No. 3 at the bottom of the lake can be vaguely seen on the shore. The last time he placed the nest, Ding Peng was worried that it would be washed away by the water, so he not only piled some stones around the nest, but also pressed a large stone weighing hundreds of catties above the nest.
At this time, through the surface of the water, you can see that the nest is still in the same place, and it seems that there is no change in the lake, just like last time, the lake water is clear, and whenever the breeze blows, the water surface ripples.
Ding Peng found something strange, remembering that last time there were a lot of fish in this lake, even in the place where they were on the shore, there were many small fish swimming freely, but at this moment, the lake was quiet, Ding Peng looked at it for a long time, and he couldn't see a single fish.
Suddenly, Ding Peng's eyes shrank, and he found that there was a trace of ripples in the water that could hardly be found without looking closely, and the ripples swung and then disappeared without a trace.
Could it be that the fish just swam through the ripples?
But Ding Peng was sure that he didn't see anything at all, could it be that he was dazzled?
Ding Peng had to continue to observe patiently, and after a long time, suddenly, his eyes moved, staring at a place, and sure enough, there was a slight ripple in that place, this ripple is not much bigger than the ripples stirred up by the breeze on the water, and it can't be found at all if you don't look closely, but it's useless to look closely, Ding Peng stared at the ripple for a long time, and still didn't find anything underwater.
Ding Peng didn't believe in evil, and continued to search for ripples, and finally, he found another place very closely, he hurriedly gathered all his energy, stared at the ripples and did not relax, the ripples moved, and instantly moved to another position, but this could not escape Ding Peng's eyes, the ripples continued to transform, and finally Ding Peng found it strange.
"Come out!" Ding Peng saw the opportunity, picked up a branch on the shore and swept it on the water, his strength was very clever, just swept a splash to the shore, the transparent splash was weirdly twisted into various shapes in mid-air, but he was not stressed at all in the air, so he could only helplessly follow the strength of Ding Peng's branch and fall on the grass on the shore.
As soon as the water splash landed, it turned into countless water droplets, but there was a splash that did not fall to pieces, but rolled a few times on the grass, and then turned into a long transparent water splash, and fled rapidly in the grass, but unfortunately these grasses are not those weeds that are more than one person tall in the grass swamp, but very low, not much higher than the lawn of the football field, so its trajectory is completely in the grasp of Ding Peng, Ding Peng quickly chased closer, the water splash felt the danger, suddenly twisted, and disappeared immediately.
Ding Peng was taken aback, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, there was indeed no trace of strange splashes within the range of sight, it was really evil, could it be that this thing would teleport or escape from the sky? How could it disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye in an open area?
Ding Peng suddenly thought of something in his heart, walked quickly to the place where the splash disappeared, and observed carefully, this is an ordinary grass, except that it seems to be thicker, there is nothing strange about it, and there is no suspicious mouse hole or something, how can that thing fly out of thin air?
Ding Peng's eyes froze, and he stared at the grass that looked relatively thick, this place was not much bigger than an adult's palm, and it looked no different from other places, the only thing was that it was slightly taller and thicker than the surroundings.
Ding Peng stared at the place tightly, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he casually walked a few steps to the side, and suddenly stretched out his feet like lightning and stepped there.
The ordinary grass suddenly twisted and turned into a long strip again, trying to escape quickly, but unfortunately Ding Peng had already calculated its path, and stepped on the middle of its body with one foot, and immediately stepped on it in two.
Two long strips of strange things, frantically struggling and writhing on the grass, Ding Peng hurriedly stepped aside, watching them beat the grass into a splash of dirt, after a long time, the strange thing finally ran out of vitality, slowly stopped struggling, and finally collapsed on the ground silently.
At the same time, its color began to change, originally like a meadow, with the black of the earth, and the green of the grass, coiled together almost exactly like the grass, but after death, these colors slowly degraded and became a transparent thing.
Ding Peng looked at it carefully, this thing had the body of a snake, but it was not the same as a terrestrial snake, but it looked like a water snake.
Its whole body is completely transparent, and even its eyes are almost transparent grayish-white, which should be its true color, and as for turning into the color of grass, it should be a mimicry ability.
Ding Peng returned to the shore and looked at the clear lake water, with the previous experience, he observed carefully, and could see ripples swimming in the water from time to time, these should be that kind of things, Ding Peng thought that there was no danger in the water before, and wanted to go into the water to get the nest, and couldn't help but be a little afraid.
It seems that these things have completely taken over the lake, and Test Chamber 3 should be considered a success.
Ding Peng secretly guessed in his heart that these things were probably the products of mutation after ordinary water snakes entered the nest, and they had the ability to mimic and change the color of their bodies at will according to the environment, but they didn't know how poisonous this color-changing snake was.
If you can't go into the water, you can't take out the nest, fortunately, Ding Peng has been prepared, the last time he placed the nest, he had already put a hook lock on the container, and now only a longer thing can pull the hook lock to pull the nest out.
Ding Peng ran to the woods in the distance, found a suitable thick branch, cut it with his palm, and after removing the branches and leaves, he took it to the shore.
There was a slightly curved branch in front of the branch, Ding Peng took the branch to hook the hook lock, and slowly pulled it with skill, first pulling the nest out of the surrounding stones, and then shaking constantly, shaking off the stones pressed on it, and finally pulling hard, the nest dehydrated and flew out.
The black container fell on the grass and bounced twice, Ding Peng poked it with a branch, and found that there was no movement, so he put on deerskin gloves and tilted the nest up, allowing the contents to pour out.
A bunch of things fell out, the largest of which was a long, bloated, transparent snake that bent its body and didn't move, rolling around it with hundreds of eggs, some of which had burst in the previous tremors, and the juice flowed out of them.
Ding Peng flipped the snake's body with a branch, but there was still no response, Ding Peng didn't think that the previous fall could kill it, could this snake fake death?
Whatever it is, try it with the system first, and the system responds: Unknown poison was found, is it recovered for analysis?
It proves that it is alive, but this snake is lazy enough, it is all dead, and it is still motionless, does it really think that it can escape by pretending to be dead?
Ding Peng finally chose to let the system recycle, he didn't bother to think about the name, it was called the chameleon snake, after the system recycled and copied, Ding Peng read the description of this thing, and finally understood what was going on.
It turns out that when the snake lays eggs and reproduces, it will fall into a deep sleep that can never wake up, and even the food needs to be fed to it by other baby snakes, and this state lasts until it dies or for some special reason causes it to be unable to lay eggs and reproduce, and only then will it wake up.
Therefore, Ding Peng didn't need to say that he just fell so much, even if he chopped it into a few knots, it wouldn't wake up.
Although this snake king is the core of a clan, it is really sad, Ding Peng looked at the snake eggs all over the ground, and sighed inexplicably.
He collected the snake eggs and prepared to bring them back to the base to stew some snake egg soup to drink, these snake eggs are difficult to hatch without the snake king to incubate, and the new snake king will not accept these outsiders.
As for the No. 3 test chamber, Ding Peng put it into the lake again, this kind of chameleon snake can only live in the water, let them survive here first, and then use them when they have a good idea.
However, when you go back, you should be reminded that this lake and grassy swamp are extremely dangerous places, and no one is allowed to enter the surrounding area.
The only regret is that although the No. 2 test chamber was not successful, it helped Ding Peng think of a good way to solve the thorny problem, and it can be regarded as a meritorious achievement, Ding Peng is very satisfied with today's harvest.
Returning to the base with joy, Ding Peng immediately heard a bad thing, which made his joy suddenly disappear.
