After more than an hour, the area around the female worm was already bustling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Forty-one males came to the open field one after another, waiting for him.

Males vary in size. The largest ones can be seven or eight meters long, and they are very burly. The youngest was just an adult, only half the size of the former. But the moment you see the female insect, no matter how big or small, there is no one who is not restless. Many males are no longer able to control their hormones when they arrive, and try to occupy the closest position to the female by constantly crowding out other males.

The first stage of the mating ritual kicks off in their scramble.

After some fighting, the circle around the female insect has been occupied by the five largest male insects. They wait eagerly, waiting for the female to respond. Behind them, the losers stare at their backs with jealousy. But whenever these guys tried to pounce forward, the leader male would not hesitate to turn back and intimidate them.

The way the male scolds is very special.

When the mood is intense, more than a dozen pairs of pointy feet under their abdomen will slash together. Snow and dust fell, and another disturbing sound was heard.

Other males perceive this information through the vibrations of the ground. They tend to be the quietest at the moment when the male of the leader is most vigorous, and will retreat constantly, although they will soon relapse.

There is such a small episode.

In a corner to the west of the female, when the male worm, the leader there, issued a warning, a male insect much smaller than it was faint, and he actually approached the female. This move undoubtedly angered the male insects that occupied the place. The sharp foot under its belly stopped, and its whole body slammed into the unknown boy. The huge force directly knocked the latter into the air and hit an old tree before stopping. The weak male can be shot away at a distance of twenty meters.

This loser, although he has only recently reached adulthood, is more than five meters long and weighs half a ton. One can imagine how powerful the boss male insect who knocks it out can be.

Equally frightening was that it hit a tree and fell to the ground, only to shake its body for a while and then get up again. After a second or two, he advanced towards the female insect again, only this time he didn't dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step. The strength of the physique can also be seen in general.

In fact, the armor of an adult Earth Helmet is stronger than three times the thickness of steel. In addition, they come with two natural spells, "Ice Helmet" and "Counter Magic". In a state of complete defense, they can withstand even the bombardment of tens of kilograms of explosives. Among creatures of the same size, the defense is second to none.

After another half hour, the female worm finally stopped eating. It twisted and looked around with the strange infrared eyes on its head. The male insects around him have long stopped fighting, waiting for his luck.

Over the course of more than two hours, the number of males here reached a staggering forty-nine. So many males, in the fierce battle for positions, finally won the four winners. These four males, each of which is more than eight meters long, orbit the female and occupy four directions: east, south, west, and north. The other males did not dare to approach them at will, so much so that they left a gap three or four meters wide between them.

The females also feel very good about them.

The moment it stopped eating, its abdomen swelled and contracted, and a pure white egg mass was expelled from the genital hole of its tail. The eggs were of variable shape, about the size of a bucket of water, and looked somewhat like foam-filled ice floes. But one of the biggest characteristics of each other is that there must be a concave surface and a hole of no small size.

This is where the male worm is used to drain sperm.

As soon as the egg masses were exposed to the air, white gas kept emitting from their surfaces, apparently leaving the residual warmth of the female.

The female lays four egg masses in a row.

Every time one is discharged, there is a lot of commotion in the male swarm.

However, under the suppression of the four leaders, the riot quickly subsided. In the face of the constant noise of the leader's belly and feet, the losers are like lost dogs, without any will to resist.

After receiving the approval of the female, the leader worms carefully took their own egg mass. They hold these ice-floe things with their big jaws, as if they were precious treasures. In front of the female insects, these leader insects did not dare to make mistakes. Compared to other males, they are very powerful, but if they really have to compete with the females who are several times older, they are simply killing themselves.

After getting the egg mass, the leader worm moves to the side of the clearing. First place the egg mass on the soft snow, then twist the hypertrophied body, and align the raw ~ colonization organ under the abdomen with the hole, and there is a hiatus.

The other males saw that the females continued to gnaw on the pine needles, and they became uninterested in them, and became impatient one by one. I don't know who got their heads, they all started to shake their bodies and vomit wildly.

At first, all that is spit out is the half-digested food stored in the stomach. But then, a pale yellow liquid splattered out, viscous like honey. And very bizarre, exuding an inexplicable fragrance. As soon as the liquid comes into contact with the air, it quickly cools and solidifies, enveloping the vomit underneath in a circle and turning it into an amber-like solid.

This substance, known as the "magic fluid of the earth helmet", is the key to these males absorbing the ovulation of the females. They are also a cherished arcane material for humans, as they contain a variety of energy substances. It is also their preciousness that makes it possible for females to accept bribes and give them the opportunity to reproduce.

The magic liquid is the key to the second round of selection of female insects, and the number of them directly determines whether the secretor can obtain the right to mate. But secreting this magic fluid is a terrible load for the male. How much they excrete depends on whether they think it is worth it, which naturally depends on who they are after.

The female insect that appeared in front of them this time was quite unusual, and its huge body was far superior to that of its kind. For them, it can be equivalent to a beauty like Shih Tzu sable. So much so that they all worked hard, and they couldn't wait to vomit out their hearts and livers. Even, those mating leader worms, joined this army. Going into the second round, they don't have too many privileges. Whether or not it can be recognized or not is determined by the amount of magic liquid. Normally, these males don't do this. Secreting too much liquid is not good for them. But this time the object was so fascinating that they wanted a second time after having it once.

Levi, who had observed all this through a telescope, really wanted to laugh three times. Some of the magic crystals secreted by the male insects can even be seen through the lens barrel by him at a glance. The size is huge, you can imagine.

Looking at the hard work of each of them, he decided that he must not fail their efforts.

"It's done, this harvest is ......"
