As it was nearly dawn, the hoe-footed toads departed one after another, and only a few failed blind dates lingered.

The cave was still pitch black.

In addition to the sound of the heartbeat, there was another march pace, and Tinny felt something slowly moving, and suddenly, they quickened their pace, as if resonating with what happened in the cave, and the whole cave shook.

When the shaking stopped, there was a sudden silence all around, and time seemed to stop silent.

I don't know how long it took, but before dawn broke, the first yellow-green light was lit from the center of the spring, and when the stalactites above the head were extinguished, the stalactites were replaced by stalagmites below, and the light soon spread throughout the water.

"What is this?" is a glowing aquatic species?

Before Tinny could get an answer, she heard the sound of chewing food coming from the water.

"They're eating the eggs of the toad?" Ting Ni stood up and took a step forward to jump down, feeling that something was wrong, but when she turned around, she saw the human children watching the magnificent morning feast intently, "What's so beautiful? Isn't that the beast you hold dear?

"I don't care about my companions, what are you doing?" she said indifferently, and her face was full of rigor that could not be missed.

"They are not theirs, and frogs are not supposed to take care of their offspring. "He's a little bit poor and nervous.

"I don't have that kind of responsibility. Yue plucked her ears and scratched her scalp, and the more nervous she was, the more she felt itchy all over her body, "What's wrong?

Sling the bull.

Yue lowered her head and continued to stare at the water for a while, before she said faintly: "Guarding from afar, not interfering, not interfering is also a way of love." You have to know how to let go, old father. ”

Old father?

"Besides, this is their world. ”

"I believe we are one. ”

"Closely related, but also separate and separate individuals. Isn't Your Highness also anxious to draw a line with me?"

What's wrong with drawing a line with humans? They are two worlds in the first place.

"That's you, Your Highness has been calling for something, what are you trying to imply?"

"What's wrong with my name? You are indeed His Royal Highness the Prince of Ten Thousand Years. She smiled, a very relaxed smile that she couldn't describe for a long time, "Do you think I don't know? ”

Ting Ni frowned.

"You are indeed a human child. ”

The two stared at each other for a moment.

"Let's wrap this up. "Yue surrendered first.

Win?

Tingni suddenly felt amused by her childishness, and asked, "Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Well!

"Wait a minute, the stranded hoe-footed toads will eat the Rook cockroaches that are reporting for food. ”

Rook cockroaches? Are they glowing bugs? They're cockroaches, they're glowing?

"It is said that the only specimen was collected by scientists in 1939 on the slopes of the Tungurava volcano in Ecuador, and the site was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in December 2010. "Of course, the size of the Rook Light Cockroach in the Human Realm is not as big as that of the Demon Realm.

There are many in the Demon Realm, hundreds or thousands of them here, and the surface of the water darkens when the tongue of the hoe-footed toad is plucked, but the successors continue to rise from the bottom of the water.

"The Rook cockroach itself does not emit light, it glows with bacteria embedded in its exoskeleton. ”

It's boring, it seems that in order to cater to the interest of human children, Tingni casually said a few words.

"Why do cockroaches glow and provoke other predators?"

The human child's expression jumped with joy.

"Do you know? This kind of cockroach mostly lives with firefly percussion beetles, which are very poisonous and emitting light, and ordinary insects dare not provoke them. The cockroach officially uses this to 'mimimic', coexisting with the firefly knock armor to preserve itself. ”

So she's targeting those fireflies.

Tinny looked suspiciously at the Rook Cockroach, which was about to be eaten every minute, and the predator launched a fierce battle, sparks and splashes.

"That's it—" Yue pointed to a brown bug in the water.

When the light on the surface of the water begins to dim, the sparseness can be seen as the insects walking, and if you look closely, you can see two kinds of light and insects of different sizes.

The most obvious difference is that one is glowing all over the body, and the other is that two points that resemble an eye are glowing.

"Catch the guy in the middle with glowing eyes!" Yue shouted, pointing downward.

Tingni was stunned, what was in the center, and there were a lot of glows in her eyes, mixed in the Rook cockroach, her eyes were dizzy, and she couldn't figure out which one she was talking about.

"Which one?"

Honestly, it's the size of a slap, and a sting is deadly.

They're going to sting, right?

Seeing Tingni's many questions, he hesitated, and Yue was in a hurry, jumping down.

"Hey—"

I've died once, and it's still so messy.

Ting Ni took off her clothes and was about to jump down when she heard a terrible scream.

"What's wrong?" Ting Ni shouted down, only to see Yue jump out of the water, holding one of the stalagmites.

"It's so cold, it's so painful!"

Of course, the water of this underground spring is terrifyingly cold, and the piercing pain is not indescribable from the cold, didn't she know it when she just fell?

Don't know?

As soon as Tingni hit the water, she jumped from stalagmite to his shoulder like she had touched driftwood.

"Which one?" he listened impatiently as her teeth chattered.

Where, that......

"It's running away!"

Originally, he was dazzled by the fluorescent flashes around him, and it was even more difficult to distinguish between the Rook Light Cockroach and the Firefly Knock Armor, but the little guy was about to run away, and unlike those insects that pounced on him when they saw the witch, the guy crawled in the opposite direction, making people find out at once.

Tingni grabbed its back and lifted it, and Hotaru struggled desperately, and even turned his head to bite him, Yue immediately grabbed it.

And as soon as the firefly knock armor fell into the hands of human children, it became tame.

Climbing ashore, the frog and the little hoe-footed toad hurriedly picked up the dry branches, and the adult hoe-footed toad who was about to leave turned around and was about to come up, but was a little lonely by Yue's refusal.

Now she was soaking wet, shivering, and insensitive to the same cold skin.

"What kind of commission is this?" he said, taking her down.

"Go, go, go, don't meddle. ”

The speed of this river crossing is no one.

"Don't be stunned, I'm dying of cold. Hurry up and build a fire!"

It was dawn, the warm sunlight shone in, and Yue fell asleep holding the firefly knocking armor.

Sleeping comfortably, she wants to stay here for the rest of her life?

Enjoying the order of the cave, the noise before the sun went down last night was like a dream, Tingni looked at the groundwater that was crystal clear in the sun, there should not be many eggs missed, and the reproduction of hoe-footed toads can be described as a mess.

"No, that's it. Yue was nibbling on the barbecue on Tingni's back and drinking spring water.

The cave of stalactites is a great place for couples to have a tryst, because there is not enough food, but it is not a suitable place to conceive a baby, and the eggs laid by the hoe-footed toad must be transported to other places through the groundwater to grow, and a smooth exit from here is the beginning of the journey.

One relies on abundant spring water to cross the mouth, but the rainy season here is very short, so the hoe-footed toad finds another way out for its offspring.

The toad that holds the right one sends a signal at the entrance of the hole, wakes up the fungus mosquitoes in the hole, uses the light of the firefly mosquitoes to attract nearby insects, and then the mosquitoes eat the insects, the hoe-footed toad lays eggs, the Rook cockroach and the firefly knock beetle temporarily extinguish the fluorescence in the body and smell the wind in the insects, they dive into the water to eat the eggs, the hoe-footed toad eats the Luke cockroach and the firefly knock beetle, the underground spring overflows because of their occupation and struggle, the predatory splash pushes the waves to send the offspring of the hoe-footed toad out of the spring, I don't know where they will end up, but for the time being it is safer than in the cave。

Hoefoot toads that eat toxin-producing firefly beetles can also provide raw materials for their gland's venom.

Life is so interlocking and endless.

"Didn't the Hotaru Knock Armor you caught escape?"

"It's the Colorful Firefly Knock Armor, the oldest of them. If you live for so long, you will become a sperm a long time ago, and it will not be eaten. ”

Yue hugged the firefly knock armor to the Thunder Ni mask, which, except for a few more light stripes on his body, he couldn't see any difference.

The hoe-footed toad will be tempted to eat the long-amassed firefly percussion armor.

It lived with the Rook cockroach for a long time, and was finally infected by the glowing bacteria on the cockroach, and there were a few more fluorescent bands on its body. The Firefly Knock Armor itself can control the brightness of the fluorescence on its body, and in turn prey to evade predators by posing as a Rook Light Cockroach.

The client has a colorful firefly knock armor in his hand, in that other world, the firefly knock armor is a species that is about to face extinction, that is the last one in that world, it has been living alone as a worm for a long, long time, so I hope to see my companion in my lifetime, maybe I can talk about a once-in-a-lifetime love.

"It's such a blessing to meet here. Yue sighed happily.

It turned out to be such a boring reason, she didn't even want her life, and she was happy to be like this.

"Are you sure that the one you just caught is of a different gender from the one in the client's hands?"

Boom!

Yue's brain short-circuited, and then he smiled.

"It doesn't matter, it's a lot older to have a few fluorescent rays, and it's impossible to reproduce offspring, they just have to spend their last days nestling up to each other. ”

"Isn't it good to spend your old age here with your companions? you can still eat deliciously, this firefly knock armor is really pitiful, you are cruel enough, this commission will be over in a little longer, and you will take another life." ”

Uh, Yue clutched her chest, and was uneasy.

Ting Ni glanced at her back - her conscience was disturbed.

"I hate it!" Yue slapped him on the back, "It's fate to believe that you will be chosen." ”

Just break it!
