Chapter 15: "Eating Clouds" (Thanks for Recommendation and Comment O(∩_∩)O)
"I didn't expect that there are so many insects living in the lives of ordinary people in this world...", Xue Song looked at the records of the hunting house in his hand, and sighed, Tianbian grass, rainbow insects, water Gu...
There are many harmless insects that live around humans all the time, like bacteria, and most of them do not intersect with ordinary people.
But with the development of human beings, the mountains and jungles have been destroyed, the living environment of insects has been continuously compressed, and ordinary people will often encounter strange things caused by insects.
"So what do you think of worms, Mr. Xue?" The faint light on the side asked, Xue Song lived here temporarily, he wanted to see more information that had been passed down, and understand the composition of the world from the records of his ancestors.
"I still agree with Yingu's approach, being able to make insects and people coexist harmoniously should be the first thing insect masters should do, and they can control and eliminate it when they encounter great harm, but it shouldn't be because they are afraid of these alien things, thinking that they should be wiped out.
They have existed in the world for hundreds of millions of years, formed in the earliest stages of life forms, and humans have no right to decide their survival, because humans have never been the masters of the world..."
Xue Song shook his head, in fact, this kind of question is meaningless, insects are a member of the ecosystem, and it is okay for humans to exterminate them, and it is really a fool's dream to challenge nature.
However, from the standpoint of human beings, there is nothing wrong with wanting to grow the population, and it is understandable to eliminate harmful insects, but what makes Xue Song puzzled is that all the records only record how to kill insects.
People in this world don't seem to have any sustainable development ideas, and since insects have magical powers, why don't anyone research and find some ways to use insects?
There are even a lot of insects that can make people immortal in the records of the hunting house, which is really a tyrannical thing.
"Where's Miss Tamyu?"
"I want to wait for my leg to heal, and then go on a trip with Yingu to see the worms that Yingu told me..."
What else does this need to say, Yingu is really guilty, but it is a pity that Yingu is not in the mountain villa of the Hunter House now. He received a letter from his friend Dr. Kano and hurried over.
Xue Song will also rush over after a while, Yingu's friend happens to live by the sea and wait for Yinggu to deal with things, he wants to go to sea with Yinggu and the small island where he mentioned to the Chaoyanhua, he wants to see if he can subdue the insects there.
In a small fishing village on the southern coast of Nishino Kuni,
Yin Gu leaned against the door smoking a cigarette, listening to the two people arguing in the room a little helplessly, he received a letter from his friend Huaye a week ago, and it took two days to get to the village where his friend was located.
His friend is a doctor, and he is also a person who likes to collect things related to insects, and Yingu often packs and sells the things he left behind after disposing of insects on the road to his doctor friends in exchange for the entanglement of his next trip, but most of them are invalid or fake.
Because insects are alien things after all, it is still risky for ordinary people to come into contact with them.
The children in the village ran into the warehouse where the doctor kept his collection to play, picked up the doctor's collection privately, and contracted a strange disease, but Huaye, as a doctor, had no way to cure it, so he urged Yingu to come over and help take a look.
The strange thing is an inkstone, which was bought by Dr. Kano from a collector, saying that it was made of insect fossils, but Yingu found a living insect in the inkstone, visited for a few days to find the craftsman who made the inkstone, and after hearing about the experience of the craftsman, Yingu found a clue to determine what the sleeping insect in the inkstone was.
It is a worm called "cloud eater", which is similar in shape to a cumulonimbus cloud and feeds on water and ice in the air, turning it into snow or hail and falling down.
They cannot move on their own and can only rely on the wind. If it is sunny for too long, they will shrink, fall to the ground, and enter suspended animation by self-freezing, and will activate and wake up again when they encounter water.
When he helped several children clean up the worms that had been inhaled into their bodies and solved the problem, his doctor friend got into a fight with the craftsman who made the inkstone.
The craftsman wanted to destroy this harmful inkstone, and her fiancé died because of the worm in the inkstone. The doctor wanted to continue to collect this inkstone, and he thought that if he knew how to deal with it, he would not be afraid.
The two were arguing in the house, while Yingu was waiting for Xue Song's arrival, he sent a letter to Ayu yesterday, asking her to inform Xue Song of his address, and received a reply, Xue Song would come in a day, and he would sit here and wait.
Because Xue Song can't see the worm yet, he can only try the method of the children getting infected with the worm, let the worm enter Xue Song's body, and see if there is any possibility of being subdued.
Xue Song did not stay after receiving the letter, and rushed directly to the address that Yin Gu said, he hurried very fast, but because he was afraid that he would disturb the people nearby, he used the wind control technique all the way in the deep mountains.
A gust of wind blew, and Yin Gu unconsciously covered his eyes with his arm, and then looked at it, Xue Song was already standing in front of the door.
"Where's the thing?" The two people arguing in the room also stopped, staring blankly at the people outside the door.
Yin Gu took the inkstone containing the worm from the craftsman and handed it to Xue Song.
"How do you get them out?"
Xue Song shook the inkstone in his hand and sniffed it close with his nose, but he didn't smell anything strange.
"Just put some water and grind it." Yin Gu stood up, he wanted to take Xue Song to an open place, away from the crowd, so as not to affect the others.
The chemical doctor on the side hurriedly stood up, "Hey, Yingu, this is mine!" Take me one."
"Don't come here, it's not your contact, we'll come back when we're done." Yin Gu said to the doctor and the craftsman, he didn't care about Xue Song's situation at all, that person had strange abilities, strong vitality, and ate poisonous fruits like no one, Yin Gu was not afraid of what would happen at all.
Xue Song took the inkstone to the beach by the sea, and Yingu also stood aside with a mask. He needs Yingu to help him see if the worms have come out and whether they have been sucked into his body.
"The worm is out!" As the sound of friction sounded, Yingu also reminded Xue Song.
A huge breathing sound sounded, and Yin Gu watched as the insects floating out of the inkstone were cleanly inhaled into Xue Song's body, and nodded at Xue Song.
Seeing Yingu's gesture, Xue Song stopped grinding ink, meditated on the spot, and began to operate his spiritual power, his mind sank into his body.
"Not enough!" Xue Song said to Yingu, there were indeed some invisible substances in the body, but they were decomposed and absorbed by the spiritual power before they could play a role.
Let Yin Gu stand on the upwind outlet to help him draw out the worms, Xue Song needs to absorb more cloud devouring insects into his body to have a chance to subdue, and quickly. Because after the insects come out, they will float high into the sky, after all, this is the insects that live in the sky, and Xue Song will not be able to trouble them at that time.
