After returning to Jiaolong Village and placing the two Taoist chiefs properly, Zhang Sheng took Ren Changsheng to the water fortress.

General Mu left, but the guards who stayed behind still did not belong to Jiaolong Village, and Ren Changsheng would be the main general of this support army. Ren Changsheng did not object to Zhang Sheng's request, after all, Qin Liangyu is a general recognized by General Mu, and Qin Liangyu is unified and dispatched, which can give full play to the combat power of the army, and the strength of the two sides is already small, after experiencing a series of battles, reducing the battle losses, it can barely maintain the number of 10,000.

Not only the soldiers, but also the ten psionic researchers, as soon as General Mu leaves, he, the lord, can directly call the shots. It is only at this time that one can use power for personal gain and borrow the power of the grandmaster.

The fortifications of the eastern shore of the defense line near the lake have been built, and the slaves of the territory have been put into this place after the completion of the expeditionary camp, which will become the foundation of the city wall. As for the camp of the expeditionary force, if it is not possible to attack the camp on the north bank of the demon army later, the army will turn back here for the future.

The most difficult time is only these three or five days, just waiting for the expeditionary force to grab the ships, not to mention regaining the initiative, but at least it will not be completely passive as it is now.

The gap in the spirit stone is too big, otherwise at this time, it is already possible to start transforming part of the spirit field, without the spirit field, there is no way to plant high-quality crops, and there are very few natural spirit fields in the wild, so even in the deep mountains, spirit plants are not common.

Just when Zhang Sheng was dealing with some trivial matters in the territory, Meng An, who was obsessed with raising insects under the Lingshibao mine, rode a black pack beast and returned to Jiaolong Village with a bunch of insect breeding tanks.

"Why are you here? Didn't I just send you a batch of demon corpses? Seeing Meng An who came to the door, Zhang Sheng was a little surprised, although this guy looks honest and honest, but he is extremely crazy in raising insects and refining poisons.

"Running out." Meng Anhan smiled and scratched his head.

"Run out?" This consumption is too fast, you must know that the demon army fleet was repelled before, plus the salvage after the war, but the corpses of nearly 10,000 demon pawns were harvested, and half of them were sent to Lingshi Castle, it's only been a few days!

"The first batch of mutant bugs has already achieved certain results, and they didn't stop it during the test, so the consumption is a little bigger." Meng An's honest face rarely showed a look of satisfaction.

"Oh? What happened to the new bug? This is a result, Zhang Sheng's curiosity was suddenly pulled up.

"Your Excellency, please look!" Meng An took out a insect breeding jar and stretched his right hand into it, and when his right hand was raised again, there were already three more insects like crimson crystals on his palm.

The insect is not big, only the size of the tip of the little finger, the six legs are slender and slender, and the body of the insect is no longer as round as the crystal ladybug, more similar to a prismatic shape, and the crimson color is demonic.

Bloodcrystal Worm (Spirit) - Hungry for blood, it will completely confine itself to madness when extremely hungry, and attack all flesh and blood creatures indiscriminately.

It's so fierce!

At the beginning, the two pairs of mutant females were also blood crystal worms, but the mutations were not stable, and they could only see their names, and they could not see more attributes.

"This blood crystal worm can only suck blood, and has no other effect?" Zhang Sheng was a little disappointed, the blood crystal worm was mutated from the crystal ladybug, although it retained the rank of the spirit worm, but it seemed to have lost the core excrement of the crystal ladybug with the aura attribute.

Doesn't that mean there is no production at all? There is also a risk of going berserk, and the breeding value of this thing is not high.

"Don't underestimate this blood crystal worm, it's really fierce! The body is small, fast, difficult to defend against, and has a large appetite, eight to ten are enough to suck out the blood of an adult's whole body. Moreover, one egg can hatch two insects at a time, and the number of insect colonies grows rapidly. ”

Insect repellent is a special profession built with two types of "deworming" and "insect raising", which is rare, and generally has no combat effectiveness, and is more to deal with some insect plagues, and insect referencing is more provided to chefs as ingredients, or to poisoners and pharmacists as materials.

Meng An's poisoner profession includes "raising insects", but without "deworming", he can't drive insects to fight on a large scale, and his "raising insects" has also been promoted from the original level 9 to the master level because of the cultivation of new insects this time.

"For the time being, don't let the swarm expand, and continue to optimize first." It's best to optimize its ability to be desperately hungry and indiscriminate.

Now that there is no insect repellent in the territory, large-scale breeding of hemocrystals is a burden!

"Blood spar is just an addition, please look at this, my lord." After Meng An put the blood crystal worm back into the worm jar, he took out a piece of dead wood from another jar, and two black and hideous insects crawled on the dead wood.

The two insects have been gnawing on the dead wood, and the dead wood has been gnawed so pitted that it can no longer see its original shape.

Compared with the quiet and beautiful blood crystal worm, this black worm has a cliff-like decline in appearance, which is also mutated from the crystal ladybug? It's not at all a trace of crystal's character.

Gluttonous insect (spirit) - greedy gluttony, able to quickly complete digestion and excretion, when hungry will eat everything it sees.

What is this? Eater?

"Do you really eat everything?" Zhang Sheng observed carefully, and sure enough, the two gluttonous insects kept gnawing on the dead wood, and from time to time they would excrete dung balls with wooden textures, and the dung balls fell into the clay pot with a burst of sound.

"Yes, earth and stone, copper and iron, grass and trees, flesh and blood, ......" Meng An said as if he were fingers.

The abyssal aura is really evil, and even the insects that are affected and mutated by it are evil.

"They're eating everything I can find at the moment! Non-spiritual items make it difficult for them to feel full, so they eat most of the day. And ......" said Meng An as he handed over the dead wood that had been eaten up to his left hand, and with his right hand he fished out a handful of gluttonous insect dung balls in the jar.

It's said to be a dung ball, but it doesn't look like it at all, it's more like a wooden bead, and the attribute is indeed a wooden bead, but the quality is very low, only 2. And this shape, in addition to wearing a bracelet, can only be used as firewood.

"And this!" As he spoke, Meng An opened another clay pot, which was filled with a black-red gelatinous substance.

Abyss Gel: Quality 8, with strong viscosity, waterproof, fireproof, strong corrosion resistance, it will become fragile in an environment below -10 degrees Celsius.

"Could it be ......" Zhang Sheng's eyes lit up, this thing is much more reliable than oil for shipbuilding, only the disadvantage of low temperature environment, Jiaolong Lake area is not too cold in winter, and it rarely reaches below zero.

And in addition to being used for shipbuilding, it can also be used in many ways, such as bow making and armor making......

"This is the excrement of gluttonous insects after gnawing on the corpse of the demon eater, after many attempts, the excrement of gluttonous insects will be slightly higher than the quality of the things they eat most of the time, if you add spirit stones or spirit attribute materials, the effect will be more obvious. However, because the spirit stones produced in the mine have been transferred to Jiaolong Village, I just tried it with the feces of crystal ladybugs, and the conversion rate is not high, but it can indeed improve the quality of materials to a certain extent. Meng An looked regretful, there were still too few items that could be used to try in the Spirit Stone Castle, and gluttonous insects eating ordinary earth, stones, plants and trees actually had no improvement effect.

Baby!

Where is this rice bucket, this is clearly a model worker pacesetter insect who is diligent in refining materials!

"Can their excrement be eaten as food again?" Zhang Sheng suddenly had a bold idea in his head.

As long as the Abyss Riot is not suppressed for a day, there will be no shortage of demon corpses on the battlefield, and the abyssal gel excreted by gluttonous insects after direct gnawing has reached the quality of 8, if it can be digested and excreted for a second, third, or even more times, can it be upgraded to a higher quality and become a special glue without any shortcomings.

That's perfect, even if it's just eating stones, a few more rounds of digestion should be able to get a good material.

"No, they eat everything, they just don't eat their own excrement." Meng An shook his head.

It's a pity that I can't achieve self-production and self-sale!

Zhang Sheng looked regretful, but it was already quite a surprise at the moment.

"Have you ever tried to eat herbs or poisonous weeds?" Zhang Sheng continued to ask, gluttonous insects have great potential, and special mutants, non-natural varieties, can be used as a special product of the territory.

"I have tried, but the effect is not particularly obvious, especially poisonous weeds and poisonous insects, after being eaten by gluttonous insects, the toxicity of excrement is not as good as that of poisonous weeds and poisonous insects themselves, and the conversion rate is very low." Once again, Meng An mentioned the conversion rate.

"How low?"

"Ordinary soil and stone do not have much loss, the minerals will absorb some metal elements, and the purification effect is also not obvious, the grass and trees are about ten to one, the flesh and blood are about fifty to one, and the spirit plant spirit stone is unknown for the time being."

Ordinary soil and stone gluttonous insects eat and eat, but not much digestion, gnawing ore is also a loss, now can be determined that the effect is obvious, animals, but in the end the specific loss is to earn, but also need more detailed data, at present it seems that there are certain problems in the conversion rate and purification effect. However, at least gnawing on the corpse of the demon pawn must be a big profit, after all, this thing is not easy to use in the first place.

"There is another problem, the current mutation of gluttonous insects may still be flawed, in the continuous feeding, they are also dying rapidly, the number of gluttonous insects hatched in the original batch of eggs is far less than that of hemocrystalline insects, and now half of them have died, less than a hundred." Meng An also tried to use the corpse of a demon pawn to raise five poisons, after all, with a talent bonus, the difficulty should be lower.

But the result is that under the dual influence of talent and abyssal aura, the mutation of the five poisons is indeed violent, but the problem is that it is too violent, and after the mutation, the body size expands dramatically until it explodes like a balloon, and none of them survive. It seems that only spirit worms can withstand the influence of the abyssal aura.

"Find a way to stabilize it, and you must keep this insect species." Zhang Sheng said very solemnly.

This is just the first generation of gluttonous insects, as long as the insect species can be retained, it can be further improved and optimized, just like crops, this is a process of domestication and improvement, as long as the direction is good, it can always reduce the shortcomings and amplify the advantages from generation to generation.
