028 Insect Star (5)
The knife slashed Daddy Scorpion to the ground.
Fortunately, the armor on the scorpion's back was relatively hard, and he got up from the ground, raised two pincers and raised his hook to rush towards the attacker.
The attack on the scorpion father was a huge praying mantis. It wielded two broadswords and fought Daddy Scorpion in one place.
After a few rounds, Father Scorpion quickly couldn't parry.
Its pincers and hooks were no match for the broadsword in the first place, not to mention the fact that it was wounded yesterday.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the mother scorpion raised her two pincers and joined the fight.
The praying mantis suffered from the enemy on its belly and back, and gradually fell into disadvantage.
Just as the scorpion was about to win, a fierce general suddenly jumped from the sky. It turned out to be another praying mantis joining the fight.
The mother scorpion shouted to the little scorpion, "Baby, run!" ”
The little scorpion should be very familiar with such a scene, turned around and fled into the cave, shouting to Marven at the entrance of the cave: "Marven come in!" ”
As soon as the off-road vehicle Weiwei drove into the hole, the scorpion father and the scorpion mother also rolled in.
The mother scorpion fled into the depths of the cave with the baby scorpion, and the father scorpion blocked the entrance to the cave with a stone.
"It's dangerous!" Father Scorpion collapsed to the ground.
"What's going on? How can you still be attacked at your doorstep? Marven asked puzzled.
Father Scorpion gasped and said, "We, the insect star, have always been like this. In order to fight for food, either you attack me or I attack you. Those two praying mantis are here to rob us of mosquito meat. ”
Marven asked, "Isn't it possible for everyone to forage together and then share together?" It's like a tribe. ”
Marvin once read a picture book about the jungle with his mother, and it talked about the role of tribes. A person, a family faces all kinds of threats in the jungle. But many families can unite and survive after forming a tribe.
Father Scorpion shook his head.
The mother scorpion brought a bowl of water to the father of the scorpion to drink, and said to Marven, "In the past, we had the kind of tribe you said. But many people still starved to death. Because there was not enough food, the weak and sick scorpions had to starve to death and give food to the strong scorpions. ”
"That's right."
"Later, the strong scorpion did not have enough food, so he ate the weak and sick scorpion."
"Ahh Marvin and Mia were both taken aback.
"So, the Spider Chief ordered the tribe to be disbanded. That's what it is now. We were lucky enough to find a nest. A lot of insects don't know what's going on now. ”
"I see." Marven took out his cane and glanced at Mia.
The little scorpion cried at this time: "I know you are preparing to leave. If you're gone, we'll be hungry again. My dad was injured, and my mom and I didn't dare to go out. Uh-huh—"
"Maybe." Marven thought of their experience on Ironman, "I can go talk to that Spider Chief." Hey? Spider? Aren't spiders eight-legged? ”
At this time, Mia also reacted: "Only the six-legged ones are insects." So spiders are not insects. ”
Mia's knowledge was told to her by her brother Marven. They often go to the park to observe all kinds of small insects and take pleasure in counting how many legs they have grown.
Once Marven played a prank and took a polypod leaf and stretched it out to Mia for her to count. Scared Mia to tears.
"The other spider is not an insect, but that spider is." Mother Scorpion said.
"Why?" Marven asked.
"Because it has six legs."
"Why?" Marven asked again.
"It originally had eight legs, but then broke two legs in a fight with other insects. So now it's a six-legged insect. ”
Marven always felt that something was wrong. Insects do have six legs, but those that have six legs are not necessarily insects.
Of course, now is not the time to discuss whether a six-legged spider is an insect or not.
"Where is the spider? I'm going to look for it. ”
"We don't know. Only know that it is behind the mountain. ”
