Arubarak was a little depressed, and Fang Yun was like a curious baby, with countless questions along the way.
"What do you usually eat?"
"Eat bugs. ”
"What do you usually do?"
"Raise bugs. ”
"What do you do on a typical basis?"
"Look for bugs. ”
"What are you all afraid of?"
"Big bugs. ”
“......”
In short, most of the daily activities of the Zerg are related to bugs.
Take today, before Arubalak met Fang Yun, he was cultivating insects.
The bugs he controls are called fire ants.
Don't underestimate these fire ants, because fire ants are almost invincible in this area.
Of course, not at the level of Arubarak.
Adult fire ants can be the size of a fist, hundreds or even thousands, and can be described as unstoppable.
Any creature that encounters a swarm of fire ants must flee from the wind.
When encountering creatures with rough skin and thick flesh, they will spray slightly acid.
Their slight acids can dissolve the skin of any living being, not even the Titans.
It's just that fire ants have a very slow growth cycle, and their lifespan is surprisingly long.
The normal lifespan of a fire ant is 1,000 years, but it takes at least 300 years to grow into an adult.
In other words, if Arubaraq wants to raise adult worms, it will only be possible for future generations.
Generally speaking, insects are inherited from generation to generation.
But Arubalaq was unlucky. When his father was very young, he was accidentally treated as a snack by a bug.
And his father's bugs were automatically disbanded. As a result, Arubalaq can only re-cultivate his own bugs.
Fire ants are almost impossible to domesticate, although fire ants are quite powerful if they are formed.
However, the cultivation cycle is too long, and within a few generations, it will not be able to form combat power at all.
And a Zerg without combat power is equivalent to a chicken-like existence for the tribe.
No one wants to keep generations of waste, so most Zerg people will look for one. The more powerful bugs act as their own driving bugs.
In addition, the juvenile period of fire ants has a particularly huge amount of food, how can ordinary Zerg people afford it?
After several comparisons, most of the Zerg people will not choose fire ants. Even if it's for the sake of future generations.
While the two were talking, they were already approaching a canyon area, and a zerg quickly approached.
The Zerg didn't run on its feet, but it was fast.
Fang Yun glanced at it and found that the ground that the Zerg's feet were touching was constantly rolling.
A burrowing insect three or four meters in size. Hiding underground, this burrower is very similar to an earthworm, but its body is covered in thick armor, and there is a row of sharp horns on its back, and the ground where the burrower crawls. will be completely destroyed, leaving a long ditch.
"Arubaraq. What are you bringing humans into our territory? Our tribe does not allow outsiders to approach. ”
The Zerg looked at Fang Yun rather unkindly, and Arubalaq hurriedly said, "This human is lost nearby, if you drive him away at this time, he will probably be eaten by the insects that infest the night." ”
This bug should be a member of the guarding clan, he didn't approach Fang Yun, he just sniffed violently in the air.
Looking at Fang Yun with some surprise: "Have you met the Worm King?"
"Yes. ”
"He wasn't eaten by the Worm King?"
"We came across a bigger bug and drove away the worm king, so I brought him back and reported back to the patriarch. Arubaraq said.
When the zerg heard Arubalak's words, his face immediately became solemn and he immediately got out of the way.
"Then go quickly. ”
Even he didn't dare to slack off at all, any bug has a corresponding brain wave frequency, if he can't get the brain wave frequency of the big bug before the big bug appears near the Zerg territory, it is likely to cause a great threat.
It's like searching for an unknown frequency, so you have to look for it in advance, not that you can resonate with a bug if you see it.
As the two of them delved deeper into the Zerg tribe, they found more and more Zerg.
In fact, the Zerg is a collective term for all mutant races, and they are divided into many tribes.
For example, this zerg in Arubalaq is called the Earth Shatter Tribe.
Most of the people of the Ground Shatter tribe like to control the Ground Driller.
The burrowing insect is very easy to cultivate, the cultivation cycle is only more than ten years, and a generation may have to be changed several times in a lifetime, not like fire ants, which can only be cultivated in several generations, and if it is renewed, it is dozens of generations.
Moreover, the food of the burrower does not need to be provided by the tribe, and only needs its owner to control the burrower to find it underground.
This barren rock area looks quite barren on the surface, but in fact the ground is quite fertile, and many creatures like to hide underground.
Of course, there are more dangers hidden underground.
Along the way, Fang Yun saw many houses made of earth and stones, and the people of the Broken Land Tribes went in and out of the tribe, and the insects they accompanied were also following them every step of the way.
Of course, just because the Grind tribe's main companion bug is the Burrower doesn't mean everyone has to be a Burrower.
Labrak, for example, prefers his fire ants, even if they are young.
Maybe he wants to inherit the glory of his father's generation, but his generation can't see it.
Along the way, Arubalak mostly talked about the advantages of fire ants, as if to convince Fang Yun that fire ants were the best companion bugs.
However, he is also complaining that the appetite of fire ants is too big, and every day he needs to go out to find prey, and a two-meter-long lizard every day is not enough for fire ants to eat.
And this kind of food is still slowly increasing, in another ten years. It is estimated that the food of fire ants will be doubled.
From Arubalak's tone, you can already hear his concern for the future.
Arubalaq is clearly an idealistic Shattered Clan. Of course, his first condition at present is to find a woman of the same race and give birth to offspring for him.
It's just that most of the women of the same race don't have a good impression of Arubarak, whose companion insect is a fire ant.
This made Arubaraq quite depressed, as if he were like those women on the main plane, very realistic.
The clansmen of the Crushed Land tribe along the way. Seeing Fang Yun, an outsider, he was quite curious.
This is a very primitive tribe, more primitive than the warrior tribes of the forest.
At least many of the tribes in the forest have learned how to use metal tools, and have established a fairly well-established society and hierarchy.
The hierarchy of the Zerg is still relatively vague, not that there is no distinction between high and low. It's just that it's not so clear, even the patriarch doesn't have much authority.
Fang Yun had already roughly understood the social system of the Shattered Land tribe, this kind of social relationship with an unclear division of labor.
The nice thing is that everyone is equal, and the bad thing is that there is no binding force at all.
If it's in normal times, it's fine, but once something big happens. Or when faced with danger, they will lose their ability to survive.
Why are humans above everything else on Earth?
Not only because of human wisdom, but also because of the perfection of human social system.
A company from top to bottom, a society from officials to civilians, complex but well-organized.
Of course. Every system has its shortcomings, but the strength of human beings lies in. It will continue to improve.
The Zerg have great potential, but because of the problem of living space, it is difficult for them to develop their social system stably.
An old man had come out of a relatively tall stone house, his body was thin, his skin was as dark as a dried old tree, his eyes were black and white, with a bit of majesty, and on his head he carried a worm shell that was about to crumble.
"Patriarch, this is my friend Fang Yun. ”
The patriarch glanced at Fang Yun, his gaze was flat, and there was no joy or anger.
"Aru, didn't I say that you shouldn't just bring foreign humans to our tribe?"
"Patriarch, we found a large bug near our clan......"
Arubalak hurriedly told him what had happened today, and the patriarch immediately showed a heavy look and looked at Fang Yun at the same time.
"What kind of bug?"
Where there are any big bugs, Fang Yun made them up blindly, but Fang Yun still made up one, with colorful and fat caterpillars all over his body.
The old patriarch was surprised and delighted, but he didn't have the slightest doubt about Fang Yun's words.
"Hearing you say this, this is supposed to be a poisonous worm, but poisonous insects rarely grow this big, and it seems that we are lucky, and if we can find it, maybe we can take it as a companion worm of our people. ”
"Patriarch, is there anyone in our clan who can control such a big bug?"
Generally speaking, the bigger the bug, the stronger the mental power, just like the giant beetle.
The patriarch said with a slight expression: "My son is already an adult, he is the genius of our Shattered Land Clan, and his control is many times stronger than that of my old fellow, and now it is time to find a companion worm, originally I wanted him to subdue the insect king, but now it seems that this poisonous insect is more powerful." ”
At this moment, a tall young man came out of the stone house behind the old patriarch.
Fang Yun looked at the young man, and then at Arubalaq.
Judging by the superiority of the two, this young man's physical fitness is very good, and his mental strength is also quite good.
And Arubalaq is a **silk man, an older youth.
"Aru, you'd better dismiss your fire ants and honestly go find a burrowing worm. The young man looked at Arubaraq in a condescending manner.
"Ah Qiang, you don't have to worry about this. Arubarak's face was a little ugly, and he couldn't help but glance at Fang Yun out of the corner of his eye.
As if he was afraid that Fang Yun's friend would look down on him, this young man named Ah Qiang walked up to Fang Yun and looked Fang Yun up and down: "Human, give me the clothes you have on your body." ”
