Song Siyuan looked at the corpse of the slave, and then looked at the house full of corpses, she recalled the skillful behavior of the flying insects just now, it can be seen that it has formed a convention, so she pondered it carefully, and gradually had a complete guess about the existence of the flying insects in her heart.

Flying insects can live underground and still maintain their populations, which should be the same as the corpse fish, which maintains a different ecosystem, this is a bug that does not need sunlight at all to survive.

The insect feeds on human wax, and when the translucent larvae grow, they look for another female flying insect and sink into the water to lay eggs.

The eggshells in the water are designed to hatch into larvae, with a flexible and firm skin that allows them to flow, and when the larvae hatch, they use their head horns to puncture the eggs, and dozens of flying insects are able to break out of the eggs.

This flying insect does not stay on objects except for foraging, and once the larval wings are extended, in order to avoid enemies, it must fly into the air as soon as possible to become part of the swarm.

Of course, there are also a large number of larvae that are submerged in the water, and after wetting their wings, they lose the chance to fly, and sink into the river like insect shells and old worms, and accumulate in them to be broken down into nutrients by microorganisms.

The Lingzhi they saw, all the roots of the Lingzhi were protruding from the hole, which was presumably connected to the underground river, so that the Lingzhi rattan could burrow into it to form a network, and at the same time absorb water and nutrients, which were used to feed the corpses of slaves, so that their bodies produced transparent corpse wax!

Then, when the adults in the swarm need to eat, they can enter thousands of caves in groups to complete the group foraging behavior, and then fly into the swarm, and the cycle repeats to form a swarm support system.

It can be said that as long as there are eggs in the water of the swarm, it is not a problem for this swarm system to last for thousands of years.

After Song Siyuan said his words to everyone, Yue Qingshan was really surprised in his heart, but he also knew that Song Siyuan's life support system really existed, and the beekeeper made honey and silkworm farmers raised silkworms were the same reason, but due to the use of manpower, it was not so exquisite.

As for Ren Peacock, she is from the junction of Sichuan, Hunan and Guizhou, and she knows too well what Gu poison martial arts are, I don't know how many kinds of such insects there are, and even she herself may be able to do these things, the two of them were surprised, and there were new questions in their hearts.

Ren Peacock has always been straightforward and quick-spoken, and asked without stealing: "Sister, these flying insects may be staying underground, and these places are not less holes and fewer doors, so they won't fly out!" ”

For this, Song Siyuan had already thought of it, and looked at everyone and explained:

"The southern foot of the Qinling Mountains does not freeze all year round, even if it is a large and small cold solar term, it is just frost and dew, it can be seen that it is very warm in other seasons of the year, the habit of this flying insect is to like cold and humidity, once out of the hole, it will have to withstand high temperature or humidity changes."

"When we entered the hole, I had already found that these flying insects were falling into the water, which shows that this insect has a very low tolerance to heat, and it is likely that it died halfway due to the change in temperature outside, I didn't understand it at first, until I saw that the insects could be dispersed with kerosene oil, and then I thought that the insect swarm could not fly in the city building, and I understood that the flying insects should be afraid of high heat or burning, which also explains why the lights work!"

"Even if you go out when you are the coldest, you will not be physically strong, and when you are hotter in other times, will you be sent to death if you go out?"

This sentence woke everyone up completely, and Xu Xiake couldn't help but praise: "Immeasurable Tianzun, the size of heaven and earth is really wonderful, but this insect is so weird, but what is it?" ”

"Dwindle!"

Yue Guanchao and they looked back at Second Uncle Yue, they had never heard of this kind of creature at all, and they didn't know that this old man knew, and they worshiped a little bit in their eyes.

"A ground dwind, what is it, even if it is a land of Sichuan and Xiang, there is no Gu worm called a ground dwind."

Yue Qingshan looked at these little cubs, and he looked like I ate more salt than you walked: "In the mountainous areas of Sichuan and Hunan provinces, hanging coffin tombs are popular, and some coffins are placed in caves, and the wind in these caves is cold and cold, and the corpse is either a dry corpse, or it remains in its original state, and the corpse seems to be covered with a layer of lard, and there is often a flying insect around this corpse, which is called a ground dwindle, also called an oil thief, and a seven-day insect." ”

This kind of ground dung feeds on human wax, wax is not exhausted, insects are not destroyed, and after seven days of growth, they will find the other half of the pair, and then they melt their heads and bodies, leaving only the stomach to form a worm sac, and many eggs in their bodies, relying on the bone and blood of the mother and fetus to begin to hatch, and so on seven days later break out of the body, fly into the air and become a part of the insect colony, and then it takes seven days to grow up completely, counting the time of egg laying, no more than a month.

"What appears in front of us should be a ground dwindle, speaking of which is this kind of thing, I heard that it is still a living person!"
