177 The Food Chain (Ask for Reading, Ask for Vote!) )

Qian Sheng's voice just fell.

Those rats who were still scrambling to burrow for their lives began to make that kind of "squeak" that made people feel restless when they heard it.

Those few tiny holes simply can't hold so many mice.

One by one, they stepped on their companions, piling up a wall in that corner.

To Lin Yi's ears, this voice was very miserable, indicating that they were now in extreme fear.

What are they afraid of?

Before he could figure it out, he saw that the layers of soil in the gaps on both sides of the Shinto began to loosen.

From the bottom, beetles the size of fingernails crawl out.

It should be this heavy rain that caused the air humidity to increase underground, making these insects who like a dry environment very uncomfortable, and they have come out of the ground to breathe.

This bug is extremely common in the northern region and is commonly known as the "watermelon bug".

There is a hard shell, and as soon as it senses the danger of the outside world, it immediately curls up its belly and forms a ball.

Wang Qiang is afraid of rats, but he is not afraid of insects.

When he saw the little insect crawling out from under the ground, he went up and pinched one in his hand.

The watermelon worm quickly curled up into a small ball and was held in the palm of Wang Qiang's palm.

"Alas Lao Lin, the money shopkeeper, you say, those rats aren't afraid of this thing, right? What's so offensive about this thing? ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his middle finger and bounced the "little ball" away.

Seeing this, Qian Sheng immediately relaxed his vigilance.

"What should I be, the scientific name of this thing seems to be 'Rat Woman', it seems to be a Chinese herbal medicine, Lin Ye?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"That's right, although it's called 'rat woman', it has nothing to do with mice, and it's really a Chinese herbal medicine.

This thing is not aggressive, and even if it is caught by a rat and can beat them with a tooth sacrifice, how can it scare them like this? ”

At this moment, someone is speaking in the barrage in the live broadcast room.

"We have a lot of this stuff in our hometown, and my younger brothers and sisters used to go to the mountains to dig this thing, and someone came to the village to collect it."

"I've also dug it, don't say it, this thing is quite popular, those who collect medicinal herbs also want to raise scorpions, they say that feeding watermelon worms to scorpions will grow the best."

Qian Sheng pointed to the screen.

"You see, this life is full of knowledge, and netizens are our teachers."

The watermelon insects in the ground are gathering more and more, almost densely covering the entire ground.

The three of them stood still and watched the animals and insects migrate rapidly, but Goku let out a fierce howl again and began to scurry over the stone statue, looking extremely restless.

"Brother Monkey, what's the matter with you?"

Wang Qiang looked back, and his face instantly turned pale.

"Lao Lin, the money shopkeeper, look!"

Hearing him cry out nervously, Lin Yi and Qian Sheng turned around, and both of them broke out in a cold sweat at the same time.

Underneath the pedestal of the statue, like a broken fire hydrant, began to pour out puffs of earthy yellow liquid from all directions in the west.

The three of them hurriedly flashed to the side and focused on the light to see clearly.

What poured out from under the pedestal of the stone statue was not liquid, but dense earthy yellow scorpions.

Not only in front of and behind them, but also under the surrounding stone statues, the scorpions began to crawl out.

Each one was about four or five centimeters long, covered in an earthy yellow shell, with two pincers held high above their heads, but their tails hidden underneath.

The watermelon worms also began to rush in the direction of the rats' escape, like a black tide.

The yellow scorpion followed closely behind them, killing these watermelon insects on a large scale.

It seems that there is no ill will towards the three of them.

The three of them admired the greatness of nature while watching the excitement.

"This small piece of land has formed a complete food chain."

"Who says it's not, just look at it, watermelon worms eat grain, feed scorpions when they are full, scorpions are full, and mice can still take them to open meat!"

Although the number of watermelon insects on the ground is large, it cannot withstand the devouring of the yellow scorpions one by one.

For them, it's an hors d'oeuvres.

It is simply not possible to satisfy the appetite of these scorpions.

I watched as the black on the ground slowly became covered with earthy yellow.

In less than a moment, these dense watermelon worms were caught up by the surging army of yellow scorpions behind them, and they were eaten clean like a whirlwind and clouds.

"These scorpions are starving to death, eating so fast?"

"I didn't blink a few times, and that's it? Oh, look, they're running for those rats! Isn't this death? ”

After the scorpion slowly digested the watermelon worm, it began to slowly wave its pincers towards the group of rats in the corner.

The rats that had not been able to get into the hole in time had seen these scorpions, which were not very large, and they let out a miserable cry again.

"Isn't it amazing? Why don't you dare to fight them? You're on it! ”

Wang Qiang stood far away, coaxed vigorously, and put his fingers in his mouth and whistled.

It stands to reason that scorpions are actually in the diet of rats, and they should be the species that stands at the top of this underground food chain.

Because rats are omnivores, they eat whatever they catch in the ground.

Even if there are mountains of food here, it is difficult to guarantee that they want to eat something stimulating to improve their food.

Judging from the reaction of these rats, it seems that they are very afraid of these yellow scorpions.

Before the rats had time to burrow into the earth to escape for their lives, they simply gave up resistance.

This scene made Lin Yi and the others feel very incomprehensible.

This group of big rats, but they fought with them, and at that time, the division of labor was clear, and the momentum of the previous servants was gone.

Just when they hesitated, they saw that the rats who had just met with the yellow scorpion didn't even have a chance to fight, they directly kicked their legs and lay straight on the ground, foaming at the mouth.

"! This scorpion can magic? ”

Wang Qiang looked surprised and shouted directly.

Immediately afterwards, the scorpion swarm rushed up, and the layers of yellow waves swept these big rats into it before they had time to escape.

Within a few minutes, waiting for a wave of "yellow tide" to fade, I saw a mountain of mouse skeletons stacked in the corner.

Qian Sheng, who watched this scene, was dumbfounded, and cold sweat flowed from his head.

"Master Lin, you are well-informed, take a look, this. What's going on? ”

"Lao Lin, do you think these scorpions are full? Will they turn around and take us under the knife? ”

Wang Qiang's mouth was indeed like opening the light, saying whatever he wanted.

The yellow scorpion surrounded the rat colony without much effort, and it was clear that the scorpion at the back of the line did not catch much oil and water.

At this time, Lin Yi and the three of them happened to be the best targets for these guys to start a meal.

I saw that the back team of the scorpions changed to the front team, turned around, and crawled towards the three of them.

Soon, they were surrounded in the middle, leaving only a small place for the three of them to settle down.
