Chapter 13: Hundreds of Evolutionary Scenes
Mark's green caterpillar looked a little scared.
When they came to the vicinity of this huge compound surrounded by a wooden fence, they hid behind him all the time.
Vague memories come to mind.
It used to seem that every time he came to this neighborhood, the green caterpillar would take him away.
Could it be that his green caterpillar came from here and has bad memories here?
Mark looked at the green caterpillar and said, "Have you ever lived here?" ”
"Hiss."
The green caterpillar shook his head.
It seemed that Mark and Old Man Qian were nearby, and the green caterpillar's timidity subsided a little, and gradually approached the wooden fence, looking at the green caterpillar inside with confusion and curiosity.
Just simply not used to getting along with your own kind?
Mark watched the green caterpillar's performance thoughtfully.
Without making Mark think too much, the village chief Qian Lao Man introduced: "There are two main industries in Qingxi Village, one of which is the tomato garden in the north of the village, and the other is the silk weaving that every household will do.
The green caterpillars raised here are the main source of silk thread used in silk. ”
As he spoke, Old Man Qian opened the door of the green caterpillar breeding base.
Before, it was difficult to see clearly due to the wooden fence.
At this point, the gate was opened, and Mark saw hundreds of green caterpillars moving in the grass at the front of the courtyard.
A keeper happened to push a cart of feed out of the warehouse, and the green caterpillars seemed to receive a signal and quickly gathered towards the keeper.
The breeder Lin Erniu found that Old Man Qian took the initiative to beckon: "Village Chief, you are here!" ”
"It's nothing, just take this kid Mark here for a visit, you're busy with yours!"
Old man Qian responded casually, and without explaining to Lin Erniu that Mark had opened his mind, he took Mark to the rear area of the breeding base.
During the walk, the green caterpillar's timid condition further improved.
Not only does it gradually get closer to the nearby green caterpillars, but it also occasionally hisses a few times at the green caterpillars here, but it has never dared to touch its own kind, and every time a similar kind approaches, it will retreat a distance in a panic.
Soon, as he crossed a row of wooden houses, Mark saw a hive-like room of green caterpillars.
It seems that they are better fed, and the green caterpillars in these hive lattice rooms are slightly bloated and are constantly spitting out silk threads.
On the other side of the hive hut, countless silk threads were soaked in the pool, and Mark smelled a smell of alkali, as if he was carrying out some process of silk reeling, soaking the silk threads in alkaline water.
Old man Qian explained: "As you can see, this is the process of producing silk threads by green caterpillars.
The green caterpillar is a very easy to grow and evolve elf, generally speaking, as long as it is full for a few days in a row, the green caterpillar can spit out silk threads with a high frequency.
If it can maintain a full stomach for about a month, the green caterpillar will naturally evolve into an ironclad chrysalis.
After waiting for a month or so, they will evolve into Ba Da butterflies.
The climate around the Qingxi Forest is cold in winter, and the butterflies fly to the southern province of Yunrui to mate and breed in the sea of flowers in the Wufang Mountains, and then return to their hometowns in the spring of the following or third year to give birth to their offspring.
Every spring, some butterflies fly back here to lay elf eggs, and at the same time, we will also control the amount of food, and keep some of the green caterpillars from evolving and stay for the winter.
However, the quality of the silk thread spit out by this kind of green caterpillar is generally poor, and the price is low.
Therefore, in order to obtain high-quality silk threads, the children of the village often use insect nets to catch wild green caterpillars.
If you look at this part of the area, the wild green caterpillars caught by the children in the village are not only tough, but also softer after being soaked in alkaline water. ”
Mark followed the direction of the village chief's finger and saw another batch of green caterpillars.
These green caterpillars don't look any different from the previous ones, all because they are a little bloated from their full feeding.
The only difference is that these green caterpillars look more agile.
Mark looked at his green caterpillar, and from his green caterpillar, he also felt this agility.
Following the village elder's progress, he walked out of the green caterpillar's hive hut, and Mark saw the neatly placed iron chrysalis in his sight, which numbered in the thousands.
Mark's green caterpillar seemed to see so many ironclad chrysalis for the first time, and his eyes were full of shock.
In fact, not only Mark's green caterpillar, but Mark himself.
Old man Qian touched an iron chrysalis next to him with his hand and said: "If you want to make money, my advice to you is to go to the forest to catch wild green caterpillars, depending on the shape and state of the green caterpillars, each wild green caterpillar can be exchanged for 35 to 100 yuan."
Usually after two to three weeks of breeding in the wild, the quality of the silk thread they spit out will drop significantly, continue to raise them for one or two weeks, and in a continuous full state, these green caterpillars will evolve into iron chrysalis.
In fact, catching wild green caterpillars in the forest is also helping them.
Bird elves are the natural enemies of insect elves, and the green caterpillars in the Qingxi Forest are always threatened by bird elves such as Bobo and Flaming Sparrows, and will also be attacked by Aber snakes.
Bringing the green caterpillars here, they can successfully evolve except for the silk, which will be a little harder to spin the silk. ”
Mark said thoughtfully: "The wild green caterpillars are caught here to feed the silk thread, and the quality of the silk thread is declining, could it be a problem with the feed?" If you feed the green caterpillar with the usual food, will the quality of the silk thread not deteriorate? ”
Old man Qian shook his head with a smile and said: "You are not the first to think so, in fact, if you feed the green caterpillars their usual food, it will take less than two weeks, the quality of their silk threads will decline, it is better to eat the feed we prepared, the quality of the silk threads can last for nearly three weeks."
How's that, do you want to take the job? ”
"Okay."
Mark didn't think much of it and immediately agreed.
In any case, earning coins is a must.
After some thought, Mark decided to take the green caterpillar during the day to practice impact in the forest to gain experience, and at the same time look for wild green caterpillars to catch.
Then, as Mark pondered further, Mark's thoughts were interrupted by the cry of a green caterpillar.
"Hiss!"
The green caterpillar spotted something and moved to the side of an ironclad chrysalis.
Mark walked over, "You mean, this ironclad chrysalis is in pain?" ”
The green caterpillar nodded, but quickly shook its head again.
It didn't quite know what had happened to the pupa in armor.
At this moment, a cracking sound appeared.
The chrysalis cracked its carapace, and a white butterfly emerged from the chrysalis, its wings crumpled at first, but soon unfurled.
And that's just the beginning.
There were cracking sounds one after another, and one after another the butterflies broke out of their chrysalis, stretched their wings, and it didn't take long for them to dance in the air.
The green caterpillar stared at the scene in front of him and his eyes widened.
The butterflies flying in the air look extremely happy and happy, and they are beautiful!
Will it turn into such a butterfly in the future?
The green caterpillar froze in place, it couldn't describe what the emotions were pouring out of its heart at this time, but it felt that its brain was messed up, and at the same time it had an urge to evolve and become a butterfly.
It seems to ...... It is also possible to evolve.
"Don't be affected by the evolution of these ironclad chrysalis, remember what I said to you this morning?"
Mark's words pull the green caterpillar back to reality.
The green caterpillar remembered what Mark had said to it this morning, and remembered the dream-like impact practice for more than three years.
"Hiss!"
Mark rubbed the green caterpillar's head and said, "Yes, we have to lay a good foundation now, and we can only evolve when the foundation is perfect!" ”
Old man Qian showed a teachable expression and said: "That's right, the more solid the elves train before evolution, the stronger their strength will be after evolution, if you want to become stronger, green caterpillar, you must make the foundation solid before evolution!" ”
"Hiss!"
The green caterpillar strikes a hard-working pose and looks scrappy!
"Village chief, since that's the case, then I'll go to the forest with the green caterpillar to catch wild green caterpillars!"
"Be careful all the way, I just want to go to Lin Tong's kid's house to have a look, so I won't send you to the forest, every insect catcher has different catching skills, how to catch the green caterpillar is up to you!"
By the way, if you encounter suspicious people in the forest, you should pay special attention, the people of the Thundering Regiment are likely to appear in the Qingxi Forest recently, try to escape after encountering them, and if you find something wrong, come back and report to me as soon as possible. ”
"Hmm."
After saying hello to the village elder, Mark left with the green caterpillar breeding base and headed west to Qingxi Forest.
In the sky, thousands of butterflies circled and flew south, the scene was very spectacular, Mark looked up, and then burrowed into the forest with the head of the green caterpillar without looking back.
Capturing wild green caterpillars to make money will obviously delay some training time and slow down the progress of gaining experience, so he should seize the time to experience with green caterpillars......
