Chapter 82: The Religion of the Beetle Believers

After a period of careful guidance, the beetle finally regained its sense of being a beetle. And Will found that the beetle's knowledge and intelligence seemed to be only the intelligence he had when he was three years old, which made Will find it very interesting. It seems that the longer the time passed through their own memories, the higher the knowledge and intelligence these beetles will acquire.

Seeing that his gods were no longer hostile to the guy under his pincers, Stoss asked what was going on. Will explains that he has enlightened another of his kind, and that this guy will later be Storth's companion, and that this guy also believes in science and believes in himself as a true god.

Storth was visibly happy after receiving Will's explanation. It seemed that he had a feeling that he was no longer alone. Will ordered the beetle to be released, and the beetle ran at Will's feet as soon as it was freed, and began to show its loyalty and fanaticism. But when the beetle was showing loyalty, Will could always feel a little childish. It seems that this beetle only received the baptism of knowledge within the age of Will, and the sequelae were caused~!

Will named the beetle One, and then took the little guy One, and rushed towards the other beetle that was sending a spiritual message. It is worth mentioning that Storth was very happy with Will's decision to name the beetle One. It seems that this name can only be regarded as a code name compared to the name of Storth, and does not represent a status symbol.

In this way, Will and Stoss ambushed ten beetles in a row in this boulder forest and returned. The smallest of these beetles only has the memories of Will being two years old, and the oldest will only have the memories of Will being four years old. Although Will was very unhappy with this, he couldn't help it. Because the overall strength of these guys is here, and there is not a very prominent guy.

The reason why Will stopped continuing to ambush the beetles, with these boy soldiers, he felt like a child king!

It's not that all the beetles in this stone forest have been ambushed by Will, it's just because Will has been ambushing the beetles since then. Feeling that his mental power was consumed a lot, he began to feel dizzy.

And after he connected the meaning of ten beetles at the same time, he found that these beetles were constantly transmitting all kinds of mental information to it, which was like a person constantly talking to himself in your head. Will felt that these beetles were now the limit of what he could withstand with these chaotic thinking information. If he had gone on longer, he would not have died of mental exhaustion, and he would have been driven mad by the fragmented thoughts of these beetles.

However, at this time, he noticed something different, and Storth's thinking information would also be transmitted to Will's brain, but Stoth's thinking information would not be as 'noise' as these newly ambushed guys.

Even when Will began to think about some problems, if Stoss didn't take the initiative to call Will with his consciousness, Will would even be able to ignore Stos's existence. This phenomenon means that it will take some time for Will to slowly get used to the chaotic thinking information of these beetles, and the feeling that keeps ringing in his mind.

When Will returned, the ten giant beetles followed, and there was still some momentum in the scene.

Around noon, Will returned to the base of the boulder with the beetles. He didn't return to the waterhole with the beetles directly, because what Will needed now was for them to help him dig caverns and dig out dark red stone and iron ore underground.

With a sore head and mental harassment, Will gave all the beetles the task of digging up iron ore and dark red stones, and appointed Stoss as their leader. And briefly explained some precautions for excavating the dark red stone particles and iron ore underground to Stos, so that he should pay attention not to damage the structure of the boulder pillar too much. The design of the mine should be reasonable during excavation to avoid unnecessary casualties caused by landslides.

Although these guys are somewhat uncomfortable with appointing Stoss as the leader, because the beetle's survival rules do not have the position of leader. However, due to the influence of faith and loyalty, these beetles immediately chose absolute obedience, and Storth, with its higher intelligence and knowledge, was able to command and design the excavation route reasonably competent.

Will then left with the beetles One and Two and went to the cave in the waterhole to rest, when Will broke away from the spiritual connection he had established with the beetles. He visibly felt a lot lighter, after all, all the mental information that kept appearing in his mind at all times was disconnected and disappeared.

When Will returned to the edge of the waterhole with the two beetles, he began to worry about another problem. That's the problem of food~!

Although he can let these beetles go to the well-fed stone forest in the morning to forage for food and return to work in the afternoon, there is no doubt that this is a waste of time and greatly reduces the work efficiency. This is something that Will doesn't want to see, and Will wants a more stable source of food.

Looking at this pool of clear water, Will thought silently in his heart. Now that there is water, there is a safe environment. There is a lack of a way to produce solid food in large quantities, and there are two methods that are feasible based on human experience. One is farming, and the other is planting. But these two methods seem to be closely related, in this special environment breeding is inseparable from planting, planting also needs to cooperate with breeding in order to better development.

In the end, Will chose to try to plant some plants first to see if it would work, and Will felt that the problem of these beetles going to the toilet needed to be solved in the future, and the precious organic fertilizer resources here could not be wasted.

Will sat on the edge of the waterhole, shoving the dark red stones into the opening like snacks. While silently sifting through the plants in his memory, he saw if he could find some that matched his planting.

When Will remembered the huge stone forest with colorful hedrons, he suddenly felt happy in his heart, because the water source in that stone forest was very scarce, and the stones there seemed to be much harder than the stones in other places. So there are a lot of giant beetles there, but I don't know why the giant beetles there are generally bigger than the giant beetles in other places.

Stoss has been wandering here for a while, and he used to hunt some of the giant beetles here. And lived in the territory of a giant beetle for a while, and during the time that Stoss lived, there were some brightly colored grasses growing under the hedron next to the small puddles in the giant beetle's territory, and these grasses grew very quickly.

After Stoss had eaten the blades of the grass in the morning, the wounds would heal in the evening, and the blades would grow again the next morning.

Thinking back to this, Will was thrilled to find the perfect plant to grow. And it's likely that the plant also promotes the growth of beetles.

It's a bit too late now, because it's almost night. And Will has already decided to choose to go offline this night, although he knows that the current mandatory offline time has been changed to twenty-two hours. But he's been here for a long time, and he still needs to go back and deal with some things about the lab.

When night came, Will returned to the cave of the Pillar. A large space has been excavated inside the cavern of the Great Stone Pillar under the command of Storth, and Storth found that the further down the iron ore is, the higher the iron content, and the more dark red stone particles will be attached to the iron ore.

When night really fell, Will and Beetles 1 through 10 hid in the cave, while Stoss still took on the task of blocking the door. Will looked at the pile of iron ore that was more than a meter high in front of him and the dark red stone particles next to the iron ore that were piled up more than three or four catties, and couldn't help but sigh at the speed and efficiency of these guys' mining.

Will divided the dark red stone grains into tens, one for each small giant beetle. And told them that if they did not come back by tomorrow morning, then they could go out en masse under the leadership of Storth to forage for food, and eat the stones when they returned. But they have to eat as much as they can according to their condition, and stop when they can't eat. And if there are signs of shelling, you can directly eat the iron ore here and find a quiet place in the stone cave to withdraw the shell.

Will instructed Stoth to take care of all the beetles after he left. If he doesn't come back for a long time, they go out in the morning to feed, and in the afternoon they dig caves before devouring dark red crystals and iron ore. If a beetle is injured or abnormal, stop digging and try to regain its health.

After Will explained the beetles and Stos, Will chose to go offline.

Although Will's landing this time opened up two caves to live in, and ambushed a large number of beetles. Unfortunately, none of his actions met the needs of Homeland's mission.

Although the [Home] quest does not give any mission description, it does have specific quest completion conditions.

1. Storing food that can be consumed for 30 days in a place of residence, and which can be stored until the end of 30 days of consumption.

2. Establish or join a power with a permanent fixed territory, and be recognized by other members or other powers.

3. Build shelters with useful defense mechanisms and store food that can be eaten for seven days in the shelters.

Unfortunately, Will managed to avoid any of these quest completion conditions, and although Stoss was strong, he was a wandering giant beetle so it had no fixed territory. Will allowed the beetles to open a cave, but he didn't store the physical thing. Will's ambushes from Christians 1 to 10 all had their own territories, but Will left with them. From the perspective of the system, Will and his Beetle followers are still in a state of traffic everywhere.

Will didn't get any quest rewards for his withdrawal......!
