Chapter 19 The Beautiful Side of the Plague

Monte II looked curiously at the beetles in the water...

Their body length is about five centimeters, their armor is as transparent as crystals, and within the carapace there are glowing stars like dots. They swim around in the water, gathering together some glowing threads in the water.

Monte II is most concerned about whether this can be eaten.

In the past, it had other arms to "test poison" for it. Its army used to sweep everything like a storm, but now it has become more timid. If it dies, the entire Aztec The worms are also extinct, and they have no other groups.

Monte II was hesitating, and the small glowing beetles in the water also noticed it. These beetles seemed to be taken aback, and immediately swam and fled to deeper waters.

After watching it for a while, Monte II decided to leave.

It's trying to find other food, maybe some normal food, in this glowing mushroom jungle.

In the middle of the jungle, it flies slowly. Everything here is so novel. The deeper it goes, the more creatures there are. In front of Monte II, a large group of fishes floated, but they could swarm in the air. Swimming floating creatures, on the ground covered with luminous velvet, gathered a group of small creatures. They looked like some small larvae, but they moved very fast.

The characteristics of these creatures are all the same. They have light spots like stars on their bodies, and the positions of these light spots are regularly arranged on their bodies. blue light.

fantastic.

Monte II's brain recorded the information of all its previous ancestors, but none of them had seen creatures and jungles like this.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Monte II heard a strange sound in the jungle ahead, but it didn't want to go there.

Curiosity is necessary, but fear is also very important. Monte II struggled to choose between the two, and it took a second. Finally decided... Go check it out!

It speeded up its wings, flew over a group of fluorescent jellyfish, passed through several huge mushrooms, followed the sound, and came to a strange place.

Here is a clearing in the forest, and all the velvet on the ground is facing one direction - a ball in the center of the clearing.

The ball is white,

It is about five meters in diameter. Quite huge, all the silk threads are connected to this white sphere, and this sphere is still expanding and getting bigger. When it expands to a certain extent, it bursts open with a 'bang', and many diameters fly out of it. About one meter of white pompoms. These pompoms flew high into the air with the impact of the explosion, and then drifted away with the wind.

Did the pompoms I saw before fly out from here? They seem to be connected to this jungle.

While the pompoms feel dangerous, the jungle here doesn't feel dangerous at all.

Monte II found it very strange. Next, it found many similar huge spherical structures in the nearby jungle. They kept expanding and exploding. Then it releases a lot of pompoms, which float off the island with the sea wind and fly to other places.

Monte II didn't care much about where they would go. It didn't go too deep into the island, but returned to the beach. It was already planning to start growing its own group here.

Monte II kept digging on the beach with its jointed limbs, and dug out a hole big enough to stuff itself in. It laid three eggs inside, which it then buried with sand.

Then, Monte II looked for food near the beach. It was only relieved of the food it had seen. It dug out many shellfish creatures hiding in the sand and gravel by the beach, as well as some snails and arthropods. The food here looks It tastes very rich.

Monte II smashed these things with his forelimbs. Then eat it, except for a part that is digested for yourself, and a part that remains in the body.

In this way, Monte II lived here. It digs caves under the beach during the day, and comes out at night to look for marine food. Besides digging shellfish on the beach, it also goes into the water to catch some fish in shallow water.

It doesn't eat that much food by itself. If there is too much food, it will be mixed with a special antibacterial liquid, made into balls and placed in the cave, and it will also lay more eggs.

Although it acts as a brain, it can also live independently.

Of course it doesn't like to live independently, so it looks forward to the moment when the group recovers.

After a few days and nights, the earliest eggs laid by Monte II began to hatch. They were not adults at first, but white larvae like worms. This larvae had sharp double jaws, but the speed was very slow. , cannot be used for combat, but they can be used to secrete a kind of mucus to strengthen the structure of the entire cave.

At the same time, they can also be used to dig deep caves. At this time, the larvae need to eat the food prepared for them by Monte II, and they will grow slowly.

After a few days and nights, more eggs hatched, and Monte II needed to catch more food. Although it was a bit hard, it had calculated the number of larvae that its own catching ability could bear, so it did not produce too many Eggs, and slowly, some longer and larger larvae begin to wrap themselves in a kind of silk thread, and they begin to morph inside into the shape of adults.

This process only takes two days and nights, and the adults will dig out the silk threads that wrap themselves and drill out of it.

Although they are all small species, Monte II finally has his own troops!

It made the first three adults dig shellfish continuously during the night to obtain more food. Recently, Monte II found a large number of small marine worms gathering in an area of ​​the beach, and obtained a large amount of food. The population of Monte II began to increase rapidly. It produced more eggs, and at the same time laid eggs of some large species and flying species. When the opportunity is ripe, Monte II also plans to create a deep sand bus, so that it can be here. The island is invincible.

Invincible?

Monte II is still unclear about the status of the island and cannot make a conclusion yet.

When there were more than ten troops, Monte II let several adults into the jungle and let them try to devour some mushrooms,

After eating the mushrooms, the adults seemed to have no problems and could easily digest the mushrooms.

After that, Monte II began to let the troops eat mushrooms, and the lair on the beach was also ready to be transferred to the forest.

But just when it walked into the forest with its troops, eggs, and larvae, it found a large group of creatures surrounding it...

It was the little beetle that Monte II had seen before. (to be continued...)
