Chapter 18 The Object of Destiny
In this world, is there a special thing called a 'ledger'?
No, there is no ledger in this world, at least not the White Skeleton Dragon, but in order to record the receipt and removal of a large amount of storage, the White Skeleton Dragon uses a special thing to record it.
This kind of thing is a special kind of creature, something called a 'transmitting worm'.
The passerworm is a color-changing creature with a body length of five centimeters. It is a kind of bee-like creature. They like to eat the seeds of plants, and each time they eat a seed, they will show a brightly colored belly on the abdomen. spot.
Through this kind of spot, it can tell what kind of food is around, and each kind of seed is usually displayed with only one color spot, and the size of the spot determines its number.
Usually a passerworm has only a few small spots because they don't find much food nearby.
The white skeleton dragon seems to have known this bug from a long time ago, and uses them to record the abundance of nearby plants, and can also be used to record the number of stored items and so on.
Now, the cubs are showing them this worm, and it's very special...
The passer worm held by this cub has extremely huge spots, which almost cover its whole body and cover its original color, and this is not one color, but dozens of colors are mixed together, which makes Its entire body becomes colorful...
And this kind of phenomenon is impossible to happen outside. In fact, even if the transmission worm sees enough food for hundreds of white skeleton dragons, it will only show a relatively large spot, and it is even more impossible to cover the whole body.
And there are dozens of colors on it, which means that a huge amount of food is gathered in one place. Only a massive pantry has this possibility...
Basically every white dragon knows about this worm. The castle's underground storage room also uses this worm to keep track of the amount of food around.
Crystal Crazy has tried to clean up these bugs. To keep them from sneaking out and being spotted by other dragons, and because they're so small that it's almost impossible to clean up, there's always some left over.
And the bug was discovered by the white skeleton dragon that fell in, and it put it in the hands of the cub.
Although the worm has been frozen to death after being outside for so long, its color is still very good, because the color of this worm is in a special way.
And it also secretes a substance,
It seems that this kind of stuff makes the standing scorpion worm nauseated.
"It's impossible... Is there really so much food?" The two white dragons looked at the worm in the cub's hands in surprise. Because the discoloration and coloring of this one are very different, it is impossible to 'fake'.
"Does the castle really hide a lot of food? Or did you find a place with a lot of food?" The two white dragons still didn't quite believe it...
"This is in the castle! The food that the king hid is in it!" The cub's full-strength shout made the two white dragons stunned... They also seemed to think that this was a real thing...
"I see." One of the white dragons said, "If this is true, we will help you..."
At the same time, Jing Kuang didn't know what happened. It was preparing some troops to go to the sea to find food, but Jing Kuang actually thought it was a very difficult thing.
I don't know if there are so many fish in the water, and the situation is very unclear. Therefore, Jing Kuang decided to send some special soldiers as the team for this hunt.
The so-called 'special' means 'specially useless'. This hunting team is a team of recruits, and if anything goes wrong, they can rely on them.
Crystal mad soon began to move. It gathers the recruits in the castle and makes them bring some fishing gear to go hunting with other dragons.
Although those recruits almost didn't want to go, they couldn't complain in front of Jing Kuang.
But Jing Kuang still decided to use a day and night to make some special hunting tools, because in fact it also expects this hunt to be successful, so the key food problem will be solved, Jing Kuang also specially went to the library to investigate. for a while.
After a day and a night, Jing Kuang walked to the square with the equipped troops, but at this moment...
"King!" A soldier suddenly rushed in from the small door next to the castle gate and said to Jing Kuang, "There are a lot of dragons gathered outside! They are all talking about food storage!"
"Gah?" Jing Kuang said in surprise, "What's going on?"
"We want food!" "King, there must be an explanation!" "Gah! Don't hide the food!"
Jing Kuang walked up the stairs to the top of the city gate, where there was a 'balcony' that could look down. There, it saw a large number of white skeleton dragons gathering in the castle and shouting constantly, and they all asked Jing Kuang questions. , which made Jing Kuang's mind slightly panic.
"Don't scream!" Jing Kuang shouted from the high platform: "There is indeed a storage room under the castle, but it is full of that very deadly...power! If you go in, you will die, and there is no food in it at all. , that's all you saw from that hole last time!"
"I won't die!" Suddenly, a cub walked out of the group of white skeleton dragons. It looked at Jing Kuang and said, "There is nothing at all in it, but you are afraid that we will tell the story of the storage room and let two people A dragon to kill us! There is food in it that can fill many dragons!"
"Yeah." At this time, a white dragon came up and said, "I was there at the time, and I saw that it really fell."
"Gah..." At this time, there was a commotion in the group of White Skeleton Dragons. In fact, most of the White Skeleton Dragons trust Jing Kuang, but they are also feeling doubtful now.
"That cub...?" Jing Kuang looked at it for a moment, it remembered very clearly that it was eaten by worms, but Jing Kuang quickly stabilized his emotions and continued: "Look, after falling in, Crazy, after the last incident, didn't the pups almost die? But crazy is very common!"
"Gah...that's right." "By the way, after that time, many cubs went crazy." When the white dragons remembered that the brain waves affected the island, it was true that the cubs had a higher chance of surviving than the adults, but That doesn't mean brainwaves don't affect them, and madness is common.
"It turned out to be crazy." "It must be so, how could Wang lie to us?"
"Gah..." Under the words of the surrounding white skeleton dragons, the cub became a little nervous and scared, but at this time, two white skeleton dragons stood up from the dragon group and said: "It's not crazy! This is it from the storage room. brought out!"
Saying that, they took out a colorful bug. Although the bug was small, in the hands of this white skeleton dragon, with the scorching sun after the blizzard passed, the colorful luster on this bug was particularly dazzling.
"This is a transfer bug!" "Gah! It's the first time I've seen a transfer bug with this color!" "Is this true?"
"This is only possible if a large amount of food is accumulated in a small place!" The white skeleton dragon continued: "There must be a large amount of food hidden underground, and the king refused to let us eat it, but let us go hunting in the cold and dangerous sea! "
When Jing Kuang saw the bug reflecting in the sun, its panicked mood quickly calmed down.
"Wait a minute!" Jing Kuang shouted, "I've never seen a worm with that color before, right? Because that's not a worm! It's just a very similar species!"
Because Jing Kuang has long known that these bugs are always likely to escape, it also has countermeasures.
Saying that, Jing Kuang turned his head and said a few words to a guard, the guard quickly ran away, and after a while, it brought a jar.
"Look!" Jing Kuang grabbed a handful of worms from the jar, all of which were colorful passers-by, and spilled the worms from the balcony, then said: "These were caught on the top of the castle, There are no plants there!"
"These worms just look like passer worms, but they are a completely different species. They should be born with this color. After seeing this worm, the mad cub may think of a lot of food, of course. It's all just the delusion of a madman!"
"Gah... Indeed, although it looks very similar, I have never seen a passer worm change this color." "That's right...it might be another species."
The group of white skeleton dragons below looked at the transfer bugs that Jingkuang dropped, and believed the words of Jingkuang again. These insects of Jingkuang were actually caught from the underground storage room. , then just come up with some other species that are said to be caught elsewhere.
In this case, no dragon would doubt Crystal Madness.
but……
"Isn't this a magic mushroom?" Suddenly, the white skeleton dragon who was talking to the cub before said.
"Magic mushroom?" The surrounding dragons looked over, only to see a strange yellow mushroom growing on the head of the transfer worm in its hand...
This mushroom is a parasitic fungus, it will parasitize on some bugs, including transfer bugs, and absorb its nutrients to grow a mushroom on the head.
It's no surprise that passers-by grow these mushrooms, but the problem is...
"This mushroom will only grow in a dark environment." The white skeleton dragon said to him, "But why did the king say that it was caught on the castle?"
Jing Kuang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Maybe it has been to a dark place before."
"But as long as the sun shines, this symptom will soon disappear." The white skeleton dragon turned the worm in his hand and saw that there were many hairy hyphae all over its body...
"These silks prove that it has always been in a very dark environment, and it is only possible to get infected by eating seeds!" The white skeleton dragon said: "King, where did you catch this?" (To be continued.. )
