Chapter 2086 cruel game
Perhaps the insects were more powerful in resistance, perhaps because Huan was unwilling to force the insects too much, and the speed of leaning towards the Ancestral Immortal Tomb was much slower than when they came by themselves. However, in fact, their speed was still quite fast to ordinary people, so they were sent by Huan to the Ancestral Immortal Tomb, and to be more precise, near the holes on it.
As they approached the holes, the struggles of the insects became even more powerful, as if the holes were extremely harmful to them at this time. At first, Meng Xiang thought that the size of the holes could no longer be allowed to enter. If they were forced into it, it would cause great harm to them. However, he soon discovered that this seemed to be the case, and they should be afraid of something else.
What exactly made them so afraid of? Meng Xiang could not guess for a moment, but he believed that Huan should know, otherwise she would not have done so. What happened next also confirmed his guess, and the truth appeared faster than he expected.
In the process of resisting the illusion, wisps of things similar to smoke spread out from their bodies. As time goes by, this blue smoke becomes more and more numerous and the spread range becomes larger and larger. Soon they spread to the front of the small holes in the tomb of the Ancestral Immortal, and some have even penetrated into the small holes.
It didn't take long, and in less than thirty breaths, Meng Xiang heard a familiar sound, the sound of the little bugs coming out of the tomb of the Ancestral Immortal, but it seemed more rapid. Obviously, something similar was about to come out of the small holes, and they were faster.
Meng Xiang's spirit was immediately revived, his eyes staring at the small holes tightly, and even because of excessive concentration, his eyes began to shine because his feelings told him that the answer he was waiting for should appear soon, and the facts did not disappoint his expectations. The answer really appeared soon.
Like lightning, black shadows flew out from the holes, turning into faint shadows, rushing towards the insects controlled by the phantom. When they appeared, the little bugs also showed unprecedented anxiety. It was obvious that what they were afraid of was the black shadows.
At this time, Meng Xiang's eyesight once again helped him a lot, allowing him to see the true faces of the black shadows in a very short period of time. Judging from his appearance, they should be of the same kind as the little bugs before, but their temperament seemed more fierce, and he could also see an urgent need from their performance, as if he wanted to get something.
Their target should be those bugs that have eaten and drunk enough. Meng Xiang quickly made a judgment as he looked at the performance of the black shadows, but in fact the newly reappeared bugs did not pounce directly on the newly reappeared bugs, but instead circled around them and continued to absorb the blue smoke emitted from their bodies.
After absorbing some blue smoke, the bugs that had newly emerged from the caves on the Tomb of the Ancestral Immortal slowly became quiet. However, Meng Xiang could still see that they seemed to be preparing to please the newly reappeared bugs, but it seemed that they also had some concerns and did not dare to rush over directly.
Meng Xiang looked at the two groups of insects with a strange relationship. He showed an expectant look in his eyes. Obviously, he was looking forward to what was going to happen between them, and he also believed that something would definitely happen between them, otherwise Huan would not have used so many hands and feet to get them together.
As time went by, Meng Xiang found that the relationship between the two batches of insects began to change. Before, the insects that had been treated seemed even more uneasy. Now their anxiety is slowly disappearing, and even trying to approach the bugs that appeared backwards, while the bugs that appeared later appeared in dodge, as if they were afraid that they would approach them. The situation was completely opposite to when they first appeared.
After a while, as the group of insects arrived later absorbed more blue smoke that escaped from the bodies of the first batch of insects, the fear they showed was slowly disappearing, and they resisted the approach of the first batch of insects, and even became as active as they had just come out.
There was no slap, and now both sides showed their feelings and mutual wishes, so they naturally hit it off. However, after the two groups of insects really got together, what happened was beyond Meng Xiang's expectations. Although he had guessed that various situations would happen after they had contact, what really happened was not within the situation he guessed.
After the two batches of insects came into contact, they immediately started mating, and Meng Xiang could see that the group of insects that arrived later should be male. However, Meng Xiang's surprise lasted for a short time. After all, he had seen various situations along the way. Not to mention mating between insects, he had seen mating between various animals more than once, but he didn't expect that they would do such things after they came into contact.
After regaining his calmness, Meng Xiang also had doubts in his heart. It was because he had not seen the mating process between insects that he was surprised by their behavior. When this happens between insects, their behavior is not like them, but he soon felt relieved.
He had seen mating between insects before, but after all, he had never seen mating such insects. It was no surprise that they seemed a little different. He decided to continue reading, and he believed that the truth would eventually be revealed to his eyes, because things had already happened.
As time went by, Meng Xiang finally understood why the behavior of those insects seemed a bit strange, because the mating process was indeed a bit unique. The female insects, that is, the first batch of insects that appeared, actually began to bite the male insects after mating to a certain extent, and it was not just biting, but eating them.
The size of the male insects that arrived later turned out to be smaller than the female insects that had been treated. In addition, the female insects were merciless after they started to bite, so soon the poor male insects were eaten and only the hard armor was left.
Seeing that the male insects mate with the female insects were eaten, the other male insects were uneasy and even started to escape. However, the female insects who tasted the male insects showed an unsatisfactory state and decided to taste the male insects' feast, but they did not rush towards the male insects who were about to retreat. It was not that they changed their minds and were ready to let the poor guys go, but that they didn't need to do this at all, because they had more labor-saving and clever means to let them fall into the trap.
Stronger blue smoke escaped from the female insects' bodies and spread at an extremely fast speed. Before the male insects escaped, they enveloped them. The blue smoke seemed to have a fatal attraction to them, which could make them forget the fear of death. As soon as they arrived in front of them, they began to swallow vigorously.
Seeing this, Meng Xiang couldn't help but shake his head slightly, because in his opinion, their actions were no different from seeking death, and the facts were the same. After absorbing the blue smoke, the male insects' behavior changed drastically. Not only did they stop escaping, but instead took the initiative to lean towards the female insects, as if they had forgotten that they had just treated a batch of male insects as snacks.
There is no suspense about what happened below. The second batch of male insects that were automatically delivered to the door soon became the ones who seemed a little hungry and food. No, it should be said that the female insects with excessive appetite were delicious, and those poor male insects only had the remaining armor to confirm that they had existed.
Through this method, the female insects killed batch after batch of male insects. After the second batch of male insects were eaten, the female insects seemed dissatisfied and actively sent the blue smoke radiated from their bodies into the holes located in the tomb of the Ancestral Immortals. The new male insects were attracted, and then the repetition of the above situation.
Seeing this cruel and weird show, Meng Xiang felt a little interested at first. But soon his interest disappeared, and his heart was replaced by doubts because he couldn't see what this situation had to do with the purpose of their trip. Could it be that this could be found in this way? What's more important is that until now he could not be sure that these bugs were star beetles.
However, as a holy immortal, Meng Xiang still has basic patience, which soon cleared the distractions in his heart and decided to wait patiently. He believed that even if the truth was hidden below the water for the time being, it would definitely surface. The problem was just the length of time.
Time passes by the repetition of behavior between female insects and male insects. Since female insects solve male insects faster and there is a tendency to get faster and faster afterwards, it has not been too long since. Every time the female insect kills more than twenty male insects.
After eating so many male insects, Meng Xiang found that the changes in the female insects were not very big. He only saw that their size was more than twice as big as before they started killing, and their body shape seemed a little bloated. However, there was no new changes in their behavior, and they were still ready to continue to reach out to the poor male insects, and they seemed even more greedy.
However, it seems that the number of male insects located in the holes in the Tomb of the Ancestral Immortal is limited. After each of the female insects killed about thirty male insects on average, Meng Xiang had already seen other male insects coming out of the holes, which made Meng Xiang's heart move and knew that the situation had come to an end.
The female insects seemed not to think so, and continued to force out more blue smoke from their bodies and kept pouring into the holes located in the tomb of the Ancestral Immortal. At first, Meng Xiang thought that their actions were a manifestation of intellectual retardation. It was not obvious that there were no other male insects. What they did was useless, but he soon discovered that his idea was wrong and very wrong.
About a quarter of an hour later, Meng Xiang heard the sound of insects crawling for the third time, but the sound he heard this time was obviously different from the previous two times. In addition to being slow, he could also feel a sense of calmness and even a sense of majesty, as if the existence that was about to appear had a very identity.
