Holding high the Locust and Mushroom Insect Sword, the Four-Armed Vajra followed a locust and walked deep into the oasis. The locust had its mouthparts removed and was tied with a rope extended from the material of the Four-Armed Vajra.
Only the locust knows where the ancient locust is.
"Xiaosi, you and Huang Taixian are here to guard my module components. I'll come as soon as I can." Before Shen Cong left, he left the big bicycle and the pyramid chariot in a secret place.
There may be a large-scale battle with locust swarms here, and bringing Wong Tai Sin and big bicycles with them will not be of much use.
The four-legged dragon was lying on the big bicycle, holding its head high, and responded arrogantly: "Xiaosi looks at it... no one dares to move... hurry up and do your work."
Shen Cong glanced at Wong Tai Sin and continued to say to the four-legged dragon: "By the way, keep an eye on Wong Tai Sin and don't let it run around."
"It doesn't dare, Xiaosi beats it!"
"Haha." Shen Cong laughed dryly and drove away.
The mountains covered by the oasis belong to the Dabie Mountains, the old revolutionary base. Huoshan Mountain is only the core scenic spot of the Dabie Mountains. The Dabie Mountains lie at the junction of the three provinces of Hubei, Henan and Anhui and belong to the Jianghuai watershed. The water from the northern foot flows into the Huaihe River and the water from the southern foot flows into the Yangtze River. The scenery is very beautiful. posture.
When the historian Sima Qian visited the Dabie Mountains, he saw the blooming flowers in the south of the mountain and the snow-capped north of the mountain. He exclaimed: "This mountain is very different from other mountains!"
So the mountains in this area were called Dabie Mountains.
Of course, today's Dabie Mountains have changed their appearance. Barrier lakes and Great Rift Valleys can be seen everywhere. Obviously, they have been severely impacted by the movement of tectonic plates.
Seven circles and eight circles.
After walking for a day and a night, Shen Cong finally drove the four-armed King Kong over the mountains and arrived at the place named Daqi Mountain on the map.
After arriving here, Shen Cong immediately used the Sky Eye Radar and found signs of a locust swarm.
Immediately turning on the camouflage color, the 70B system began to crawl quietly, approaching the location of the locust group, and gradually climbed up a hill.
Looking from the top of the mountain, you can have a clear view of the entire locust swarm.
Among the locust groups, a very small number of small locusts are practicing flying and hunting. These are probably newborn locusts. Most of the other normal-sized locusts are lying in the woods, cliffs and other places, quietly dormant. Roughly count them. , there are probably more than a thousand locusts.
This is not the total number. A large number of flying locusts should not have returned.
Or come back and leave again.
"It stands to reason that the locusts were intercepted by me and more than five or six hundred of them died. Such a big incident should come back to talk to the ancient locusts. The ancient locusts may already know some of my information. I have to pay attention and observe secretly first."
In this locust colony, Shen Cong did not find any huge locusts yet.
I did see a few locusts with big bellies.
In production.
From the belly of a big-bellied locust, a somewhat oval-shaped irregular egg puffed out, rolling down among the rocks. Within a few seconds, another egg puffed out, and it continued for ten minutes. More than thirty eggs.
After laying eggs, the big-bellied locust chirped a few times, then flapped its wings and flew away.
"Just ignore the eggs laid?" Shen Cong was wondering when he saw the trees behind the hillside shaking, and then a huge locust came out of the cave.
The locust's wings have deteriorated.
It can only bounce on its hind legs, and then glide briefly to rush to the hillside where the big-bellied locusts lay their eggs.
"Chirp!"
"Chirp!"
"Chirp!"
The small locusts practicing flying circled around the giant locust. The giant locust raised its head and let out a louder "chirp" to disperse the group of small locusts.
Then he lowered his head and began to look at the insect eggs among the rocks.
The mountains in the distance.
Shen Cong wore a hell plant suit, turned on camouflage, stood on the roof of the four-armed Vajra, and quietly observed the huge locust: "Is this an ancient locust?"
The appearance of the giant locust is basically consistent with the information Shen Cong obtained from the communication between the three locusts.
It is not good at flying, has a huge body, and is chased by small locusts.
"The distance is a bit far, and the talent cannot be sensed, but based on the size analysis, the ancient locust is also a super golden beast level. Although it is an ancient locust, it is actually a locust that has mutated for less than two years. It should be in the mature stage. It doesn't feel like it can What it looks like to develop advanced wisdom.”
Then he self-denied this view: "It's hard to say that evolution can no longer be calculated in time... Changes in the brain provide hardware for the generation of wisdom, and the return of the locust swarms will bring about learning from experience. It is really possible to produce a perfect Wisdom, high-frequency cutters should be the applications brought about by wisdom."
At this time, the ancient locust seemed to have looked at the pile of eggs, stretched out its barbed forelimbs, pushed aside the piled eggs, picked out two eggs, and hung them on its forelimbs.
Then he turned around, kicked off his hind legs, fluttered his vestigial wings, and glided back.
When the ancient locusts left, those little locusts immediately rushed down in a swarm and began to eat the eggs abandoned by the ancient locusts. After a while, they ate all the eggs.
"Interesting." Seeing this scene, Shen Cong silently made a calculation in his mind.
He guessed that the behavior of ancient locusts and young locusts should have become the routine of the locust group, which means that every time a female locust lays eggs, she is treated in this way.
"Then why after the ancient locust took away two eggs, the remaining eggs were abandoned... Could it be that among these eggs, those two are special, and the others... are simply inactivated eggs?"
Evolution has reached the Lv4-Nebula era. Because the locust group replaces quickly and has different evolutionary stages, it may cause problems with the survival of eggs.
It is useless to speculate on the specific reasons.
After observing secretly for a long time, Shen Cong began to sneak towards the hillside where the ancient locusts were. The journey went smoothly, and no locusts could detect Shen Cong. Even if Shen Cong accidentally made a noise, it would only be blown by the locusts as wind and the rocks would roll down.
The hillside where the ancient locusts live has very lush vegetation.
However, the mountain is full of cracks, as if it was almost shaken and collapsed in a major earthquake. There are also many holes that look like they were dug out, hiding them.
Shen Cong came to the entrance of one of the caves, where he saw the ancient locust crawling out.
The entrance of the cave looks inward, and the heavenly eye scans.
Everything was quickly understood. There was a cave in this cave, or the cracks in the mountain were densely packed, extending into the cave space. In Shen Cong's observation, this cave was connected to other caves outside, and eventually led to the depths of the mountain. In a lava cave.
"There is actually a magma cave hidden here? There is no erupting volcano?" Shen Cong followed the cave and walked forward cautiously.
The cave was filled with the smell of sulfur, and there was the harsh noise of the wind blowing through the cracks.
Where the passage connects to the magma cave is a huge cave. The ancient locust is lying in the cave, sleeping soundly. The rock walls around the cave are inlaid with dense eggs.
For some eggs, you can clearly see that something is moving inside, as if it wants to burst the egg shell.
This is not only the rest room of the ancient locusts, but also a nursery.
