Chapter 408 Breeding Life-Sustaining Insects
The bamboo forest needs to raise life-extending insects, and with the mineral marrow secretly placed there beforehand, this planet is her only hope, and its value is quite high.
Therefore, she is now urgently arming herself with power, as the threats from the Star Path of the Dark Domain and the alien beasts in the Starry Sky have always been there, and her planet currently does not even have a defensive shield.
Although many planets below the third rank do not have defensive shields, Gu Qing wants to gradually transform her planet into a highly defensive planet like the Imperial Capital.
High-level defensive anchors are certainly expensive, but the most crucial point is that they need to be custom-made in advance, and she also needs to prepare some materials herself, which she currently lacks both money and materials. This relates to the functions and effectiveness of some anchors.
If you have nothing, then all you can do is the most basic defense, purification, and temperature control. Like the lightning counterattack on Imperial Capital Star One, or the hidden planets on Imperial Capital Star Two, and so on.
They all require specific materials and the driving force of crystal nuclei.
Not only does this family not provide it, but if you have special requests, they will also increase the production cost. These are all things she cannot afford right now.
In one month, Gu Qing purified twelve more combatants. Because the previous exchanges went smoothly and contracts were signed, these people also devoted themselves to the construction of the planet.
Although they did not undergo deep purification, long-term, singular spiritual purification still had an impact on their spiritual bodies and themselves.
Otherwise, with such harsh contract terms, some people would inevitably feel somewhat unwilling after everything was settled. Now, everyone treats each other with affection, which is a win-win situation.
There's also good news: the Federal Star Network is now fully connected, so Gu Qing and the others can access the holographic system again.
This is truly fantastic news for people who have been without internet for two months.
Gu Qing didn't immediately experience this excitement, because today was the time when the life-extending insects entered their nests, and the logistics department was making the most of the time to purify the bamboo forest.
Then, the life-extending insects were allowed to live in the nest, and they were fed continuously using special methods and materials. Finally, the life-extending insects entered the nest and began to reproduce.
The bamboo forest where the life-extending insect lives is a purified exotic plant, and the insect itself is a purifying exotic beast, so it naturally attracts other exotic plants and beasts in the wild.
In the previous woods, there were exotic birds guarding the area, so here they were the only ones left to wait. Qi Bai and Liao Wen brought along Bai Xiao, Guan Yang, Wei Chen, and others who had signed contracts.
As these life-extending insects entered their nest, they emitted a scent that attracted small, strange beasts from the surrounding area, and sparse sounds also reached the ears of these people.
“It’s a fire ant.” With his near-2S level and rich experience in pioneering new lands, Wei Chen was able to identify the type of beast faster than others.
"This is troublesome. Why didn't we find it during the cleaning?" Guan Yang frowned. Ants, regardless of their type, always swarm together.
Fire ants are large in population and size. They release a poisonous flame, and can easily cause poisoning even without inhaling it, just by touching the skin.
"We didn't find them during the cleanup. It's possible that we happened to be in the fire ants' hibernation period. It's currently the queen's egg-laying period, so they're moving around to store up energy." Bai Xiao led the cleanup team and was quite familiar with the situation.
"Qingqing, you go back to the inner part of the plantation first. The rest of you, first determine the level of the ant colony, and then check your antidote pills." Qi Bai instructed the people to come up with a solution at the same time.
Gu Qing quickly searched for the encyclopedia of alien plants printed in the smart brain. Although it did not contain knowledge about alien beasts, it would introduce some of them when introducing a profession.
For example, some exotic plants have the effect of making exotic beasts go berserk, etc. When she was looking up information before, she seemed to have seen exotic plants that had an effect on this group of fire ants.
The fire ants gave them no time at all; their finger-sized, jet-black bodies, covered in red and blue flames, swooped down at low altitude towards them.
The upper jaw was extremely powerful, and those bitten would suffer from fire poison. Although Qi Bai and his group were well-dressed, some still managed to escape the overwhelming attack.
The wound was burning with pain, and as the pain intensified, even the spirit body began to feel it. The antidote was stuffed into the mouth as if it were free.
However, the low-level insects were ineffective, and the high-level ones only provided slight relief. But they couldn't retreat, otherwise the life-saving insects in this bamboo forest would likely become food for the fire ants.
