Chapter 546: Bandits Appear (7)
At first glance, Shu Lingyi thought it was a piece of mud. There was indeed a lot of mud on it, but the slightly thinner upper end felt soft to the touch, like some kind of gelatinous substance.
"What is this? It's so big." Shu Lingyi was very curious. The whole piece was about 15 centimeters long.
"Chuck, chuck, chuck!" Green Bean Cake kept nodding Shu Lingyi's body with its head and flapping its wings behind her, as if urging Shu Lingyi to move forward.
"You want me to go to where you just dug this thing out?"
After all, Shu Lingyi and the mung bean cake had a spiritual connection, and he quickly understood the meaning of its action.
When I went to the place where the mung bean cakes were being dug, I saw a bigger piece of "mud" in the soil!
The piece in her hand was nothing compared to the one hidden beneath the soil.
Shu Ling's pupils trembled.
"This thing looks like insect eggs..."
Shu Lingyi moved his eyes stiffly back to the piece of "mud" in his hand, ignoring the gum at the front and peeling off the mud more cleanly.
You can see the egg grains at the lower part of the "mud". Each of the yellowish-brown egg grains is as big as a part of her thumb.
You can tell how scary this is with just a little comparison. Ordinary insects cannot possibly have eggs this big.
Unless it was blessed by the game, you should know that during the beginning of summer, the eggs of monsters such as mosquitoes were much larger than the common ones...
Shu Lingyi was brave. She reached out to pinch the egg grains on the edge and tried to pull one off to see if she could bring up the survival atlas so that she could see detailed information.
"Is this thing still a little sticky? It's not easy to pull off."
Shu Lingyi gently pulled twice but it didn't work. The eggs that were pulled became a little transparent, and he could see something moving a few times.
The membrane seemed like it would break at any time, forcing Shu Lingyi to move more gently.
The stalemate lasted for quite a while, and finally Shu Lingyi lost control and broke the egg...
She thought it would be disgusting, and for a moment she wanted to throw her hands away.
The mung bean cake rushed over with some disgust, lowered its head and pecked at the egg mass several times, and ate the juicy eggs directly without the mung bean cake.
It moves quickly and precisely, biting the eggs extremely quickly without damaging the other eggs.
"Mung Bean Cake, you still have such a good job, why don't you help me pick one out."
Shu Lingyi was still squatting on the ground at this time, almost making eye contact with Mung Bean Cake. His peach blossom eyes blinked, staring at Mung Bean Cake with a smile and expectation.
Shu Ling was already familiar with this kind of "beauty offensive" and easily controlled the mung bean cake and made it serve him.
Mung Bean Cake barked twice to show that he understood, and then began to perform the operation, just like eating, and quickly picked out an egg from the egg mass!
"Mung Bean Cake is awesome." Shu Lingyi praised it generously, which was enough to make Mung Bean Cake satisfied, and then launched an "evil force attack" towards the eggs in the soil.
The egg mass hidden in the soil was extremely large, but it seemed far from enough for a mung bean cake.
Green bean cake was eating happily, but Shu Lingyi felt something was wrong after scanning the survival guide!
[Flying locust eggs: a mutated locust with extremely strong reproductive ability and relatively larger body size. It has a huge appetite and will eat anything.
It just prefers to eat plants, leaving no roots or stems behind wherever it passes. 】
Shu Lingyi didn't even see the more detailed description of the flying locust's appearance. Just seeing the information above made his scalp tingle.
"How many egg masses like this are there?" She hardly dared to imagine that there were at least eight hundred insect eggs on the egg mass dug out by the mung bean cake!
The thought that this might be everywhere, and then they will all turn into densely packed locusts that cover the sky and spread everywhere, is really unbearable.
Is there anything more like a robber than a locust?
There is no need to describe them as locusts. Locusts are just robbers, real ones!
This survival atlas also adds some additional information, such as moist soil that has been dry and then lightly rained on will allow the dormant locust eggs to hatch faster!
"So how long ago have these eggs been there? When were they laid in here?"
The more Shu Lingyi thought about it, the more confused he became, especially when was it buried in the ground?
The survival guide also very kindly states that it takes at least thirty days for locust eggs to hatch, but if conditions are not good, they will remain dormant for a while.
When external conditions allow, it may begin to hatch within three days...
"Even if we count from the beginning of autumn, it's already the second day!"
Shu Lingyi felt like crying but had no tears. Tomorrow would be the third day, which meant that all the locust eggs would hatch by tomorrow at the latest!
"Oh my god... this, this, this..."
Shu Lingyi felt that he couldn't move his tongue smoothly and couldn't speak clearly.
His brows were twisted together as if he could pinch a fly to death.
Most of the eggs in the ground had been eaten by the mung bean cakes, but Meng could also see the other half buried in the soil.
Including the ones in my hands, there are at least four or five hundred insect eggs!
"So why did I kill so many chickens yesterday? It's over, there won't be too many locusts in the territory."
Just imagine the nymphs that will emerge from the soil and eat everything...how scary it will be.
[It's fine in the territory. Didn't I ask you to leave some behind? The combat effectiveness is still online. ]
[Why not think about what to do with those outside, especially the mutant species. ]
Xiao Ai gave two consecutive hints, forcing Shu Lingyi to re-examine the locust eggs.
Letting the mung bean cake help him disassemble them, Shu Lingyi obtained more than twenty individual locust eggs.
All of them have been scanned by the survival atlas. The flying locust is also considered a mutant species, and another type of locust egg is called the blue locust.
Both are mutants, one occupies eleven out of twenty eggs, and the other occupies nine.
That is, the ratio is half and half.
[Sky Blue Locust: Fast movement speed, strong jumping ability, extremely fast gnawing speed, eating everything. At the same time, it can ignore the barrier shield and attack in groups, but its flying ability is average. ]
"Having locusts isn't enough? If you add this, won't the territory be extremely dangerous!"
Shu Lingyi couldn't calm down for a while, so he posted this message on the public screen first.
[Yi Ling]: "I have some bad news for you all. Don't kill any flocks of chickens, ducks, or pink starlings you encounter! They are friendly forces!"
【Taro Yuan is not Yu Yuan】: "Ah ha? Boss Yi Yi, what do you mean by that?"
[Xiao Xiao Yangmei]: "Friendly troops? It's over. I'd better give these ducks a proper burial."
【All Trees Are Autumn Colors】: "What about the rabbit? Is it a friendly army? If not, I will continue to kill it, but I must not kill a friendly army by mistake."
