Chapter 12 Star Falling Insect
When communicating with the earth, Mo Lan's body did not lose consciousness. Although she didn't know what the principle was, she could do multiple things at the same time but would not feel like she was working hard.
Originally, she could only drag the corpse of the second family with bad luck, but Mo Lan suddenly felt that she might be able to open a second base and expand her territory. She lived in the cave before, but with more Zergs in hatched, there would be no space.
So he pulled Xiao Jiang back. This time, the Six-Eyed Bears family was obviously not as rich as the other family. The nest was just a small cave. Compared with the Three- or Four-meter-high height of Six-Eyed Bears, it looked particularly narrow and did not occupy a height or geographical advantage. There were not many prey nearby.
But she didn't want to do it for nothing. Mo Lan didn't dislike it. The four worker insects had already cleaned up the garbage inside, so she went in and took a look.
At this time, Mo Lan's eyes narrowed instantly, and turned around to look at Xiao Jiang who seemed to know nothing.
"Yingyingyingyingyingyingyingyingying" Three somewhat malnourished six-eyed bears were screaming, the strongest one was crawling towards the largest figure in their field of vision, and the other two were lying on the ground with their front legs, but there was no progress for a meter in a long time.
Xiao Jiang, let the cub go again!
"Has he awakened his memory?" Shiqi asked in Mo Lan's ear. It knew what happened last time.
"No, its spiritual nodes have nothing." Mo Lan frowned tightly. It would be fine if there was anything. The problem was that she checked several times. Xiao Jiang's spiritual nodes were obviously very normal. They were just like ordinary Zerg's blank appearance, without any specialness.
"Maybe it's the instinct in the gene? It won't harm the weak."
Shi Qi summarized his outdated information and helped Mo Lan make a judgment.
"How could there be such an instinct..." Mo Lan shook her head. The so-called instincts passed down from genes mean that one does not rely on thinking about the body to do more conducive to survival, and the other is the logic of physical behavior in the face of a specific environment or a specific organism.
The former is like babies absorb milk, while the latter is like fish swimming in the water, birds flying, and more complex ones include the disguise of chameleons, etc.
It does not harm the weak, it is just that humans, such as ideological and moral creatures, impose on their own consciousness and violate the instinct of survival. It is impossible to establish without independent consciousness.
If there is no food in a closed space, there is a cub with no resistance in front of it, and a powerful beast, perhaps some people will choose to fight the powerful beast and strengthen their moral shackles.
But what if you are in an unconscious state, without thinking or thinking ability, and relying solely on instinct, what are the choices you make?
Mo Lan shook her head and didn't think about such complicated things. If something really happened, she would wait until it happened. She pursed her lips and her expression suddenly became even more difficult to describe.
I won’t say that Xiao Jiang let the cubs go after defeating the Six-Eyed Bear’s parents, but these four workworms arranged to work here actually ignored these cubs.
Mo Lan watched with her own eyes that the worker worms who were about to move the stones to another place naturally bypassed the six-eyed bear crawling around the ground as they passed...
Mo Lan held her forehead, probably when she left the two six-eyed bear cubs before, she ordered her to not eat the cubs as food in the spiritual network, so that the worker insects would also divide the three six-eyed bear cubs into the category that they could not eat, so she ignored them directly.
Is it really good that her group of Zergs is so kind?!
But these six-eyed bear cubs were alive, and they had two of them before, so it would be no different if there were three more. Mo Lan no longer hesitated and asked Xiong Er to come and pack them up and take them back.
Workers can do this too. They can easily carry things that are more than ten times their weight. However, for cubs who have just been born for more than a month, the workers' hard shell is really not suitable for mounts. Most of Xiong Er's body is flesh and blood, which is much more suitable.
Xiong Er has been idle since he hatched. Mo Lan thought about it now and asked Xiong Er to do some transport work. Although he does not have the exaggerated ability to carry a work of work, it is still OK for Xiong Er to move an object that weighs several times his own weight. She can't let her raise idle insects and eat dry food.
As for hunting, because the large prey has escaped to other places, most of the remaining creatures are small and flexible. However, Xiong Er has gained great strength and is not flexible enough in speed, which is far less useful than soldier worms and spider worms.
To sum up, it is still a good deal to carry.
After looking around, Mo Lan reluctantly lifted up the thin armor on the spider's butt again, placed a new combination of melting membranes and hatching nests, recycled the corpses of the two six-eyed bears into nine more parts of energy, hatched three soldier insects, two spider insects and four worker insects, which will be her second stronghold in the future.
Mo Lan walked out of the cave again, and the sky was darkened, and huge stars shone in the sky. This was the first time she saw night on a different planet. The point that this planet was not similar to that on earth was that its rotation time was not twenty-four hours, but thirty-six days, that is, eighteen consecutive days and eighteen days of darkness.
Or maybe the timekeeping on this planet is completely different from that on Earth, but Mo Lan is used to recording time on Earth.
The six-eyed bear will grow three pairs of eyes, which is not as long as the night here. After all, losing the ability to night vision is equivalent to trapping yourself in a very dangerous situation.
Fortunately, the night had no effect on the Zerg, and there were even a lot of bonuses, and Mo Lan's vision in the dark was still clear.
There was a silver glimmer at the top of the Kahul tree, like some sequins were pasted. Against the backdrop of the stars in the sky, it seemed like the Milky Way flowing on the ground.
"What is that?" Mo Lan exclaimed. This scene was so beautiful. She must take a screenshot on the forum to show the group of people.
"Star-falling insects, like the stars falling in the sky, can absorb sufficient sunlight during the day and emit light at night." Shi Qi gave an explanation.
"It sounds like a fireflies." Mo Lan thought of the little bugs on the earth.
"But in reality, that's just their means to capture their prey."
Shi Qi signaled Mo Lan to see.
An unknown bird flew past, aimed at one of the glowing light sources and took it over.
The leaves swayed, and several long tentacles suddenly rushed out of it, wrapping the bird that was thrown into the dark mouth covered by the leaves.
"What shines is just a little decoration on it." Shi Qi showed Mo Lan the real picture of the star falling insect.
It is a sarcoma-like creature covered with tentacles. The middle part is their mouthparts, which can expand to the size of the entire body. The luminous part is part of those tentacles, and it can absorb and release light like fluorite at the tip.
They will put the luminous soft tentacle tips on the leaves and disguise them as the light emitted by leaves or some small insects. When prey with a small size is approaching, they will use the tentacles next to them to quickly tie up and swallow them.
If the prey is too large, it will wisely break the tentacles to protect itself.
Mo Lan's expression was a little disillusioned. She thought that a creature like a fireflies was actually a tentacle monster! Mom, there was actually a tentacle monster on this planet!
"They will choose a tree when they are very young, and hide in the canopy of this tree from now on, and grow and develop with the tree." Shi Qi spoke slowly, finding the part it wanted from the vast sea of clouds.
"Unlike other insects that live by parasitizing on plants and relying on the plant to absorb their own nutrition, star bugs are creatures that only treat companion trees as simply residences."
"Their life and death will not have any impact on the companion tree, whether it is harm or benefit."
"It's like falling stars, the light that flashes by, but leaves no trace."
Mo Lan blinked, and her disgust for the tentacles suddenly disappeared a little, only a little.
"Is the star bug very powerful?" Mo Lan looked up and saw that she was in a relatively thin open space of the Kahul tree, so you can see the tip of the canopy of the Kahul tree that is hundreds of meters high.
At such a high position, climbing a tree from below seems to be a waste of money, and flying over will be captured and swallowed like that bird. Isn’t it very strong?
"Why do you think so?" Shiqi was puzzled. It seemed that it had never said that the star insect was very powerful.
"Uh..." Mo Lan was about to speak when he saw a group of birds flying over there. They rushed towards the star insects that had just been exposed. The leaves swayed, and a group of birds rushed in and had a big feast. They all flew away without any trace.
Mo Lan was shocked, no, didn’t he just kill him?
"The star-falling insect itself is very fragile and can only face individual prey. Prey beyond its ability will in turn become predators."
"And, at such a high height, the star worms will fall to death if they fall. Perhaps it is the reason why they will not replace it after choosing a companion tree."
The life of a star falls into the worm is only spent in the canopy it chooses.
Mo Lan didn't know what to say, but she was full of respect for the unknown world. Not only the earth, but also the other world have more and more wonderful life existences.
"What a magical nature." Mo Lan sighed.
“…”
Mo Lan noticed that Shi Qi was looking at her, and seemed to have something to say, blinking, "Is there anything else? Shi Qi."
"Don't you think the star-falling insect is suitable?" Shi Qi paused for a moment, and his luck became a little complicated.
“What’s the right one?”
Mo Lan thought for a while, but had no idea.
"Don't your Zerg lacks stronger combat power?" Shi Qi released the information about Xingluozeng again.
"Star fallen insects are insects themselves, and their gene adaptability is very high. Simple fusion genes should not be difficult, but they can directly improve the combat capability of the Zerg and solve your most important problem of incubation energy shortage."
The Zerg Queen turned out to be me! Mo Lan covered her face. She, the Zerg Queen, had never thought of this at all. The most suitable Zerg was the insect life.
But……
"What are you fighting with tentacles!"
