The forest was densely covered with gray, and as you walked deeper into it, it became completely gray, making it impossible to see the night and day. In the white mist, there were only one or two insects chirping occasionally in the distance, and there was no sound at all.

"It's so quiet here." Liu Siyan couldn't help but sigh.

Zhong Han signaled Liu Siyan not to speak, and looked around cautiously. There were only five people left in the team, and they were already moving much more carefully. There was only half a meter between them, and they were almost following each other closely.

The one walking in the front was Maozhou City, followed by Mao Qingming and the mechanical legs carrying backpacks and other items, followed by Maozhou Rui, Liu Siyan and Zhong Han.

Liu Siyan glanced at Zhong Han in confusion. There were more trees. Although this was a high-end food area, when poultry were raised in the past, it was also used as a poultry breeding area. Therefore, the more dangerous beasts were

was cleared out.

"Do you know why it's so quiet? Are the areas we walked through half a day ago much busier than here?" Zhong Han didn't answer, but asked instead. "Why is it so quiet? What do you think?"

Liu Siyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that there was only one possibility, that is, there was a beast that other small wild animals were very afraid of, and they did not dare to approach it, so they were so quiet.

Thinking of this possibility, Liu Siyan didn't dare to speak for a moment, and even moved much softer, following Mao Zhourui step by step forward.

We have reached the area marked on the map where the ink snake appears, and the silence around it indicates that there is a high possibility of the existence of the ink snake. This is because the ink snake is an omnivore with a vicious nature and likes birds, squirrels, rabbits and other small animals.

"Take a rest first." Mao Qingming glanced at the time. When it was time to feed, they didn't make it. Therefore, for the evening meal, they could only eat the same food as before.

The food that Mao Qingming feeds is very surprising, which is the most basic Yukun melon. Moreover, these two days have been the mature season of Yukun melon, and there are many Yukun melons in almost many breeding areas.

Mao Qingming cut open the jade kun melon, carefully processed the jade kun melon into a small dice, and then took out his insect hat.

Zhong Han and Liu Siyan both watched Mao Qingming's feeding movements, and Maozhou City and Maozhou Rui also started feeding. In order to be consistent, even Zhong Han and Liu Siyan kept their insect feeding time consistent with Mao Qingming and the others.

.

Zhong Han also sat down with Liu Siyan and took out his own food, a second-level mushroom that also performed well in terms of insect properties.

Mao Qingming took a look at their food and did not express any opinion. Instead, he started to eat after finishing feeding his own insects. He did not waste the remaining jade quince melons and ate them.

Maozhou City and Maozhou Rui also had almost the same feeding method. After feeding Yu Kun Gua, he nibbled on the extra Yu Kun Gua. Mao Zhou Rui took a look at the mushrooms fed by Zhong Han and Liu Siyan and couldn't help laughing.

Liu Siyan immediately looked over with displeasure, "Why are you laughing? Your talents are already high, so there is no need to laugh at others."

When Mao Qingming saw this, and Zhong Han and Liu Siyan had followed them across the mountains without a single complaint, he now had some affection for the two of them. He could understand that Mao Zhourui had a bad temper and looked down on people, but at this moment, their

The team cannot be any shorter.

"Come here, you guys." Mao Qingming said suddenly. Zhong Han was stunned for only a second, and immediately took his insect and sat next to Mao Qingming, and Liu Siyan quickly followed.

Maozhou City and Maozhou Rui glanced at each other, but said nothing.

Mao Qingming took the two insects in his hands and turned them over several times, then took out an instrument and examined the insects.

Zhong Han's is a larva of the Silver Moon Leopard Swallowtail butterfly, while Liu Siyan's is a Rice-browed Eye butterfly.

"The two of you have pretty good insect talents, and it's entirely possible for you to break into the top ten." Mao Qingming said.

"You mean, mine can be... too?" Liu Siyan could hardly believe her ears.

"Yes, do you know what is the most important thing about insects?" Mao Qingming asked patiently.

Zhong Han and Liu Siyan didn't understand, and they were stunned. Fortunately, Mao Qingming didn't want to embarrass them, but was used to this kind of rhetorical question, so he put their insects in the breeding box and let them

He just continued to eat and then spoke.

"The most important thing about insect breeding is the change of insect genes, changing the insect's ability to absorb insects through food, which is what we often call insect talent." Mao Qingming said, trying to be simple and easy to understand, even though it is just insects.

The four words "material talent" include various transformations and gene arrangements that are very complex.

Zhong Han nodded and listened carefully.

"So, you see, my hat is eating the simplest Yukun melon, and it can reach even higher values ​​than you eating high-end food. This is because it can be done through special medicine."

Zhong Han was a little confused, what were the food and the special medicine?

"To be honest, my research found that among those types of foods that were once used as high-end foods, some foods have such effects, and our Mao's special medicine actually extracts the active ingredients in this kind of food.

Zhong Han finally understood something, and things began to slowly connect together. The ink snake left in the cave of the cliff was probably not a coincidence, but was left behind specifically for Mao Qingming's experiment, and in the cave

, he seemed to hear Mao Qingming saying that the experiment had reached the most critical step, but the data was lost.

Therefore, the ink snake is the key.

Zhong Han nodded immediately to show that he understood. Seeing that Zhong Han understood, Liu Siyan felt that she could understand too, so she nodded accordingly.

"You mean the black snake?" Zhong Han asked when he saw that Mao Qingming was still looking at him, as if waiting for his answer.

"Well, it's the Black Snake. As long as we catch the Black Snake, I only need six of them to disappear and I can develop a special medicine. By then, there is great hope that you two will improve your insect talents."

When Maozhou City heard this, their hearts moved. Although they had always been aware of this special medicine, thinking about the fact that they would have a new breakthrough in insect pests tomorrow, and that Mao Qingming said it himself, their hearts became more stable.

"Don't worry, we will do our best to catch the black snake." Zhong Han said immediately.

"Hiss—" At this moment, a hissing sound came from the instrument hanging on Maozhou City's waist, and both of them immediately stood up.

Mao Qingming immediately started packing his things quickly.

"Hide the insects quickly, these things eat insects." Mao Qingming said quickly.

Liu Siyan immediately took her and Zhong Han's breeding box and stuffed it into her schoolbag, holding it tightly in her hands. Then she heard the sound of leaves rustling, as if someone was shaking the trunk, but in the thick fog, she couldn't see where at all.
