Chapter 4735 Stone Nest
The small stone clan who came out of the cave were also about a foot tall, with sharp edges and corners on their bodies and bright luster, which was obviously different from the clansmen who were responsible for carrying the stones just now.
It seems that everyone is about the same number. There are more than 1,000 small stone tribes that invaded, and the same is true for the small stone tribes who came out of the cave.
The two sides lined up at the entrance of the cave, separated from each other by a distance of hundreds of feet.
The little stone clans were neatly arranged, one row after another.
In the two camps, there are some clansmen holding stone hammers or stone sticks, they look particularly tall and mighty, and the cold light that flickers between the teeth is even more cold.
On the side of the small stone clan who came out of the cave, one of the tallest small stone clan came to the front of the camp, holding a stone hammer about the same size as him in each hand, walking back and forth in front of the queue, rhythmically shouting in his mouth .
And with his actions, all the clansmen shouted in unison.
"Drink! Drink!" The voices were endless.
Yang Kai looked at him with a strange expression, and whispered to Yue He: "Is this to boost morale before the war?"
Yue He nodded and said, "Almost so."
Not only the small stone clan who came out of the cave, but also the small stone clan who invaded from there, the behavior of both sides is exactly the same, like a template carved out.
After a short time, the morale was lifted, and the two sides began to advance toward each other in an orderly manner.
The distance of hundreds of feet was wiped out in a moment.
The two small stone tribes belonging to different ethnic groups rushed together and soon became indistinguishable from each other.
Under the attention of Yang Kai and Yue He, although these little stone clans are small in size, they can be said to be fierce and not afraid of death in battle. Those with weapons rush to the enemy's side, raise their weapons and smash them high, often with a stone hammer. The enemy can be smashed to pieces, and those without weapons will be slaughtered on the enemy, wrestled into a ball, opened his fangs, and bit down fiercely.
Their teeth are undoubtedly extremely sharp, and each bite is capable of gnawing large chunks of stone from the enemy.
During the battle, they made the sound of drinking and drinking, one after another!
For a time, the scene was extremely tragic, and the small stone tribesmen were dismembered, turned into rubble and scattered on the ground.
There were originally about 2,000 people on both sides, but after just one cup of tea, almost two or three hundred were killed in battle, and after a stick of incense, only half of them were left.
Suddenly, the battle stopped suddenly, and the two sides who were fighting to the death stopped making peace without warning.
Immediately afterwards, the surviving little stone clans carried the bodies of the dead stone clans on the ground one after another and returned along the same path.
There are many small stone tribes who are short of arms and legs in the battle. They move their bodies with difficulty, and they have to return to wherever they came from.
Yang Kai looked puzzled: "What are they doing?"
Yue He said: "Young master, you can see it after reading it. This race is very strange. This kind of battle seems to be a way of survival for them, and it happens often."
"How are they sane? Have you tried communicating with them?"
Yue He said: "Naturally, I tried it, but their intelligence is not high, so they can't really communicate."
Yang Kai nodded and said no more.
The battlefield over there was quickly cleaned up, and both sides of the war lost their troops. The tribe that came to invade slowly retreated, and the tribe on the side of the cave that was fighting against them also carried the corpses of their tribesmen or enemies back to the cave in an orderly manner.
Yue He greeted and followed behind the Little Stone Clan with Yang Kai, entering the cave.
The cave is only about one person tall, and some places are shorter, and the two of them need to bend down from time to time to move.
Indeed, as Yuehe said before, the nest of this little stone clan is very similar to an ant nest. Inside, there are nine turns and eighteen bends, twists and turns, and the passages are all over the place, forming a huge net of caves all over the ground.
Along the way, there were many small stone tribes who dug out small caves and were resting in them. They were disturbed by Yang Kai and Yue He. .
Going deep all the way down, Yang Kai felt it carefully, and was secretly shocked, the ground has almost been hollowed out by the Little Stone Clan.
After a full depth of ten miles, the two suddenly came to a huge lair.
In the lair, there are several bridge-like passages connected to a huge platform in the center. On the platform, a figure much larger than the other Little Stone clansmen appeared in Yang Kai's field of vision.
"That is the stone king of this small stone tribe!" Yue He said softly.
Yang Kai nodded slightly, looked up, and saw that the stone king was extremely bloated, lying on the platform, with a body of about three feet, like a huge fat man, with a body like white jade.
And beside this stone king, there are also a group of small stone clans who are about the same height as people patrolling back and forth. There are not many small stone clans in this group, there are about dozens of them in total, but compared with other clansmen, each of them is taller than others. The shape is tall and abnormal, and the stone on the surface of the body looks more like a helmet and armor, and it is awe-inspiring.
"This is the guard of the Stone King?" Yang Kai raised his eyebrows.
Yue He nodded: "It should be!"
At this moment, the little stone tribes who had withdrawn from the battlefield before carried their spoils of war from the passage to the central platform, and those spoils of war were undoubtedly the stones left by the tribe or the enemy after they died.
In front of the stone king, a leading small stone clan lifted the stone in his hand high, the stone king's extremely fat body wriggled a little, lowered his head and sniffed, and then opened a mouth larger than a washbasin. , bit down the stone in one bite, and the whole entrance was full.
bang bang bang...
The crisp sound echoed in the cave, and the stone king's teeth were extremely sharp, and eating this stone was like biting a brittle bone.
In just a few mouthfuls, the stone was swallowed by the Stone King.
And the next little stone clan holding a stone has come to the front, and put the stone in his hand to the mouth of the stone king, and the stone king continued to open his mouth.
One by one, the small stone tribes offered the spoils, and the stone kings all refused to come.
After a while, Shi King's fat body suddenly shook violently, and Yang Kai clearly felt that this guy seemed to be holding back his strength.
Immediately afterwards, with a puff, something fell from the position of the stone king's tail.
The Stone King was lying on the central platform, and the tail was hanging in the air, so after the thing fell, it fell straight down.
Yang Kai could see clearly that what fell from the stone king's tail was an oval stone egg! Like a pebble.
After rolling a few times on the soft ground, the stone egg stopped, and the small stone clan who had been waiting on the side rushed up, hugged the stone egg, and took small steps into a passage on the side.
Yang Kai was amazed: "Is the little stone clan oviparous?"
Yuehe nodded: "So this little stone clan is very similar to ants, both in terms of its structure and way of life."
Yang Kai let out a ray of spiritual thought, followed the little stone clan holding the stone eggs all the way, and soon came to a cave, and there were no less than a hundred stone eggs neatly in the cave. Put together, each stone egg is pregnant with a breath of life.
In the nest, there are also special small stone tribes who are responsible for taking care of these stone eggs, patrolling back and forth like a nanny, looking at this and touching that from time to time.
In the vicinity, there are several nests that store stone eggs like this.
Yang Kai even saw the scene of the Little Stone Clan people hatching from some stone eggs.
In this battle, the small stone clan brought a lot of loot, but not many, but after more than an hour, they were eaten by the stone king, and as a result, the stone king gave birth to dozens of stone eggs. as much.
After those trophies, the little stone clan, who were short of arms and legs because of their participation in the battle, also lined up to go to the stone king.
They didn't have any trophies in their hands. Just when Yang Kai wondered what they were going to do, he saw the stone king open his mouth and bite at a small stone clan with no arms.
After three or two bites, the clansmen were eaten. The clansmen behind did not react much when they saw it. They still lined up and sent their broken bodies to the mouth of the stone king. They had no regrets or regrets. fear.
"Even my own clansmen eat it!" Yang Kai's eyes showed surprise, "It seems that these little stone clans really don't have much wisdom."
Yue He sighed slightly: "It's also for the reproduction of the tribe. The Stone King will only lay eggs after eating. Normally, she will not lay eggs."
Yang Kai frowned and said: "If it is for the reproduction of the ethnic group, what was the reason for the previous battle, this ethnic group lost hundreds of people in this battle, but in the end all the spoils were fed to the stone king, and the stone eggs that can be laid are also But a hundred."
"We guess they are trying to control the number of ethnic groups, and reproduction is their responsibility, but for them, the materials in the small stone world today are scarce, if they don't control the number, they may perish. In terms of their intelligence , may not be able to recognize the demise of the ethnic group, but they are living creatures after all, and it makes sense to instinctively have some measures to detect and respond!"
"Controlling the number..." Yang Kai touched his chin and pondered. What he saw before also showed that Yue He was right. After all, they have observed and practiced here for more than 40 years, so they naturally know more about this place. .
"Actually, in this whole small stone world, apart from the extremely special cultivation environment, we didn't find any valuable materials here. I was a little strange why this happened before, but after discovering that the whole small stone world is full of these small stone tribes, I understood. ." Yue He said softly: "There may have been materials in the small stone world before, but they must have been eaten up by the small stone clan. Now they can only eat some ordinary ores, but their reproduction ability is too strong, so it is still necessary. The number must be controlled, and fighting between different ethnic groups is the best way to control the number."
Yang Kai nodded and said: "This is also explained, no wonder they were fighting in full swing before but suddenly stopped making peace, and brought back the bodies of all the clansmen."
