Part Three 1139 Sand Beetle 4/5
The mountain peak is not low at all, and the water snake entrenched on the mountain peak and rose to a height of sixty to seventy meters. It happened to aim its big mouth at the thickest part of the insect cloud. With one big mouth, tens of thousands of flying insects would fly As soon as it was empty, the water snake swung its head and sucked all the flying insects around it into its mouth, and then slowly lowered its body. It exploded on the purple-golden scales, dyeing the water snake into bamboo leaf green in a short time. The green water snake doesn't care about this kind of attack, or in other words, it's sensitivity to pain is greatly reduced after eating. At least, Zhang Xiaoqiang estimated that the impact force of each flying insect at high speed is equivalent to that of a 12.7 mm caliber bullet. Sometimes he screamed in pain, but now he is quiet?
The water snake lowered its body and swallowed the flying insects in its mouth. It seemed to feel good, and it rose again. Just at this time, the cloud of insects that had been emptied in mid-air was replenished again. According to the previous pattern, the water snake swallowed again. Zhang Xiaoqiang and others came from the foot of the mountain. It took almost half an hour to get to the water snake. In half an hour, the water snake swallowed it four times, every five or six minutes. Each time, it swallowed at least ten thousand flying insects into its stomach, and hit it to death. The number of flying insects is not less than this number.
Looking at the thick corpses of insects crashing and falling around the water snake, Zhang Xiaoqiang had nothing to say. The number of flying insects has gone through several catastrophes, and now there are half the number of flying insects in their heyday. The swallowing of water snakes did not consume too many flying insects, but Zhang Xiaoqiang You know, the water snake's belly is not small. To be precise, if you really let go of your stomach and let the water snake eat up, the water snake can swallow food equal to its own size. Counting on the water snake to move a bit, for a foodie, what could be more blissful than digesting it after it is full?
Zhang Xiaoqiang grabbed a dead beetle and looked it over carefully, and found that most of the beetle's body was still intact, except that the iconic one-horn and head disappeared, and the beetle was not heavy when held in his hand, only two or two. In other words, ten beetles are less than one kilogram, and a thousand beetles are the weight of an adult. According to the minimum food intake of a thousand zombies for a water snake, millions of beetles just meet its minimum food intake , if the water snake let go to eat, tens of thousands of flying insects would not be a problem, so... wouldn't it be possible for the water snake to eat most of the flying insects?
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoqiang no longer cared about the water snakes, turned to John Li and said, "Notify Colonel Simon to organize people to come and pick up the beetles, and don't let any of them go."
Li Yuehan knew the importance of the beetle, so he went down the mountain and said that at this time, only Zhang Xiaoqiang and Zhuo Mingyue were left beside the water snake. , the boulder was covered with thick dust and black ashes, and there were many piles of charred insect corpses scattered in it. It was clear at a glance that this place had suffered a fire.
In addition to the traces of the flames, Zhang Xiaoqiang also saw many lines that spread radially. The places where these lines went were barren. In addition, the southern region is all green, and this mountain has the most green vegetation. Even though flying insects have eaten a lot, the remaining vegetation still looks lush and lush. Unexpectedly, it looks like a bald man today.
The environment here has suffered extreme damage, but Zhang Xiaoqiang doesn't care. What he cares about is the bottom of the gap in the mountain. Under the dust of those boulders is the nest of female insects. He has been trying to figure it out, but was delayed by various things. He really had a chance, the movement down the mountain was fast, and some people had already started to pick up the scattered insect corpses. In the innermost corner of the crowd, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw hundreds of children neatly lined up to receive food. When he arrived at the stove controlled by Gemma and the British, Zhang Xiaoqiang smiled. He knew that Gemma valued children the most. Everyone else was fleeing. The child can eat the food in the first time.
"Let's go down, maybe there might be a surprise?" Zhang Xiaoqiang was in a good mood, and he became more pleasant to Zhuo Mingyue. Zhuo Mingyue saw that there were only piles of boulder insect corpses below him. He didn't know what Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to see, but seeing Zhang Xiaoqiang today In terms of performance, Zhuo Mingyue didn't make a sound, which was considered to be her consent, and without waiting for Zhang Xiaoqiang's orders, she released a wave of thoughts to wrap Zhang Xiaoqiang up and flew down. Zhang Xiaoqiang was hooking his neck to look for any suspicious things, when he was suddenly dragged down by Zhuo Mingyue , caught off guard, only had time to let out a shrill scream, which made the water snake, which was working hard to fill its belly, pause for a moment, and the next moment it forgot about Zhang Xiaoqiang and continued to devour the boundless flying insects.
Falling into the largest rock, Zhang Xiaoqiang woke up from the dizziness of the rapid fall, opened his mouth and cursed: "Crazy woman..., you will die if you are gentle?" Zhuo Mingyue laughed and said: "You are not very capable!" Well, why are you like this in front of me..." "Isn't it because you are by my side that I'm like this..." Before Zhuo Mingyue finished speaking, Zhang Xiaoqiang's rebuttal made Zhuo Mingyue's fair face flush a little, The watery eyes also had some charming colors, which intensified Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart that had just calmed down again. Not wanting to make Zhuo Mingyue proud, Zhang Xiaoqiang turned his head to look around, and muttered dirtyly: "Ugly people often do mischief... " "You..." The two are natural enemies, the originally very harmonious and ambiguous atmosphere disappeared completely, and the unparalleled beauty of Zhuo Mingyue was actually called an ugly person by Zhang Xiaoqiang, which almost made her explode. At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly threw out the Mouse King Blade and flew towards a boulder in a low-lying place. In the next moment, a black shadow the size of a dog rushed out like lightning, but turned into a handful of ashes in the air.
Seeing something appearing, Zhuo Mingyue didn't quarrel with Zhang Xiaoqiang, she swung her sleeves lightly, and invisible thoughts emanated from her body, forming a silk-like network in the air, bypassing Zhang Xiaoqiang and covering it downward, and then countless black shadows came from below They rushed out, and before these things landed, they were dismembered into pieces in the air. Every time these things shattered, green blood splashed out, and scattered carapaces and flesh and blood scattered scattered on the surrounding dust and ashes. At this time, Zhang Xiaoqiang had become serious. He had heard Simon mention before that there is another kind of bug in the beetle family called the sand beetle. It is the only non-flying bug. It is responsible for digging the nests. Basalt can be dug by them. Unexpectedly See you here.
As the name suggests, the sand beetle is dusty and inconspicuous. It looks like the watermelon insect I saw when I was moving stones when I was a child. It has layers of thousand-leaf beetles from head to tail. It has a slender body, long beards like bamboo, and With eight claws and two claws, although it can't fly, its jumping ability is not weak. Even fleas can't match it. If it weren't for Zhang Xiaoqiang's dynamic vision, he might not even be able to see clearly. They will be dismembered by claws that can dig up boulders. Zhuo Mingyue is not slow to start, Zhang Xiaoqiang only has time to estimate the approximate number, and these beetles the size of dirt dogs are cut into thousands of pieces.
Zhuo Mingyue's methods are powerful, much stronger than Zhang Xiaoqiang's lethality, but instead of being complacent, she is a little more serious and cautious. Encircling Zhang Xiaoqiang just like that, he flew to the top of the mountain. Zhang Xiaoqiang was squatting on the ground to examine the corpse. Unexpectedly, Zhuo Mingyue would do this again for him, and screamed again, but it was from bottom to top.... Wits Pavilion
