Chapter 780: The Origin of the Insect-Control Stick?

After introducing each other and briefly communicating, Gordon felt that this little girl named Xue Xue was quite interesting.

From a certain perspective, her personality is similar to Feng Ying's?

If that guy were here, he would probably make new friends quickly.

The insect envoy who led them into the village didn't seem to be interested in chatting. After seeing Gordon and his companions meet, he silently prepared to leave.

Gordon stopped him, took out a flash bomb and threw it to the other party, briefly explained how to use it, and said with a smile: "I don't know if you have anything similar, just think of it as a small gift. Thank you for bringing us in." "

Hayata and others also bowed slightly or nodded to express their gratitude.

The insect envoy took the flashbang, was silent for two seconds, nodded and left.

"His name is Lichen. He doesn't like to talk much, but he is actually a very good person." Qian Cao smiled and said to the hunters, "Insect envoys are not always popular, but they are very powerful."

"I can see that." Gordon looked away, "Can you take us for a walk? I didn't expect so many people living in the depths of the sea of ​​trees. Are there many settlements of this size?"

"Gulu, lead the way, Xue Xue!" The chrysalis girl raised her hand.

Qian Cao pinned the two large leaves on the helmet that could serve as visors to the back of her head, "There aren't many. This place is called the 'Woodland'. It is one of the largest settlements in the sea of ​​trees. Most of the settlements are very small.

The Alchemy Academy is here, and young people from the sea of ​​trees come here to study. "

School of Alchemy.

Gordon choked. There are educational institutions called "colleges". It seems that the social structure of the Shuhai aborigines is far more complicated than they thought.

But in retrospect, they had only seen a total of four or five aborigines so far, all of them young people, and each of them looked like a "combatant."

Just from the armor and weapons, it can be seen that the fighting systems of these people are completely different. The insect envoys and archers use insect sticks, and the whole person has turned into a pupa.

Ah, there was a guy walking over there with big leather wings fixed to his armpits.

Without specialized inheritance, it would be impossible for young people to figure this out on their own.

"How many combat professions do you have here?" Gordon couldn't help but ask.

"Occupation? Everyone has their own, countless." Qian Cao shook her head, "Some are only passed down by one person, some are suitable for use in the dense forest in the south, but not suitable for use in the north.

And it’s not necessarily those who fight, but those who breed, collect, patrol forests, there are many, many.”

"Suddenly I feel that our hunter's system is really simple." Gale couldn't help but comment.

Anhil glanced at her sideways, "They don't have the term 'hunters' as full-time fighters, they all do it to survive in the dangerous forest.

If you want to make a horizontal comparison between our society and theirs, craftsmen, messengers, scholars, farmers and other walks of life should be included. "

"You really have to fight me, don't you?!"

"I just don't want them to have any unnecessary misunderstandings about us outsiders, such as intelligence."

"You two, be quiet." Hilda, who was annoyed by the two people's quarrel, finally spoke, and the visiting team finally became quieter.

Led by Qian Cao and Xuan Xue, they visited the Alchemy Academy.

Different from the school they had in mind, this place was more of a centralized research institution. Gordon finally understood why these young people, who were obviously more of a fighter, came here to learn the so-called "alchemy."

To put it bluntly, the alchemy of the Shuhai people is a biological cultivation technology. In their own way, they cultivate plants, fungi, and even insects and reptiles that can be used by them.

For example, the special insect chrysalis that coexists with her does not exist in nature. It is the product of alchemical cultivation.

There are also the living bows and arrows used by the archer before, the quiver, and the special rat women on the insect lichen, which are all the result of alchemical intervention and cultivation.

For example, the leaf armor, honeycomb armor, slime mold wrist armor, etc. on Madder's body were all "grown" by her.

The only exception is the long stick in her hand. This weapon called the "Ocarina Flute Hammer" is actually a bone musical instrument.

It was carved from the bones of certain monsters and matched with vocal cord membranes, etc., and was made for her by her elders.

Gordon was very curious as to whether these flute hammers and insect sticks were related, and he specifically asked Hilda and Qian Cao's teacher before confirming it.

It's really relevant.

The ocarina flute hammer is very common in the sea of ​​trees. Madder uses it to control the poisonous wasps in the honeycomb armor. Falconers use it to command raptors, and some people use it to control hunting insects.

Outsiders learned and mastered the alchemy technology of directional cultivation of hunting insects, as well as the skills of commanding and controlling hunting insects. On this basis, they improved the Ocarina flute hammer.

The music-playing function has been almost completely removed, leaving only the most basic sounding holes, making it more of a weapon than a musical instrument.

At the same time, the functions of "colored lights" and "pheromone" are added to reduce the difficulty of operating insects and improve the accuracy of insect hunting instructions.

Thus the bug stick was born.

It is said that this kind of weapon is also used by people in the Sea of ​​Trees, and it can be regarded as a small similarity between the outside world and the residents of the Sea of ​​Trees.

Gordon and the others were curious about the biological alchemy of the aborigines of the Sea of ​​Trees, while Madder, Nympho, and even the instructors from the Alchemy Academy were also amazed by the manufacturing technology of the hunters' equipment.

For the indigenous people of the Sea of ​​Trees, metal is a rare resource.

Due to the scarcity and easy corrosion of ore, metal is rarely seen on their equipment, and they know nothing about industrial technologies such as ore smelting, alloy manufacturing, and high-temperature forging.

After learning this, Gale used his peeling knife to exchange for several plants and insect materials that are considered very precious in the outside world.

Gordon and his friends followed suit and also used knives, as well as some hunting tools, to exchange for a lot of messy things.

In addition, the people of the Alchemy Academy showed great interest in the hunters' weapons.

The hunters' swords can easily cut down trees, and the crossbows and bows can penetrate rocks. Such power shocked them, so they took the initiative to ask for a trade.

The hunters naturally refused, and they were deeply regretful.

The residents of the Sea of ​​Trees rarely actively hunt large monsters. When fighting broke out, they mostly used traps, poisonous insects, and poisons to surround and kill them.

It was simply unimaginable for the hunters to rely on their own strength and weapons to confront large monsters head-on and kill them.

In this alchemy academy full of wonderful things, Gordon and others spent half a day of amazing time.

The sky gradually darkened and it was evening.

As the "landlord", Qiancao and the others enthusiastically took the hunters home and treated them to a special dinner with high protein content.

Anxier, who had already experienced it at lunch, found an excuse very cleverly and sneaked out to eat the food he brought.

The rest of the people looked at the fresh and alive delicacies on the table, and their faces turned green.

Facing Qiancao and the others who were eating and chewing, crunching, and bursting with juice in their mouths, even Gordon, who was willing to try and never picky about food, couldn't stand it.

Hayata took a small piece of endurance thunderworm from Gordon's plate, stretched his neck and swallowed it, and then smiled stiffly and claimed that he had a small appetite and was full.

Gale even said nonsense, saying that he never eats dinner in order to keep in shape.

Only Hilda looked normal, and she tasted a little of everything. This determination made the young hunters admire her.

After the meal, Hayata, who was hungry, exchanged glances with Gale.

Let's wait until Qiancao and the others fall asleep before secretly getting up to eat the food they brought with them.

Ps.

Regarding the Alchemy Academy, Ocarina Flute Hammer, Falconer, Insect Master, and these equipments are all from part of the MH2 data book. The data book itself does not explain it in detail, and the connection with the Insect Master is also my subjective guess, not an official setting.

However, the main creative team themselves have mentioned many times that many of the later settings are actually developed from early abandoned projects, and this guess should be reasonable.
