Centipede Mountains.
"This should be the end, right?" Qian Duotian asked Zhao Bupo.
"Yes, there are no blade centipedes in the mountains behind. However, the front is no longer a mountain range, but a swamp area. There are more swamp snakes than blade centipedes," Zhao Bupo said.
"Swamp snakes are just food for blade centipedes. As long as we are careful, we are not even afraid of blade centipedes, so why should we be afraid of some snakes?" a young man next to Qian Duotian said nonchalantly.
This young man is the upstart of the insect catching team, his name is Ding Sanshu. He is one of the lucky ones since the development of the Centipede Mountain Range. He was lucky enough to hatch a flying centipede insect.
Although Zhao Bupo swallowed the eggs in the poisonous centipede nest that his team found and hatched a poisonous centipede, it was still inferior to the flying centipede, so he couldn't help but laugh at him.
"We are not afraid of the blade centipede because we have all kinds of poisonous smoke to assist us. Without these, your insect catching team would have turned into centipede excrement long ago," Zhao Bupo said disdainfully.
"Not to mention that your insect catching team does not have the poisonous smoke to deal with snakes, and it is difficult to move in a swamp full of poisonous snakes. Let's just say that most of those snakes are not the food of the blade centipede. It is better to say the other way around. The blade centipede is the food of the swamp snake. , the insect catching team went in, just to add some food to the swamp snake."
Zhao Bupo was jealous of Ding Sanshu. Didn't he know that many people were dissatisfied with Zhao Bupo because he found precious materials and plants? It was even more irritating that Zhao Bupo directly asked the Immortal Master to get the insect eggs found in the nest to hatch out the insects.
Originally, the probability of hatching zerg eggs from zerg eggs was much higher. Zhao Bupo intercepted such precious worm eggs directly because of his merit, which simply violated the rules of fair competition.
"Then what do you think we should do? How about you take the exploration team and go directly to dig out the precious materials and insect eggs inside? Aren't you the best at this? It will save our insect catching team the loss of manpower." Ding Sanshu smiled half-heartedly. said, while Qian Duotian just listened and kept looking forward.
There is no way, Qian Duotian has hatched a second insect, and some people in the insect catching team have been dissatisfied with him recently.
The three captains secretly collected the same insect eggs, but who told him to hatch the zerg, while the other two captains did not.
Therefore, these three people are not welcome for various reasons. In the eyes of outsiders, the three of them stick together to keep each other warm, and their relationship has become better. When there are no outsiders, the three of them dislike each other.
"Ahem, someone is coming," Qian Duotian suddenly said.
As a result, Zhao Bupo and Ding Sanshu, who were originally blushing, suddenly changed their faces, and the tense atmosphere turned into a happy one in an instant.
"Three of you, are you together again? Oh, I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship. You are inseparable every time we see you." Zhao Lai let out a long, pretentious sigh and walked over with Liang Xinshu.
In the past, Zhao Lai and Liang Xinshu had a close relationship with Qian Duotian, especially Zhao Lai and Qian Duotian, who had been friends with each other for many years.
Unfortunately, after Qian Duotian hatched the second zerg, the boat of their friendship was overturned.
You must know that Liu Hong is now older. Although he still retains the position of captain of the insect catching team, it was only in name only a long time ago, and recently he has almost lost his reputation.
Originally, the three of them could compete fairly and friendship came first, but what does it mean that you, Qian Duotian, hatched a second zerg at this juncture? Can friendship still come first, so Zhao Lai and Liang Xinshu, who felt betrayed, tacitly kicked Qian Duotian out of the gang of three, leaving only the two of them to reorganize the brotherhood.
"Although the three of you have a good relationship, Tada, you are also the captain of an insect-catching team, so our insect-catching team has to look for you everywhere to discuss things. Isn't this delaying the progress of the Centipede Mountain Range?" Liang Xinshu was a little dissatisfied before. Qian Duotian relied on his seniority to criticize the insect catching team all day long. It happened that Qian Duotian was unpopular in the insect catching team, so he started to make fun of them.
The higher your status on Miao Mountain, the more things you can get. Money is the second most important thing. The key is contracted insect eggs.
The insects hatched from their blood-contracted eggs have one characteristic, which is that they can be inherited by future generations.
Over the years, not to mention the sons and daughters of the three of their own families, everyone has basically contracted three to five bugs, which they have replaced themselves. If they are not mentally weak, each person can contract ten to eight bugs. It is also possible, even if they are their illegitimate children, everyone will not lack contract bugs.
Now that the grandchildren have grown up, the family needs more contract bugs, so the three of them have been eyeing the position of captain of Liu Hong's bug catching team.
There is no way. Although Liu Hong has never participated in the frontline battles of the insect catching team in recent years, among the many families in Miao Mountain, the Liu family where Liu Hong belongs has the most contracted insects. Even Wan Gong, the nominally most responsible person in Miao Mountain, The Wan family where I live does not have as many contract insects as the Liu family, because Liu Hong has the position of captain of the insect catching team.
Interests move people's hearts. Therefore, the long-term friendship between Qian Duotian and the three people was immediately ended when Qian Duotian competed for the superior position of captain.
Qian Duotian was ridiculed but remained unmoved. He had gone through so many ups and downs that words were meaningless to him. Just like when he became the only two mortal zerg owners in Miao Mountain, there was so much envy at that time. For those who are jealous of him, he is still moving forward step by step, and now this small setback is not considered at all in his eyes.
"Tell me, what's the matter with you?"
Qian Duotian said calmly, his tone was calm and natural, full of the calmness of a successful person.
"After the poisonous weeds obtained by the exploration team and dozens of snake samples captured were given to the research laboratory, the laboratory responded," Zhao Lai said.
"Huh? Now that we have medicine for snakes, do you still agree with us to attack with fire?" Qian Duotian asked.
"No, General Manager Feng Luan personally issued an order not to destroy any plants or trees in the swamp. Moreover, the insect catching team's exploration in the Centipede Mountains ends here. Then the research office will send an herb collection team to take over the swamp," Liang Xinshu said.
"Huh? There are a lot of blade centipedes in the swamp, and there are also a lot of centipede insects. If we don't kill them, won't a lot of people in the herb collection team be killed?"
Ding Sanshu said.
Zhao Lai and Liang Xinshu glanced at Ding Sanshu and were too lazy to answer. Although the flying centipede worms under his command can be said to be one of the best among centipede worms, Ding Sanshu is just a young boy who has grown up. It still needed time, so the two of them simply ignored him.
Ding Sanshu was a little embarrassed when he saw that no one answered him. Fortunately, he also received compulsory education in Miaoshan. There was something in his head. He coughed lightly and looked away. He was instantly immersed in the beautiful scenery of Sanhe Rainforest, as if he had not just been there. He made the same sound, and his expression didn't change at all.
"In other words, the team of three of us will be separated again? However, we are all members of the insect catching team. If we have the opportunity to get together in the future, I will treat you." Qian Duotian knew that since Feng Luan issued the order, then the Centipede Mountain Range This is the end of the matter.
Zhao Lai and Liang Xinshu couldn't stand Qian Duotian's appearance as a captain, so they left directly after saying a few useless words.
"Let's go and prepare for the handover with the herb collection team," Qian Duotian said to Zhao Bupo and Ding Sanshu, and then walked back.
