Unlike the parasitic cockroach that is tightly entangled in the rope trap and has no resistance, when it attacks the parasitic dragon louse, it is not willing to just kill it.
When the ants tried to pull the rope fixed to the plant stem on the shore to pull the parasitic dragon louse onto the shore, the parasitic dragon louse, which instinctively felt bad, began to spray water cannons on the shore.
However, the water cannons of the parasitic dragon louse cannot be fired at will. They must absorb water in advance to replenish their "ammunition" and must have sufficient physical strength to ensure the power of the launch.
But this parasitic dragon louse has been trapped in the rope for a long time. It has been struggling hard but cannot get rid of it and is almost exhausted. And with the hasty water cannon attack, it didn't have time to accumulate too much water in its body.
This time, the water cannon was so light and soft that the dozens of ants on the shore seemed to have been forced to take a bath. They did not appear to be stunned or washed into the water by the current.
After all the ammunition was used up, the parasitic dragon louse lost its means of counterattack, but it still refused to submit. Whenever the ants retract part of the rope and the parasitic dragon louse feels that it is about to be pulled out of the water, it will push hard with its powerful paddle-like hind legs and quickly get back into the water a little further away.
The ants and the parasitic dragon louse were like tug-of-war, going back and forth on the shore, which was quite intense.
In the end, the ants were more numerous and able to take turns. The parasitic dragon louse was exhausted and its hind legs were no longer strong. It could only hug a calamus on the bank with its six limbs, refusing to be pulled. Go to shore.
Seeing that the parasitic dragon louse that was clinging to the calamus could not be pulled away, the fierce ant warriors simply climbed up the parasitic dragon louse along the rope. When they appeared, the parasitic bacteria on the parasitic dragon louse actually began to break away on its own initiative. Some of them attacked the approaching ants, but were quickly killed. The rest fell into the water on their own initiative, and then quickly disappeared under the water that was turbid due to the battle, and went to find the next unlucky host.
The ant warriors soon discovered that the parasitic dragon louse was exhausted and its vitality was constantly passing away. No matter how hard the ant warriors chewed it, it could only struggle feebly occasionally. Perhaps the parasitic bacteria sensed that the host was about to die and took the initiative to escape!
Soon, the dragon louse was completely killed, ending its miserable life of parasitism. The ants were finally able to pull its huge body ashore.
It can be said that today's battle was fruitful, with a parasitic cockroach and a parasitic dragon louse, and the meat of the prey was enough for the [Swamp City] defenders to eat one or two meals.
Of course, the protagonist is definitely not sensitive to cockroach meat, and strictly requires that cockroach meat not be brought in front of him.
But in fact, there are also examples of humans eating cockroaches. Some (weird) scientists have even pointed out that cockroaches are not only edible, but also a high-protein nutritional supplement that is very suitable for making meat sauce (scientists are really extraordinary!) .
Moreover, it is said that cockroaches have good health effects, such as anti-cancer effects. Relevant data show that the antibodies in cockroaches have a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of cancer cells and have been promoted by modern medical institutions for the treatment of various liver diseases and cancers.
Cockroach meat can also improve immunity, improving both cell-specific immunity and humoral-specific immunity. It can activate non-specific immune function cells, regulate human immune function, stabilize the body's physiology, and delay aging.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cockroaches can reduce swelling and diuresis when used as medicine. Cockroaches are cold in nature, salty, poisonous, pungent, and have the functions of dispersing blood stasis, eliminating accumulation, detoxification, diuresis, and reducing swelling. They are mainly used to treat malnutrition, tonsillitis, and body masses in children. , carbuncle swelling and pain, centipede, poisonous snake bites, etc.
But the protagonist still refuses, and he is not even willing to eat dragon louse meat until he is really short of food.
Unlike eating cockroaches, which is very rare, eating dragon lice is very common and popular in a province where Hu Jianren likes to eat, and is considered a great tonic (it seems that strange local foods are very tonic (｢･ω･)｢Hey ).
In fact, dragon lice actually look similar to cockroaches. The locals call them water turtles, and they even start artificial breeding. They mainly feed corn flour, rice bran, sweet fruits and other feeds.
There are many ways to eat local dragon lice. For example, Japanese dragon lice are sold on the roadside. The method is to soak the dragon lice in boiled water for a few hours, then add oil and salt to wait for the dragon lice to taste, and then steam it with water. Can.
There is also dragon louse lean meat soup. The method is to scald the dragon louse with boiling water, wash the lean pork, put all the ingredients into the pot, add red dates, and simmer for 2 hours.
Soaking dragon lice in wine is also one of the tonic wines. The dragon lice are scalded to death with boiling water, dried in the sun, then placed in a wine bottle, then wolfberry and white wine are added, and sealed for a period of time.
Salt and pepper lobster is more suitable for rice. Just clean the lobster and then stir-fry it. It can also be made into other flavors.
Dragon lice are believed to have many tonic effects locally:
Such as nourishing deficiency syndrome, suitable for those who are thin and weak.
Another example is beauty and skin health. Dragon lice are rich in protein. It is said that eating them can beautify and strengthen skin, making people look rosy and full of energy.
It can also treat frequent urination. If you have symptoms of urethral inflammation such as painful urination and urgency, you can use dragon lice soup to treat it. It is especially effective in treating frequent urination in the elderly.
Treat waist and knee weakness. The waist and knees are important parts of the human body. Long-term waist and knee weakness will cause many diseases in the human body. Therefore, those with waist and knee weakness can also be treated with dragon lice soup.
It can also activate blood circulation. If you need to activate blood circulation due to insufficient Qi and blood, eating dragon lice can be effective.
As well as the kidney-tonifying effect that men love, after a while there will be a good medicine in the world that claims to be able to nourish the kidney, such as the now very popular maca. The dragon louse is a local specialty kidney-tonifying food.
Men like to nourish the kidneys, while women like to resist aging. Dragon lice contain some oxide dismutases, which can prevent and resist aging.
It can also cure malnutrition in children. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that malnutrition in children is mainly caused by improper feeding, which leads to damage to the spleen and stomach. Eating dragon lice can relieve malnutrition in children.
It also has anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects, which is similar to the effect of eating cockroaches ≡￣﹏￣≡
Others are said to be effective in treating prostatic hypertrophy, weak women, thin and abundant leucorrhea, high blood pressure, obesity, etc.
The protagonist had eaten a lot of insect food before traveling through time, such as fried bean worms, fried grasshoppers, fried cicada pupae, etc., but he had never eaten dragon lice or cockroaches, and he had not even tried the fried cicada monkeys that are very common in the north.
But after I came to this world, I started to eat vegetarian food for a period of time, and then slowly started to eat some insect meat such as mealworm meat. Now in [Swamp City], the meat supply is tight, and the protagonist's meat supply cannot be guaranteed.
But he still couldn't make up his mind to eat dragon louse meat. He hoped that the trap could catch some other prey that was good enough to eat tomorrow!
