Song Siyuan looked at the slave corpse, and then at the room full of corpses. She recalled the skillful behavior of the flying insects just now, which showed that it had become a routine. From this, she thought about it carefully, and gradually understood the existence of flying insects in her mind. Complete guess.
Flying insects can live underground and maintain their population. This should be the same as the Inferi Fish. It maintains a different ecosystem. This is an insect that does not need sunlight at all to survive.
This insect feeds on human wax. When the translucent larvae grow up, they will look for another female flying insect, and then sink into the water to lay eggs.
In order for the egg shells in these water to hatch into larvae, the outer skin will be flexible and solid to facilitate flow. After the larvae hatch, they will use the horns of their heads to puncture the eggs, and then dozens of flying insects will break out of the eggs.
This kind of flying insect will not stay on objects except for feeding. Once the larvae spread their wings, they must fly into the air as soon as possible to avoid enemies and become part of the insect swarm.
Of course, there are also a large number of larvae that are submerged in water. After their wings are wet, they lose the opportunity to fly. They sink into the river like insect shells and old insects, where they accumulate and are decomposed into nutrients by microorganisms.
All the roots of the Ganoderma lucidum they saw stretched out from burrows. This burrow is probably connected to the underground river, allowing the Ganoderma lucidum vines to penetrate into it to form a network, and at the same time absorb water and nutrients, which are used to provide food. Give the corpses of slaves to produce transparent corpse wax on their bodies!
Then, when the adults in the insect swarm need to eat, they can enter thousands of caves in groups, complete the group foraging behavior, and then fly into the insect swarm, repeating the cycle, forming an insect swarm life support system.
It can be said that as long as there are eggs in the water of the insect swarm, it will not be a problem to maintain the insect swarm system for thousands of years.
After Song Siyuan told everyone what she said, Yue Qingshan was really surprised, but he also knew that Song Siyuan's life-support system really existed. The same principle applies to beekeepers making honey and silkworms raising silkworms. However, due to the use of manpower, they are not so successful. Just exquisite.
As for Ren Kongque, she comes from the border between Sichuan, Hunan and Guizhou. She knows very well what poison poison martial arts is. There are countless kinds of such bugs. She might even know these heresy herself. While the two of them were surprised, they also had new questions in their hearts. produce.
Ren Peacock was always outspoken and asked truthfully: "Yao sister, how can these flying insects stay underground? There are not many holes and doors in these places, so they won't fly out!"
Song Siyuan had already thought of this, looked at the crowd and explained:
"The southern foothills of the Qinling Mountains never freeze all year round. Even during the Great and Small Colds, there are only frosts and dews. It can be seen that the rest of the year is very warm. The habit of this flying insect is that it likes cold and moisture. Once it comes out of the cave, it will Withstand high temperatures or changes in humidity.”
"When we entered the cave, I had already noticed these flying insects falling into the water. It can be seen that these insects have very low tolerance to heat. They probably died halfway due to changes in the outside temperature. I didn't understand it at first, until I saw the Kerosene can drive away insects, and considering that the insects cannot fly in the city building, we understand that the flying insects should be afraid of high heat or burning, which also explains why the lights work!"
"Even if you go out during the coldest time of the year, you will lose your physical strength. If you go out during the hotter times, will you die?"
This sentence completely woke everyone up. Xu Xiake couldn't help but praise: "Infinite Heavenly Lord, the vastness of the world is indeed full of wonders, but this insect is so weird, but what is it?"
"Earthfly!"
Yue Guanchao and the others looked back at Uncle Yue. They had never heard of a creature like the groundfly. When Leng Buding saw that the old man knew about it, his eyes became a little more adoring.
"What the hell is a groundfly? Even in the land of Sichuan and Hunan, there is no such thing as a groundfly."
Yue Qingshan looked at these little brats and said, "I have eaten more salt than you have walked: "Hanging coffin tombs are popular in the mountainous areas of Sichuan and Hunan. Some coffins are placed in caves. These caves are windy and cold. The corpse is either a mummy or remains in its original state, as if covered with a layer of lard. There is often a kind of flying insect around the corpse, called a groundfly, also called an oil-stealing insect or a seven-day insect."
This kind of ground beetle feeds on human wax. If the wax is not used up, the insect will not be exterminated. After seven days of growth, it will find another half to mate with, and then it will melt and lose its head and body, leaving only its belly to form an insect cyst, and many eggs in their body. , relying on the bones and blood of the mother's fetus, it begins to hatch. After seven days, it breaks out of the body and flies into the air to become part of the insect swarm. It takes another seven days to fully grow up. Including the time for laying eggs, it does not exceed a month.
"What appears in front of us should be an earthfly. Speaking of this kind of thing, I heard that it was transformed from a living person!"
