380 380 Achievement of the leader (1/2)

”Drop the crystal!”

Along with a burst of shouts, a group of standing scorpions put large crystals in their hands on the ground. Each of these crystals weighed about one ton. They were basically square and were the best materials for absorbing light.

Lin's spy also followed this group of crystalline teams as a ”leader”. Lin thought that as long as they followed them, she could leave the cave ... Lin originally thought so.

But here is still a cave **, this place is like a spacious circular area, there is no passage at all around the cave wall can lead to the outside, why did they stop to crystallize?There is no sunshine at all, only the dim light radiated by the crystals carried by the standing scorpions ...

These crystals are almost extinguished. If their brilliance disappears, the standing scorpions will always be in darkness.

Speaking, the standing scorpions that Lin had seen before will glow because they have a small luminous creature on them, but the standing scorpions living in the 'Red Village' do not have this kind of biological symbiosis. I don't know why this happens. , So they also need something else to illuminate.

”Dig!” After placing the crystal, a standing scorpion climbed onto a piece of crystal and shouted to the surroundings. At this time, a part of the standing scorpion with a crystal spear began to dig some softer places on the ground with the spear tip.

After spending more than ten days and nights with them, Lin began to understand their language more. They have a more complex language system, but Lin has not asked where they collect light. After all, they ask these things as ”leaders”. It is really strange that Lin thought they would collect the crystallized light energy outside. Now it seems that they intend to collect it by another method.

In fact, these days and nights in which Lin stays in the community rarely communicate with them, but these standing scorpions usually do not need to be commanded by the leader, they will do their own things, and they still regard the spy as the leader.

Perhaps the leader is more like an ”object of worship” than a ”director” for these standing scorpions.

'Ka.'

Thinking of this, Lin suddenly heard the sound from the ground, and saw that the cave floor was cracked with some small holes, and some red caterpillars covered with crystals drilled out of it.

The caterpillars are very small, each one is about ten centimeters, but they are quite many. There are countless holes in the ground. Thousands of caterpillars are constantly drilling out of the ground. They reflect the bright red under the dim light. The luster is like a pile of rubies drilling out of the ground.

... What is ruby?Is it a type of red crystal?

”Don't step on it! Don't move!” Some standing scorpions shouted loudly. It seems that these caterpillars are the key to their light energy. It seems ... Lin still has to go out the old way.

The caterpillars on the ground shrank quickly after they came out. There seemed to be something changing in them, and they also gave out a slight light.

Lynn had basically guessed what was going on.

”Come! Protect!” Suddenly, a standing scorpion yelled, and saw a huge amount of black shadows appearing around the cave. Countless small creatures rushed out of the cracks in the cave wall. They caught these caterpillars. Drag back.

These creatures are ... Mao Yu?Lin looked carefully. The small figures attacking the caterpillars are all Maoyu with bright red fluff. This is probably the largest Maoyu Lin has ever seen. Each one has a length of about 7 centimeters. They can easily put these The immobile caterpillar bites in two.

The common common jade is very fragile, this is also the first time Lin sees that the jade is on the 'attack' side,

The scorpions are constantly stepping on the ground with the feet of the Maoyu running around on the ground, trying to drive these Maoyu, but there are too many Maoyu, they have caught a lot of caterpillars, some even open directly Eat and tear the caterpillars into pieces. This battle lasted hundreds of meters. Until the Maoyu finally retreated, the caterpillars in the venue had been reduced by half.

Lin hasn't moved, but just stayed there to watch. These standing scorpions are too clumsy to drive out small creatures. Some caterpillars are stepped on by them instead of eating them.

After finally chasing away Mao Yu, these caterpillars on the ground finally began to change, only to see that their backs began to split slowly, and in the cracks, a burst of light ...

It turned out that ...

Among the cracks behind it, a pair of wings with bright light stretched out, then the whole body, a new type of creature emerged from the caterpillar body.

The insects appeared on the back of the caterpillars one after another, and the entire cave was as bright as the daylight shining from them!All standing scorpions cheered, and the light energy emitted was slowly being absorbed by the crystal.

Lin grabbed a worm of this kind, and quickly swallowed it in without the other scorpions noticing it, and then quickly decomposed it, just as Lin thought, this should be their breeding period, this Insects are now called ”red stone butterflies”. They do not have a structure such as a feeding mouth. It seems that many insects have developed into this form. They mainly live in the larval stage and finally grow into an adult. They do n’t eat, they just fly to breed.

Mao Yu also knows their breeding period, so it was at this time that they rushed out to hunt on a large scale.

Speaking of most of these insects have the stage of 'pupa', this red stone butterfly does not, it is the larvae directly into adults.

The red stone butterflies born on the back of the larvae stayed on the ground, waiting for their wings to slowly congest and swell. They spread their wings and flew one after another.
