Original War

Chapter 144 Butterfly

Behind this layer of silk, under the angle between the protruding rock and the mountain wall, Shao Xuan did not find anything special, only some creeping marks.

I looked for it carefully, but I didn’t even find a shit.

I thought I would find some treasure, but I didn’t expect the white worm’s nest to be so clean.

Shao Xuan looked down the steep slope again, and found no trace of the white worm activity. Obviously, the white worm did not go down in the near future.

Found the white worm’s nest and got no other gains. Shao Xuan planned to go back. After taking two steps, he stopped thinking about it. Shao Xuan walked behind a protruding rock not far from here, and walked by himself before leaving. The past traces were cleared, and then he leaned against the rock and waited.

Although there is sunlight, the ice particles that fall down after a while are not something to enjoy. The temperature is not ascending, but when the sunlight gradually disappears, the temperature drops sharply.

However, for Shao Xuan, who is used to the temperature at the top of the mountain, he can tolerate such a temperature and fall asleep.

When the sun only left a faint light on the horizon, the white worm came back.

Because every step he took had to cling to the ice and rocks, he would naturally make a sound. Shao Xuan had closed his eyes and rested, but he hurriedly looked over when he heard the movement.

From the angle Shao Xuan chose, he could clearly see the movement of the white worm outside and inside the nest.

Although the sun has set, the light provided by the two moons in the sky can also enable Shao Xuan to see the situation there.

After returning to the nest, the white worm was excreted.

One by one, white translucent hockey pucks were pulled out from the tail.

After pulling the white worm, he kicked the hockey pucks down the mountain one by one.

Shao Xuan: “…” This worm is really obsessed with cleanliness, and I know that it doesn’t pile shit in the “nest”.

After eating and drinking enough to solve the metabolic waste, the white worms lie down in the nest to rest, motionless.

Shao Xuan didn’t look at it anymore, leaning on the rock to sleep.

The next day, before the sun came out completely, the white worm came out of its nest.

After it, Shao Xuan also went up the mountain.

In the next few days, Shao Xuan did not go down the mountain again, nor did he follow the white worm. Instead, he continued to check other places on the ice sheet. After being familiar with the terrain, Shao Xuan also let go of his speed.

A few days later, Shao Xuan returned to the original location. It was not because of turning back, but because the ice field was circular. After walking around, he would naturally return here. During this process, Shao Xuan encountered a few more insects like the white insects, but he didn’t spend any more time tracking them.

Back at the place of departure before, Shao Xuan did not see the white worm. Looking at other places, there was no trace of the white worm crawling.

Under curiosity, Shao Xuan went down the mountain and went to the white worm’s nest to investigate. He happened to see the worm that had just shed its skin.

The shed insect skin is the same color as the silk it spit out, and it is transparent.

Perhaps it was because it had just shed its skin, it was a little tired, and after a long rest, it moved and kicked the pile of skins out of the nest.

Shao Xuan also wanted to bring the worm skin over. The tribe was too scarce of materials, so he tried to get any good things. The worm skin might also be a rare good thing, but the white worms didn’t care about it. Kick out of the nest.

Originally worried that the insect skin would be blown by the violent wind, but didn’t want to. The next moment Shao Xuan saw that the kicked insect skin fell straight down and hit the ice below with a bang. ring.

Shao Xuan was stunned looking at the pit smashed out by the worm skin.

Even if the worm skin is so heavy, the white worm itself will definitely be heavier. I really can’t see it.

It is impossible for Shao Xuan to go directly to retrieve the worm skins. The white worm still stays in the nest to rest. He has to wait for the opportunity.

And this opportunity is one night.

When the sun rose again, the white worm that had shed its skin all night climbed up the mountain like a ghost, and Shao Xuancai went to pick up the worm skin that had fallen into the snow. After a night, the insect skin was covered with ice and snow.

Shao Xuan picked up the worm skin after pushing away the snow on it. The heaviness of the start is completely different from the appearance of this insect skin, but for people who often move rocks in the tribe, this weight can bear.

Shao Xuan held the transparent insect skin in his hand, and the lines on his palm could be clearly seen. Pulling hard, it didn’t break.

It really is a good thing.

Shao Xuan rolled up the worm skin, tied it with the leather rope in the animal skin bag, and took it with him.

After searching around the nest, no other insect skins were found, so Shao Xuan cleared the surrounding traces and went up the mountain.

After that, Shao Xuan went to look for other white insects, followed their footprints, found the insect nest, and picked up two more insect skins, but did not see the rest. Maybe they haven’t shed their skins yet, or maybe they kicked too much. Far away, the worm skin was not around, and it might even roll down the mountain wrapped in snow. In several places, Shao Xuan saw traces of falling snow. Such Shao Xuan can’t help it.

When Shao Xuan looked for the insect nest to collect the insect skins, Shao Xuan found that the bodies of the white insects were becoming transparent. The body was originally white, but gradually became translucent, and the transparency increased day by day.

Finally on this day, the white worms disappeared collectively, and Shao Xuan was in the worm’s nest and saw the white worms that had become pupae. There is no cocoon, but the surrounding silk is thicker.

The pupa is also transparent, with edges and corners. At first glance, it looks like a transparent ice cube. If you don’t look closely, it is not easy to see that there is such a pupa there.

I don’t know how long this pupa will last.

Shao Xuan would go down the mountain every few days to take a look. The detailed locations of the nests of stone worms he knew were recorded in his mind, so it was not difficult to find them. In the rest of the time, Shao Xuan would slowly absorb the energy brought by the ice on the icicles. He found that in this place, when he calmed down, his heart was very peaceful and very suitable for absorption.

The energy on the ice cube is not ordinary energy. It is different from the strong energy contained in the fire crystal, and it is not pure. However, the energy of the fire crystal can only play an auxiliary effect on Shao Xuan, and the totem in the sea of ​​consciousness has no substantial change at all. This is different from Shao Xuan and the rest of the tribe.

And the ice on the icicle, every time it absorbs, there will be a very small trace of the energy contained in it, and it will be collected in the totem. This is the fundamental reason that supports Shao Xuan’s continuous operation of the totem.

The two moons in the night sky gradually became rounder, getting closer and closer, and getting brighter at night.

On this day, the bimonthly coincides.

Shao Xuan walked out of the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain and looked at the moon in the night sky.

When I was in the tribe, I could hear the roar of beasts in the mountains and forests in the distance. But here, it was very quiet.

I can’t hear any birds and beasts, like being isolated from the world.

From the first hunt of this year to the coincidence of the bimonthly, almost half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, Shao Xuan felt that something was happening under the steep slope.

Thinking of the white worms that became pupae, Shao Xuan decided to go down the mountain to take a look.

This night, under the overlapping moon, everything around is like daylight.

Such a night is an extraordinary night for wild beasts and fierce beasts.

Therefore, Shao Xuan was also very careful when he went down the mountain.

When he finally arrived near the white worm’s nest, what Shao Xuan saw was a much smaller worm body coming out of the nest. It looks like a butterfly without wings and two rod-shaped tentacles.

Waiting for it to climb out, climb on the raised rock, white light like electricity, emitted from its body, forming the shape of a wing, and stretched out.

The wings grew bigger and bigger until the raised rock was almost hidden.

The white fluorescent wings slowly flapped twice, the wings stood up and rested for a while, then the worm jumped off the rock, flapped its wings, and flew away.

Looking at the distance, there are also some small white light spots, which are white insects elsewhere on the mountain.

The white worms that became pupae turned into butterflies at the same time that night.

There is no starlight in the night sky, these bright white flying butterflies are like stars moving tonight.

There is still a cold wind with ice and snow around, but it does not seem to have any effect on them, and it still flies steadily, flying farther and farther.

Shao Xuan stood there, watching the dots of light become smaller and smaller, until they disappeared, then he retracted his gaze and placed it in the white worm’s nest.

The silk is still there.

If you continue to stay there, no one will move for a long time, and the wire mesh will be blocked by wind and snow. When the white worm turns into a pupa, there will be a thick layer of ice and snow on that layer of wire.

Shao Xuan went over and pulled the silk. These silks were not easy to cut. During this time, Shao Xuan studied the insect skins. He found that the wrinkled insect skins were pulled directly, and it was not easy to level them, but if the totem was instilled It’s much simpler if it is strong.

Shao Xuan also used the same method to take these silks.

Originally, after Shao Xuan instilled the power of a totem, the silk tightly clinging to the rock, almost integrated with the rock, pulled it off the rock with a slight force.

Unlike the heavy skins that the white worms shed, these silks are very light, which makes Shao Xuan even more happy.

Nothing was left in the nest of the stone worms, and the broken pupae were not seen. I don’t know if it was kicked down the mountain early, or it was broken by itself, or the white worms ate it by themselves?

It doesn’t matter if you can’t find it. For Shao Xuan, getting these silks is already the biggest gain tonight.

I ran several places one after another, copied the old nests of the white insects, and got a lot of silk. Of course, the white insects don’t care about these silks, and if they do, they won’t stay here. There are several nests in which the wire mesh has been cut and bitten, and then the white insects let it flutter in the wind.

Shao Xuan’s rewinding action lasted for two days, and at this time, the new giant eagle also came.

Just like when Chai was waiting for the eagles to come, these giant eagles were very tired and looked very bad physically, just like old men in their twilight years.

These giant eagles came one after another, let Shao Xuan know, perhaps, they will soon come back.

Because giant eagles gathered on the ice sheet again, Shao Xuan no longer runs around, waiting at the place where he stood with them at the beginning, trying to weaken his own sense of existence.

Shao Xuan gnawed the ice while watching the giant eagles passing by.

While nibbling, Shao Xuan realized something was wrong, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a giant eagle fall down, and fell in front of Shao Xuan with a bang.

The eagle head was not far from Shao Xuan, and he could see very clearly.

For a time, the big eye turned to the small eye.
