Chapter 312 [Thunder under the Moon] - Attack of the Wolf
"Schiff, have you found any traces?"

After going around in a circle, he knocked away a few blind puppy dragons, and Guta looked at the dog at his feet who lowered his head and sniffed the ground.

Thanks to his keen sense of smell, Schiff can easily distinguish the smell of large monsters.

But the interval should not be too long, even if there is no influence of rain or other factors, generally it should not exceed 12 hours, otherwise the intensity of the smell will be severely weakened.

"Ow~"

"Still haven't found it... Could it be that the village head was frightened and left?"

Guta said to himself suspiciously.

This possibility is actually not small.

Monsters also know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. When facing those stronger individuals, it is a very common choice to choose to leave this area and look for food elsewhere.

It's not a vegetarian dragon species, such as ceratopsian, raptorosaurus, tail mallet dragon, etc., with such iron heads.

"Probably not, because other hunters have encountered Thunder Wolf Dragon recently."

After Qiye finished speaking, she suddenly squatted down.

"what happened?"

The ancient pagoda slowly approached, and then noticed a small bug corpse under Qiye's feet.

Different from the black shell of most insects, the carapace of this insect has a plastic-like transparent texture, and the body organs inside can be vaguely seen.

A pair of wings that stopped swinging a long time ago reflected colorful iridescent light in the sun.

"Isn't this the Lightning Bug?"

Although Guta didn't recognize it, Nia at the side said its name in one go.

Lightning Bug, as the name suggests, is an insect that can release a certain intensity of electric current.

Benefiting from the discharge organs in its body, as well as its special body structure, every time it discharges, the color of itself is almost blue due to the flow of current in the body.

At night, the thunder bug will turn into a moving light source at night, just like the firefly on the earth.

In terms of life span, the two are also surprisingly consistent.

At the same time, the most well-known point of the Lightning Bug is the paralysis trap associated with it.

Yes, the most important raw material of the paralysis traps that hunters usually use is the thunder bug.

Although there are other materials that can replace the Thunder Bug, the effect will be somewhat compromised.

Lei Guangchong: I still have to come!

Lei Guangchong: Wait, what am I proud of? !

"Are lightning bugs common here?" Guta turned to look at Mongoro.

The latter shook his head decisively.

"I've never seen lightning worms in this area. If I really want to say it, it's farther away, almost to the point where I can see the Lingfeng Peak. I can see a lot of lightning worms there in summer."

Mongoro introduced it in a familiar manner, not caring about the strange eyes of others.

This guy can run far enough.

Lingfeng, isn't that completely out of the communication range of Jieyun Village?

The distance marked on the map seems to be 150 kilometers, or a straight line distance...

"I'm wondering if there is any specific connection between the Lightning Insect and the Thunder Wolf Dragon?"

Without the slightest fear of insects that ordinary girls have, Qiye directly grabbed the corpse of the thunder bug, turned it up and down and observed it for a while.

Aqua on the side reacted like a normal girl, she didn't even dare to look at the insect corpse...

wait, right?

Aren't you a bug stick? There's a butterfly the size of a washbasin parked on your arm. Why are you afraid of bugs? ! !

Guta complained wildly in his heart.

"The body of the Lightning Insect has no external injuries, it should have died naturally."

"Ah, I more or less saw it."

"So, what does this mean?"

Guta wasn't trying to argue, but really didn't understand what could be analyzed from this point.

Qiye dropped Lei Guangchong's body casually, clapped his hands, and explained:

"The life cycle of thunder bugs is very short. In order to complete courtship as quickly as possible, their own discharge organs will be in a state of continuous discharge for a long time, so as to create enough light at night to attract females."

"Thanks to this, the joints and internal organs of Lei Guangworm's body will also be damaged to varying degrees due to excessive load."

"But this thunder worm..." At the end of the sentence, Guta also found something wrong.

"Yes, it's intact."

"As far as I know, there are only two possibilities for this to happen."

Qiye stretched out two fingers, and looked at the companions who did not know when they had gathered in a circle.

"The first type, the lightning worms gather in large numbers and can easily find a mate for mating, so they no longer perform continuous discharge."

"Secondly, the Lightning Bug has received the current supply from the outside world, so it no longer needs to work hard to generate electricity through its own discharge organs, and the pure external current will not cause damage to the internal body organs of the Lightning Bug."

After slightly simulating the two situations in his brain, Guta quickly understood what Qiye meant.

Considering the phototaxis and electricity demand of the Lightning Worm, no matter which of the above situations, the Thunder Wolf Dragon, which is suspected to have its own electricity, will become the best choice for the Lightning Worm.

"The brightness of the Thunder Worm during the day is not conspicuous. If you want to find the Thunder Wolf Dragon by tracking them, you have to wait until nightfall."

To be honest, Nia was a little hesitant.

Combat at night, for hunters whose eyesight is severely impaired, the danger can be described as rising rapidly.

"That's why our two teams cooperated." Qiye patted his chest with a smile, and made a barren sound as expected.

Probably because nutrition goes to the brain, the captain of the Black Rock team has a smooth road ahead.

"Let's search for several possible haunts in the surrounding area. If it still doesn't work, we will keep vigil."

Guta made up his mind decisively.

In this regard, everyone has no objection.

As for Mongoro, he has no right to speak for the time being.

……

When the cloak of night falls from the sky, a white full moon hangs high in the sky.

In the silence, countless rustling sounds sounded one after another.

A large group of vegetarian and omnivorous monsters began to return to this fruit forest full of "delicious delicacies".

As the largest fruit forest within ten kilometers, it is full of green and yellow immature fruits, as well as a large number of rhizomes and delicate vegetation, making it a perfect paradise for vegetarians.

At the same time, because of the early spring this year, the flower buds of the fruit trees opened earlier, attracting a large number of bees, and built hives on the trees in groups.

The first ones to appear are the elf deer and herbivorous dragons at the bottom of the ecology. Their number has always been the largest, but their needs are also the simplest.

Whether it's razor-sharp thorn leaves or the bitter, chewy bittern berry, they'll take it all.

As they returned one after another, other larger creatures also began to come out of the darkness one after another at a leisurely pace.

"Hurr~ Gurr"

Soon, a fat green bear forcefully squeezed away the obstructive wild boar king, and hurriedly came under a fruit tree.

Above its head, a hive almost as big as its head hung high in the treetops.

Although this beehive is not as big as the group of humans it encountered during the day, it is still the largest one it can find.

Although it took three moons to rise and failed to get it done, the Grizzly Bear had a hunch that tonight, he would definitely succeed!

Brave bears, not afraid of difficulties!
Let's go!
The Wild Boar King was a little dissatisfied, "Heng Chi~Heng Chi" let out a burst of white gas from his mouth, but he did not attack this stupid bear after all.

During the day, he was inexplicably beaten up by a white cat. Right now, his body is in pain, and he doesn't want to cause more trouble.

Anyway, the recipes of the two of them don't overlap, so it's true to have a hot meal quickly.

Somewhat comically, it slammed its back against the tree with all its strength, and the blue bear looked pitifully at the unmoving beehive above its head, almost drooling all over the floor.

Although it is an omnivorous animal, it occasionally eats fish or something, but as a bear, its favorite must be sweet and greasy honey~
Even though fish is the main source of food to maintain its own calories, and honey is at best a condiment, but even with the simple wisdom of the Grizzly Beast, it can still clearly realize that the former is only the food needed for survival, and the latter is the food it needs. Refreshing treat!

It's a pity that he can't climb trees, otherwise there won't be any beehives left in the surrounding tens of miles.

The brain capacity of the green bear beast walnut is so big, it can't imagine the regeneration of resources.

After rubbing against it a few more times, seeing the thick and thin giant tree embraced by the three people began to shake, the head of the green bear also shook along with the beehive on the branch.

It's coming down... It's coming... It's going to fall!

A pair of bears stared at the ground with big eyes, and the blue bear beast's red heart rested on the swaying beehive.

But it's a pity that no matter how hard you try, the honeycomb will not fall off as if stuck with glue.

"Roar!" The green bear roared angrily, slapped the giant tree with a slap, and turned to leave in a low mood.

Not far away is a beehive that is a few sizes smaller, why don't you work harder.

pat~
Almost at the same time, a hard object fell vertically on the top of the blue bear beast's head, making the latter furious from embarrassment.

This bear is already so unlucky, who will mess with me? !

As soon as he turned his head, the Blue Bear saw an orange hive with swarms of bees constantly floating out.

I was wrong, today is Ben's lucky day!

"Suck it~"

Ignoring the bees poking at his face, the Grizzly Bear embraced the huge hive, licked it up and down, and narrowed its eyes happily.

Is this the taste of heaven~
The Grizzly Beast savored the fruit of its hard work selflessly, but didn't notice that all the monsters beside it, including the Wild Boar King, began to evacuate at the speed of light as if they had seen a ghost.

Dots of blue light drifted out from the depths of the darkness, with flickering arcs that flickered on and off.

The crisp and steady sound of electric crackling, accompanied by the appearance of a huge black shadow, reached an unprecedented peak.

The layered blue lines lit up one after another like luminous lights, revealing the vague outline of the monster.

It looks like a wolf with towering horns, and its sound is more intense and thunderous.

It is called its name——

Thunder Wolf!
