I am hungry in the end of the natural disasters, I have space to fill up the supplies

Chapter 811: Ground Bug

Xiaohong's back was wide enough to accommodate four people. She summoned Zeng Yangping, who was studying the bones of a saber-toothed tiger in the space.

Before Zeng Yangping could figure out the situation, Jiu grabbed him and steady him. Xiaohong was driven by Su Mi to dive slightly downwards.

Zeng Yangping's eyesight was not as good as Su Mi and Jiu's, but as Xiao Hong dived, he also noticed something strange when they got closer and closer to the big beast in the valley and under the rubble.

"That's... ah! It's a groundworm!"

"Groundworm? This thing is called a groundworm?"

"The size of these giant ground insects below looks like they are mutated, but upon closer inspection, they are not! Girl, is there any way to catch one and bring it into space?"

Su Mi turned around and looked at Jiu. Seeing Jiu shaking his head, she said helplessly.

"Mr. Zeng, I'm afraid these big insects can't enter the space. I can't control them."

Zeng Yangping was horrified, "What? There are lives that you can't control in your space? How is this possible!"

"It's hard for me to explain, I'll explain it in detail later. Mr. Zeng, do you know the characteristics of this insect's habits?"

"When I was young, I did some archaeological research on this kind of insect as part of my minor course in paleontology, so I know a lot about it.

So I can tell at a glance that the current state of this insect is a kind of mutation, but I think it is more appropriate to call it atavism. "

"Atavism?"

"The shell of the groundworm is hard, and it lives deep underground all year round, with a cold body. They are used to using their chirping to drive away natural enemies and attract prey. According to my research, this is just one of their habits.

Female ground insects secrete a special mucus at certain times of the year. This mucus has a special aroma that can attract male ground insects and stimulate other male animals in the surrounding area to go into estrus.

At that time, a female researcher in our laboratory collected a lot of female insect specimens, including female adult ground insects that had evolved to the present day, extracted their mucus and conducted research for five years.

Finally, it was discovered that this mucus not only repels insects and attracts animals, but also contains a hormone that stimulates female pregnancy. But..."

Su Mi and the other person were listening attentively, and their attention perked up by the turn in Zeng Yangping's words.

"Just what?"

Zeng Yangping sighed, "However, once the liquid secreted by the female ground insect leaves its body organs, its effect will be greatly weakened and will disappear in a short time."

"The large insects below clearly have the unique body features of modern ground insects, except that their ventral horns have obviously undergone significant degeneration, and the mouthparts and horns on their heads are also very different from those of modern ground insects.

So I think that the bodies of these ground insects have been mutated due to the influence of doomsday, but their morphology is progressing in the direction of reversion to their ancestral form.

What the future will be like is really worrying! ”

After Su Mi sent Zeng Yangping back to the space, Jiu said.

"This insect is very powerful, and its mouthparts can spray liquid that burns the skin and eyes. It is very dangerous. Let's patrol the sky over this area to see how many of these insects there are."

Su Mi also gave up the idea of ​​catching a big insect into the space.

However, just as Xiaohong and the other two began to patrol in the air, the big beast below began to become restless.

The night calls that could affect her hearing and cause tinnitus came one after another. Deeper underground, different calls began to drill into her eardrums, making her feel irritated.

Xiao Hong seemed to have sensed Su Mi's situation and swooped down suddenly. When she was less than 500 meters away from the nearest big beast, she suddenly let out a hissing sound.

"hold head high!"

Su Mi originally thought that this would attract a backlash from the insect swarm below, but unexpectedly, the chirping of insects below completely became silent after Xiao Hong's hissing.

Xiao Hong proudly flapped her wings and raised her altitude: "Master, master! They are afraid of me! I am so awesome!"
