The strange beetle-like creature paid no attention to the buzzing of thousands of bees.
After emerging from the hive, he turned around and ate the remains of the hive.
"Kacha kacha..."
After a short time, the entire hive was swallowed by the beetle, causing the beetle to increase in size by less than half.
"Hiss~"
After the beetle finished eating the hive, it made a cry, turned its compound eyes, and looked to the side, its gaze falling on the trees at the edge of the clearing.
The next moment, the six stubby legs under the abdomen exerted force together, supporting it to move towards the tree at a speed of less than one meter per second.
After more than ten seconds, it reached a tree with difficulty. It brought its head close, opened its mouth, and bit down hard on the trunk.
"Click!"
With a sound, the bark cracked and wood chips flew into the air. The beetle's teeth were like sharp blades, easily cutting into the trunk, swallowing the wood pieces into the mouth and swallowing them.
"Kakaka..."
The beetle repeated this action, eating very quickly. In just the blink of an eye, it tore a huge hole in the entire tree.
"boom!"
With a sound, the beetle lowered its head, which was covered with a thick black carapace, and hit the tree trunk hard. With a "click", the entire tree broke and it fell to the ground.
"Kacha kacha..."
The beetle lowered its body, biting and chewing faster, and soon the entire tree was eaten clean by it.
Not content with this, it turned around and chose another tree to approach and bite.
"Kacha kacha..."
Visible to the naked eye, trees fell one after another near the clearing, and were all swallowed up by beetles.
Not long after, a few tens of meters in radius became a bare wasteland.
The beetle's abdomen is stretched out to a round shape, like an over-inflated balloon, making people worried that it may explode next moment. The beetle also moved slower. The six short legs under its abdomen could barely touch the ground. It stopped eating trees. It took almost a minute for it to crawl back to the center of the clearing.
After crawling back, it lay down and heard a gurgling sound from its abdomen. A large ball of viscous green liquid flowed out from under it, emitting an extremely sour smell. It looks a bit like eating bad food and excreting it from the stomach, but when you get closer you will find that it is not the case.
After the viscous green liquid flowed out of the beetle's body, it seemed to be alive, spreading rapidly to the surroundings, and soon solidified, forming a film several millimeters thick.
Dark green lines appear on the surface of the film, which are special mycelium. The mycelium reproduces very quickly, and after a short time, it spreads all over the film, turning the film into a thick carpet.
The beetle stepped onto the fungus carpet, and its abdomen made a "gurgling" sound again. This time, there was no green liquid flowing out, but "eggs" the size of a human head were discharged one after another.
Calling them eggs is actually not accurate. The shells of these "eggs" are not hard at all, but soft and elastic. They are translucent. Through the light, you can vaguely see the strange creatures huddled tightly inside.
Weird "eggs" landed on the fungus carpet and rolled along the heights of the fungus carpet. The fungus carpet rises and falls slowly, controlling the "eggs" to be in a relatively loose state and evenly distributed throughout the fungus carpet.
After that, around each "egg", a large number of mycelium grows and wraps around the surface, and a small part penetrates into the inside of the "egg" shell, acting like an energy channel to supply energy.
"Dong dong dong!"
Under the influence of the bacteria carpet, the "eggs" began to hatch, and a sound similar to a heartbeat sounded inside.
In an instant, a series of "sting" sounds were heard, the shells of all the "eggs" were torn apart one after another, and dozens of bee-like creatures came out. Each of the creatures was about the size of a rooster, with no hair all over its body. It shook its body, shook off the translucent liquid, spread its two pairs of wings, and slowly rose into the air, hovering near the beetles.
The beetle's abdomen was completely shrunken at this time, and it looked very tired. It seemed that the birth of these dozens of weird bees took a lot of energy.
It lay quietly on the germ blanket. After several seconds, it raised its head and made a sound.
"Gugu~"
This sound sounded like an order. Dozens of large strange bees heard it and stopped wandering. They formed into groups of three and divided into more than a dozen teams and flew to the surrounding trees.
Flying close to the tree, a large strange bee approached with its head, almost half of its face split open, revealing its terrifying mouthparts, biting the tree trunk like a knife.
"Kakaka..."
The efficiency of a single large weird bee is far lower than that of a beetle, but when dozens of bees join together and cooperate with each other, it is greatly exceeded. I saw the surrounding trees breaking and falling to the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, and being quickly swallowed by large weird bees.
There seemed to be a space prop in the belly of the large weird bee. No matter how much wood it swallowed, it showed no sign of expansion. It doubled the area of the open space before stopping.
"Buzz buzz!"
The large strange bees flapped their wings and returned to the beetle. At this time, the beetle opened its mouth, and the large strange bees came forward one after another. The large strange bee opened its mouthparts, but instead of attacking the beetle, it spit out highly solidified translucent crystals, which fell into the beetle's mouth.
In one breath, the beetle swallowed all the crystals generated by dozens of large weird bees, and its shriveled abdomen expanded again.
"Gululu..."
The sound sounded, and the same transparent "eggs" as before were discharged, rolling down onto the fungus blanket and starting to hatch.
It can be seen that the number of "eggs" this time is greater than last time, reaching hundreds, and they are densely packed almost all over the carpet.
The beetle's consumption was also greater than last time. After laying out its "eggs", it lay down on the carpet and rested motionless.
"Shashasha..."
On the fungus blanket, the hyphae swelled and hatched the "eggs" with all their strength.
Above, a black cloud-like swarm of bees kept buzzing, as if they were celebrating and cheering.
Suddenly, with a "swipe" sound, a translucent wind blade more than half a meter long flew out of the forest nearby and blasted into the bee swarm.
"puff!"
Nearly a hundred bees were crushed to pieces by the wind blades, their wings and pieces of flesh flying everywhere, and the scene was chaotic.
This was just the beginning, and then more wind blades flew out, some continued to blast into the bee swarm, some flew towards the large strange bees that were chewing the trees again, some flew towards the "eggs" hatching on the fungus blanket, Some flew towards the beetles resting in the center of the carpet.
For a moment, there was chaos.
"Ho ho ho!"
In the surrounding forest, continuous animal sounds sounded, and then there was the sound of approaching Mercedes-Benz.
A tall and strong white wolf appeared in the field of vision, with extraordinary momentum. Behind it were densely packed demonized creatures. This was obviously a premeditated attack.
The timing of the attack was chosen just right: the beetles were in an extremely weak state due to overdraft hatching, the first batch of large strange bees hatched had become exhausted, and the second batch of large strange bees were still hatching and had no fighting capacity. The only ones that can fight back are swarms of small bees, but they can deal with individual demonized beasts, but they are unable to deal with a lineup of demonized creatures.
