What about "useless things"? !
That's all for hatching, Angel actually said that it was a suspected female worm!
Kante only felt that the inner defense line was like a collapsing snow wall, peeling off a little bit, revealing a mottled old heart.
"Female worm? How is this possible! The female worm died out earlier than the deformed soft worm, and there is no chance that there will be any fish that slip through the net." Kanter said dryly.
"However, if it's not the female worm, why can it lay eggs and hatch?" Angel wondered.
Spawn and hatch? !
Kanter only felt the corners of his mouth begin to twitch, "You're wrong, maybe it's not a soft bug."
Angel was even more puzzled: "But isn't this worm egg given to me by adults?"
Kanter was speechless. Although his heart was extremely resistant to the fact that he might have sent a "mother's egg", he couldn't help but look into the nest.
Seeing this, he was completely stunned.
He hadn't looked into the deepest depths, and just by seeing the layers of soft worm corpses outside, he had already determined a fact in his heart.
At the beginning, he gave Angel only a few worm eggs, but looking at the corpse of this soft worm, there are at least dozens!
There is no female worm to reproduce new eggs, which is simply unexplainable!
When he saw clearly the hall with the "snot monster" in the depths of the worm's nest, he immediately closed his eyes, and at the same time, he began to curse himself for mistaking pearls for fish eyes.
This is the female worm of the soft worm!
It was exactly the same as what was recorded in the information he had seen!
"Lord Kanter, isn't this really a female worm?" Angel asked again, as if fate opened a bow and shot an arrow again, hitting Kanter's chest.
Kante resisted the urge to vomit blood and said with difficulty: "This... this is indeed... a female worm."
"Really?!" Angel's eyes lit up.
"Really." Kant felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, but he had to maintain the demeanor of an elder on his face, and even praised against his will: "You raised... very good."
Seeing Angel holding the worm's nest in surprise, Kanter felt that his wandering heart was blown by the rain and the wind again, and at the same time, he was crushed over and over again with his feet.
He was really blind in the first place! Kanter couldn't help but blame himself.
However, after the drama in his heart was played, Kanter returned to reality. Is he really blind? Carefully recalling the situation when he got the eggs, he actually checked them carefully.
It was even given to other wizards for appraisal, and the final result was that these were ordinary soft bug eggs, and their vitality was not too vigorous. The only thing worth mentioning is that the worm nest is very good, and it even has the breath of the female worm.
Could it be that it was because of the female worm's breath in the worm's nest that it encouraged the hatching of the worm's eggs, and even a female worm appeared
Kanter personally doesn't believe it.
He took over the worm's nest from Angel again, ready to observe carefully.
When he got serious, many details that had been overlooked before were brought back to the case: "Why are there so many corpses of soft bugs on the periphery? Why are soft bugs always guarding an invisible border, just like there are natural enemies on the opposite side. ?"
Regarding these two questions, Angel said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, it's because I have a dream weaver ant that likes to occupy the magpie's nest."
Angel's eloquent words gave Kante a general idea. But this was the first time he had heard that dream weavers would eat soft worms
"Although the dream weaver ants are not precious, they have been extinct for many years. Unexpectedly, you still have one." After Kanter said this, he continued to look inside the worm nest.
Looking at it, he found another important clue.
The inside of the worm's nest was full of the smell of energy essence and blood. He searched carefully, but in the end, he saw the reserve hall of Akso's blood essence on the side of the hall.
"Is this, a wizard-level monster blood essence?"
"Yes, both the weaver ants and the soft bugs like the blood of Warcraft. Before, the dream weavers put the blood essence under the eggs of the soft bugs, which made the eggs of the soft bugs hatch. Happening."
This time, Kante was even more confused. Dream weaver ants not only eat soft worms, but they also raise worm eggs
Moreover, Kanter also knew at the beginning that some demonic beasts have abundant energy and are suitable for raising demonic insects. Therefore, he also used the blood of demon beasts to raise these worm eggs, but he has never absorbed a single worm egg, so it was identified by some of his friends that the worm eggs were not very viable.
He didn't make the soft bug eggs appear strange by using the blood of the demon beast, why did Angel do it
Is it because of the dream weavers, or is it because of blood essence
Kanter cheekily asked Angel for a drop of blood essence, looking at the blood crystals that exuded rich anger in his hand, Kanter hesitated and put it in his mouth.
In an instant, a powerful force of life flowed out from the blood.
After this kind of life force poured out, it immediately formed a hedge against Kante's own vitality. Although Kanter successfully rejected this kind of life force in the end, in the early stage of defense, the explosive force of that kind of life almost broke his defense line. It can be seen how powerful the energy contained in blood essence is!
What's more, it's just a drop of blood.
A strange color flashed in Kanter's eyes, and then he carefully probed for the information revealed in the blood essence. After a long while, Kanter's face suddenly became stunned.
There is a strong vitality in the blood essence, and its vitality is the most rare among the blood essence of the monsters he has seen.
Although for a wizard-level life form like him, this drop of blood essence is like highly poisonous. But for mortals, or elementary life, the vitality in it is enough to keep people alive forever.
That is to say, relying on this drop of blood essence, it is enough to give the eggs continuous and long-lasting vitality.
In this way, it is very likely that the eggs will be revived and hatched.
Moreover, Kanter also felt an extremely secret and strange aura in this drop of blood essence. This aura was very obscure, a bit like the smell of some medical schools that Kante went to when he was a mortal.
Kanter couldn't help but ask, "What kind of monster's blood is this?"
"I don't know either, but it is said to be the blood of a snake."
Looking at Angel's wandering eyes, how could Kante know that Angel was lying. However, the essence and blood of snakes should be real.
Kanter didn't ask, after all, he was an apprentice of an old friend, and he himself valued Angel's potential.
"This monster's blood essence has a very good effect on elementary life, and it can even keep people alive forever." Kanter sighed with emotion.
When Angel heard it, he remembered Akso's blood essence, but it maintained Duoduo's lifespan for thousands of years, and even his functions still maintained youth.
Thinking of this, Angel couldn't help thinking of Jon.
Akso's blood, is it useful to Jon? Perhaps, when Sanders returns, he can ask.
"The vitality in the blood essence of this monster may indeed make the eggs hatch, but I think it's not enough to make the eggs hatch into female worms." Kanter looked at the corpses outside the nest, but his heart moved : "Perhaps, the weaver ants had some effect on the eggs of the soft bugs."
Do weaver ants still have a promoting effect on eggs? Angel looked at Kante suspiciously.
"According to some records I have seen, although the female worm is responsible for the reproduction of the entire swarm, its fertility rate is actually affected by the outside world. Generally speaking, the female worm will not be produced in large quantities, which will consume a lot of energy."
Kanter was thinking while explaining. Moreover, with the rapid rotation of thinking, many things that can't be figured out are becoming more logical.
"However, because of the emergence of the 'natural enemy' of the weaver ants, the female worms will reproduce in large numbers, and avoid being threatened by the war of attrition."
When Kante said this, Angel also understood instantly.
Just like a link in the ecological chain, they are both antagonistic, but from a certain level, they are also mutually reinforcing.
Perhaps, the birth of the female worm was also the result of "rearing the eggs" of the weaver ants. Because the swarm knew from the beginning that the soft worms could not deal with the dream weaver ants, and their birth would only become the nourishment of the dream weaver ants.
In the case of unwillingness to be born and die.
As a result, one of the eggs may have mutated under the stimulation of a certain hormone or pheromone.
And this mutated egg is the later female worm.
This can also explain everything that happened later. When the female worm knows that she is an "egg", the dream weaver ants will not move it, but will nurture it, so it will not hatch. It has been absorbing Akso's blood essence to accumulate strength.
Once hatched, it immediately competed with the dream weaver ants.
It has been maintained until now.
For the entire relationship to be established, there are actually two major prerequisites. The first is the abundance of vitality.
The Axor blood essence of a whole coffin that Angel obtained at the time solved the problem of vitality. After that, the female worms have no worries in the case of a large number of eggs.
The second premise is the number of natural enemies.
If there are a lot of dream weavers, then the swarm knows that it has no hope of winning, so there will be no female worms at all. Even if you take a step back, the female worm does hatch, and it will not lay a large number of eggs, because there is absolutely no hope of victory.
These two premises eventually led to the hatching of the eggs and the smooth birth of the female worms.
After realizing the truth, Kanter did not complain any more, because even if the eggs stayed with him, it was impossible to hatch them like Angel, or even hatch a female worm.
In the end, it was Angel's luck that led to this result.
"I once accidentally learned the name of a legendary great wizard of the Summoning Department, whose name is 'Heart of the Swarm'. I used to scoff at it, how could the swarm have a heart. Now that I think about it, maybe this is the heart of the swarm, As long as there is a ray of hope for survival, his heart will not die."
After Kanter sighed, his eyes looking at Angel became gentler.
Although he is also very jealous of Angel's good luck, it can be seen from this that his original vision was not wrong. Angel not only has high potential, but also luck.
"Cough cough, Angel."
Angel looked suspiciously.
Kanter said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you people of the magic lineage, you have never been to Lilith's house, and after this matter, after returning to the wizarding world, why don't you come to Lilith's house to live for a while? It just so happens that you and Qi Li can also cultivate a relationship."
Angel shuddered. Why did he talk to Kante when he talked to Qi Li from time to time
"This, let's see later." Angel said vaguely, and then quickly changed the subject: "Lord Kanter, since this is a female worm, can it give birth to a deformed soft worm?"
