Chapter 143 Butterfly
Behind this layer of silk, under the angle between the protruding rocks and the mountain wall, Shao Xuan did not find anything special, only some crawling marks.
I searched carefully again, but I couldn't even find any shit.
I thought I would find some treasure, but I didn’t expect that the white worm’s nest was so clean.
Shao Xuan looked down the steep slope and found no trace of the white worm's movement. It was obvious that the white worm had not gone down any further in the near future.
After finding the white worm's nest, there was no other harvest. Shao Xuan planned to go back. After walking two steps, he stopped and thought about it. Shao Xuan walked behind a protruding rock not far from this place. Before leaving, he cleaned up the traces he had walked by, and then leaned against the rock to wait.
Although there is sunshine, the ice particles that are smashed down every now and then are not something that makes people enjoy. The temperature does not rise, but when the sunlight gradually disappears, the temperature drops sharply.
However, for Shao Xuan, who is already accustomed to the temperature on the top of the mountain, he can still tolerate such temperatures and fall asleep.
When the sun only left a little light in the horizon, the white worm came back.
Because every step you take is to hook the ice and rocks, it will naturally make a sound. Shao Xuan originally closed his eyes and rested, but when he heard the movement, he quickly looked over.
From the angle chosen by Shao Xuan, he could clearly see the movement of the white worm outside and inside the nest.
Although the sun has already set, the two moons in the sky, the light provided by Shao Xuan can also let Shao Xuan see the situation there.
After returning to the nest after eating, the white worm excreted.
One white translucent ice hockey after another was pulled out from the tail.
After the white worm pulled the ice hockey pucks one by one.
Shao Xuan: "..." This insect is indeed obsessed with cleanliness. He still knows that he is not piled up shit in the "nest".
After eating and drinking enough to solve the metabolic waste, the white worm lies in the nest to rest, motionless.
Shao Xuan didn't go to see it anymore and slept against the rocks.
The next day, before the sun came out, the white worm came out of the nest.
After it, Shao Xuan also went up the mountain.
In the next few days, Shao Xuan did not go down the mountain. He did not follow the white worm, but continued to check other places on the ice field. After familiarizing with the terrain here, Shao Xuan also let go of his speed.
A few days later, Shao Xuan returned to his original location, not because he turned back, but because this ice field was circular and after walking around, he would naturally return here. During this process, Shao Xuan encountered several insects like white worms, but he did not spend any more time tracking them.
When she returned to her previous departure location, Shao Xuan did not see the figure of the white worm. Looking at other places, there were no traces of the white worm crawling.
Curiously, Shao Xuan went down the mountain and came to the white worm's nest to investigate and happened to see the worm that had just shedded his skin.
The shedded insect skin is the same color as the silk it spits out, transparent.
Perhaps it was because it had just shedded its skin and it was a little tired. After resting for a while, it moved and kicked the skin piled there out of the nest.
Shao Xuan also wanted to get the insect skin over to see. The tribe was too scarce and he tried every means to get any good things. The insect skin might be a rare good thing, but the white worm kicked out of the nest without any concern.
I was originally worried that the insect skin would be blown away by the strong wind, but I didn't expect that the next moment, Shao Xuan saw that the insect skin that was kicked fell down and hit the ice ground below, making a bang.
Looking at the pit hit by the insect skin, Shao Xuan was stunned.
Even if the insect skin is so heavy, the white worm itself will definitely be heavier. It is really impossible to tell.
Shao Xuan could not go directly to catch the insect skin now. The white worm was still in the nest to rest and had to wait for the opportunity.
And this opportunity is one night.
After the sun rose again, the white worms that had shed their skin for a night were climbing up the mountain like evil spirits, Shao Xuan went over to pick up the insect skin that had smashed into the snow. After a night, the insect skin was covered with ice and snow.
Pulling away the snow on it, Shao Xuan picked up the insect skin. The heaviness of the purchase was completely different from the appearance of the insect skin. However, for those who often move stones in the tribe, this weight is still acceptable.
Shao Xuan held the transparent insect skin in his hand and could clearly see the patterns on his palm. He pulled it hard, but it didn't break it.
It's indeed a good thing.
Shao Xuan rolled up the insect skin, tied it with the leather rope in the animal skin bag, and carried it with him.
After searching around the nest, no other insect skin was found. Shao Xuan cleared the traces around him and went up the mountain.
Afterwards, Shao Xuan went to search for several other white worms, followed their footprints, found the insect nest, and picked up two more insect skins. The rest were not seen. Perhaps they had not shed their skins yet, or perhaps they kicked too far, and the insect skins were not around, and they might even roll down the mountain in snow. In several places, Shao Xuan saw traces of snow sliding. Shao Xuan had no choice.
When Shao Xuan was looking for the insect nest to collect the insect skin, Shao Xuan found that the bodies of the white insects were becoming transparent. They were originally snow-white all over, but gradually, they became translucent and their transparency increased day by day.
Finally, the white worms disappeared collectively. Shao Xuan saw the white worms that had turned into pupa in the insect nest. There were no cocoons, but the layer of silk around them was thicker.
The pupa is also transparent and has edges and corners. At first glance, it looks very similar to transparent ice cubes. If you don’t look carefully, it is not easy to see that there is such a pupa there.
I don't know how long such a pupa will last.
Shao Xuan would go down the mountain to take a look every few days. The detailed locations of the stone insect nests he knew were recorded in his mind, so it was not difficult to find. At the other time, Shao Xuan would slowly absorb the energy brought by the ice on the icicles. He found that when he calmed down, his heart was very peaceful and very suitable for absorption.
The energy on the ice is not ordinary energy. It contains such strong energy and is not pure. However, the energy of the fire crystal can only serve as an auxiliary effect to Shao Xuan. There is no substantial change in the totem in the sea of consciousness. This is different from Shao Xuan and other people in the tribe.
Every time the ice cubes on the icicles are absorbed, a very small trace of energy contained in them will be collected into the totem. This is the fundamental reason that supports Shao Xuan to continuously operate the totem power.
The two moons in the night sky gradually became rounder and closer, and the night became brighter and brighter.
On this day, the two months overlap.
Shao Xuan walked out of the clouds and mist in the ice field on the top of the mountain and looked at the moon in the night sky.
When in the tribe, you can hear the roar of wild beasts in the mountains and forests in the distance. But here, it is extremely quiet.
You cannot hear any birds and beasts singing, as if you are isolated from the world.
From the first hunt this year to the two-month overlap, nearly half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Shao Xuan felt something seemed to be happening under the steep slope.
Thinking of the white worms that turned into pupa, Shao Xuan decided to go down the mountain to take a look.
That night, under the overlapping moon, everything around it was like day.
Such a night is an unusual night for wild beasts and ferocious beasts.
Therefore, Shao Xuan was extremely careful when going down the mountain.
When he finally arrived near a white worm nest, Shao Xuan saw a much smaller insect body that came out of the nest. It looked like a butterfly without wings and two rod-shaped tentacles.
Wait for it to climb out, climb up the raised rock, white light like light, emits from its body, and stretches out to form a wing shape, and stretches out.
The wings became bigger and bigger, almost blocking the raised rock.
The wings shining with white fluorescent slowly flapped twice, stood up, rested for a while, and then the insect jumped down the rock, flapped its wings, and flew away in the distance.
Looking into the distance, there are also some small white light spots.
The white worms that turned into pupa all turned into butterflies this night.
There is no starlight in the night sky, these white flying butterflies are like the stars that will be active tonight.
There is still a cold wind with ice and snow around it, but it does not seem to have any impact on them. It is still flying steadily, flying further and further.
Shao Xuan stood there, watching the light spots become smaller and smaller, until they disappeared, and then they retracted their gaze and placed them on 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 will be blocked by wind and snow. During the time when the white worm turns into a pupa, there will be a thick layer of ice and snow on the silk.
Shao Xuan went over and pulled the silk, and these silks were not easy to cut. During this period, Shao Xuan had studied insect skins and found that the wrinkled insect skins were not easy to flatten, but if they were instilled with the power of totem, it would be much easier.
Shao Xuan also used the same method to get these silks.
Originally, the silk that was tightly attached to the rock and almost integrated with the rock, after Shao Xuan instilled the power of totem, pulled it down from the rock with a little force.
Unlike the heavy skin shed by the white worm, these silks are very light, which makes Shao Xuan even more happy.
Nothing was left in the stone worm's nest, and no breaking pupa was seen. I wonder if it was kicked down the mountain early, or if it was cracked by itself, or if it was eaten by those white worms themselves?
It doesn’t matter if you can’t find it. For Shao Xuan, being able to get these silk is already the biggest gain tonight.
I went to several places in succession, copied the old nests of those white worms, and got a lot of silk. Of course, these silk white worms didn't care about it, and if they were concerned, they wouldn't stay here. There were several nests, and the wire mesh was cut and bitten, and then let them flutter in the wind.
The wire-collection action lasted for two days, and at this time, a new giant eagle also came.
Like Zhazha when she was waiting for the eagle to come, these giant eagles were very tired and looked very bad in their physical condition, just like old men in their twilight years.
The successive arrival of these giant eagles made Shao Xuan know that perhaps, Zhazha and they were coming back soon.
Because giant eagles gathered on the ice field again, Shao Xuan no longer ran around, waiting where they initially stood with Zhazha, trying to weaken his sense of existence.
While chewing on the ice, Shao Xuan was paying attention to the giant eagles passing by here around him.
As she was chewing, Shao Xuan realized something was wrong. As soon as he looked up, he saw a giant eagle falling down and fell in front of Shao Xuan with a bang.
The eagle head was just not far from Shao Xuan, and he could see it very clearly.
For a moment, big eyes face small eyes.
