Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 144 Butterfly
Behind this filament, beneath the angle between the raised rock and the mountain wall, Shao Xuan did not find anything special, just some climbing marks.
Looked hard again, didn't even find a shit.
I thought I'd find something, but I didn't expect the white worm's nest to be clean like this.
Shao Xuan looked down the steep slope and did not find any trace of the white worm activity. Obviously, the white worm did not go down again in the near future.
Found the white worm's nest, no other harvest, Shao Xuan intends to go back, took two steps, stop and think, Shao Xuan walked to the back of a prominent rock not far from here, and before leaving, cleaned up the traces of his own walk, then leaned back behind the rock and waited.
Though there is sunshine, the ice grains that fall from time to time are not enjoyable, and the temperature does not rise, but when the sun fades, the temperature drops sharply.
However, for Shao Xuan, who is already accustomed to the temperature at the top of the mountain, the temperature is still bearable and sleeping.
When the sun left only a slight light on the sky, the white bug returned.
Because every step of the way had to grab the ice and rock, it would naturally make a noise. Shao Xuan was supposed to rest with his eyes closed. When he heard the movement, he quickly looked over.
Shao Xuan chose the angle to clearly see the activity of the white worm outside and within the nest.
Though the sun has fallen, two rounds of moons in the sky, providing light, can also show Shao Xuan what's going on over there.
After eating back into the nest, the white worm excreted.
One white translucent hockey after the other, pulled out of the tail.
When the white bug was done, he kicked one of these hockey balls down the hill.
Shao Xuan: “…” This insect is definitely clean and knows not to pile shit in the “nest”.
After eating and drinking enough to solve the metabolic waste, the white worm rests in its nest and does not move.
Shao Xuan stopped looking and slept on the rock.
The next day, when the sun was not fully out, the white worm left the nest.
After it, Shao Xuan also went up the mountain.
Shao Xuan did not go down the mountain for the next few days and did not follow the white worm. Instead, he continued to look elsewhere on the ice field. After familiarizing himself with the terrain, Shao Xuan also let go of speed.
A few days later, Shao Xuan returned to his original location, not as a return, but because the ice sheet, which was circular, would naturally return here after a lap. In the process, Shao Xuan encountered several more worms like white worms, but did not spend any more time tracking them.
Returning to the previous departure point, Shao Xuan did not see the figure of the white worm, look elsewhere, and there was no sign of the white worm climbing.
Curiosity, Shao Xuanshan came down to the white bug's nest and saw the newly skinned bug.
The decaying worm skin is a color with the silk it spits, transparent.
Perhaps it moved because it had just been skinned, it was a little tired, it rested for a while, and it kicked the hide out of its nest.
Shao Xuan also wanted to bring the insect skin to see, the material in the tribe is too scarce, if there is anything good, try to get it. The insect skin may also be a rare good thing, but the white insect kicked it out of the nest without any concern.
Originally worried that the wormskin would be wiped away by the fierce wind, but didn't want to, the next moment Shao Xuan saw, kicked down the wormskin, straight down, smashed on the ice floor below, and made a bang.
Shao Xuan stunned looking at the pit that had been smashed out by the wormskin.
Even the skin of the worm is so heavy, the white worm itself will definitely be heavier. I can't really tell.
Shao Xuan is also unlikely to go directly to get the worm skin. The white worm stays in the nest to rest, waiting for an opportunity.
And this opportunity, first class, is one night.
When the sun rises again, and after a night of skinning, Shao Xuan climbs up the mountain like a white bug evil devil, and Shao Xuan only goes to pick up the skin of the bug that fell into the snow. After one night, the worm skin was covered in ice and snow.
Open the snow above and Shao Xuan picks up the worm skin. The heaviness of the hand is completely different from the appearance of this wormskin, but it is still bearable for those who frequently carry stones in the tribe.
Transparent wormskin, Shao Xuan can hold it in his hand and clearly see the lines on the palm of his hand. Pull it hard, it's not broken.
It's a good thing.
Shao Xuan rolled up the worm skin, tied it with the leather rope in the leather bag of the animal, and carried it with him.
After searching around the nest, no other worm skin was found, Shao Xuan cleared the surrounding traces and went up the mountain.
After that, Shao Xuan went to find several other white worms, followed in their footsteps, found the nest, found two more worm skins, the rest were not seen, maybe they were not skinned, or maybe they kicked too far, the worm skins were not around, maybe even wrapped in snow rolling down the mountain, in several places, Shao Xuan saw signs of the snowfall. Shao Xuan couldn't help it.
As Shao Xuan searched for a nest to collect wormhides, Shao Xuan found that the white worms' bodies were becoming transparent and otherwise snowy, but gradually became translucent and transparent day by day.
At last, the white worms disappeared collectively. Shao Xuan was in the nest and saw the white worms that had turned into chrysanthemums. There is no cocoon, but the surrounding filament is thicker.
The chrysalis are also transparent, with edges. At first glance, they look like clear ice. If you don't look closely, it's not easy to see that there's another chrysalis like this.
I don't know how long such pupae will last.
Shao Xuan would go down the mountain every few days to take a look. He knew several nests of stoneworms. Detailed locations were recorded in his mind, so it was not difficult to find them. At the rest of the day, Shao Xuan slowly absorbs the energy from the ice on those columns. He found that in this place, when it calmed down, his heart was very calm and perfect for absorption.
The energy on the ice is not ordinary energy. It differs from the magnificent energy that the crystal contains, nor is it pure. However, the energy of the crystal can only have one auxiliary effect on Shao Xuan. There is no real change in the totem in the conscious sea, which is different from the rest of the tribe.
And the ice on the ice column, every time it absorbs, there will be a tiny bit of energy in it, and it will converge into the totem, which is the root reason that Shao Xuan has been running the force of the totem.
The two moons of the night sky gradually circle closer and brighter at night.
On this day, the two months coincide.
Shao Xuan walked out of the cloud mist of the mountaintop ice field and looked at the moon of the night sky.
In the tribe, you can hear the roar of the beasts in the distant mountain forests. But here, the silence is abnormal.
No birds or animals can be heard, such as isolation.
Almost six months have passed since the first hunt of the year, until now, when the months coincide.
Suddenly, Shao Xuan felt like something was happening down the steep slope.
Thinking of the white worms that turned into pupae, Shao Xuan decided to go down the mountain and take a look.
This evening, under the overlapping moon, everything around us is like daylight.
Such a night is an unusual one for beasts and beasts.
Therefore, Shao Xuanshan is also very careful.
When he finally arrived near the white worm nest, Shao Xuan saw a much smaller worm coming out of the nest. It looks like a butterfly with no wings, and two sticky tentacles.
When it climbs out, climb onto that raised rock, like electric white light, from inside it, form a wing shape, and stretch out.
Wings got bigger and bigger until they almost covered up that raised rock.
White fluorescent wings slowly fanned twice, wings stood up and rested for a while, then the worm jumped off the rock, fanned its wings and flew away.
And look further afield, there are some little white lights, which are white bugs from other parts of the mountain.
The white worms that turn into pupae all turn butterflies at the same time this evening.
There are no stars in the night sky, these bright butterflies, like the stars that are active tonight.
There are still cold winds surrounding them with ice and snow, but they do not seem to have any effect on them, and they are still flying steadily and farther away.
Shao Xuan stood there and watched as that light point became smaller and smaller, until it disappeared, before retracting his gaze and putting it in the white worm's nest.
Silk's still here.
If you continue to stay there, nobody will move for a long time, the silk screen will be blocked by the snow and the white worm will turn into pupae, there will be a thick layer of ice and snow on the silk.
Shao Xuan used to pull the silk. These silks were not easy to cut. During this time, Shao Xuan studied the worm skin. He found that the wrinkled worm skin, pulling directly, was not easy to flatten, but if you instill the power of totem, it would be much easier.
Shao Xuan used the same method to take these silks.
Originally, tightly attached to the rock, the silk almost united with the rock, after Shao Xuan infused the force of totem, pulled a little hard, pulled it off the rock.
Unlike the heavy skin of the white worm, these silks are very light, which makes Shao Xuan happier.
In the nest of stone worms, nothing was left, and the broken pupae was not seen. I wonder if it was kicked down early or cracked by itself, or if the white worms ate it themselves?
It doesn't matter if you can't find it. For Shao Xuan, getting these silks is already the biggest gain of the night.
Running several places in a row, copying the white bugs' nests, getting a lot of silk. Of course, these silks, the whiteworms don't care, they don't stay here if they care, there are several nests, the silk meshes have been cut and bit, and the whiteworms let the wind fly.
Shao Xuan's operation lasted two days, when a new giant eagle arrived.
Like when eagles come, they are very tired and look in very poor physical condition, like the twilight elderly.
These giant eagles are coming, letting Shao Xuan know, maybe, that they're coming back soon.
Because the eagles gathered again on the ice, Shao Xuan stopped running around, waiting where he initially stood with them, minimizing his presence.
Shao Xuan chewed the ice and watched a giant eagle passing around.
As he was chewing, Shao Xuan noticed something was wrong. As soon as he looked up, he saw a giant eagle fall down, banging and falling in front of Shao Xuan.
The eagle is not far from Shao Xuan and looks very clearly.
One time, big eyes against small eyes.
