52. Chapter 52 tumbling larvae

    In the afternoon, two things gave Shen Cong a lot of fun in the boring life.

    One is the cockroach of the second-generation mutant locust, which finally hatched the green-headed fly, and the six-female fist-sized green-headed fly screamed in a glass bottle.

    These six green-headed flies have a grade between Lv0.037-Lv0.039, and the active core is no different from the No. 1 variant, which is the sputum in the mouthparts.

    Shen Cong named these two-generation green-headed flies.

    Shen Cong will feed the reserved demon king carrion to one of the second-largest green-headed flies; the other two second-generation, in a bottle, experiment with the second generation born in the same nest, will not Will kill each other. Shen Cong has lost interest in feeding green-headed flies, which will make the smell inside King Kong very unpleasant.

    Keep two, wait for the No. 1 variant and the second-generation green-headed fly to complete the comparison test, all take it as a bait for fishing.

    In the face of the green fly, Shen Cong can declare their ending very resolutely, but in the face of the two ant larvae that have just hatched, Shen Cong does not know what to think.

    Almost as the flies break out, the ants also hatch.

    Two mites, which are slightly smaller than the mineral water bottles, are now crawling in the transparent plastic box, especially when Shen Cong comes over, and the two locusts all climb in the direction of Shen Cong. The activity that comes out of it, Shen Cong can easily feel that they are envious and close to themselves.

    It doesn't feel good, it's not good.

    Although they will become ants when they grow up, many people like to raise ants before the disaster. But at present, they are still the image of locusts, crystal clear body, full of small flagella, slow and swollen, there is a black core inside the body, probably an organ.

    It was a bad connection with the locusts, so Shen Cong’s face at the moment was black.

    “Get away!”

    Shen Cong tried to release his emotions on ant larvae through the connection between activities.

    This is a meaningless vent.

    However, what made Shen Cong unexpected was that the two ant larvae actually squirmed to the side and did not dare to approach Shen Cong.

    In the face of this discovery, Shen Cong immediately changed his attitude and came to interest.

    It is not good to establish a sensory connection with small insects, but if you can direct small insects, it will be more interesting. The level of these two larvae in perception is about Lv0.036, which is very weak.

    Man up.

    Shen Cong once again released his thoughts.

    Two ant larvae crawled over obediently.

    “Go away!”

    Man up.

    "Go over there."

    "Tumble it!"

    The first three commands, perfect execution, and finally the tumbling command, the ant larvae are indifferent. And, feedback is a sense of ignorance, they probably don't understand what it means to "roll it."

    "Turn your body."Shen Cong tried to change his mind, and the ant larva was still stunned.

    This IQ is obviously very low.

    But insects, or the weakest larvae, can't count on how high IQ.

    Did not toss for a while.

    Two ant larvae came together with a feeling of "hungry."

    Ant larvae generally eat foods that are half-digested by workers. They are omnivorous, meaty, and vegetarian. However, for what the mutated ants should eat, Shen Cong really can't figure out what he saw before. metal.

    "First feed the leaves."

    The leaves are thrown in, and the ant larvae don't depend on the past.

    "Add some beef and sashimi."

    For sashimi, ant larvae stay away from it. As for beef, after taking a few mouthfuls, they also discard it.

    "So picky food, do you really want to feed some metal?"Thinking, Shen Cong threw a piece of scrap iron into a plastic box. He doesn't quite believe that ant larvae will eat metal. This fat-toned meat is not like a metal.

    However, the next ant larva proves that even larvae are mutated larvae.

    Hey, hey, hey!

    Two ant larvae happily licked the metal, and the mouthparts scraped on the iron pieces, and many iron filings were smashed down. Shen Cong observed carefully, you can see the mouth of the ant larva, a sharp tooth, can easily scrape a layer of iron filings on the surface of the iron.

    More than three minutes, the iron piece of the palm of the hand was eaten clean by two ant larvae, nothing left.

    "Well, you eat this, I have it."

    Shen Cong directly threw a pile of scrap iron left in the welded hunting clips into a plastic box. The ant larvae did not have drain holes, and the iron scraps that were eaten were all accumulated in the body. As can be seen from the translucent body, a large amount of iron filings accumulate in the black organs and are continuously digested.

    The size of the larvae is also growing at a rapid rate, and soon exceeds the size of the mineral water bottle, and is still greedy for food. The body color has also changed from a transparent creamy white to a pale yellow, and has been deepening the color.

    Shen Cong simply stayed alive and welded a hunting clip to facilitate the observation of ant larvae.

    One afternoon, I have to pass.

    The ant larva grows up to the size of a large bottle of Coca-Cola, and finally begins to stop eating. The whole body is dark brown and swallows a full five pounds of metal.

    Stop eating after eating.

    Two ant larvae begin to approach each other and ponder the body.

    "What is this!"Shen Cong looked at the ant larva curiously, and some strange thoughts drifted through his mind.

    Soon he knew what the ant larva was doing – suede.

    Grinding each other, licking each other's skin and their own skin, this is the transformation of the first instar larva to the second instar larva. In general, many insect larvae experience two times of molting, which is called the first instar larvae before the molting, and the second instar larva after the first molting, and the third instar larva or the old larvae after the second molting.

    Then began to sputum, crusting, and change to adults.

    Shen Cong is curious that he did not see this change during the development of the second generation of greenhead flies. It is normal to eat, drink, and drink, then grow to a certain size and begin to degenerate.

    "Perhaps the second generation is from ordinary flies, breaking through to mutant flies, not fully evolved successfully?"Shen Cong is so speculated that after all, it is a manual intervention that transforms the offspring of ordinary flies into mutant flies.

    Shaking his head, no longer pay attention to this problem that can't find the answer, continue to pay attention to the ant second instar larva.

    The skin of the first-instar larvae is dark brown, but the fresh second-instar larvae are still transparent milky white, and the body shape remains in the size of the large bottle of Coca-Cola. The level of activity has increased from the previous Lv0.036 to the current Lv0.048. Great progress.

    What makes Shen Cong awkward is that the connection between the first-instar larva and him is still vague. By the second instar larva, the connection between this activity was clear. It seems to be the mood of the second-instar larvae, the reason for the richness of the first-instar larvae, or the increase in IQ.

    Shen Cong does not believe that the IQ of second-instar larvae increases.

    So he conveyed his thoughts: "Turn it."

    Next second…
