Chapter 141 Qingzhuzhu: I caught it!
“There is no reason recorded in the books I saw.”
Seeing Qingzhuzhu’s mood getting even lower, Zhou Qing opened the curtain of the carriage. At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the distance was far away. The Notting Soul Hunting Forest is not far away, and a little glow appears in the woods on both sides.
That is the tail light of a common firefly.
“So beautiful!”
Looking at the bright green stars with a little yellow halo, Qingzhuzhu let out an inner admiration.
In the family, Qingzhuzhu lacks everything, but this kind of firefly scene in the forest has never been seen before.
“However, I have a guess——”
Zhou Qing smiled slightly.
Common fireflies have a shorter life span, larvae, a few months to a year, and adults, live even shorter, only a few days to a few weeks.
The purpose of their lives is to continue their lives, and there is nothing else.
When fireflies become soul beasts, such as light fireflies, their life forms are different from ordinary fireflies. They will not die after reproducing in the summer, but can continue to survive. They just need to shed their wings and burrow into the ground. Accumulating strength and cultivation for the next reproduction.
“The reason why fireflies flicker at night in summer is probably because they are holding a dance party unique to them.”
But when told to Qingzhu and Zhu, Zhou Qing But he thought about the wording and described it a little more aesthetically. After all, Qingzhuzhu is a six-year-old child in the true sense.
You should listen to fairy tales at this age.
"Dance?" Qingzhu Zhu blinked, curious, "Are they really dancing?"
"Of course, why else light up the lights?"
Zhou Qingxiao Said, "Soul beasts, all living things, actually have emotions just like humans, but compared to the complexity of humans, their joys, anger, sorrows and joys are very straightforward and simple, just like pets such as cats and dogs. What do you think about them?" If they are not good, they will take the initiative to distance themselves from you, but if you are good to them, they will take the initiative to get close to you, in their own way."
"Similarly, for fireflies, light up their body. The lights, in their own festival, hold their own banquets and dances, singing and dancing together, and looking for partners."
Xiao Wu was confused: "Really? Why didn't I know? Can your mouth make sounds?”
"Don't ruin the atmosphere, you're a disgrace to the scenery!" Zhou Qing held his forehead and almost forgot that Xiao Wu was following him.
“But fireflies can’t sing.”
This is not because Xiao Wu deliberately ruined the atmosphere, but because she has lived in the Star Dou Forest for so many years and has never seen a thousand fireflies. The mouths of insect-like soul beasts with a cultivation level of 10 years or above can make normal sounds.
The communication between them relies either on their tentacles or the vibrations of their abdomen and wings. Anyway, unlike most soul beasts, they do not rely on their mouths.
Furthermore, her mother once told her that the origins of insects with bones growing on their bodies may be different from those of soul beasts with bones growing in their bodies...
"You have to learn to imagine!" Zhou Qing realized firsthand how difficult it is for a guy who has transformed into a soul beast that has lived for 100,000 years to become a real human being.
“Oh.”
Xiao Wu nodded blankly, staring at the fireflies outside, trying to see if they were dancing.
Qingzhuzhu smiled, amused by Xiaowu's appearance...
When the carriage arrived at the outskirts of the Notting Soul Hunting Forest, the sky was completely dark. down. Zhou Qing took the three of them to the brightly lit town, found a drug store, bought insect repellent powder and four net bags, and bought a palm-sized glass bottle from a nearby shop before heading to the Soul Hunting Forest.
“Why are you bringing a net bag and a glass bottle?” Xiao Wu waved the net bag in his hand, “Guangying is a spirit beast after all, right? It can’t break through this kind of net bag?”
“Insects Soul beasts are always relatively small, especially fireflies. The fifty-year-old firefly is only five centimeters in length and has no attack power. The net bag can trap it for three minutes, which is enough for us to knock it out. Yes." Zhou Qing said.
"So, ordinary people can also catch this kind of soul beast?" Qingzhu Zhu asked curiously.
“Under normal circumstances, it cannot be caught.”
Zhou Qing shook his head, "The flying speed and reaction ability of Guangying are difficult for ordinary people to keep up with. However, if an ordinary person is lucky enough to catch Guangying in his hand, he can crush it to death. A person under a hundred years old can Light fireflies have two advantages over ordinary fireflies. In addition to the extra light that has a healing effect, it may be that a soul ring appears after death."
"Hiss——"
Xiao Wu trembled, "This What a joke!”
“But this is the fact. The race of light fireflies is fireflies, and insect-like soul beasts cannot rely on toxins to compete head-on with ordinary people before their cultivation reaches a hundred years. , the possibility of both parties being injured is small."
Zhou Qing said the truth, "Fireflies are not beasts like tigers and lions, and none of their innate skills are focused on attack."
"Just like your martial soul, the soft-bone charm rabbit, the soft-bone rabbit, the skills of this kind of soul beast are all focused on escape, defense, and control. Up to the ten thousand year level, relying on the talent of soft bones, they can control the attack type. Only with this skill can it cause greater damage to other lower-level beasts and raptor-like spirit beasts."
Xiao Wu puffed up her face and said, "Humph, I still have the soft skills."
“That is a self-created soul skill, and has nothing to do with the Soft Bone Rabbit itself.”
When Zhou Qing thought about it, putting aside the waist string, Soft Bone Lock and other soul skills, the Soft Bone Rabbit skill It must have been created by Xiao Wu's mother during the transformation period, based on the characteristics of her martial soul: soft bones, and the transformed human form. It is definitely not the soft bone rabbit itself. Belt - The difference between the human body and the animal body is quite big.
After entering the forest.
There was silence all around, except for a few fireflies that glowed green.
The goddess of luck seemed to be looking after them. After groping for nearly 500 meters in the jungle, they encountered a light firefly with a body length of more than five centimeters.
Zhou Qing asked Qingzhu to ascend.
Qingzhuzhu lived up to expectations. He took the net bag and slowly approached the five-centimeter-long light-year-old that was pressing on the three-centimeter-long light-year. Fireflies were covered.
The two light fireflies were frightened, and they immediately flapped their wings, pulled the net bag, raised and flew upwards, but their strength could not compare with Qingzhu Zhu, whose soul power had reached the ninth level.
"I caught it!"
Although the net bag in his hand was swinging around randomly driven by the two fireflies, Qingzhu Zhu showed a cheerful smile, as if he had caught two fireflies. It's a very fulfilling thing.
This is indeed a very happy thing for a real six-year-old child.
【Yelling in the forest will attract the attention of other predators, which is not good, but seeing that Zhu Zhuqing smiles so happily, I won't preach. 】
Zhou Qing felt that one should not be too harsh on a real six-year-old child, especially when the child stayed at home and basically had a miserable face——
< br>
Think of it as igniting a flame called "childlike innocence" for her serious childhood.
