Chapter 683 685. Honeyweed Ecological Chain
The process of hunting large monsters is very long, especially under the system of the Hunter Guild.
Even the ferocious jackal that was selected this time to be trained by the recommendation team and recruited hunters was evaluated by ecologists within the investigation team and determined that its strong appetite in recent times has slightly affected its location. The crusade mission was only issued based on the regional ecology.
Hunting is not unprovoked killing, but a struggle for the balance of nature and life.
This is one of the purposes of the Hunter Guild.
In other words, what Lan En and Wind are hunting this time is a specific ferocious jackal dragon, and they cannot just encounter one and behead it.
According to Wende, the hunting procedures of hunters in this world are similar to the hunters in Lan En's impression, but the intensity is very high.
It will take several days or even weeks to track the prey in the hunting ground, find out the prey's movement patterns, and stabilize one's combat status. The final combat stage does not take much time.
“But now, if we have guide insects, I think we can complete the task within a day!”
Wend patted the small cage on his waist, and it looked like fireflies inside. The flying insects seemed to feel the impact, and the light they emitted dimmed slightly, and then returned to normal.
These firefly-like bugs were one of the great discoveries of the New World Survey and even caused a stir in the Old World.
These flying insects have a very strong ability to collect and remember pheromones.
As long as the target monster's scales, body hair, body fluids, and even the soil left footprints after stepping on it are placed in a small cage, these flying insects will glow and track the target.
“Ah, it feels so convenient.”
Lan En looked at the small cage and sighed calmly.
The sensory sensitivity of this thing is stronger than that of a demon hunter. Should it be said that it is indeed a magical nature?
Besides, the Witcher's senses are still a little dizzy when turned on, so it would be great to just let the guide insect do it for him.
Unfortunately, Lan En can’t use it.
"In order to prevent biological invasion in other worlds, the commander-in-chief has given instructions."
Ai Bo spread his hands to Lan En: "Forget about large monsters, after all, they are easy to find. But Mini creatures like guide insects are very difficult to deal with, so it’s best that you don’t even come into contact with them.”
What can Lan En say? People are also concerned.
Although he himself knew that there was a goddess on the other side of the rift where the celestial spheres met and could purify the unclean, but with the rigor of the investigation team, if they were not allowed to confirm it in person, such an incident that might cause a biological invasion would not be possible for them. But it won't relax at all.
After chatting, Wende and April put the outdoor supplies they had brought into the tent in the camp, and Garfield also put a small bundle in it.
Just then, the Pterosaur armed with Wende's weapons also flew over.
After Wind put the shield ax on his back again, he looked at Lan En and nodded, then put a piece of yellow scale fragment into the insect guide cage on his waist.
This is the mission clue provided by the investigation team when the mission is accepted.
A fragment of scale from the target.
The brightness of the guide insects in the small cage increased slightly, and then they flew out in one direction like a glowing cloud.
The three people and one cat who had put away the debris each adjusted their equipment and then followed.
The green fluorescence of the guide insects is very conspicuous even in broad daylight.
After coming out of the camp, the thriving vitality of the entire ancient tree forest appeared in front of everyone again.
Even though he has overlooked it once and walked through it for a while, Lan En will still be shocked by the surging and prosperous vitality.
Three people and one cat followed the guide insect. During this time, Ai Bo was particularly excited.
In the personnel allocation of the fifth phase of the regiment, a team of two people will be used, one hunter responsible for combat, and one investigator responsible for recording and analyzing the ecology.
According to Aibo, this is not the case in the Old World, because it is already an area with a high degree of human development.
Hunters only need to act alone to complete the task, and the remaining hunter guilds can complete the task with the help of the grassroots institutions they have laid. But in the New World, everything here must take into account the unexpected.
What if a more powerful monster smells like it and comes looking for it after the hunter has finished his work? What should I do if the clues and traces are destroyed?
What should I do if a hunter with low knowledge discovers an unprecedented situation and doesn’t know how to deal with it, and then the chance of discovery disappears before my eyes?
So it is necessary for an investigator to follow the hunter and record in real time.
Aibo can be paired with Wind. Apart from her professional level, her ability to survive in the wild, which is much higher than other scholars, is also a plus.
“Look!”
Ai Bo whispered excitedly, raised his hand and pressed back, asking Lan En and Wende to walk slower.
The two of them were not nervous because of Ai Bo's tone.
They moved closer to April.
In front is a flying insect about the size of two palms, which looks like an enlarged version of a bee.
Now it is stretching its six slender legs into the bud of a flower.
“It’s the honey-replying bug collecting the nectar from the resuscitating dew plant! Did you see it? The six legs of the resuscitating honey-worm are so thin and long, they are simply prepared for the flower shape of the resuscitating dew plant!”
< br>"When the nectar is collected by the honey beetles, the cilia on their legs will change the liquid surface tension of the nectar, causing the nectar to hang on their legs like a huge green water droplet. Upon impact, these and Nectar with a similar effect to the healing potion will explode into mist, healing surrounding creatures."
The healing honey bug that can fly around with nectar is therefore bound to the 'healing ability', so even this. The most ferocious monsters in the forest usually have no hostility toward these rejuvenating honey bugs.
The reverting honey bugs have gained a relatively peaceful living environment in the forest, and the creatures in the forest also have the means to heal themselves. Even the reverting dew grass has the opportunity to spread pollen to places that are usually inaccessible.
This is a win-win and mutually influencing biological chain.
The deep flower chambers of the dew plant and the long and thin legs of the honey beetle may be the result of mutual selection and evolution.
The vast and prosperous biological chain of the New World, in a flower and an insect, revealed the tip of the iceberg to the humans who came to observe.
“Yah!”
However, Wende didn't have the same emotion as April and Lan En. He cheered in a very girly voice, and then rushed directly to the reply grass.
I waved my hands randomly to drive away the reply honey bug, then squatted down and shook the reply honey grass downward.
Wen De poured the nectar of a rejuvenating dew plant into his throat in two mouthfuls.
"In the beginning, resources were tight, and I didn't even dare to drink recovery medicine. Now there are pure natural ones! I can't stand this voice for a minute!"
His voice was just right when he spoke. It was still girly at first, but as the healing effects of the nectar began to take hold, Wind's voice was returning to normal.
By the last few words, it was already a standard male voice.
But the expression of 'final relief' on his face did not last for a few minutes.
Because he saw that the focus of April and Lan's eyes was not on him.
At this time, the green fluorescence of the guide insects that had been surrounding him suddenly turned red amidst the sound of flapping wings!
Without much thought, Wen De grasped the hilt protruding from the upper edge of the shield ax without looking back.
"Scandium!"
The shield ax made a very recognizable sound.
At the same time, a huge yellow-green figure crawling on all fours not only failed to kill the 'little thing' in front of him with his claws. On the contrary.
A circle of air waves with different refractive index due to different gas densities burst out from the surface of Wende's shield axe.
Hit the yellow-green figure’s claws directly back!
