Chapter 111 Insect Catching Operation
In the early morning of the next morning, Lu Dahu and his party, who had sorted themselves out, drove an off-road vehicle to the door of the Insect Control House.
"Do you need to check again? This trip will take at least ten days. Don't leave anything behind."
Lu Dahu reminded him specifically because he was afraid that Russell would go out too little and find something missing only when he got to the wild.
"I just brought some clothes and food, as well as the daily cultivation materials for the two pet beasts... Do I need to prepare anything else?"
Russell asked uncertainly after clicking on the items in his backpack.
For the first few times he went out, the food, clothing, housing and transportation were all provided by the alliance officials. He really didn't know what to prepare for wild exploration.
Russell had also checked online for articles such as "Essential Things for Wilderness Exploration" and the like. It turned out that they were all advertisements and there was not much valuable reference information at all.
I remember one article even said that you must bring a simulated rubber inflatable doll with you when going to the wild, because you will inevitably feel lonely when you are alone... Russell could only shout that it was outrageous.
"Just take care of yourself. We agreed to take you on this trip to improve your experience in wild exploration. You don't need to worry about the entrustment." Hearing this, Lu Dahu pointed to the off-road vehicle outside the door and said that Russell didn't need to think about it
. The team’s material needs.
The trunk of this large off-road vehicle was filled with items needed for this hunt, enough for the team to use in the wild for more than half a month.
"Brother, please take care of brother Russell. He doesn't usually fight much and doesn't have much experience in surviving in the wild!" Before
leaving, Lu Yinning pulled Lu Dahu with a worried look on his face and repeatedly told him to take good care of Russell.
Thinking of the last time Russell went to the wild and was attacked by an eighth-level ferocious beast, Lu Yinning felt a hundred and twenty uneasy.
"...Your brother can't beat him, why don't you care about me?"
Regarding this, Lu Dahu felt helpless and unhappy, and even a little sad.
His sister had always been very attached to him since she was a child. How come she had only been working at the Chongwu House for half a year, and her elbows were so bent that they reached the horizon... The next moment,
Lu Yinning gave him another critical blow.
"You are thick-skinned. Brother Russell is a beast master of the breeding department, a civilian!"
A
few hours later, the off-road vehicle was driving through the forest. An excited Russell was sitting in the passenger seat and looking around. Lu Dahu looked depressed, sighing slightly from time to time.
Because they set off early, when everyone arrived at the outskirts of the Black Dew Forest, the sun had just crossed the sky.
When exploring the secret realm of "Dreamweaver's Lair" before, the Senluo City Beast Control Alliance drove the car directly to the middle of the forest, but Lu Dahu and others did not dare to do this.
The vehicle made too much noise and was too conspicuous in the dense forest, and this civilian off-road vehicle was no better than the armored vehicles of the Alliance Legion and could not withstand the attack of pet beasts.
Therefore, when performing hunting missions, the hunting team usually chooses to drive to the outskirts of the forest, choose a slightly open and safe place to stop, and then use it as the center of the circle to explore the surrounding area on foot.
After choosing a station location and assembling the tent and some logistical equipment, it was already around two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Let's go and check out the situation nearby."
After finishing the preparations, Lu Dahu waved his hand and led the team to the nearby dense forest.
Generally speaking, the lower the level of the pet beast, the stronger its reproductive ability, and the bloodline of the first-level black iron-level pet beast is only a little higher than that of ordinary beasts, so sunworms are not that important in this forest. Rare creature.
In addition, today is a sunny day, and the sunworms crawled out of their hiding places one after another. While bathing in the afternoon sun, they stimulated the light accumulated in their bodies to attract mates.
Only a hundred meters into the Black Dew Forest, Lu Dahu discovered a shining sunworm on the trunk of a big tree.
The carapace of this black iron-level insect beast is gray-white, and a warm yellow light flashes from time to time inside its body. It looks like a small light bulb from a distance.
Relying on his super affinity with insects, Russell crept over and grabbed the sunworm that was busy courting like a grasshopper when he was a child.
"I don't even know how to run away. It seems that this sunworm is easy to catch." After catching the first sunworm so easily, Russell proudly waved his trophy to Lu Dahu.
"Don't touch... Hey, why didn't it resist when you caught it?"
Seeing this scene, Lu Dahu was frightened to death and immediately rushed forward to stop Russell.
Sunworms move slowly and do not run away when they see predators. They rely on their own self-destruction skills.
This special skill at the cost of life can easily exert its power across levels. Even if the releaser is only a first-level black iron-level pet, the self-destruction damage is almost as much as a full blow from a second- or third-level gold-level pet. level.
If it explodes in your hand, even if it is not disabled, it will take a while to recover from the injury.
However, the sunworm that Russell caught showed no signs of impending self-destruction, which made Lu Dahu and several team members very puzzled.
"You won't be the first one to catch a defective product that lacks light energy in its body, right?"
Worried that there was something wrong with the quality of this sunworm, Lu Dahu took it from Russell's hand.
The lifespan of first-order black iron-level insect beasts is very short, and some do not even survive the winter. That is why the Beast Taming Alliance issues a commission every year for everyone to catch them now instead of domesticating the sunworms.
If the energy of a sunworm is not up to standard, as the summer ends, the energy in its body will only become less and less, thus losing the value of being captured.
However, as soon as Lu Dahu took the sun bug, a dazzling white light lit up in his palm.
This is a sign that the sunworm is about to explode!
Fortunately, Lu Dahu had quick eyes and quick hands, and he immediately grabbed the sunworm in his hand and threw it out.
boom--!
The next moment, the sunworm completed its self-destruction with a loud bang in mid-air.
"...What is going on?"
Looking at the white light spots slowly falling from the explosion site, Lu Dahu felt a little confused.
My sister only cares about Russell. How come in the wild, a black iron-level pet beast with little intelligence also starts to play tricks on others?
"It's better to catch them with bottles, it's safer."
Seeing this, the bespectacled young man named Fan Ming took out several empty glass bottles from the package and poured a little rose-colored liquid into each one. It was handed to Lu Dahu and Russell.
These rose-colored liquids are viscous in texture, and when you hold them in your hands, you can smell a sweet smell wafting out of the unsealed bottle mouth.
"Is this bottle filled with honeydew?"
Many pet beasts like honey cultivation materials. Russell got close to the bottle and smelled it for a few times, and then he recognized the origin of the liquid in the bottle.
Honeydew is a relatively common trapping material that can be extracted from the flowers of most plants.
The nectar is already sweet, and Fan Ming also specially added a little warm orange juice to it. This kind of honeydew is undoubtedly very attractive to light insect pets.
"Yes, cover the sunworm directly with the mouth of the bottle. Don't be too rough. They will crawl into the bottle on their own."
As he spoke, Fan Ming found another sunworm on a tree trunk not far ahead. He picked it up. Glass bottle, show Russell the correct way to catch sunworms.
He slowly walked to the tree trunk and gently placed the bottle containing honeydew where the sunworm was lying.
Smelling the sweet fragrance, the light on the abdomen flashed. It was obvious that the sunworm had gathered a lot of light energy and quickly crawled to the bottom of the bottle, happily sucking up the sweet honeydew.
"A bottle of this size can hold about ten sunworms. I have brought a lot of honeydew here. Be careful not to let all the honeydew in the bottle be sucked up, otherwise the sunworms may start to consume their own stored water due to hunger. Light energy, the sunworm alliance will not acquire any sunworms that fail to meet the energy test standards." After
successfully capturing this sunworm, Fan Ming gently sealed the bottle mouth while continuing to introduce to Russell the precautions for hunting sunworms. matter.
