Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 683 685. Honey insect, dew grass, ecological chain

The process of hunting large monsters is very long, especially under the hunter guild system.

Even the ferocious jackal that was selected this time as a "trainer for the recommendation team and recruited hunters" was only released after an evaluation by ecologists within the investigation team, who determined that its strong appetite in recent times had slightly affected the ecology of the area. crusade mission.

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.

They will spend several days or even weeks tracking their prey in the hunting ground, figuring out the prey's movement patterns, and stabilizing their own 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!"

Wen De patted the small cage on his waist. The fireflies inside seemed to feel the impact, and the light 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 let out a calm sigh.

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?

Moreover, 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.

It's a pity that 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 towards Lan En: "Forget it about large monsters. After all, they are easy to find. But mini creatures like guide insects are very difficult to deal with. It is best for you not to 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, they would not relax at all if they were not allowed to confirm it in person. This kind of incident that might cause a biological invasion would not happen 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 inside.

Just as it happened, the Winged Dragon armed with Wende also flew over at this time.

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 light brightness of the guide insects in the small cage increased slightly, and then flew out in one direction like a glowing cloud.

The three people and one cat who had put away the sundries adjusted their equipment, and then followed.

The green fluorescence of guide insects is 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 this 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, two people were assigned, one hunter responsible for combat, and one investigator responsible for recording and analyzing ecology.

According to April, this is not the case in the Old World, because it is already an area with high 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 after the hunter's work is done, a more powerful monster comes smelling of it and comes looking for it? What should I do if the clues and traces are destroyed?

What if a hunter with a low level of knowledge discovers something he has never seen before and doesn’t know how to deal with it, and then the chance of discovery disappears before his eyes?

Therefore, an investigator who follows the hunter and takes real-time records is necessary.

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!"

April exclaimed 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 that's 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!"

"When the nectar is collected by the recovery honey bees, 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 the recovery medicine Nectar with a similar effect will explode into mist, healing surrounding creatures."

The recovery honey bugs that can fly around with nectar are therefore bound to the 'healing ability', so even the most ferocious monsters in this forest usually do not have any hostility towards these recovery 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.

"Yahoo!"

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.

He waved his hands wildly to drive away the replying honey bugs, then squatted down and shook the replying dew grass downwards.

Wen De poured the nectar of a reply dew plant into his throat in just 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 throat pain for even a minute!"

His speaking voice was still very 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 'finally relieved' look on his face didn't last for a few minutes.

Because he saw that the focus of April and Lan En's eyes was not on him.

As for the guide insects that had been surrounding him, their original green fluorescence suddenly turned red amidst the sound of flapping wings!

Without thinking much, Wende 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 it with its 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.

He pushed back the yellow-green figure's claws directly!
