Hunting College

　　 The sun hides behind the thick clouds, without shed any golden sunlight.

　　 The weather is a bit cold.

　　 Through the tall French windows in the study, a small piece of blank sky can be seen.

　　 The color of the sky is almost the same as the silver-gray curtains rolled up on both sides of the French windows.

　　 all give people a solemn feeling.

　　 A small cold wind came from nowhere, blowing lightly on the back of Zheng Qing's neck.

　　 This made Zheng Qing shudder while observing the beautiful skull.

　　 He thinks this is not a psychological factor.

　　 Because he didn't feel too scared, he was just a little uncomfortable.

　　 Then, Zheng Qing shrank her neck and looked around.

　　 Sure enough, he saw the culprit behind him.

　　 The wooden door of the study seems to be in disrepair due to age, so it is not closed tightly.

　　 The cold wind outside the room came out from the crack in the door, teasing the young wizard in the room with uneasy thoughts.

　　 "Excuse me, for laymen, I mean people who are not related professionals. These little cuties are somewhat taboo." Dr. Dozem rubbed his palms nervously, and looked at Zheng Qing inquiringly.

　　 He seemed to think that the skull or the group of small bugs caused Zheng Qing's uneasy performance.

　　 Zheng Qing grinned reluctantly, saying that it didn't matter.

　　 "Are they imported from outside the island?" Jiang Yu walked to the two of them, looked at the bugs in the cabinet, and asked with interest, "Which country did they import from?"

　　 "No, this is a specialty from the depths of the Silent Forest." The doctor shook his head: "Compared to the Qinling Corpse Borer and the Pyramid Scarab, these corpse beetles in the Silent Forest are more adaptable."

　　 "What's the difference?" Jiang Yu seems to be very interested in these little bugs: "I mean, what is the difference between corpse worms from different places of origin?"

"The corpse beetle in the depths of the silent forest is compared with its counterparts in the outside world, because it lives in a closed environment all the year round and has a slower evolution rate, maintaining some of the characteristics of the original corpse beetle." Obviously, Dr. Duzem is very happy to be Behaved in front of his big benefactor.

　　 He drew a long-handled tweezers from the toolbox next to the desk, went into the fish tank, and picked out a corpse beetle.

　　 After the bug was really exposed to the dim light, Zheng Qing was surprised to find that it was not really white.

　　 To be precise, the outer skin of the corpse beetle is black and gray, but it has a small white fluff on the outer skin.

　　 Although it is called a beetle, the black-gray leather shell is severely deformed by the tweezers.

　　 Zheng Qing is very worried that the doctor's hand is slightly stronger, this bug will burst a ball of meat sauce.

　　Dr. Dozem lightened the clip slightly to the light-transmitting side of the window, and the trapped bug squirmed frantically, and made a piercing sound.

"As you can see, these corpse beetles in the depths of the Silent Forest retain the characteristics of their ancestors who are photophobic." The doctor moved the clip back to the dark again, and the poor bug finally gave a second cry and fell into a slumping voice. Gave up struggling.

　　 "Because they live in darkness, their cortex lacks calcium synthesized by sunlight, so the cortex is soft."

　　 "Eating rot all the year round and not seeing the sky, making these cortex moldy and growing hairs, and excessive phosphorus in their bodies will volatilize through these hairs."

　　 "You see it appears white in dark places, that is, the volatile phosphorescence."

　　 Zheng Qing looked at the delicate little bug on the clip and sighed.

　　 "Where is the corpse beetle outside the island?" Jiang Yu asked persistently.

"The bugs outside the island are much more complicated." Dr. Duzem carefully put the beetle back into the fish tank, then wiped the clip with a flannel dipped in kerosene, and exhorted: "The corpse beetle in the silent forest. Naturally it carries a very poisonous thing, which is the favorite thing of the fallen liches. If it is accidentally contaminated, it can be disinfected to a certain extent by rubbing it with kerosene. Of course, the best way is to bathe the poison in the sun."

　　 The two young wizards nodded again and again.

"As for the bugs outside the island." The doctor squinted his eyes, pondered for a moment, and concluded: "Actually, I have mentioned just now, there are two main ones left. One is the corpse of the Chinese Qinling and the other is the Egyptian pyramid. Scarab. There used to be a feather beetle in the rainforests of South America, but it has been a long time since no wild population has been found, which is equivalent to extinction."

　　"Qinling corpse moth likes dampness and darkness. It is an enhanced version of primitive corpse-eating insects. It is generally raised in zombies by wizards. The larvae feed on the internal organs of the corpse. The adult reproductive ability is extremely strong, and it is difficult to eradicate.

　　 "The Pyramid Scarab is the opposite. It loves the sun and is very dry. This is completely different from other corpse beetles of the same species and can be called a variant."

　　 "According to the generally accepted view, the ancient corpse beetles and the old Egyptian priests were buried in the obscure pyramids, slowly changed their habits, and gradually derived modern scarabs."

　　 "Scarabs usually lay their eggs in blood vessels, and then the larvae swim along the blood vessels, and finally enter the heart. When they break out, they are considered as real adults."

　　 "The Pyramid Scarab also has a stunt that derives over a long period of time. They can dehydrate."

　　 "Dehydrated?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

　　 "I happen to have the dehydrated worm of the scarab here." Dr. Dozem snapped his fingers, and quickly got to the desk, and turned out a small transparent glass bottle in the cabinet.

　　 Zheng Qing noticed a stack of things like paper towels in the bottle.

Dr. 　　 hit

Open the mouth of the bottle, use tweezers to take out a paper towel, throw it in a sea bowl, then quickly seal the small glass bottle, and refill it into the depth of the desk cabinet.

　　In just a few seconds, the thin tissue that was thrown into the sea bowl has slowly started to change color and yellow.

"This is what the scarab looks like after dehydration." Dr. Duzem poked the paper towel with a glass rod and explained to the two guests: "If no one stops them, in an hour, the adult will be Extract enough moisture from the air to restore his original form and become a terrible killer again."

"Of course, if we add a little help to them, we can shorten the recovery time." As he said, the doctor picked up the ink on the desk and poured it into the bowl: "Any liquid, I mean anything including but not limited to venom, Grease, boiling water, etc. ~www.ltnovel.com~ liquids in any state can help these dehydrated people recover."

　　 Zheng Qing held his breath.

　　 The ink in the bowl disappears at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　　The paper towel that has soaked up enough water bulges like a balloon.

　　 head, horns, whiskers, eyes, mouth, feet, the tiny parts of the bug's body re-spread out like inflated, gradually forming a hideous-looking, palm-sized bug.

"The normal color of scarabs is golden yellow, as dazzling as the sun. But if they absorb liquid with impurities when they recover from dehydration, it may have a certain effect on their body color." The doctor tapped the bowl with the glass rod. Of bugs.

　　 The Scarab, who had just returned to normal, shook the antennae in front of its forehead impatiently, and tried to bulge its sheath.

　　 Zheng Qing nodded.

　　 Indeed, the insects that are slowly moving their arthropods in the bowl now look yellow and black, and there are faint spots on their backs.

　　 While he was expecting the bug to perform further, Dr. Dozem threw a little spark into the bowl.

　　 It is like dry wood meets a raging fire, or it is like sparks falling into explosives.

　　 The scarab that had just returned to life turned into a fireball in the blink of an eye. Accompanied by the harsh scream, it quickly turned into a mass of ashes.

　　 There was a pungent smell in the air, like burnt plastic.
