章 281: Chapter 280
Monte II curiously looked at the beetles in the water …
Their bodies were around five centimetres long, and their armour was as clear as crystal. Within their carapace, there were star-like fluorescent lights. They swam around in the water, gathering together some of the glowing threads in the water.
Monte II was most concerned about whether or not they could be eaten.
In the past, he had other types of soldiers to 'test' for him. His army was like a storm that swept through everything. Now, however, he had become more timid. If he died, the entire Aztec race would go extinct. They had no other race.
As Monte II was hesitating, the glowing beetles in the water noticed him. The beetles jumped in fright and instantly swam deeper into the water.
After watching for a while, Monte II decided to leave.
He attempted to find other food within this forest of glowing mushrooms. Perhaps, there might be some normal food.
In the forest, it flew slowly. Everything here seemed so novel. The deeper it went, the more living creatures there were. In front of Monte II, there was a large group of floating creatures that looked like fish but could swim in the air. On the ground covered by glowing fur, there was a group of small creatures gathered. They looked like small larvae, but they moved very quickly.
These life forms all had the same characteristics. Their bodies had star-like specks of light. These specks of light were arranged in a very orderly manner on their bodies. Although the positions of each life form's specks of light were different, they all emitted the same blue radiance.
It was very wondrous.
Monte II's mind had recorded the information of all his ancestors. However, none of them had seen this type of life form and forest before.
"Bang!"
Suddenly. Monte II heard a strange sound. It was in the forest before him. However, he did not want to go there.
Curiosity was necessary. However, fear was also important. Monte II struggled to make a choice between the two. After one second, he finally decided … … to go and take a look!
He increased the speed of his wings and flew past a group of glowing jellyfish. He flew past several large mushrooms and chased after the sound. He arrived at a peculiar place.
This was an open space in the forest, and all the fluff on the ground was facing one direction — the center of this open space was a spherical object.
The sphere was white and had a diameter of about five meters. It was quite huge. All the threads were connected to the white sphere, and the sphere was still expanding. When it expanded to a certain size, it exploded with a bang, and many white pompoms with a diameter of about one meter flew out. These pompoms flew high into the sky with the impact of the explosion. Then, it drifted away with the wind.
So the pompoms that he saw earlier came from here? They seemed to be related to this forest.
Although the pompom felt very dangerous, the jungle here didn't feel dangerous at all.
Monte II found this very strange. Next, it found many similar huge spherical structures in the nearby forest. They kept expanding, exploding, and releasing many pompoms. These pompoms floated out of the island with the sea breeze and flew to other places.
Monte II didn't care about where they floated to. It didn't go too deep into the island. Instead, it returned to the beach. It had already decided to start growing its population here.
Monte II used its limbs to dig on the beach. After digging a hole big enough for it to stuff itself in, it laid three eggs and buried them in the sand.
Next, Monte II searched for food near the beach. It only trusted food that it had seen before. It dug out many shellfish hiding in the sand along the beach, as well as some snails and arthropods. The food here looked very plentiful.
Monte II used its forelimbs to break these things and then ate them. Besides digesting some of them, it kept some of them in its body.
In this way, Monte II lived here. During the day, it dug underground to enlarge the cave under the beach. At night, it came out to look for marine food. Besides digging for shellfish on the beach, it also went into the water to catch some fish in shallow water.
It didn't eat that much food. If it ate too much food, it would mix it with a special antibacterial liquid and make it into a ball and put it in the cave. At the same time, it laid more eggs.
Although it was a brain, it could also live independently.
Of course, it didn't like living independently, so it was looking forward to the moment when its population recovered.
After a few days, the earliest eggs that Monte II laid began to hatch. At first, they weren't adults. Instead, they were white larvae that looked like worms. These larvae had sharp jaws, but they were very slow and couldn't be used in battle. However, they could be used to secrete a kind of mucus to strengthen the structure of the cave.
At the same time, they could also be used to dig deep holes. At this time, the larvae needed to eat the food that Monte II prepared for them.
After a few days, more eggs hatched. Monte II needed to catch more food. Although it was a bit difficult, it had calculated the number of larvae that it could handle. Therefore, it didn't lay too many eggs. Slowly, some of the larvae that grew larger began to wrap themselves in a kind of silk thread. They began to transform into the shape of an adult worm.
This process only took two days. The adult worms would dig out the silk thread that wrapped themselves and come out.
Although they were all small species, Monte the Second finally had his own army!
It had the first three adult worms continuously dig for shellfish during the night to obtain more food. Recently, Monte II had discovered a large number of small marine worms in an area of the beach. After obtaining a large amount of food, Monte II's population began to grow rapidly. It created even more eggs. At the same time, it also laid some larvae and flying-type eggs. When the time was ripe, Monte II planned to create a Deep Sand Bus. That way, it would be invincible on this island.
Invincible?
Monte II still didn't know the situation on this island, so it couldn't make a decision.
When there were more than ten adult worms in its army, Monte II let a few adult worms enter the forest and let them try to eat some mushrooms.
After eating the mushrooms, the adult worms didn't seem to have any problems. They were able to easily digest the mushrooms.
After that, Monte II began to let its army eat mushrooms. It also prepared to move its nest from the beach to the forest.
However, when it brought its army, eggs, and larvae into the forest, it discovered that it was surrounded by a large group of creatures.
