Chapter 294 Principles
It was indeed very dirty, and it was densely pressed together. Seeing them squirming and biting the liquid under them, it made people feel a sense of disgust in their stomachs. Even the Ogashi who collected them seemed a little uncomfortable...
If you look closely, these bugs have giant-like body patterns on the surface of their bodies, and their chewing organs are very developed. Moreover, these little guys have many legs, but they are just close to the shell armor.
Pixis looked at the opened jar with a question, and said, "What are these bugs?"
"The insects that breed in these containers are called burial insects, or hammer beetles! Their original form is not what we see, but very ordinary insects with extremely strong digestive ability. They reside in the rotten biological cortex or inside the body of the corpse. They are a corpse-appearance phenomenon formed by humans after death. They can even determine the specific time of death through their growth period."
Because this world lacks the understanding of forensic medicine, Ogata carefully explained a series of forensic entomology knowledge as a guide, allowing Pixis and Levi to understand what important surnames this inconspicuous insect will produce.
"The original form of these buried insects relies on absorbing the meat of rotten corpses as nutrients. Therefore, once their quantity forms the density of the container, it will have a terrifying consumption capacity and can quickly bite and swallow a large animal's **. And about two years ago, I discovered that the corpse of the hunted giant was placed in the courtyard of the experimental area for a period of time, and after being placed in the courtyard of the experimental area, it will provoke the reproduction and biting of these buried insects, and speed up its [***] speed..."
Okabaya looked into Pixis' eyes and said word by word.
He pointed to the container under his feet: "So I believe that these burial insects have the innate advantage of consuming giants. The worms are not too picky about the flesh. In their opinion, the corpses of giants are just piled up with rotten ingredients. I have conducted many researches with the help of seven corpses in two years... I found that burial insects like to eat the internal organs in their bodies and the fresh and tender fat in their skin. So I had an idea, what effect would it have if the specially cultivated burial insects were applied to the living giant's body?"
"So I extracted the body fluid secreted from the fat layer of the giant's body and its **-living acid, and after appropriate comparison and conditioning, it was used as the food for the burial insects. The liquids you see now attached to the barriers of the container are the nutrients extracted by the giants. After the burial insects absorb and continuously digest these nutrients, their bodies gradually undergo metamorphosis. The worms are a biological outline that is very suitable for nature, so after continuously absorbing the nutrients of the giants, they will form a change of interest specifically for 'food'."
Pixis was a little sensible, but he gradually understood what Okabata wanted to express in his words, that is, although these insects were easily crushed, they would cause great damage to huge monsters like giants after units of numbers and careful cultivation.
He heard what he meant, but he had not finished speaking. So he waited patiently for what he said. The original disappointment was wiped out, and suddenly he regained the expectation he had for the weapon he invented.
Levi was always covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. He hated dirty things, not to mention the rotten and bugs. He was originally standing with Pixis, but he actually retreated to the door of the room.
It turned out that this man had been studying bugs for two years, no wonder he always had a strange smell on his body... If I had known this, I wouldn't have eaten with him at the same table!
Levi's eyes flashed, and he thought in his mind.
At this moment, Ogata put on a pair of gloves, which were made of silk material, so it would not consume quickly like the last name. He put his palm into the container, and under Levi's disgusting gaze and Pixis' close observation, a living burial worm was taken out by him directly with his hands.
Burying insects are tenacious and struggled!
It has great power. It is very slippery because a layer of body fluid is applied to the carapace as food. With the desperate shaking of several legs, Ogata did not catch this inconspicuous little guy.
"The giant's body fluids have very terrible nutrients. After sucking these burial insects, they have become much larger. More importantly, their vitality is more tenacious, and their ability to chew is several times as good as before when they chewed corpses. I once used a living rabbit to do an experiment. The commander guessed what the result would be?" Okara raised the burial insect and asked slowly under the light that Pixis could see clearly.
Pixis stared at it and did not show resistance like Levi, but instead cared about the every move of the burial insect.
"Eat that rabbit?" he replied casually.
Okabaya shook his head: "I placed a living rabbit in front of these buried insects. They had no interest in actively attacking and eating their bodies. Because they were insects born from corpses, I killed the rabbits and put them back in front of them. I originally thought that these rotten insects would definitely be interested...but the result was exactly the same as the first time!"
"So in the third experiment, I applied the giant's body fluid to the surface of the rabbit's body! And this time, a very terrifying scene occurred. These burial insects swarmed in, as if they were torn apart by the power of a meat grinder. The rabbit's corpse was quickly chewed wildly by them and turned into a dry bone with no flesh left."
Pixis' face showed a coagulation, and a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes: "You mean, these burial insects will set a specific food standard. And this standard is the giant body fluid you use to raise them?"
"That's right." Okabaya smiled lightly: "In addition to the mutation of their bodies, these buried insects have completely looked down on ordinary nutrients. The reason is the same as humans have obtained swords made of gold and despised with broken iron swords and sticks. Their physiological functions, or the hard improvement of the food chain, have been completely adapted to giants as the first choice for food... I even conducted an experiment. If they do not provide them with giant body fluids as food supply, these little guys will not argue that ordinary meat will starve to death."
Giant, burying insects!
Pixis felt more and more that these two things were incredible!
"That is to say, once these burial insects enter the giant's body, they will take crazy food as soon as possible, swallowing up the internal organs and fat layers that generate these body fluids, and consume a giant's physiological support from the inside of the body at the fastest speed. So no matter how strong its surface defense and recovery ability are, as long as everything about it is broken down from the body, it will kill the giant with the greatest damage!"
A light burst out from Okaba’s eyes, and his tone became hot.
"What is the success rate?" Pixis looked at Okata excitedly and asked in a deep voice.
Okao put down the burial worm in his hand, and saw that it seemed relieved. He used a few fast moving limbs to crawl in one direction...
Pixis looked at the insect in shock, and actually made a lot of effort. He arrived at the container that he had taken out without pause, and then drilled into the opening with great pleasure and soaked in the dirty liquid.
Then he realized that from the moment the opening of the container was opened, these dense and numerous burial insects had never left without obediently like other worms.
"I think it's 100%!"
Okabata replied lightly.
"When fighting with the giant, as long as you use an ant hammer to launch shells that wrap around these 'burial insects', it can penetrate directly into its body. The one who really plays a key role is these little guys who quickly swallow and hollow out its internal organs and fat." (To be continued.)
