The battle between the black foot commander and the strange dog became a rare entertainment in the settlement. In order to make the orcs accept the existence of z-worms, Zhao Mai described them as "dark creatures hidden in the mountains and woods, the creation of the Dark Lord." It's true that milkov is the first generation of the Dark Lord, Sauron is the second generation, and Zhao Mai is a connecting generation and a half.
The orcs built fences and seats on the east side of the three turrets, and initially felt like a martial arts arena. Zhao Mai would come here every day to fight, sometimes with Z worms, sometimes with orcs. The orcs can't learn the complicated martial arts system - Zhao Mai doesn't know much about it, either - but Zhao Mai's beast playing method from "Wolverine" Logan is very popular. It's easy for the orcs to understand the movements and routines in it, and they can even bring forth new ones according to their own physical qualities.
Since most of the strong orcs have left, most of Zhao Mai's settlements are old and weak who have little chance to go to the battlefield, and there are a large number of female orcs who stay in the rear to give birth. Zhao Mai suddenly realized that he was managing a group of the best teachers and instructors? As young orcs grow up, they will keep leaving, fighting and dying, but they happen to have the most stable class in Orc society.
So he ordered the orcs to learn fighting skills and teach them to their children in the future. As a result, the arena is full of people every day and has to be continuously expanded. The new building expanded simultaneously with the seats is the gambling room. Due to the lack of ORC warriors, the project here is single. For the time being, there are only "commander and monster" series projects.
After fighting and improving again and again, z-bug's basic arms "jump dog" has finally been basically shaped. Finally, the size of the jumping dog is determined to be similar to that of the wolf, with a lower body and strong limbs dedicated to running and jumping, making their movement speed comparable to that of the cheetah.
There are no complex claws, but the strong forelegs that can move at high speed are covered with a shell with serrated protuberances. Coupled with sharp teeth, jumping dog's tearing and cutting ability is quite good. On its back, there is a pair of bone wings folded up at ordinary times. After unfolding, there is a thin layer of meat membrane, which is very similar to the wings of bats. It can glide for a short distance and increase the jumping distance. The top of the bone wing is a sharp bone spur, nearly one meter long, with strong puncture ability. The attack method of jumping dog is to lower the body, bite with the mouth, stab with the bone on the top, and trample and cut with the forelimb after the enemy falls to the ground.
Learning from the previous experience, jumping dogs have bone chips and spines on their backs to deal with those who try to cross and attack from them. Short, quick and efficient attack makes it a tough enemy. Zhao Mai can deal with them with faster and heavier fists, but the orcs are generally at a disadvantage in the battle with jumping dogs.
If we continue to optimize the structure, Zhao Mai can also make it produce a variety of changes, such as the ability to use the suction cup to climb, the ability to dig underground, and even the ability to fly short distances. However, there is no doubt that jumping dog is the first identified basic creature among all Z insects, which is due to the hard work of grain reserves.
And a strong desire to follow a large group of younger brothers. Grain reserves run in front, and a few jumping dogs follow closely, trampling a large amount of smoke outside the camp together. This has become a new landscape of the black foot settlement, and even gradually developed a gambling industry about dog racing. The orcs didn't know that all the jumping dogs obeyed the orders of the grain reserve and Zhao Mai. They named the jumping dogs according to their preference, and then used them to distinguish the winners and losers.
"No more than six." This is Zhao Mai's only requirement for grain reserves. He refers to the number of jumping dogs on the ground and the number of them in underground caves, which all depends on the supply capacity of the fungus blanket.
Good news followed. No matter what Xiaohua did, she said that she had finished the teaching work and did not need to keep the spiritual connection.
Zhao Mai is skeptical, while Xiaohua looks confident, even her eyes are shining. "Zhao Mai, don't you believe me? The needs of plants are much simpler than that of animals, and I'm not a person's wisdom, and I'm more focused on my work than a dog. I don't have time to make an entourage, so I can do it faster. "
The store food rolled all over the ground, barked twice, and called a jumping dog in front of him. It seriously patted the ferocious dog and showed Zhao Mai his credit. The little eyes were very clear: "I have finished such a great job, what have you done?"
Xiaohua blinked and said, "I killed a dog and made a steak. It's on the top of the chimera. You can try it."
Since she said so, Zhao Mai took them to the base cave.
Z-bug has changed, especially the germ blanket. Originally, the bacteria blanket was just a kind of overpowering food that was constantly growing and trying to cover the surface of all objects, but now it has become very flat. The surface is covered with a layer of transparent hard shell, which can not only protect the sponge structure below, but also facilitate walking. Although it's a cave, it obviously also takes into account how the sun is used.
Every ten meters, there is a protruding contact on the mushroom blanket. At ordinary times, it is as high as the surrounding transparent shell, which does not hinder the passage. It elongates like a snail's antennae when needed. "This thing is like a siphon, like a siphon in the bark, which can transport nutrients to support the z-bug building. Of course, it can also be sucked directly with the mouth, but the taste is very bad, and only the unique cells and organs of Z worm can use the nutrition inside, which will only lead to diarrhea for other organisms. "Hearing this, he opened his mouth and spewed out the siphon. He squeezed his stomach hard, but the nutrient solution had entered its intestines and was making it grunt.
"It used to be a mushroom blanket, but now it's different." Xiaohua takes Zhao Mai to visit and comes to a strange table. It's actually a mushroom. It's about one meter in diameter, one meter and a half in height, and the umbrella cover is two meters in diameter. When you press it, it feels thick and fleshy. "This is the finished product of mushroom blanket. It's edible. According to the surrounding natural environment and ecosystem, the mushroom blanket will concentrate the nutrition suitable for the surrounding organisms into the umbrella table mushroom. Taste Try it yourself. I don't have that ability. "
"This won't spoil your stomach, will it?"
Xiao Hua squints at Zhao Mai. "I didn't ask. If there is anything that can make me eat bad, it must be a strategic weapon. " Zhao Mai laughed at himself and chewed a piece in his mouth.
It's like eating raw white flour and cooked protein at the same time. It tastes like compressed biscuit. "Why is there no taste?"
"To make all living things eat, but they don't like it." Xiaohua said: "the mushroom blanket is very powerful. It is an ecosystem that can take the initiative to attack. Whether it is forest or swamp, polar or Gobi, it is not its opponent. We are Druids. Mushroom blanket is used to supply Z insects. The purpose is to reduce the damage to the natural environment, not to destroy and replace the local ecology, right
"It makes sense that it doesn't taste!"
