Ninja World: Insect Princess from Konoha

Chapter 156

The dark and narrow space is only about one square meter in size, and the height is only about one meter high.

Can't stand, can't lie down, can only hug knees and curl up.

There is no freedom of movement at all.

The ground was cold and hard, and all I could see was darkness.

Even the passage of time becomes blurred.

Loneliness is deadly poison.

When a person is in a lonely environment, he will unnaturally start to think wildly.

This creates mental fear.

The pain of mental torture is far greater than the pain of physical or other aspects.

Alone in a closed space, the sense of loneliness is gathering, constantly impacting the psychological defense line until it collapses.

And this training is an extreme test of one's inner endurance.

In the beginning, Tsunade was quite calm, and even felt a little childish, just staying in the dark space, there was nothing here, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

But as time passed, Tsunade realized something was wrong.

How long has time passed?
It feels like a long time ago, but there is no reference to judge in the enclosed space.

It is impossible to determine the exact time at all.

Tsunade decided to take a nap, but his tense and depressed spirit did not feel sleepy at all.

After tossing for a while, I couldn't fall asleep.

At this time, Tsunade started to think wildly.

Many ideas came, but no concrete idea.

There was only the sound of his own breathing in his ears, and a huge sense of loneliness quietly grabbed Tsunade.

Breathing speeds up unconsciously.

Heartbeat started to speed up and I felt palpitations.

When the body showed various signs, another emotion quietly approached.

Its name is fear.

Tsunade didn't know what he was afraid of. There was nothing scary about this simple environment. Even monsters should be afraid of her.

But Tsunade didn't even realize that he was afraid, he just simply felt flustered.

It can't go on like this.

Tsunade wanted to communicate with people, but there was no one to communicate with.

Then, you can only talk to yourself.

Muttering in a low voice, the voice gradually became louder.

People who walk at night will do this, and they will embolden themselves by talking out loud to fight against psychological fear.

Commonly known as scaring oneself.

The louder it is, the more frightened it is.

"Mage!!!"

"Are you there!!! Miki!!!"

"Michie!!?"

No one answered.

But people are there.

Sitting far downwind, on a platform extending from a mountain wall, Maggie was roasting frogs.

Hearing the sound, whether Meiji saw it or not, sprinkled chili noodles.

Above the head is the cave where Tsunade is.

The voice is trembling...

Even without listening to the voice, Miki could smell Tsunade's state.

"I want to pee!!! Meggie!!!"

Pee all you want.

Maggie didn't answer.

There was a lot of noise, and suddenly Tsunade fell silent.

A few minutes later, Tsunade started singing.

Meggie's hands froze, she didn't expect that she could do this kind of work.

Okay.

The taste of frogs.

Just eat this at noon.

There are also weird ones.

Singing until the voice is hoarse, it means that after an afternoon, it gradually stops.

The neighborhood is quiet.

Meiji sat cross-legged, propped her chin with one hand, and looked down at the forest below.

It seems to be in a daze, but it is actually observing the swarm.

Something interesting happened recently.

Goliath scarab.

There's an interesting twist on this big guy.

That is co-evolution.

Under the pressure of the environment and Eve's swarm, these guys seemed unwilling to just become meat worms in the farm.

Some adult beetles joined the team of Eve's swarm and began to assist the work of Eve's swarm.

Help the Eve Swarm carry the dung balls.

And the Eve swarm also accepted them.

Therefore, such a scene can often be seen in the woods.

On the 'high-speed' channel established by Eve's swarm, two scarabs rolled forward with dung balls in a group, and the dung ball transportation team formed a long queue in the soil pit under the cover of leaves and branches.

On both sides of the passage, there are guards of Eve's swarm, responsible for resisting infesting creatures.

Among the Eve swarm, there is no Goliath scarab of such a huge size. Therefore, as a large transport insect, the work efficiency has been greatly improved.

And this move brought positive feedback to the Goliath scarab itself.

That is, the survival rate of larvae began to increase significantly.

After weighing, Eve's swarm gave up eating meat and chose to increase efficiency.

What Maggie is considering now is whether to bring the Goliath scarab under the control of her own swarm.

The adults of this beetle have no special abilities other than rolling dung balls.

However, the function of the pig itself is not indispensable, and the Eve swarm does not only raise this kind of meat worm.

And the main function of the Goliath scarab farm is to grow the flora.

There will be the idea of ​​​​dominating scarabs, because at present, Maggie needs more tool insects to expand the territory.

There is nothing wrong with the Eve swarm on land.

The problem is the underwater environment.

The underwater environment is divided into freshwater environment and seawater environment.

Among them, seawater environment is particularly rich in resources.

In addition, there are underground environments.

To excavate and build deeper into the strata, with the ability of the Eve swarm, it is also a huge project calculated in decades.

The most important thing is the lack of digging ability.

Earthworms are nice creatures, but they're still too small.

Maggie needs a bigger, relentless excavator to open up a large underground space.

Such as giant sandworms or death worms.

But the ideal is the tunnel worm.

After digging the pit, there is no need to worry about the subsequent channel collapse.

This kind of bug can extend its body size infinitely in the way of growth, and at the same time of digging, it will become a part of the tunnel itself.

The flesh and blood channels in its body can rely on muscle peristalsis and chemical substances to carry out high-speed transportation.

Just like the blood circulation in the heart vessels.

Through the blood circulation, various nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the cells of the whole body.

Use tunnel worms to build a super-large underground wormway network, secretly occupying the entire planet without destroying the surface ecology.

In this way, the entire planet will be transformed into Zerg.

And it is an important step for the utilization of geothermal energy.

To reach this point, there are many technologies to be unlocked and developed.

At the very least, get a bug that absorbs geothermal energy first.

The continuation of life lies in the acquisition and utilization of energy.

There are plants that carry out photosynthesis through chlorophyll to maintain life, and there are also thermophilic microorganisms that attach to submarine craters and rely on heat to maintain life.

The former Meiji has a large number of phytoxoids, and the progress is steadily advancing, while the latter needs to find the plastids.

And compared to relying on photosynthesis to develop on the surface, Maggie tends to hide underground and rely on geothermal heat.

Meggie thought about something about bugs.

At this time, with a loud noise, Tsunade broke through the simple confinement room and ran out.

Meggie looked at the sky.

It was already late at night.

He patted the ashes and stood up.

After Tsunade looked around and found Miki, he flew down the mountain wall and crashed into Miki's arms.

Breaking down and crying loudly.

Cry like a little girl.

"It's okay, don't be afraid..."

Rubbing Tsunade's head and gently patting his back, Miki comforted him softly.

Hearing this, Tsunade howled even louder.

She was horrified.

The body is shaking slightly.
