Pokemon Settler

Chapter 69 The Thriving Unicorn Bug

According to what Rock learned, unlike the organizational structure of Queen Bee and Three Bees, the internal structure of Big Tit's population is more like a Datong society.

They form a colony around the nest as a family unit, and jointly raise the unicorns in the nest.

Although the division of labor among the big tits is different, except for one or a few leaders who participate in decision-making, all other big tits are equal.

The foraging giant needles will bring food back to the companions guarding the nest, and all the hives are surrounded by the horned insects and iron-shelled insects in the middle of the nest for protection.

Even the leader of the swarm is held by the most powerful Big Needle.

And the higher the status in the hive, the greater the responsibility.

Only the warriors who can lead their companions to obtain more food, or who are at the forefront of every battle can be recognized by all the great titans.

If it weren't for the short lifespan of Big Needle, Rock would actually like to tame a Pokémon that has such a bad temper with him.

It's a pity that I'm past the age where I don't care about anything.

Rock sighed softly, retracted his thoughts, and placed a large handful of flowers and leaves one by one in the arranged insect box.

He then checked around the worm bins and saw each unicorn worm starting to feed before returning to camp.

That night, Rock dreamed that he had turned into a Kirby and was swimming in a sea of ​​honey.

The golden sea water hit his face and felt wet. He wiped it and wanted to taste it, but after smelling it, he felt it didn't taste right.

Opening his eyes, Rock was shocked to find a huge black dog head lying on his face and licking him.

Woof woof!

Seeing Roark waking up, Delubi screamed happily and ran around him.

Rock used his hands to block the dazzling sunlight. Unknowingly, the sun had risen very high.

Ha~ I woke up late. It seems I want to eat honey too much.

The sleepiness slowly faded away, and Rock yawned as he stood up from his sleeping bag. After stretching, he and the three elves strolled to the river to wash up.

There are not many work tasks today. The fruit trees in the orchard are growing very well and they no longer require much attention from him except for regular watering.

Breakfast was an omelette with bacon that had been eaten for three days. After eating, Rock took the tools and went to the apiary that was just completed last night.

He walked over to each worm bin and inspected it.

The unicorn bugs seemed to have adapted to life in their new home. They had basically eaten all the flowers, branches and leaves in the worm box, and were currently curling up and resting inside.

Rock took out his hand ax and chopped some branches of shrubs, and made a simple broom to collect fallen flowers under the beech forest.

Then he went to the linden forest not far away to pick some fresh leaves, mixed them and added them to the worm box of the one-horned worm.

Before adding food, Rock poured out the feces in the worm box.

These insect excrements do not need to be treated, they can be decomposed into the soil within a day, and they are good nutrients for this forest.

The trees where giant needles nest in the wild are usually taller. In addition to their deliberate selection, they also have the effect of these insect droppings to a certain extent.

After cleaning the worm droppings from the forty-five beehives and adding food, Rock walked up the mountain carrying his Squirtle watering can.

There is a mountain spring not far from his apiary. The spring water is crystal clear and gushes out from the cracks in the rocks, forming a small pool.

The water from the pool overflowed to form a stream, jumping and flowing on the rocks, and finally merged into the big river in the territory.

This spring water looks good.

Rock took a sip of the spring water, which tasted clear and sweet.

So he filled the watering can and mentioned that the apiary had sprinkled some spring water into each worm box.

After these unicorns evolve, he will no longer have to take care of them hand-in-hand like this. The mature bee colony by then will naturally pass on Rock's pheromones to the next generation.

At that time, the newly born unicorn beetles will not need a worm box and can feed on fallen flowers and grass leaves in the apiary on their own, and there will be a large needle to feed them.

Seeing the forty-five worm boxes arranged in a chaotic order under the tall tree, Rock sat down on the grass to rest with satisfaction.

In order to maintain the quality of the bee farm's population, he is not going to collect new unicorn beetles from the wild.

The most poisonous group of unicorn bugs near the territory are basically all here. He only needs to take good care of them and let these unicorn bugs evolve into giant needles, and then reproduce and grow naturally.

Excluding some exceptions, the average lifespan of an ordinary large needle is only three years.

They are not sexually mature during the first year of evolution, and then give birth to two to three larvae each year for the next two years until they reach the limit of their nest's resource capacity.

When the resources near the nest are no longer sufficient to support the continued increase in the population of the giant tit, the giant tit will control its own fertility and maintain the population in a balanced state.

Of course, this is an ideal environment. There are too many accidents in the wild that cause the number of big tits to change.

Rock lay on the grass looking at the lush tree canopy, calculating in his mind.

My apiary may eventually reach the size of two hundred large pinheads.

Except for the three months of winter, a large needle can produce an average of one liter of honey every month.

Based on the calculation of only picking half at a time, Rock's future apiary can harvest one hundred liters of honey in a month.

Depending on the quality, the price of honey per liter ranges from 100 yuan to 800 yuan.

If all goes well, the apiary will be able to provide Rock with an income of more than 50,000 yuan every month in the future.

The morning passed quickly, and Rock planned to prepare lunch, but when he walked past a worm box, he saw that the food in it was almost gone.

So I had to postpone lunch for myself and the elves, and add food to these unicorn bugs first.

Eat more, don't worry, you will eat and drink well if you follow me. Grow up quickly and have more children.

Rock said quietly while taking a watering can and sprinkling spring water into the worm box.

He found that these unicorn bugs seemed to like a mixture of flowers and linden leaves, and ate them quickly.

He was naturally happy to see this.

In the following days, Rock simply stayed in the bee farm all day long, constantly repeating the work of collecting flowers and leaves, dumping insect excrement, and fetching spring water.

Haha, it seems to be a little heavier again. Not bad, little girl, keep eating well.

Rock had a unicorn worm hanging on his shoulder, and he was cleaning the worm's worm box.

After a few days of getting along with each other, these unicorn bugs have become familiar with his scent and become friendly to him.

Every time it was feeding time, the unicorn bugs that sensed Rock's arrival poked their heads out of the worm box one by one, looking at him with their small black bean-like eyes, waiting to be fed.

There are also some lively little guys, like the one on Rock's shoulder, who will crawl along his arm to his shoulder to feel the feeling of climbing high and looking far.

Although these unicorn worms come from different populations, after gathering together, through the transmission of some pheromones, they will gradually form a new swarm.

The manifestation is that their growth will gradually synchronize, and finally evolve into the iron-shelled worm together.

It takes two weeks for a unicorn to evolve from its birth.

Rock carried the heavy little guy on his shoulders back into the clean worm box, feeling that they were about to evolve.

He plans to sleep here tonight.

Before evolution, the unicorn bugs would eat like crazy and would not even rest at night.

Rock needs to add food to them in time to prevent these unicorn bugs from not accumulating enough energy before evolving.

Laurel Leaf, you can go to the linden forest and cut some fresh branches and leaves later. Dairubi, you and the Arbo monster will be patrolling the area to prevent other wild Pokémon from approaching.

He also assigned tasks to his three elves, and then carefully patrolled the insect boxes.

Listening to the sound of the unicorn bugs chewing on the leaves, Rock felt a little hopeful.
