Chapter 21 Responsibilities
The mother nest is lying in the forest not far from the base at this moment, with the shells on its body crackling and starting to grow again. The bloated abdomen has shrunk significantly, and it is obvious that the food stored has been consumed almost. This growth makes it more than three meters long, and the height of its back is similar to that of an adult human man, but there is no obvious change in the junction, blade, and head. It staggers forward for a few steps, leaving three translucent eggs in place.
The eggs are oval and stretch quickly as soon as they land. Through the egg wall, you can see that the creatures inside are growing and forming rapidly. Then two blades suddenly pierced the egg wall. The worker bees with three and a half meter long and similar shape to the newborn mother nest crawled out of the egg chamber. It took only about ten minutes for the three worker bees to lay eggs to be born. After they broke out, the first thing they did was to eat the egg shell cleanly, then shake their bodies, and after the shell hardened, their body size became much bigger, and it was nearly one meter long.
Three worker bees fluttered, flew around the mother nest, and then quickly flew into the depths of the forest. The mother nest was quietly lying in place, like a dark rock under the night.
The night has fallen, and it is still clear tonight. The sky is bright and the stars are bright. Although the moonlight is light, there is still a gray gauze radiating into the mountains and forests. The mother nest suddenly moved its body, changed direction, and retreated into the shadow of the trees. It heard a faint voice from afar and immediately became alert. But then it smelled the familiar smell, so its open armor slowly closed and quietly fell down again.
Hundreds of meters away, a piece of open space in the woods was illuminated by torches as bright as daytime. Ten prisoners had dug out a large pit and a small pit. At this moment, the bodies of warriors were being moved from the cart and thrown into the pit. Two infantry knights were fully armed and monitored the prisoners' work. The bodies of the two jazz and the enfeoffed knights were placed in the pit, showing a unique treatment. This was in line with the original plane and the tradition of Noland. Nobles and civilians always had to be distinguished, and even more so after death.
The body was buried quickly, and Liusha gave way to the cavalry warriors to take the captives back first, saying that they still need to pray here. After the daytime battle, Liusha had established authority in this team second only to Richard, and almost everyone owed her half a life. As long as Liusha was behind her, every soldier would feel very at ease.
Liusha stood quietly in place, watching the infantry knights and prisoners disappear from sight. She opened the Book of Time and turned to one of the pages. The pages were painted with an exquisite illustration, which recorded the story of the priests of Eternity and the Dragon of Time wandering around the continent, spreading teachings, and finding and treating patients with a magical disease called "Albinoing and Deficit", but what was strange was that there was a small spot of light on the illustration. Liusha looked at the location of the spots, closed the Book of Time and walked deep into the forest.
The roar of bears faintly sounded in the forest.
A worker bee flew to the mother nest, left a rabbit, and then turned back and flew deep into the woods. There was a rustling sound from the bushes, and another worker bee crawled out with a gray wolf. The gray wolf was larger than it, so the worker bee could only drag it backwards to move closer to the mother nest.
At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded not far away, and a fat black bear suddenly rushed out of the woods. Not far ahead of it, a worker bee flew slowly, always at the height that the black bear could swing its claws, but it was very flexible to move and dodge, and it kept flashing the black bear's attack when it was inconvenient. There was an obvious wound on the head of the black bear, which seemed to be bitten by the worker bee. Seeing the black bear rushing towards it, the originally quiet mother nest also stood up excitedly and crawled towards the black bear. When it was close to ten meters at a distance, the mother nest made a mental impact. The black bear suddenly stood up, and then rolled on the ground in pain, and stopped moving after a moment.
When Liusha walked out of the forest, I saw the black bear that had been eaten most of the time. The mother's nest stopped eating and looked at Liusha alertly. The mouthpiece opened slightly, and thick acid liquid began to drip. Obviously, if Liusha showed hostility or was too close, then the acid liquid that would greet her would be an arrow-like acid liquid.
Liusha stopped and said, "You don't need to worry about me."
The mother nest vibrated the mouthparts a few times, and the back armor behind the head suddenly opened a small piece, revealing a little film. As the membrane vibrated, it actually started to speak like a human, but its voice seemed a little hoarse and weird: "Because you and your master have no soul contract."
Liusha smiled calmly and said, "The relationship between me and your master is more stable than the contract."
"I only believe in the contract." Maternal Nest replied.
"Why don't you use spiritual links? This way we can communicate through spiritual communication." Liusha suggested.
Mother Nest flatly refused: "You have powerful divine power. You will never have spiritual links with you until I enter the mature body! In addition, my suggestion is to put down the book in your hand, which makes me feel very uneasy and I can't help but want to attack."
Liushayang Yangyang Book of Time and said, "Is this book? No problem." Her movement made the mother suddenly open her armor, but when she saw that she really squatted down and placed the Book of Time upright on the ground, the mother fell silent.
"Now we can have a good talk. My name is Liusha."
"You can call me the mother's nest. Beautiful flowing sand, what's the matter with you looking for me?" asked the mother's nest.
Liusha said oh and asked with interest: "Am I really beautiful?"
Mother Nest answered with unique honesty: "Yes, very beautiful. In my eyes, everything that is powerful, balanced, and perfect is beautiful. You meet all the above standards, especially the lines on your forehead, contain unimaginable power, which shocks me."
"You really know how to compliment." Liusha smiled. If Liusha who said not to laugh was beautiful, holy and mysterious as the ruins in the Eternal Dragon Hall, as if the clear amber solidified every vicissitudes of time, then Liusha who smiled seemed to flow in an instant, and the magnificence of countless planes and spaces bloomed thrillingly at the same time.
However, Liusha quickly put away his smile and said, "Your master, Richard, is not in a good situation now. He actually needs your strength very much."
"I'm trying to grow, and you disturbed my eating." Maternal answered.
Liusha glanced at the black bear with only half of it and asked, "Can this food satisfy you? How far are you from ripening?"
"The black bear is very good, it has power. In addition, now I can be regarded as having three-quarters of the juvenile body."
"Very powerful..." Liusha keenly captured the word and asked, "You need powerful creatures in your larval stage, besides flesh and metal?"
"Flesh and metal are the basis for my growth, and the stronger my food is and the more powerful it is, it is the most helpful for me. I will analyze the causes of their power and use it. After I have passed through my larvae, I will start to need foods rich in magical energy."
Liusha nodded and said, "Very good, so come with me, I think there is some food that is useful to you."
The mother nest hesitated for a while, but still followed the flowing sand. As for the remaining black bear, it naturally could not be wasted. It summoned the two worker bees back and dragged the black bear for it.
Liusha led the mother nest to the open space where the bodies of the dead were buried. As soon as he arrived, the mother nest opened its armor with some excitement, but it only crawled forward a few steps before stopping.
"The master means that humans cannot be treated as food," said the mother.
"Humans also divide friends and enemies, and there is nothing to hesitate to eat those who want to kill you. Importantly, Richard needs your strength now."
"But the master..." The mother nest was still hesitating, but after coming to this open space, the black bear could no longer attract its attention.
"Richae has his own ideas and principles to stick to, which is the source of his strong will and also the guarantee for others to follow him. Therefore, I will do some things that he cannot or does not want to do but must do. You don't need to hesitate, and I will be responsible for everything. You are very wise and should understand that only by living, including your master, can you stick to principles."
The mother nest did not move, but the two worker bees threw down the black bear and flew up. They quickly shoveled away the thin soil, revealing the buried corpse below. In the middle was Sir Mintai, who was still wearing a full set of armor, with the broken large shield covering his body, and the blood-stained three-headed chain hammer at hand.
