Chapter 343: Anything New Caught?
Hear the news.
Jiang Tian raised his eyebrows, and followed Biaozi out of the cafeteria door without caring about eating anymore.
At the same time, the other men also looked at each other.
"What's going on? Why did the boss suddenly leave without eating?"
"I was just chatting with someone. I didn't hear what Biaozi said to the boss just now. There was something wrong with the boss's face."
"I was eating just now when I vaguely heard Biaozi say... boss's egg cracked?"
"What? There is such a thing?!"
"Let's go and take a look!"
"I'll go too!"
After a short conversation, the men in the cafeteria stood up at the same time and followed Jiang Tian towards the south of the island.
…
On the south side of the island, there is a bonfire that has not been extinguished for several days.
Biaozi led Jiang Tian here and pointed to the ground.
"Boss, look."
Jiang Tian looked around and saw that the brown, streaked egg had indeed cracked a gap, and the eggshell fragments fell next to it.
But the egg was still trembling, as if something was struggling inside.
Soon, several more eggshells fell with trembling. The egg cracked in half horizontally, revealing a tiny figure inside.
Under the illumination of the bonfire, the little figure first turned around and ate some of the remaining magma-like liquid inside the eggshell.
Then he stuck his head out and looked at the outside world.
At the same time, Jiang Tian was also looking at the creatures inside the eggshell.
It was a completely black insect, about twenty centimeters in length, with a chubby body that looked like it was made up of several No. 8 billiard balls of different sizes.
There were two soybean-sized eyes on its head, which happened to make eye contact with the bent Jiang Tian.
Seeing the 'behemoth' in front of it, the insect raised its head, with big doubts in its small eyes. There was a crack in the part under the eye, which seemed to be its mouth, which was also wide open at this time, as if to express its shock.
At this time, a group of subordinates also followed Jiang Tian's footsteps and quickly surrounded the bonfire area.
"My lord, I heard that there is something strange about your body? Let me take a look!"
"Hey, what is this?"
"Isn't this the egg from before? Something hatched from it? A worm?"
"This bug looks so ugly!"
"Is it ugly? I think this bug looks quite cute."
"..."
After noticing the abnormality here, all the subordinates bent down at the same time and pointed at the bugs in the eggshell.
After seeing this thing, Jiang Tian was inexplicably relieved.
Although the thing that hatched was still a worm, it was much better than what I had guessed before.
And it looks round and has an ugly feeling.
The little insect inside the eggshell was obviously frightened when it saw the dark crowd in front of it, and it curled up in the eggshell and did not dare to move.
Its black body suddenly burst into flames, as if to warn these humans not to get close to it.
"Hey, there's still fire coming out of your body? It does fit the characteristics of a dragon fly."
Seeing this, Jiang Tian raised his eyebrows and waved his hands to let everyone disperse. Xiaochong then raised his head again and looked at everything in front of him.
At this time, only Cai Wenji, Li Xiuning and Tang Yan were left to join in the fun.
Seeing this thing, Li Xiuning frowned, as if he was repelled by bugs.
But Cai Wenji squatted down and glared at the bug.
He stretched out his little hand, wanting to touch the bug, but as soon as he got close to it, he could feel a scorching temperature, so he retracted his hand.
Then he raised his head and asked:
"Master, do you want to raise this insect?"
Hearing this, Jiang Tian thought for a while and put the bug on the trading house, marking 90,000 kilograms of iron for sale.
This way you can see its name.
[Super cute lava bug]
Good guy, this name is really nifty and cute? !
In addition to this, the lava bug's name shows white instead of red.
This shows that this thing should not hurt anyone maliciously.
Then Jiang Tian nodded. As long as this bug can be domesticated and will not actively attack humans, he can still stick to his original idea.
"Master, let's give it a name!"
"Choose a name?"
There is a name, but [Super cute lava bug] is too long.
Hearing this question, Jiang Tian twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Then...called Xiao Hei?"
Jiang Tian himself was a little ashamed of this name.
As a name-breaker, he didn't know what to call him.
At this time, Tang Yan said carelessly:
"Isn't its mother called Dragon Fly? According to me, this thing is called Dragon Maggot!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were fixed on Tang Yan at the same time.
When he said this, something that didn't seem disgusting at first made people unable to eat.
Tang Yan also felt a little embarrassed by being stared at like this, so he turned around and returned to the canteen to continue eating.
Forget it, let’s think about the name later.
Afterwards, Jiang Tian squatted down, picked up a branch and poked the little thing.
Through the touch of the branches, the body of this lava bug is relatively soft, as if it is poking a flesh ball.
However, at this moment, the lava bug's body burst into flames again.
Under the high temperature, the branches around its body began to burn, and soon turned into a pool of charcoal and ash.
Then the lava worm opened its mouth and swallowed the broken charcoal and ash, and actually smiled at Jiang Tian in an anthropomorphic way, as if thanking him for the hospitality.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Tian reacted.
This thing is really hard to raise. With its characteristic of setting fires at will, it might even burn down the house when it wakes up.
After thinking about it, Jiang Tian called his men to build an area with stones next to the bonfire, and surrounded the lava worm inside to prevent it from running around.
Soon after.
One by one, the stones surrounded a one-meter-high stone wall within a one-meter radius of the bonfire, and Jiang Tian stepped out of the wall.
The lava worm also wanted to follow him out, but because it was blocked by the stones, it could only watch Jiang Tian leave.
When everyone returned to the cafeteria, Jiang Tian instructed Shi Zhigang, who had just finished his meal:
"Aren't you expanding the blacksmith shop now? So, make a nest for the lava worm with cement next to the blacksmith shop and keep it in it."
Shi Zhigang responded and walked away, so Jiang Tian was able to sit down and continue eating.
...
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was around nine o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Tian stood in the center of the island, looked at the moon hanging above his head and instructed:
"Everyone has worked hard, it's time to go home!"
"Ohhhhh!!"
The men cheered and began to organize their tools to get off work.
After finishing the packing, the men walked towards the dormitory one by one, and began to discuss playing a few cards later.
Some of the men even went to the "fence" of the lava worm and took a few glances inside. At the prompt of the patrol members guarding it, they threw some branches or ashes into it to feed it, just like visiting a zoo.
Jiang Tian came to the fishing spot and asked Cai Wenji:
"How was your fishing today? Did you catch anything new besides the hairtail?"
