Chapter 243
243 Wang Wei’s Return [XIII]
Wang Wei asked strangely: “Elder Yade’s words makes me more and more confused. Your people migrated here from two million years ago. Did you have any questions about this two million years ago? Is the record of Celestial Silkworm finished?”
Yade said. “To be honest, this celestial silkworm, like the earth silkworm we cultivated, is a variant of the celestial silkworm bred by our earth-type elves family two million years ago. The growth environment of silkworms is harsh, so when we migrated, our clan only brought earth silkworms for cultivation. The heavenly silkworms were abandoned by our clan on the land.”
After hearing this, Wang Wei was shocked, it turned out to be like this! Unexpectedly, the fate between myself and this earth elves started from the time of the adventure in Lingchen Cave. Could this be the so-called God’s will?
Wang Wei pondered for a while, then smiled at Yade: “Elder Yade, I suddenly thought about how to settle your clan after we escape from here. That place is a rare holy place for your clan.”
After hearing it, Yade seemed to understand, and quickly cupped his hands and said, “The envoy means... Thank you for the fulfillment of the envoy! In this way, Yade will retire first.”
After saying that, Yade exited the stone room with joy. Only Wang Wei and Tingyu were left. After eating the Heavenly Spirit Silkworm, they began to practice.
In a blink of an eye, another week has passed. During this week, Wang Wei and Ting Yu, had always spent their time in cultivation, and their injuries had fully recovered under their meditation.
Through the understanding in the past few days, Wang Wei found that the earth elves not only cultivated silkworms as food in this cave, but also cultivated a kind of edible mushrooms. After cooking the mushrooms, pouring them into the silkworm juice not only tasted delicious and delicious, but also greatly helped to improve the cultivation base.
Moreover, under the leadership of Yade, Wang Wei finally saw the true face of the silkworm. Contrasting with the name, the earth silkworm is indeed raised in the soil, but this soil is specially prepared by the soil elves, which is especially suitable for the growth of the earth silkworm.
.....
When the elves dug a earth silkworm out of the soil, Wang Wei was really taken aback. He saw that the size of this earth silkworm was really not ordinary, it was round, and its plump body was nearly one meter high and two or three meters long. There were more than a dozen pairs of small tentacles under the abdomen, which looked very hard.
However, from a distance, it could still be seen from the outside that its appearance was indeed similar to that of a silkworm. However, this piece was too big! No wonder the earth elves couldn’t eat it. This one earthworm was probably enough to feed hundreds of elves.
However, Yade also explained that a huge earth silkworm like this needed to be cultivated for more than five years to grow so large. The nutrition of the earth silkworm also varied with the length of cultivation time. The longer the earth silkworm was, the more nutritious it became.
Moreover, as long as there was no danger, the lifespan of earth silkworms was extremely long. There were elves who have seen the scene where the earthworm, which had survived for thousands of years, fought with the magic spider. Although it was inevitable that bad luck would eventually escape, it could be seen that the earthworm could also be cultivated.
The earth silkworm was not only unusually huge, but its fertility was also unusually powerful. Take a five-year-old earth silkworm as an example. It could lay hundreds of millions of eggs in its lifetime. Although it was impossible for all of them to survive, even if 1% could survive, it was an astronomical number.
It’s no wonder that so many magic spiders have eaten them for tens of thousands of years and haven’t eaten up the wild earth silkworms around. Even if a silkworm group escaped, it would grow into a large group again in a few years.
The main reason why the earth silkworm was so powerful was that the earth silkworm was a hermaphrodite and could reproduce without mating. Another point was that earth silkworms did not rely on their mouths to eat, and their mouths have basically degenerated. Like plants, earth silkworms rely on their bodies to absorb water and nutrients from the soil to survive.
This determined that the earth silkworm could survive as long as it was in the moist soil. It also meant that the earthworms released by the earth elves continued to prosper after millions of years.
On this day, when Wang Wei finished his practice, he called in the elf who was responsible for his daily wellbeing at the door. This elf was named Dassault, the elf who found Wang Wei’s whereabouts in the ant cave.
If it weren’t for this elf, Wang Wei would probably not know where he would be running around now. Therefore, Elder Yade specially sent this elf to take up the daily life of Wang Wei and Ting Yu.
Because Dassault was very smart and neat, Wang Wei also liked this little guy very much.
After Wang Wei called Dassault into the house, he said to him: “Dassault, you will take us around for a while, so that I can learn about the surrounding terrain.”
Dassault was usually an active master, otherwise he would not have run into the ant cave alone and met Wang Wei and Ting Yu. Standing outside the door of Wang Wei’s residence every day these few days, he was very excited at first because of the mission of taking care of the gods, but after a long time he started to feel bored.
At this time, when Wang Wei said that he was going to explore the terrain around him, he immediately became energetic, so he patted his chest and said to Wang Wei: “Lord Master, if you want to explore the terrain, you have found the right person, the whole clan, Only I am most familiar with the neighborhood, and I know all kinds of short cuts and hiding spots.”
Wang Wei couldn’t help laughing and said: “Okay, I like the path, I plan to go to the ant’s nest again, you are responsible for leading the way!”
“No problem!” Dassault agreed. There was nothing to do, so Wang Wei and Tingyu walked out of the residence under the leadership of Dassault.
After informing him, Elder Yade was really worried, so he had to bring someone to accompany him in person.
Seeing this, quickly said, “No, no! It’s inconvenient to move when there are too many people. It’s enough for Dassault to lead the way. I’m sure about safety. Elder Yade is responsible for the safety of the clan.”
Seeing that Wang Wei was determined, Yade couldn’t say anything more, so he watched the three of Wang Wei’s group get into the small hole and disappeared.
