Ninja World: Insect Princess From Konoha

The first ANBU mission was finally over.

When everyone gathered together again, they were in a cave.

This is where Mei Ji found out.

It's very warm inside the cave, and with the flame insects raising the temperature, I don't feel the chill of the wind and snow outside at all.

"It seems we can't leave tonight." White Fang said, looking at the heavy snow outside.

Mei Ji nodded and looked out into the heavy snow. Not long after, a Xia Chizu flew in and staggered on Mei Ji's outstretched finger.

It was so cold that the wings began to freeze.

Tolerance to harsh environments is temporary. As time accumulates, the test on body functions will become more and more severe.

It is no longer possible to perform tasks in such bad weather.

Moreover, the fragile structure of wings is not easy to increase in strength, unless it is bio-steel.

But it is also not easy to grow bio-steel wings.

Mei Ji stretched out her hand and let go of Xia Chizu.

As an experimental first work, it already has practical value.

However, this one has already suffered from heatstroke...

Not as good as…

Xia Chizu dissolved itself in the air, leaving only the empty shell of the insect when it landed.

In the wind and snow outside, more Xia Chi soldiers were unable to return, and their own small amount of chakra could not support the counter-channelling technique.

After falling one after another, they started to dissolve automatically.

If it wasn't for a quick carpet search, Mei Ji wouldn't have summoned this number of insect swarms.

Moreover, Xia Chizu flying in a group can effectively maintain heat and carry out continuous reconnaissance work in bad weather without freezing to death quickly.

White Fang glanced at the empty shell on the ground and couldn't help but ask: "Chong, do you have a lot of chakra?"

"Is it much?" Mei Ji replied: "Not much, he is the least among us."

"Isn't it possible?" White Fang said: "The number of insects in this swarm will consume a huge amount just by channeling."

"Xia Chizu's dead weight is 1.5 grams, and the number of 500,000 is only 750 kilograms, 0.75 tons."

“Is less than a ton a lot of mass?”

"A powerful psychic behemoth starts with a thousand tons, and can even reach tens of thousands of tons."

"My bugs are not powerful at all." Mei Ji said: "They can't compare to those big guys."

"It's not a big burden for me to channel a swarm of insects of this quality."

White Fang swallowed, a little speechless.

Your bugs are basically detonating talismans. Even if they encounter a giant beast of tens of thousands of tons, they will be hated on the spot!

"What does it eat? Chakra?" White Fang continued to ask.

"Captain White Fang, you have too many questions!" Zhili said forcefully with a slightly cold voice.

White Fang scratched his head.

Even among companions, there is no unspoken rule regarding technique-related information.

This is their own secret.

It wasn't that White Fang didn't know, he was just too curious.

Because this is very powerful.

"It's not a big deal. This kind of bug doesn't eat chakra." Mei Ji said.

Xia Chizu himself does not have the gene for parasites and does not have the ability to hatch quickly.

But Mei Ji has the skill of pot poison.

This family secret, which was first recognized by Mei Ji as a powerful one, has been revised four times after learning the sealing technique.

It took eight years.

The first time was to separate out the function of rapid hatching. After two years of learning the sealing technique, the second time was to become a giant. Also two years later, the third time was to transform the barrier into a super giant. The fourth time was a giant transformation. Years ago, it was portable and miniaturized.

When Xia Chizu was quickly hatched before, Mei Ji opened a pot poison barrier on her hand, and the parasites in her body provided the nutrients and vitality needed for rapid hatching.

The essence of this technique is to speed up cell division, so it will shorten the life span of insects.

But that's not a big deal.

Xia Chizu himself was born to die, a life that bloomed briefly like fireworks.

Therefore, it is also known as the meteor flying backwards.

Fireworks are launched into the sky, just like meteors flying backwards.

"You don't eat chakra? What do you eat? Meat?" Seeing that Mei Ji didn't mind, Bai Ya continued to ask.

"Well, eating protein doesn't just mean meat, you can eat anything you can, including the same kind." Mei Ji said.

"If you breed on such a large scale, you will have to eat a lot, even if it is as small as an insect." White Fang sighed and said, "My dog ​​eats a lot, it's almost like it can't get enough to eat."

"You made some mistakes, Captain White Fang." Mei Ji said: "The activities of living things require the support of energy, and energy comes from absorbed nutrients."

"In the wild, all living things work for this purpose, which is to collect energy to survive."

"Once activity begins, energy will be consumed, and energy must be replenished when energy is consumed. This is the essence of predation."

"When the energy consumed cannot keep up with the energy replenished, it will continue to hunt until the income is proportional, that is, it is full, and it will not stop."

"In this way, even a small insect like a dragonfly eats a terrible number of mosquitoes every day, weighing several times its own weight."

"It is constantly consuming energy, so it needs to keep hunting."

"And interestingly, hibernating bears store enough fat to survive the long, brutal winter without food."

"The reason is that the bears stop moving and reduce their energy expenditure."

"Similarly, allowing the insect swarm to go dormant and completely cease activity can significantly reduce food consumption."

"Xia Chizu's body weight is 1.5 grams, and he can maintain his normal functions by consuming 5% of his body weight in food every day."

"And this insect swarm with a mass of 500,000 has a total weight of 0.75 tons. What is the consumption of 5% of its own weight, Captain White Fang."

White Fang scratched his head, this...

He is an outstanding early graduate of Konoha Ninja School.

How could this kind of question be possible!

"37.5 kilograms." Mei Ji said: "That is 75 kilograms, less than 100 kilograms of food."

"Oh! Got it!" White Fang nodded heavily.

Mei Ji has made it very simple and easy to understand.

That's why Mei Ji thinks that the cheap ones are as cheap as toilet paper, no, cheaper than toilet paper.

Even for this one hundred kilograms of food, Meiji didn't spend a cent.

To tell the answer why.

That is…

"Even if the food consumption is small, it is troublesome to feed so many bugs carefully, right?" Bai Ya wondered: "Are you busy here alone? When I feed the dog by myself, I am often in a hurry, and I am also very busy when cooking the dog food. Trouble, it’s just a dozen dogs, and the total weighs less than a thousand pounds.”

He wanted to ask for tips on feeding pets.

"Captain White Fang, this part is the real secret transmission content." Mei Ji smiled and said, "I can't tell you this."

"That's it..." Bai Ya was a little disappointed, but not too disappointed. He was used to feeding the dog in his spare time, and sometimes he felt uncomfortable without combing his hair.

Meiji looked outside the cave.

Being able to raise an insect swarm of this size is where the power of the superorganism lies.

There are specialized insect swarms responsible for collecting resources, and at the same time carrying out resource-increasing activities such as animal husbandry, planting, and mineral mining. There are also specialized insects responsible for feeding various Mei Ji's troops.

Squeeze the utilization of resources to the limit, and use every point on the steel blade.

Although it is still only a prototype.

But the outline of the real empire has already emerged in front of Mei Ji's eyes.
