Evil Insect God
As for Huo Yun'er's wild imagination, Huo Hai could only express his helplessness. Not to mention whether flowers can be woven or not, even if they really can, would you let those grass-eating insects eat them? But not all insects are carnivorous.
"Cloud, this thing is used to raise insects, using flowers and grass really won't work." Huo Hai had no choice but to supplement some common sense for Huo Cloud, probably the first person in this world to make a grass cage, it's not common knowledge for others.
Huoyun's eyes widened in shock: "You, you said what? You actually want to raise insect children. How can you do such a thing?" Upon hearing that it was about raising insect children, Huoyun seemed to have been stimulated and instinctively wanted to throw away the grass basket in her hand. However, looking at the exquisite grass basket in her hand, Huoyun couldn't bear to part with it. It's fine if she just doesn't raise the insect children.
Huǒ Hǎi found it somewhat amusing, indeed girls are afraid of insects. I really don't know how Grandma overcame her fear of insects when she was young. Thinking of Grandma, Huǒ Hǎi's mood became slightly downcast.
"Alright, not all insects are that scary. Think about it, some insects have very pleasant sounds at night, and this cage is for raising those kinds of insects. Besides, you don't need to catch them yourself, just insert some food items in there from time to time."
Huo Hai said it was simple, but raising insect eggs is not that easy. This simple method may be able to keep the insects alive for a few days, but to keep them alive forever is simply impossible. Raising a quail is already so complicated, let alone raising a cicada.
"Really?" Huo Yun'er thought for a moment, and it seemed that some insects' sounds were quite pleasant. Normally, she hadn't noticed, but had instinctively ignored them. Thinking of insects, Huo Yun'er's first reaction was to run away, and she had never taken a close look at them. This mindset, how could Huo Hai not know? Even when he was young, there was a period when he was like this too.
But after taking a closer look at the insect, you'll find that it's not as scary as you thought. "Of course, don't believe me? Take a look at this grass over here, take a closer look, isn't it quite interesting?" Hao Hai pointed to a harmless little bug.
Huoyuner suppressed the fear in her heart and carefully approached to take a look. Upon taking a closer look, she really didn't find anything disgusting about the insect. In fact, upon closer inspection, it seemed like an art piece.
"Wow, really, some insects are actually quite good-looking." Huo Yun'er's eyes sparkled as she tugged on Huo Hai's arm, shaking it repeatedly: "I don't care, I don't care, Brother Hai, you said some insects have nice sounds, so you have to catch one for me. Otherwise, otherwise, I'll take all these grass baskets away." Huo Yun'er had actually learned how to threaten people.
Hu Hai wasn't very familiar with Hu Yun'er, but deep down in his soul, a warm feeling surged up. This was the feeling of kinship. In his past life, he had never had a sister before. Now that heaven had given him a sister in this life, he would definitely not let her come to harm.
"Alright, let's go." Huo Hai suddenly stood up and agreed directly. This startled Huo Yun'er greatly.
In a clump of grass, Huo Hai and Huo Yun'er crouched beside it, watching carefully. Huo Yun'er didn't even dare to breathe loudly. If Huo Hai were to catch insects on Earth, he wouldn't need to be so troublesome. He remembered the pleasant sounds of the insects' calls. But in the Spiritual Realm, things weren't that simple, because he was completely unfamiliar with the insects of this world.
So first of all, let's observe a bit. Fortunately, there are many types of insects, but roughly speaking, they can be divided into just a few categories. Generally speaking, small insects on Earth and in this world have a lot of similarities.
Apart from minor differences, similar insects are enough for personal use. Through observation, understanding different insects is also a subject of insect breeding. Whether there is toxicity, what special talents, even living habits and so on, many are observed through the eyes. Huo Hai has little experience in this regard, but theoretical knowledge is not lacking at all.
"A crisp and pleasant sound suddenly rang out in his ear, and Huo Hai glanced over without making a sound. He saw a large-headed black insect perched on a leaf, emitting a pleasant and moving sound."
Huo Hai thought to himself: "It looks very much like a cricket, I wonder if it can be used for fighting. The sound is clear and pleasant, meeting Yun's requirements, and judging by the way it makes sounds with its wings, it should also rely on high-frequency vibrations of its wings when making sounds. Looking at the shape of its leaves, it should be herbivorous." In an instant, Huo Hai had grasped the basic information about this insect.
Huo Hai originally intended to observe for a while, but seeing the anxious look in Huo Yun's eyes, he could only sigh. Forget it, let's just catch him first and talk about it later, as for what happens next, we'll deal with that later.
Suddenly remembered, Huo Hai's divine movement flashed and his speed was extremely fast. The Huo Hai who had cultivated the spiritual key was not someone that his former self on Earth could compare to. Catching insects was easy, and even the insects themselves didn't have time to react.
In an instant, the little insect was caught by Huo Hai, who lightly swung his right hand and used the grass cage to cut off the leaf where the insect was hiding, sending it into the cage. Then he covered the cage with a lid, the whole action was smooth and effortless, without any delay or harm to the insect, at most just scaring the little insect a bit, nothing serious.
Cover the grass cage tightly, and hand it over to Yun'er: "Yun'er, here is the insect you wanted. You just need to feed it some green grass from time to time." Huo Hai briefly explained the things that need attention when raising insects.
Afterwards, Bai Nian lowered his head again and started observing the insects. Huo Yun'er's eyes rolled over, not leaving but instead using the method taught by Huo Hai to feed the insects while looking at Huo Hai. She also wanted to see what kind of insect Huo Hai was going to catch, as there were so many grass nests here. Could it be that Brother Hai still wants to raise a lot of insects? Listening to music at night, yes, it must be like that.
Huoyun'er thought confidently, but after more than half a day, she regretted it. Because Huohai was quietly staying in this place for a long time, and Huoyun'er almost couldn't bear it. Children are always restless.
When Huo Hai finally caught a bug, Huo Yun'er's face turned iron blue.
"Brother Hai, how can you catch such a disgusting bug, and it's even poisonous." Indeed, Huo Hai had caught a centipede. Of course, it was also possible that it wasn't one, but the two looked really similar. To encounter this commonly used poisonous material for refining puppets, Huo Hai was thrilled beyond words. But the appearance of the centipede was still unbearable, even for Hu Yun'er who had already accepted bugs.
"Heh heh, Yun'er, this thing I caught is useful, but not just for looking good. This thing is called a centipede, although it's poisonous, if used well, it can also be a pretty good medicinal material." Huo Yun'er didn't listen to any of that.
What medicine, isn't it disgusting to look at, not as good-looking as a cicada. Sticking out his tongue, Huo Yun'er turned and ran away. As for Huo Hai, he continued to observe the insect on his own, already thinking about what kind of pill he wanted to refine.
In the following days, Huo Hai spent his time cultivating his spiritual skills and observing the insects in the grass, studying their habits, even using some special methods to observe these insects.
Sometimes, they even extract the venom sacs from the poisonous insects and carefully analyze their composition. Or they dissect the insect to study its structure, so as to determine the type of insect it is, or even the direction in which it may evolve. If possible, he would also like to find some books about insects to read, unfortunately, there are no entomologists in this world.
As for Huo Yun'er, she comes over to take a look every day. However, whenever she sees Huo Hai catching spiders and centipedes, she keeps her distance. But Huo Yun'er takes good care of her own frogs.
For several days in a row, Huo Hai caught one from home to outside the house. The Huo family's courtyard is not small, but it's not big either, with only a few types of insects and very few poisonous ones. To find what he needed, he still had to go outside.
On this day, Huo Hai continued to search outside. A shrill voice suddenly rang out: "Hahaha, look quickly, the fool of the Huo family! This fool has been staying in the grass nest catching insects for several days, does he want to spend his whole life with insects?"
Huo Hai turned his head and glanced at him, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. "The young master of the He family is indeed arrogant, as the second son of the He family, he is almost ten years older than me, but his strength is about the same as mine." Huo Hai didn't want to understand this kind of young master at all. Even though both the He and Huo families were among the top families in the western border of Nan Yun country.
"Look, look at that fool, he doesn't even react when spoken to like that. And they say he's lost his memory? I think he's just crazy. It won't be long before the Huo family is replaced by us." He Yasi said excitedly.
This guy is a complete idiot, completely unaware of the disgust in other people's eyes. This scum only knows how to bully those weaker than himself, and when he sees someone stronger, he becomes a coward. On the contrary, Huo Hai has been very famous since his debut, and anyone who tries to bully him will only be despised even more.
He laughed for a long time, but suddenly found that no one seemed to be responding to him, feeling a bit bored: "Hmph, fools are just fools. This young master will spare you today. Next time I see you, I'll make sure you're in trouble." He felt his face had been slapped.
He Hai and this marginal figure of the He family are different, although he has lost his memory, he is indeed the only legitimate heir of the He family. If He Ya dares to take advantage of this opportunity to make a move on He Hai, then the He family will not let him off. He Ya leaves with a sullen expression, her eyes full of resentment. Even He Hai doesn't know that he has already offended someone without doing anything.
"It's better this way, anyway. If I'm going to be a bad person, I might as well start with someone like this idiot. That way, I won't have any psychological burden." Huo Hai smiled faintly, but the "bad person" in his heart seemed to be different from the one others saw.
