Hokage's Strongest Insect Master

Chapter 62: In-Depth Study of Insects

After running, Zhizhen was ready to go to work.

He returned to Konoha Hospital and came to the research class. A lot of people have already arrived at this time.

Zhizhen greeted each with a smile, and then couldn’t wait to observe the row of glassware on the table.

In addition to the normal practice this week, Zhizhen also conducted in-depth research on the light worm and rock worm.

First, he observed the specific reproduction process of rock worms. This worm reproduces asexually, that is, it reproduces alone, and there is no gender difference.

By stimulating their bodies with Chakra, their bodies, which were originally difficult to damage with swords, will appear to be cracked. As time goes by, new juvenile rockworms will crawl out of their bodies, and their body size will be smaller than that of adult rockworms. Tripled.

In addition, the number of rock hardworms born is mostly two, and due to individual differences, sometimes three will crawl out.

If it is not cultivated by Chakra, under normal circumstances, rock worms will only begin to reproduce on the day they die.

Then the dead rock worms will be swallowed as food by the newly born rock worms, supplementing nutrients.

However, the vitality of this insect is very tenacious. Zhizhen splits the two newly born rock hard insects apart, and one of them does not give it food.

The one who didn’t eat anything and didn’t receive Chakra, still lived for a week.

And today it was exactly a week, this one died, but its size did not change, and no new rock worms were born when it died. In terms of hardness, it is not as good as the one that has received nourishment.

As for the one that received nourishment, on the third day, it was already as big as an adult rock worm, and when it died, it gave birth to new rock worms.

At this point, Zhizhen probably understood the nature and requirements of rock worms.

At the same time, he also put the rock worm and the light worm together to see if the two would mate and give birth to new worms.

But this point is really obvious, because the rock hardworm reproduces asexually, there is no gender difference, and therefore there is no reproductive organ.

It is impossible to mate or something.

As for the worm, this worm reproduces sexually and lays eggs. After mating, the females will shed eggs, about ten at a time, and they can grow up within a day.

The reproduction speed is faster than that of rock worms. The life cycle is also longer than that of rock worms, about fifteen days.

If you don’t mate, Zhizhen can also be cultivated with Chakra, using Aburame’s secret technique cocoon, which speeds up the egg laying and the growth of larvae.

But this is consuming the vitality of the insect. The original fifteen-day life cycle will be shortened by nearly half after stimulation with Chakra, but the effect is not compromised.

The Lightning Worm is indeed higher than the Rock Hard Worm in terms of level, and the Lightning Worm is also very powerful in terms of effect, but the only thing that is worse is that it is weak in attack power.

In addition to understanding the living conditions of the two insects, Zhizhen also made practical research on the two insects.

I found a very interesting phenomenon.

That is, the Lightning Worm has insufficient attack power, but it has a strong resistance to poison. No matter what kind of poison it is, the Lightning Worm will swallow it.

Zhizhen injected a small amount of poisonous gas into the worm’s vessel, and in less than five seconds, the purple poison was absorbed by the worm, and there was nothing wrong with it.

To the corrosive venom, as long as the body is not in contact with the venom, the phoenix can even drink the venom. The resistance to the poison can be said to be very outstanding.

In this way, Zhizhen was not afraid of being poisoned, because this insect could be regarded as a natural enemy of almost any poison.

However, its shortcomings are also obvious. The body is fragile and can be easily damaged with a cotton swab.

The rock worm has very poor resistance to poison. A small burst of poisonous gas can make the rock worm coma, and the corrosive venom can directly melt the rock worm.

But in this case, its resistance to physical attacks and ninjutsu is extremely strong.

The root of Anbu can hardly be burned to death with Fire Style. Generally, Kuwu can not touch it. Although Lightning Style can paralyze rock worms, it will not kill rock worms. Through Zhizhen Chakra treatment, he will recover very quickly.

Of course, the powerful Fire Style and Lightning Style will not be mentioned. The former can directly burn rock worms into ashes, while the latter can directly electrify them into a lump of carbon. Naturally, rock worms cannot hold them.

But it is normal that there are shortcomings. I won’t mention the Yuguang Worm for the time being. To understand the advantages and disadvantages of the Rockworm, Zhizhenxin also has a general direction for the use of the Rockworm.

When to use it and how to use it, I also have a considerable Master in my heart.

And after a week of research, Zhizhen also had a bold idea. He wondered whether using the fairy technique Chakra to cultivate these two kinds of insects would make them qualitatively change.

Zhizhen is very curious about this, and can’t wait to try it.

It’s a pity that he can’t get natural energy now, so he can only see if he can ask Jiraiya for help in the future, or let Naruto who learned Sage Mode do a research.

There are many Summoning beasts in Hokage, but there are three holy places to learn Sage Mode.

As for the three Summoning beasts, Zhizhen estimated that he would not be able to get them.

Toad of Mount Myōboku, Jiraiya will not teach him. Katsuyu of the Wet Bone Forest, Tsunade probably couldn’t teach him either.

As for the snakes in Ryūchi Cave, Orochimaru might be able to teach if Orochimaru is given a price tag enough.

But Orochimaru is a person, he is too crazy, and he is almost dying to do research.

Moreover, the snakes in Ryūchi Cave are not easy to get along with, and Zhizhen has always disliked snakes.

Therefore, this research record can only be temporarily shelved.

“How is your practice?” Director Sato’s voice rang as Shizhen observed.

“Huh?” Shizhen looked up and saw that it was Sato, so he quickly said, “It’s okay, what can I do, Director Sato?”

“That’s fine, but don’t let go of research.” This week, Sato thought about Shizhen’s words, and felt that Shizhen’s words were not unreasonable, and his attitude eased a lot.

Seeing that Sato is so gentle, Zhizhen couldn’t be surprised, but at the same time he felt more relaxed.

“Yes, Director Sato. I won’t leave it to study.” Shizhen promised.

“Well, what kind of bug is this?” Sato nodded, then looked at the rock worm in the container.

“This is a rock hard bug, and it’s my second kind of bug.” Zhizhen said truthfully, facing the old Sato, Zhizhen was more respectful, so he explained patiently.

“Oh, what’s the characteristic?” Sato asked with interest.

“Well, it’s very hard.”

“Hard?” Sato was puzzled.

“This insect lives on the ore in the soil, so its body surface is very hard.”

“That’s it, is there any effect on medical treatment?”

“This, I haven’t found it yet…”

Hearing this, Sato’s originally enthusiastic face suddenly stepped down and said, “Let’s change the study.” Then he left.

After not taking a few steps, he said without looking back: “The insects that cannot be used for medical treatment are not good insects.”

“…” Zhizhen has nothing to say.

“Oh, Director Sato didn’t scold you. Zhizhen is okay, your kid is finally sensible.” Yuan Ye quietly walked over and joked.

“Fortunately, I didn’t expect Director Sato to support my practice.” Zhizhen smiled.

“Then you have to work hard, you know, our medical department is not capable of fighting, and the only one with some strength is you. There must be something to protect us.” Yuan Ye said.

Zhizhen nodded heavily when he heard the words, “Definitely!”

Yuan Ye was taken aback, then he put his arms around Zhizhen’s shoulders hard, and said with a smile: “You guy has really changed, but that’s good!”

Zhizhen chuckled when he heard the words, and Yuan Ye smiled and said, “You continue to be busy, and I will continue to work. I will have dinner together later.”

“Okay!” Zhizhen responded, and then Yuan Ye left.

Looking at the busy figure in the field, the colleagues in the medical department, Zhi Zhenxin said that they must take good care of them in August.

Although they are all friends of original Shizhen, Zhizhen did not want to see any of them die.

“Go hard.” Zhizhen secretly cheered up and started to continue working.
