Information flashed through my mind.
Despite the question mark.
However, it can be determined that the liquid is honeydew.
He took out his Rotom phone and specifically looked up some information. It turns out that honeydew is a sweet liquid that some insects (such as aphids, scale insects, and leafhoppers) excrete from their anus after piercing the buds, tender branches, young leaves, and flowers of certain plants with their piercing-sucking mouthparts and sucking their sap.
In addition, the sweet sap secreted by the extrafloral nectaries of plants also falls into the category of honeydew, and its composition is roughly the same as that of nectar.
Some plants secrete large amounts of honeydew from their branches and leaves. This type of honeydew contains more sugar than nectar, is high in water content, and has a dark color. It has almost no fragrance or a very faint fragrance and is usually not collected by bees.
It evolved into an insect dragon, and the honeydew it secreted was of the first type. It contained sugar and had a pleasant fragrance. Although it was not as rich as the finest honey, it was still very tempting.
What's it called?
Kira asked the right question.
It evolved into a bug dragon.
We can't keep calling it "Apple-wrapped Dragon," can we?
It's impossible to distinguish them this way.
"Wait a moment!"
Bai Hong initiated the identification process again.
This time, we'll identify the original body.
[Applefrog: Evolved from the fruit-eating beetle, it has the attributes of both insect and dragon. It looks similar to the applefrog, but with longer horns on its head. Its cheek pouches store a weakly acidic liquid that can be converted into nectar, and its tail has glands that can secrete spherical honeydew.]
"Its name is Appleworm Dragon!"
"Ah~"
Jirachi was stunned.
It sounds like nothing has changed.
Bai Hong typed the three characters "Apple Dragon" on his phone screen, and then typed "Apple Wrap Dragon" for a more intuitive comparison.
The pronunciations of "苹蜾龙" and "苹裹龙" are the same.
But they are not the same character.
The character 蜾 is not commonly used.
The radical for "insect" implies that it is a dragon-insect.
"There's no difference."
Kirachi pursed his lips.
Anyway, it makes no difference when you shout it.
"Uh~"
Bai Hong had no rebuttal.
There is indeed no difference when you shout it.
蜾～
The wasp fluttered about.
She suddenly moved close to him.
The spherical honeydew covering her lower body seemed a bit heavy, so to avoid wasting it, she launched it into Bai Hong's hand.
Using the word "launch" is inappropriate, but a better verb can't be found right now. Bai Hong held the spherical honeydew, brought it to his lips, and gently sipped it. It was just the right amount of sweetness, with a delicate fragrance.
After swallowing.
I never expected my breath would smell so good.
“Try it too!”
Bai Hong handed it to Jirachi.
The amazing thing is that this thing doesn't break. Even if you suck on it hard, it will still be perfectly round, at most it will shrink a little, until all the honey inside is sucked out.
"A faint taste~"
Jirachi took a small sip.
It doesn't feel satisfying.
Then he took two sips.
The spherical honeydew droplets get smaller and smaller, and even when they shrink to the size of a mung bean, they remain perfectly round and do not break.
Through observation, Bai Hong discovered that the sugar coating covering the honeydew has extremely high elasticity, which can isolate it from the outside air and greatly improve the freshness of the honeydew.
Bick~
I want to try it too.
Bictini swallowed hard.
The remaining small ball of honeydew is even smaller than a candy bean. If you put it in your mouth and slowly bite it open, you can't taste any flavor at all.
Seeing this, the katydid secreted a ball of honeydew from the tip of its tail and delivered it to Bictini's hand with a practiced ease, as if it were firing a cannonball.
Bini~
Bictini took a big sip.
I feel both satisfied and happy.
It particularly likes this level of sweetness.
Compared to premium honey, it's less viscous and has just the right amount of sweetness, like drinking floral nectar, but with a better texture.
Jiejiejie~
I want to try it too.
Gengar's saliva dripped down.
He chuckled.
He kept licking his lips with his tongue.
蜾～
Don't stare at me!
The apple dragon was a little scared.
I feel like I'm about to be eaten.
It had just secreted two globs of honeydew, and although its body wasn't completely drained yet, it urgently needed to replenish its energy.
"Let the Apple Dragon rest for a bit." Bai Hong thoughtfully handed over some tree fruit, as the best way to replenish energy was to gnaw on tree fruit.
蜾～
The apple dragon accepted the fruit.
They started munching away.
Don't let its small size fool you.
But they have a very large appetite.
It actually managed to destroy five tree fruits.
呲~
It only took five minutes.
It secreted another clump of honeydew.
no doubt.
This is for Gengar.
Hey~
Gengar swallowed it whole.
Put the honeydew in your mouth.
Then bite through the sugar coating.
That moment truly relieved my stress.
The atmosphere was just right. The other four fruit-eating worms remained motionless, huddled inside the sour apple. Only by accumulating enough energy could their bodies undergo a metamorphosis; otherwise, it would be difficult to trigger the opportunity for evolution.
Currently, only one fruit-eating worm has retained its original insect-dragon attributes and has successfully evolved into an apple-dragon.
"From now on, you will be called Gu Bao." Bai Hong was too casual; after a little thought, he came up with such a simple nickname.
蜾～
It nodded in response.
She was as well-behaved as a child.
裹～
congratulations!
Guoguo hopped over.
Instead, they bumped heads.
蜾～
The baby was very happy.
It spun around in the air.
However, it did not forget the other four fruit-eating worms. After celebrating, it landed on the ground and secreted four small globs of honeydew from the tip of its tail, hoping to help them overcome the difficulties in this way.
The other four fruit-eating insects poked their heads out, sniffed, and then sucked up the honeydew. They had earned their leadership position through their own strength, and the fact that they hadn't evolved yet meant that their transformation wasn't going smoothly.
They drink honeydew.
