MTL - This Is My Primitive Tribe-v2 Chapter 279 terrible pest
In the virgin forest that covers the sky, even on a harsh summer day, only scattered sunlight can be cast.
The long-term drought has made the ground of the virgin forest no longer wet, and the animals have no mood to hunt at noon, only some bugs are tirelessly chirping.
Under the drought, many animals in the virgin forest will have a hard time, but there are some animals, but the drought will make it more active, such as... certain insects.
"Swish!"
In the forest, the hunting team was exploring in the direction of the Great Swamp, clearing obstacles for the following team. Suddenly, the soldier in charge of the path detection in front ran back quickly, and while running, he signaled the team to stop, and the expression on his face was a little panic.
"What happened?"
After the warrior ran back, Nepeta jumped off the back of a black wind rhinoceros and asked the warrior.
"Whoosh hooh... bugs... lots of bugs..."
The warrior, panting heavily, gestured to Nepeta with his hands out to the size of the worm.
Nepeta frowned and said with a displeased expression: "There are most insects in the forest, what's the fuss about?"
"No...not an ordinary bug..."
The soldier felt that he couldn't explain clearly, so he said again: "Boss, why don't you go ahead and take a look with me."
"Okay, I'd like to see what kind of worm is making you panic like this."
Nepeta turned over again and sat on the back of the black wind rhinoceros, while the warrior rode a fast-paced bird and ran to the forest ahead together.
Not long after, under the leadership of the warrior, Nepeta ran to the foot of a low mountain in front. "Swish..." Nepeta was just riding the Black Wind Rhino to approach the low mountain, when she heard a series of strange sounds.
This kind of sound Nepeta has been heard by the breeding team, and it is the sound of a large number of insects eating the stems and leaves of plants at the same time.
When he rode the black wind rhinoceros to climb up the low mountain for a while, he soon saw a very terrifying scene.
I saw countless bugs lying on the tree, frantically eating the leaves.
These insects are about the size of a fist, with a yellowish-brown body, a pair of wings on their backs, a pair of tentacles on their heads, a pair of large compound eyes, and sharp mouthparts.
It has six legs in its abdomen, and two pairs of forelimbs are short and flexible, with barbs at the end, which can firmly grasp the stems and leaves of plants.
"This is... a grasshopper?"
Nepeta looked at the bugs in disbelief, and was a little unsure for a while.
Plants and insects in this world are relatively large, so fist-sized grasshoppers are nothing, even bigger nepeta.
But the number of these bugs is too large, and they look extremely ferocious. A swarm of bugs flies to a large tree and can eat all the leaves in a blink of an eye.
As the leader of the Vine tribe's hunting team over the years, Nepeta must be considered to be well-informed, and he has seen a lot of various insects.
In front of these insects that looked like grasshoppers, but were more ferocious than grasshoppers, he had a tingling fear in his scalp after seeing them.
The first is the number. The number of these insects is too large. Any tree is covered with insects, and the number is too large to count.
The second is the speed at which they eat. These insects eat leaves very fast, and they don't pick them at all. They don't care about old leaves and young leaves.
The branches of all the trees they gnawed are bare, and there is not a single leaf left, which is extremely terrifying.
Nepeta looked at the terrifying insects all over the mountains and plains, listened to the intensive sound of their gnawing, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and the whole person fell into a temporary state of sluggishness.
"Huh..." A gust of wind blew, and Jing Ji was shocked and woke up.
At this time, there is a group of insects in front of them. After eating the leaves of one big tree, they immediately fly to the next big tree and continue to eat.
Jing Ji looked at it for a while and felt a little flustered, but she was very unwilling to go back like this. "Go to the top of the mountain to have a look."
Nepeta urged the black wind rhino to move forward, and the warrior rode the bird closely following him.
The low mountain is not steep, the **** is relatively gentle, and they can easily climb to the top of the mountain along the slope.
When Nepeta stood on a large rock at the top of the mountain and looked into the distance, he was shocked again.
It was obviously a lush summer, but the forests on the top of the hills in front were not even green, leaving only bare branches and leaves.
"Don't... don't move on, go back to the tribe..."
Nepeta was obviously a little flustered, but forcibly remained calm and made a decision.
The terrifyingness of this kind of worm is far beyond imagination, and it must be reported to Jiang Xuan immediately, otherwise, once these worms fly to the Vine tribe, it will cause a devastating blow to all the crops.
"dong dong dong..."
Nepeta turned around and ran back on the black wind rhinoceros, and the warrior on the bird quickly followed.
After returning to the location of the members of the hunting team, Nepeta briefly explained the situation to them, and then left a small number of people to monitor the movement of the insects, and he himself returned to the tribe with the others.
Two days later, the hunting team returned to the Teng tribe, Jing Ji found Jiang Xuan and reported to him the insect plague they encountered this time.
"Insects like grasshoppers? Eating up forests?"
After Jiang Xuan heard the description of Nepeta, his heart suddenly "squeaked", because he thought of a very headache and destructive pest: locusts!
Locusts are a very terrifying pest, they reproduce powerfully, grow fast, and have wings to fly.
Once it appears on a large scale, it will often cause a fatal blow to the green plants in a large area.
Among them, the most serious losses are undoubtedly all kinds of crops.
It is very difficult for a large planter like the Teng tribe to deal with the long-term drought. If the locust plague is added, Jiang Xuan can hardly imagine the terrible consequences.
Jiang Xuan remembered that in the history of the world in the previous life, droughts and locust plagues often occurred at the same time, which brought a devastating blow to the local planting industry and led to large-scale famine. In this environment, it was difficult for ordinary people to survive.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan immediately asked, "Where are these bugs, and are they flying toward us?"
Nepeta replied: "These insects are still eating leaves in the forest near the big swamp. When I came back, they were still eating plants on a low mountain. It is not clear whether they will fly to us or not."
Jiang Xuan thought for a while, this kind of thing can't be gambled on, and you have to see it with your own eyes to feel at ease. "Let's ride over the dumplings to have a look." "Yes!"
Jiang Xuan immediately brought the weapons and some necessary items to go out, and then used the bone whistle to recall the dumplings, and rode the dumplings to the place where the hunting team found those bugs.
"Yeah..."
The huge dumpling chirped excitedly, then circled into the sky, and flew towards the Great Swamp with Jiang Xuan and Nepeta.
