102 Locusts [Gratitude is a lonely thousand rewards!]
"Look, that's the fruit of life, the birthplace of our elves. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Adele said proudly, pointing to a large fruit on a branch of the Mother Tree of Life.
But there are only a few on the whole mother tree of life, and the other fruits are still small. "This is the fruit that is about to ripen now. Adele said in a low voice.
"Dear Princess Adele!"
"Dear Princess Adele!"
......
The elves who were catching insects on the Mother Tree of Life saluted and shouted, Lin Weiming could see here, many elves stopped their movements and saluted Ander, they all looked handsome.
The male elves, wearing bark and straw shoes, carrying a bow and arrow behind them, should be archers, all of them are very handsome, and the female elves wear all kinds of jewelry, and the clothes on their bodies are also more exquisite, Lin Weiming noticed that they all have a magic stick, they should be magicians, and they are all very beautiful.
"Uncle Kaye, catch a pest for me, I want to live. Adele said to one of the elves closest to him.
"All right, Princess Adele!" the male elf was stunned for a moment, a little confused, but he grabbed one and jumped down from the branch and handed it to Adele.
According to normal reasoning, men should be relatively tall, this male elf named Ka Ye, wearing armor made of tree bark, wooden shoes on his feet, and carrying a huge bow and arrow behind his back, but his height is only 1.5 meters.
"Adele, how old are you?" asked Lin Weiming curiously.
"I'm one hundred and eighty years old, and I'm going to be an adult in twenty years, what's wrong?" said Adele, taking the pest.
"You're not an adult yet, but how do I feel that the other elves aren't as tall as you?" Lin Weiming said.
"Oh, that's what you're talking about, I'm born on the main branch of the Mother Tree of Life, I'm the princess of the elven clan, I'm 1.6 meters tall, and Uncle Kaye was born on the outer branch, he's the captain of the guard...... They're all about 1.5 meters tall and won't be taller than me. Adele explained in detail.
It turns out that this is the case, the birth of the elf clan determines the identity, for example, Adele was born on the main branch, the status is a princess, and she is the future elf empress, and Kaye was born on the outermost branch, then he is responsible for the guard work of the entire elf clan, and there are other branch elves responsible for hunting, planting, etc., with a clear division of labor.
"Don't talk about this, do you know this pest?" An Dai'er also felt that she was talking too much, so she grabbed the pest and showed it to Lin Weiming.
Lin Weiming saw that this was not a locust! That is what the rural people call a grasshopper, and he saw it struggling to get out of An Dai'er's hand.
"Adele, this insect is called a locust, and it eats the leaves, young stems, flower buds, and young fruits of plants, which my plane can handle. Lin Weiming said.
"Really, that's great!" said Adele in surprise, the sadness on her face turned into a smile, and she asked eagerly, "Then what do you do with it, there are so many of them, it's useless to expel magic, and the newborn branches and leaves of the Mother Tree of Life have been eaten by it, it's really annoying." ”
"We're spraying pesticides and using it to kill them. "But this is the elven plane, and I don't know if the pesticide has any effect, Lin Weiming said with some hesitation.
"Is it poison? does that have an effect on the Mother Tree of Life?" Adele frowned again, she hadn't thought about the potion but it would have an effect on the Mother Tree of Life.
Yes, if you choose chemical pesticides to control locusts, although this can quickly kill locusts and avoid the mother tree of life from being invaded, but it also kills a large number of locust natural enemies, and causes serious pesticide pollution to the environment, elves are nature-loving, and will not use pesticides to fight, this is too risky, if not handled properly, maybe it is also harmful to the elves' body, what should I do?
Lin Weiming's brain is running fast, trying to find a way to deal with it, by the way, natural enemies !! use biological control methods, locusts are afraid of chickens and ducks, and frogs can also, even ants can pounce on locusts.
"Adele, with biological control, this locust has natural enemies, are they flying in a large area!" Lin Weiming suddenly thought of biological control methods and said.
"Yes, they are all flying in pieces, a lot, you see!" said Adele with a loud "boom", and the locusts flew up in the sky, densely packed, and anyone with dense phobia would probably be frightened.
When the locusts flew up, they saw that there was nothing to endanger them, and they landed on the branches and leaves of the Mother Tree of Life, and continued to eat heartily.
"Yes, you can dig a pond next to it, frogs, chickens and ducks can eat it, you can also gather birds, they also eat, locusts have many natural predators......" Lin Weiming told her the general method one by one.
"Birds?" Andel's eyes lit up, and she took out a jade flute from her bosom and played it, and the flute sound was melodious and cheerful.
"Who are you?" Lin Weiming asked curiously seeing Adele's move.
Adele didn't answer and continued to play, she looked at the sky, and a magical scene happened, a blue bird flew over, it was very fast.
Seeing that the blue bird was coming, Adele put down the flute and stretched out her right hand, and the blue bird obediently stopped on her hand.
"Chirp...," the blue bird rubbed her head, as if to say something.
"Blue bird, do you like this?" said Adele as she handed the locust, and the blue bird flapped its wings a few times, and its song became louder.
It opened its red beak and ate the locust in one bite, and cried out in a cheerful voice.
"Really, do you like to have your people come too? The Mother Tree of Life needs you!" said Adele with bright eyes.
"Chirp!" the bluebird shook twice, spread its wings and flew into the distance.
In the middle of the day, dense birds flew from a distance, but they lined up behind the bluebirds in an orderly manner.
"Chirp... "The blue bird stood on Adele's shoulder and said something to the birds.
Soon the birds swarmed towards the Mother Tree of Life, and for a time the cheerful bird calls spread throughout the elf tribe.
"After review, the method of the great Ming is effective, knowledge changes fate, and the system judges VIP1 experience to be 12%. Xiaobai's playful prompt sounded.
The audit terminology of this trading network has changed, it seems that the trading network is not only for trading goods, but also for knowledge! Lin Weiming couldn't help but sigh.
"Great Ming, thank you for your help, and may the great elven goddess bless you!" said Adele with a special elven salute.
"Princess Adele, I just checked, we have a locust microsporidia here, after the locust feeds on the food with the microsporidia, after a period of time, the locust is slow to move, unable to fly, and the number of eggs is reduced, until it dies, if the locust can't be solved, next time I will find the microsporidia for you." Lin Weiming told her the information he found on the Internet.
"Okay, I'll get back to you if needed. Adele added Lin Weiming's friend and said.
"Okay, I'll go down first, goodbye. Lin Weiming turned off the video chat.
How did the locusts get to the elven plane? Lin Weiming was puzzled, forget it, the matter has been settled, they may have flown over from human territory, I'd better take a look at what I got first!
