After staying in the Qinghu Department for two days, inspecting the terrain, environment, and specialties of the Qinghu Department, Li Qi and the others left.

Li Qi has regarded this whole piece of land as the breeding farm of the Huaxia Alliance, because the aquatic plants here are so abundant that it would be a waste not to farm them.

After two days of walking, the road gradually became muddy, which also indicated that they had come to the territory of the Pincer Division.

The nest of the pincer insect department is in a protruding bay area throughout the lake, where the terrain is relatively low, so the roads are relatively muddy.

"What are you thinking?"

Ling'er, who was riding on top of the deer beast, looked at the stunned Li Qi curiously.

"Spicy crayfish!"

Li Qi couldn't help but say, the corners of his mouth were already moist!

He really can't be blamed for this, because the entire Bay Area is densely packed with shrimp, dark red, and the body is only the size of a crayfish, but the pincers are like lobsters, which looks a little incongruous.

"What spicy crayfish?" The leader of the pincer department asked.

"Huh?"

Li Qi suddenly came to his senses, glanced at Ling'er again, pretended to be disgusted, and said, "Why are there so many insects here?" ”

Xi nodded and said, "At this time, there will be a lot of pincer worms here, and we don't dare to go down to fish." ”

Still fishing? You are really in the midst of blessings and do not know how to be blessed! I think the place where we used to live, if there was no artificial breeding, this thing would have been extinct! Li Qi was curious: "Why?" ”

Xi said: "This pincer insect is very powerful, if it is caught by its pincers, the fingers will be broken, we dare not approach them, we can only use stones to drive them, but they are too many, we can't drive them away." ”

"Can you snap your fingers?"

"Hmm. Its big tongs are very sharp. ”

"Sharp?"

Li Qi stepped forward and stared carefully at the shrimp claws, but saw that the shrimp claws were completely different from the ones he knew, as if there was a blade embedded in the big red tongs, and he turned around and said, "I thought you would eat them?" ”

Xi said: "Sometimes there is no food, we also catch a few to eat, but their shells are very hard, and it takes a lot of force to break them, but they are not delicious." ”

Ling'er frowned, but didn't say anything.

That's because you don't know how to eat, no, I can't show it now, lest I be talked about by this woman again, alas... I'm a chef with an animal protection society every day, and it's really hard for me! Li Qi finally took his eyes off the shrimp and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look in your cave." ”

Although the cave of the Pincer Insect Department is not as big as that of the Black Stone Valley, it is also very large, Fei saw this big hole, and her heart was slowly envious, and she didn't know if she thought that she could also live here in the future, after all, they already belonged to the Huaxia Alliance.

Not only that, the caves of the pincer insect department are all colorful, and the decoration is like, this is because the terrain here is relatively low, the air is relatively humid, so there are a lot of fungi, not only the hole, the trees, the ground, everywhere, are brightly colored, resulting in the whole pincer insect part of the old nest is colorful, here is relatively few fruits, so the people in the pincer insect department generally eat fungi.

There are so many wild mushrooms, you have to take some back to taste with the farmers, maybe there is a Ganoderma lucidum hidden in it or something, and it can also tonify the kidneys, alas... In fact, it's useless to make up for it now, and I can't find a place to use it. Li Qi looked back at the inlet, and said in his heart, this place is quite suitable for building a dock, and this pincer insect department is just in the middle of several tribes.

When he came to the cave, Li Qi met with the sisters of the Pincer Insect Department and communicated with them.

Although people in these years have some houses, and they are a little scared when they see the living, and they don't dare to speak, but Li Qi is an old driver after all, and this means of entrapping women is still available, and soon, the sisters of the pincer department are familiar with him.

Leaving the Pincer Tribe, Li Qi and the others rushed to the Deadwood Tribe.

The Deadwood Division is the only tribe of the Five that does not live near the lake, and they live in a relatively open area away from the lake.

According to Xuanji, they live here because there are many beasts here, which is why the Deadwood Department is the most powerful tribe among the five tribes, because they often fight beasts, and the warriors of the Deadwood Department are also the most fierce, and the person who was shot in the head by Li Qi is also the person from the Deadwood Department.

The Deadwood Department's lair was in a large cavern, larger than that of the Blackstone Valley, and the cave had several layers, enough to accommodate all the people of the Deadwood Department.

This area of water is basically hilly, there are no towering peaks like the Black Rock Valley, but the cave where the dead wood department lives is under a big mountain, although it is not as high as the peaks of the Black Rock Valley, but here you can still see the small mountains, and on the opposite side, there is a big mountain, although the mountain is not high, the slope is relatively gentle, but it is very large ......!

"Why is there so many dead trees on that mountain?"

Li Qi stood in front of the cave, looking at the mountain opposite, his face full of surprise.

I saw that the mountain was pitch black, and there was not a single grass in sight, but there were many withered trees, and there was only this kind of tree.

"That's not a dead tree." Ling'er said suddenly.

Li Qi was surprised: "That's not a dead tree?" ”

Ling'er said: "This kind of tree does not bloom and does not bear fruit, it is a ...... to reproduce from tree roots. ”

Li Qi frowned and said, "Tree root breeding? ”

He also knew that some plants reproduce by roots.

Ling'er nodded and said, "The roots of this kind of tree are extremely developed, and they will continue to spread to the periphery, and when they spread to a certain extent, they will automatically fall off, and then grow on their own, becoming a new tree, so it is generally difficult for other trees to grow in the place where this kind of tree grows." However, the foliage of this tree is very luxuriant ....... ”

Li Qi immediately smiled, pointed to the dead trees and said, "That's also luxuriant?" Am I blind? ”

Ling'er rolled his eyes slightly, and said: "That's because we came at the wrong time, the leaves of this kind of tree, from germination to withering and falling, only need twenty days, and then regenerate new leaves, and so on, you see that the black ones are actually all dead leaves." ”

"Dead leaves?" Li Qi looked startled.

He nodded several times and said, "Ling'er is right, Ling'er is right." ”

Li Qi suddenly remembered the black rope that lit the fire, so he said, "Let's go and take a look." ”

Came to the foot of the mountain, stared at it, it was really a piece of dry leaves, Li Qi picked up a leaf, from the shape, it should belong to a needle-shaped leaf, it looked very thick in his hand, Li Qi rubbed hard, there was a feeling of tobacco leaves, but after rubbing, there was a layer of black ash on the fingers, as if the leaf was burned.

Li Qi looked carefully, and then raised his eyes to look at a dead tree closest to them, the dead tree is not high, estimated to be about ten meters, but it is very thick, it takes at least three Li Qi to be able to hold a circle, the bark is very smooth, like a wood with peeled bark, orange, lumpy with ridges, and the branches are twisted, as if they are twisted by a hurricane, there is a sense of vicissitudes, and if you look closely, you can find that the branches are a little green, dense.

"How many do you usually use this leaf to preserve the fire?" Li Qi suddenly asked Ji Ji.

Xuan nodded slightly: "Although it is difficult to ignite this leaf, it is difficult to extinguish it after it is ignited." ”

This is actually one of the reasons why the Deadwood Department is strong, because other tribes need this kind of dead leaves to preserve the fire, and this kind of dead tree is only available in their Dead Wood Department, which is a request for people, and of course they have to give the Deadwood Department some face.

Li Qi nodded, and suddenly asked Ling'er again: "Ling'er, do you big tree tribe also use this kind of dead wood to preserve fire?" ”

Ling'er shook her head and said, "Our tribe never makes fires. ”

Li Qi was surprised: "Why? ”

Ling'er said: "Why do you want to make a fire, we don't eat meat." ”

Li Qi said: "Don't you make a fire in cold weather?" ”

Ling'er shook her head and said, "We've always been warm there." ”

"That's ......!"

He wanted to talk about driving away the beasts, but then realized how idiotic the question was.

Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled.

Li Qi coughed lightly and said, "Then you also have this kind of tree there?" ”

Ling'er said: "No! But I've seen it in other places, don't you New Oriental have this kind of tree? ”

"Nope."

Li Qi shook his head, and suddenly bent down and grabbed a handful of dead leaves, "Go back." ”

When he came to the cave, Li Qi immediately lit a fire, and then placed a black dead leaf on the fire.

Ling'er was curious: "What do you want to do here?" ”

Li Qi said: "I'm looking to see if this dead leaf is really so magical." ”

Ling'er nodded and didn't say anything more.

After a while, I saw the dead leaves emitting a shiny white light, and after a while, the bright light of the leaves gradually receded, leaving a layer of white ash.

Richie covers his face with one hand, baby! What a treasure!

Ling'er slanted her pretty face slightly and looked at Li Qi, "What are you doing?" ”

"No... It's nothing! Li Qi raised his head, but he couldn't hide his joy, and said: "I'm happy today, I'll make a dish for you to eat later, don't worry, it's not meat, or use some fruits and green leaves." ”

Ling'er shook her head.

Li Qi said: "What do you mean?" ”

Ling'er smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, but I only like to eat the fruit picked from the tree." ”

When Li Qi heard this, he immediately felt that he was a chef with folded wings, falling from heaven.

This appearance attacks his heart, and his cooking skills attack his stomach.

It's really invincible.

In terms of appearance, although Li Qi is very confident, he also has to admit that Ling'er's beauty has reached the point where he can ignore all appearances.

Nowadays, even cooking doesn't play any role.

It's a two-winged split!

What a sad word!
