Chapter 14: Sowing the Seeds of Life

Big-headed harvesters have a certain ability to remember, think, and discriminate, and they remember the appearance of the spotted cloth and the place where the spotted cloth lived.

The act of robbing the seeds immediately aroused the excitement of the crowd, and a large number of soldiers set off from the ant ridge and rushed to the chamber of Banbu.

"Stingy guy."

"I picked yesterday's fruit for you."

Banbu stood at the entrance of the cave, shaking his tentacles to release threatening pheromones, and under the unique aura of the Force creatures, the big head harvester ant ant soldiers who came to make trouble suddenly hesitated and did not dare to step forward.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and the ant colony Mingjin withdrew its troops.

"If you only hold grudges and don't care about kindness, you can't be considered a wise life, and even lower wisdom can't be counted."

Banbu shook his tentacles helplessly.

Of course, he couldn't afford to deal with these little creatures who were only one-tenth the length of himself.

After getting along for a long time, I still appreciate the survival wisdom of ants: busy and industrious day and night; The old people are responsible for dangerous reconnaissance and sentry work, and die; There is no commander, but they can cooperate perfectly, complete tedious work through division of labor, and unite ......

They possess a variety of qualities that are admired by human society.

……

Survival in the jungle is not easy.

The ripe grass seeds of the grass fields attract a flock of birds, the real robbers, who unscrupulously plunder the fruits of the hard work of the big-headed harvesters, and let out a chirp of ridicule.

There is only one of the few small snakes that roamed the grass fields, and it is more than 200 in length, and it has a mouthful, sneaks and lurks in the grass, and successfully captures a bird.

Similar predation and predation occur all the time in the jungle.

The birds came and went quickly, and the Xuncao fields that could not be harvested in time were ruined by them, leaving only a small number of seeds scattered on the ground.

The big-headed harvesting ants are still so hard-working, carefully searching, collecting grass seeds one by one, drying them for storage. At the same time, more big-headed ants joined the weeding team, biting off the blades of grass with their jaws and cutting them into small pieces.

After a heavy rain, the grass blades slowly decay and deposit, becoming organic fertilizers for Xun grass fields, maintaining the fertility of the fields in this primitive way.

Zebu, silently paying attention to everything in front of him, observed an incredible phenomenon: the grass that had been almost cut off against the ground had re-emerged green shoots after the rainstorm.

Banbu thought of a possibility: Xun grass can be harvested twice a year!

The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was possible, under the management of the big harvesting ants, the seeds were sown in early spring, the first season was harvested in midsummer, and the second season was harvested in late autumn.

"Xuncao's vitality is also very tenacious! If you cut off a stubble, you can still grow new shoots. Banbu first thought of another question: "If the life seed I bred with Xuncao seeds can survive the winter, will I be able to live forever?" ”

Spring, summer, autumn, winter, and short lifespan are the Achilles' heel of herbaceous plants, so in the inheritance memory, it is not recommended to use grass seeds to breed life seeds.

Banbu then observed for a whole day and found that the young shoots of Xuncao were not afraid of the scorching sun at all, on the contrary, under sufficient light, they grew rapidly.

After careful consideration, it was concluded that Xuncao is not afraid of heat, and the mature roots of the buried soil can provide enough water for the shoots to grow well.

In that case, you can consider sowing your first life!

And it is necessary to sow the seeds.

At the time of Zebra L1, the carapace's absorption rate of cosmic force was more than enough to maintain growth, but now at L2, the cosmic force required for growth has increased, but the carapace's absorption rate has not increased. According to this trend, it can be predicted that after L4, the rate at which the carapace absorbs the cosmic force will not be able to keep up with the demand, delaying growth.

There are two ways to do this, the best is to eat the Force fruit, which not only gives you the Force, but also strengthens your genetic abilities. Under normal circumstances, there are tribal elders to take care of them, and junior warriors are all through the weak period in this way.

However, Banbu's situation was not normal, the clan elders hung up, and the vast jungle did not know where to find other elders for help, so they could only rely on themselves. Then there is only one way, sow the life seed as soon as possible, and with the help of the life seed, absorb the force needed for growth.

A thunderstorm cemented Zebu's thoughts.

The species is placed under a luan tree closest to the chamber, on the east side facing the sun.

The location is exquisite, in the morning, the slanting sun can shine; The scorching midday sun is obscured by the dense foliage of the luan; In the afternoon, the sunset will shine again.

Two days after sowing, the fresh sprouts broke through the soil, and the two time established a very faint wonderful feeling of "interconnected, life connected".

Zebrabu brought rocks and set up a fence around the seedlings to guard them around the clock to guard against being eaten by herbivorous insects such as the swordhorn locust.

Luckily, there was another rainstorm, and with plenty of rain, the shoots developed smoothly into three leaves.

According to the pattern of summer precipitation in the jungle, there will be a "dry period" of several days, and the moisture of the shallow soil will be quickly dried by the scorching sun.

Zebra prepares in advance, finds a hollow plant branch, and collects dew from the leaves in the early hours of the morning to water it to maintain the moisture of the soil near the plant.

As expected, the Destiny Seed has maintained vigorous growth, increasing its height by 5 almost every day, and growing faster and faster, successfully passing the most vulnerable stage. As the grass grows, the wonderful feeling of "being connected and connecting lives" becomes clearer little by little.

After a thunderstorm, Zebub carefully excavates it and transplants it to the hole in the chamber.

In the soil at the entrance of the cave, Banbu specially found some bird and animal feces to participate in it to improve fertility.

The transplantation was also successful, and the plants grew more rapidly, faster than those with mature roots.

The leaves are slightly different from ordinary Xuncao, and the leaf veins and meridians are purple-black, thicker and tougher. Part of the force absorbed by the plant is used for its own growth, and the unused part is stored in the veins of the leaves.

Natal seeds share a trait with naturally born Force plants: when the Force reserves in the leaf veins are saturated, they emit a hazy dark purple halo at night, which is the way they release excess Force.

It is very dangerous, all kinds of phototaxis flying insects are attracted to it, followed by small nocturnal predators, and then, it is likely to provoke large predators, and in the middle of the fight, the fragile and small plants are likely to say that one is accidentally killed in the fish pond.

After a closer look, Banbu speculated that the probability of the birth of a Force plant in nature was not as low as imagined, and that it was only due to this characteristic that it died young.

The nature of the Force plants glowing at night is also plausible, and the corpses of dead animals will be good nourishment for growth when they decompose.

Banbu doesn't use the Force of the Seed yet, but this problem is easy to solve. Every evening, it begins to shake its tentacles, constantly releasing pheromones that represent anger, and the breath of the Force creatures lingers, which can be a good deterrent and expel all kinds of flying insects.

Flying insects did not dare to approach, and the follow-up troubles were naturally curbed from the root.
