Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Green Thief Walks at Night
While everyone was immersed in the "green thief" and "night vision", Shao Xuan carefully observed the trap he set yesterday.
In fact, there are a lot of gums on that tree, but there are not many that meet the stickiness of traps, Shao Xuan found that the stickiness of the gums flowing out of different places on the same tree is also different, and only a little viscous glue is obtained by cutting the bark, and only two nooses are made around the lasso.
The ground was shoveled off a layer of moss and grass when everyone cleaned up the insects yesterday, so the area around the big tree where they rested was very "clean", and there was a bit of the smell of smoked insects yesterday, and many animals would avoid it.
It's just that now, Shao Xuan found that there were traces of gum in some places on the ground, and the tree that he had cut yesterday had a lot of gum, but the viscosity was not good. There were traces of dragging on the edges of some of the gums next to the tree, apparently something had stepped on them.
The fighters of the hunting party were not touched, otherwise there would be obvious footprints.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan looked around and focused on a plant next to him, the tall tree was full of big flowers, and some pollen could be seen sprinkled when the wind blew.
"Big boss, I want to go over and pick a flower. Shao Xuan asked. This is what Ta said, you have to ask him for instructions on everything, and you are not allowed to act at will.
Ta looked at Shao Xuan and said, "Yes." ”
In the past, the tower would not allow Shao Xuan to pick flowers, this behavior seemed too boring to him, but now, he felt that Shao Xuan had probably discovered something.
Shao Xuan climbed to the tree, broke it, and failed to break the flower, so he could only cut it with a stone knife, and then held the flower holder and asked Tuo to help catch it below.
After cutting two flowers in succession, Shao Xuan got off the tree.
The person who caught the flower was stained with a lot of pollen from this big flower, but there was no way, there was too much pollen from this flower.
"Ah Xuan, what do you want this for?" Tuo asked.
"I want to see if there are any marks on the ground. Shao Xuan said.
"Traces?"
The people surrounding the green thief over there also looked at Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan held the flower holder, pointed the flower obliquely to the ground, shook his hand, and the orange-red pollen was sprinkled.
Everyone saw Shao Xuan holding flowers around the gum tree, shaking here and patting there, and after a while, a layer of orange pollen was sprinkled on the ground under his feet.
After sprinkling the pollen, Shao Xuan found a suitable leaf and fanned it vigorously.
A layer of pollen that was spilled on the ground was blown away, but some remained.
The paw prints made of orange-red pollen can be faintly seen, just like the "feet" of the green thief who is tied there.
Looking at the footprints on the ground, the tower looked up and said to the crowd, "Do it, especially where there is gum." ”
The tree that flowed gum was not the only one that Shao Xuan came into contact with, when the tower surveyed the surroundings yesterday, he saw several trees, and there were gums flowing to the ground around each tree, and the range was relatively wide.
As soon as the tower gave an order, the flowers that bloomed around here in the early morning were harmed by everyone, and they were picked off and shaken the pollen.
For a while, pollen and leaves flew in the forest.
Fortunately, there is no danger in this area.
In the middle of the night, the pollen shook and blew, but everyone fell silent.
On the ground, where there is gum, there are many footprints revealed, because in the forest, those "footprints" are not obvious, and even the outline of the three toes cannot be seen, but everyone knows that they are the same footprints as just now, and they are all facing the same direction.
There are a lot of dense, orange-red "footprints", not to mention places where there is no gum or where there are more fallen leaves and dense weeds that cannot be shown by pollen.
Obviously, last night, such a large night march passed under the tree where they were resting, and the night watchman did not hear their footsteps, except for the one trapped by Shao Xuan's trap.
Tower had been hunting in the advance party for so many years, but he had never seen such a nocturnal march made of plants.
The green thief walks silently at night.
The reason why the green thief is not listed on the animal skin scroll is because it is too difficult to find, and there may be great danger, the ancestors knew that it was difficult to hunt at night, and they had lost a lot of people for this, so in desperation, they still gave up this tempting goal, so on the animal skin scroll painted later, some plants such as the green thief were removed.
In the past hundred years, no advance team has ever seen the green thief, if it weren't for the fact that he often listened to his grandfather and some old soldiers with a high status in the tribe, he might not be able to connect this with the green thief, for him, the green thief has always been just a legend, and he has always envied the ancestors who have found the green thief.
It's just that I didn't think about it...... I didn't expect to be able to catch one today!!
Although he was caught by Shao Xuan's trap, although Ta also knew that his face was slapped, but when he saw the green thief, he also felt that it was worth it.
The tower's voice was harsh, "The green thief walks at night...... It's really a green thief!!"
"Boss, let's quickly untie the noose and put it away, for fear of being snatched away by something else. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll go to the tree hole and get the wooden box!"
"Is it okay to use a wooden box? Do you want to use a stone box?"
"Why don't you take them all?"
"How do you pretend to be one?"
"I don't know if the green thief can take it away, what if it withers and scatters just after leaving?" muttered.
"Shut up!!" the others said in unison.
"However, this set of ropes is also too tightly tied, Ah Xuan, how do you untie this set of ropes?" Tuo looked at Shao Xuan, who was standing not far away.
It's just that Shao Xuan didn't pay attention to them now, he now "saw" something, it was a little blurry, the surrounding sounds seemed to fade, and the surroundings were quiet.
One, two...... 10, 100......
Thousands, tens of thousands, possibly more.
Those turquoise figures, walking in groups in one direction. Compared to the green thief he caught, this group of walking green thieves has a "head", like an upside-down mop. The green thief stood up and was actually about the same height as Shao Xuan, like a thin bamboo pole, silently walking through the trees.
"Ah Xuan?"
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
The people over there were about to continue shouting, but they were stopped by the tower.
"Did he see anything?" said Asso.
What do you see?
There's nothing around but trees.
Could it be the apparition of the ancestors?
Thinking of this, everyone trembled in unison, but they didn't dare to shout loudly anymore.
"Hey, he's moving!" whispered.
Over there, Shao Xuan raised his feet and walked in the same direction as the green thief, but after walking a few steps, he looked at the trap again.
"Hey, he's seen it!!!" he said.
"Shut up!!" Tower whispered.
Shao Xuan originally watched the group of green thieves walk past him, and some passed directly through his body, as if he didn't exist. Shao Xuan unconsciously raised his feet to follow them and walked in the same direction, but the group of green thieves was too fast for him to keep up.
Shao Xuan felt as if he had been assimilated, but he quickly broke away from the deep feeling of assimilation, and looked towards the trap with a feeling.
Others thought that Shao Xuan was looking at them, but in fact, Shao Xuan was looking at the green thief who was tied up by the lasso.
After being tied up, the green thief found that he could not escape with his whole body, and the "head" was directly separated from the body. It is not dead, but like a gecko with a broken tail, it leaves a part of it behind, the main body escapes, and when the time comes, it grows into a complete individual again.
Looking away from the trap, Shao Xuan looked in the direction of the green thief's march.
He saw a green thief walking from the bottom to the top in a posture perpendicular to the trunk of the tree, with his "toes" attached to the trunk of the tree, as if walking on the ground.
When it was about fifteen meters above the ground, it stretched out its "hand" and stabbed into the trunk of the tree, and soon pulled it out again, and then, as before, walked down the tree and continued to walk with the army.
What's there?
Shao Xuan went over, looked at the tree, and climbed up.
The tower that had been staring at Shao Xuan signaled everyone to protect themselves to prevent any accidents. He wanted to rely on Shao Xuan to find something, but he also promised that the witch would bring people back safely.
Over there, Shao Xuan climbed to the place where the green thief thorned the tree, and saw a tiny hole, and a blue-green bean sprout-like thing stuck out of it and popped up.
Looking at the bean sprouts, Shao Xuan clamped it with his fingers and pulled it out. Don't look at this "bean sprouts" is not very big, you have to use some force to pull it out.
Seeing something of the same color as the green thief that Shao Xuan pulled out, Ta's eyes flashed, "The seedlings of the green thief?"
The green thief, with a green body, walks in the night, stealing the life of its tree for the reproduction of its own race.
It is rumored that the night march formed by the green thieves will only appear once a year.
