The time is close to the end of the year, under normal circumstances, it is already autumn, and the temperature should also drop, but the current fierce beast mountains and forests are still active, and there is no sign of autumn, on the contrary, the weather is hotter.

"It was the same at this time last year. The old man sat on the stone, looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, and sighed, "No, this year is hotter than last year." ”

The more and more unusual changes in the world make it impossible to feel at ease.

Fortunately, with last year's experience, they have calmed down a lot this year, and the meeting of the two branches split by the Yanjiao tribe this year can calm people's hearts and boost morale, and everyone can solve difficulties together.

After experiencing the unusually cold winter on the other side of the sea, and then experiencing the weather that seems to be about to enter summer, Zhengluo and the others are quite uncomfortable. But it's better to be warm than to freeze into ice, right?

Warm weather also has its disadvantages, those animals in the mountains and forests that should have begun to wilt down, one by one is extremely active, these flying insects are just one of the categories, hunters can clearly feel when they go into the mountains and forests to hunt, those beasts do not plan to spend the winter at all, quite spiritual. Poisonous snakes, insects, ants and the like are also a nuisance.

"What's going on over there?" the old lady Wu who paced over with a tense face, watched a team not far away hurriedly rush to the outside of the mountain forest.

"What's going on over there?" the old man, the witch general, was running and screaming to stop.

Hearing Wu call himself, he didn't care about it, and hurriedly ran over to explain, "Wu, I heard that there are a lot of insects flying to gnaw cabbage in the fields outside, and the leader is so angry that he asked us to go over and help." ”

"A lot of insects?" the two witches were shocked, their first thought was the heavenly veins planted in the mountains and forests, and they hurriedly ran to the field to look, for fear that the heavenly veins planted in the ground would also be infested by insects.

The good thing is that this side of the Heavenly Vein is planted. There is not a single flying insect at all, and even underground, it is rare to see a bug. These veins seem to be inherently insect proof. Of course, only to the Celestial Pulse that has not been broken.

Seeing this, the two witches felt a little calmer. Wave your hand and let you go to the field outside to help kill insects. There are a lot of things planted in the ground, some of them have not sprouted, some of them have sprouted, and the only ones who suffer the most are those Chinese cabbages.

"If it had been in previous years, those bugs would not have been so active. There was a sad look in the witch's eyes.

Excluding last year's situation, this time in the past, under normal circumstances. Many wintering insects and beasts in the mountains and forests are ready to spend the winter, and they will not fly around in groups, and the people of Yanjiao have never encountered such an insect plague since they came here. Perhaps because of the weather, all these insects that had no intention of spending the winter came out to move, as if it was another spring.

In addition, Yanjiao's farmland expanded outside the mountain forest, which also attracted a lot of flying insects.

Before, I only saw a small wave of flying insects occasionally, and the people guarding the farmland could still deal with it. But now that there are too many, they can't stand it. We can only rely on more fighters to help.

When Shao Xuan got there, the farmland was in chaos.

wielding knives, swords, sticks, and hammers, making noise and huddled together.

Those flying insects were more than twenty centimeters long, Shao Xuan patted one with a sword, pinched it and looked at it.

The body color is light green with a slight yellow tinge, and it has two large compound eyes. The prothorax is slightly broad, the abdomen is elongated, two pairs of almost transparent wings with criss-crossing reticulate veins, and five pairs of slender feet with pointed claws. The front pair of legs are in the form of a catch, and when they fly down on the leaves, these pairs of clawed feet can firmly grasp the leaves and keep them from falling.

This flying insect also has chewing mouthparts, and it will be very sharp when chewing leaves.

It was these flying insects that made the warriors in the tribe so anxious that they wanted to float on fire. They can deal with large fierce beasts, but when they encounter so many small flying insects, they can't be busy all of a sudden, and as soon as these flying insects fly high, it becomes more and more difficult for them to kill insects. Arrows are also not appropriate.

This kind of flying insect will not fly too high, but after all, the warriors can't fly, and even if they can jump higher, they will look embarrassed when killing insects. Sometimes there are too many insects, there are many people, and when the insects are killed, there are people who jump into the air and collide. The insect didn't kill it, but knocked its own people into a daze.

Some people think of pulling nets, but the area of the farmland is too large to take care of it at once, and it is impossible to cover all the land, and besides, the woven nets, unless the seams are made smaller, are useless to these flying insects, and they can squeeze through the cracks.

Finally, this wave of insect swarms was almost wiped out, and the busy people rested.

"Someone has made up a net, and I can cover another batch today, but if it's always like this, it's not a thing. Mai looked at the gnawed leaves and said angrily.

Shao Xuan also thought.

Farming must always let these crops see the sun, too densely woven net, can block some flying insects, but also block the sun, is not a safe way.

Spraying pesticides?

Not to mention that it has not been developed, and even if there is, no one can guarantee that people will be healthy after poisoning the bugs. The conditions are limited, and it is not possible to study the ratio more precisely.

"It's up to us. Sitting next to me, panting for breath, I was busy surviving, sweating, I never felt that killing insects was so hard, they had to kill those flying insects, and they had to pay attention not to step on the things planted in the ground, it was really hard.

On the contrary, some people took a wide wooden plank, but the effect was limited.

"You can make some little holes in the plank, and then you can make a handle out of the bottom of the plank, and that's easy to hold. Shao Xuan said.

The warrior with the plank's eyes lit up and thought that this method was feasible, so he immediately took out his tools and began to chisel the plank.

Some people are cleaning up the mess and picking up the insect corpses on the ground and putting them together, because the stupid birds they raise don't eat these insects, and the other breeding beasts are mostly vegetarians, so they make these insect corpses into fertilizer and fertilizer the land in the future. This also greatly relieved the people of the tribe. Little flying insects, you came, didn't you become fertilizer in the field in the end?

Shao Xuan looked at the surrounding ground, raised his feet and went back to the mountain forest, he was going to the casting room.

It's night.

Because the cabbage in the field is no longer a secret, the surrounding area is not too tightly guarded, and after experiencing the insect plague during the day, the soldiers guarding the farmland are a little tired.

A figure crept in with the night, like thin leaves blown by the wind, fluttering over the wooden fence around the cabbage field, and falling on the ground with an indiscernible sound.

After the black shadow landed, he listened carefully and made sure that it did not attract the attention of those guarding the farmland, and then it "floated" again, like a butterfly fluttering on a flower, landing on a cabbage, and leaving with a touch, only a short "snort" sound, like an inconspicuous insect chirping.

Still no one notices this.

Hiding in the shadow of a cabbage taller than a man, the man took a shaved cabbage leaf to his nose and sniffed it. This small piece of leaf was cut from the cabbage ball near the middle, and he had heard from the people in Yanjiao that the leaves on the middle cabbage ball were more crisp and tender, and the taste was better. He had been staring at it for a few days, and he had been trying to come over and taste the newly discovered dish in Yanjiao, and today he finally waited for the opportunity.

He likes to be a vegetarian and not a meat-eater. I put the small leaf in my mouth and tasted it, but I refused to taste it, and I thought it was quite good, crisp and fresh.

After lurking for so long, he finally found something satisfying.

The moonlight cast by the two moons in the sky was not bright, and from time to time there were clouds obscuring it, and the guards who glanced in did not notice that under a cabbage leaf much taller than a man in the ground, in a shadow darker than the night, there was a person.

After eating the shaved leaves, the man looked around, and when he jumped up, he quickly glanced around, even though it was dark, he could still see his surroundings clearly. He remembered that not far away, there was a bigger cabbage, much larger than the others around, and when he jumped up, he noticed it with a sweep of his eyes, and he decided to go for the largest cabbage.

I don't know how the people of Yanjiao will react tomorrow when they find that the largest one in the field is missing a cabbage ball in the middle? (To be continued.) )

PS: Merry Christmas everyone.
