Soon, the three of them got together.

"I observed the growth of some of those Mizusawa spirit peaches, and from the outside, there was nothing abnormal."

Yan Ping, who looked ordinary, said in a deep voice.

"It's true, I don't see the appearance of an insect infestation at all."

Lu Xuan nodded and agreed.

"Is there a protective formation outside the Zhang Jialing Plantation?"

Senior Sister Yao asked Zhang Yutang.

"This ...... Not very realistic. ”

The white-haired old man shook his head.

"There are hundreds of Mizusawa Spirit Peach planted in this swamp, covering an area of dozens of acres, and the low-grade protective formation is completely unable to cover such a large area of the Spirit Plantation."

"If you have a high-grade formation, with the Zhang family's financial resources and strength, you won't be able to get that level of formation."

"In addition, Mizusawa Lingtao grows in such a special environment, and the mire and the lake are connected everywhere, which is completely unable to prevent the invasion of all kinds of insects."

"Therefore, there are only some mechanism formations in the Spirit Plantation Garden to block the invasion of monks or water beasts, and on weekdays, there are also Zhang family monks patrolling."

"This is the protective measure of Mizusawa Spirit Peach."

Hearing the white-haired old man's words, Lu Xuan and the three of them nodded in understanding.

"Is there a ready-made alien insect in the Zhang family's hands that is still alive?"

Lu Xuan asked Zhang Yutang.

The old man called a middle-aged monk who was in the middle level of Qi cultivation behind him, asked a few words, and shook his head in denial.

"The insects that were found were all dealt with on the spot, and no one was left alive."

"If Lu Daoyou wants to catch a live alien insect, he can ask Cheng Ning to take you to try it in the Spirit Plantation Garden.

He often came to play in the Spirit Plantation, and he had a good idea of which area was most likely to have alien insects. ”

"Then it's troublesome."

Lu Xuan and Senior Sister Yao said a word, and then under the leadership of a handsome young man, they entered the depths of the peach forest.

"Senior Lu, are we going to catch a live insect now?"

On the way, Zhang Chengning's delicate face showed a curious look.

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with the Mizusawa Spirit Peach, it's best to catch a live insect and see if you can learn something."

Lu Xuan said to the young man in a gentle tone.

Of course, his main purpose is not to catch the insects, but to grasp the detailed state of the insects through breeding, so as to make a response.

"There's a good chance there's that weird bug hiding in this area."

Zhang Chengning, a handsome young man, took Lu Xuan into the depths of the peach forest, pointed ahead and said.

Hearing this, Lu Xuan nodded, and quietly walked to a Mizusawa spirit peach.

The leaves on the spirit peach swayed gently, as if the water was rippling.

His spiritual sense stretched slightly, searching carefully on the branches and leaves of the spirit peach.

For a long time, nothing happened.

Lu Xuan had no choice but to change his target, and his attention shifted to another Mizusawa spirit peach.

Suddenly, a piece of spiritual peach branch attacked Lu Xuan like a poisonous snake, and his spiritual power, which had been prepared, was running, and a wooden vine-like emerald spiritual power trapped the spiritual peach branch.

"It looks like this, no wonder it's almost unnoticeable."

The strange insect in front of him was constantly struggling, and from the outside, it was the same as the Mizusawa Spirit Peach Branch, and when it was attached to the Spirit Peach Tree, it seemed that the two were fused together, so it was extremely difficult to detect, and only when it tried to attack, could the strange insect form be clearly seen.

A red light flashed, fixing the body of the strange insect on the branch of the spirit peach.

"Which part of the spirit peach will these strange insects devour?"

Lu Xuan asked the handsome young man.

"Ah, I remember that the branches of the spirit peach tree where I found strange insects were hollow, so I should have devoured the spirit peach branches."

"Okay."

Lu Xuan cut off a small section of the Shuize Spirit Peach branch and placed it near the mouth of the strange insect.

Under the effect of the red thread needle, the strange insect has regained its calm after struggling for a while, and the patterns on its body have quietly changed.

"Senior Lu, what is the purpose of feeding this strange insect spirit peach branch?"

"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can we win all battles, and only by understanding the living habits and state of strange insects can we make the right way to deal with them."

Lu Xuan replied casually, staring intently at the small piece of spirit peach branch placed in front of the strange insect's mouth.

Soon, the spirit peach branches disappeared from his eyes little by little, and the strange insect figure was still very well hidden.

However, Lu Xuan no longer cared about its ability.

His mind was condensed on the strange insect, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

[Pseudo-streak, a different insect, low reproductive ability, insect eggs parasitize on the spirit plant, the hatched larvae feed on the branches and leaves of the spirit plant, and when they grow, they will slowly simulate the parasitic spirit plant form, which is extremely difficult to detect. 】

"When it grows, it will simulate the form of a parasitic spirit plant? It's kind of interesting. ”

Lu Xuan was amazed in his heart, and sighed at the strangeness of this mimetic insect.

"Parasitic on the Mizusawa spirit peach, when it grows up, it becomes the shape of the spirit peach branch, if it is parasitic on other spirit plants, it must grow into the shape of the corresponding spirit plant."

"Slowly becoming your shape in the true sense of the word."

Lu Xuan took the half-dead mimic worm and returned to the crowd under the leadership of the handsome young man.

Senior Sister Yao, Yan Ping, and the monks of the Zhang family gathered around and discussed something in a whisper.

On the damp ground, there are several mimetic insects, which at first glance look like a few branches of the water spirit peach.

"Senior Brother Lu, are you back? Did you find anything? ”

"I caught a strange worm, but I didn't find anything new."

Lu Xuan concealed the information he had learned and did not directly tell Senior Sister Yao and the others.

"We caught a few together, and it took a lot of work."

"These strange insects are really very hidden, so it is difficult to solve the root cause."

"The main problem now is to identify the species of strange insects, to know their details, so that we can easily find them or kill them."

The beautiful woman said calmly.

Lu Xuan and Yan Ping nodded in agreement.

"It seems that these strange insects can disguise themselves as spirit plants, and maybe they can find a breakthrough from here."

Lu Xuan suddenly said loudly.

Although he has mastered the species and survival methods of the striatine, he still has no way to deal with the striatine.

He was not in a hurry to inform Senior Sister Yao of the information about the mimetic insects, and the problem of such a large-scale insect infestation in the Zhang family did not seem to be as simple as it seemed.

"The reproduction ability of the striatine is low, and it stands to reason that it is difficult to gather a large number of eggs, and in this Mizusawa spirit peach area, it is obvious that there are a large number of striatine."

"So, are so many mimetic insects naturally occurring, or are they artificially created?"

Lu Xuan secretly thought on the side, as for solving the problem of insect pests, he had to start with the Mizusawa Spirit Peach that was parasitized by the mimesis worm.

"Look for an opportunity to dig up a parasitic spirit peach tree and see what the specific problem is and how to solve it."
