Chapter 345: The Battle of Food

Xu Mo tried to sense it, but he didn't sense what was blooming, but the old peach tree gave him an instinctive consciousness in return, it needed some nutrients and sprayed on the leaves.

Xu Mo did as the old peach tree intended, prepared some fertilizer and tried to sprinkle some on a leaf. There is a limit to the fertilizer needs of old peach trees, not too much, not too little. Once this limit is exceeded, it will cause some undesirable effects.

These adverse effects are extremely small, and of course others can't see them, but Xu Mo's sixth sense specializes in sensing all small factors that ordinary people can't detect.

Any undesirable effects will cause some damage to the old peach tree itself, more or less. These damages are unacceptable. He cultivated this old peach tree just to see what kind of results would be under the most perfect external conditions.

He sprayed some fertilizer on the foliage, and the foliage of the old peach tree immediately gave him a realization: the concentration of fertilizer was too great.

Xu Mo began to adjust the concentration of the fertilizer, and did it several times before adjusting the concentration of the fertilizer to the optimum. Sprayed on the foliage again, and the foliar gave him a consciousness that there was too much fertilizer.

Xu Mo controlled the amount of fertilizer sprinkled on the foliage to a certain acceptable level, and this alone took him several days.

And as soon as the latter is done, the previous demand unfolds. Let Xu Mo be so busy that he can't wrestle at all, and he can't get out of his body to do other things.

He spends almost all of his time every day on this old peach tree, busy from morning to night. Busy from night to morning.

Fortunately, he has lived in the hollow valley for more than two years, cleansed his soul, and is full of patience. If you change the person, you may not be able to stick to it.

But when the leaves were rubbed with fertilizer, some of the branches withered and fell to the ground.

The roots of the old peach tree began to grow wildly, deeply rooted in the soil. Xu Mo watered it every day and fertilized it according to the needs of the old peach tree. Every time the growth of the root system is hindered, something like a stone appears underneath, and it is always cleaned up in time.

Same as any other factor. The impact of the impediment to root growth is not too great. If Xu Mo didn't clean it up in time, the root system of the old peach tree would change direction and continue to grow.

But any subtle impact will affect the final result. It's just that the result is more or less large. Countless small results add up. The impact is huge.

There is a lot of time to clean up, apply fertilizer in time, and water in time. The root system of the old peach tree grows even faster, and it changes almost every day.

It's just that its growth seems to be focused on the root system, and most of the nutrients it absorbs are directly used by the root system. Very little is delivered to branches and leaves. As a result, the root system is getting stronger and stronger, but the branches and leaves barely grow.

Under the uninterrupted nutrient application, the hole in the tree is getting smaller and smaller day by day. However, the bud has always been a bud, and there is no intention of opening at all.

When the bud grows to a certain extent, it stops. Xu Mo sniffed from afar, and could barely smell any aroma.

Zhou Yanyan and Yu Qiuwen had already started school, and they rarely followed Xu Mo to this place again.

At the end of September, the leaves of the trees began to wither and begin to fall from the trees. On this day, the weather was overcast and it suddenly began to rain.

The rain continued throughout the day and stopped in the evening. Xu Mo's family has moved to the mountains to live. When Zhou Yu's second daughter came back from school, the first thing she did was to see the old peach tree.

In Xu Mo's yard, except for an area where the old peach tree was located, most of the place was grass. It had just rained at this time, and the area around the old peach tree was full of mud.

Zhou Yanyan and Yu Qiuwen didn't care at all, as soon as they put down their schoolbags, they ran over to look.

"Ah!" Zhou Yanyan exclaimed: "Uncle Xu, come and see, there are a lot of earthworms on the ground." ”

"yes. Yu Qiuwen also said: "Why are there so many earthworms?"

Xu Mo pulled over the car and went over to look. The four monkeys and Ping'an also surrounded him, staring at the ground and pointing at each other.

Sure enough, there were countless earthworms under the old peach tree, crawling all over the ground. It is only after the rain that the soil is too humid for the earthworms to breathe, so they come out of the ground.

The rest of the yard is grassy, but there is hardly a shadow of earthworms, and the earthworms underground are obviously concentrated in this part of the old peach tree.

Xu Mo stared at the earthworms on the ground for a moment, there were at least a thousand of them, or even more, and they were all of the very fat kind.

Xu Mo thought about it for a while, but he couldn't remember when there were so many earthworms in the soil under the old peach tree. But with so many earthworms gathered here, there must be something under the old peach tree that attracts them.

An earthworm crawled in the direction of Yu Qiuwen and almost climbed onto Yu Qiuwen's feet. Yu Qiuwen screamed in fright and hurriedly jumped away. These fat and big earthworms are really disgusting for a little girl.

"Wang!" Ping'an saw that Yu Qiuwen was frightened, barked, and walked in front of Yu Qiuwen, as if he wanted to protect her. He looked down and sniffed at the earthworm.

"Wang!" Ping'an cried out again, and there was joy in his cry, as if he had encountered something beautiful and attracted him. opened his mouth and took the earthworm in his mouth.

The earthworm hung on the dog's mouth, still writhing around.

When Ping An opened his mouth, he wanted to swallow the earthworm into his stomach.

Zhou Yanyan was anxious, and hurriedly scolded: "Peace, put it down, earthworms can't be eaten." ”

"Woo!" Ping'an heard Zhou Yanyan scolding, so he had to stop. Holding the earthworm in his mouth, he looked up at Zhou Yanyan, looking quite aggrieved. Still holding the earthworm in his mouth, but he didn't put it down, and his mouth made a slurred sound.

The earthworm was still writhing around its mouth.

"Put it down, put it down. Zhou Yanyan endured the nausea and slapped Ping'an's head a few times.

"Whew!" Ping An had no choice but to put the earthworm down. As soon as the earthworm hit the ground, it crawled into the distance.

"Wang!" Ping'an looked at the earthworm reluctantly and barked unwillingly. Then he turned his head to look at Zhou Yanyan, rubbed his body on her leg a few times, and wagged his tail at the same time, looking like he was desperately trying to please Lu.

"Go, and die in peace. The water was still rubbing against me, staining my pants. The water on Ping'an's body wet Zhou Yanyan's pants, and Zhou Yanyan scolded unhappily and wanted to kick.

"Wang!" Ping'an didn't dodge or dodge, but leaned in, stretching out his long tongue to lick Zhou Yanyan's shoes.

Zhou Yanyan hurriedly stopped in fright, and scolded: "Death is safe, you are not allowed to come near me." ”

Ping An stood aggrieved and did not dare to approach.

The earthworm continued to crawl on the ground. Then. Suddenly, a crow landed in the air. In front of Xu Mo and them, he took an earthworm in his mouth and flew away into the air.

The four monkeys squeaked, and Ping An barked at the crow.

After the crow picks up the earthworm and takes it into the air. But he didn't go far. Fell on a branch of an old peach tree. Place the earthworm on top of the branch and peck it to death with a few pecks. Then hang the earthworm on the branch. Staring sideways at the rest of the earthworms underground, he looked reluctant.

"Wang!" Pingan barked at the crow below.

"Squeak!" the monkeys chirped, chirping and jumping at the crows. It attracted the crow's gaze. But the crow only glanced at them, and when he saw that there was no threat, he immediately turned his head away and continued to stare at the earthworms underground.

"Squeak!" Fun squeaked, as if to communicate with the rest of the monkeys. Little Gollum ran out of the alley and quickly came over with four airball guns, one for each monkey.

The four monkeys raised their guns and aimed them at the crows in the trees.

Zhou Yanyan and Yu Qiuwen cheered, cheering for the four monkeys and watching them fight crows.

Xu Mo smiled, didn't stop, and stood aside to watch.

The crow waited for a moment, seemed to be sure that there was no threat, and then spread its wings and flew again, falling from the sky and swooping down on the other earthworm.

With a soft sound, Fun pulled the trigger. The crow screamed 'ah', and was hit by the bullet, and its wings flapped sharply a few times, almost falling from the air.

There was another soft sound, and Lele also pulled the trigger. The crow was just in the air, but the shot dodged. Yuan Yuan and Little Gollum felt that the crow in flight was not easy to aim, so they were not in a hurry to shoot.

The crow was attacked, and did not dare to fall for a while, staring at the earthworm on the ground, but was reluctant to fly away. After circling around the air a few times, he suddenly flew towards the earthworm hanging from the tree.

Ping An couldn't intervene, stared at the earthworms hanging on the tree for a while, and suddenly ran under the old peach tree and climbed up the tree. Few dogs can climb trees, but this is not enough to make peace after the mutation. The claws popped out, grabbed the bark, and climbed up the old peach tree.

But it hadn't come close to the branch where the earthworm was hanging. The crow spotted it, screamed 'ah', and suddenly flew towards the earthworm, desperately picking up the dead earthworm and lifting it up in the air.

Another gunshot rang out, and Yuanyuan saw the opportunity and fired a shot at the crow.

The shot also hit, and the crow almost fell. But I saw that it quickly flapped its wings a few times and flew away desperately.

"Squeak!" "Wow!" "Ping'an and the four monkeys barked at the crows that flew away. The figure of the crow quickly disappeared from the sky.

"Wang!" Ping'an came down from the tree and barked again, staring at another earthworm. Stretching out his paws, he aimed at the earthworm and pulled it, then lowered his head to sniff at the earthworm again.

"Peace!" Zhou Yanyan scolded again.

"Whew!" Ping'an had to raise his head, looked at Zhou Yanyan aggrievedly, and made a slurred voice.

When the four monkeys saw this, they were immediately interested. Squat down to look at the earthworms on the ground. Fun even picked up one and took a closer look.

"Fun! Yu Qiuwen hurriedly stopped.

"Squeak!" Fun was helpless, put the earthworm down, but was reluctant to leave, and the four monkeys circled around the earthworm.

Xu Mo was puzzled, his ears suddenly moved, and he heard the crow crying in the distance.

I turned my head to look, but I saw that the direction of the crow that had fled was black, and dozens or hundreds of crows flew over at the same time.

"Oh!" Xu Mo showed a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to pull Yu Qiuwen and Zhou Yanyan, "Wenwen, Yan Yan, let's stand back a little and see what they are going to do?"

Zhou Yu's second daughter hadn't noticed the flying crows yet, so she asked strangely, "Uncle Xu, what are you looking at?"

The four monkeys and Ping'an had already spotted the crows, as if they were facing a great enemy, and at the same time became vigilant. The king cobra Duoduo had been sheep in the backyard, and at this time he also noticed this scene and ran over to help.

The hornets did not come. A dozen woodpeckers are kept on the other side of the yard. Fly in to help too.

The woodpecker is near, and it comes quickly. When they arrived, the crows were still some way away.

The woodpeckers flew over the old peach tree and saw the earthworms on the ground first. It flew around the ground a few times, making a string of strange sounds.

Zhou Yanyan and Yu Qiuwen looked inexplicable, only Xu Mozhi said that it was surprise and joy. When the woodpecker saw this group of earthworms, he was as happy as Ping An and the crow saw it.

Xu Mo became more and more curious in his heart, this group of earthworms was born under the old peach tree, and they actually attracted Ping'an, woodpeckers, and crows to love them so much, and they couldn't wait to eat them. Could it be that something has changed?

Know the way. If it were just an ordinary earthworm, it would be difficult to cause such a reaction. Now it attracts a flock of crows, leading to a big battle between crows and dogs, monkeys, woodpeckers, and king cobras.

"I'll see what happens to these earthworms in a moment. ”

As for the battle between the pets and the crows at home. Xu Mo was not worried at all. Dozens, if not hundreds, of ordinary crows. It's impossible to beat these mutant pets of your own.

A dozen woodpeckers flew around the old peach tree, and then they rose in the air and chirped in the direction from which the crows had flown from.

The dozen or so woodpeckers were also spotted by the crows. Ahhh

"Wow!" "Squeak!" Pingan and the four monkeys were ready to fight, the king cobra's body stretched out, and the upper body of the man stood staring at the sky.

The crow flew over, getting closer and closer, and when it came closer, it stopped again. The black-pressed crows covered half of the sky, and they were not in a hurry to attack. There was a stalemate for a while, and the atmosphere became quite solemn.

"There are so many crows!" Zhou Yanyan only screamed out at this time, worried in his heart, and leaned towards Xu Mo's side.

Yu Qiuwen guessed: "It must have been attracted by the crow just now." ”

Zhou Yanyan said: "They are fighting for earthworms on the ground, what are they for?"

Yu Qiuwen shook her head and subconsciously looked at Xu Mo, "Uncle Xu, did you get it?" Zhou Yanyan also looked at Xu Mo.

The two girls obviously had the same thoughts, thinking that these earthworms, like other animals, had been transformed by Xu Mo and mutated, so that Ping'an, crows, and others wanted to eat them.

"It's not. Xu Mo shook his head.

Yu Qiuwen said: "They are about to fight." ”

"Alas!" Zhou Yanyan sighed, "The yard is going to be chaotic again." ”

Xu Mo didn't speak, staring at the scene. The purpose of the crow flying is obviously not to fight. When he was still more than ten meters away from the woodpecker array, he suddenly stopped, hovered in the air for a while, and scattered in all directions.

The woodpeckers had no choice but to separate to meet the enemy, and were forced to disperse, with a dozen woodpeckers each guarding a position.

The crow seems to be looking for an opportunity, and is not in a hurry to rush forward, only circling around the periphery.

The four monkeys were impatient, and Fun couldn't help it at first, and fired a shot at the crows. A crow was struck, flapped its wings a few times, and sank down.

The nearest woodpecker saw it, spread its wings, and quickly pounced on the crow. Sticking out his long beak, he pecked at the crow like lightning.

The crow let out a 'ah' cry and fell downward. The rest of the crows do not rescue their companions. Seeing that the woodpecker pounced on the crow that had been shot, a gap appeared in the defensive circle, and immediately more than a dozen crows rushed down desperately, each opening their mouths to aim at an earthworm.

Earthworms move slowly and are unaware of the danger. In this case, once the crow falls, it will be able to pick up the earthworm immediately.

The king cobra swam past at an accelerated pace and swung to knock down several crows.

"Wang!" Ping'an jumped out after him, stepped on the body of the king cobra, jumped towards the crow, and bit a crow in one bite.

"Ahh

Ping An tooth strained and quickly bit the crow to death. Then he threw it aside and pounced on another crow.

The crows saw the tragic situation of their kind, but under the attraction of the earthworms, none of them retreated, and still desperately pounced from the air, trying to take the opportunity to take an earthworm away.

For a moment, there was a scuffle, feathers flew in the air, and dead crows kept falling from the sky.

Zhou Yu's second daughter was thrilled to watch, and her face was unbearable. Zhou Yanyan shouted: "Uncle Xu, stop them, don't fight." ”

Yu Qiuwen also said: "It's so cruel, Uncle Xu, let them stop fighting." ”

"Hmm!" Xu Mo replied, trying to use the Soul Whip to drive the crows away.

A crow finally caught the gap and swooped down on an earthworm while the woodpecker on his side drove away its kind. I took the earthworm in my mouth and wanted to fly away.

Yuan Yuan fired a shot, and in the confusion, he hit another crow.

The crow didn't know that it had been lucky enough to dodge an attack and flew high quickly. Then I want to fly away from the sky.

An eagle flew out of nowhere, grabbed the crow, and the crow screamed, trying to break free, but couldn't.

The eagle grabbed the crow, and while it was still in the air, it stretched out its beak and pecked at the crow, trying to peck the crow to death. When his mouth moved, he saw the earthworm in the crow's mouth.

The eagle looked sideways, and suddenly let out a long cry, changed the direction of its beak, let go of the crow, and pecked at the earthworm.

Grab the earthworm in one bite and snatch it outward. The crow is in the talons of the eagle, still holding on to the earthworm. The earthworm was torn into two pieces by two birds, one for the crow and one for the eagle.

The eagle got the earthworm, swallowed it in one bite, and then went to the crow's mouth to fight for it. The crow seemed to have become wiser, its beak was loosened, and half of the earthworm immediately fell.

The eagle ignored the crow, let go of its claws, and pounced on the falling earthworm. The crow escaped death, crowed a few times, and immediately flew away into the distance.

Before the earthworm landed, it was caught up by the eagle, grabbed it, and swallowed it again.

Xu Mo was going to drive the crows away, but when he saw this scene, he changed his mind again, "Let's wait and see." (To be continued......)
