On the tenth year after the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

Chapter 299 The chestnut forest after the thunderstorm

Xia Qing didn't want people to know about her grudge against Tang Zhengsu, so she wanted to find the best position to observe the No. 2 territory.

On the pretext of patrolling the third area of ​​​​No. 49 Mountain, she invited a member of the Huxufeng team to come and guard the territory for her. She then entered the third area and monitored the movements of the second territory on a tall pine tree.

Now that Tang Zhengsu and Xu Pin have left, Tang Heng has gone to Territory No. 12, and Tang Huai is sleeping under a parasol. Territory No. 2 has no surveillance value. Xia Qing took advantage of this time to go to Valley No. 1 to look for the mountains. ginger.

It was mid-October, still a month before the mountain ginger matured, but she could test the quality of the mountain ginger first, and then stop by to see if the chestnut grove had suffered any damage during the migratory bird season and last night's thunderstorm.

Because Xia Qing had seen the pictures taken by Hu Hu Feng, Xia Qing quickly found the location of Shan Jiang. The last time she came to the valley, she was in a hurry to track the red squirrels and did not pass through the valley, so she did not discover that there was a large area of ​​about six square meters of alpine in the valley.

If they were all red lights, this area could be sold for hundreds of points. There are so many treasures in this valley.

There had just been a thunderstorm, and the soil on the hillside was soft. If you slipped and fell into the territory of aggressive plants, you would be in trouble.

After Xia Qing confirmed that there were no large animals nearby, he found a normal big tree, tied the climbing rope to the trunk, and pulled the rope down. Because her protective suit was sprayed with the evolutionary forest insect repellent she exchanged with Zhang San, she would not be attacked by insects within three hours, reducing the trouble of being harassed and attacked by insects, and she could reach the target quickly.

She first checked the air toxin detector worn on her arm to confirm that the air here did not contain toxins, then washed away the mud on the soles of her shoes in the stream, and then carefully looked at the piece of alpine, and soon discovered something was wrong.

Unlike other dense plants, although this patch of alpine grows quite densely, there are gaps between the leaves. There are even gaps between the leaves of mountain ginger growing on the same stem, and the shape of each mountain ginger leaf seems to have been repaired by something, making it look different.

What does this mean? This shows that Alpine leaves are aggressive and will attack anything close to the leaves indiscriminately, including other leaves on the same plant.

How does it attack?

Although they are the same plant, they have evolved in different directions. The mountain ginger collected by Xia Qing releases irritating poisonous gas, but the one here obviously does not.

Xia Qing grabbed a centipede and threw it on the mountain ginger leaf. He found that the mountain ginger leaf did not extend its vein needles like the green light peanut, nor did it shoot out leaf darts like the green light bamboo.

She took another stick and tentatively touched the stems and leaves of the mountain ginger. The mountain ginger was still like a normal plant, without any reaction.

The more unresponsive he is, the more abnormal he is. Xia Qing, who has survived to the tenth year of the natural disaster, will never underestimate the enemy. Since it wasn't poison gas or physical attacks, it might be that the juice was poisonous.

Xia Qing chopped off a mountain ginger with a knife and touched the transparent liquid slowly seeping out from the stem of the mountain ginger with a blade of grass, but found no change in the grass blade.

After taking another look at the air toxin detector on his arm, and confirming that the juice would not release poisonous gas, Xia Qing took out the aphrodisiac element detector and found that the aphrodisiac element contained in this Alpine plant was more than four thousandths, making it a green light. Plants, I plan to take one back and ask Zhang San to confirm the quality.

Out of caution, Xia Qing put on a pair of thickened disposable gloves over protective gloves, then dug out the alpine plant with a shovel, shook off the soil and put it in a sealed bag for storage. She also sealed the rhizome of mountain ginger and went back to ask Boss Yang if he liked it.

The shape of mountain ginger is like ginger used for seasoning, but it is actually a medicinal material. This medicinal material is more valuable than the white-haired chicken vine in Xia Qing's territory. A pound of dried green light white-haired chicken vine sells for 40 points. , but a pound of fresh green light mountain ginger that can be used as medicine is sold at this price.

Of course, this is related to the medicinal properties, demand and output of the medicinal materials. The evolved white-haired chicken vine can be harvested, dried and sold three seasons a year, but mountain ginger can only be harvested once a year in November, and the yield is much lower than that of the chicken vine.

After Xia Qing put away the mountain ginger, she killed several evolved lizards that rushed to attack her and stuffed them into the bag on her waist. She was about to pull the rope back to the hillside when she turned around and found that the blade of grass that had just touched the mountain ginger juice was actually It's starting to rot!

Although her gloves had not changed yet, Xia Qing put a thicker layer of packaging bags on the bags containing the stems, leaves and roots of alpine ginger, washed the gloves in the stream, took them off and packed them.

Then, Xia Qing dragged the rope up the hillside. After walking a few hundred meters, she stopped in front of a tree.

The evolved plants were all kinds of strange, and Xia Qing couldn't recognize what kind of evolutionary tree it was. Judging from the appearance, this tree is very inconspicuous, but Xia Qing marked this tree last time. Because of this tree, she felt something was wrong, just like the sunflower before it evolved.

The tree grew taller during the migratory bird season and after thunderstorms, but the feeling that something was wrong remained.

Xia Qing picked a leaf and found that the tree's cyanide content had hardly changed. She took a note and rushed to two grass plants that made her feel something was wrong.

The test element content of the grass was still about 20 parts per thousand. No matter how you look at it, these are two ordinary red dwarf grasses, but Xia Qing still cut off the grass spikes and put them in a sealed bag. She wanted to see the properties of this kind of grass. After the seeds germinate, what are the differences between them and other red lantern grasses?

After arriving directly above the chestnut forest, Xia Qing walked down the animal path he walked last time, entered the valley, and checked the chestnut forest.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it. It had only been a month since she harvested the chestnuts, and most of the sticky leaves on the chestnut trees had fallen off, and the wasps wandering around the chestnut trees had disappeared.

A few chestnut balls that have not yet fallen are hanging on the bare branches, revealing the reddish-brown chestnuts inside, which makes people's eyes warm just by looking at them. This chestnut forest is like a carefully laid trap for wasps.

Xia Qing did not rush forward, but relied on his excellent visual evolution ability to hide behind a big tree and observe from a distance.

Soon, a bird flying through the third area found a chestnut ball on the tree and landed to eat it, but its beak was stuck by the chestnut ball.

When the bird fluttered and struggled to escape, the wasps hiding in the crevices of the rocks immediately swarmed out, poisoned the bird with its tail stings, decomposed it, and carried it back to its nest in the crevices, leaving not a single bird feather behind.

This hunt took less than ten minutes in total! With such lethality, these wasps must have captured a lot of birds for food reserves during the migratory bird season.

Being able to stick to a bird weighing several kilograms shows that the sap of chestnut balls is more sticky than it was a month ago. If she were to harvest such sticky chestnut balls now, it would be several times more difficult than a month ago!

Thanks to the red squirrel who led the way, she was brought to the chestnut grove at the perfect time.
