The bonfire burned for three nights in a row, and almost all the flying insects with light-taking near the Vine Tribe were burned.

With the efforts of people and various frogs, most of the wingless insects were also eliminated.

The insect storm gradually subsided, and the crops in the ground were preserved and continued to grow.

But Jiang Xuan knew very well that relying on bonfires to exterminate insects is just a temporary solution. If you want to exterminate insects for a long time and long term, you must think of other ways.

The insecticide medicine is too complicated and Jiang Xuan can't get it out, so he can only give up.

After thinking about it, he didn't think of any good idea.

Until one day, he found more than a dozen very special plants in a grass in the open land.

This is a kind of grass that looks like a purple gourd. They are about half a meter tall and are purple-red overall. The plump abdomen is filled with a liquid, but the opening at the top is very narrow, and the outer skin and leaves are smooth and tough.

After getting closer, you can obviously smell this grass exudes a sweet fragrance, attracting many insects to wander around nearby.

"puff!"

When a flying insect flew over it, the abdomen of the plant suddenly contracted, and the strong pressure instantly sprayed the liquid from the abdomen of the plant. After passing through the small mouth on the top, the liquid flew very high and directly shot the flying insect.

The liquid was very sticky. After the flying insects were sprayed, their wings were stuck and could not be flapped. After struggling for a few times, they fell to the ground.

The flying insect struggled a few more times on the ground, then countless roots drilled out from the ground, entangled the flying insects, and tied them tighter and tighter until the flying insects could no longer move.

This flying insect will soon become the nutrients for these magical plants, making these plants grow better.

Jiang Xuan carefully watched the process of catching insects by plants, and he said in surprise: "What kind of plant is this? It's so great to catch insects!"

Jiang Xuan observed for a long time, then dug one and took it back to ask about Chishao.

"This is called water arrow grass."

Red peony took the plant and took a brief look at it to know what kind of plant it is.

Red peony pointed to the abdomen of the plant and said, "When this grass encounters insects, its stomach will shrink and then spray water, shooting the insects down like an arrow, so we call it water arrow grass."

“Where did you find it?”

Jiang Xuan replied: "Just in the uncultivated wasteland, there were more than a dozen plants growing. When I passed by, I happened to see it shoot a bug, so I dug one back."

Chishao returned the water arrow grass to Jiang Xuan: "Water arrow grass is a good thing. It is dug out with the roots and then dried and ground into powder to treat the wound."

"So it's still an herb." Jiang Xuan was surprised by this magical grass.

"Many plants are herbs. Knowing them more can save your life at critical moments."

"This is what the hunting team told me."

Chishao's expression was a little dim, obviously thinking of the devastated Lu tribe.

Jiang Xuan patted Chishao on the shoulder with an encouraging look.

"I'm fine."

Chishao smiled at him, her eyes becoming firm again.

She has strong emotional regulation ability and rarely reveals her fragile side in front of others.

"I plan to plant a row of water arrow grass in the middle of each vegetable field."

Jiang Xuan expressed his thoughts: "I have thought about it carefully these days. If the crops in the fields are good, it is necessary to eliminate insects."

"One method to remove insects is to dig more ponds. Many frogs will gather around the pond, and they will eat a large number of insects."

"Another way is to plant various plants in the field that can actively capture insects like water arrow grass."

"With these plants, as long as the bugs are approached, they will be attracted to them and eaten, and our crops can grow safely."

"In addition to eating insects, these plants can also be used as medicine. They can be collected directly when needed, killing two birds with one stone."

After hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Chishao's eyes lit up.

Jiang Xuan’s plan sounds very good and has a high feasibility.

Those plants that eat insects usually exude a very strong fragrance, luring the insects over, which is much more attractive than the crops in the fields.

Using these plants to deal with insects can perfectly solve the problem of insects eating crops.

"Sister, can you take me to find these insect-eating plants?"

"Of course, there are not many such plants in the jungle. They are just hunting and don't look for them."

"Okay, then we'll go into the mountain tomorrow, call Shicao, and go dig some insect-eating plants together to plant them."

After Jiang Xuan and Chishao discussed going into the mountain tomorrow, they planted this water arrow grass that had become depressed because it was dug up and planted it on an open space in front of the bamboo house.

No words all night.

The next morning, Jiang Xuan, Chi Shao and Shi Qiu brought all the tools and entered the vast jungle.

The jungle in summer is very vibrant, with various plants growing wildly in the jungle, and various animals are also very active.

"Gugugugu..."

A big bird, after meeting a person, stepped on two long legs and ran away quickly.

This is a flying bird. Because its feathers have large red marks, tribes call it the red spotted bird.

The red spotted bird has small wings, but its legs are very thick, and it runs very fast, and it walks like a flying stair in the jungle.

"Redspot birds are very suitable for breeding. If the crops grown by the tribe can achieve a good harvest and there is food leftovers, domesticating redspot birds is a good choice."

The red spotted bird that ran away didn't know that it, including its kind, had been targeted by Jiang Xuan.

Chishao and Shicai looked at the red spotted bird a few more times. Although they did not know how to raise it, they became interested in it.

Compared to farming, tribes prefer to deal with wild animals and birds.

The three of them continued to move forward, and Red Peony walked specifically to a relatively low-lying and wet place.

As Chishao walked, she explained to Jiang Xuan: "The more wet the place, the more insects there are, and there are more plants that eat insects."

Jiang Xuan nodded. He knew that many flying insect-like larvae grew in the water and only climbed ashore after growing up, turned into cocoons and grew wings.

The three of them walked for a long time and walked to a shallow wild pond.

Red peony's eyes searched nearby for a moment, and then locked in a plant.

"Finished, bamboo tube grass."

Jiang Xuan followed her gaze and saw a strange plant, about twenty or thirty growing together.

This plant is very strange. It grows straight and has a leaf on each section. These leaves are curled and are in the shape of bamboo tubes.

When the wind blows, these plants sway with the wind, and the bamboo-shaped leaves occasionally collide, making a very slight sound.

"No wonder it's called Zhutongcao."

Jiang Xuan suddenly realized that this name is really vivid.

Jiang Xuan asked curiously: "Can this kind of bamboo tube grass catch insects?"

"Yes!" Chishao pointed at one of the bamboo grasses and said, "Look."

Jiang Xuan looked at the bamboo grass and found a flying insect hovering above the bamboo grass.

“Buzz buzz…”

The flying insect gradually approached the bamboo tube grass and flew into the "bamboo tube", greedily absorbing the sweet honey secreted from the inner wall.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, there was an extra lid on the "bamboo tube", trapping the flying insect inside. When the flying insect wanted to escape, it was too late.

It turns out that there is a leaf on the upper part of the cylindrical leaves of the bamboo tube grass, which is usually tightly attached to the "bamboo tube" and cannot be seen without careful reading.

When a bug is attracted by the sweet juice and enters the bamboo tube, the leaves will close quickly, like a tightly stitched lid, trapping the bugs inside.

Not only that, the leaves of the bamboo tube grass will continue to be rolled inward until the insects are completely trapped to death, and then the insects are slowly corroded and dissolved through the secreted juice, and finally become nutrients for the bamboo tube grass.

"What a great bamboo tube grass!"

Jiang Xuan saw the scene of bamboo tube grass prey on insects with his own eyes, and he felt that he was eye-opening.

At the same time, he decided to dig back the bamboo tube grass, plant it in the cultivated fields, catch insects, and protect crops, just like water arrow grass.
