Chapter 282 Everyone shows their special abilities
Three days later, the first batch of colorful ducks, colorful pheasants, unicorns and other poultry were put in cages and brought to the area where the locust plague was occurring.
These locusts were so terrifying. In just three days, they ate up a lot of woods, leaving almost no grass growing wherever they passed.
"Open the cage!"
Jiang Xuan sat on the back of Black Wind Rhino Crescent Moon, and with an order, the members of the breeding team opened the cages they carried and released all the poultry.
During the three days on the road, these poultry were only fed once a day, and the amount was not large. They were already hungry.
"Quack..."
The colorful duck took the lead to fly out, shouting and flapping its wings as it flew up and pounced on the locusts.
Due to the relatively short domestication time, all poultry in the Vine Tribe, as long as they are not overweight, are basically capable of flying.
A colorful duck flew into the air first, opened its mouth, grabbed a locust in one mouthful, and swallowed it directly into its belly without even chewing it.
Each of these locusts is the size of a fist and very fat.
The colorful ducks of the Vine Tribe weigh about twenty or thirty kilograms, and only they can swallow locusts alive.
A large group of colorful ducks kept flapping in the air, and the locusts all over the mountains and plains were a feast for them.
In addition to the colorful ducks, poultry such as colorful pheasants and unicorn birds also flew out of their cages to join the feast.
But their efficiency in eating locusts is obviously not as good as that of colorful ducks. They need to hold the locusts in their mouths first, bring them to the ground or trees, use their sharp beaks to break the locusts apart, and then eat them bit by bit. "Chief, they eat so fast and eat a lot every day. They should be able to clean up these locusts, right?"
Uncaria stood next to Jiang Xuan, nervously watching the poultry flapping around, wildly hunting for locusts.
However, Jiang Xuan shook his head and said: "No, the locusts have become a disaster, there are too many."
Uncaria couldn't help but retorted: "But we also raise a lot of poultry, and their appetites are very large. They eat non-stop all day long."
Jiang Xuandao: "Each of these locusts can breed countless locusts, and they can grow up in a very short period of time. Even if these birds work day and night, they will not be able to eat them."
Dajiao, the leader of the breeding team on the side, nodded and said: "The leader is right, the insects reproduce too fast. The number of poultry we raise is limited and we can't eat them."
When the breeding team was first established, Dajiao had been breeding bugs for a long time and had a certain understanding of the living habits of various bugs.
Although the individual combat effectiveness of insects is not strong, their ability to reproduce and grow is terrifying.
"Then we can only watch these locusts eat up the forest?"
Uncaria looked at the locusts flying in the sky and the bare forest in front of her, and felt that her mood became extremely bad.
"Don't be so pessimistic."
Jiang Xuan patted Uncaria on the shoulder and said: "These locusts are not only harming our Vine tribe, but also other tribes. Maybe other tribes can find a way?"
"For example, in the Frog Tribe, those giant frogs are much better at dealing with bugs than we are."
Uncaria's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, why did I forget about the Frog Tribe? Chief, I can send a few soldiers to look for them now."
"Don't worry, in addition to the frog tribe, the bird tribe should also inform. I think those birds will not refuse to fly over to eat bugs."
"There are also the Mountain Turtle Tribe, the One-Horned Tribe, the Stinging Fly Tribe... There are so many tribes nearby. Everyone should contribute. Aren't they afraid that the forest will be destroyed by locusts and they will have nowhere to hunt?"
Jiang Xuan's words made Undeng feel suddenly enlightened.
Due to the fierce competition for survival, tribal people rarely cooperate with other tribes and have always fought alone.
But the Vine tribe is different.
Under the leadership of Jiang Xuan, the Vine Tribe has many allies and three affiliated tribes.
If the forces of these allies and affiliated tribes are brought together to deal with the locusts, they will definitely play a great role.
Goudo said: "Chief, shall we send people to contact these tribes now?"
Jiang Xuandao: "There is no need to send anyone. I will go there myself on a glutinous rice ball. If ordinary soldiers go there, those tribes may not respond positively."
In the past few years of managing the tribe, Jiang Xuan has gained a deeper understanding of people's hearts and human nature.
He knew that if he randomly sent a few soldiers there, those tribes would definitely not pay attention to it, and would most likely send a few people over to make things up.
But it's different if Jiang Xuan goes there in person. With his strength and status, he only needs to stop in the territories of those tribes, and he will naturally attract the attention of those tribes.
Undo said: "Chief, I'll go with you."
Jiang Xuan shook his head: "This place cannot be left unattended. Before I come back, your hunting team must guard this place, and at the same time protect the people of the breeding team so that no mistakes can be made."
"Yes!"
Uncaria clenched her spear and stood upright.
Jiang Xuanze patted Yueyue's neck and let it stay here temporarily, then called Tangyuan over with a bone whistle, and flew to the Shangui tribe closest to here on Tangyuan.
……
Southern Wilderness, Mountain Turtle Tribe.
"Why are they all broken?"
In the open space in front of the tribe, the mountain beetle looked at the pile of broken ice lotus roots and felt very dissatisfied.
These ice lotus roots were dug out from the large swamp where the Otter tribe originally lived.
Since the Otter tribe left, the Mountain Turtle tribe has been eyeing the ice lotus roots and trying to collect them when they are ripe.
However, although the people of the Mountain Turtle Tribe can swim, they are not as good at diving as the people of the Otter Tribe, so they cannot dive into the bottom of the swamp and dig out the ice lotus root completely.
They can only dive as far as possible along the main stem of the ice lotus root, and then pull it up directly with the stem and lotus root.
The result of this is obvious, that is, most ice lotus roots are broken, and it is difficult to find a complete ice lotus root.
Golin picked up a piece of ice lotus root, washed the sludge on it casually, then put it in his mouth and took a bite. The cold and sweet moistness made his mouth feel like he had a stick of sugar in it.
of ice cubes.
In this hot, dry weather, being able to eat something like this is obviously a very top-notch enjoyment.
"Forget it, just cut it off, it tastes the same."
The mountain beetle thought this and became happy again. Anyway, the otter tribe is not there anymore, and they can go there often to dig ice lotus roots.
It doesn’t matter whether it lasts or not, as long as it’s delicious.
While the mountain beetle was eating ice lotus root, happily thinking about picking out some good ones to take to the trading area of the Vine Tribe to exchange for some good stuff, a familiar bird song suddenly came from the sky. p>
The mountain turtle looked up and saw a huge purple fierce bird flying over the mountain turtle tribe at high speed. Its purple feathers shone in the sun, making it very dazzling.
Shan Jia looked at the half-bitten ice lotus root in his hand and said with emotion: "Chief Xuan arrived just in time. Every time there is something delicious, he will definitely show up..."
