Chapter 34 Bird-billed Mosquitoes

 After eating all the fruits of the whip tree, Jiang Xuan obviously felt that his strength had more than doubled than before, but he didn't know how far away he was from the two-color warrior.

If you want to become a two-color warrior, you don't just have to be strong.

The strength, speed, and senses of the two-color warriors are far superior to those of the one-color warriors. Only in this way can they hunt wild boars alone.

Each of the fruits of the whip tree has several small cores scattered in the pulp.

Jiang Xuan collected all the fruit stones together, then took them to the southern mountain forest, cleared a clearing, and planted the fruit stones in rows.

Jiang Xuan planted the eight thunder tree saplings in the mountain forest to the north of the Vine Tribe. This time, Jiang Xuan chose the mountain forest to the south for the whip tree core.

In this way, when these plants grow up, the forests on the north and south sides of the Vine Tribe will have defensive capabilities.

Uncaria asked in confusion: "Chief, why are you planting these fruit stones here? This kind of fruit is so good, shouldn't it be planted near the bamboo house?"

Shi Loach rolled his eyes and said, "If you had seen the scene of the whip tree beating someone, you wouldn't have such an idea."

Jiang Xuandao: "Shi Loach is right. The whip tree is very dangerous. If planted in the tribe, it will cause harm to the tribe. But if planted here, it can defend against foreign enemies."

"Not only whip trees, but also dangerous plants such as cage vines and head-biting flowers can be planted near the tribe. In the future, unless people from other tribes can fly, it will not be so easy to enter our tribe."

Uncaria scratched her head and said: "People from other tribes can't come in, but it's hard for us to go out, right? These ferocious plants don't recognize people."

Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "This is simple. You only need to dig a tunnel underground, and you can enter and exit at will. Two people will be placed next to the tunnel to guard it. It will not be easy for people from other tribes to get in."

Uncaria said in admiration: "Chief, you are so smart!"

When other people looked at Jiang Xuan, their eyes also shone with admiration.

After a few people planted all the fruit stones, they used stone axes to chop down the two big shading trees.

It was very laborious to chop down the tree with a stone axe. Fortunately, the five of them were all warriors and had just eaten the fruit of the whip tree, which greatly increased their strength. After spending some time, they successfully knocked down the tree.

Jiang Xuan dragged the two big trees aside and left them alone for the time being. After the autumn dries, they can be dragged back to be used as firewood.

Later, they returned to the tribe.

Chi Shao took Uncaria and others to hunt, while Jiang Xuan took the tourists to continue transplanting the insect-eating plants.

"This is water arrowhead. It shoots water arrows to catch bugs. It needs to be planted more densely. This way, more water arrows will be shot, and the chance of hitting bugs is higher."

Jiang Xuan took Gan Song and others to transplant the water arrowheads they found in the open field into the vegetable field, and planted them in three rows, close together.

"This is bamboo tube grass. We rely on these bamboo tube-shaped leaves to catch insects, so we don't need to plant them so densely."

"This is a clapping flower. It relies on these two leaves to swat away insects. It can also be planted in scattered places."

……

Jiang Xuan took the tourists and planted these insect-eating plants in more than 30 acres of cultivated land one by one.

Now it seems that the number of these plants is too small to catch many insects, but in the fall, these plants will bloom and bear fruit, and with seeds, the vine tribe can plant a large number of them next year.

As long as they can be successfully planted, the vine tribe will no longer have to rely on manual efforts to catch bugs. These plants will actively attract the bugs and eliminate them.

After planting those plants, the sun had already set, and Jiang Xuan and the tourists returned to the bamboo house.

As night falls, the primitive jungle becomes active again, with countless birds and beasts emerging, fighting round after round for survival.

In the cultivated land, the newly planted carnivorous plants slowly spread their roots and penetrated deeply into the soil, absorbing water and nutrients.

It didn't take long for their languid stems and leaves to become plump again, and slowly stretched until they regained their vitality.

These carnivorous plants are very tenacious. When they adapt to their new living environment, they will become more vital than before!

The night wind blows, and a full moon slowly rises from the sky. The moonlight covers the earth like a veil, adding a mysterious atmosphere to everything.

"Crack, crackle, crackle..."

In the bamboo house, firewood continued to burn. After Jiang Xuan had eaten and drank, he remembered that there were a few fan grasses in the animal skin bag, so he took them out.

"Why did you forget these fan grasses?"

Jiang Xuan picked up the bone grass and took the fan grass outside the house. He found an open space and planted the fan grass.

"Next year, these fan grasses should be able to grow into a large area. Then squeeze some juice and see if it can be made into mosquito repellent water."

The juice of fan grass can repel mosquitoes when applied to the body, but I don’t know how long it can be stored after being squeezed.

If you can find a way to make them into mosquito repellent water and store them for a long time, you won't have to worry about being bitten by mosquitoes when you go hunting in the mountains or sleep at night.

After all, no one likes the feeling of being bitten by a mosquito. It's okay to suck blood, but it's really annoying to leave a patch that gets more and more itchy as it gets scratched.

After Jiang Xuan finished planting the fan grass, he returned to the bamboo house and closed the door.

Before going to bed, he added a handful of stink grass to the charcoal fire next to the fire pit to repel mosquitoes.

"Stink grass needs to be burned before it can be used, and when blown by the wind after burning, mosquitoes will fly in again. It would be great if we could create a long-lasting mosquito repellent earlier, so we don't have to smell this stinky smell every day.



Jiang Xuan lay on the bamboo bed again, resting on a newly made reed pillow and sleeping on a reed mat. Listening to the "crackling" sound of firewood burning, he fell asleep quickly.

The night is getting deeper, and the smelly grass in the fire pond is burning slowly.

"Buzz buzz..."

Under the moonlight, a huge mosquito flew from the southern forest to the Vine Tribe.

Its wings are half a meter long when spread out, and its translucent wings flap at an alarming frequency, making it fly extremely fast.

This giant mosquito has black and purple patterns all over its body, and the most peculiar thing is its mouthparts.

Other mosquitoes live by sucking animal blood, plant juices, and nectar, so their mouthparts are needle-shaped.

But the mouthparts of this giant mosquito are like sharp beaks, slightly curved and able to open and close.

This giant mosquito is so rare that its name is the bird-billed mosquito.

The Bird-billed Mosquito is the battle pet of the Mosquito Tribe, and can help the Mosquito Tribe warriors hunt, guard, and view distant situations.

The appearance of this bird-billed mosquito means that the warriors of the mosquito tribe have arrived nearby. It is equivalent to a spy exploring the path.

"Buzz buzz..."

The bird-billed mosquito flew so fast. In the blink of an eye, it flew over the rattan tribe, saw the bamboo house, and sensed that there was someone in the bamboo house.

However, at this moment, the smell of stinky grass floated high into the sky with the wind and drifted to the side of the bird-billed mosquito.

An unpleasant smell stimulated the bird-billed mosquito's senses. The bird-billed mosquito froze, and even its wings flapped slowly.

It's like a person who doesn't eat stinky tofu suddenly smells the smell of the smelliest stinky tofu, and his face turns green.

"Buzz..."

This bird-billed mosquito escaped from the vine tribe as quickly as possible without even looking back...
