This Is My Primitive Tribe - Vol 2 Chapter 280

The flying speed of the glutinous rice balls is getting faster and faster. If you look at it from the ground, it looks like a purple somersault cloud whistling overhead.

Sitting on the back of Tangyuan, Jiang Xuan listened to the “huhu” wind in his ears, and looked at the scenery passing by below, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

When he picked up glutinous rice balls in the forest, it was the autumn of the second year of the Vine Tribe, and now it is the seventh year of the Vine Tribe, and five years have passed by in a flash.

Tangyuan has changed from a chubby purple baby bird to a huge fierce bird with a wingspan of more than 50 meters. The change is really too great.

The most important thing is that he obviously found that the size of the glutinous rice balls is still growing, that is to say, after five years, it still hasn’t really grown up.

Its combat power is getting stronger and stronger, and its flying speed is not weaker than the old witch’s giant eagle. It can be said to have great potential.

Jiang Xuan is looking forward to how powerful it will be when it truly enters adulthood and reaches its peak in physical strength and combat experience.

The mountains, rivers and rivers below kept passing by, and before they knew it, the glutinous rice balls had already flown over the forest where the hunting team was.

“Yi’er…”

Tangyuan let out a sharp cry, then circled and lowered its altitude, looking for a suitable place to land.

“Leader, look…”

Uncaria sat behind Jiang Xuan, pointing to the forest ahead.

Jiang Xuan had already noticed the abnormality over there. In fact, it was difficult not to notice it, because a large forest had become bare, except for the branches and trunks, there was no green to be seen.

“What a powerful locust!”

Even Jiang Xuan was shocked when he saw such a scene.

This was the first time he saw the locust plague with his own eyes. He had only seen it in some movies and videos in his previous life, and it was far less shocking than what he saw with his own eyes.

What’s more, these locusts are much more powerful than those known in previous lives.

Each adult locust is the size of a fist. When they eat the leaves of a tree and spread their wings to fly, there is a large black mass. The sound of the vibration of the wings alone is enough to scare people.

Jiang Xuan has some understanding of the locust’s ability to reproduce and evolve. He also knows that once a locust plague appears, if it cannot be effectively contained, it will expand rapidly and harm a very wide area, or even several areas.

“Tangyuan, don’t land yet, go ahead and have a look.”

Under Jiang Xuan’s instructions, the glutinous rice balls stuck to the sky above the forest and continued to fly forward. The gust of wind when the wings flapped blows away many locusts on the treetops.

The glutinous rice balls carried Jiang Xuan and Uncaria to the forest ahead, and the more he saw, the more frightened Jiang Xuan became, because these locusts had already eaten up a large forest, and they were still going on. spread around.

If things go on like this, it’s only a matter of time before these locusts fly to the place where the vine tribe is.

“They can’t be allowed to continue to reproduce like this. We must find a way to stop them.”

But how to deal with these overwhelming locusts? Jiang Xuan felt very tricky.

Places like Nanhuang are actually not suitable habitats for locusts at all.

Locusts like to lay eggs in places with low vegetation coverage or even bare places. It is difficult for them to reproduce in places like the Southern Wilderness where the primeval forests are everywhere.

In previous years, Jiang Xuan had never seen a locust plague at all, and he had never even heard of a locust plague in the southern wilderness.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan guessed that these locusts should have come from Xihuang, or a place close to Xihuang.

The locust plague is the easiest to extinguish when the scale is small in the early stage, but when the scale of the locusts reaches a certain level, it will be difficult to eliminate them.

Even in the era of advanced technology in the previous life, dealing with locust plagues was not an easy task.

What’s more, in the primitive era that Jiang Xuan is now in, he can’t even find a bottle of the simplest insecticide.

But no matter what, with the terrifying eating speed of these locusts, it won’t take long for them to harm the Vine tribe.

Due to the drought this year, the grain production of the Vine Tribe had been greatly affected. Jiang Xuan didn’t expect that there would be no harvest.

Without insecticides, how to control these locusts?

The first thing Jiang Xuan thought of was ducks, because in his previous life he often heard about using ducks to control locusts.

The Vine Tribe has now domesticated a large number of wild ducks. If these ducks can be driven over, they should be able to eat a lot of locusts.

But the scale of the locusts is too big right now. How many ducks can be eaten by the thousand ducks domesticated by the vine tribe?

In addition to ducks, birds like colorful pheasants, unicorns, and raptors will also eat locusts, but they eat locusts at a slower rate, not as much as ducks.

Besides ducks and these birds, can you think of some other ways?

Jiang Xuan was thinking about it, the glutinous rice balls had already flown around, returned to the place where the first hunting team was, and found a spacious place to land.

“Boss, those bugs are terrible.”

“Boss, all the animals in the forest have run away.”

“Boss, what should we do?”

…

After landing, members of the hunting team gathered around one after another, asking Jiang Xuan eagerly, hoping that the leader could come up with an idea.

It was the first time for the soldiers of the hunting team to see a plague of locusts. The overwhelming insects and the bare forest made them very flustered.

The locust plague not only affects plants, but also a large number of herbivores that depend on plants.

The locusts gnawed away all the green plants, and herbivores also lost their food sources, so they could only be forced to migrate to survive in places that were not plagued by locusts.

Once the herbivores run, the large carnivores can only follow.

Therefore, the place where locusts pass through is often a desolate and dilapidated scene, and only a small number of birds that eat locusts will stop for a short time.

The hunting team, which makes a living by hunting, is naturally very anxious in the face of the possibility that there may be no hunting in the future.

“Shut up!”

At the critical moment, Uncaria stood up, let out a low growl, and calmed down those soldiers.

After everyone quieted down, Jiang Xuancai said: “We have dealt with even more difficult and vicious opponents, so are we still afraid of these bugs?”

“Everyone, don’t panic, trust me and trust the tribe, we will definitely find a way to get rid of these bugs, and prevent them from harming more forests!”

Jiang Xuan held a lot of weight in the hearts of these fighters, and his words finally made these restless fighters feel a little more at ease.

Uncaria asked: “Boss, what should we do next?”

According to the previous order, the hunting team originally came to clear the road ahead and provide safe development space for the following planting team, breeding team and other teams.

But now that there is a plague of locusts, the first hunting team must get rid of these locusts first, otherwise the following teams will not be able to work at all.

Jiang Xuan thought for a while, and said: “First drive the ducks, colorful pheasants, and unicorns domesticated by the breeding team. Your hunting team is responsible for protecting the breeding team.”

“yes!”

With a new mission, Uncaria felt much more at ease.

Anyway, he just followed Jiang Xuan’s orders. As for whether those ducks and birds would have any effect after they came, that’s not something he should worry about.

“Everyone return to the tribe immediately!”

Uncaria gave an order, and the soldiers of the hunting team got on their mounts one after another, then turned around and walked towards the tribe.

Jiang Xuan also returned with glutinous rice balls, but his heart was far from as calm as he showed.

Because he knows very well that the locust plague cannot be cured by the breeding team alone, and a more effective method must be found.

Besides ducks and birds, what else can deal with these locusts? Jiang Xuan looked at the forest passing by below and fell into deep thought.
