This Is My Primitive Tribe - Vol 2 Chapter 281
Three days later, the first batch of colorful ducks, colorful pheasants, unicorns and other poultry were caged and brought to the place where the locust plague was infested.
These locusts are really terrible. In just three days, they have eaten up a lot of forests, and no grass can grow anywhere they pass.
“Open the cage!”
Jiang Xuan sat on the back of the black wind rhinoceros Crescent Moon, and with an order, the members of the breeding team opened the cages they were carrying and released all the poultry.
During the three days on the road, these poultry were only fed once a day, and the amount of feeding was not much, and they were already very hungry.
“Quack quack…”
The colorful duck flew out first, yelled, flapped its wings and flew up, pounced on the locusts.
Due to the relatively short domestication time, all poultry in the vine tribe, as long as they are not overweight, basically have the ability to fly.
A colorful duck flew into the air first, opened its mouth, grabbed a locust in one bite, and swallowed it almost without chewing.
Each of these locusts is the size of a fist and is very fat.
The colorful ducks of the Vine Tribe weigh about 20 to 30 catties, and only they can directly swallow locusts raw.
A large flock of colorful ducks was constantly flapping in the air, and the locusts all over the mountains and plains were simply a feast for them.
In addition to colorful ducks, colorful pheasants, unicorns and other poultry 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, break them apart with their sharp beaks, and then eat them bit by bit.
“Boss, they eat so fast and eat a lot every day, should they be able to clean up these locusts?”
Uncaria stood beside Jiang Xuan, nervously watching those poultry flopping around, frantically preying on locusts.
However, Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, “No, the locusts have already become a disaster, and there are too many of them.”
Uncaria couldn’t help but retort: “But we also raise a lot of poultry, and they eat a lot, and they eat all day long.”
Jiang Xuandao: “Each of these locusts can breed countless, and they can grow up in a very short period of time. Even if these birds stay around day and night, they can’t eat them.”
Dajiao, the leader of the breeding team at the side, nodded and said: “The leader is right, the bugs reproduce too fast, and the number of poultry we breed is limited, so we can’t eat them all.”
At the beginning of the establishment of the breeding team, Dajiao has been breeding insects for a long time, and has a certain understanding of the living habits of various insects.
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?”
Looking at the locusts flying all over the sky and the bare forest ahead, Uncaria felt extremely bad.
“Don’t be so pessimistic.”
Jiang Xuan patted Uncaria on the shoulder, and said: “These locusts are not only a disaster for our Vine tribe, but also for other tribes. Maybe other tribes will have a solution?”
“For example, the frog tribe, those giant frogs are much better at dealing with bugs than us.”
Uncaria’s eyes lit up, and said: “That’s right, why did I forget about the Frog Tribe, leader, I can send a few soldiers to look for them right now.”
“Don’t worry, besides the Frog Tribe, the Sparrow Tribe should also be notified. I don’t think those birds will refuse to fly over to eat bugs.”
“There are also the mountain turtle tribe, the one-horned tribe, the thornfly tribe… There are so many tribes nearby, everyone should contribute. Aren’t they afraid that the forest will be destroyed by locusts and have nowhere to hunt?”
Jiang Xuan’s words gave Uncaria a sense of enlightenment.
Because of the fierce competition for survival, tribal people seldom cooperate with other tribes, and have always fought alone.
But Vine Tribe is different.
Under the leadership of Jiang Xuan, the Vine Tribe has many allies and three affiliated tribes.
If the power of these allies and affiliated tribes is brought together to deal with the locusts, it will definitely play a big role.
Uncaria said: “Boss, shall we send people to contact these tribes now?”
Jiang Xuandao: “There’s no need to send anyone, I’ll ride the glutinous rice balls myself. If ordinary soldiers go there, those tribes may not respond positively.”
In the past few years of managing the tribe, Jiang Xuan has a deeper understanding of the human heart and human nature.
He knew that if he sent a few fighters there at random, those tribes would definitely not pay attention to it, and there would be a high probability that they would send some people over to perfunctory the matter.
But it is different for Jiang Xuan to go in person. With his strength and status, he only needs to stand on the territory of those tribes, which will naturally attract the attention of those tribes.
Uncaria said: “Leader, let me go with you.”
Jiang Xuan shook his head: “This place can’t be left alone. Before I come back, your first hunting team must guard this place, and at the same time protect the breeding team so that no mistakes can occur.”
“yes!”
Gripping the spear tightly, Uncaria stood upright.
Jiang Xuan patted Yueya’s neck to let it stay here temporarily, then summoned Tangyuan with a bone whistle, and flew to the nearest mountain turtle tribe in the Tangyuan.
…
Southern Wilderness, Mountain Turtle Tribe.
“It’s all broken anyway.”
In the open space in front of the tribe, Shanjia looked at the pile of broken ice lotus roots, feeling very dissatisfied.
These ice lotus roots were all dug out from the big swamp where the otter tribe lived.
Since the Otter Tribe left, the Mountain Turtle Tribe has been eyeing those ice lotus roots, and tried to collect them when they were 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 up the stem and the lotus root directly.
The result of this is obvious, that is, most of the ice lotus root is broken, and it is difficult to find a whole ice lotus root.
Shanjia picked up a piece of ice lotus root, washed the mud on it casually, put it in his mouth and took a bite, the cold, sweet and moist taste made his mouth feel like he had a stick of sugar in his mouth. ice cubes.
In this hot, dry weather, it is obviously a very top enjoyment to be able to eat something like this.
“Forget it, just break it, it tastes the same.”
Thinking of this, Shanjia became happy again. Anyway, the Otter Tribe is not there anymore, and they can often go to dig ice lotus root in the future.
It doesn’t matter if it’s off or not, as long as it’s delicious.
Just when Shanjia was eating iced lotus root and thinking happily about picking some good-looking ones to exchange for some good ones at the trading area of the Vine Tribe, a familiar bird song suddenly came from the sky.
Shanjia looked up, and saw a huge purple fierce bird, flying over the mountain turtle tribe at a very high speed. The purple feathers were shining brightly in the sun, very dazzling.
Shanjia looked at the half-bitten lotus root in his hand, and said with emotion: “Boss Xuan came in time, every time there is something delicious, he will definitely appear…”
