You Cultivate, I Farm - Chapter 139
[Chapter 139 Pseudomonas]
, the three of them got together.
“I have observed the growth of some water peaches. From the appearance, there is nothing abnormal.”
The ordinary-looking Yan Ping said in a deep voice.
“Indeed, there is no sign of insect infestation at all.”
Lu Xuan nodded and agreed.
“Is there a protective formation outside the Zhangjialing Planting Garden?”
Senior Sister Yao asked Zhang Yutang.
“This… is not realistic.”
The white-haired old man shook his head.
“There are hundreds of water peach trees planted in this swamp, covering an area of dozens of acres. Low-level protective formations are completely unable to cover such a large area of spiritual planting garden.” “
As for high-level formations, with the Zhang family’s Even with the financial resources and strength, there is no way to obtain a formation of that level.”
“In addition, Shuize Lingtao grows in such a special environment, with swamps and lakes connected everywhere, completely unable to stop the invasion of all kinds of insects.”
” Therefore, some mechanical formations are simply arranged in the Lingzhi Garden to block the intrusion of monks or water beasts. On weekdays, monks from the Zhang family patrol.” “
This is the protective measure of Shuize Lingtao.”
Hearing this. When the white-haired old man said this, Lu Xuan and the others nodded to show their understanding.
“Does the Zhang family have any living insects on hand?”
Lu Xuan asked Zhang Yutang.
The old man called a middle-aged monk who was an intermediate Qi practitioner behind him, asked a few questions, and shook his head in denial.
“All the bugs that were discovered were dealt with on the spot, and no one was left alive.”
“If Fellow Daoist Lu wants to capture a live bug, you can ask Cheng Ning to take you to try it in the Spiritual Planting Garden.
He often comes here. If you play in the plantation garden, you will know which areas are most likely to have bugs.”
“That’s troublesome.”
Lu Xuan and Senior Sister Yao said something, and then led by a handsome young man, they entered the peach forest. deep.
“Senior Lu, are we going to catch a live insect now?”
On the way, a look of curiosity appeared on Zhang Chengning’s delicate face.
“That’s right, we can’t find anything wrong with the water peach. It’s best to catch a living insect and see if we can learn anything.”
Lu Xuan said to the young man in a gentle tone.
Of course, his main purpose is not this. To capture the zerg, he wants to master the detailed status of the zerg through breeding, so as to make targeted responses.
“There should be that kind of strange insect hiding in this area.”
The handsome young man Zhang Chengning took Lu Xuan deep into the peach forest and pointed forward.
When Lu Xuan heard this, he nodded and walked quietly to a water peach.
The leaves on the peach tree swayed gently, as if they were rippling in the water.
His spiritual consciousness gently extended and he searched carefully on the branches and leaves of the spiritual peach.
For a long time, nothing happened.
Lu Xuan had no choice but to change his target and shift his attention to another water peach.
Suddenly, a branch of spiritual peach attacked Lu Xuan like a poisonous snake. He was well prepared and activated his spiritual power, trapping the branch of spiritual peach with a vine-like green spiritual power.
“It looks like this, no wonder it’s almost invisible.”
The strange insect in front of me kept struggling. From the appearance, it was the same as the branches of the peach tree in the water. When it attached to the peach tree, it seemed that the two merged into one. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to detect, and the shape of the strange insect can only be clearly seen when it attempts to attack.
A flash of red light fixed the body of the strange insect on the branch of the spiritual peach.
“Which part of the spiritual peach will these strange insects devour?”
Lu Xuan asked the handsome young man.
“Ah, I remember that the branches of the spiritual peach tree where the strange insect was found were hollow, so it should have swallowed the spiritual peach branches.” “
Okay.”
Lu Xuan cut off a small section of the water peach branch and placed it on the monster Near the insect’s mouth.
Under the influence of the red thread needle, the strange insect regained its composure after struggling for a while, and the patterns on its body changed quietly. If the red thread needle had not remained the same, one might have thought that the strange insect had escaped.
“Senior Lu, what’s the purpose of feeding this strange insect spiritual peach branch?”
“Knowing yourself and your enemy can lead to victory in every battle. Only by understanding the living habits and status of the strange insect can we make the correct response.”
Lu Xuan replied casually, looking intently at the small peach branch placed in front of the strange insect’s mouth.
Soon, the spiritual peach branches disappeared from his eyes little by little, and the strange insect’s figure was still well hidden.
However, Lu Xuan no longer cares about its ability.
His mind was focused on the strange insect, and suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
[Mimoid bugs are first-class alien insects with low reproductive capacity. The eggs are parasitic on spiritual plants. The hatched larvae feed on the branches and leaves of the spiritual plants. As they grow, they will slowly simulate the shape of the parasitic spiritual plants and are extremely difficult to detect. 】
“During its growth, it will simulate the form of a parasitic spiritual plant? It’s interesting.”
Lu Xuan was amazed in his heart, sighing at the strangeness of this pseudomorphic insect.
“It parasitizes on the water peach, and when it grows up, it takes the shape of a peach branch. If it parasitizes on other spiritual plants, it will definitely grow into the shape of the corresponding spiritual plant.” “In a
true sense, it will slowly become yours. Shape.”
Lu Xuan took the half-dead worm and, led by the handsome young man, returned to the crowd.
Senior sister Yao, Yan Ping, and other monks from the Zhang family gathered together, discussing something in low voices.
On the wet ground, there are several pseudo-striped insects placed. At first glance, they look like several branches of peach trees in the water.
“Junior brother Lu, you are back? Did you find anything?”
“I just caught a strange insect, but there is nothing new about anything else.”
Lu Xuan concealed the information he learned and did not tell Senior Sister Yao directly.
“We also caught a few together, and it took a lot of effort.” “
These strange insects are indeed very concealed, so it is difficult to solve the root cause.” “
The main problem now is to confirm the species of the strange insects and understand Detailed information on it, so that you can easily find them or kill them.”
The beautiful woman said calmly.
Lu Xuan and Yan Ping nodded in agreement.
“These strange insects seem to be able to disguise themselves as spiritual plants. Maybe we can find a breakthrough from here.”
Lu Xuan suddenly said.
Although he has mastered the species and survival methods of the worms, he still does not know how to deal with the worms.
He was not in a hurry to inform Senior Sister Yao about the pseudotithids. With such a large-scale insect infestation in the Zhang family, the problem seemed not as simple as it seemed.
“The reproductive capacity of the pseudomorphs is low, so it is difficult to gather a large number of eggs. However, in this Shuizhen peach area, it is obvious that there are a large number of pseudomorphs.” “Then, so many pseudomorphs
are Is it natural, or is it caused by humans?”
Lu Xuan thought to himself on the sidelines that as for solving the problem of insect pests, we have to start with the water peach that is parasitized by the worm.
“Look for an opportunity to dig out a parasitic peach tree to see what the specific problem is and how to solve it.”
