When everyone was immersed in the "green thief" and "night vision ability", Shao Xuan carefully observed the trap he set up yesterday.
In fact, there was a lot of gum on that tree, but not much that satisfied the trap adhesion. Shao Xuan found that the adhesion of the gum flowing from different places on the same tree was also different, and cutting the bark only got a little sticky. The glue I smeared around the lasso, and only made two lasses.
A layer of moss and grass was shoveled off the ground when everyone cleaned up the bugs yesterday, so the tree where they rested was very "clean" and smelled of the bugs smoked yesterday, so many animals would avoid it.
Only now, Shao Xuan found that there were traces of gum in some places on the ground. The tree he cut yesterday had a lot of gum, but the viscosity was not enough. There are traces of being dragged along some gum edges next to the tree, apparently something stepped on.
The soldiers of the hunting party were not touched, otherwise there would be obvious footprints.
After thinking for a while, Shao Xuan looked around and set his eyes on a plant next to it. The tall tree was full of large flowers, and when the wind blew, some pollen could be seen falling.
"Boss, I want to go and pick a flower." Shao Xuan asked for instructions. This is what the tower has said, and you have to ask him for instructions in everything you do, and you are not allowed to act at will.
Tower looked at Shao Xuan and said, "Yes."
In the past, the tower would not allow Shao Xuan to pick flowers. This behavior seemed too boring to him, but now, he felt that Shao Xuan probably found something.
Shao Xuan climbed up to the tree, broke it, but was unable to fold the flower down, so he could only cut it with a stone knife, then held the flower holder and asked Tuo to help catch it below.
After cutting down two flowers one after another, Shao Xuan got down from the tree.
Tuo, who caught the flower, had a lot of pollen from this big flower on his body. There was nothing he could do. There was too much pollen from this flower.
"Ah Xuan, what do you want this for?" Tuo asked.
"I want to see if there are any traces on the ground." Shao Xuan said.
"trace?"
The people surrounding the green thief also looked at Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan held the receptacle, tilted the flower to the ground, shook his hand, and the orange-red pollen was sprinkled.
Everyone saw Shao Xuan hugging the flowers around the gum-flowing tree, shaking here and patting there, and soon a layer of orange-red pollen was sprinkled on the ground under his feet.
After spraying the pollen, Shao Xuan found another suitable leaf and fanned it like a fan.
A layer of pollen that fell on the ground was blown away, but some remained.
The paw prints composed of orange-red pollen could be vaguely seen, just like the "feet" of the green thief bound there.
Looking at the footprints on the ground, the tower raised his head and said to the crowd, "Do the same, especially where there is gum."
The tree that flows gum is not the only one that Shao Xuan came into contact with. When the tower was investigating the surrounding area yesterday, he saw several trees, and there was gum flowing to the ground around each tree, and the range was relatively wide.
As soon as the tower gave an order, the flowers that bloomed in the surrounding area in the early morning were harmed by everyone, and they were picked off to shake the pollen.
For a time, pollen and leaves flew together in the forest.
Fortunately, there is no danger around here.
After a long while, the pollen was shaken and blown, but the crowd fell silent.
On the ground, where there is gum, there are many footprints, because in the woods, those "footprints" are not obvious, and even the outline of the three toes cannot be seen, but everyone knows that they are the same footprints as before, and they all face in the same direction.
There are many dense, orange-red "footprints", not to mention places where there is no gum or there are many fallen leaves and weeds are denser and cannot be displayed by pollen.
Obviously, such a huge night marching army passed under the tree where they rested last night, but the night watchmen did not hear their footsteps, except for the one trapped by Shao Xuan's trap.
Tower has been hunting in the advance team for so many years, but he has never seen such a night march composed of plants.
Green thief, silent at night.
The reason why the green thief is not listed on the animal skin roll is because it is too difficult to find, and there may be great danger. He still gave up this tempting goal, so on the animal skin scroll he painted later, some extremely hard-to-find plants such as green thieves were removed.
In the past 100 years, no advance team has seen the green thief. If Ta often listened to his grandfather and some veteran soldiers with high status in the tribe, he might not be able to link this to the green thief. Yan, the green thief has always been just a legend, and I have always envied the ancestors who had found the green thief.
It's just, I didn't think... I didn't expect to be able to catch one today! !
Although he was caught by Shao Xuan's trap, and although Ta also knew that his face was slapped, he felt it was worth seeing the green thief.
The tower's voice was harsh, "The green thief walks at night... The green thief walks at night! It's really a green thief!!"
"Boss, let's quickly untie the noose and put it away, for fear of being robbed by something else."
"That's right! I'll go to the tree hole to get the wooden box!"
"Would a wooden box work? Would you like to use a stone box?"
"Do you want to take it all?"
"How about just one? Have you cut it?"
"I don't know if the green thief can take it away. What if it withered away as soon as I left?" he muttered.
"Shut up!" The others said in unison.
"However, this set of ropes is too tight, Ah Xuan, how do you untie this set of ropes?" Tuo looked at Shao Xuan who was standing not far away.
However, Shao Xuan did not pay attention to Tuo and them now. He "sees" some things now, which are a little blurry. The surrounding sounds seem to have faded, and the surroundings are quiet.
One, two... ten, one hundred...
Thousands? Tens of thousands? Possibly more.
Those turquoise figures walked in groups in one direction. Compared to the green thief he caught, this group of walking green thieves had "heads", like an upside-down mop. The green thief was actually about the same height as Shao Xuan when he stood up. They were like thin bamboo poles, quietly walking through the woods.
"A Xuan?"
"Hey, Ah Xuan, what's wrong with you?"
The people over there were planning to continue shouting, but were stopped by the tower.
"Did he see something?" Aso said.
what did you see
There is nothing around but trees.
Is it an ancestor's apparition
Thinking of this, everyone trembled in unison, but they didn't dare to shout anymore.
"Hey, he's moving!" he whispered.
Over there, Shao Xuan lifted his foot and walked in the same direction as the green thief, but after walking a few steps, he looked towards the trap again.
"Hey, he's come over here!!" nibbled.
"Shut up!" Tower shouted in a low voice.
Shao Xuan originally watched the group of green thieves pass by him, and some went directly through his body, as if he did not exist. Shao Xuan unconsciously raised his feet with them and walked in the same direction, but the group of green thieves was too fast for him to keep up.
Shao Xuan felt as if he had been assimilated, but he quickly broke away from the deep feeling of being assimilated, and looked towards the trap with a feeling.
Others thought that Shao Xuan was looking at them, but in fact, Shao Xuan was looking at the green thief bound by the noose.
After being bound, the green thief found that he could not escape with his whole body, and the "head" was directly separated from the body. It's not dead, it's just like a gecko with a broken tail, a part is thrown away, the main body escapes, and when the time is right, they will grow into a complete individual.
Looking away from the trap, Shao Xuan looked in the direction of the march of the green thief.
He saw a green thief walking up from the bottom in a posture perpendicular to the trunk, with his "toes" attached to the trunk, as if walking on the ground.
When it was about fifteen meters away from the ground, it stretched out its "hand" and stabbed into the trunk of the tree, then quickly pulled it out, and then, just like before, walked down the tree and continued to walk with the army.
what's there
Shao Xuan went over, looked at the tree, and climbed up.
The tower, who had been staring at Shao Xuan, signaled everyone to stay around to prevent any accidents. He wanted to rely on Shao Xuan to find something, but he also promised that the witch would bring people back safely.
Over there, Shao Xuan climbed to the place where the green thief thorn tree, and saw a small hole, and a turquoise bean sprout-like thing protruded from it and protruded.
Looking at the bean sprouts, Shao Xuan grabbed it with his fingers and pulled it out. Don't look at the size of this "bean sprout", it takes a little force to pull it out.
Seeing something the same color as the green thief pulled out by Shao Xuan, Ta's eyes flashed, "The seedling of the green thief?"
The green thief, with a green body, walks at night, steals the life of its tree, and uses it for the reproduction of its own family.
Rumor has it that the night march formed by green thieves will only appear once a year.
Is it really the blessing of the ancestors
