According to what they said, the fire spear plant, after a failure, will not come again in a short period of time, and their "blood" will also prevent some creatures from approaching, so this tree hole is still safe for the time being. , even a lot safer than in the past few days.
It is speculated that the two fire spears are for the green thief, and the tower did not waste time. He took a few people to the swamp to get some mud, and wrapped a layer of mud on the stone box containing the green thief, and then used a kind of mud. It is wrapped with fragrant big leaves and tied with straw ropes, which can block the smell of most green thieves.
The smell of green thieves is difficult for humans to smell, but some plants and animals can perceive it in other ways. It's good to take protective measures.
Now everyone no longer underestimates Shao Xuan, even if they still think that setting traps is a small way, but it is undeniable that this method has brought them benefits, and together, everyone's attitude towards Shao Xuan is much better. Perhaps Shao Xuan was really protected by the ancestors so that they could find the green thief. At the same time, Shao Xuan's ability should not be ignored. At least in the eyes of everyone, so far, Shao Xuan has been much more successful than most of the newcomers in the tribe.
After resting for a while, the tower continued to look around with some people to see if they could find a few more green thief seedlings. And Shao Xuan followed Tuo He and Ni Ni to climb the tree.
The tree hole is in the middle of the trunk of the giant tree, and further up, the crown part with dense branches and leaves is occupied by various birds. Although it is not a big bird, the largest wingspan is only about one meter, but it is better than the number. , so the advance team generally does not go up to provoke them.
However, due to the melee of the fire spears, many birds were frightened, and those who were in the nest during the day were basically scared away. Therefore, after returning to the tree hole, Shao Xuan followed Tuohe and Nia to climb the canopy to copy the bird's nest. Picked up a lot of eggs.
When eating bird eggs in this place, Tuo and the others all eat them raw, and all kinds of bird eggs are not rejected.
Shao Xuan took out three eggs from a bird's nest. The strange thing was that in the same bird's nest, the three eggs looked different. In terms of size, the big one was a little bigger than an adult's fist, while the small one was bigger than an adult's fist. It was similar to the eggs Shao Xuan had seen in his previous life. In terms of color, there are three eggs, one purple, one with blue and white spots, and one khaki with some circle-like patterns on it.
"Can you eat these?" Shao Xuan asked.
Nii Nii looked back and said, "Yes, I've eaten them all."
"Why are the eggs in the same bird's nest different?" Shao Xuan asked, carefully placing the eggs in the animal skin bag filled with leaves.
"Maybe those birds stole it from somewhere else." Ni Nii didn't care about the tunnel.
"Steal?" Shao Xuan was surprised.
"Of course, with their size, can they lay such eggs? That's probably the number of birds in your nest." Nibbler gestured with his hand, "with such a small bird, he will lay several fist-sized birds at once. Eggs, how is that possible? But the bird's claws are long and slender, so it must be very convenient to steal eggs."
"The eggs on this are all stolen?" Shao Xuan was surprised.
"All." Ni Nii affirmed.
It is really like clusters, birds are divided into groups. These gangs are all egg-stealing birds, no matter the species, they all get together, and they are not afraid that the eggs in the nest will be stolen by other birds.
Come to think of it, these birds should all have their own spawning grounds, be more secluded, or breed in other more special ways.
When digging out the eggs, Shao Xuan also found that there were broken eggs in many bird nests, remaining egg whites in the eggs, and larvae in some eggs that had already been formed, but had been pecked to pieces. The birds in the tree canopy stole the eggs back as food reserves.
After filling the bag with him, he went back to the tree hole.
They searched for the tower for a long time, but they didn't find another green thief seedling, which was probably robbed by other creatures. Judging from the performance of the fire spear, the green thief is indeed very popular. Fortunately, Shao Xuan set up the trap to catch the green thief at night, and when he got up early in the morning, the green thief was not taken away.
At the same time, it can also be speculated that the creatures that are interested in green thieves may be those that are active during the day, while the plants and animals that are active at night are not very interested in green thieves. In any case, I was very lucky to be able to catch the green thief this time, and to find a few green thief seedlings.
"Boss, will this seedling die soon after it's torn off?" Aso said, looking at the turquoise seedlings in Ta's hand.
Aso said this, others thought of it too. They have also encountered similar things in the past. After the seedling is torn off, no matter how careful it is or wrap it with soil, it will die quickly, which is not as long as the adult can maintain.
"It's really possible."
"How about we eat the seedlings? Don't eat and waste."
"Yes, yes, what if you wake up tomorrow and find that all these seedlings are dead? After all, the seedlings are not big green thieves, and they don't last long."
The crowd gathered around to discuss. If it were other plants in the past, they would not be so nervous, but now it is a green thief. It has not been encountered for many years, and the death of any seedling is also a great loss.
In the end, Ta Clapper decided to divide all the six green thieves seedlings in his hand first. He also wanted to wait for the twenty members of the other team to meet before dividing, but he already felt that the vitality of the seedlings in his hands began to drain rapidly.
Ta first took half a leaf and ate it. He is the strongest here and the leader of the team. He plans to try it himself first. If there is no problem, let the other members eat it.
Everyone stared at the tower, watching him eat the small half of the leaf, their eyes were reluctant to blink, for fear of missing any detail.
"How is it? How does the boss feel?" Aso asked quickly.
Ta felt it carefully and shook his head, "Except for some physical recovery, I don't feel anything."
Everyone was disappointed, but even so, everyone shared the seedlings. Shao Xuan got a leaf, which was more than the weight of the others, but no one complained, and Shao Xuan deserved more credit than them combined. If it wasn't for the rules handed down by the tribal hunting team, if the hunted things had to be shared by everyone, Shao Xuan could take the green thief as his own, just like when Shao Xuan hunted the thorns black wind in the last hunt, he belonged to to their hunting results.
Therefore, everyone knew in their hearts that, after all, they took a lot of advantage, and they also planned to help Shao Xuan hunt more food on the way back.
As the sun went down, not many birds flew back to their nests, and half of the birds were chattering on the trees, and the surroundings were much quieter.
Those birds have other nests, and when one place is damaged, they hide in another, and come back when they calm down.
Before night fell, let Shao Xuan set up a set around him to see if he could set something up at night.
The rope connecting the white fur is gone, and it can only be replaced with a thin vine and a grass rope. However, Shao Xuan has a feeling that there is probably nothing to do tonight.
And when the night fell, everyone was uncharacteristically, not preparing to sleep and rest, but crowded at the entrance of the cave.
"How do I feel that it does have some effect?" Tuo said, looking at an inconspicuous little protrusion about ten meters away from the entrance of the cave.
"I feel it too!"
"Although I can't see clearly, it does look a little farther than before."
"Really! This is just a seedling. If you eat a big one, will you be able to move freely in the dark?"
Even the tower can't move freely in the dark night, and its vision is not as good as those of the beasts with night vision, and its movement will inevitably be restricted.
The effect of the green thief seedlings made everyone happy, but everyone would not eat alone. They would bring the green thief in the stone box back to the tribe intact and hand it over to the witch. This made Shao Xuan admire Wu even more in his heart. Even in the face of huge temptations, these people were able to stick to their principles. This is the result of witch training.
It was very quiet that night. Everyone was dreaming, and the night watchmen were also paying attention to the movement under the tree, hoping to catch some more green thieves.
Shao Xuan slept well this night, but he did not dream, nor did he dream of those flowing greens again.
The next day, before the sun had fully come out, everyone rushed down the tree to see Shao Xuan's noose. In addition, other people who knew how to set up a set of techniques also set up a few. However, today everyone disappointed.
Nothing was put on.
The ground that was full of red liquid yesterday has been covered by a green patch, and the grass is densely packed up to the knees, and it sprang up overnight. The "blood" of the fire spears became their sustenance.
