After everyone had replenished their water, Mingyue took everyone for a walk around.
If you want to set up camp and rest, you have to choose to camp near a water source, but you cannot camp directly by a stream, especially in tropical rainforests. The climate here is characterized by high temperatures and heavy rainfall all year round, which can easily cause floods and waterlogging disasters.
Moreover, in order to prevent natural disasters such as mudslides and landslides, the available terrain is even more scarce.
The group walked along the stream upstream, when Mingyue discovered new trouble.
Since arriving at this place, there have always been unknown small insects following them. Whenever they get a chance, they will attach themselves to their bodies and suck their blood. Everyone has been swatting them from time to time along the way, but these insects are so small and there are so many of them that their interference has no effect on them.
Seeing that red spots soon appeared on the exposed skin, Mingyue felt that she couldn't go on like this. Who knows if these insects have viruses or bacteria? She had to be on guard against them.
As for how to deal with these small insects, Mingyue's eyes fell on the surrounding vegetation.
You must know that due to the competition between species, there is a rule in nature: every organism coexists and restrains each other, depends on each other, restricts each other, and evolves together.
So since these small insects only appear on this section of the road, there must be something on this section of the road that can restrain them or allow them to survive.
Mingyue calmed down and observed carefully, and soon found a clue.
She found that these small insects always flew out from a kind of small flower with thorns, and there were even densely packed small insects attached to this small flower. Because these small insects were dark green, the small flower seemed to have become a dark green flower when viewed from a distance.
What is very strange is that these small insects only stay on the petals and will not land on the leaves of this plant. The leaves of this plant are also very interesting, with tiny water droplets flashing on them, making them look as if they are sweating.
Mingyue's eyes flashed, and she broke off a leaf of the flower with a branch. She tentatively threw the leaf on a small flower.
At that moment, it was as if water was dropped into an oil pan. All the small insects on the flower immediately flapped their wings and flew away. However, the small insects that had the misfortune of coming into contact with the water droplets on the leaves were paralyzed in an instant and became motionless.
Mingyue's face lit up with joy, this leaf was indeed useful to this little insect.
If she guessed correctly, these small insects were afraid of the water droplets on the leaves. If these water droplets were used to smear the exposed skin, these small insects would definitely stay away.
However, knowing about this is one thing, Mingyue did not dare to touch the leaves rashly. Who knows if these leaves are harmful to humans
Fortunately, there is no shortage of animals in this jungle, and soon a huge chimpanzee appeared.
The chimpanzee looked at the strange intruders with anger in his eyes, and unceremoniously picked up the mud on the ground and threw it at them.
The chimpanzee threw the mud very accurately and quickly, so the replica people who were very close to it suffered and were covered with mud. They were angry but couldn't help patting the mud off their bodies. This action aroused curiosity in the chimpanzee's eyes, and it stopped throwing mud at them and started patting its body like them, and ended up patting the wet mud all over itself.
When the chimpanzee saw that the intruders were all wearing strange things, he seemed to find it very funny. He suddenly jumped in front of a replica and ripped his clothes without hesitation, which frightened the replica so much that he shouted in panic without thinking, "Mingyue, save me."
Perhaps because of the incidents with the giant anaconda and the wolf pack, Mingyue has become like a patron saint in everyone's hearts. Even these new replicas have unconsciously developed the idea of submitting to her. So at this critical moment, this replica would not hesitate to shout out the name that was spoken by Ales and the others.
Mingyue was not nervous, because she had long seen that the chimpanzee was just having fun and had no real intention of hurting anyone. However, pulling someone's clothes was indeed a bit rude, so she punished it and asked it to try the insect repellent for them!
A hint of cunning flashed in Mingyue's eyes, and she quickly picked up a branch from the ground and threw it at the chimpanzee.
The chimpanzee was not angry. It seemed to think that Mingyue wanted to play with it. It didn't care about the replica's clothes and came to find Mingyue with the branch.
This time, Ales and the others reacted quickly and stood beside Mingyue, wanting to help Mingyue deal with the huge alien.
"No, don't do anything, just watch." Mingyue tilted her head slightly and said softly.
Alles and others were stunned for a moment, and then stood aside to watch.
They are the people who know Mingyue's personality best. Every decision she makes and every word she says must have her reasons, and they just need to obey her.
Soon, the chimpanzee came to Mingyue, waved the branch, and then handed it to Mingyue, as if asking her to hit it with the branch.
Mingyue: …
Mingyue took the branch, but did not continue to hit the chimpanzee. Instead, she used the branch to scrape the leaves of the small flower back and forth. After making sure that the leaves were covered with juice, she handed the branch to the chimpanzee who was full of curiosity.
The chimpanzee didn't suspect anything and simply took the juicy branch and poked the small flower like Mingyue did.
Mingyue couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. After seeing that the chimpanzees were behaving normally, she knew that the leaves would not cause any harm to them and could be used.
Mingyue squatted down and wiped the fine water droplets on a leaf with her hand. She felt a cool and refreshing feeling, as if the high temperature of the tropical rainforest had subsided.
It is probably because these tiny water droplets are too cool and the small insects cannot stand the cold, so they are restrained so tightly.
Mingyue's eyes lit up instantly, what a good stuff!
She pushed the chimpanzee next to her, determined not to let it continue causing trouble.
The chimpanzee looked at her blankly, not understanding why she didn't want to play again.
Mingyue looked at it like this and inexplicably felt like it was bullying the weak.
After thinking for a while, she took out two bananas from her bag and handed them over.
The chimpanzee took it and sniffed it. It found the smell very sweet and liked it very much. So it focused on studying what the gray-yellow thing was.
