Chronicles of Primordial Wars
Chapter 634: Night Nights
By the time Shao Xuan arrived at the farmland, OH and the person in charge of guarding the farmland were already there tonight.
Those people had tools in their hands, in addition to their hunting weapons such as knives and axes, tools dedicated to guarding farmland, such as vine-woven meshes, long rod netting, and giant * * * * * *. These are also prepared on weekdays, but are mostly used only during the day and less at night.
“Ready?” Shao Xuan asked.
“Well, just wait till you get started.” O.
The farm guards who were called here were still confused. They did not know what was going on when O. called them here, but they were confused, and they would still do as the elders told them.
Shao Xuan looked around and asked one of the guards: "Where do you get the most bugs at night on weekdays? ”
“Which side is the most?” The guard thought about it and lifted his finger to show Shao Xuan, "right there. ”
All the more precious crops are grown there, most of them from dwellings, and they are also close to places where thousands of grains of gold are grown.
“Then go over there and try.” Shao Xuan passed with the water moonstone in his hand.
Two rounds of the moon in the sky, soon after coming out, were once again covered by clouds, and the moonlight on the ground quickly disappeared.
Insects screaming somewhere paused by the disappearance of the moon and continued to scream.
It's dark around here, but with the familiarity of people with this farmland, it doesn't happen that you accidentally walk into a ditch. And, although it's dark around, with their sight, even if they can't see it at night, the burning fire on the ground gives them a view of the surrounding landscape.
Shao Xuan did not start at the edge of the farmland, but a short distance from the farmland, poured out the "inferior quality" of the water moonstone in the animal leather bag, stacked together and put it in a circle.
“The torch goes out, everyone back off.” Shao Xuan said.
The people who followed them around did what Shao Xuan said and put out all the torches they had.
Because of the Kwafu banquet, many of the patrol and guard fighters here are very busy. Water moonstone is rarely used for lighting on weekdays. Although they do not think that a Kwafu banquet can eat their own tribe into poverty, they feel that saving money is always good. So from the day we knew we were going to prepare the banquet, we all agreed to save money. In the tribe, when we can use the torch, we definitely don't need the water moonstone. Even now that the Feast of the Flaming River is over, they haven't immediately changed the habit of saving money.
So when they came to ask them earlier, they couldn't tell if the water moonstone was attracting insects, because they had been using torches lately.
The surrounding area was all dark and there was no light at all, so that the place where the water moonstone was piled was very prominent.
Each water moonstone is dark, dozens of pieces are clustered together, and the brightness increases a lot, even though the brightness is still not comparable to the quality water moonstone, but it wins more, integrates into groups, and the area of light becomes larger.
After leaving, Shao Xuan converged and minimized his presence.
Others already had O. 's orders to know how to do it, and when Shao Xuan and O. hid their breath, they soon followed. But they all stared curiously at the group that placed the water moonstone.
What good are those dark water moonstones? Fishing bugs?
It was quiet, there were hidden sounds coming from the hills inhabited by the tribes and bugs in the nearby woods, but no one was paying attention to them.
Shao Xuan listened carefully to the surrounding voices.
In the farmland, there are some artificially excavated gutters, and the water is moving.
The night breeze blew, rubbing between the crop leaves in the farmland, making a murky noise.
Mm-hmm.
Shao Xuan slightly sided his head and listened carefully to the movement coming from one direction.
It was like a sound coming from a farm.
Shut up... Shut up...
A beating sound came this way.
The sky also has the sound of wings flapping fast, and those are flying bugs moving at night.
An elongated figure appeared on the rock stack where the water moonstone was placed, and the black figure was quite visible in the dark glowing water moonstone stack.
It works!
Shao Xuan was delighted.
When I saw that figure, I kept staring at the soldiers guarding the farmland over there, eyebrows raised high.
They can't see it completely, but if they only see that figure, they'll know what the bug is. They are one of the most troubling insects, because they often move on the ground, underground during the day and come out of the ground at night, and they are unprotected, unless an underground fence is added to the farmland.
And they're not afraid of burning insect repellents, they can't get rid of them with smoke, and they hate itching every morning when they see more wormholes in the leaves on the farm.
I didn't expect those glowing water moonstones that were there to attract those troublesome bugs!
Almost simultaneously with that bug, there are some other nocturnal flying bugs flying in the air, and more and more.
Soon, I guess I felt like there was no danger around me, and all the other insects hidden in the trees, on the grass, on the farmland, were flying this way, as if something was attracting them here.
More and more shadows are covered on the water moonstone, and the big, small, long, short, wingless, beating flights begin to concentrate over there, and even fight to capture the highlights.
Shao Xuan lowered his voice when the water moonstone pile was almost completely covered by insects and the air was filled with flapping wings: "Action! ”
At one time, the arrows of the people who cut the net usually rush over and whistle a few times, putting those dense insect nets in the air that gather the numbness into the net pockets, and beat them down.
Boom!
Flying bugs in the net pockets were slapped.
Bugs on the ground, on the other hand, are beaten straight by people with giant * * * * * *, at which point the closer they get to the water moonstone pile, the harder it is to escape the range of being shot dead.
When it was all over, Shao Xuan took a wooden stick and looked at all kinds of insects through the light of the water moonstone. The bugs on the ground, some of them not flattened, have lost their mobility and cannot go far.
Shao Xuan was about to go away, and he was still going downstream along the Flame River, so they might encounter insects similar to these, and he wanted to see what they had.
Shao Xuan picked up several insects and put them in a cloth belt that he brought in. The ones he picked out were complete and rarely seen during the week. Some of them looked fierce, poisonous needles or with poisonous teeth. Their protective colors were easy to ignore. If they were not caught at night, even if they were seen during the day, they would not have been discovered.
All of this has to be seen by the people who will be on the road, so that they can be prepared.
O. has been cleared of the place, sweeping the slapped corpses together, waiting for the people who will take care of the farmland tomorrow to see if they can make fertilizer.
“How's it going?” O. asked Shao Xuan, looking happy.
Can you not be happy? Knowing these almost scrap water moonstones and the ability to attract insects like this, while not necessarily solving the underlying problem, can at least mitigate the hazards of insects on farmland at night. Effective, that's enough.
“It's okay, it's just limited. Not all of them are necessarily crop-eating insects.” Shao Xuando, "and if there were no clouds at night, these would not necessarily work well and would be more effective with premium water moonstones. ”
“Of course I know that, but crop-eating insects still make up the majority. As for moonlight, look at the sky, there may be clouds these past few days at night, even if it's just for a little while.” It's better to be prepared for this than to waste the water moonstone in vain without asking how well it works and how effective it is. A bug can't catch it at night on the farm.
“Then go back to the tribe tomorrow and get some of this water moonstone?” O'Hara.
“Yes.”
This is also a trap for nighttime insects.
The next day, O. went to the other shore to find the leader of the tribe.
Knowing that Flaming Horn needs those “defeats”, the leader of the clan did not say anything, and dragged out several large bags to O. Even if O. wanted to convert the price to them, the businessmen firmly refused. For the people of the clan, these are really useless. They are also wasted in the warehouse. They can't be sold at very high prices. They are all given to O.
However, OH did not want everything. He took nearly two thirds and left one third for the people of the Xiao tribe. By the way, he told the people of the Xiao tribe what happened last night, which Shao Xuan agreed.
The people of the tribe are now short of food. Although they don't like eating insects very much, they can smell a lot of insects flying out of the mountainous forests across the river. Moreover, those insects, who have started flying across the river, are active here. It's just that the people of the tribe live too close to the pond where the spark was placed. Even if the original spark no longer exists, some of the smells in the pond remain, and those insects dare not fly close.
“How dare you!” The crowd feels very novel. They have had the water moonstone for so long that they have not noticed it.
“You can try it a little farther, maybe a little more.” O. suggested.
“Thanks for letting me know! ”
The people of the Kui tribe were very grateful to the people of Flaming Horn who could actually teach their experience and skills. They let the patrol try it that night. They really caught some, and they were roasted by the patrol in the evening.
And on the flame horn side, the water moonstone, which was originally waste, was divided. At night, on the farmland, when the moon is covered by clouds, the sound of crackling will be heard shortly.
“Hey, a little lighter! Don't make it all fertilizer. It's a whole lot bigger, see if you can eat it!” Someone swayed the net and shouted.
“I know!” with the giant * * * * * * made of vine wood, busy shooting and responding to voices.
Once they're done, they'll clean the floor, pick out the big bugs that are still intact, eat what they can, leave what they can't eat and make fertilizer for people who don't know the bugs, and they'll try it carefully. Eating insects is nothing to those who flame horns.
This is the case in several places around farmland.
For a long time since then, the guards of the farmland at the Horn of Flames have had an extra activity - guarding night snacks such as water moonstones.
