Chapter 139 Trichoroides
Soon, the three got together.
"I observed the growth of some of those Mizusawa spirit peaches. From the outside, there is nothing abnormal."
The ordinary-looking Yan Ping said in a deep voice.
"Indeed, it doesn't appear to be infested by insects at all."
Lu Xuan nodded and agreed.
"Is there a protective formation outside the Zhangjialing Plantation Garden?"
Senior Sister Yao asked Zhang Yutang.
"That's...not realistic."
The white-haired old man shook his head.
"Hundreds of water lake spirit peaches are planted in this swamp, covering an area of tens of acres. The low-level protective formation is completely unable to cover such a large area of spirit planting garden."
"For a high-grade formation, with the financial resources and strength of the Zhang family, there is no way to get a formation of that level."
"In addition, the Mizusawa Spirit Peach grows in such a special environment. The mud swamp and lake are connected everywhere, and it is completely unable to block the invasion of various insects."
"Therefore, in the Lingzhi Garden, some mechanism arrays were simply arranged to block the invasion of monks or water beasts. On weekdays, there are monks from the Zhang family patrolling."
"This is Mizusawa Lingtao's protective measures."
Hearing what the white-haired old man said, Lu Xuan and the others nodded, expressing their understanding.
"Does the Zhang family have any Zergs that are still alive?"
Lu Xuan asked Zhang Yutang.
The old man called a middle-aged monk who was practicing Qi training behind him, asked a few words, and shook his head in denial.
"The zerg that were discovered were all dealt with on the spot, and no one was left alive."
"If Fellow Daoist Lu wants to capture a live Zerg, you can ask Cheng Ning to take you to try it in the Lingzhi Garden.
He often comes to play in Lingzhi Garden, so he has a better understanding of which areas are most likely to have zerg. "
"That's troublesome."
After Lu Xuan and Senior Sister Yao said a word, they entered the depths of the peach forest under the leadership of a handsome young man.
"Senior Lu, are we going to catch a live Zerg now?"
On the way, Zhang Chengning showed a trace of curiosity on his delicate face.
"That's right, I can't find any problems from the Mizusawa spirit peach. It's best to catch a living zerg and see if I can learn something."
Lu Xuan said to the young man in a gentle manner.
Of course, his main purpose is not here. To capture the Zerg, he wants to grasp the detailed status of the Zerg through breeding, so as to make a targeted response.
"This area should very likely hide that kind of strange insect."
The handsome young man Zhang Chengning led Lu Xuan into the depths of the peach forest, pointed to the front and said.
Hearing the words, Lu Xuan nodded, and quietly walked to a Mizusawa Spirit Peach.
The leaves on the spirit peach swayed slightly, as if the water was rippling.
He stretched his spiritual consciousness slightly, searching carefully on the branches and leaves of the spirit peach.
For a long time, nothing happened.
Lu Xuan had to change his target, and shifted his attention to another Mizusawa Spirit Peach.
Suddenly, a branch of a spirit peach attacked Lu Xuan like a poisonous snake. He had been prepared to run his spiritual power, and a green spiritual power like a wooden vine trapped the branch of the spirit peach.
"It turns out that it looks like this, no wonder it's almost undetectable."
A flash of red light fixed the body of the strange insect on the branch of the spirit peach.
"Which part of the spirit peach will these strange insects devour?"
Lu Xuan asked the handsome young man.
"Ah, I remember that on the spirit peach tree where the strange insect was found, the branches were hollow, so they should devour the branches of the spirit peach."
"good."
Lu Xuan cut off a small branch of the Mizusawa Spirit Peach and placed it near the mouth of the monster.
Under the action of the red thread needle, the strange worm regained its composure after struggling for a while, and the pattern on its body changed quietly. If the red thread needle hadn't remained the same, it might have thought that the strange worm had escaped.
"Senior Lu, what is the purpose of feeding this strange insect spirit peach branch?"
"Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in all battles. Only by understanding the living habits and state of the monster insects, can you make a correct response."
Lu Xuan replied casually, staring intently at the small branch of the spirit peach placed in front of the monster's mouth.
Soon, the branches of the spirit peach disappeared from his eyes bit by bit, and the figure of the strange insect was still well hidden.
However, Lu Xuan no longer cared about its ability.
His mind was concentrated on the strange insect, and suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
【Printoids, first-grade variegated insects, have low reproductive ability. The eggs are parasitic on the spiritual plants. The hatched larvae feed on the branches and leaves of the spiritual plants. When they grow up, they will slowly mimic the form of the parasitic spiritual plants, which is extremely difficult to detect. 】
"During the growth period, it will simulate the form of a parasitic spiritual plant? It's interesting."
Lu Xuan was amazed in his heart, and sighed at the strangeness of this plantain.
"Parasitic on the Mizusawa Spirit Peach, it will take the shape of a branch of the Spirit Peach when it grows up. If it is parasitic on other Spirit Plants, it will definitely grow into the shape of the corresponding Spirit Plant."
"Truly slowly becoming your shape."
Lu Xuan returned to the crowd with the half-dead scorpion under the leadership of the handsome young man.
Senior sister Yao, Yan Ping, and a group of monks from the Zhang family gathered together, discussing something in a low voice.
On the wet ground, there are several snails. At first glance, it looks like several branches of water Zeling peach.
"Junior Brother Lu, you are back? Did you find anything?"
"Only caught a strange bug, and there are no new discoveries."
Lu Xuan concealed the information he had learned, and did not directly tell Senior Sister Yao and the two.
"We also caught a few together, and it took a lot of effort."
"These strange insects are indeed very hidden, so it is difficult to solve them from the root cause."
"The main problem now is to confirm the species of the strange insect and learn its detailed information, so as to find or kill them easily."
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, and perhaps we can find a breakthrough here."
Lu Xuan said suddenly.
Although he has mastered the species and the way of life of the tritium, he still doesn't know how to solve the tritia.
He was not in a hurry to tell Senior Sister Yao about the plantain worm. The Zhang family had such a large-scale pest infestation. The problem seemed to be not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"The reproduction ability of the trichosanthes is low, so it is difficult to gather a large number of eggs, and there are obviously a large number of trichosanthes in this area of the Mizusawa Spirit Peach."
"Then, are so many tritiates naturally occurring, or are they man-made?"
Lu Xuan secretly thought at the side, as for solving the problem of insect infestation, we have to start from the Mizusawa spirit peach parasitized by the plantain.
"Look for an opportunity to dig out a parasitized spirit peach tree to see what the specific problem is and how to solve it."
