Chapter 130 Monkey Farming

This proves that as long as the radish seedlings can germinate, they can still grow smoothly even in extremely cold weather.

Jiang Si hurried back and told Jiang Linhai the news, "Dad, the radish seedlings have grown, but they were pulled out by Xue Hou."

Jiang Linhai smiled and said, "Pull them out if you want. We don't need these radishes." Then he suddenly thought and asked, "Hey, if these radishes can grow in low temperatures, why are there only a few of them near the hot springs?"

Jiang Si laughed and said, "Dad, you forgot. It's so cold that all the bees and butterflies are frozen to death. How can there be any insects to help pollinate the radishes? It's a blessing that they survived until we found them."

Suddenly, Qin Shen said, "The radishes by the hot spring look like they were planted by monkeys."

Jiang Si was stunned for a moment, and recalled the neatly arranged giant radishes in his mind. What Qin Shen said was actually true.

She speculated, "Radishes only grow near hot springs because they fear the cold and cannot leave hot springs. Furthermore, the temperature around hot springs is higher, so they won't grow seedlings. Therefore, the radishes planted randomly will have a higher germination rate."

"But with the temperature rising these days, the monkeys have become more active and are no longer particularly dependent on the hot springs. So they came over and dug up the radish seedlings around us."

When Jiang Linhai and the others heard this, they were all baffled.

"It sounds a bit scary that monkeys have human intelligence."

They are numerous and reproduce quickly, and they may become a huge threat to their survival in the future.

Thinking of those densely packed rats, mosquitoes, eels, crocodiles and spiders, everyone's heart was filled with shadows.

Jiang Sidao: "This is just a guess, or it could be a coincidence."

Qin Shen asked, "Do you want to go and take a look?"

To be honest, knowing that monkeys could farm, she was really curious about what other skills they had.

As soon as Qin Shen mentioned it, Jiang Si happily accepted it.

Jiang Linhai frowned, "You better be careful. The monkeys in Rise of the Planet of the Apes are ruthless and kill without blinking an eye."

Jiang Si waved his hand and said, "Okay, we'll go and come back quickly, don't worry."

Qin Shen carried Jiang Si on his back and arrived at the hot spring pool at lightning speed in a short while.

After the temperature rose, it was obvious that the hot spring pool that had a layer of ice on its surface had melted.

The beautiful colorful Jade Pool looks like the Queen Mother's. If the water temperature wasn't too high, Jiang Si would have wanted to step into the misty hot spring and take a dip.

Qin Shen turned his head and looked at her, "Hold on to me."

Jiang Si stuck to him like an octopus, and whoosh, they were shot out like rockets.

Jiang Si was shocked. Qin Shen's jumping ability seemed to have no limit.

Soon, they stood on a particularly large ancient tree.

A group of snow avian came into view. Some of the higher-level ones were leisurely soaking in the hot springs, some were defending like guards, and some were eating, and did not notice them.

Jiang Si lowered his breath and whispered in Qin Shen's ear, "You have good eyesight, did you see what they were eating?"

There aren't that many radishes, and there are limited fish in the hot spring pool.

There are quite a few monkeys in the group, and Jiang Si is very curious about what kind of food they have.

Qin Shen said, "Bugs."

"insect?"

As soon as he finished speaking, in order to allow Jiang Si to see more clearly, Qin Shen jumped onto another ancient tree.

This time Jiang Si saw clearly that the snow monkeys would dig up the snow and lick the surface with their tongues.

The insect sucks blood, and the moment it sucks blood, it becomes food for the snow monster.

Jiang Si was shocked. "This kind of bug shouldn't be able to get into the human body, right?"

She had never seen this kind of insect in her previous life.

Moreover, there must be enough soil in this place to feed the monkeys.

Qin Shen said, "We didn't find these insects when we were digging the foundation. They must need to live in a specific environment, perhaps near hot springs, or under these ancient trees. The roots of the ancient trees will provide them with a shelter."

Jiang Si frowned and said, "Let's catch a few bugs and take a look at them."

"good."

Qin Shen jumped down with her, and the monkeys were frightened and fled in all directions.

Jiang Si squatted down and placed a piece of bloody pork where the monkeys were licking.

Suddenly, several fleshy, white and tender insects like silkworm pupae and leeches attached themselves to it.

Jiang Si used pliers to clamp them into a glass jar and sealed it, then he and Qin Shen quickly left the place.

Seeing them coming back, Jiang Linhai stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Are there any other strange things about those monkeys?"

Jiang Si was afraid they would worry, so he said, "No, they're just a little smarter than ordinary monkeys, and their social hierarchy is more distinct. To survive, they learned to farm, which is about the same as them learning to crack walnuts with stones."

With this said, people's concerns about monkey mutations are somewhat reduced.

Jiang Si used the excuse of having something to do and pulled Qin Shen back to the icebreaker first.

There was a laboratory on the ship that specialized in studying Antarctic fossil organisms. They caught two half-grown chickens and brought them in, then picked a bug and put it on one of the chickens.

The white worm sucked the chicken's blood at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its body became bloated.

Fortunately, after it had sucked enough, it released the suction cup, fell onto the laboratory table, and curled up into a ball.

Jiang Si grabbed another chicken, cut a hole in its back, and put a bug on it.

The worm sucked the blood from the opening and continued to drill into the wound.

Jiang Si's face changed drastically. If this kind of insect found a wound on the human body, it would continuously drill into the human body and suck blood repeatedly.

This situation can lead to the occurrence of various disease infections.

What’s even more terrifying is that if several insects crawl in at the same time, your life can be in danger in an instant.

Jiang Si looked at Qin Shen, "If it gets into a person's body, is there any good way to get it out?"

Qin Shen shook his head, "Surgery is the only option."

It would be fine if we didn't come into contact with these insects, but we are afraid that they would multiply in large numbers and penetrate every pore.

Jiang Si sprayed the remaining insects with insecticide, but they curled up and refused to die.

Unless you crush them or eat them like monkeys.

Qin Shen saw her anxiety and comforted her: "Monkeys like to eat it, so we can raise a few more monkeys to prevent these insects."

Jiang Si suddenly raised his head and said, "Yes, the best way to eliminate it has already been known."

She actually got so obsessed with it that she wanted to biologically destroy the insects.

Jiang Si became a little worried again, "What if these monkeys have parasitic eggs of these insects in their bodies?"

Qin Shen said, "I'll go catch one and check it out."

Jiang Si suddenly said, "Let's see if chickens and ducks eat these insects."

Jiang Si put the insects in front of the chickens and ducks. When they saw the insects, it was like seeing a delicious meal. They scrambled for the insects and swallowed them in one gulp.

Qin Shen immediately took two chickens and a duck to check the film to see if the worms in its body were still alive.
