That's probably because after she planted her tree house, she didn't cut down the surrounding tree houses.
So, when the jungle grew lush again, the crowns of these trees became connected to Zeng Tao's tree house.
Without sunlight as a buffer zone around her tree house, it was naturally occupied by a large number of insects, just like other trees.
but……
Looking at the insects that were now trying to fly out of the jungle, Xu Xin's heart sank.
The main tree house has sunlight as a 100-meter isolation zone during the day, so it is not afraid of insect attacks, but it is not at night!
These bugs are likely to attack his tree house at night!
I didn’t expect that this hot summer would be so miserable!
High temperatures during the day and swarms of insects at night!
but……
If I close the windows, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
After all, when the sun comes out tomorrow morning, most of the bugs around the tree house will naturally be eliminated.
Just as he was thinking this, suddenly, a thin, strange sound began to come from the jungle.
“Crunch, crunch…”
“Crunch, crunch…”
The sound became louder and louder, gradually becoming comparable to the sound of insects!
"Ah! These insects on the tree trunks are gnawing at them!" Lou Feier suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the tree trunks in the jungle.
Xu Xin looked closely.
really!
Each of those insects lying on the tree trunk was shaking and moving slightly!
“Crunch, crunch…”
The sound came from all directions of the jungle!
Several trees crawling with insects began to have their bark gnawed off at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the trunks were exposed in a few seconds!
Then it was eaten away at a rapid speed, becoming thinner and thinner!
Immediately afterwards, groups of flying insects in the air suddenly rushed towards the crowns of the trees that were being eaten, and began to frantically gnaw on the leaves that had just grown out!
"This...!" Xu Xin's pupils shrank suddenly.
These bugs eat trees!
That will definitely cause damage to the tree house!
The other people present also thought of this problem, and everyone's expression changed.
“My tree house!”
Zeng Tao suddenly exclaimed.
"My tree house is getting eaten!"
really.
I'm afraid her tree house can't be saved.
But it doesn't matter.
As long as the main tree house is not dead, the parasitic tree house can be reborn.
"There's nothing important in your tree house, right?" Xu Xin asked.
"Um... no." Zeng Tao shook her head. "The important things are all in my backpack. Does a blue-level bed count as something important?"
"Not really." Lou Fei'er said, "We have plenty of blue-grade wood. Don't worry about your tree house."
"Oh, okay." Zeng Tao also thought that her tree house could be reborn, so she didn't mind. "But we can't just leave these bugs alone, right? Won't they fly over and gnaw at the main tree house? Our heavy crossbows can't protect against these bugs!"
This is also what Xu Xin is considering now.
The swarm...
what to do?
"Bang!"
At this time, a tree was finally knocked down by the insects crawling on the trunk. Then, the insects on the ground quickly climbed up the fallen tree and began to gnaw even faster!
The insect that was originally crawling on the tree trunk began to move quickly towards another tree, climbed up this tree, and started gnawing again!
The speed of chewing is so fast!
There must be a way to prevent the tree house from being eaten like this!
...There is a way, although it is not very reliable, but you can give it a try!
He immediately took out a torch from his backpack, rubbed the head of the torch on the ground, produced sparks, and then ignited it directly!
In his hand, the flame and light of the torch illuminated the surroundings.
fire.
This is the method Xu Xin came up with.
Insects generally have phototaxis.
They fly and crawl towards the light.
The electric mosquito repellent devices on Earth rely on this principle.
Sure enough, when the torch was lit, the insects in the jungle were immediately attracted, and a large number of flying insects wanted to fly towards Xu Xin!
"ah!"
"Throw away the torch quickly!" Lou Feier immediately jumped back two steps and shouted.
Xu Xin immediately inserted the torch into the cracks in the dry ground and immediately stepped back.
Sure enough, those flying insects flew towards the torches one by one!
Then rushed into the fire and was burned to ashes!
Despite this, the surrounding flying insects still flew towards the nearby light!
efficient!
Xu Xin looked back at his tree house.
His tree house has electricity, and at this moment, the tree house is brightly lit!
Probably because of the lack of sunlight during the day, most of the insects did not dare to rush towards the tree house for the time being, but they were getting closer and closer to the tree house.
There must be no light in the tree house tonight!
Also, he needed to set up a circle of fire around the tree house again, just like he did in the previous battle to defend the tree house to isolate the ant colony's attack.
This way, perhaps the bugs won’t notice the tree house!
