Primitives are stunned

Chapter 268
"What's going on?" Wang Hao asked, pointing to the blood on the ears of wheat.

"The person who sent this grass was injured, and the blood was stained from him." The tribe replied.

"Take me to see him, and this is not called grass, it's called wheat!" Wang Hao said.

The ears of wheat have just begun to turn yellow, and it is not yet the season suitable for harvesting.

During this period of time, I have been concerned about the growth of wheat, and I often send people to check on the old site of the ancient city on a giant clawed dragon.It is natural to know that it will take about ten days before the wheat harvest.

Wang Hao even prepared the sickle for harvesting, but he never thought that at this juncture, the wheat guards would come to him with wheat ears.

He had seen the person who brought the ears of wheat to Wang Hao, and he was one of the people who stayed at the site of the ancient city last time to guard and take care of the ears of wheat.Wang Hao still remembered that this person was called Sun Huo.

Sun Huo's injury had nothing to do with Maizi, it was caused by the giant bat eagle grabbing and breaking his arm on the way.

His luck is pretty good, because his partner who was on the road with him was captured alive by the giant bat eagle, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

After all, without a black armor like Wangcun and a giant-clawed dragon, it would be very dangerous for one or two people to cross the wilderness.If you are not careful, you will die on the road.

However, being able to make them risk their lives to come to Wang Village also means that the wheat at the ruins of the ancient city is in serious trouble.

After all, Wang Hao would send someone to check there every fifteen days, and the last time the clansmen went to inspect it, only five days had passed.

While helping Sun Huo with his wound, Wang Hao finally figured out what happened.But the situation was a hundred times more serious than Wang Hao imagined.

Wheat is an edible plant.

Not only its seeds can be ground into flour, but its straw has a slightly sweet taste.

In order to make it easier to take care of the wheat, and to make it easier to harvest in the future, these wheat guards obeyed Wang Hao's words and transplanted it to the reclaimed land in the ancient city.

And when a large amount of wheat is transplanted together, the sweet taste of the straw can drive herbivores like green deer crazy.

However, because of the bow and arrow given by Wang Hao in advance and their 24-hour guards, the green deer and other animals have no chance to harm the wheat.

Instead, they themselves turned into delicious food under the bow and arrow.

The green deer gathered more and more, because they had bows and arrows, they were able to shoot a large number of green deer. For the few people who looked after the wheat, the large amount of venison was simply too much to eat.

This time, the village behind them realized the benefits.People have been dispatched to the site of the ancient city.

Not only for the endless green deer, but also to find more wheat in exchange for more bows and arrows.

Although Li Village withdrew from Maimai's care because of the war with Wang Village, the manpower at the old site of the ancient city has not decreased but increased, and has reached more than 50 people.

Not to mention, with more people, there will be more places to search.In the end, they were really lucky to find a large number of wheat seedlings in a depression.

Wang Hao also knew about these news.He was also happy about this. With the newly discovered wheat, he would not have to worry about not having enough seeds this year.

Moreover, because of the increase in manpower to take care of the wheat seedlings, the safety of the wheat has been further guaranteed.After all, bows and arrows can only be exchanged for mature ears of wheat.So they cherish the wheat more than Wang Hao.

Everything was fine.Wheat grown together in large quantities has successfully attracted a large number of herbivores.

And herbivores who have never seen bows and arrows can provide them with a lot of food, and even the food is so much that it can be transported back to the village to subsidize the consumption of the village.

And with the increase in manpower, more wheat can be found, which is also what Wang Hao is happy to see.

Originally, all three parties were satisfied, but something unexpected happened when the wheat was about to mature.

Those herbivores crave the sweet, tender and juicy stalks of wheat. Of course, they also like the ears of wheat.

And there are some animals that only like the ears of wheat.

That is the lion bird.

Lionbirds are very strange creatures.

It has the body of a lion and the head of an eagle.

Since it is called a bird, it naturally has wings and is able to fly.

Although lionbirds have strange shapes, they are docile and vegetarian animals.

Their favorite food, which can stand up to one meter in height, is the ripe ears of wheat.

The density of creatures in the wilderness is unimaginable to the people on earth.If you let the whole wilderness stand still, and then randomly find a plain and let people drive on it with eyes closed for 10 minutes, it will definitely kill dozens of creatures.

This is also the reason why monsters can gather an unimaginable mass of beasts in a short period of time when they attack the city.

Similarly, this is also the reason why a small number of people walk in the wilderness and encounter danger at any time.

High-level creatures are huge in size and not many in number, so they can be avoided in advance.

But the number of lions, tigers, carnivorous dinosaurs and various other beasts is too large to be guarded against.

Of course, the more carnivorous predators, the more herbivores.This is also the reason why the plants in the wilderness grow so fast.

If you don't grow fast, you will be eaten and extinct long ago.Nature is not softhearted, only the fittest survive.

Therefore, the number of lions and birds attracted by the wheat that is about to mature has reached a desperate point.

In the past two days, the lions and birds who come together every day to check whether the wheat is ripe can only be described as covering the sky and blocking the sun.

It is conceivable that when the wheat is really ripe, these lions and birds swarm down, fearing that there will be no grains left of the ears of wheat.

What disappointed Sun Huo and the others the most was that among the lions and birds that passed by every day, they found a big lion and bird with wings spread as wide as two city walls.

According to Wang Hao's estimation based on the width of the ruins of the ancient city wall, the wingspan of this big lion bird may exceed 20 meters.

With a wingspan of 20 meters, it almost catches up with the width of the wings of a commercial airliner.Even if the big lion bird is not a third-level one, it should be about the same.

Wheat is one of Wang Hao's most valued crops.Before the sweet potato was found, whether wheat or even Wang Hao could unify the most important thing in the whole wilderness in the future was not one of them.

In Wang Hao's view, the importance of wheat is more important than force.After all, the environment of the Great Wilderness is different from that of the Earth.

Even if sweet potatoes are now used as a staple food substitute, wheat is a crop that absolutely cannot be lost.

However, just when the first batch of wheat that was used as seeds was about to be harvested, they were actually spotted by lion birds.

In Wang Hao's view, he was really afraid of something.

In the meeting hall, Wang Hao frowned tightly and kept pacing back and forth.

It was the first time that Gu Mu and Wang Long saw Wang Hao's expression.

In the past, no matter what happened.Even in the face of threats from the Wild Boar King and the enemies of Nine Dragon Mountain, Wang Hao remained determined.

But now, he became impatient.

"Hao, it seems that those lion birds only eat fully mature wheat, why don't we harvest these wheat in advance, just like sweet fruit, although it is not very tasty when it is not completely red, but it does not affect hunger! "Wang Long said.

"If it was that simple, Hao would definitely not be in such a hurry. There must be difficulties that we don't know about." Before Wang Hao could speak, Gu Mu rejected Wang Long's suggestion.

"Oh!" Wang Hao sighed and stopped.Then he sat on the big chair and said, "If it's for the future, it's not impossible to do this. But this batch of wheat is the only wheat found in the whole wilderness so far. It will be used as seeds in the future.

If it is eaten, there is nothing.But this kind of half-baked wheat is cut off and used as seeds, who knows if it can germinate.Maybe the species of wheat will be completely extinct from the wilderness because of me.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have transplanted them together. In this case, although harvesting and management are very troublesome, if they are not planted together, naturally they will not attract so many lions and birds. "

After hearing Wang Hao's words, Wang Long and the others also became worried.

Lionbirds are not scary. Although they are relatively large and about the size of a wolf dog after retracting their wings, they rarely attack humans.After all, humans are not on their diet.

However, when tens of thousands of lion birds gather together and stare at the wheat you planted, the scene is very scary.

There are more than ten thousand people, and there are no boundaries.And lions and birds are over ten thousand, which can only be described as covering the sky and blocking out the sun.What's more, according to Sun Huo's description, the number of lions and birds is far more than ten thousand.

It's a joke to try to hold them back with a bow when they're crazy about food.

When the wheat is ripe and lions and birds pounce down, no amount of bows and arrows will be able to stop them.This time Wangcun can send up to 50 people to the old site of the ancient city.

As for the tens of thousands of lions and birds, even if the people in Wangcun are all sharpshooters, they can kill a lions and birds with one arrow.Then how many arrows does everyone have to shoot to kill these lions and birds?It's about the same for Wangcun to give one Gatling shot per person, and it must be the kind of six-barreled gun with unlimited bullets.

"Gather your people. All the people in the village who can be dispatched and who know how to shoot arrows are all assembled. Everything can be temporarily put aside, except that there is no room for loss on the side of Mai!" Wang Hao said through gritted teeth.

"Is there a way?" Gu Mu asked before leaving.

"Not yet. The matter of the lion and bird will be resolved sooner or later. Moreover, even if I can't protect all the wheat this time, I still want to protect a small piece of wheat field. At worst, I won't eat wheat within ten years. I will use the wheat that I have protected this time. Let's re-breed!" Wang Hao said fiercely.

Although this is what he said, Wang Hao knew that if he really wanted to protect only one wheat field, he might as well transplant the soon-to-mature wheat while the lions and birds were not eating.How much can be saved.
