Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 22 "Flooding the Seven Armies"

He didn't know the lifespan of soldier ants and worker ants, but he had heard that the queen ant had an extremely long lifespan. Some species could live up to 30 years, while special species of queen ants could even live up to 60 years. Some scientists claimed that if conditions were right, the queen ant had the ability to live up to 100 years.

This kind of potential insect, at the end of the world, mutated into an extraordinary creature, and it happened in one's own backyard, which would be too dangerous.

How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed? It is better to eradicate it as soon as possible.

He looked around and saw no one, so he ran over to turn off the phone that was recording the video, went back to the ant nest, and unzipped his pants.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~, the water flooded the seven armies!
This time, the flood was so abundant that it filled the ant nest completely, and the effect was extraordinary...

System: "Congratulations to the host for killing nine first-order mutant creatures, the Flame Ants. You will be rewarded with 90 achievement points."

Li Xiang shook his hands, put away the treasure, zipped up his pants, and felt very satisfied. Suddenly, he fell into deep thought.

"That's not right. There must be no queen among these first-order mutant flame ants. Maybe the queen is still alive."

He felt that the queen ant was the queen of this group of ants and must be more powerful. When she mutated in the future, her level would definitely be higher.

So he wielded the hoe and continued to turn the soil, completely digging out the entire ant nest.

Sure enough, after much violence, he found the fat queen ant and gently crushed her to death with a hoe.

System: "Congratulations to the host for killing the second-level mutant Flame Ant Queen. You will be rewarded with a first-level spiritual herb, Wu Ling Shen."

When his mind entered the system warehouse, he saw a black object and also obtained information related to it.

This kind of black ginseng is a fungus developed from the fungal sphere in the ant nest. Its scientific name is Xylaria nigrohorta. Because its above-ground part looks very much like deer antler, it is also called Xylaria nigrohorta.

It has many aliases, such as Wuling ginseng, Wuli ginseng, chicken fir egg, ground charcoal stick, and chicken poria.

In the early years, the price of good quality black ginseng was nearly 5000 yuan per kilogram. Although the price has dropped in recent years, it is still generally close to yuan per kilogram. Of course, poor quality ones may only cost a few hundred yuan per kilogram.

The value of the first-level mutated spiritual herb Wuling ginseng is immeasurable. At present, it is a wild delicacy that cannot be bought even with money.

Li Xiang would not sell it, but take it for himself. This would help him accumulate spiritual power in his body, which was related to his own cultivation foundation.

Li Xiang turned on the recording function on his phone again and continued to work. When he felt thirsty, he went to the kitchen to drink the wild tea he had brewed in the morning.

The tea leaves are wild and the water is mountain spring water, so the tea brewed from it is simply unique. City people drink tea in small sips, but Li Xiang drinks it in big gulps.

After digging the vegetable field with a hoe, Li Xiang changed to a rake.

Because the hoe only turned over large chunks of soil, although it had been knocked over, there were still many large clods of soil. After all, the hoe was small and not very convenient to knock them over. In addition, there were grass roots, tree roots and the like in the soil. He used a rake and continued to cultivate the soil carefully.

Li Xiang was born in a rural area and was good at farm work. He raised the spiked rake and broke the soil into pieces with every rake. At the same time, he picked up grass roots, tree roots, small stones and other debris, and then pushed the soil flat with his backhand.

He rakes from the front and strikes from the back, and can turn the rake head in the air at will as needed, with seamless connections and smooth transitions. Li Xiang uses the nine-tooth rake in many different ways.

Rake one by one, without missing any.

After raking the land, he changed to a shovel to trim the edge of the field, dug drainage ditches, and finally leveled the entire field. A beautiful raked field was then initially formed.

Li Xiang divided the vegetable field into several areas and planted rapeseed, potatoes, broad beans, Chinese cabbage, leeks, cabbage, radishes and coriander.

Coriander, in particular, is his favorite. It is indispensable for stewing lamb and hot pot in winter. In his hometown, this dish is also called "salt beard", and its official scientific name should be "coriander" (yán suī).

Of course, China is a vast country with abundant resources, so some places have different names for coriander. Some people also call cilantro, scutellaria, and scutellaria densiflora. Li Xiang edited the process of cultivating a vegetable garden and sowing vegetables into a video and posted it on his Douyin account.

Although everyone likes it, they are inevitably disappointed.

Someone commented below: "Brother Xiang, please quickly update the skit "The Saint's Heart Is Attracted to the Body of a Thousand Poisons"! Even the donkeys in the production team don't rest like this."

Li Xiang looked at the comments, shook his head and smiled, then replied: "You need to wait a little longer, sorry."

He really can't come up with a second episode.

The heroine has run away. Oh, no, school has started. How can we shoot? We have to wait for a month.

A fan commented: "Why is there no Miao girl in this episode?"

Li Xiang had no choice but to explain: "School has started, so I went to school."

Fans were shocked: "What? Still a student? What a beast!"

In fact, Jiang Caier looks so young that many people have speculated that she must be a middle school student, but they don’t know whether she is in junior high school or high school.

……

After finishing eating the ordinary mushrooms last time, Li Xiang continued to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms.

This time, in addition to small mushrooms, big-foot mushrooms, and black truffles, he also harvested chicken mushrooms and goose egg mushrooms.

Goose egg mushroom, scientifically known as Amanita argyi, also known as goose egg mushroom, as the name suggests, looks like a goose egg and tastes like egg yolk. It is delicious, tender and nutritious. It is also a relatively expensive wild delicacy, selling for about seventy to eighty one kilograms.

According to records, Caesar the Great of the Roman Empire loved to eat this mushroom, so it is also called "Caesar Mushroom" in the West.

He also killed a first-level mutant creature, the Red-eyed Black Rabbit, which was very fat, weighing at least eight or nine kilograms, and obtained 10 achievement points.

However, the most harvested ones are small button mushrooms, big-foot mushrooms, and black truffles. These three types of fungi are more common in the mountains near his home.

Especially black truffles, this time he walked quite far and dug up more than ten kilograms of fresh goods, filling a large backpack.

After this video was released, some fans left a message questioning: "Did they bury it first and then dig it out?"

Because many videos on the Internet are like this, like some videos of people going to the beach. What looks like the beach may be a scene created at home. Even if they really go to the beach, they will have placed the "prey" on the beach in advance.

Of course, most people still believed it. After all, Li Xiang was walking in a real forest. Especially the hare, which ran very fast. If Li Xiang had not set foot in the extraordinary realm, he might not be able to catch up with it.

If you buy a rabbit yourself, release it and then catch it, you will lose a lot of money if you fail to catch it.

"Brother Xiang, are you selling your black truffles?" A fan was interested and sent a private message to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Of course I sell it. There are about 15 kilograms of fresh goods. How much do you want?"

The other party: "I want them all. How much?"
