Chapter 1238 The magical effect of mint leaves (for subscription)

"Look, everyone, this yellow ant with a somewhat transparent body is the yellow ant we are looking for."

"There are actually a lot of this kind of ants in the mountains and forests, but they have a low sense of presence, so it takes a little effort to find them. But don't look at the smallness of this thing, the yellow ants are still poisonous to a certain extent, and this guy is the same as the red ants , will bite.”

"Then, here, you should be able to see that these yellow ants are following this route. This should be the route for these red ants to go home. We just need to keep an eye on these ants."

Li Yuan stared at the little ant on the ground, and slowly moved along one of the larger figures. At about six or seven meters away, he followed the yellow ant all the way to a nearby tree.

The trunk was crooked, with a well-developed crown, but it was relatively low, blocking Li Yao's sight, but even so, Li Yuan still found a nest of yellow ants in the gaps in the leaves.

A dark brown ant nest was embedded in a tree branch.

The appearance of the ant nest looks somewhat similar to that of a honeycomb, but its size is a bit smaller than that of a honeycomb.

Following the trunk, Li Yuan could clearly see that the trunk was covered with yellow ants of all sizes, and the number was several times more than what was found before.

And the yellow ants that were going up had a lot of food in their mouths, and their walking speed was not fast, but they were very steady.

Li Yuan didn't go up the tree rashly, but first determined the location of the ant nest under the tree.

"Look, that honeycomb-shaped thing is the ant nest of the yellow ants. The delicious ant eggs we are looking for are in there."

Everyone followed Li Yuan's lens, and vaguely saw an ant nest the size of a watermelon between the tree trunks, but it was the first time that many people saw such an ant nest, and they were a little curious for a while.

Studio.

"Where is the ant nest, I can't see clearly."

"Where is it, why didn't I see it?"

"Aren't ants' nests underground? Why are ants nesting in trees?"

"No, it's also the first time I've heard of ants nesting in trees, anchor, are you sure you're not joking?"

"Many ants like to make nests in trees, but these are usually in the mountains, so you have never seen them. The yellow ant that the anchor is looking for does indeed nest in trees."

"Hey, I seem to have seen it. Is it something that looks like a honeycomb?"

"This ant's nest looks so strange. It looks like a swallow's nest, but it just grows a little more leaves and mud."

Following Li Yuan's guidance, everyone finally saw the original appearance of the ant nest.

The ant nest was about the same color as the tree trunk, but overall it looked much smoother than the tree trunk. The entire outer layer was sealed, leaving only a hole about the size of a ping-pong ball, allowing them to come in and out. .

Those yellow ants lined up, transporting food inside and out at the moment, looked extraordinarily hardworking.

However, most of the outer bark of this big tree that was eaten by yellow ants has fallen off, and there are obvious traces of ants gnawing on it. It is obviously a masterpiece of these guys.

Fortunately, the trunk was strong enough, so it was not damaged for a while.

Finally found the yellow ant nest, the next step, Li Yuan is to remove the ant nest from the tree, so that the ant eggs inside can be taken out for breakfast.

but……

This yellow ant is a biting person. If you want to take it off directly, you will inevitably suffer some physical pain. Li Yuan looked around to see if he could find some useful tools from around.

Li Yuan: "Although yellow ants are not poisonous, they will be sore after being bitten, which is similar to the mosquito bag after being bitten by mosquitoes. If you can avoid it, try to avoid it as much as possible, otherwise if some yellow ants have malaria , can also be transmitted to humans.”

Although the chance of this is relatively small, it is still necessary to take certain precautions in the forest. Just like Li Yuan at this time, he was looking for something he could use.

Studio.

"What is the host looking for?"

"What are you doing, Mr. Li's family?"

"What is the anchor doing? Didn't he say he wanted to poke an ant nest?"

"It should be looking for tools, right? Otherwise, if you go up like this, you will definitely be bitten."

"I think it's better to just poke the ant nest down from the top, so that the ants will be frightened and run away, can't we just pick up the nest and leave?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Your idea is really good, but if the ant nest is so easy to get down, wouldn't it just come down in the wind and rain?"

"This ant nest is still hanging firmly on the tree. It takes a lot of effort to poke it down... If I accidentally poke it and the ant egg is lost, then my morning is not in vain. ?”

After searching around for a long time, although Li Yuan didn't find any handy tools, he did find some mountain mint.

When Li Yuan saw the mountain mint, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Have it!"

Li Yuan took a few steps to the mountain mint, climbed through the grass to have a look, but he didn't expect that there were quite a lot of them.

Seeing those mountain mints, it was obvious that Li Yuan was in a good mood.

"Cool and relieve itching, just right!"

With that said, Li Yuan began to pick the wild mountain mint.

There were quite a lot of mint leaves. Li Yuanzuo picked them as thick as a palm, and put all the mint leaves together. Then he found a gentler stone as the bottom and another stone as a pestle, and hit those mint leaves vigorously. Juice from mint leaves.

However, Li Yuan's set of operations obviously made everyone a little confused. They didn't know what Li Yuan was doing with these mint leaves.

But soon, Li Yuan gave the answer.

Mint leaves have the effect of clearing heat and relieving itching, and it is a spice added when making perfume.Its juice has a cooling and refreshing effect, like some chewing gums, and mint flavor is often added.

And Li Yuan picked the mint leaves not for eating, but for smearing on his whole body, using the unique fragrance of mint to keep animals with sensitive sense of smell away from him.

There was a rhythmic knocking sound, and Li Yuan quickly smashed the picked mint leaves with a stone pestle as much as possible, and as the mint leaves were broken, the rich juice inside gradually flowed out.

Li Yuan dipped some peppermint water with his hands, and then wiped it on the surface of his bare skin.

Like the neck, like the cheeks, or even the hands, in short, as long as it can touch the surface of the skin, Li Yuan didn't leave a single place, and he smeared all of them.

As soon as the mint juice was applied to his face, Li Yuan felt a burst of coolness.

Especially when smearing his nose, Li Yuan couldn't help his nose sore and sneezed several times.

Of course, the reason why Li Yuan smeared it so carefully was not only to use mint juice to prevent yellow ants from biting him, as long as he sweated less, the mint smell would last for a day without any problem.
