Live the leisurely life of the mountain village

Chapter 418 Provocation
"These tasks are given, it is really uncomfortable."

Natasha, who was on the side, couldn't help complaining after seeing the mission card.

It's really neither scolding nor boasting.

Natasha looked at the things in her hand and kept taking them out for comparison.

"Fortunately, it's not that difficult."

Zhuang Qiu said lightly.

Then he took out some empty bottles with lids on the ground and threw them into his backpack.

"Master Zhuang is so calm, it seems easy to handle."

"Is this going to put the caught insects in a bottle?"

"That's right, the card also said that the basis for judging success is that the insects in the bottle are all living things. When the time comes, we need to zoom in on the insects in the bottle and compare them carefully to see if they are rare insects in the tropics. Otherwise, you won’t be able to pass.”

"Ten kinds... I found the year of the monkey and the month of the horse."

"Yeah, the speed of finding it depends on luck. I don't know if it can be overtaken."

After Zhuang Qiu threw the bottle in, he spoke.

"No hurry, there are still four or five hours before the sun goes down, so it's done anyway."

After speaking, Zhuang Qiu glanced at Natasha in the distance.

"Let's go and try our luck in the jungle."

After speaking, the two walked forward one after the other.

The live broadcast equipment followed.

"Wow, cool! If we can finish this task within three to five hours, we will basically be the first."

"Yes, apart from us, Ozawa is the fastest, but his second task is more difficult, requiring the capture of a big cat."

"Big cats...that's not lions...tigers...leopards..."

"Well, although there are many types of big cats, people's first reaction is this."

"And the content of the judgment is even more cheating, do you know what it is?"

"Yeah, what?"

"It is required that during the entire hunting activity, the popularity of the live broadcast room is more than five times the popularity of the usual live broadcast to be considered a success."

"This judgment standard is really a dog!"

"Isn't it! This standard is equivalent to forcing the anchor to choose large and ferocious cats, hunting those civet cats and so on, which is not enough to attract attention."

"Wow, what a dog, trade the anchor for popularity."

"Fortunately, the official mission for this task is not so fatal. It is said that such a difficult mission can use the right to replace, but it will take five hours."

"Five hours! Then it won't be a fart."

"After all, it's still a dog."

……

The water friends in the live broadcast room chattered about the situation in other live broadcast rooms.

And Zhuang Qiu and Natasha have walked into the depths of the jungle unknowingly.

"Let's try our best to go to these places with dense bushes and flowers. There are relatively few insects falling on the trees."

While Natasha was too tall, avoiding the sharp knife-like stones on the ground, or the soft quagmire like mud, she shouted to Zhuang Qiu in front of her.

"Ouch!"

Natasha followed closely behind Zhuang Qiu, focusing on the road under her feet, but she didn't notice that Zhuang Qiu stopped suddenly, and accidentally bumped into Zhuang Qiu's back.

"what happened?"

Natasha touched her nose and muttered.

"Why is this man's body so hard?"

Like hitting a wall.

But Zhuang Qiu turned his head and made a silent gesture to Natasha mysteriously.

"Hush! You're really lucky."

"Ah for what?"

Natasha followed Zhuang Qiu's line of sight, but saw nothing.

"See?"

"Ah(⊙o⊙)...No."

"Haven't seen it yet?"

"(⊙o⊙)...No."

Natasha looked up and down, left and right, but there were only a few flowers and grass, a thick tree on the left, surrounded by shrubs and weeds.

What's the matter.

Not even a poisonous mushroom.

Flies and some flying warty cockles were plentiful.

But this is everywhere in my hometown, and it is not a rare tropical insect at all.

"What exactly did Master Zhuang show me? I'm so confused."

"That's right, this live video doesn't have a zoom function, I always use a magnifying glass to watch it, what's the matter?"

"Hen, hen, you can't even tell that sister Lin is so close, so let's talk nonsense."

"Is there something on that flower? I seemed to see something moving just now. Is it my eyes?"

"Add one upstairs! I seemed to see something move on that flower just now."

"No way, what are you talking about, I am stupid now."

……

Zhuang Qiu turned around and waved to Natasha, signaling her to follow.

Turning his head, Zhuang Qiu walked slowly towards a lavender orchid.

Natasha followed Zhuang Qiu step by step, and only then did she see the mystery of this flower.

Eyes suddenly widened.

"It's this little thing! It's really lucky!"

"What! Please popularize science! Help, I can't see it at all!"

"Hey, look quickly, there is an insect on this orchid...is this...a praying mantis?!"

"That's right, it's really a mantis! Wow, this mantis is lying on the flower, like a petal, it's almost invisible. It's almost transparent. If Master Zhuang hadn't brought us so close, who would have seen it? Here we go."

As Zhuang Qiu walked in, the screen in the live broadcast room continued to enlarge, and finally there was only a very beautiful colorful praying mantis left on the screen.

"What is this, Master Zhuang?"

As people in the live broadcast room discussed and the picture continued to zoom in, everyone also noticed this very beautiful praying mantis.

Zhuang Qiu lowered his voice and explained.

"This thing is called the orchid mantis, because its color and shape are close to the color and shape of the petals of orchids. It can also adjust the color of its own body through the color of the petals. So it is generally difficult to find."

"This is also rare! I was lucky enough to see it once in the tropical jungles of Southeast Asia. At that time, because I thought this bug was so beautiful, I pestered our captain and me to catch the second one everywhere, but we never found it."

Natasha said with some excitement.

Because of that experience, she is now more excited than others when she sees this thing.

"The reason why it is difficult to find is not only the number and camouflage, but also the more important reason is that only the female mantis has this color and the ability to change color, while the male mantis does not have it. The male mantis is a normal green color. That's all, the appearance and color are basically the same as the ordinary praying mantises we usually see."

"It turns out that this is the case. This thing is probably related to the reproduction and evolution of animals."
