The species of the poisonous bee was unknown, and no one cared what kind of poisonous bee it was. Qi gushed out, and the limbs flew around. When the sun was about to set, the poisonous bees were almost dead.
Even the honeycomb was split open, and the queen hidden inside was found and directly strangled.
Only a small number of poisonous bees flew away. According to the habits of bees, they would linger here for a few days until they were sure that the hive no longer existed, and then they would completely fly away.
"Teacher Markus, remember to warn all serfs that this area is not allowed to come over."
"Understood, Sir."
At this time, Russell suddenly shouted, "Sir, it's honey, there is honey in this hive!"
"Is there really honey?" Liszt lifted his mask and looked along the section of the hive that Russell had opened. Sure enough, he saw the golden honey, exuding a faint tempting sweetness.
He opened it deeper with his hand and found that there were white larvae in many hives.
This was a pupa.
It was about the thickness of an index finger and the length of a thumb, and it was plump.
Seeing these white pupae, Liszt almost drooled. He had eaten fried pupae, which tasted delicious and crispy. Moreover, pupae contains high protein, low fat, a variety of vitamins and trace elements, and is a very nutritious ingredient. Now this poisonous hive, which is half the height of a person, can take out at least ten kilograms of pupae.
There's something to eat!
"Russell, Griffin, you lift the pupae and carry it back! The honey and pupae inside are good things, I want them. "
"Yes, Sir!"
As the two spoke, they were about to carry the hive, but they could not lift the hive at all, and their faces turned red.
"Didn't you eat?" Markus asked speechlessly.
According to the strength of the Earth Knight, although it could not be said to be infinite, it was at least several times that of an ordinary adult. It should not take so much effort to carry a poisonous hive of less than five hundred kilograms.
When Russell heard this, his face turned even redder.
He used all his strength and madly circulated his qi, which shook the poisonous hive.
Griffin, who was carrying with him, suddenly found a problem. "Captain Markus, the hive and the trunk here seem to be stuck together by something. No wonder we can't move it."
"Stuck together?" Liszt also walked over and checked the part where the poisonous hive was connected to the tree trunk. He found that, as Griffin had said, there was some white substance that stuck the two tightly together. He couldn't pull it apart. "It should be the sap secreted by the tree. Why is it so sticky?"
Looking up the white substance, it happened to be the broken branch that had been cut by Russell before, leaving a lot of juice, which flowed all the way here, and then dried and solidified.
Seems to be stickier than 502 glue.
"Glue … solidification …" Liszt felt that this kind of thing was very unusual. If he used it, it should have a very wide range of uses.
At this time, Markus had already pulled out his steel sword, aimed at the part that was stuck, and swung it.
Dang!
Dang!
Dang!
After three consecutive strikes, the white substance only had a small crack. There were no signs of it splitting apart.
"Let's cut a few more times, Teacher Markus. Use your qi." Liszt signaled to Markus not to stop and to continue cutting to test the strength of the juices.
Markus did as he was told.
With his qi, a cyan light was attached to the long sword. He aimed at the white substance and slashed. Kacha! This sword finally split the white substance, and the poisonous hive and the trunk were completely separated. "What is so hard? I used all my strength to cut it off."
"The sap flowing down from the big tree. Teacher Markus, Russell, Griffin, we may have found something better." Liszt pointed to the big tree in front of him with a smile on his face.
The big tree was a very common miscellaneous tree. Liszt had studied this tree as early as the second time he landed on Black Horse Island to look for the keel. The trunk was very straight, the branches were high, not lush, there were no flowers or fruits, and it did not grow tall. When the New Year came, the leaves were slightly yellow. Now the leaves were completely yellow.
The initial conclusion was that this was a deciduous tree. It was ordinary and could probably be used as wood.
He also planned to cut down all the miscellaneous trees near the pasture when there was enough manpower to expand the pasture farming area. Now it seemed that it was fortunate that it was not cut down. The tree that could produce such a strong glue was clearly a treasure given by nature.
The sun was setting.
Liszt was not in a hurry to go back. Anyway, there was no World of Warcraft on the island, so there was no danger. "Griffin, you aim at the tree trunk and cut it with your sword."
"Yes, sir!"
A sword went down, and the bark cracked.
About a minute later, white sap began to ooze from the cracked part. Liszt picked up a little of the sap with a wooden stick and then stuck it to the trunk, shaking it from time to time to judge the speed of the sap's adhesion. After about five minutes of exposure to the air, the sap began to solidify.
After solidification, it was almost unbreakable.
"The effect is very strong. Do you see its role?" He asked proudly, with the intention of showing off — the sap of this tree was undoubtedly a natural adhesive, and from the degree of hardness after solidification, it was definitely comparable to the existence of rubber, equivalent to the product of the mixture of rubber and 502 glue.
The importance of rubber was beyond doubt, and the usefulness of 502 glue was also very great.
The advantages of both were undoubtedly a more valuable natural glue.
However, Markus and the other two did not realize this quickly, so they seemed a little confused.
Griffin even replied in a serious manner: "Maybe two things can be glued together? It looks a bit troublesome, sir. When serfs cut down trees, they may also glue their axes to the tree trunk. "
"Cut down trees?"
"Sir, aren't you planning to cut down all the trees on the island to expand the range of the grassland?"
"That was the previous plan, but now it has been changed. The grassland is needed, and this tree is even more needed!" Liszt said unquestionably, "You may not understand what I just said, but the sap of this tree is a good thing, a very good thing. In my opinion, it is more valuable than gold."
"More valuable than gold?"
"The sap can be used directly as glue to bind objects. For example, a cooper's bucket, with glue, as long as two wooden boards are gently glued together, it will be a perfect bond, neither loosening nor leaking. It is wasteful to use it for a bucket, but it may be suitable for binding weapons. "
Liszt calmed his excitement and continued: "Of course, first of all, it is necessary to determine its nature, durability, fire or water resistance, how to collect and store it, and so on …"
Having said that.
He suddenly remembered that the smoke mission had been completed, and his sprite worm should have arrived. While letting Markus and the other two study the nature of the natural glue, he silently summoned the smoke mission.
However, he found that the mission content had not changed, and the mission to eliminate the poison bee hive had not yet been completed.
"It seems that the mission can only be completed after all the poison bees fly away and the danger is completely removed. However, this tree and the mission …" Looking at the tree trunk and thinking about the mission, he felt that the two seemed to be related: "Could it be that my tenth sprite worm is related to this tree?"
