I rely on copies to build infrastructure

Finding tributes is easy to say, but it is not too difficult to do.

The most important thing is that "Blood Honeydew" has no hint at all, it is not as good as "Dragon Town Stone" and "Hundred Bones", at least there is a direction.

"Blood honeydew..."

Jia Yingjun smacked his mouth.

"It should be red, right? Honeydew honeydew, why don't we look for beehives nearby?"

Hearing what he said, Qin Lu shook his head.

"Honeydew is the sugary excrement of some bugs, which is also secreted by fungi when they reproduce, and attracts insects to spread it."

He hesitated. "If the literal meaning is correct, then we have to look for aphids or scale insects, and breeding rust fungi or ergot fungi."

"However, there are no insects on this island, so it is more likely that it is a fungus. Ergot fungi and rust fungi are generally parasitic on plants. Rust fungi like pines and cypresses, and ergot fungi invade wheat. But this is a copy world, The host mutation is also very possible, didn't you find the village before? There should be someone growing wheat there, why don't you go and have a look in a while, maybe you will find something."

"what……?"

Jia Yingjun was at a loss when he heard this, and then his eyes turned to reverence.

"How do you know they grow wheat? You've never been there before!"

"Brother, I really can't see that you are still farming at such a young age!"

Hearing what he said, Qin Lu smiled shyly.

"I worked on a farm during the busy summer and saw ergot."

"Why have you worked all kinds of jobs?"

Jia Yingjun muttered.

"I said I had a funeral before, but now I'm on the farm again. It doesn't look like you are white and tender..."

Qin Lu smiled, and turned the topic back to the situation in the village.

"The village you went to is full of stranded players?"

"of course not."

Jia Yingjun shook his head.

"This is what the village chief told us. He actually didn't know that we were players. He only said that we polluted outsiders are the best food for the lizardheads. They cannot leave the island without the power of the gods to purify them. Offering sacrifices to the gods, It was originally a tradition handed down by the islanders to get rid of the disease, so it can be cured for us..."

When Jia Yingjun was talking, Qin Lu suddenly heard a notification tone.

He opened the virtual notebook subconsciously, and found that the "village" logo appeared in the column of available building modules.

This is the village that Jia Yingjun mentioned, but Qin Lu has never been there in person, and now he suddenly gained exploration points, which is probably related to Jia Yingjun's narration.

It turns out that the news obtained from other people can also unlock the module building.Moreover, the difficulty of unlocking the village is obviously lower than that of the temple. Just hearing these two sentences from Jia Yingjun, the progress bar has advanced to 10%.

Qin Lu was a little excited.

The progress of the temple was too difficult to advance, which made him a little bit unmotivated.And on his island, there is no food or drink, and no matter how gorgeous the temple is, it is useless.However, after solving the problem of food and clothing in the future, it is more reliable to study the tourism economy, and the early development is fine.

Well now, the village module is easy to unlock.If it can be brought back to reality, at least the food and lodging will be solved!

Thinking of this, Qin Lu felt motivated again.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to the village now!"

The village Jia Yingjun mentioned is on the other side of the island, and it can only be reached by crossing a slope and wading a small river.

When the two reached the entrance of the village, the sun had already risen overhead, and the temperature of the air suddenly rose a lot. Both Qin Lu and Jia Yingjun were sweating profusely.

Seeing a wheat field from a distance, the wheat has already bloomed, and Qin Lu's spirit was shocked when he saw it.

Sure enough, Arita!

He opened the notebook and was satisfied to find that the exploration speed of the village module had increased a bit, indicating that this field was also included in the module.

If this field can be moved to his island, then the problem of food will be solved!

"Brother, you said that the blood honeydew is in these wheat?"

Jia Yingjun scratched his head.

"This range is too big, do you have any hints?"

Qin Lu shook his head.

After the rye is parasitized by the ergot fungus, the ergot fungus will produce germ tubes and invade the ovary, and the white cotton-like hyphae will grow and spread, producing a large number of ovoid conidia, filling the entire ovary.

The sweet sticky substance secreted by the mycelium is the honeydew they are looking for. There is really no shortcut to this job, and they can only find it one by one.

"Okay, white cotton wool..."

Jia Yingjun muttered, and was about to bend over to turn the wheat, but was stopped by Qin Lu.

"Look for the red mycelium."

Qin Lu thought for a while, "Since it is said to be blood honeydew, it should be red, and places where there are many ants are attracted, and the secretion of ergot fungus is very good at attracting insects."

So the two started to look for the red sick wheat ears separately.

This is not a small project. Fortunately, the two are young and strong, and their lives are at stake. After an afternoon, they actually found the red honeydew.

"Okay, brother! I've got it all right for you!"

Jia Yingjun jumped three feet high excitedly.

Originally thought to be the most difficult and most clueless tribute, it was actually so easily cracked by Qin Lu.Even though looking for Maizi made him stare at the stars and his waist and legs were stiff, the pain was not in vain at all!

Sure enough, this big brother is reliable!

"Go to the village and ask for a bottle, let's pack more and go home."

Qin Lu suggested.

After working all afternoon, he also wanted to seek some personal gain.

Seeing that the village was right in front of him, it would be a pity for his exploration bar to stagnate all afternoon if he didn't go in!

"Row!"

Jia Yingjun patted his chest.

"I know the village chief's house, I'll take you there!"

The village chief's house is easy to recognize. Among the adobe houses in the village, the taller one is the one with a totem pole erected in front of the door.

When Qin Lu passed by, he took a special look at the god carved on the pillar. It was an image with eight eyes and three arms, which was very different from the exquisite jade statue in the temple.

At this time, Jia Yingjun had already knocked on the door of the village chief's house.

——Boom boom boom.

After a while, a gray-haired old man came out from the inside, wearing a robe made of homemade cloth, with a large string of sea beads hanging around his neck.

Seeing that it was Jia Yingjun, the old man raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Outlander, why are you back?"

"The village elder... let's find..."

Jia Yingjun was about to say that he found the blood honeydew, but suddenly he felt his sleeve being pulled by Qin Lu, and immediately changed his words.

"I found some fresh water, and I want to ask for a bottle to hold it."

"Oh."

The village chief nodded and asked with concern.

"How about the tribute? How many kinds have you found?"

"Huh."

Jia Yingjun shrugged.

"Others don't know, but I'm completely clueless here! Uncle Village, please remind us what that bloody honeydew is. We've never heard of it!"

Not to mention, his acting skills are quite good, the village chief seems to believe it.

The old man shook his head.

"You can't say it, you can't say it, if you say it, you will offend the gods and bring down the plague."

"If you can't find it anymore, you can come back to the village to eat the tree fruit, and you will be able to survive after all."

"Berry?"

Qin Lu suddenly spoke.

"Does the fruit grow on the tree? I want to see it too."

Hearing that he was interested in tree fruits, the old village chief was very happy, and led the two of them into an ancestral hall behind.

There is a clay statue of a god enshrined here, which is in the same style as the totem pole in front of the door. All of them are carved with eight-eyed and three-armed gods.

Qin Lu found that the design structure of this ancestral hall was exactly the same as that of the temple on the top of the mountain, and the altars in front of the statues were also placed with bottles and plates, but the craftsmanship and materials were far from those on the top of the mountain, giving it a sense of imitation of a cottage.

There were already offerings on the altar table in Shimamura, except for rye bread and unknown bacon, and a small green ball in the middle.

The village head pointed to the small ball.

"Here, this is the fruit of the tree. As long as you eat it, you can get the gift of the gods and become the people of the gods."

Qin Lu's eyes were fixed on the green ball, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it didn't look like a natural fruit.

The shape and coloring of these balls are uneven, the surface is rough, and some places are even burnt black.

Qin Lu had worked in a bakery before, so he naturally recognized this trace, which should be artificial pasta.

"Don't underestimate this thing, it can save your life at critical moments!"

The old village chief said seriously.

"Have you ever seen the lizards? These monsters, they hide in the sea of ​​confusion and cannot come out. They will go ashore to hunt their prey at night, and they will not go back until they are full."

"You were not born on the island. Without the protection of the gods, these monsters will not let you go. If you don't have these berries, you can't survive on the island."

"Oh," Qin Lu seemed to be frightened by the village chief's words, his fair face was full of horror.

"I was scared to death yesterday. Those monsters climbed up when they said they were going to climb up, and they climbed up very fast..."

He paused, then continued.

"The bones buried on the stone steps on the mountain were killed by the lizard head? It's terrible!"

Hearing his question, the village chief was slightly taken aback.

"Oh, that's not..."

Seemingly hesitant, wanting to say but not wanting to, the village chief said vaguely.

"It's the village's cemetery above, and all the dead villagers are buried there. If you see it, just hide and don't disturb the souls of the dead."

As soon as the words "cemetery in the village" came out, Qin Lu found that the exploration speed of the village module had increased by a certain amount.

This increase in exploration seems to be completely irregular.When Qin Lu entered the village, he grew a little bit, and when he entered the ancestral hall, he grew a little bit longer, and his conversation with the village chief hardly changed.On the contrary, when Qin Lu inspected the structure of the ancestral hall and thought about the material of the tree fruit, each of them grew for a short period of time. The biggest increase was when the village chief said "cemetery", and the progress bar jumped to one-third in an instant.

It seems that there seems to be some secret hidden in this village, which has something to do with the bones on the stone steps on the mountain.

Even if it is folk custom, there is absolutely no reason to seal the ancestors in the stone steps for people to trample on. The village chief's ambiguous attitude is very clear.

It seems that we still have to find an opportunity to study those bones carefully!
