Chapter 18 Ecological Balance

She remembered that the very difficult viruses such as AIDS and Ebola came from the depths of the vast forest. The primitive tropical forest was a very dangerous place for ordinary people. In the era of backward technology, most of the

People cannot enter the forest.

Without too many people entering, the various creatures in the forest will not be subject to extensive development and interference by humans. There is a corresponding cycle. Those creatures live very wantonly, and each one is working hard to evolve in order to stay alive.

In addition to animals and plants, the biosphere in the forest also includes a variety of microorganisms - viruses and bacteria, which are an important part of the biosphere. A forest without microorganisms will lack the most basic ecological balance.

Of course, in this era, there are probably no microscopes yet, and naturally people don’t know that there are still many microorganisms living around them. If a person can only live in a sterile environment, it means that he can only stay in a safe place.

There are even a large number of microorganisms in the human body (intestine). They live in the intestines and help people digest food. Without the help of beneficial bacteria, people will encounter too many problems.

Of course, it is precisely because microorganisms are so small that people often ignore their existence. Therefore, microorganisms will pop up from time to time to make humans sick, showing their existence.

It can be said that human beings have always been coexisting with microorganisms. There is a relatively harmonious aspect, but there is also a cruel side. People die every year due to bacteria and viruses.

After entering this forest, Ling Xiao paid great attention to his protective measures, especially when dealing with microorganisms and blood-sucking animals.

This is because she knows that the microorganisms here generally grow in the biosphere of the forest and do not enter the human world. This means that the human immune system has no impression of the microorganisms here. Once infected, it will be a big plague.

.

I still remember the time that was mistakenly called the Spanish Flu (actually the fault of the Lighthouse Country). The flu that originally only spread among animals mutated and spread to humans, and the human immune system had no impression of it at all.

Being caught off guard and in a weak position, a large number of people died.

This is why Ling Xiao has always been very cautious. Precisely because she knows how powerful microorganisms are, she naturally pays great attention to dietary hygiene after entering. Even though she has the skills of the immortal family, she is not afraid of those microorganisms at all.

But the original owner and others do not have this ability. This world cannot cultivate, so naturally she will not teach these things. Ling Xiao tries her best not to use so-called immortal methods, but to do it the way ordinary people should do it.

These are the things that can be left in the memory of the original owner, and ordinary people can benefit from them. This is why Ling Xiao walks in the forest with some caution.

If the original owner is left with the impression that the virgin forest is easy to enter and leave, then the original owner and the people she knows are being tricked. The danger of the forest is really too high, and the creatures in it may be killers.

Especially in this world, there are no vaccines for various viruses. Da Qi Qi thought that if it was easy, it would be too dangerous. It would be much better if he entered with a cautious attitude, so Ling Xiao was so cautious.

But compared to other ordinary people, she was extremely fast. She quickly searched all the famous places in the forest and found a lot of good things.

During this process, it was naturally discovered that those who risked their lives to collect raw materials were mostly indigenous tribes, which can be seen from their clothing.

Ling Xiao also discovered that the indigenous people were obviously more adapted to this forest than outsiders, and that the indigenous people should also be from different tribes, which could be seen from the decorations on their faces.

The indigenous people did not live in peace with each other. Instead, most of them plotted against each other. Ling Xiao knew at a glance that there was hatred among the tribes, so he would add insult to injury when he found an opportunity.

Ling Xiao didn't take action when she saw it. After all, the grievances between the tribes had nothing to do with her. Was she rushing to seek justice? No need! This was the tribe's own business. As an outsider, she still looked for opportunities to collect raw materials for the purpose.

superior.

It can be said that Ling Xiao has adapted well to this environment. In the process of searching for raw materials, he discovered a problem: he found that some medicinal collectors completely killed chickens and extracted eggs when collecting raw materials.

For example, ginseng is a good thing, but if ginseng is used as medicine, it needs a certain growth period. If it is not effective enough before the age, it will be useless even if it is picked, because the age of the ginseng needs to be paid attention to.

But Ling Xiao discovered that when someone collected them, they would sweep them all away regardless of whether they were old enough or not. They didn't care about the quality of the raw materials at all. There were no mature raw materials left at all.

This is not collecting raw materials at all, but destroying them, intending to make those raw materials disappear. How can you do this? It's completely fishing in the lake, without any brains.

Ling Xiao was a little surprised when she caught the guy who did this, because she thought he was an outsider who would do such stupid things to take revenge on the natives here, but after catching him, he found out that he was actually a native of the tribe.

This shouldn't be the case! You must know that the native tribesmen know very well what their tribe relies on to trade with outsiders, and they are very clear about the importance of raw materials. They should not do such a stupid thing at all.

Do the people of that tribe not plan to live near here? But it is still difficult for a tribe to migrate. Ling Xiao asked the guy why he did this. After the natives persisted for a while, they said that it was the request of their tribe chief, so that would be fine.

Price increase.

Haha! What is going on with that chief? Where is this idiot? Are you sure this person represents a tribe? If you look at it that way, that tribe will not exist for long.

Indeed, if these medicinal materials are really extinct, the prices of the remaining medicinal materials will definitely skyrocket. If you don't care about sustainable development, you will probably feel that it is better to kill the goose that lays the eggs. Because the money comes quickly, you can also take advantage of some people, and even charge sky-high prices.

But it is bound to offend a lot of people, because there will be no such medicinal materials to collect in the future, which is equivalent to cutting off the livelihood of other tribes. Isn't this kind of behavior that cuts off people's financial resources not hated by others?

I'm afraid that when people from other tribes find out that their jobs have been ruined, they will hold grudges against the people from that tribe, and they may start fights when they meet in the future, and it will be even more difficult for people from that tribe.

There is also the possibility that medicines that require this kind of medicinal material will no longer be produced, and future pharmacists may have to look for alternative medicinal materials with similar functions.

Even if they find it, there should be some differences. Re-developing the formula will give people in the Pharmacy Association a huge headache, so it's strange that they can have a good impression of the people of this tribe. So Ling Xiao really doesn't understand what the other party is planning?

Ah! Ling Xiao suddenly remembered something: the people in that tribe probably acted so unscrupulously because they thought others didn't know what was going on.

It's really hateful. Isn't this a waste of time? It means that everyone who enters the forest is suspected. Then everyone will be more wary of others in the future. So what should she do?

After thinking about it, she naturally couldn't go to the tribe to settle accounts in person, but as a member of the Pharmacists Association, she could naturally file a complaint and sue them after she left.

But before that, she had another way to save her life. She could specially cultivate some seeds and sow them in a place with a similar growth environment. Then she could find other medicinal materials in this forest later.

From the beginning to the end, Ling Xiao had no intention of going to the chief to say anything, because the chief in such a remote area is to a certain extent the emperor of the country. Such people often cannot tolerate other people's different suggestions. Why should she ask for trouble?

?I really don’t care about their life or death.

In the end, she did not kill the herb collector. After all, he was just a tool. If he died, the family would be broken up, so she just sneered and left.

The herb collector didn't know what was going on at first, and was so frightened that he felt that his life was in danger when he saw the angry Ling Xiao just now.

But what he never expected was that after hearing this, Ling Xiao looked at him with some indescribable feelings, turned around and walked away. After moving his body, he realized that his body, which was in great pain, was completely fine.

What was going on? At this moment, he was completely confused by Monk Zhang Er, but he still wrote down what Ling Xiao had just said, waited for him to go home and asked for details before speaking, and then left this place a little nervously.

Ling Xiao searched for all the good things in this place. When she came out of the forest with a backpack of materials, she found someone collecting materials on the road. She glanced at them and pretended not to see them. Naturally, she didn't buy the materials she wanted.

First find a suitable place, hey! After staying in the wild for several months, Ling Xiao mainly survives in the wild because he cannot expose more things, so he needs to find a place to take a rest.

In particular, you must pay attention to disinfection and do not bring out some microorganisms that should not be brought out. You must go outside after a period of self-isolation and find a place to handle the raw materials.

Seeing that the people collecting medicinal materials were not giving up and still pestering those who came out of the forest, Ling Xiao turned around and entered the forest. As he walked, he noticed something was wrong, as if he had broken into some forbidden area.

She suddenly became cautious and saw a man with golden hair standing in the sun. Wow! How could it be so golden? It seemed like golden hair of twenty-four karat gold, not yellow.

Why does it feel like this? Because the blond hair is shining in the sun. It is completely shiny blond hair. Ling Xiao's first impression is that it is a wig.

But Ling Xiao remembered that the wigs of the nobles were white and curled, and this was the dress of the male nobles, while the female nobles had to mix the wigs with their real hair, so that they could not tell that it was a wig.

Therefore, this should not be a wig, but a real head of blond hair, darling! Such a beautiful color! Then you can see a pair of charming and passionate big eyes.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, there is such a beauty in such a wilderness. To be blunt, this is the first time Ling Xiao has encountered a beauty of this level in this world.

At first glance, it seems that this kind of beauty is born from pampering. She has white and delicate skin and wears gorgeous clothes. She is really beautiful, but why does this kind of beauty appear here?

If Ling Xiao's guess was correct, this person was either an aristocratic elite with a backing or someone's petty lover. Anyway, although monogamy is practiced in some places, people like to have lovers of whatever kind, and they are the kind of lover that everyone likes to have.

A habit of recognition.

This was none of Ling Xiao's business. After she saw it clearly, she planned to leave. After all, she didn't know the person. Who cares about a stranger? She had her own things to do.

In addition, Ling Xiao also saw that there were many flower protectors around the beauty, and their skills were quite good. She even found that because she looked at the blond hair for an extra second, there were more people around her, and the beauty was closely protected.

.

Ling Xiao felt a little baffled. She was just passing by, so why was she so nervous? Is this beauty famous? Forgive her for being lonely and widowed, she didn't know her at all, she was just a beauty.

Feeling that the people behind her were gradually approaching, Ling Xiao couldn't help but look at the beauty again, wanting to confirm again. She would not be willing to fight or kill her if she left early next time.

As a result, he found that the beauty was held in the arms of a man. Ling Xiao, who had been single for many years, was a little curious: It was such a hot day, so intimate, and he was not afraid of sweating.

After she withdrew her gaze, she didn't feel anything more. Instead, she felt the voices coming from behind. As for being so nervous? With so many people watching, Ling Xiao pretended not to feel it and left directly.

After she left, the man holding the beauty naturally noticed it and made a downward slashing gesture with his left hand. Immediately more people followed Ling Xiao.

As the person involved, Ling Xiao naturally noticed that someone was still following him, and might even not let him go. It was really funny.

Look, she still looked down on those people. She didn't even catch them and ask what was going on. The other party enveloped her with murderous intent, and he actually wanted to kill her?

There must be something wrong with this beauty, otherwise the other party wouldn't be so anxious to kill and silence her. Who are they? After just one look, she kills her. She is indeed the kind of person with an elite background.

Later, after considering the situation of this world, it is not surprising. This is a common method used by noble people, because the dead cannot speak, and the dead will not refute when you pour dirty water on the dead. As time goes by, the false becomes true.

But who is Ling Xiao? Wanting to make her suffer? That was a dream. The reason why she didn't take action just now is just that she is unwilling to hurt others easily, but it does not mean that she is afraid of getting into trouble.

How could she, a monk, be afraid of these people? Some people didn't know how powerful they were. Ling Xiao didn't want to be followed all the time, so she thought of taking action further away.

Anyway, she is definitely not the kind of person who likes the unity of the world. If others want to kill her, they will have to pay a corresponding price. Now she is anxious to self-isolate and get rid of those losers first.

Ling Xiao didn't seem to notice the problem at all and kept walking forward, when he felt that the person behind him had rushed over, and a sharp knife came towards the back of his heart with a sound of wind, intending to stab him to death.

In this case, Ling Xiao was not polite. She turned sideways to avoid the knife, and then slashed with her hand, causing the man's hand holding the knife to dislocate. The man screamed and could no longer hold the dagger.

Ling Xiao looked back at the murderer. He was neither tall nor fat. He was an agile assassin. He looked like a local aborigine. His skin was dark, his body was strong and powerful, and his jumping ability was very strong. Because he was not wearing any clothes.

Shoes make almost no sound from footsteps.
