There are many strange bugs in the ninja world, and the desert locusts in the Wind Kingdom are also a very strange creature.

Most of the year, they are honest and will not gather in such a large cluster.

I hid my heart during the day to avoid the pain of the scorching sun; I only secretly came out to find food at night.

Almost no one can beat these very weak insects. Basically, animals with a little predation ability will catch two of them from time to time to fight for the teeth.

With its complex food, no lip service and strong reproductive ability, these little things are still thriving in the water-deficient desert.

However, once severe drought occurs, plants die, and food is scarce, the entire habits of these hungry desert locusts will undergo earth-shaking changes.

From a coward who lives alone, he quickly turned into a terrifying natural disaster that likes group actions and is unscrupulous.

The natural enemies who usually prey on desert locusts do not want to provoke them at this time, not only because the hungry swarm is difficult to deal with, but also because the appearance of desert locusts in this state will undergo some subtle changes, strengthen their flight ability, become more violent, and even their reproductive ability will become stronger.

What makes natural enemies even more avoided is that desert locusts evolved in this situation, adjusting their own secretions, and the smell emitted makes predators stay away from them. They even produce toxins in their bodies. Not only are they unpalatable, but they may also be poisoned to death if they eat too much.

Desert locust plague can be prevented, but once a natural disaster breaks out, don’t think about using any opportunistic tricks, it’s useless.

During this period, birds such as chickens, ducks, geese, swallows and finches rarely eat desert locusts unless they are extremely hungry.

As for collecting them and frying them as food rations, it is not bad. Because it is slightly poisonous, the elderly, weak, women and children cannot eat too much. If you are young and strong, you are not afraid of food problems, so you can also try it.

Manual killing, spraying insecticides, laying up isolation nets, digging and trapping, etc. are effective methods.

Fortunately, such a disaster does not occur every year, otherwise the residents of the Wind Kingdom would not be able to survive.

Temari, Kankuro and I, Gaara, have grown up so old, and it is the first time that they have faced the desert locust plague. I heard of it when I was a child, but when they were young, they are not yet at the time when they need to be related to these things, and they don’t have a deep understanding of their severe-looking father Rasa.

Gaara's condition was slightly better. With the help of a Shun Crane, Chakra recovered quickly, but his physical strength was a little too strong.

Kankuro is fine, and it doesn't consume much to manipulate puppets to spray pesticides.

Only Temari, in order to cover some slow-moving women and children, used wind escape ninjutsu many times, and chakra and physical strength were almost exhausted.

Lazyly untied the head rope, inserted the Samsung fan diagonally deep into the sand, leaning against the handle of the fan, Temari, which was blowing a cool night breeze, and staring at the stars in the sky.

"Fortunately, it's not too much windy tonight, otherwise it will be troublesome..."

The desert is relatively cool at night this season. It’s okay for ninjas to camp out in the wild, but it’s not easy for civilians who have lost their homes to have a lot of firewood around them, and there’s no burning fire in the camp to keep everyone warm.

"I don't know how many people are like us, sleepless all night in the desert tonight..."

Temari said with some emotion.

Although desert locusts are not very active at night, they are not absolutely threatening.

Therefore, these ninjas on the front line should not only seize the time to recover their physical strength and chakra, but also not relax their vigilance. Once an accident occurs, they should warn in time.

The civilians not far away were already asleep. After discussing the order of nighttime, the three siblings were about to take a take turns to take a nap when they felt that someone suddenly approached quickly in the desert ahead, and there were still quite a few people.

"What's going on? Come here..."

Not long after, the three siblings saw the person coming through the hazy moonlight.

They were more than a dozen spider-like monsters taller than humans, walking over quietly in the desert like walking on flat ground.

"This is a puppet and spider..."

Kankuro said in surprise,

"How could it appear here? I didn't expect that Damaru's puppets had sold so many..."

"Aren't you the boss among them? Don't know whether the business is good or not?"

Temari asked a little strangely.

"Apart from caring about it at the beginning, I didn't care much later..."

Anyway, Kankuro doesn't expect this to make money, so he just occasionally goes over to see the popularity inside and how many apprentices he hired.

Temari shook her head slightly and sighed:

"You are like this, I don't know if you are sold by Damaru. I really don't know where you are confident to open a store with someone..."

"It's just a coincidence..."

I originally just wanted to help me with some help, but I didn’t know why I became a shareholder in a mess.

After a while, a total of fifteen puppets and spiders came to see them, and several children who were manipulating this "beggar version" puppet appeared in front of the three siblings.

"It's very dangerous here, what are you doing?"

When it comes to the puppet master's affairs, it is better for the puppet master to come forward to deal with it.

"We were ordered to come..."

The oldest little fat guy has a nose full of acne, and he seems to have a bad temper.

"Early tomorrow morning, a sandstorm may pass by here, and all evacuated civilians must be sent to the shelter base as soon as possible..."

"Storm? No..."

Kankuro and Temari couldn't help but look at the sky. The wind was very small, the moon was sparse, and there seemed to be no clouds. Why did there suddenly become a sandstorm?

"It's true that the barrier class in the village has issued an early warning..."

The little fat man replied anxiously.

It is precisely because such things often happen that Sand Hidden Village has developed a set of bad weather warning barriers that cover almost half of the Wind Country. Once a sandstorm shows signs of it, it can be immediately fed back to the Perception Ninja in the village.

"Well, we don't mean to doubt you..."

Temari asked patiently,

"But the nearest shelter is still nearly forty kilometers away. At the speed of a ninja, you can almost feel what should you do if these elderly, weak, women and children with limited mobility?"

"So, we're here to help them get away quickly..."

Facing Temari who was chuckling, the little fat man seemed a little shy, turned around and waved his hand, signaling his companions to start taking action.

The shells above the puppets and spiders lined up in a row flipped backwards, revealing the hollow interior.

"You can squeeze three adults or five children inside, close the inner cabin, and you can sit seven or eight people in the grinding disc-shaped dome..."

"Is this a puppet used as a transport vehicle?"

Kankuro curled his lips in a tangled expression.
