Star Rank Hunter

Chapter 210 Food Dominated Area

Where animals and plants grow intertwined, there will be a lot of hallucinogenic gases and other toxic gases released, directly knocking down the animals in the plants, but in this plant forest, there are not many such high-risk toxic gases released , replaced by the internal reserves. ..*..*. *

Toxins are stored inside. When hostile species between plants meet, they will release the toxins in their bodies, cut through the opponent's skin and seep in. Some toxins can directly turn hostile species into liquid and become fertilizer for their own growth. .

Some of the arbor plants here are not completely still in place, and many plants can move. Although the lateral movement speed of most of them is far less than that of a turtle, compared to the plants on other planets, The plants here are already special.

Many plants contain various precious medicines, and the medicines directly separated from the plants will contain considerable activity, which is much better than those synthesized by machines, and avoid some allergic and rejection stress reactions, so in general , in the Star Alliance, the price of natural medicines isolated from plants is hundreds of times higher than synthetic medicines.

All of these surprised Tico and Likraber. They have easily extracted hallucinogens and other neurotoxins in high purity and activity from several plants. Tico and Likraber have been busy since they came here. They usually don’t use robots when processing materials, and they do it by themselves. The medicinal materials they collected are indeed worthwhile trips. These medicinal materials are rare and natural There are two kinds of raw materials that can be encountered but not sought after. The price in the Star Alliance is already comparable to a starship.

There is also a clumping evergreen shrub whose leaves and branches contain a chemical component of an analgesic that hunters often need to use to treat high fever caused by wound infection. However, many synthetic drugs have severe side effects, and there will be a period of weakness after pain relief. However, this naturally derived analgesic drug causes very little side effects and has good biological activity. This is the conclusion that Tico and Likraber have drawn based on their own experience.

This place is indeed a treasure land for them. Both Tico and Likraber have marked this planet, and it is estimated that it will become their medicine garden in the next few years.

The white rabbit is grinding its three-petal mouth and eating the leaves of unknown plants. Many animals have innate intuition. They were aware of what they could eat and what they shouldn't eat. Seeing Tico's appearance, they clearly believed in the white rabbit's ability.

Gray cats have collected some nuts that are easy to store for a long time, and some fruits with thick flesh. During the collection, I always kept a video screen with Sigma. So Sigma can see their every move, comment on it now and then, and hear the babble.

The animals obviously didn't care whether there was any poisonous gas or poison secreted by the plants here. At least until now, these guys were still jumping around with excess energy.

Chi Feng grabbed a fruit and sniffed it, then started to eat it.

"Wow. What's that?"

Snowball ran over and grabbed a fruit from the tree, took a bite, and it was not bad, but soon Snowball's attention was attracted by another tree.

The tree is umbrella shaped. Often the branches hang down like a bell jar. What attracts the snowball is not the appearance of the tree, but the oval balls the size of watermelons on the drooping branches of the tree. (!Baidu search

Snowball went over and sniffed. He opened his mouth and took a bite on the top of the oval ball, and then some juice flowed out. Xueqiu licked it. It was very sweet and tasted good, better than fruit. So Snowball directly attached his mouth to it and sucked it up, and the plump ellipse slowly shrank. …

"Hey, what are you smoking?" Gray Cat asked.

Snowball snorted twice but didn't answer, changed to an oval ball and continued to suck.

The gray cat jumped onto a branch, followed Snowball's example, and took a bite at the top, licking the juice that flowed out. Then the dough is also added to it, as is Chifeng.

As a result, Sigma on the other side of the video screen was depressed, and circled around the room depressedly, protesting wah-wah, and finally announced: "Move that tree back!"

"How to bring it back?" After the gray cat licked one, it raised its paw and wiped its face. It fully agreed to move the tree back, but it was completely lazy to take care of it. _(..)

"Bring some back, definitely bring some back, I will open a small garden to plant them!" Sigma clapped his hands excitedly.

"Yeah——" Little Lovager jumped on Sigma's arm and echoed.

After discussing with each other, the last few little guys shouted directly: "Xilin—"

Xilin mourns in silence, this is fate!

Xilin went over to look at this tree. The sap in the oval fruit is very nutritious. Some vegetable oils are rare nutrients for humans, but they are unheard of for other plants growing in this area. Back off something.

These ellipsoids are equivalent to the liquid storage sac of this plant. There are a lot of vegetable oils with a delicate fragrance in the liquid storage sac. The smell of these vegetable oils is annoying to many plants. When they smell such a smell, they shy away, but gray cats and others But I like it, and so do people.

After the inspection, Xilin asked Xiying to help deal with the plants. Xilin didn't expect that group of foodies to be able to do this. If you destroy this forest, you may not be able to dig out a whole plant, not to mention that many plants still need nutrition. deal with.

These plants with ellipsoidal reservoirs belong to the "viviparous" species of plants.

In the vast majority of plants, after the seeds mature, they usually leave the mother body and radiate out, and then after a period of dormancy, they will germinate in the soil when they meet suitable conditions such as temperature and humidity, and gradually grow into a plant. Young plants. However, due to the complexity of the natural environment, the characteristics of plants are diversified, so that they can better adapt to the environment and survive. Therefore, there are also some angiosperms, which are like mammalian fetuses developing in the mother's body. When the seeds mature, they do not leave the mother's body immediately, but germinate in the fruit. They leave the mother body only after they grow into seedlings, so people call this kind of plants "viviparous plants".

The hanging branches of this plant are shrouded like a hood, and inside this hood, there are many "lanterns". actually. These are the seedlings that germinate from the seeds. When the seeds of this plant mature, there is almost no dormant period, and they germinate in the fruit without leaving the mother plant. The hypocotyls elongate and protrude from the pericarp, forming stick-shaped seedlings.

Break open a layer of membrane on the outside of the lantern, and you will see the larval plants growing inside that have not yet left the mother. Therefore, Xiying does not need to prune the parent plant or dig the whole tree when sampling, just collect some "lanterns".

In addition to this plant, there are many plants Sigma asked them to take back, and Sigma will plant it in its botanical garden. For these requirements of Sigma. Xilin agreed. After all, the entire base was contributed by Sigma. This small request is for the benefit of everyone. Of course, Xilin would not refuse.

After Xilin took Xiying to deal with a few plants, he left it to Xiying to operate. While collecting information, Xiying helped Gray Cats dig out the plants they had chosen, treated them with nutrient solution, and sealed them with a special film.

Tico and Likraber will also mark the tree species that need to be transplanted, and Xiying will select the best materials later...

Here, Xilin, Tico, and Likrabe are dealing with some useful plants, and Udo and Kari are also coming from the mining side. Seeing that Xilin and the others were not wearing protective clothing, Kari and Udo also took off their protective clothing.

Taking a breath, Kari sighed: "The air here is not bad."

Udo looked at the detector in his hand and said, "Yes. The conditions here are indeed much better than those over there...Hey, Xueqiu. Eat less, you will have diarrhea!"

Snowball eats more like a ball now. Seeing Udo, he was worried whether this guy would be overweight.

Hearing Udoze's shout, Sigma on the other end of the video screen asked suspiciously: "What is diarrhea?"

"Well, it's just that you can't help defecating." Udo explained.

Xilin and Cary turned their heads and pretended not to hear.

Udo saw the gray cat, Chifeng, and Xueqiu all looking at him. He was obviously a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and said: "Hey, you little guys, hurry up, when the energy ore is mined, we will go back to you." If you want to leave, look at your speed, there are still many places you haven’t gone? It’s rare to come out, you have to have fun.”

This remark undoubtedly resonated with the gray cats and the group. They stopped worrying about why they defecated uncontrollably, and turned around to look for more exotic plants.

Kari used to watch Tico and Likrabab handle medicinal plants and learn a little of it herself. But Udo didn't look at it for a while, he was attracted by a beautiful plant.

This plant is not tall, less than two meters. There is a bunch of feather-like things at the top, which are colorful. When the wind blows, it looks like a peacock spreading its tail. It also has a sweet fragrance. Wonderful.

Udo couldn't help but took out the filming device to take a picture of this scene.

Xilin was dealing with a plant, but saw that the vines beside him, which had been curled up because of his arrival, suddenly became excited. The vines stretched out and quickly stretched in one direction, and that direction was the direction where Udo was standing.

At the same time, the vines around Likrabab and the others also began to get excited, and at the same time they quickly extended towards Udo.

"Udoze, be careful!"

Xilin quickly ran over and popped out the wrist knife to cut off the extending vines. When the vines behind were all stretched forward, he took out a bottle of spray and sprayed it on Udoze's arms.

Cary and Rickrabbe also rushed to help, chopping the vines that stretched in all directions. They dare not use flames or ultra-low temperature freezing guns without authorization, because the surrounding environment is unstable, and the external image is too easy to change the environmental conditions here, so it is the safest way to chop with a knife.

When Xilin put on the protective mask for Udo, Udo was still a little dazed, why is this? He was planning to go up and cut vines, but now he was treated like a wounded person by Xilin, he was not injured... Huh? !

Udo looked at his arm. There were many bloodstains on it, and the blood was still dripping down. Xilin sprayed him with a compound spray and covered the wound to stop the blood from flowing. After wiping off the bloodstains, he wiped his hands Throwing the blotting paper to the distance, pulling Udo away from the spot.

After running for fifty meters, Udo looked at the original place again. The vines had covered it, and the place where the blood-stained blotting paper fell was also the gathering point of the vines, obviously. The vines were drawn by Udoze's blood.

"Don't be injured. Once the blood bleeds, it will trigger a series of movements." After all, Kari has experienced many things. After seeing this scene, he can roughly infer the reasons for the reactions of these plants and various possible situations.

Fortunately, only Udo was injured alone, if everyone had wounds. Everyone had to deal with the vines all over the place, and there was no time to stop the bleeding and clean the blood from the wound. Looking at the fine sawtooth on the vines that opened due to excitement, the situation might get worse. …

Udo was panting, and after putting on the protective mask, he gradually felt the pain in his arm.

"What's going on? I didn't notice that my arm was cut at all just now." Udo wondered why he was cut without feeling it just to take a photo. More than one cut? There was a lot of blood.

Likraber released a floating measuring instrument, and the measuring instrument came back after going around there, bringing some data.

"The gas released by that plant contains a lot of nitrous oxide, and a few other auxiliary gases that affect the nerves but will not cause fainting or death. After inhaling these gas mixtures, you will lose the pain sensation, but the body will still be awake. , The addition of auxiliary gas keeps the body's actions still unaffected, so that Udo didn't notice it at all." Likraber explained.

Nitrous oxide inhibits the release of excitatory transmitters in the central nervous system and the conduction of nerve impulses, so Udo was cut by the plant and bled without feeling anything.

Udo took a deep breath. He was so bold because Xilin and the others didn't wear protective clothing and nothing happened. It seems that he still has to be cautious.

As a hunter, Udo still has a lot to learn, vigilance is not spoken. Need to experience some things to be able to develop.

Although he experienced this incident, Udo was obviously not intimidated. Instead, I became interested. Wearing a protective mask and holding a measuring instrument in his hand. Look around for similar plants.

Xilin didn't care about him, this is also a kind of exercise, and it is good to accumulate more experience.

Going forward, there is a lake. There are some microalgae in the lake, but there are no fish, no aquatic animals, only countless plants ranging from tiny to huge with unclear names.

On the other side of the lake, there is a very tall tree, like a giant overlooking the living beings on the ground. Compared with it, Xilin on the ground is as small as an ant.

Xilin walked over to look at the situation around the giant tree, and finally came to a conclusion that this giant tree is the top of the food chain in this area. But the number of this kind of giant tree is not much, it can be said to be pitifully rare, this is a strategy for the corresponding environment formed by creatures in the evolution process, and it is also a natural rule.

Xilin found a "giant substance" in this giant tree, which made the tree grow bigger and bigger. After collecting some raw materials, Xilin looked at the sky, and the night was coming.

In the forest, the night is full of dangers, there will be all kinds of wild beasts, but there are no wild beasts here, what will the night be like here?

Although the light recedes, twilight falls.

At night, the most obvious thing is the row of trees not far away. The branches of those trees stretch out, and there is a big flower on the branch. The diameter of the flower is about 20 centimeters. It looks quite ordinary during the day of.

During the day, in this colorful field, this inconspicuous green flower will not attract too much attention, but when night comes, it gradually emits a whiter light, and the darker the night, the brighter the light.

The plants facing the light will slowly move over, and the vines will also move towards this side, and the other branches of the tree will firmly capture these plants that have been transferred into the trap, cutting off their link with the main body, Finally, it becomes the fertilizer for the growth of the body.

This is the strategy of plants, the trick of survival.

Because the air composition here will change at night, Xilin and others put on protective clothing and protective masks for safety.

Those luminous plants that are full will dim the light or turn off the light directly to save their own energy.

The night here is not long, but it is enough for some nocturnal plants to have a full meal. Most plants are sleeping. Plants are carrying out photosynthesis and respiration, exercising and sleeping during the day and night. In the forest without insects, there is only the sound of hunting exclusively for plants.

On this night, Xilin and the others saw the predation of nocturnal plants and the changes in the air composition in this area. It is no wonder that no animals were seen in this area. Many animals could not survive in such a gas environment.

This is a world belonging to plants. When there are no outsiders, they are the dominant residents of this area, fighting openly and secretly in the way of plants, and multiplying.

In the early morning, when a ray of local light shone on this vegetation zone, there was a muffled sound of thumping.

It was a tree as thick as five people's arms, and the tree was very tall. Of course, it couldn't be compared with the giant tree. There is a big bell-shaped flower at the top of this tree, and the sound comes from the flower on it.

After touching the natural light, these bell-shaped flowers began to sway, and then made that distant sound, announcing the end of night and the beginning of day.

After the bell-shaped flowers rang, some flowers that were closed at night gradually bloomed, and the sleeping plants gradually woke up, maybe they were also thinking about hunting the next target.

Xilin and the others looked at the light shining from the sky, and continued with their unfinished business.

A new day has begun. (To be continued..)
