Mage Joan

Qiao An carefully checked the attributes and special abilities of the "Magic Palace Rose Cluster", and then nodded in satisfaction.

The comprehensive strength of this group of delicate flowers even surpasses the yellow spring bee group from hell, and you can try it in actual combat in the future.

"Hey...good morning everyone!"

Joan tried to greet the roses telepathically.

"Good morning mom!"

There was a tender response in my mind, like the laughter of a group of little girls.

"mom"……

Qiao An shrugged helplessly, and was too lazy to explain to the roses that there was no such thing as a "male mother" creature. He was used to it anyway.

...

For the next week, Qiao Ann spent most of the time studying the Rose of the Devil in the laboratory from morning till night.

Judging from the current test results, the magic palace rose can survive in the sun, but lacks chlorophyll in the body and cannot carry out photosynthesis. It still needs to hunt animals to supplement nutrients in order to grow and develop normally, pollinate and set seeds.

During this period, Qiao An also discovered an interesting phenomenon.

Mogong Rose is a typical "dioecious plant" and "cross-pollination", and the distribution of the sexes in the population is not balanced, and it clearly shows the characteristics of multiple males and females.

For every 100 magic palace roses, the average number of female plants is usually no less than 90, and the remaining few male plants are responsible for pollinating all "lady sisters", which is very hard.

What's interesting is that the magic palace rose is not passively pollinated by wind or insect vectors like ordinary plants. The rose "lady sisters" are very feminist pioneers and firmly hold the right of reproduction in their own hands.

When the breeding season comes, the female plants will leave the soil, fly into the air, and surround a very small number of male plants, actively seeking pollination opportunities when they see the stitches.

Qiao An even saw more than a dozen female magic roses. In order to fight for the priority of pollination, he fought a fierce group fight, lest he fall behind other sisters. When it was his turn, the male flowers could not be extracted. How much healthy pollen...

What's even more amazing is that when the magic palace roses form clusters and acquire the brood will with intelligence as high as 6 points, they will adopt a more active and efficient way to obtain more and more priority pollination opportunities for their clusters.

So one evening, Qiao An was lucky enough to see six rose clusters, divided into two camps, and fought a vigorous offensive and defensive battle.

The defensive side focused on protecting its own male flower, while the offensive side tried to plunder the male flower of the opposing camp, and ended up hurting both sides and the ground was broken...

After a fierce battle, Qiao Ann counted the battle losses. A total of more than 20 "lady sisters" from both sides died. They gave young lives for this battle for reproduction rights. As for the male flowers who have never participated in the war, there are none. One casualty...

In order to avoid similar infighting from happening again, Qiao An had to adjust the layout of the laboratory and assign a small greenhouse to each rose cluster to avoid conflicts with each other.

In fact, there is no need for the Mogong Rose to **** the male flowers from other homes. The few male flowers in its own cluster are enough to pollinate all "lady sisters".

Qiao An still couldn't figure out at first, why do female roses do such a stupid thing that damages their flowers and harms them?

Later, he asked the green mother-in-law to discuss this phenomenon, but was mercilessly mocked.

"Stupid boy, don't you humans have been doing such stupid things?"

"Obviously having a spouse is enough to have children, but seeing other beautiful daughter-in-laws, isn't it the same as coveting and licentious? If you have a chance to hook up... huh, you know."

"Mother-in-law... The chariot wheel has been pressed to my face, why are you so skilled!"

In fact, the male flower has a very low status in the magic palace rose group. The entire value of the life is mainly reflected in the short pollination season.

After the pollination is completed, the exhausted male Devil Rose will wither and die within a month.

In contrast, the female Devil Rose has a longer life span.

Qiao An has tested using the "Sand of Time in the Group". The female Devil Rose uses flowering as a sign of sexual maturity and can maintain an average flowering period of up to ten years, while the average lifespan of male plants is only a short year.

In other words, every Miss Rose can have at least ten different spouses in her long life, and most of them are "little fresh meat" younger than herself...

While conducting experimental observations, Qiao An is also writing a paper on supernatural plant clusters.

The draft completed so far does not satisfy him.

The main shortcoming is that he only has a sample of Mogong Rose, and the conclusions drawn from Mogong Rose may not be applicable to other supernatural plant clusters.

The type of research sample is too single, even cross-category controlled experiments cannot be done, and the conclusion lacks sufficient data support. The whole paper appears to be too thin and too thin to be published in a high-scoring journal. For the sake of academic reputation, Qiao An will not submit any papers temporarily.

In the future, we must pay attention to searching for other supernatural plants with "cluster" attributes to provide richer research samples for this topic.

...

These days when Qiao Ann is immersed in research in the woods, Gayna and Hilde often visit his flower fields.

When the two ladies first saw the rose bushes growing in the greenhouse, they were deeply attracted by this beautiful plant.

Genna tried to pick a rose and put it on her hat as a decoration.

Qiao An hurriedly stopped the Winter Witch from committing death, and solemnly emphasized that the magic rose is very dangerous. Putting this kind of magic flower on his head is equivalent to a sharp sword hanging above his head, not a joke.

Realizing that Geena and Hilde showed a dubious look at their warnings, Qiao Ann awakened the brood will of the rose cluster through the "Branch of Ilminsur" and ordered the "daughters" to pull out the roots from the soil. Soar into the air and practice hunting skills.

Nearly a hundred fiery red roses flew up in the air in clusters, dancing like a group of beautiful butterflies. Even though they were simulating chasing prey, from the scene, they were more beautiful than when they were still.

Both Gaina and Hilde looked straight, held their breath, drunk, as if enjoying a magic show, and applauded afterwards, making Qiao Ann dumbfounded and so tired...

Fortunately, Clark arrived at the right time, carrying a half-dead polar bear on his shoulder.

"Brother Qiao'an, the experimental animal you wanted, I finally caught it and almost let this guy slip away!"

"Thanks for your hard work, Brother Clark, just leave the bear here, and it will come in handy right away."

Qiao An instructed the Frost Giant to throw the white bear into the greenhouse where the rose field is located, and then motioned everyone to follow him into the next office and observe the greenhouse through a transparent force field wall to see what happens next.
