star hunter

Where animals and plants grow intertwined, there will be a lot of hallucinogenic gases and other toxic gases released, which will directly knock down the animals among the plants. However, in this plant forest, there are not many such high-risk toxic gases released.

, replaced by internal contents.***

Toxins are contained in them. When hostile species of plants meet, they will release the toxins in their bodies, cut through each other's skin and seep in. Some toxins can directly turn hostile species into liquid and become fertilizer for their own growth.

.

Some of the tree plants here are not completely still in place. Many plants can move. Although the lateral movement speed of most of them is far less than that of a turtle, compared with plants on other planets,

The plants here are already very special.

Many plants contain various rare drugs. Drugs directly isolated from plants will contain considerable activity and are much more effective than drugs synthesized by machines. They can also avoid some allergic and rejection stress reactions, so generally speaking

, in the Star Alliance, the price of natural medicines isolated from plants is hundreds of times higher than synthetic medicines.

All of this surprised Tico and Liclab. They easily extracted hallucinogens and other neurotoxins with high purity and activity from several plants. Tico and Liclab have been busy since they arrived.

, they generally do not use robots when processing materials, they all do it by themselves. The medicinal raw materials collected are indeed worthwhile. These medicinal materials are rare pure natural raw materials, and there are two types that are rare but not available.

.The price in the Star Alliance is already comparable to that of a starship.

There is also a bushy evergreen shrub whose leaves and branches contain a chemical component of analgesics that hunters often need to use, which can treat high fevers caused by wound infections. However, many synthetic drugs have serious side effects.

, there will be a period of weakness after experiencing analgesia. However, the side effects caused by this naturally extracted analgesic drug are minimal and the biological activity is very good. This is what Tico and Liclab learned based on their own experience.

conclusion drawn.

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

The white rabbit was eating the leaves of an unknown plant with its three-petal mouth. Many animals have innate intuition. They can all realize what they can eat and what they shouldn't eat. Looking at Tico's look, she obviously trusts this white rabbit.

Rabbit's abilities.

The gray cats collected some nuts that are easy to store for a long time, as well as some fleshy fruits. While collecting, they always maintained a video screen with Sigma. So Sigma could see their every move, comment on them from time to time, and also

A "beep" sound can be heard.

Those animals obviously don't care at all whether there are any poisonous gases or poisons secreted by plants. At least until now, these guys are still jumping around with too much energy.

Chi Feng grabbed a fruit, smelled it, and began to eat it.

"Wow. What is that?"

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

This tree is umbrella-shaped, and its hanging branches often resemble bell jars. What attracted Snowball was not the shape of the tree, but the oval balls the size of watermelons on the tree's hanging branches.

Snowball went over and smelled it. Then he opened his mouth and took a bite on the top of the oval ball, and then some juice flowed out. Snowball licked it, and it was very sweet and tasted good, better than fruit. So Snowball directly put it in his mouth

It attached to it and sucked it up, and the plump oval ball slowly deflated.

"Hey, what are you sucking?" the gray cat asked.

Xueqiu snorted twice without answering, changed to an oval ball and continued to suck.

The gray cat jumped onto a branch and imitated the snowball, biting the top and licking the juice that came out. Then the dough was added to it, as was Chifeng.

So, Sigma on the other side of the screen became depressed, circling in the room depressedly, protesting, and finally announced: "Move that tree back!"

"How to take it back?" After the gray cat licked one, he raised his paw and wiped his face. He fully agreed to move the tree back, but he was completely too lazy to take care of it. (

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

"Eaaah-" Little Lovage jumped on Sigma's arm in agreement.

The last few little guys discussed it and shouted: "Xilin——"

Xilin mourned in silence, this is fate!

Xilin went over to take a look at this tree. The juice in the oval fruit is very nutritious. Some plant oils are rare nutrients for humans, but they are unheard of for other plants growing in this area.

Something to retreat from.

These ellipsoids are equivalent to the plant's liquid reservoir, which contains a lot of fragrant plant oils. The smell emitted by these plant oils is disgusting to many plants. They will retreat when they smell such a smell, but gray cats and others

But I like it very much, and so do humans.

After the test, Xilin asked Xiying to help deal with the plants. Xilin didn't expect that group of foodies to be able to do this. If the forest was destroyed, it might not be possible to dig out a complete plant, not to mention that many plants still need nutrients.

deal with.

This kind of plant with an ellipsoidal fluid reservoir belongs to the "viviparous" species of plants.

In most plants, after the seeds mature, they usually leave the mother body and are emitted. Then, after a period of dormancy, when they encounter suitable temperature, humidity and other conditions, they will germinate in the soil and gradually grow into a plant.

Young plants. However, due to the complexity of the natural environment, the characteristics of plants have become diverse, allowing them to 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 immediately, but germinate in the fruit. They will not leave the mother until they grow into seedlings, so people call this type of plant "viviparous plant".

The hanging branches of this plant are shrouded like a cover. Inside this cover, there are many "lanterns". In fact, these are seedlings sprouted from seeds. When the seeds of this plant mature, there is almost no dormancy period and they will not leave.

The mother plant germinates in the fruit, and the hypocotyl elongates and protrudes outside the peel, forming rod-shaped seedlings.

If you break the membrane outside the lantern, you will see the young plants growing inside that have not yet left the mother. Therefore, when Xiying takes samples, there is no need to prune the mother plant or dig up the whole tree. It only needs to collect some "lanterns".

good.

In addition to this plant, there are many plants that Sigma asked them to take back. Sigma wants to plant them in its botanical garden. Xilin agreed to these requirements of Sigma. After all, the entire base was contributed by Sigma. This is a small thing.

The requests are all requests that benefit everyone, and Xilin will certainly not refuse.

Xilin took Xiying to process a few plants and left them to Xiying to operate. While collecting information, Xiying helped Gray Cat and the others dig out the plants they selected, treat them with nutrient solution, and then seal them with a special film.

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

Here, Xilin, Tico, and Li Krabo are dealing with some useful plants. Udoze and Kali are also coming from the mining side. Seeing that Xilin and the others are not wearing protective clothing, Kali and Udoze are also wearing protective clothing.

Take off your clothes.

Taking a breath, Kari sighed: "The air here is pretty good."

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

Snowball now eats more like a ball. Udo is worried that this guy may be too obese.

Hearing Udoze's shout, Sigma on the other side of the screen asked doubtfully: "What is diarrhea?"

"Ahem, it means I can't help but defecate." Udo explained.

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

Udo saw Gray Cat, Chifeng, and Snowball looking at him, obviously a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and said: "Hey, you guys, hurry up, wait until the energy ore is mined."

If you want to leave, look at your speed, there are still many places you haven’t visited yet? It’s a rare trip, but you have to enjoy it.”

These words undoubtedly resonated with the gray cats. They stopped worrying about why they couldn’t help but defecate, and turned around to look for more novel plants.

Kari went over to watch Tico and Lickabo handle medicinal plants, and he also learned a little bit. However, Udo looked at it for a while and then stopped looking. He was attracted by a beautiful plant.

This plant is not high, 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 opening its tail. It is very beautiful, and it also has a sweet fragrance. It is so beautiful.

Udo couldn't help but take out his shooting device and take a picture of this scene.

Xilin was handling a plant when he saw that the vines next to him that had curled up due to his arrival suddenly became excited. The vines stretched out and quickly extended in one direction, and that direction was the direction where Udo was standing.

At the same time, the vines around Li Krabo and the others began to get excited, and at the same time they quickly extended towards Udoze.

"Udoze, be careful!"

Xilin quickly ran over and took out his wrist knife to cut off the extending vines. When the vines behind him were all stretching forward, he took out a bottle of spray and sprayed it on Wu Duoze's arm.

Kari and Lycrabo also rushed over to help, chopping down the vines extending in all directions. They did not dare to use flames or ultra-low temperature freezing guns without authorization, because the surrounding environment was unstable, and external images could easily change the environmental conditions here.

, it is safest to chop with a knife.

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

?!

Udo looked at his arm. There were a lot of blood stains 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 blood stains, he wiped his hands.

He threw the absorbent paper away and pulled Udo away from the place.

After running fifty meters, Udo looked back at the original place. The vines had already covered it, and the place where the blood-stained absorbent paper fell was also the gathering point of the vines. Obviously, these vines were caused by Udo.

Then the blood attracts the past.

"You must not be injured. Once bleeding occurs, a series of events will occur." After all, Kari has experienced many things. Seeing this scene, he can roughly deduce the reasons for the reaction of these plants and various possible situations.

Fortunately, only Udo was injured. If everyone had wounds on their bodies. Everyone had to deal with the vines everywhere, and there was no time to stop the bleeding and clean the blood on the wounds. Look at the fine serrations on the vines that opened due to excitement.

The situation may get worse.

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

"What's going on? I didn't even notice that my arm was cut just now." Udo was very confused. He was just taking a photo. How could he be cut without any awareness? There were more than one cut.

The wound? There was a lot of blood.

Lickabo released a floating measuring instrument, which circled around and came back with some data.

"The gas released by that plant contains a lot of nitrous oxide, and a few other auxiliary gases that have an impact on the nerves but will not cause fainting or death. After inhaling these gas mixtures, you will lose your sense of pain, but your body will still be awake.

, the addition of auxiliary gas allows the human body's movements to remain unaffected, so Udo is not aware of it at all." Lickrab explained.

Nitrous oxide inhibits the release of excitatory transmitters and the conduction of nerve impulses in the central nervous system, so Udo felt nothing when he was cut by the plant and bled.

Udo took a deep breath. He was so bold because he saw that Xilin and the others were not wearing protective clothing and nothing had happened. It seemed that he still had to be cautious.

As a hunter, Udo still has a lot to learn. Vigilance cannot be said. It requires experiencing some things to cultivate it.

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

Xilin ignored him. This was also a kind of exercise. It was good to accumulate more experience.

Continuing forward, there is a lake with some microalgae in the water, but there are no fish or any aquatic animals, only countless unnamed plants ranging from tiny to huge.

At the other end of the lake, there is a very tall tree, like a giant looking down at all living beings on the ground proudly. Compared with it, the trees on the ground are as small as ants.

Xilin walked over and looked at the situation around the giant tree, and finally came to the conclusion that this kind of giant tree is the top of the food chain in this area. However, there are not many of these giant trees. It can be said to be pitifully rare. This is a biological

Strategies formed during the evolutionary process to correspond to the environment are also natural rules.

Xilin found a "giant substance" in this giant tree. This "giant substance" made the tree grow bigger and bigger. After collecting some primitive substances, Xilin looked at the horizon and saw that night was coming.

In the forest, the night is full of dangers, and there will be all kinds of wild beasts. But if there are no wild beasts here, what would the night be like here?

Although the light recedes and dusk falls.

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

of.

During the day, in this vast field of purple and red, this inconspicuous green flower will not attract much attention, but when night comes, it gradually emits a white light. The darker the night, the brighter the light.

The plants facing the light will slowly move over, and the vines will also move this way, and the other branches on the tree will firmly capture these plants that have been transferred into the trap, cutting off their connection with the main body.

Finally, it becomes fertilizer for the growth of the body.

This is the strategy of plants, their survival skills.

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

After being fed, those glowing plants will dim the light or extinguish it directly to save their own energy.

The nights here are not long, but they are enough for some nocturnal plants to have a full meal. Most of the plants are sleeping, and the plants are carrying out photosynthesis and respiration, movement and sleep during the day and night. In the forest without the sound of insects

, only the sudden sound of hunting 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. It is impossible for many animals to 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 a plant-like way to thrive.

In the early morning, when a bright light shone on this plant area, a dull thumping sound was heard.

It was a tree as thick as five people could hug each other. It was very tall, and of course it couldn't be compared with the giant tree. There was a big bell-shaped flower on the top of this tree, and the sound came from the flower on it.

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

After the bells rang, some flowers that had been closed at night gradually bloomed, and the sleeping plants gradually woke up. Perhaps they were also thinking about hunting their next target.

Xilin and others looked at the light coming from the sky and continued to do their unfinished business.

A new day has begun again. To be continued...
