Super Pickup King

So the taste is very good when you eat it, and they haven't eaten the fruit for too long. Even if it is a jujube, it feels delicious in the world.

After eating the sea, although the dates are sweet, they still have a bit of sourness. So after they finished eating, they stopped until their teeth couldn't bite. Tang Qi saw that everyone had a full meal. There was a satisfied look on his face, and then he said to them.

"Everyone is full. You should be able to continue looking for water after you are full. We haven't found a water source yet. Although this kind of jujube can quench our thirst, it is not easy to carry. We must continue to set off. Can you find water?"

Everyone must have listened to Tang Qi, but there is no such urgency to find water. After all, there are so many jujubes here. If you are thirsty, you can just pick it up and eat it.

When Tang Qi came over just now, he didn’t stop everyone. Instead, he watched Professor Gu studied the jujube. It was edible, and there was no blocking, so he just nodded and asked everyone to let go of their belly and eat. I'm full, but I'm not thirsty anymore.

It was only then that everyone was ordered to find water, so everyone was very convinced of Tang Qi. No one disobeyed Tang Qi's order and went around in a circle without finding the source of water.

It seems that you have to dig down, maybe you can dig out the groundwater, because there is no water on the surface, but there is such a dense forest growing, there must be groundwater, so thinking.

Jiang Yan put down his backpack and took out the shovel. It was dug directly in the denser place of the jujube tree, but the root of the jujube tree was very deep.

The sand was much easier to dig than he thought, and it was very soft. After a full digging, I dug very deep soon, and the more I dig, the more wet the sand becomes. Digging sand is no better than digging soil. Although it is not sticky, it can be seen that the sand seems to have been soaked by water. If you continue to dig down, you will surely be able to dig out an underground river.

However, Jiang Yan felt a little strange, and he looked at them directly and said, "Come over and take a look at these. The trees grow too strange. Do you see if their roots are all entangled with each other, as if they were a tree. With so many trees growing from the roots, it’s still hard to see, isn’t it? Is this all in the desert?"

The most curious about animals and plants is of course Qujing. I heard Jiang Yan’s behavior, so I went straight to it and saw that the roots of the trees are all entangled with each other. This tree grows on it.

This is really strange, Qu Jing explained directly to them. "It stands to reason that these trees can be grown by one follower, but such a large piece of Jujube tree grows from a single root, so I think there is something strange. It can't grow so many saplings. At the very least, it should be planted this piece, and then kept reproducing and growing."

"Could it be that there was only one tree alive, and then so many jujube trees grew? This is not justified. The first jujube tree that grew out should be the largest, but they all seem to be the same The big tree is indeed a bit puzzling. It seems that my knowledge is still a bit shallow."

If even Qu Jing can't explain it, then other people certainly can't explain it even more. They may not be able to understand the shallow knowledge of Qu Jing, let alone there is something more profound? Everyone couldn't help shook their heads. It didn't matter whether it was one tree or several trees, it didn't matter, anyway, water was about to be taken soon, and this wouldn't affect their survival.

Wang Ning's body has only recovered well, so Jiang Yan has contracted all these rough and exhausting tasks himself. To stop Wang Ning from doing it is to let Wang Ning rest. If anything happens to Wang Ning, they will not necessarily be able to take care of him.

Naturally, Wang Ning was at ease. Anyway, he was lazy along the way. Of course, he should do it at critical times. He did not do it less. But compared to before, when he was the main force, he was much more relaxed. On the contrary, The main force was replaced by Jiang Yan, and Jiang Yan also adapted well. Those who called them brothers and sisters, all the tasks arranged by Tang Qi were absolutely unambiguous and had a high degree of completion.

When going out, everyone didn't pay attention to anything, and no matter who listened to whose command, so everyone cooperated with each other and didn't really regard Tang Qi as the boss, but Tang Qi became their backbone.

He didn’t work less when he was supposed to do it. He was basically very active along the way. Tang Qi was doing this kind of work. So Tang Qi did everything in his eyes, so everyone saw it. Naturally, there is nothing to say.

At this moment, they were all awake with great difficulty. Tang Qi was able to have time, and Tang Qi rested. Let Tang Qiduo take a rest, because Tang Qi has the least rest time along the way, and everyone knows it, so there is no opinion about it.

Professor Gu took his assistant and began to study the trees here, because the trees here have a long age. For their archaeologists, no matter what? It is worth researching in their eyes.

However, at this moment, Professor Gu said to everyone strangely. "You see, this tree is the largest here, and the other trees have become enclosing gestures, as if wrapping this tree in the middle, all growing along this tree. I am also studying this largest tree here. At that time, I discovered that the other surrounding trees were growing in line with it, as if trying to protect him. He is the boss here, and the other trees are his younger brothers."

Tang Qi squinted for a while, and when Professor Gu said this, he opened his eyes directly! Professor Gu was a little embarrassed, this was not a discovery, and Tang Qi was directly disturbed.

And Tang Qi didn’t say anything, he walked over, stood in the position of Professor Gu, and looked around. As Professor Gu said, it was indeed encircled and wrapped the tree. In the middle, but these trees should have grown on their own, not artificially planted, so they cannot be artificial. It is very likely that there are some competitive relationships between these trees, or they are divided into different categories.

Of course, these Qu Jing knew the best, so Qu Jing also came over and looked around, agreeing with Professor Gu's statement, and said directly to Professor Gu.

"It's true. In fact, the competition in the plant world is no better than the competition in the animal world. They are also very fiercely competing for sunshine and water, so it is understandable that there is such a competitive relationship. This big tree At first glance, it grows very strong, it should be the big brother inside, so he absolutely does not allow other trees to compete for his resources."

"Whether it is the underground undercurrent or the sunlight above, he must be exclusive, so the other trees grow quite far from him, and he should occupy and control all the resources of this piece. If it is. If plants have thoughts, they can be interpreted from the middle."

Everyone nodded. It's a long experience. Although there have been such sayings before, they have not seen it with their own eyes. Now that they have seen it with their own eyes, I know that even the competition in the plant world is so cruel.

So as an animal, is there any reason not to continue working hard? Tang Qi thought so, shook his head, wondering what he was thinking about at the moment?

This only fully shows that even there is competition between plants, so they have no properties. For him, studying plants is really not a place where they have any properties.

However, at this moment, Professor Gu felt that the lines on the big tree were a little strange, so he asked his assistant to depict the lines. While the assistant was painting, Professor Gu was still studying.

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, looked at the big guy, and said. "I found the secret here. That's how it is."

Everyone didn't know what secret Professor Gu had discovered, so they all looked at Professor Gu. At this time, Professor Gu directly cleared the lines on the tree. It directly formed a totem, but they didn't know this picture, and Professor Gu seemed to know it.

Tang Qi looked at Professor Gu's expression that he would like to hear the details, and Professor Gu did not sell Guanzi for the time being. He drew it carefully according to the lines, and then at the bottom of the lines, there was a picture of a vine that looked like an eye. , I rubbed it on, and saw that the eye-like thing suddenly started to shine.

It was originally brown like a tree, but because of Professor Gu's friction, it suddenly became shiny, like a gem. Jiang Yan came over here and saw this gem.

"I'm going, it's really a gem. What is in this tree? There are gems. I am really more and more curious. We have nothing to gain except for loss along the way? If we can get it If you have a batch of gems, it really makes a lot of money."

Tang Qi didn't expect that he still had such a dedication to gems, so he shook his head and patted his shoulder twice. Jiang Yan also knew that there should be a flash of greed in his eyes just now, so Tang Qicai warned him like this, smiled embarrassedly, and said to Tang Qi,

"I'm so sorry. But to tell you the truth, the last time we came to the desert with a group of adventurers and archaeologists was to find a group of gems, so we also conducted systematic training. , Let us identify gems, but the knowledge I learned is not useful at all, so I am full of all kinds of eagerness for gems. I will inevitably get excited when I see gems at this moment. Forgive me. I am not true. Greed, I have had this kind of training before. That's it."

Tang Qi smiled and didn't mean to blame him. People who are truly greedy, seeing gems, would definitely not have his pious heart. Although he also showed a greedy expression, it was obviously not that at all. Tang Qi could still see this from a greedy person, after all, he was very accurate in seeing people.
