Chapter 293 Cultivating Ghost Orchids

Feng Tiance looked at the two leopards lying in the open space in front of the wooden house, and laughed: "What are you two guys doing? Are you going to guard my camp? However, if you stay here, don't eat my sheepdogs!"

Of course, this is a joke, the leopard is nocturnal and can cover about twenty kilometers in its range.

So, the other three leopards should have gone further afield. Like the four big leopards of the first generation, they have been living together, and it is only a special case.

The sheepdogs will always be active in this col, and they are the main force guarding the camp. It's just that they are also a little afraid of these two leopards, so they can only hide far away.

As he spoke, Feng Tiance brought out hundreds of rabbits. As soon as these little guys came out, they fled in all directions in terror, and they were also frightened by the money leopard.

"Alright, with these sheepdogs and two leopards over here, this col is very safe. ”

The wild animals, including leopards, that Feng Tiance releases into and around the camp do not restrict their movements. is still the same sentence, love to stay, don't love to stay, you can leave at any time.

Then he went to look at the six orchids and sprayed them again with some well water dilution. This kind of bluegrass is so precious that discovering their existence is a matter of complete luck.

Next, it was time for him to collect the species. Now it's not just plants but also insects. Nowadays, collecting insects is not as laborious as before. Now as long as you see it, you can throw these little things into space in an instant.

Before he knew it, he had collected no less than a hundred species of insects of all kinds, as well as countless trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants throughout the col. And the sky slowly darkened, and Feng Tiance left the camp and returned to the stone fort.

He didn't set up the camp to run the col. He mainly wanted to build a forward base to prepare for the later advance into the deeper jungle.

The next day, he went to observe the ghost orchid transplanted into the space, and found that its flowering period had long passed and had begun to bear seeds. He walked around the neighborhood and found a few seeds of ghost orchids.

It seems that the ghost orchid has experienced several flowering and seeding in the space. However, due to the relatively small size of its seeds, most of them may have been blown away by the wind.

Feng Tiance carefully put these seeds into the collection bottle, and went to see the growth of the alder tree.

The spores of the alder tree matured a little earlier than he had estimated, and the spores could now be collected. So, he cut off many small leaves on both sides of the side branches of the alder tree and put them on the rain verandah of the space cabin to dry.

This process was the easiest, and when he returned to the stone castle to drink a pot of tea, he came back and came back, and it was completely completed. At this time, the leaf and the spores attached to it have been separated. He put the leaves into a sieve to sift the spores and black powder, and then collected the mixture for later use.

"Where will you plant the alder tree in the future? Well, let's plant it near the orchard in Nanshan. ”

Feng Tiance soon came to the orchard of Nanshan, cultivated a damp, half-yin, half-yang land near it, and sowed the mixture.

Next, pour the well water dilution and wait for them to sprout.

"I guess it will be budding soon, and then I can collect the branches of the mother alder tree. ”

After the budding, Feng Tiance can basically be sure that the alder tree has been successfully cultivated. The mother tree before that was not very useful, and some branches could be cut down to be used as a carrier for cultivating ghost orchids.

The so-called carrier, which is also a container, is used to hold beech rot leaves, and the figurative explanation is that it is a pot woven from sun-dried alder branches.

The rotten leaves of beech wood are easy to find, and there are a lot of them on the north mountain of space, so it can be said that everything is ready now.

After eating at noon, Feng Tiance couldn't help but go to Nanshan to take a look again, hey, I didn't expect the alder tree to sprout.

"Spore propagation is not the same as seed propagation, at least the germination time is shorter. ”

Feng Tiance did not study this phenomenon in depth, he hurriedly went to cut down a bundle of branches of the mother tree and put it to dry in the sun.

When he goes back for a nap, the shoots can be used as baskets. The work was not difficult, and soon a container in the shape of a flower pot was made.

"Come, there is one last step left, and whether it succeeds or not is just this last trembling!"

He put the beech rot leaves he had prepared in advance into the pot, then opened the collection bottle, carefully poured out a ghost orchid seed, and sprinkled it on top of the rotten leaves.

After thinking about it, Feng Tiance decided to take a risk and simply sprayed some of the original solution of the magic well water on the seeds.

After that, he placed the pot in a damp and dark place, and continued to weave the alder branch pot. He cut off the branches from the mother tree and finally weaved five pots, and just as he had five seeds in his hand, he planted them all separately.

Counting the previous pot, Feng Tiance cultivated a total of six pots of ghost orchids. Three of the basins were watered with the original solution of well water, while the other three basins were watered with dilution of well water to avoid accidents.

The rest is to wait. Theoretically, when he comes in again, it should be the time for these pots of ghost orchids to sprout or even grow.

Feng Tiance pressed the expectation in his heart, returned to the stone castle and brought some items, and then came to the camp in the col again.

On the camp's side, he brought only a few small items. For example, such as a small charcoal stove, a set of tea sets, some candles for lighting, a few simple tools, and so on.

For the time being, he has no intention of living here, and there is no need for it. These things are only used occasionally when resting in the camp.

Walking out of the wooden house, the two leopards were still napping outside the door. Seeing Feng Tiance, the two guys let out a low roar, and even if they had said hello, they continued to pretend to sleep.

These two second-generation leopards were very clingy to him when they were young. But as he grows older, his own personality slowly becomes apparent. Although he is still very obedient, he will not make up for people when he has nothing to do.

"Don't sleep, you two come with me to the north to have a look......"

In the four directions of the col, the path to the stone fort is to the east, and the other three directions have not been explored in depth.

Feng Tiance lightly kicked the two leopards, and the two leopards quickly stood up and followed him towards the north of the mountain pass.

When you reach the edge of the col, the terrain rises sharply. If you need to continue walking here, you have to climb the mountain.
