Chapter 272: The Lightning Tree in Peat
Duo'er entered the space, meditated in the kitchen of the bamboo house, and waited until it was completely calm before beckoning Wuwei to start refining the Thunder Food Pill. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The so-called can make perfect, last night she refined five furnaces in one go, and the feeling was still there, she finished practicing all the thunder fruits in her hand while the iron was hot, and harvested fifty thunder food pills.
When Ming Fengrui returned, it was already dark, and he was ready to go.
Locals in Thunder City, if they are collecting at close range, generally set off after a thunderstorm and return early the next morning, preferring to work at night rather than experience a thunderstorm in the rainforest.
Ming Fengrui and Duo'er came out in a very tight time this time, and they didn't plan to explore and collect, they had to go directly to the destination to find the lightning tree. Therefore, both of them decided to leave overnight, did not even eat dinner, and only took nutritional pills separately.
From Thunder City to the target forest area, it only takes more than one star hour to take a flying car. It's just that, although there are coordinates, they are only the general activity area, and the exact coordinates of the lightning tree are not recorded, and they still need to find them by themselves.
Sitting on Ming Fengrui's newly modified chariot, the two of them each looked down with a high-powered night vision binocular, and they could see nothing but dense forests or dense forests.
Ming Fengrui turned on the light screen and watched the video of picking the thunder fruit over and over again, "From the image, the thunder tree grows in a swamp, and the surrounding rainforest is new, and the age of the tree is relatively young. ā
Duo'er also discussed with Wuwei in her mind: "How to find the lightning tree, where does it grow?" ā
After seeing that the master was busy with that man these days, Wuwei cut off the spatial connection at every turn, and he was already angry in his heart: "The whole body of the lightning tree is charred black, like burned wood, and there are no bare leaves. It resembles a tree but not a tree, like a stone but not a stone, it is indestructible after the baptism of thunder and fire, it is fire-resistant and electrified, and the whole tree contains a lot of thunder and lightning power......"
Duo'er impatiently interrupted the five flavors that shook her head and tail: "You've said all this, how to find the problem." ā
"Don't worry, isn't that what I'm about to say! But...... Interrupted by you and forgotten. Wuwei shook his body in the space and laughed ruffianly: "Where are they?" Why can't I remember? ā
"Five flavors, hum hum! Do you want to cook a pot of live bony fish? I've got quite a few of them, you're welcome! Do'er was threatening, but she remembered that the metal-sucking bony fish were the natural enemies of the five flavors.
Wuwei shook his body for a moment, and then said casually: "No, I'm not interested in that creature." Oh, Uncle Ben remembered! ā
"The lightning trees are very tall so that they can attract lightning strikes. Moreover, forest fires often occur around them, and once they start, it is difficult to extinguish. The trees around them have changed one stubble after another, and it is sad enough to be neighbors with them. Wuwei sighed as he spoke.
"Point, don't talk nonsense." Duo'er listened anxiously and urged tightly.
"It's gone!" Wuwei shook his body and said irresponsibly: "I know the growing environment, and I don't have to cut down trees, I haven't looked for it." ā
"That tree contains thunder and lightning, how do you cut down the tree and get the core of the tree?" Duo'er saw that this guy was like squeezing toothpaste, so she had to ask herself.
Wuwei laughed out loud: "I can't find it, so I'm worried." ā
"When there is too much water in the lightning tree, it will produce lightning fruit to export water, and then it will consume lightning energy. If you find it, of course, you will collect the dethunder fruit first. The more fruit a lightning tree grows, the worse its own strength will be, and it is also the safest time. ā
Duo'er asked a few more questions, and saw that Wuwei really couldn't say anything else, so she let it go.
Ming Fengrui also relied on years of experience in exploration to find clues from video materials.
From the air, the rainforest area is densely covered with tree canopies, and you can't see whether the ground is swampy or sandy, but there are differences due to the different terrain.
Rainforest areas receive a lot of rainfall, and forests are often inundated during the flood season, making them prone to swampy forests. He called up the map of the flood period, compared it with the current one, and quickly determined the general location.
Duo'er also told him in detail the information he had just gotten, Ming Fengrui looked at the time, and it was about to dawn, and he thought about it and said: "Let's rest in the air for a while, and when the dawn is looking, the scorched black color of the lightning tree is not obvious at night." ā
"Good!" Seeing that he had a plan, Duo'er obediently closed her eyes and rested on the back of the speed car seat. Ming Fengrui turned on the defense of the flying car, turned around to help her lower the angle of the seat, and then held her to close her eyes and recuperate.
The sun hadn't risen yet, the sky was already bright, and Duo'er felt that she had just closed her eyes and the sky was bright.
Through the telescope, he searched in the area pointed out by Ming Fengrui, and soon found a black dead branch in a green canopy. If you don't know its characteristics, you will definitely think that it is a different tree that has been struck by lightning.
The dead branches are a lot higher than the canopy, like in the image, and a long branch points arrogantly to the sky, as if waving to attract it, worthy of the name "leading thunder". Hidden in the canopy of the branches, faintly showing a little red, it should be the thunder fruit.
"Let's go, go down and have a look!" Ming Fengrui adjusted the control screen and manually drove the flying car there.
Up close, it was the lightning tree in the image, which looked like a black telephone pole, straight into the rainforest, and the main trunk was as thick as two people hugging each other. The purple-red fruit on the trunk of the tree grows around the tree in circles, and the number is too numerous to count.
The surrounding alien trees were far away from it, as if they knew this guy's danger.
"This tree looks like it's not a short year, and with so many thunder fruits, that kid is blessed." Five flavors muttered to herself in Duo'er's mind.
"Uh-huh, you're going to get busy." Duo'er exclaimed, "You can refine a lot of food pills." ā
"Wrong, it's you busy, I don't care, you refine your Dan and I'll sleep with me." Wuwei laughed.
The speeding car descended into the gap around the lightning tree, and the surface was a black swamp. Due to the dense canopy of the rainforest, the understory is not sunny enough, and the heterogeneous plants grow upwards, and there are few shrubs and weeds on the ground. Therefore, this black swamp has few different plants, and there are puddles everywhere, and there are only relatively hard fields at the roots of different plants.
Ming Fengrui let the two flight detection robots out. After a while, a string of data was transmitted, and he showed his original expression: "It's actually in a peat swamp, and there are no strange beasts around, I'm afraid they are also afraid." ā
Doll knows about peat bogs, where plants that have survived fire and death soak and accumulate to form peat.
These peats prevent moisture from evaporating during periods of low rainfall and absorb rainfall during periods of high rainfall. During particularly long periods of drought, the water in the swamp evaporates and dries out, making it particularly susceptible to burning.
No wonder Gomi says that once a fire starts, it is difficult to extinguish because the fire has extended to the deep peat. Fortunately, it is not the dry season, otherwise this thunder tree can detonate the powder magazine below with a random discharge, which is too terrible.
"The people who sell the news are too disrespectful, and they don't explain such an important sign." Doll muttered unhappily.
Ming Fengrui smiled dumbly and touched her head: "I have given enough, there are maps, coordinates, and video data, and we haven't spent much time looking for it." (To be continued.) )
