Chapter 753: Clues

Chu Jiaqiang found some traces, although they were not obvious, but they were undoubtedly left by the blood spirit beast. He found faint paw prints on some tree trunks, the masterpiece of the Blood Spirit Beast shuttling through the woods. In other words, the Blood Spirit Beast did not touch the ground at all, but jumped from tree to tree.

"It's just caught." Chu Jiaqiang pointed to a paw print on the trunk of a shrub on the side and said.

Everyone looked over, and the bark of the trunk was scratched, leaving a few claws, and the sap was still flowing continuously. It can be seen that this claw mark has indeed just been left.

"Don't touch it, the sap of this tree will itch when it touches the skin." Chu Jiaqiang saw that a team member wanted to touch it with his hand, and immediately stopped him. He had been tricked before, not only to relieve the itch, but also to get a rash, and he didn't dare to climb this kind of tree when he saw it.

Although they are all experts in biology, they are not good at the same, most of them are experts who are good at animals, and they don't know much about plants. It is in this way that the man does not know that the sap of this plant can cause skin allergies.

Professor Wen took a closer look with a flashlight and said with a smile: "This is a fig tree, it is a small poison, and some people's skin may be allergic, not absolutely. ”

He explained to Chu Jiaqiang that this kind of tree will be a little less in the south, and it will not be able to see flowering, but it will bear fruit, so it is called figs. When ripe, the fruit is purple, the flesh is soft and rotten, and the taste is sweet like a persimmon without a pit.

"Can it still eat its fruit?" Chu Jiaqiang glared and said. He had long noticed that the wild fruit tree would not bloom. I used to be curious, how can it bear fruit without flowering? Later, I learned from the medical book that this is a medicinal herb that can cure hemorrhoids, but I don't know that I can eat it casually.

In fact, Chu Jiaqiang didn't know that the leaves of the fig tree were thick and green, but the flowers were very small, covered by branches and leaves, and were not easy to find. When the fruit grows, the flower has already fallen off, so it is considered to be "fruitless without flowers", hence the name. Figs bloom in summer and bear fruit in autumn, the fruit is oblate or ovate, the tip is cracked when ripe, the flesh is soft and rotten, and the taste is as sweet as a banana.

There are many folk stories about figs, and one of them is quite interesting.

It is said that at the beginning, figs are flowering, accompanied by a strong floral fragrance, which is cultivated by a fruit farmer all his life, and the fruit can not only quench hunger and thirst, but also cure a variety of diseases. However, he was favored by the local greedy Khan and asked for it to be transplanted into the royal palace.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and the fruit farmers had no choice but to cut off the branches, give them to the blind date, and transplant the fruit trees to the past. However, the transplanted fruit trees did not survive, but the branches of the cuttings of the villagers were full of flowers the next year.

The fragrance of flowers wafted into the palace, causing the king of Khan to be furious, and beat the fruit farmers and others, and destroyed the fruit trees by the way, and what he could not get, others were not entitled to get.

However, a year later, the destroyed fruit trees are still growing, and the flowers are full of flowers. Everyone was worried, for fear that the fragrance of flowers would bring suffering to everyone, and they wanted to bear fruit if they didn't bloom.

At this time, if the spirit of the gods is revealed, all the flowers disappear, and after a while, the tree bears full fruit. Thus, the fruit tree was called a fig.

"Why can't you eat it? You can buy it online, don't you know? Xu Hao said.

Everyone searched around again, and within a radius of twenty meters, there were only two trees with the claw marks of the blood spirit beast, which surprised everyone.

"Does this animal not like to touch the ground?" Professor Wei had to question.

"It should be, it seems that what Jia Qiang said before is true. The Blood Spirit Beast's hind legs are well developed, giving it a powerful jumping ability. Professor Wen speculated.

Seeing that these biologists wanted to track them down, Chu Jiaqiang immediately jumped out to stop them. When is it now? Not to mention the cold and full of danger, it is definitely not a good proposition.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow! Safety is paramount. Chu Jiaqiang said.

Professor Wen and the others couldn't, so they could only resist the urge to catch up and continue to get into the tent, estimating that they wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

This time, Chu Jiaqiang didn't dare to be careless, and released his divine sense, enveloping a radius of one thousand meters, and all the wind and grass could not escape his induction.

After a long night, almost everyone doesn't sleep well, and it's no wonder that sleeping in a tent in the wild in this kind of weather is comfortable.

Professor Wen and the others could no longer resist the urge to explore, and followed the footprints of the Blood Spirit Beast, tracking all the way. If it weren't for Chu Jiaqiang's strong divine sense, it would be impossible to find the claw marks of the blood spirit beast and continue to keep up.

On the way, everyone saw a python with thick arms frozen on the ground, and was taken away by a team member, saying that it was taken back for taxidermy. At that time, Chu Jiaqiang didn't look at it much, he was afraid of snakes.

It is also common for snakes to run out for a walk in winter and freeze to death. They are ectotherms and need to find a cool or warm environment to change their body temperature, and they lack the physiology to maintain a certain body temperature, such as a well-established heart.

Needless to say, the snake must have been overly hungry, so he ventured out to find food and took his life.

"Can you still see footprints around?" Professor Wen and the others looked at Chu Jiaqiang. Along the way, almost all of them were Chu Jiaqiang who found clues, so everyone pinned their hopes on him.

"I haven't found it yet, let's look for it first!" Actually, Chu Jiaqiang knew it for a long time. It's just that he can't just walk over and point out the traces to everyone, and people think he's seen a ghost! Either you found out beforehand, or even made it up yourself, otherwise how do you know so well?

It took two turns to identify a claw mark. This kind of carpeted search makes everyone tired.

"When will this be found?" Someone is about to lose it.

"It's okay, the blood spirit beast doesn't like to go around, otherwise you will have more headaches." Chu Jiaqiang said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Jiaqiang turned his head suddenly, didn't say a word, and immediately rushed out, leaving only a smaller and smaller figure for everyone.

"Is this guy still not human?" Seeing that Chu Jiaqiang disappeared from everyone's sight in a few seconds, Xu Hao was dumbfounded and said, it was the first time he had seen Chu Jiaqiang's terrifying speed.

"He may have discovered the Blood Spirit Beast, let's hurry up and keep up." Professor Wei said excitedly.

They guessed correctly, Chu Jiaqiang had indeed discovered the Blood Spirit Beast, which flashed from the range of his divine sense, leaving only an afterimage. It was in this way that he rushed out immediately without saying hello.

Everyone put the other items in place, traveled lightly, and quickly rushed to the direction where Chu Jiaqiang left. Although there is a lot of hope that Chu Jiaqiang will catch up with the blood spirit beast, after all, the speed of the blood spirit beast is not something that humans can catch up.

Everyone ran out of breath, and finally saw Chu Jiaqiang, but they were told that the blood spirit beast had escaped. This result was expected, but it was still extremely disappointing.
