Chapter 322: Survival in the Wilderness

The canyon bends and turns, the front is magnified impressively, there is a rectangular quagmire with a width of about several meters, both sides are dense aquatic plants, connected with rocky slopes, large and small fractures criss-crossed, and many stone crevices and caves formed by weathering and erosion.

At this time, there was another strange thing, that is, there was not a pit viper around this mire, which was also very strange!

There was a long valley on the other side, and Princess Martha was also a cautious person, so naturally she would not be stupid enough to wade through the mud and swamp barefoot, and looked left and right, feeling that she could crawl through the rocks of the slope - of course, her purpose was to find wild fruits to satisfy her hunger, and in the process of looking, she actually found a strange tree with a thigh thick and no more than three feet tall growing in the crack of the rocks several meters high.

This tree is somewhat similar to the iron tree, but there are only three branches and leaves, which grow upside down in three directions, and at the root of the three branches and leaves, there are more than ten fruits of different sizes hanging, the largest is a bit like a persimmon, but the thickness and color of the skin are like oranges, and the smallest is a bit like a green fig, it is obvious that the big ones have ripened, and the small ones have not yet grown.

Princess Martha was overjoyed, and carefully climbed around the mud swamp to the bottom of the strange tree, and picked up a stone to throw at the fruit.

It's a pity that she hasn't practiced martial arts, and she didn't hit it after more than a dozen hits, so she planned to take the risk of climbing up, but at this moment, there was mud and sand rolling down from the cracks in the mountain.

Perhaps an instinctive reaction to danger, she crawled under a cocked boulder and watched cautiously.

This look almost scared her to death.

A brown python with a thick arm crawled out of the crack with a snake letter, raised its ugly head and scanned down, and then raised its head and stared at the fruit on its head for a long time.

"Is this a pit viper, why is it so big?" Princess Massa was shocked and frightened, as far as she knew, the pit viper was not big, and it was only three or five catties in the sky, but this pit viper weighed seventy or eighty catties, could it be a mutated pit viper?

At this moment, the mutant pit viper tentatively stretched upward, and it seemed that the snake's head only needed to poke upwards to bite the fruit, but it cowered three feet away from the fruit, and a pair of strange eyes were still looking at the fruit, wanting to bite, but not daring to bite, as if it was very afraid of the fruit.

Princess Massa was puzzled, could this fruit be poisonous?

Out of curiosity, Princess Massa carefully looked at the strange tree, and found that the leaves of the strange tree were very different from the leaves of the iron tree, if the overall shape of the leaves, there was not much difference, but the leaf stalks of the strange tree were thicker, the leaf wings were more sharp and steely, the leaf stalks were round and flat on the inside, the front was sharp and the back was thick, and the leaves were arranged in two rows on both sides of the leaf stalks, which looked like two rows of sharp blades.

The whole leaf is triangular, about two and a half feet long, and the leaf stalk is as thick as a hand bowl where it is connected to the stem, and the three leaves are spread out and horn-shaped to protect the vermilion fruit in the middle, and it looks like a strange mouth with sharp teeth, and those fruits are like sarcomas in the strange mouth.

Princess Massa counted the twelve fruits, of which only three were vermilion, three were arranged in a zigzag pattern, and the other nine were cyan and circled around the three vermilion.

The mutant pit viper stared at Zhu Guo for a long time, and wanted to poke its head in and bite Zhu Guo several times, but it quickly retracted again, and after a while, it seemed to be a little impatient, and from time to time put the blood-red snake letter, and its nostrils were panting.

At this time, Princess Martha found that the three red vermilion fruits were touched, and suddenly, a rich aroma came to the nose, and after the mutant pit viper smelled the aroma, mucus actually flowed out of its mouth, and its expression was even more anxious, but it still did not poke its head in.

What's going on, is this strange tree still biting?

Princess Massa never believes that there is a man-eating tree in the world, she has only heard that there are many cordyceps in Australia, such as pitcher plants and bottle grass, these grasses have bottle-shaped leaves, the bottle mouth is bright as a flower, and can secrete scented nectar glands, attracting insects and other small animals, and the bottleneck has oblique bristles, insects will close as long as they climb into the bottle, and then the digestive juice at the bottom of the bottle will quickly digest the insects, but these cordyceps can only eat insects, and the most powerful can only eat frogs or geckos, if there are man-eating plants, that's just a fart.

However, if there is no man-eating tree in the world, why would the mutant pit viper be so afraid of that strange tree?

After all, the mutant pit viper couldn't resist Zhu Guo's temptation, arched his neck, and poked Zhu Guo fiercely.

Unexpectedly, the branches and leaves of the strange tree suddenly rolled inward, and in the blink of an eye, they were wrapped into a large iron pot, fortunately the mutant pit viper was a tentative attack, otherwise, the head would have been bitten off by the sharp blades.

Oh!

Princess Martha's mouth opened wide in shock, and at this time she finally understood why the mutant pit viper didn't dare to put her mouth down, and dared to love that this strange tree was really a "living thing"!

The mutant pit viper saw that the strange tree was suddenly wrapped into an iron pot, and was anxious, hissing and opening its mouth to bite, only to see that the sharp teeth bit on the iron pot and made a gurgling sound, but the iron pot was unharmed, and even the tree pole did not swing.

Hiss......

Click......

The mutant pit viper frantically gnawed at the iron pot, as if it had already coveted the Zhu Guo inside, and it was always happy that it couldn't eat, do you think it was not in a hurry?

Even Princess Marsa was moved, and the Zhu Guo that could make the mutant pit viper salivate was definitely a good thing!

The mutant pit viper gnawed for a long time and failed to succeed, so he had to climb down the stone wall in frustration, during which he was unwilling to look back at the iron pot.

Seeing it crawl down, Princess Martha was so nervous that she quickly tightened her body and held her breath.

Fortunately, the pit viper slowly swam past the boulder, as if preparing to hunt for food, and did not find Princess Martha under the boulder.

Princess Martha was overjoyed, and when it had gone completely, she crawled out from under the boulder, and because of her unbearable hunger, she was ready to pick the fruit to satisfy her hunger.

In fact, she didn't know why she was so hungry, and she didn't know that she didn't be in a coma all night, but two nights a day.

Therefore, hungry, she picked up a branch, risked falling into the mire and climbed to the bottom, first poked the hardness of the iron pot with the branch, and felt really hard, hard like a piece of iron, and the sound was like hard rubber, there is such a hard tree in the world, I really can't dream of it!

She thought, since she can't open the iron pot, can she start from the roots?

The answer is no, just kidding, this strange tree grows out of the crack in the stone, the stem is thicker than the legs, and it is hundreds of times harder than the iron tree, it is estimated that there are not a thousand years but eight hundred years, and the roots of the tree are probably deep into the belly of the mountain, just now the mutant pit viper bit it so much that it couldn't shake it, which shows how strong this thing is.

And what about burning with fire?

No matter how hard a plant is, it is a plant after all, wasn't the rattan armor soldiers of the Three Kingdoms invulnerable, and in the end they were burned by Zhuge Liang - it is a plant, it is afraid of fire!

Having made up her mind, Princess Martha found hard and dry branches to make drill boards, and learned to drill wood for fire like in the TV in the wilderness, and found a large number of dead branches and leaves, and then the sharp stones poked the drill board into a V-shaped groove, crushed the fallen leaves and put them in front of the V groove, and began to poke them with broken hard branches......

Of course, her purpose in making a fire was to burn the monster tree, and she still wanted to use it to drive away pit vipers, but it was not so easy to drill wood to make fire, and she was now weak, and the wood was not in the right way, and it took more than three hours, and her hands were worn out to ignite the fire, and people were so tired that they almost fainted.

In the meantime, she was also thinking about how to get out of this desert island, but unfortunately she couldn't do anything.

The fire was ignited, and Princess Martha breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was fire and snakes, she didn't dare to crawl over, in fact, she didn't find any snakes around the mire until now, and she couldn't think of the reason for a while, but she didn't pay attention to it, and she got Zhu Guo to satisfy her hunger.

After the fire was burning, she made a few big torches, and then climbed to the stone wall to burn the iron pot, still thinking in her heart, a snake is a snake, how can there be such wisdom, you see, this princess burns with fire, this iron pot is not opened.

However, after burning for a while, there was no reaction, but she was too hot to burn, and burned seven or eight torches in a row, and the iron pot not only did not loosen, but wrapped it tighter, and her heart suddenly cooled for half a section, but she still did not give up, and made many torches to continue to burn, but the iron pot and the tree pole were burned so black and hot, there was no sign of loosening, and after tossing for two hours, it was noon, and she had to throw away the torch in frustration, and sat on the boulder to think about countermeasures.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of Suosuo in the distance, turned around suddenly, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, daring, the mutant pit viper came back, and was hiding in the weeds dozens of meters away looking at herself, probably because she was afraid of fire, it didn't dare to approach Princess Marsa.

Princess Massa became more and more anxious, and she tried a thousand ways to do it, but none of them worked.

Think about it, you can't even burn the fire, what else can you think of, is this strange tree really not flawed at all?

Princess Massa was a little depressed, and wanted to give up the few red fruits, but if she gave up, where would she go to find food, as if there were no other wild fruits in this valley.

Why is this strange tree so weird, it's like practicing the golden bell cover iron cloth shirt, no matter what method you use, you can't hurt it, people practice the golden bell cover iron cloth shirt at least have a cover door, but this guy ...... Hey, doesn't this guy have a door?

Thinking of this, Princess Martha rekindled a glimmer of hope, and she went up again to take a closer look, from the pole to the treetops, inch by inch, and stroked with her fingers. Touch and bang......

The bark of this strange tree is quite similar to crocodile skin, not to mention the pimples, but also very scraped, as the saying goes, the snake has seven inches and a person has a throat, so does this strange tree also have a fatal place?

She focused on the connection between the body of the tree and the branches (leaves), and really found that there was a palm-sized place under it that was a little convex and smooth, and there was no response when she knocked it, and she used the branch to prick it, but there was still no response.

After thinking about it, she took off the pin in her hair clip to prick it, and after a few stabs, the iron pot was actually wrapped tightly again!

If there is a reaction, it means that you have found the right place.

Princess Massa was ecstatic, and pricked dozens of stitches in a row, but with each prick, the leaf was wrapped tightly and did not open.

Princess Marsa stared at the strange tree angrily, I don't know why, Jiang Xiaobai's appearance actually appeared in her mind, and she thought, if Jiang Xiaobai was replaced, how would he open this strange tree?
