Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Incredible Rainforest
Tropical rainforest is a forest ecosystem on Earth that is commonly found in tropical areas near the equator, mainly in Southeast Asia, northern Australia, the Amazon River basin in South America, the Congo River basin in Africa, Central America and many Pacific islands.
Tropical rainforest is the biological community with the highest resistance stability on the earth, with a hot climate all year round, abundant rainfall, little obvious seasonal differences, and extremely fast biome succession, which is the habitat of more than half of the animal and plant species in the world.
Tropical rainforests are undoubtedly one of the most precious resources that the earth has given to humans. Since more than a quarter of modern medicines are now extracted from tropical rainforest plants, tropical rainforests are known as "the world's largest pharmacy". At the same time, because the photosynthesis of many rainforest plants has a particularly strong ability to purify the earth's air, among which the Amazon rainforest alone produces one-third of the world's total oxygen, so it has the reputation of "the lungs of the earth".
The main role of tropical rainforests is to regulate the climate, prevent soil erosion, purify the air, and ensure that the material circulation of the earth's biosphere is carried out in an orderly manner.
In addition to dozens of other countries, China has 7,150 square kilometers of tropical rainforests; The existing tropical monsoon forest covers an area of 17,050 square kilometers; It is estimated that the total area of the original tropical forest is 340,000 square kilometers. (One of the countries with the richest biological resources in the Asia-Pacific region, there are about 30,000 species of plants in the country, including about 15,000 species of forest plants, more than 1,300 species of birds, and more than 450 species of mammals. Yunnan Province has the highest biodiversity, with about 800 species of birds and more than half of the country's mammals. In addition, the area of tropical forests in China should not be so large, and this figure may include monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forests, and the existing number of tropical rainforests may be smaller than in reality, and in 1999 the Indian-controlled area in southeastern Tibet was one of the main distribution areas of tropical rainforests in China.
Shu Rui is going to the tropical rainforest this time, follow the person's own feelings, the more southeast, the stronger the feeling, this tropical rainforest before Shu Rui also knows a little, from the map, now in this world, only the tropical rainforest is still in a primitive state, the many species placed in it Shu Rui did not plan to explore, even if there are beasts there, even demon beasts, Shu Rui also passed, because she went to this time has a hunch, that is, she may have found the intersection of the two worlds, whether it is placed here She is not completely sure, but also has nine points of certainty!
Shu Rui did not hesitate, from the village to the southeast, only an hour's journey away, when she saw a lush greenery, the rainforest of subcanopy plants composed of small trees, vines and epiphytes such as orchids, bromeliads and ferns, some plants are epiphytic, wrapped around the parasitic trunk, other plants only use trees as supports. The surface of the rainforest is covered with branches and fallen leaves. The ground in the rainforest is not as impassable as legend has it, and most of the ground is bare, except for a thin layer of humus and fallen leaves.
The rainforest is home to a wide variety of animals, but is dominated by small, arboreal animals. Another characteristic is that there are many species and few individual species. Especially for insects in the rainforest, it is much easier to find a hundred insects than a hundred insects of the same species. Scientists believe that there are many rainforest insects that remain unrecognized.
Although the aura of the rainforest is not as good as that of Linshan, but compared to the outside world, the air here is the world that the monk lives in, Shu Rui walked forward step by step, she felt the familiar smell, the familiar made her want to cry, even if she has lived in this world for sixteen years, even if there is a family here who loves her, even if she has found a sense of belonging, but this is not the world she is familiar with after all, there is its own order, this is not like the Metaverse, where strength is respected, the weak eat the strong, and it is gradually smoothing her will and fighting spirit, because there is no need to fight here, even if the battle is only a small partFor a militant, it was not intended to be equivalent to suicide, and when she was about to become familiar with it, she felt a different throbbing, and she found that she had never forgotten that world, although it was not beautiful, but it was the root of her heart!
Shu Rui looked for the familiar aura and walked forward slowly, when she walked to the center of the rainforest, she felt that the aura here is the strongest, and the spiritual power here is also the strongest......
Shu Rui's left hand gathered spiritual power, slowly fitting on the center, she was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a thin layer of enchantment, if not careful, even she could not find it, but this spiritual power could not open this enchantment, and this enchantment is like a whirlpool, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be sucked in, she remembers that she once read in the report, once there was an adventure team to the rainforest, the members of the adventure team once saw a person being sucked in, when they were scared stupid, crazy ran out of the rainforest, when the interview, everyone in the adventure team was crazy, but what they said was the same, that is, someone was sucked into the rainforest, at that time, there was no repercussions, only when those people were frightened!
But now that I think about it, it is very likely that the person who disappeared was sucked into this enchantment, what kind of world is in this enchantment? Could it be the Metaverse?
Although Shu Rui had the answer in her heart, she couldn't believe it, and suddenly remembered the voice she heard when she was in Longmen, that person knew that he was Mu Lan, and he was calling her, could that be a kind of foreshadowing?
Shu Rui thought for a moment and finally decided to go in to find out, after all, this is what she dreamed of, since she can go in, then she will definitely be able to come out, although she really wants to return to her real world, but there is already her first half here, grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts, and brothers and sisters!
Shu Rui laid another ecstasy formation here, and also arranged an enchantment on the periphery of the ecstasy formation, this enchantment is to prevent someone from suddenly appearing and disrupting her arrangement, as long as there is this spiritual lamp, as long as this spiritual lamp has been continuously transmitting spiritual power to which world, she will definitely be able to find it back, and the spiritual power in this spiritual lamp is enough for her to do things!
Shu Rui punched spiritual power with both hands, and entered another world along the whirlpool, and directly Shu Rui disappeared in place in an instant, just as reported at the time, but now there is no one here, and there is an enchantment here, even if there are people, they can't see it, and they can't see the center of this rainforest!
Breathing the air of this world again, Shu Rui has an indescribable emotion in her heart, this world has bred her for thousands of years, she cultivated here, fought, founded the Dragon Gate, and finally died because of the catastrophe, this world is so familiar in her eyes, but now it is so strange, I don't know this world in the past few years!
Shu Rui glanced at the white snow-capped mountain, if she guessed correctly, this should be the most famous snow-capped mountain in the Metaverse. The main peaks and secondary peaks of the Snow Mountain are distributed in the middle of the Snow Mountain Range, about the south of the Qinling Mountains and the sect boundary of the Xiaoyao Sect, and located in the north of the Demon Beast Valley. With the main peak of the Snow Mountain as the center, the surrounding mountains with similar geological characteristics and lithology are called Snow Mountain Barriers.
The bedrock of the snow-capped mountain rampart is the quadrangular sandstone of the late Eocene or early Oligocene, which is a kind of quartz metamorphic sandstone with very high hardness and resistance to weathering and erosion, so it creates the towering topography of the snow-capped mountain rampart.
The most famous here is not the Valley of the Demon Beasts and the Easy Sect, but the magical legend on the Snow Mountain, it is said that there is a divine beast Blood Qilin on the Snow Mountain to guard, and this Snow Mountain is not called the Snow Mountain but the Blood Mountain, but the world does not know it! The reason why she knew so clearly was because she had chased a thunderbolt leopard into the Blood Mountain, and after three days and three nights, she failed to subdue it, but fell into the Blood Shadow Array of this Blood Mountain, and she had the honor to see the Blood Qilin, if it weren't for the fact that she didn't do anything unforgivable to the Blood Mountain, she would probably have fallen in this Blood Mountain!
I didn't expect that the location of this landing turned out to be this blood mountain, I really don't know if this is fortunate or unlucky!
Shu Rui smiled bitterly, back then, her cultivation in the Tribulation Period was not the opponent of the Blood Qilin, and now she is only in the Yuan Infant Stage, so she is naturally not the opponent of the Blood Qilin, and she is damn in the center of the Blood Mountain, what is this not looking for death?
Shu Rui can only step on the flying sword now and quickly leave this blood mountain, she can't afford to mess with it now, it's still important to do the right thing! When Shu Rui arrived at the foot of the mountain, she found that it was exactly noon, and she couldn't see the time on the mountain, but it was clear at the foot of the mountain!
The town under the mountain is as prosperous as ever, pedestrians come and go in a hurry, monks walk everywhere, this is the world of monks, fortunately she changed into a white dress when she went down the mountain, otherwise she would really be regarded as an alien in modern fancy clothes! Shu Rui casually pulled a passer-by, gave a lower grade spirit stone, and learned about what has happened in the Metaverse in the past few years!
I didn't expect that I would become a legendary existence, I only spent sixteen years on the earth, and I have spent three hundred years here, and Longmen Patriarch Mu Lan has also become the existence that the entire Metaverse looks up to, although Fairy Mu Lan did not succeed in the tribulation, but in this Yuan Infant Stage, which is already scarce, it is already a top existence, so many admiring people will go to Longmen and worship under Longmen Gate, in anticipation of becoming the next Fairy Mulan!
Now the status of Longmen in the Metaverse can be regarded as the head of the seven major sects, and the current master of Longmen is Wu Qingping, the eldest disciple of Fairy Mulan, as the heir closest to Fairy Mulan, Wu Qingping is now in the early stage of Yuanying, and it can also be said that he is the first person in this Metaverse!
Hearing that the Longmen he founded was carried forward by Wu Qingping, Shu Rui finally nodded with satisfaction in her heart, the reason why she accepted Wu Qingping in the first place was because she took a fancy to his talent, and there was no other force behind him, so he could do things for Longmen wholeheartedly, and now it seems that he has chosen the right person!
