Tanzi and I drew our pistols and pointed them straight ahead and warned each other, but the shadow in front of us turned a deaf ear to my warning.

"If we don't come out again, we're going to shoot?" I warned them again, but there was still no response.

"Tianyu, you take a flashlight and follow me; Altar, you and Wei Peng stay to protect Xiao Ai and them! I casually assigned the next task.

"Don't worry! Give me a few of them, and you'll be foolproof! The altar patted his chest and slapped the bag ticket and said, "But you should be careful!" ”

"Hey......" Xu Yunshu suddenly stopped us.

Hua Tianyu and I looked back, thinking that something was wrong with her. I only heard her say, "You...... Be careful! ”

Hua Tianyu smiled and said "um" in response, while I turned my head directly and walked forward, ignoring this stubble at all. Anyway, she didn't say it to me, there is no need for the old peacock to open the screen - she is amorous.

After taking two steps, I suddenly stopped and removed the backpack from my back. This backpack is a big weight, and it is a burden to carry, once something is inconvenient to move. I unzipped my backpack and pulled out the machete inside and stuck it around my waist.

"Tanzi, give Xiao Hua'er your knife for self-defense!" Just in case, I decided to let Hua Tianyu bring a weapon.

"No, we all carry knives with us when we go out on our expeditions!" Hua Tianyu raised the machete in his hand.

Everything was ready, and we set off towards the shadows.

Although Hua Tianyu and I were running towards the dark shadow, we didn't know if there were still creatures around that could be "invisible" like giant insects, so we were always careful to guard our surroundings, and we were cautious with every step.

The closer I got to those shadows, the more I had an intuitive understanding of them. These dark shadows should not be human, as their height has exceeded the height of a person. If not people, then what would it be?

It wasn't until I got closer to 50 meters that I could get a rough idea of what they really were, which were two rows of huge plants. It's not so much a plant, it's a flower, a giant flower!

I let out a long breath, let go of my guard, and called the five of them over to the altar.

When everyone saw these flowers, they immediately came to the topic, and they all wondered how such a large plant could appear here.

These flowers are spread about 200 meters along the road ahead. This flower has only two leaves, which grow upwards from close to the roots, symmetrical from left to right, and the leaves are broad and thick, each of which is more than a person tall. The flowers are red in color and have four petals, each nearly half a meter long. This flower is so big, it will be beautiful if it blooms. It's a pity that all we see at this time have withered, but even if they wither, they still maintain their last posture - some flowers have opened, but the leaves are tightly closed, like a giant cabbage; Some flowers are still budding, and the leaves are open left and right, but no matter what it looks like, they are wilting and drooping, and they look lifeless, yellowed and dead, and they have become a real "yellow flower of tomorrow".

"This place is really amazing, not only the cave is big, but the flowers are also big! Hey, you say, does it have something to do with this water? The altar looked at the giant flower and sighed.

"Yes, yes, you can grow up after drinking this water, you can drink it quickly!" I smiled and said, "Maybe you can have a second development, if you can surpass Yao Ming, maybe the NBA will pay attention to you!" The future of Chinese basketball depends on you, Sao Nian! ”

"Roll on, the dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" The jar didn't have to be angry to say.

"Yo, what I'm saying is auspicious, right? Why, don't like to listen? Shall I change the sentence then? ”

"Why do you think these flowers are dying, there is plenty of water here, it shouldn't be thirsty, right?" Xu Yunshu asked.

The jar said, "It must be because you can't see the sun!" You think, this plant grows so big, and can grow leaves and flowers, it must be photosynthesized. But there is no light here, how does it work, so the nutrition can't keep up and it dies, it's easy to understand! ”

I asked Tanzi, "Hey, Tanzi, did you say that sunlight has come in this cave before?" Or has it always been like this? ”

"Big brother, where is this sunshine coming from underground?" The altar has a look of "you are so ignorant" with disdain.

Then, I dragged the jar to the flowers and said to him, "Come, Expert Zhou, then you can explain to me why these flowers can grow so big without photosynthesis?" Since flowers can grow so big when they touch the dark, they didn't need photosynthesis before, why do they suddenly need it now? It doesn't make sense! Forgive me for being dull and ignorant, and I don't know the reason, and I ask Expert Zhou to explain our doubts and doubts! Please! I stretched out my hand to the jar and said, "Welcome, everyone!" "Applause now.

"Uh...... This ......"

Looking at Tanzi's embarrassed look, Xu Yunshu and Xiao Ai giggled beside them.

"What are you laughing at, what's so funny?" The altar pretended to reprimand them, saying, "Who are you to laugh at me, or you will explain the problem?" "He's so cunning that he just kicks the problem to someone else.

Xu Yunshu stood up resolutely: "I remember that plants need to consume a lot of energy and nutrients to bloom and bear fruit, could it be that because of their flowering, they lack nutrients and die?" There have been many records of bamboo flowering in our country. As soon as the bamboo blooms, it dies quickly. I remember writing in the book that the large-scale flowering of bamboo in Sichuan in the past eight years caused many giant pandas, a national treasure, to die due to lack of food. At that time, the whole country enthusiastically donated money in order to find new bamboo for the giant pandas. Do you think that this kind of flower is also like bamboo, which dies when it blooms? ”

"Yes, that makes sense...... Actually, I thought the same thing, but I didn't organize the language for a while......" Tanzi laughed cheekily.

I ignored the altar, but asked Xu Yunshu: "Since you said that the plant in front of us died because of flowering, how can we explain that there are still those that have not bloomed?" ”

Xu Yunshu looked around a budding flower, shook his head and said, "I can't figure this out, after all, I don't study botany." But let me guess, it's the same reason, it's full of rocks. These flowers and plants can only draw very limited nutrients from the crevices of the rocks, and where there are many nutrients, the flowers can naturally bloom; Those with few nutrients may only be able to hold on until the buds have just grown. I think even so, for these plants, it is already precious. In order to blossom and bear fruit, in order to reproduce, they are willing to sacrifice their own lives, and this is the case for plants, and even more so for animals...... There are many mothers who would rather risk their lives than ...... in order to give birth to their own children The flowers here can still bloom in such a harsh environment and still bloom such a bright color, which is already the limit. It's a pity that even if they did it to the limit, they didn't make it to the day of the result......"
