Chapter 81: Giant Aloe Vera

Everything in front of me was too shocking.

I thought there was only a world of giant insects, but now in the ruins of the city, there is a huge aloe vera.

There were ruins blocking the view before, so Tianlan didn't notice it.

Tianlan, who now climbed to the top of the ruins, finally saw the shocking scene in front of him.

But now, compared to the tall aloe vera, what shocked Chu Mosheng even more was that the serious Tianlan was actually joking at this time.

This shocked Chu Mosheng even more than seeing the huge aloe vera.

And Tianlan didn't think it was anything, but asked, "What's wrong, do I have anything on my face?" ”

Chu Mosheng subconsciously shook his head, and then said, "I feel that you are a little different from before." ”

"Is there one? Delusion. ”

Maybe it's a little different, after stopping Chu Mosheng's words before, Tianlan also felt a little afraid.

If you let your parents see what you are now, they will be angry.

Maybe he'll smoke himself with that feather duster.

In order not to make them angry, Tianlan also began to make some changes, but the changes were a little subtle now.

But because it was too sudden, Chu Mosheng was still startled, thinking that Tianlan had eaten something bad.

However, no matter how Tianlan changes, there will be no change in her inner feelings.

Because Tianlan is Tianlan, she will not distance herself because of this change, but she likes this Tianlan even more.

This kind of Tianlan is a little more emotional than ideal.

But what exactly is this sensibility, it is not known.

Tianlan's subtle changes still made Chu Mosheng a little uncomfortable, although it was very subtle, Chu Mosheng could still feel it clearly.

But Tianlan didn't care, for him, as long as he wanted to make a change, it would change at any time, which was not a difficult thing.

It's nothing more than what he himself is willing to do.

If Tianlan hates this change very much, then no matter how hard he tries, Tianlan will not change in that direction.

However, sometimes Tianlan prefers to be rational rather than emotional, because in this way, when encountering difficulties, she can calmly make judgments.

But it's this calmness that makes it easy for him to overlook a lot of things.

For example, human feelings, as well as the feelings of others.

And now Tianlan, who began to care about Chu Mosheng's feelings and his parents' thoughts, gradually recovered some of her human sensibility.

But after all, there are only a few, and how much it can change Tianlan depends on Tianlan's own.

But now Tian Lan cares more about what is in front of her than about change.

If you're not mistaken, that huge plant should be aloe vera, and of course it could be agave, after all, there is almost no difference between the two from a distance.

And the point is not what the plant is, but this plant, which is inevitably too big.

I hadn't found it before, but now after climbing to the top of the ruins, I saw that this plant was already more than ten meters high.

This is not nothing, but when they wanted to look for aloe vera, such a large aloe vera appeared in front of them, which made people not suspicious.

"What do you think?" Tianlan asked Chu Mosheng.

And Chu Mosheng was still entangled in his heart at the moment, constantly thinking about Tianlan's changes, and he didn't hear Tianlan's inquiry at all.

Tianlan looked at Chu Mosheng, and only felt that she was afraid that she was hopeless.

How do you always focus on things that don't matter?

"Huh?" Only then did Chu Mosheng notice Tianlan's remnant gaze, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing, just wanted to hear what you think of this plant."

That aloe vera wasn't that close to them, it should be about three or four thousand meters away.

The ruins of buildings more than ten meters high are also everywhere, but this aloe vera, in this ruins, is particularly abrupt, and it is difficult not to pay attention.

"Hmm......" Chu Mosheng looked at the aloe vera, his brain kept running: "In short, it's very suspicious, the aloe vera plant, it is impossible to grow so big, even if it can, it is impossible to grow so big so quickly." Of course, it is also possible that it has been mutated. ”

After all, now that the insects all over the world have mutated, it is not impossible for plants to mutate with them.

But even so, Chu Mosheng still has to say another possibility here.

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that it is a bug disguise."

After all, there are some bugs that are very good at camouflage, like a flower mantis, which is obviously a praying mantis, but can disguise itself as a bright flower.

Not only that, but the flower mantis can also simulate the fragrance of flowers, and from the appearance and smell, it is impossible to tell that it is a praying mantis.

And the appearance of an insect disguised as aloe vera at the scene is not an impossible thing.

It's just that if that's really the case, then this bug is too stupid.

With such a huge body, and disguised as aloe vera, ten people can see it.

Bugs are not stupid, and when they find that they can't catch their prey by disguising themselves as one thing, or can't hide from predators, they start to find ways to disguise themselves as something else.

If you look at it this way, maybe that aloe vera is a real guy.

Of course, this is just Chu Mosheng's speculation, as for whether it is real aloe vera, no one can say for sure until it is confirmed.

After all, some bugs are really geniuses when it comes to disguise.

After listening to Chu Mosheng's words, Tianlan also thought for a moment, and then asked, "Does aloe vera have worms?" ”

"Of course it will, no matter what kind of plant it is, even if it is highly poisonous, it will give birth to insects."

Some insects are not afraid of the toxicity of plants, but will actively ingest the toxicity of plants to prevent natural enemies.

Even poisonous mushrooms can be eaten by insects.

"But...... Generally, the insects born on aloe vera are all insects like aphids, and for predators, it is not enough to even plug between their teeth, so there is no need to hunt at all. ”

Instead of preying on these unfilling aphids, it is better to go straight to the large insects, which is faster and more efficient.

"So, is there such a possibility?" After listening to Chu Mosheng's words, Tianlan also said her guess.

"Do you think it's possible that it's a bug that has reached a symbiotic condition with aloe vera."

This bug needs the nutrients of aloe vera, and aloe vera also needs this bug, and then the two merge together and become so huge.

It is not impossible that in nature, some organisms, after reaching certain conditions, will merge into one and reach the conditions of symbiosis, even without distinguishing from each other.

"It's not impossible, but it's very slim. The insects I know are parasitic and constantly feed on the nutrients of aloe vera until they wilt. Of course, it can't be ruled out that I don't know about insects. ”

After all, the number of insects in this world is so huge that humans have not yet discovered all the species of insects.

Now it's not unusual for a new species to pop up all of a sudden.

"Then let's go over and have a look."

"Huh?!" When Chu Mosheng heard Tianlan's words, he was shocked: "You actually took the initiative to approach, I thought you would ignore it directly." ”

Like that kind of thing that doesn't know the truth, if it was Tianlan before, it would definitely go around, even if the other party was not in danger, he would not take the initiative to provoke it.

"Well, I'm a little curious, and besides, don't you want to see a new breed of bugs too?"

The reason why Tianlan decided to go over was because he felt that there should be no danger.

Now it seems that it is more likely that some kind of bug has reached a symbiotic condition with aloe vera.

It needs aloe vera for nutrients, and aloe vera needs it to ward off pests, so the two become huge together, which is not impossible, but more likely.

After all, those hunters who can disguise themselves will generally not disguise themselves as aloe vera, but will disguise themselves as more attractive beings, otherwise, they will not be able to hunt a single prey at all.

And insects that rely on camouflage to avoid predators are even more impossible.

If they want to hide from predators, they will definitely disguise themselves as inconspicuous beings, how can they disguise themselves as such an eye-catching aloe vera?

So now it seems that symbiosis is more likely.

Tianlan also wants to see what kind of form the existence of symbiosis exists in this world.

Chu Mosheng couldn't refuse Tianlan's proposal at all.

As Tianlan said, she also wants to witness more unknown species, and she also wants to know what kind of existence the other party really is.

Of course, in addition to these, Chu Mosheng still has to go, if the other party is really aloe vera, then the current Tianlan needs aloe vera to relieve pain, no matter what.

In this way, with Chu Mosheng's support, Tianlan spent more than an hour and finally came to the aloe vera thousands of kilometers away.

They also encountered a lot of ants on the way, but before the other party could find out, they hid in advance, so it didn't take long to get here.

But on the way here, there were too many ants, more than on any other day.

Although the size has not changed much, the ferocity, attack power, and corrosiveness of formic acid have all been raised by a notch.

Fortunately, these are just ordinary ants, if there is another bullet ant, Tianlan will have to consider whether to change places.

Fortunately, they came here safe and sound, and they didn't encounter any great danger.

After coming here, Tianlan could now clearly tell that this was a real aloe vera, not a disguise from other insects.

Well, now the possibility of symbiosis has been realized.

Since it is a symbiotic relationship, this aloe vera must have its dangers, and there can be no carelessness.

However, until they got completely close to the aloe vera, and even touched it, nothing happened.

Not even the means of defense of the symbiote are seen.
