Chapter 590: Follow the map
It was noon.
Under the illumination of a round of scorching sun, the red mist in the valley was surging, and the demonic aura was rising, just looking at it condescendingly, it made people's hearts suddenly have an ominous premonition.
Looking at the bright red mist like blood in the valley, Cai Youyou couldn't help frowning.
It's been less than ten days since they arrived on Peacock, and they've not even finished half the way to the central region. However, as her master had mentioned, the two most dangerous creatures on the entire Peacock Star, the big-headed monkey and the dangerous ten-meter-long python, were all encountered by them.
Finally, she looked at the valley filled with red demon mist and smiled helplessly.
I don't know if their luck is good or bad, they will actually encounter this dangerous python at this critical moment of looking for medicine for Liang Hu.
"Look at the red mist in the valley. I really didn't expect that the big python that Elder Qiao told us about was still alive on this planet after sixty years. Mo Xun also said helplessly.
Now he only hoped that the quinine tree, the special medicine against malaria, would better not grow in that valley filled with red demon mist. Preferably, they can find a life-saving quinine tree outside the valley.
Wang Fatzi stepped forward and cheered everyone on: "In my opinion, although the red mist still exists, there may not really be a big python in it. Think about it, now that fifty or sixty years have passed since the old president came to Peacock Star, how could a python have such a long lifespan! ”
"I hope it's what you say." Mo Xun sighed and said, "I don't think we should rush into the range of that red mist for the time being, just search for traces of the quinine tree in the area outside the valley, and if we really can't find it, it's not too late to venture into the valley." ”
Cai Youyou nodded and told everyone what the quinine tree looked like, which was also to make it easier for everyone to scatter and search.
"The quinic tree is an arbor, usually three to six meters tall, with grayish-brown bark with a lot of shallow cracks. The young branches of this tree are peculiar, with four edges and short brown pubescence growing on them. During this season, the quinic tree should have small light rosy or creamy white flowers, and you should pay more attention to this when looking for it. ”
After Cai Youyou finished speaking, Mo Xun spoke: "I think that in addition to paying attention to the tree itself, we can also pay attention to the fallen leaves on the ground. Cai Xiaona, you haven't told us yet, what do the leaves of that quinine tree look like? ”
Cai Youyou glanced at Mo Xun with an appreciative gaze and said, "The leaves of the quinine tree are oval-shaped, opposite, and the apical lines of the leaves are somewhat blunt, and they are slightly narrow at the base, and they are sparsely pubescent on both sides or sometimes underneath; The lateral veins have seven to eleven pairs, convex below; The petiole is about three to twenty mm long, and it may be slightly pubescent. ”
As she spoke, she took out a stack of things that had been prepared in advance and handed them out to everyone: "This is what I drew in advance last night, the general appearance of the quinine tree, and the appearance of the leaves and flowers of the quinine tree. You can refer to these drawings and follow the diagram. ”
