Camellia oleifera leads the way, and the distance is not what it calls "a little far", but quite far.

The trot took up to 9 days.

A common subtropical northerly hilly landform. The plants that grow are mainly walnut trees of various colors, among which hickory, cotton walnut and iron walnut trees are the majority, which are mixed with oak, pine, cypress, maple and other trees.

Countless hills, dense jungles, the rough ore vein is located in one of the ordinary hills.

Banbu couldn't understand how Camellia oleifera had found such an inconspicuous place in two years, spanning a distance of more than 3,000 kilometers.

"Banbu, there used to be a warrior population in this neighborhood, but then it was deserted." Oil tea waved his tail lightly, pointed to the hole in front of him, and said:

"I thought it was a cave, but when I went in to take a look, I accidentally found that it was a mine...... I searched the neighborhood and all the dwelling caves and mines had collapsed. ”

"Well, it may be that it is too old, and it was abandoned and forgotten before the continental force was exhausted."

The mine road has collapsed, but it has not collapsed completely, and Camellia oleifera has dug it once according to its own body and entered the depths of the mine.

Without any orders, Xiao Baizhu took the lead in drilling into the mine.

If you can't get into it, check the surrounding soil.

"Well, it's mostly red shale and gray sandstone, which is a bit prone to collapse." Zebu's circle around the mountain made his judgment again.

"Zebra, there are a lot of walnut trees nearby." Camellia oleifera reminder.

"I know." Madara said, "But the tree species can't look at it. ”

There are many subtropical cypresses, eucalyptus trees, and green oka trees in the northern hemisphere.

In the subtropical region of the southern hemisphere, walnuts, cherry blossoms, and ash trees are the most numerous, all of which are undomesticated native species. It has strong survival ability in the wild, but it is not good in terms of the number of hanging fruits, fruit size, flesh sweetness and so on.

Ordinary tree species have long been out of the eyes of the spotted cloth.

Oil Tea said: "Banbu, I also found a chestnut forest, which grows very tall. ”

Camellia oleifera does not like to learn knowledge, and its understanding of plants is not good at all, and when it is practical, it can only be described with some vague words.

Banbu casually asked, "How tall?" ”

Oil tea thought about it seriously and said, "100 meters, let's ......"

"What? Got me right? So exaggerated? Banbu asked one after another, "Far from it?" ”

Oil Tea said: "It's not very far. ”

"......" Banbu waved his tentacles, pointed to the entrance of the mine tunnel, and said, "You go in and ask Xiao Baizhu how the situation is." ”

"You can let it look for it." Camellia muttered, drilled into the mine, and after a while, came out with a small white bamboo.

Zebubu asked, "How?" ”

Xiao Baizhu replied: "Only a small number of inferior ores have been found. The veins are supposed to have been abandoned before the continent was exhausted, and the inferior rough ore was formed later. ”

Ban said: "Then it cannot be ruled out that later geological movements, this vein may have the formation of new high-quality rough ore." ”

Xiao Baizhu said: "There is nothing near here, I'll look elsewhere." ”

Oil Tea immediately said: "Look carefully." ”

Madara nodded his tentacles in agreement.

The concentration of the Force on both sides of the canyon is too low, a wedge cherry god-given seed, 10 life seeds, all need the original stone to supplement the Force in order to grow well, and transporting it from the Wanguo Continent to this side not only consumes money, but also consumes power. It's also nice to be able to dig up some leftovers from this abandoned vein.

"Little Baizhu, you look for it slowly."

"Camellia oleifera, where is the chestnut grove you are talking about? Lead the way, let's go over and have a look. ”

……

Camellia oleifera's concepts of "distance" and "length" are extremely inaccurate. It says "a little far", which is "far, far away" in the concept of distance in zebra. When it says "not very far", it must mean "very far".

I walked for three days and two nights before I arrived at the place.

It is still a common mountainous landform, but the difference is that the general height of the chestnut forest in front of it is indeed much higher than that of the common chestnut trees.

However, it is not as exaggerated as Camellia oleifera said.

100 meters tall tree? In the subtropics, only a few special trees can grow to a height of 100 meters, and the chestnut tree is not among them. It is absolutely impossible for chestnut trees to grow to this height, no matter how good the growth environment is, no matter how long the growth time is, it will not help, and it belongs to the genetic limitation of the tree species.

"Zebra, there's a very tall one over there." Camellia oleifera wags its tail and guides the way.

"Don't look at it, it's supposed to be an old chestnut tree that has grown for more than 100 years, and you got the height a little wrong. Camellia oleifera, this time when you go back, you need to re-understand the length unit, you can't be so ignorant and confused, it's worse than the white bamboo bear. With a brief lesson, Zembon began to search the ground.

At this time in winter, the chestnut tree fruit naturally ripens and lands shortly after it has not yet germinated.

The exterior is a shell covered with dense spikes, and when peeled off, the inside is a smooth chestnut. Commonly found wild or cultivated chestnuts have brownish-red shells, and a few are brownish-black.

This chestnut forest looks unusual, and the fruit is unusual, producing chestnuts with shiny black shells with a bit of metallic texture, and they are one size larger than regular chestnuts.

The spotted cloth twists one, closes the tips of the toes, and slowly cuts through the shell.

The shell is hard and thick.

Camellia noticed that Banbu's mood was not quite right, and asked, "Banbu, what kind of chestnut tree is this?" ”

"Kui Li, the top plant species of the chestnut tree, it seems that no race in the Continent of Nations has mastered this tree species. Our Jinping Mountains can open up the sea of chestnut trees in a big way. Zebrabu replied solemnly, and said:

"It was once supposed to be cultivated by some insect tribe. This is the native species, Camellia oleifera, you carefully identify it, look for it, maybe there are high-quality derivatives that continue to this day. ”

"Looking for traces of warrior settlements, I will bring both white bamboo and small white bamboo over, and if you are lucky, you may be able to find the remains of the 'divine product' buried underground."

"Then I'......" Camellia asked, "what about the abandoned ore veins?" Still digging or not? ”

"A top-grade tree species can hold up a tribe, can hold up ten ore veins, what are you digging it for?" Banbu calmed down a little and instructed in detail: "Camellia oleifera, you focus on looking for chestnut derivative tree species, find a warrior settlement along the way, mark the general range, underground exploration and excavation, bamboo rat warriors are the best." ”

"Understood." Camellia oleifera acted quickly.

The zebra flew directly into the air and flew low altitude.

After turning over the two hills, my eyes were immediately attracted by an unusually tall ancient tree.

This should be the tall ancient tree that Camellia oleifera is talking about.

When I got closer, my wings shook, my body was unbalanced, and I almost fell into the forest.

The concept of the length of Camellia oleifera is terrible, and the height of this ancient chestnut tree is not only 100 meters, but also about 150 meters. The trunk is senile, the branches are mostly dry and there are traces of insect moth, and the branches and leaves are sparse. There should be a long truncated branch broken at the top of the canopy, otherwise the height of the tree is more than 150 meters.

How tall exactly? It's hard to estimate.

A thousand-year-old chestnut tree that is old and has a short life.

If you look closely, it's a bit like a burly, and you can't tell whether it's a native species or a derivative species.

Looking at the other chestnut trees in the vicinity, they were able to identify them as a high-quality variant, but the height of the tree was in the normal range of 10 to 40 meters. The tallest one is only about 40 meters old, and when it grows to this height, the body of the tree begins to show signs of aging.

The one in front of me is more than 150 meters! How?

Super premium derivatives? Exaggeration!

Unfortunately, there were no chestnuts on the ground or on the trees, and the old tree was too old to bear fruit.

Banbu is a little sure that this old tree has broken through the category of "high-quality derivative species" and should be the accidental result of "genetic mutation".

"There are no descendants of the same tree species left around, but unfortunately, it is probably because this mutant species cannot adapt to the natural environment and cannot survive without the care of the warriors."

"Maybe we can save it! Take good care, bloom once, harvest a batch of seeds and get rich! ”

Banbu thought about it, the breath of the county lord-level Force creature was released, and he emitted anger and intimidation, planning to get rid of all kinds of pests attached to the tree first, and at the same time, he pondered in his heart: Let Bai Zhu come and take care of it? The soil is solid, there is an urgent need to loosen the soil, weeds are rampant, it must be eradicated, and the soil fertility is not good, so a biogas digester needs to be built for irrigation and fertilization......

Suddenly, a weak and vague thought came from the ground: "You are a warrior of the Black Cockroach tribe?" How many years? You're finally back. ”
