Chapter 4 Best Placement Locations
"It's ugly!"
Not only the two women, Nebula and Annette, but even the rough men of Logan and Star-Lord also looked disgusted.
The purple-black stem, with purple-red petals at the top, spreads out, and the middle stamen resembles a large open mouth, and a purple-black liquid can be faintly seen.
The flying vines and the purple-black liquid that erupted from this 'big mouth' were all ejected from this 'big mouth', and there were also things on the stems that couldn't tell whether they were tentacles or branches and leaves......
Anyway, this thing looks very ugly, and there is such a thing on this planet.
"Is this a plant or an animal?" everyone turned to look at Logan, maybe the druid could give an accurate answer?
But Logan isn't quite sure now, this thing has a plant-like appearance, but behaves more like an animal: "Maybe it's a similar race to Groot?"
"I think Groot is still very cute......"
Comparing this thing to Groot always feels like an insult to the cute tree man.
Almost everyone thought this way, and even Annette didn't want to see the anymore, so she just took out a few Molotov cocktails and threw them out.
Logan also took out the automatic rifle in the storage space, which was an M-series automatic rifle with a grenade launcher attached to it, and loaded it with incendiary grenades before launching a fire attack at the ugly purple flowers.
Ethan didn't keep his hands either, he didn't like this thing eitherโeven if it was ugly, he ran out and was scary, and he was sorry for himself if he didn't die.
He didn't need to do anything at all, he only needed to mobilize his own magic power, and one fireball after another condensed around him, and these fireballs were in groups of five, continuously attacking these purple flowers.
The sound of the explosion continued to sound, and the shock wave and air flow generated by the explosion blew away the fog that had gathered again, and at the same time, the fire generated by the explosion seemed to be able to affect the purple fog, and a few sparks splashed into the distance, and actually 'eliminated' part of the purple fog.
"These purple mist can be dispelled by flames. โ
This is good news, I didn't know what kind of chemical reaction the flame would have with this fog, so I didn't dare to use it easily, Ethan's fireball spell was also cast after dispelling the fog, and he only used space spells until then.
Because of the fear that this fog is flammable and explosive, and this forest is full of this thick fog, the devil knows if he will light a cigarette and blow everyone to ashes.
Now this battle has surprised everyone to discover that the flames can actually dispel the fog, which is barely a good discovery.
This seems to mean that even if you don't have a hazmat suit, you can move freely in the misty jungle with a torch.
"How do you feel like playing online games......
After burning all the large purple flowers to ashes, Annette walked over to collect some samples of the purple flowers, and then added an incendiary bomb after collecting them.
Don't think that Annette is a scientist, a researcher is a weak chicken with no combat power, this is a fierce existence that almost killed the protagonist Leon with one shot.
What's more, after living in Ethan's team for so many years, she also has mastered the combat skills that should be mastered, and not focusing on the practice of combat skills does not mean that she lacks basic combat ability.
This is also an implicit requirement of Ethan to all his crew: at least you must have basic self-protection ability to do what you want to do.
Although he didn't say this in the open, but the people on his ship were smart people, and everyone understood it, so even Evelyn would keep exercising to make sure that she wouldn't be a dragger.
"The existence of this kind of thing seems to prove another thing. โ
"What?"
While Annette was collecting the sample, Logan mentioned something else.
"Since this flower hunts in groups, it also means that there is prey on this planet that can be captured by them!"
Star-Lord had put away all his weapons, but when he heard this, he pulled them out again.
"So, it's very likely that there are creatures on this planet. โ
After all, if there is no prey, what can these things catch? It doesn't look like they can't reproduce without food, and if they just look for some plants for food, it doesn't seem necessary to evolve into such a strong aggressive appearance.
So there must be creatures on this planet that can be killed by this plant - and possibly some other plants that can move?
The rest of the journey seemed peaceful, and there was no more danger, no more encounters with the big purple flowers.
After a long turn, Annette collected samples of all the plants she saw, and the team began to turn around and walk back the way they came.
With the help of auxiliary radar and maps, there was no embarrassing situation where you couldn't find the camp after taking the wrong road.
Ethan spent the next few days exploring the forest with Star-Lord, except for Annette at first, and then she stayed in the camp to carry out various analyses and experiments - enough samples had been collected, and after the first few surveys, it was difficult to find new samples that had not been collected.
Annette's work is heavy because there are many unknown components in the samples collected, and she needs to conduct various comparisons and tests to determine what these substances are and most importantly, whether they are harmful to the human body.
For now, Annette still has a lot of work to do, and at present, she has only analyzed that one of the plants is edible, absolutely harmless to the human body, and even contains rich nutrients, but this thing is not very delicious, anyway, everyone vomited on the day of cooking and tasting.
As the area of exploration grows, Ethan learns more about the planet, and he and Star-Lord encounter more creatures.
It's not just the big purple flowers, but all sorts of other weird plants, most of which are aggressive - some even disguised as normal plants, but suddenly sneak up the moment you get closer, and you can barely notice that it's 'alive' until then.
It can be said that this jungle is full of dangers, and at the same time, after half a month of coming to this planet, they finally met the first creature that was suspected of being an animal.
It was a huge creature that was three meters tall, and Ethan's first reaction when he saw it was: Could this thing be a dinosaur?
After careful observation, I found that the difference is still very large, but this herbivore creature is indeed a bit like a triceratops, and its stocky body has a very strong defense, like the corrosive liquid sprayed by the purple flower, after spraying on this guy's body, it only leaves an inconspicuous mark, and it can't cause damage at all.
After spotting the giant animal, Logan tried to communicate with it, and found that the creature was very docile and very friendly - willing to help Ethan carry all sorts of belongings, and sent them all the way back to the camp before turning around.
Unfortunately, the thing didn't want to stay in the camp, and the explanation Logan gave was 'it's going home'.
"So most of the creatures in this forest have a fixed area of activity. โ
It's unclear what else is in this forest, but it's clear that this primeval jungle is very dangerous, and if you don't have enough strength to enter it, you may not even be able to save the corpse.
"So such a world is really suitable for settlement?" Star-Lord spread his hands, he wanted to ask Ethan if he wanted to continue the survey, and after a month of surveying and living on the planet himself, they had come to a rough conclusion.
In general, the environment of this planet is suitable for human survival, but the trouble is obvious: the entire planet is jungle except for the ocean, and there are very few coastal plains.
If the people of the training ground were to move over, the first thing they would have to do was how to get a living space in this dangerous jungle - the plains by the sea were safe, but the space was limited, and there were no resources in this area.
"If you think about the earth in ancient times, it was not much safer than this. โ
What's more, Ethan didn't think that the people in the training ground needed to go directly into this dangerous forest to compete with those local creatures for survival resources.
"Actually, there is a more suitable place to arrange that training ground. โ
Star-Lord followed Ethan's gaze into the distance, and the purple sea appeared in front of him.
Thinking of the overall size of the training ground, as well as the size of the planet, and calculating the size of the ocean a little, Star-Lord understood Ethan's thoughts.
"You want to place the entire training ground on this purple sea?"
"yes, don't you think it's a good fit?"
There are no purple mist or unknown seed threats on the ocean, and the training ground itself is a large ocean, so there is nothing wrong with putting it in this purple ocean.
What's more, according to the current survey data of the underwater probe, there are only microorganisms in this ocean, and there is no threat such as giant monsters.
Ethan thought of doing this because he remembered the legend of rushing through the stormy seas in search of the endless land......
Now that the endless land is here, Ethan has placed the entire training ground on the purple ocean, and then set aside a little passage for adventurers to pass through the energy layer to the purple sea, so adventurers can reach this purple continent as long as they work hard.
Moreover, the strength of the adventurers who can be successfully killed from the training ground is also guaranteed, and they can open up enough living space for those who come after them.
When more and more people come here, the situation in this world will gradually become known to more people, and then attract more people to leave the training ground and go outside, and by the day the training ground stops running, they should have adapted to the environment of this planet.
As for where these people will go in the future, it is up to them.
