Chapter 246: The First Battle of the Alien Star (2)
Following the predetermined route target, a group of three people trudged through the jungle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
One by one, the manta monkeys quickly passed over the branches above their heads, and from time to time a few looked curiously at the group of strangers. And in a hidden place in the jungle, some poisonous insects are wandering around.
Although there are dialects to open the way in front of the road, the rugged, slippery ground between the jungles still makes it very difficult for several people to walk.
In addition, Grace and the others had to collect specimens and record the data of various plants and ground covers along the way, so after leaving the plane for more than an hour, the expedition team still couldn't walk much distance in the jungle.
Compared with the other two people who were concentrating on collecting specimens and recording data, in addition to the need to walk in front of the expedition to open the way, the rest only needed to be vigilant and defend when the other two people were concentrating on their work.
For dialects with the two abilities of "conscious perception" and "natural sensing", it is easy to do defensive work. Often, before other creatures could enter the range of a hundred meters in diameter around Fang Yan's body, they had already been discovered by him in advance and calmly killed.
Therefore, the expedition team has been calm along the way, which makes Grace, who was still worried about encountering danger, feel a little relieved, and sigh in her heart that it is really wise for her to choose dialect to be her bodyguard.
But sometimes things don't go as smoothly as one might hope, and the real danger of Pandora's jungle is not yet really unfolding.
Walking in the jungle, in addition to the towering ancient trees and entwined vines, they also saw many strange species.
Unlike the plant system on Earth, most of the plants bred on Pandora have an extremely developed sense of neurotactile. Those hair-thin nerve fibers are almost all over the roots and leaves of these plants.
As a result, some of the plants here react in some interesting ways when they are touched by foreign objects.
For example, just now, they saw one such plant in the dialect.
It is a shoulder-length spiral-shaped plant, red all over, that grows all over an area of the dialect line's walking route.
Passing by this area of plants, Marx curiously touched one of the plants, and with a whoosh of the spiral leaves, it shrank into a small bit, and finally shrank into the ground and disappeared.
"It's amazing!!"
Because he didn't feel any danger from these plants before, the dialect didn't stop Marx's movements, and now he couldn't help but be a little surprised to see the plants shrinking into the ground.
On a whim, Fang Yan also walked over and mischievously touched another plant.
"Whoosh!"
This one shrank to the ground and disappeared.
Fang Yan laughed at it, felt very interesting, and touched several other plants one after another.
"Whoosh!"
The spiral leaves seemed to have been stirred up by a chain reaction, and the entire spiral leaves burrowed into the ground at once, leaving only small holes in the ground.
"What an interesting plant!" Fang Yan couldn't help but sigh, and then his expression moved, "I don't know, do these plants have any other functions?" ”
After a slight mutter, Fang Yan turned to Grace's side and asked her the question. Among the people present, when it comes to understanding the plants and creatures of Pandora, I am afraid that no one knows better than Grace.
However, Grace's answer was to disappoint the dialect, and although the plant known as the "spiral red leaves" had been discovered by humans for a long time, scientists had found that the plant had no other purpose except for the extraordinarily sharp nerve fibers on the branches and leaves in the body.
This is true not only for humans, but also for the Na'vi.
Although Fang Yan felt a little disappointed, he decided to take some samples and wait for himself to go back and study them with the wizard's methods.
Turning around and walking back to the area where the "Spiral Red Leaves" were located, Fang Yan crouched down and placed his palm on the edge of one of the pits.
After using the "natural induction" ability to determine the position of the shrinking plant, he saw his palm shake slightly on the ground, and a finger-sized, dark red plant seed was shaken out of the hole. At the bottom of this seed, however, there are some extremely slender roots.
The dialect carefully plucked these roots out of the hole, trying to preserve the integrity of the roots. After shaking out a dozen seeds in the same way, the dialect let go of these spiral red leaves.
Grace shook her head when she saw Fang Yan's movements, but she didn't say anything. She knew that dialects also had some attainments in biology, but to say that he could break the conclusions made by many scientists, Grace was a little unconvinced.
"But it's good that young people can have some pursuits, at least much better than businessmen who only know how to immerse themselves in the game of money!"
Just as Grace sighed secretly, a sudden palpitation surged over her. Instinctively turned her head, and the scene she saw in front of her suddenly made Grace's eyes widen, and her body subconsciously shuddered.
I don't know when, there were some dangerous Pandora beasts around them, and in the shadow of the surrounding trees, the blood-red eyes were clearly Pandora's unique poisonous wolves.
Being bitten by these poisonous wolves, even if it is a Na'vi physique, will never feel good.
"Huh!"
Just as Grace was a little overwhelmed, she suddenly felt a light breeze pass by her. Turning her head, Fang Yan's figure had already stood beside her at some point, holding a spear in his hand, looking at the poisonous wolves around him with a solemn face.
"Doctor, you go back and stay for a while!" Fang Yan tilted her head slightly at Grace and motioned for her to step back behind her, "I'll take care of them soon!" ”
"Stay safe!" Pursing her lips, Grace only said one sentence, and then obediently walked behind Fang Yan and joined Marx, who had been hiding there for a long time.
She also knew in her heart that in the face of a dangerous creature like a poisonous wolf, she and Marx were purely burdensome, and it would be the best result to be able to do it without adding confusion to the dialect.
Seeing Grace obediently walking behind him, Fang Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. These poisonous wolves are not difficult to deal with, although his current body cannot use witchcraft, but with the physical strength of this avatar and his knightly combat skills, it is enough to easily crush these poisonous wolves.
Fang Yan was worried that Grace and the others would be hurt in the battle. After all, the current enemies are dozens of times their number, and if Grace and the others do not cooperate, it will be difficult for the dialect to fully guarantee their safety in battle.
Fortunately, Grace seems to be quite sane, which also saves the dialect a lot of trouble.
Fang Yan's heart also flashed a trace of chagrin at this time, because of a moment of negligence, he just forgot to expand his sensing ability, and as a result, an enemy attacked at this time. Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise Dr. Grace and the others would have been killed.
"Then the next step is to eliminate these poisonous wolves!"
Looking at the poisonous wolves in front of him, Fang Yan's expression was solemn, and the spear in his hand tilted slightly downward, making a starting hand in a knight's combat technique.
