"How did you do that?" Aoki wondered why the flowing milk evolved so quickly, and if there was any shortcut.

"I thought I wouldn't store the sap in the trunk anymore, and carry it all to the branches, and they wouldn't be able to cut it." The innocent voice of flowing milk sounded.

"Huh? Is that okay too? Khan died. It seems that I am thinking about complicated things. "Aoki only thought in the direction of evolution, and didn't think about just moving that sap to the branches.

To put it bluntly, these rubber emulsions are compounds produced by photosynthesis and are originally used to fight oxidation, kill bacteria and maintain the health of trees. It was only later, after generations of selective evolution (artificial), that the current rubber tree species that can produce more succulent will appear.

"It's done!" Aoki was pleased that as long as there was a precedent of flowing milk, other trees would definitely be affected by it, and perhaps, some of them would have the same mutation.

After the milk flow is successful, the next thing Aoki has to do is wait, wait for them to evolve into flowing milk under the influence of the flowing milk, or wait for them to be catalyzed by the vitality to evolve themselves.

Here's why Aoki wasn't afraid of those rubber plantation owners cutting down those evolved rubber trees.

Rubber trees are planted to the end, with a 30-year rubber tapping period. If the rubber plantation is cut down, it will not be possible to tap the rubber for the first time until four years later. In the past four years, there has been no gain, and it is necessary to constantly pay wages, and no one will do it at a loss. Therefore, for no special reason, rubber plantation owners are certainly not very willing to cut down rubber plantations casually.

And when the rubber plantations are tapped, for the first time in April next year, if the rubber plantation owners find that some rubber trees are no longer producing rubber, their first reaction must be to see what is going on, rather than rushing to cut it down. This could buy Aoki some time.

But soon Aoki didn't have time to think about it, and Aoki suddenly realized that there were many animals in the valley that seemed to be a little wrong.

In the middle of the day, during an inadvertent scan, Aoki was shocked to find that many small animals were lying on the ground, some twitched slightly, some began to foam at the mouth, and even many animals had died. The whole valley was enveloped in a sad atmosphere, and the birds that had been lively were no longer singing.

"Oh my God! What's going on? Aoki couldn't believe what he was seeing was real.

Aoki noticed a little sign yesterday, but he didn't pay attention to it, thinking it was an isolated phenomenon. I didn't expect such a big problem to arise today. And the two giant squirrels and hamsters under the trees on the green wood tree were also lying in the nest, lying on their stomachs and without energy.

Looking at other animals, it seems that carnivores are okay for the time being, and the animals that have accidents are basically animals that feed on plants.

Aoki was stunned by this scene and muttered to himself, "Why? ”

"I should have been able to stop it, it's all my fault!" Aoki is in a state of self-reproach, remorseful for not being vigilant enough to find the signs yesterday. Thinking of the sound of their joy after they were awakened by the lightning strike, the feeling of admiration, and the resonance of their hearts, Aoki hated himself even more.

"No, I can't do that, now is not the time to regret, but to find a solution. The emotion of remorse will only make me make more mistakes, and I have to calm down. Thinking of this, Aoki slowly calmed down and analyzed the reasons.

"Why are there so many animals poisoned? And all are not carnivores? If that's the case, the source of the poison should be from the plant. ”

The last time the poisoning of tourists in Amto was investigated, Aoki happened to be struck by lightning and didn't know the result, so he still didn't know about the accelerated evolution of plants due to predation, and he didn't know what the truth about the last impala poisoning incident was.

"Looking at the wide and scattered branches of the poisoned animals in the valley, it shows that this poisonous plant is definitely not scattered and grows, and there may be one or more species. Since they are poisonous, it stands to reason that animals cannot eat them. Why do you eat it? It means that the animals are inexperienced, that is, the toxins of this plant have just been obtained. ”

After peeling back the cocoon, Aoki felt that he was right: "In other words, this or several plants have just evolved and have accumulated or exploded in the animal's body before they have even reacted at all. ”

"Generally large plants should not evolve toxic substances so quickly, so the source of poison should be small plants."

At this time, Aoki thought of the time when the impala had an accident before being struck by lightning, and they might have fallen for this trick. "Hey, it's all my fault, if I had been more vigilant, there wouldn't have been such a problem today."

"The reason should be small plant poisoning, yes, but how to detoxify?"

"Detoxification...... Detoxification...... How to detoxify......" Aoki muttered to himself, racking his brain to think about how to detoxify.

"Last time I was in the impala, wasn't there a detoxification grass?" Aoki suddenly thought of the impala, as if he had caught something, but it was fleeting. Aoki continued to think about it, trying to grasp that one key point.

Suddenly, Aoki remembered an unrecognized law in nature: all adjacent plants and animals have species competition, and where poison usually appears, there will be an antidote not far away, just like the saying "there must be an antidote within three steps of poison".

From a biological point of view, the living space that nature gives to living organisms is limited, so there must be competition for survival between species. Species will inevitably compete fiercely with each other for living space. Among them, the use of poison to attack other species is an important means, and other species will be eliminated if they do not adapt.

And those species that have adapted adapt because they already have antibodies, or something else to resist these poisons.

However, this rule is not recognized because it also has some inapplicability. For example, in the desert, there is a rattle, and there is only sand and gravel nearby, can sand and gravel be used as an antidote? Obviously impossible.

However, here in the valley, you may find those poisonous plants, and you can find the detoxification (or antibodies) plants.

Thinking of this, Aoki couldn't help but get excited.

"Xiaocang, how are you now?" Aoki's first question was the sluggish little hamster, because it was smaller than the giant squirrel, so Aoki gave priority to helping him.

"Brother Shu, I'm dying!" Its voice was low and weak, very weak, as if it was going to die at any moment.

"Brother Shu, you have to help me save this home in the future! Also, thank you Brother Shu for your continued care. Also, don't think about me in the future, Brother Shu............"

"......" Aoki tried to interject in, but found that the hamster was now incoherent.

"Woooooooooooo At this time, the little hamster cried, as if he was reluctant to this world, reluctant to Aoki.

Aoki was a little moved, but in fact, although Aoki thought of a way, he felt that there was little hope. Among the thousands of plants around, it is difficult to find the corresponding antidote herbs. What's even more difficult is that there may not be any grass that can detoxify at all, and in the end, it is likely that you will work in vain. Thinking that it might leave him, Aoki couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

"Woooooo Brother Shu, I was a virgin before I died, ah......! I'm not reconciled! ”

"......, your sister, a virgin!" Aoki, who was still in a state of sadness, was amused by the little hamster's pre-death declaration. "Don't be like this, tell me what you ate before, maybe you can pick up a small life."

"Really?" Hearing this good news, the hamster seemed to regain a little energy.

"Really, but only if you have to tell you what you've been eating these days."

"Think about it, I've eaten a few small fruits, a few leaves, a few roots, some small insects in the past few days, and that's it."

"......, I can't tell the difference when you say that, to be specific, the kind you have eaten recently." The hamster said it in too general terms, and for Aoki, the information was completely useless.

In the end, a bunch of time was wasted, and no answer was found, and the hamster was even more depressed at this point, as if it had just consumed too much energy from thinking and talking. But he still muttered the word "virgin" or something.

The information was incomplete, and in desperation, Aoki could only avoid the monitoring, gritted his teeth and collected all the nearby grasses that were more like antidotes, put them under the tree, and "picked them up". Of course, the surveillance cameras here have been vandalized or obscured by Aoki.

The hamster, with the support of Aoki, kept sniffing all the plants.

"Brother Shu, no!" The hamsters are even more depressed.

When Aoki saw its appearance, he felt sad in his heart, and hurriedly comforted: "Okay, change the next batch, don't worry, I can find it." ”

Aoki went again to collect the leaves and roots of other plants.
