Chapter 273: The ...... of the Curved Stem Hanging to the Sky

I can't find a way to cross the sea, and there is a way to find another way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually, some things are really not as complicated as they seem, if you are a person who is good at observing and searching, then you can always find the answers you need from some inconspicuous corners, and all you have to do is change your way of thinking.

"So, from the very beginning, our idea has gone into a misunderstanding, although most of the Moon Prayers use canoes to cross the sea, but we don't have to fight the whole tree at all, but can do it another way." Xinglan looked at the plant in front of her and sighed with some emotion, "It was really a mistake to realize this after being reminded." ”

The forests of the Nanyuan Continent cover a very vast area, and the types and numbers of creatures in them are innumerable, Xinglan does not think that she is a scholar who is particularly interested in studying the classification of animals and plants, she is more like an explorer, she likes to observe those different life, but she does not name ordinary animals and plants one by one. Even after decades of living in this forest, she didn't fully understand the role of each plant, so it dawned on her when she discovered this particular plant as reminded of the passing of the wind, and understood what the so-called method of change meant.

It's not a miracle plant, and it doesn't have the mysterious and dangerous properties of the hollow carrot. It was just a very simple plant, with a slender trunk growing upwards from the ground, like a slender tube bent by its own gravity that suddenly bent in the air in an arc, and the hard shell was covered with tiny sacs, which were sealed and hollow, and seemed to be filled with gas, but did not break easily.

It's not exactly the same, but if you had to find something close to this plant, it's probably bamboo. Both have elongated trunks, but the plant relies entirely on the small green sac-like cavities and integues on the surface for photosynthesis, and it does not even grow a leaf, but at the very top that is bent almost horizontally a slender stem hangs down, and at the end blooms an upside-down flower, the center of which is in full bloom directly towards the ground, and whenever a breeze blows, you can clearly see pollen falling from it and flying in the wind, which is the pollination season.

Arc bamboo, that's how Xinglan called this plant, and the people who prayed for the moon didn't name this inconspicuous and unused plant in life, so Xinglan also gave it a more vivid name. These arc bamboos do not form large bamboo forests, but are scattered throughout the forest, completely submerged in the forest.

"We're going to use this plant to cross the sea? But how can such a thin plant be used as a tool to cross the sea, and you can't always grab it and swim all the way over? Mu Xue was very puzzled by Xinglan's sudden start to look for this kind of arc bamboo in the forest, she didn't know how this slender looking plant could withstand the wind and waves on the vast sea, but since there was no other way at the moment, she also had the last trace of expectation for this, "Even if you are not afraid of any danger on the way, you will not be allowed to mess around." ”

"That's not the case, anyway, it's something called a bamboo raft, right......" Xinglan felt a little troubled in addition to being surprised that the Moon Prayer People had not made a raft from tree branches, because it would be very troublesome to explain to Mu Xue what a bamboo raft was, so it would be better to make the finished product directly to show her, "If it is a large bamboo raft that is relatively well done, crossing the strait should be no worse than a canoe." ”

Although there is still a big gap between the appearance and the so-called bamboo, and the inside of the arc bamboo is not a completely sealed structure, but there are a large number of hollow sac-like structures attached to both sides of its outer layer. As long as you don't pierce every tiny airbag, the force required to force the arc bamboo into the water is very large, so it can definitely meet the requirements of carrying people and goods.

The arc bamboo is different from those big trees, its trunk is as tough and slender as the bamboo, even with the use of daggers can be cut open, and with the strong physical fitness of the moon people, although it is not easy to bring a single arc bamboo to the sea, it is not too difficult, when the time comes, it only needs to be connected to the sea into a larger bamboo raft on the beach, and it can be used for crossing the sea like those wooden boats.

After all, just by looking at the wooden boats that shattered when they hit the reef, you can see that these canoes made by the Moon Prayer People are not of solid quality, and the suggestion of Wind Passing is indeed appropriate.

After Xing Lan roughly explained, although she was a little skeptical about the reliability of the bamboo raft, Mu Xue still had some vague understanding, after all, this was not a super strong practice, and she could still understand it after a little imagination, but she still had some questions: "So how do we connect these arc bamboos together in the end?" The vines that make clothes can't afford to toss on the sea, and they have to be made of very strong materials. ”

"Perhaps, there is a material that is very suitable for making ropes." Xinglan remembered a plant she had seen on Arashi, perhaps the toughest of the plants that Arashi could use to make ropes...... That's right, it's the golden vine that wraps around the surface of the iron tree, and the naturally formed composite structure is much tougher than ordinary vines or ropes made of bark, "Although it is difficult to cut this plant directly with a knife, it can still be broken if it is burned by fire." ”

"Huh?" Mu Xue didn't understand much, but Xing Lan didn't plan to explain anymore, she directly pulled out the dagger that was already a little rusty from her waist, and this action quickly diverted Mu Xue's attention, this was the first time she saw the dagger at such a close distance, the familiar appearance made her exclaim, and subconsciously looked at her dagger and found that it was still on herself.

"Don't look at it, your dagger was mine." Xing Lan naturally noticed Mu Xue's movements, and couldn't help but chuckle, and didn't explain much, but aimed at the arc bamboo in front of him and slashed down...... Even the most perfect plan has to be tested through actual operation, "Let's get this arc bamboo to the beach first." ”

Click!

With a crisp crash, the high-carbon steel dagger was firmly stuck on the surface of the arc bamboo, almost sinking into a third of it. The arc bamboo is not as strong as those trees, but it is definitely not something that can be cut casually, even with Xinglan's strength, it is just to cut the dagger into so many distances. However, this depth was enough, and after moving back and forth a few times and pulling out the dagger, Xing Lan could already clearly feel the instability of this arc bamboo. She glanced at Mu Xue, who quickly understood what she meant and quickly retreated, and then Xing Lan kicked directly at the part where the arc bamboo was cut down.

Well, you must know that Xinglan is not wearing shoes, so her current action is directly kicking the main trunk of the arc bamboo with her bare feet, which makes Mu Xue a little stunned...... However, as a mechanical body, this kind of action is really not difficult, Xinglan raised her head indifferently, and watched the arc bamboo, which was four or five meters high, finally unable to support its weight after a violent shaking, and slowly fell down with the sound of breaking at the gap, and fell directly to the ground.

This loud noise caused a lot of commotion in the forest, and a flock of birds flew up not far away at the moment when the arc bamboo fell, and the initiator looked at the arc bamboo that fell to the ground with satisfaction, although it was a little dissatisfied that its main trunk was not as straight as bamboo but curved into an arc, but this material was indeed strong enough. Xinglan walked a few meters forward before she could see the flower that was originally hanging upside down on the top of the arc bamboo...... It was a very large flower, about half a meter in diameter, but at this time, due to the collapse of the arc bamboo, the flower had also been completely deformed, and it was almost completely reduced to fragments.

Maybe it can't be cut off with a knife for the main trunk of the arc bamboo, but for the slender flower stem, Xinglan still easily cut it off from the main part. Not all plants on Arashi are as dangerous as the empty radish, this is just a very ordinary flower.

This deforestation does not cause damage to the ecology of the forest, as it is insignificant compared to the forest as a whole. After Xinglan cut off the flower stem at the top, she tried to grab the main trunk of the arc bamboo from the ground, the density of the main trunk of the arc bamboo is indeed very small, so the weight is not very large, even Mu Xue can drag it to walk, due to the existence of those small air bags, as long as you grasp the surface, it is not easy to slip off.

"I decided to use this, as for the problem of the trunk bending...... A symmetrical connection between the two sides should be solved. Xinglan waved her hand at Mu Xue, looking very happy, "If you want to build a raft within a week, you can't be lazy." You drag this trunk to the shore where I saw the wreckage of the boat last time, and then I'll go to the forest to find other arc bamboos suitable for rafts, and then gather the materials first. ”

"Yes." After hesitating for a moment, Mu Xue still didn't say anything, but grabbed the end of the slender arc bamboo directly from the ground...... They had already considered the problem of transportation before looking for the arc bamboo, so it was actually not very far from the coastline, "Is it directly on the beach there?" We can build it in time, right? ”

"Don't worry, as long as you're not lazy, it's definitely too late." Xinglan waved her hand, and the signal sub-network had already begun to simulate how to make a reasonable bamboo raft structure with arc bamboo, and she chuckled and narrowed her pale red eyes. This matter can only be regarded as a casual matter for her, and there are many issues that seem more important to her just what she is thinking about at this time, such as the source spora silk that mutates from time to time in the Death Base, the starship that carries the Eternal Realm and Flowcrystal, and the cloned body that is gradually taking shape in the biological laboratory...... and the tide knot that was still waking up and looking around blankly.

She didn't know how many eyes had been cast on Lan Xing in the starry sky at this time, but at least in this era, in the flood years when this intelligent creature was born, Lan Xing was still quiet and peaceful as a whole...... Even so, all this is probably just the calm before the storm.
