The canopy tree stands out from the crowd, and the golden fish live at the zenith.

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

Because most of it is located in the equatorial zone of Lanxing, the macro continent has a spectacular tropical rainforest, which is so vast that it directly accounts for two-thirds of the entire continent's area.

But don't worry about massive forest fires, which can't ignite trees in such humid areas with so much rainfall. This vast and fertile rainforest has become an incredibly complex ecosystem, a land of wonders.

"Here, we're already deep in the rainforest." Xinglan looked back in the air, and he could no longer see the sea, nor the terrible storm on the shore, and above here was a beautiful blue sky, "completely away from the coastline......

After witnessing how the birds were killed by the witty Doulong, Xinglan left the area. Although she still had doubts about some questions, such as how Guan Long knew that the metal rod could attract lightning, and where the slightly rough metal rod came from, these questions were obviously difficult to figure out in a short period of time, and Xinglan couldn't wait to go deep into the macro continent.

The white puffin's flight speed was very fast, and even though Xinglan didn't use jet propulsion, it was still fully entered the macro continent after an hour. At this time, Xinglan slowed down his flight speed slightly, allowing his tired muscles to rest, and then prepared to descend to take a good look at the ecosystem here.

The rain stopped imperceptibly, and most of the trees that appeared below were standard broadleaf rainforest trees, with boundless green spreading into the distance, however, Xinglan suddenly noticed some trees that were out of the ordinary.

They are tall and numerous, and in the dense woods, these giant trees, which are noticeably taller than the others, stand out very much. Of course, height is not their main feature, what is more special is that the tips of these trees spread out in all directions, creating a huge recessed structure filled with ...... Water.

That's right, the tops of these trees act like a bowl to store the rainwater that falls from the sky, forming a structure like a small lake. Looking down from the sky, there are a few ripples in the forest here from time to time, which has a fantastical feeling.

"It seems interesting...... Xinglan gently spread her wings and glided down, flying a few meters above the canopy, observing the trees that protruded in height and formed a small pool at the top, "One tree and one pond, let's call you canopy trees." ”

After lowering the altitude again, Xinglan could already hear the dense chirping of insects in the forest. These nature musicians seem to want to render the summer atmosphere to every corner, singing loudly in the lush rainforest, but there is a disturbing chaos in the order.

"The pond in the forest sky is really interesting." Xinglan felt a little tired, "Is this the real pool?" Or is it a trap similar to pitcher plants? ”

Although they are also in the same area, the small ponds on top of them are very different in terms of ecosystem, and the differences in the species of these organisms even lead to differences in the color of the ponds. Xinglan thinks that this is most likely due to the different growth times of the canopy trees and the accidental migration of creatures.

After hovering over the rainforest for a while, Xinglan chose a canopy tree as a landing site. The pond on this tree appears to be relatively clear from the outside, with only some surface planktonic algae giving the water a pale green color...... In fact, this is also necessary, if the water is really completely transparent, and even the surface algae does not exist, it just means that there must be some hidden danger in the water!

Xinglan didn't hesitate much, with the thought of "it's a big deal, it's just a death", she flew directly to the top of the canopy near the leaves, and then stood on the edge of the wood, looking at the small pond in front of her with a diameter of about one meter.

Looking up at the fire moon in the sky, which was still stubbornly trying to show its presence in the light of the sun, and then at the rainforest below, Xinglan took a deep breath, and then stepped directly into the small pond in front of him.

“…… There is no danger. Xinglan shook her feathers, and directly plunged her whole body into the water, splashing a splash, "It's just ordinary fresh water, but it's ...... here."

"A good place to take a bath~"

After experiencing deserts, volcanoes, cliffs and other places, Xinglan looked very gray, even the white feathers almost turned gray, at this moment, it seemed to enjoy the feeling of cleanliness and freshness that had not been seen for a long time, she splashed happily, and finally simply floated on the water with her back to the sky.

"Good...... Comfortable ......" The dazzling sunlight made Xinglan involuntarily squint her eyes slightly, and her small body sank and floated in the pond, very comfortable, "Eh, this smell ......"

Suddenly, Xinglan smelled a sweet smell, and the source of this smell seemed to be...... The water beneath you?

Turning his head and taking a sip of water gently, Xinglan affirmed his previous thoughts, the small pond here unconsciously turned into a sweet taste, not the digestive juice of the ** animal, but a drink as sweet as honey water.

"Huh?" Xinglan suddenly came to her senses, she flapped her wings to make her body stand up, and then slowly paddled the water, "Can the water here be sweetened?" With such a rapid rate of change, it seems that the sweetening here is due to my arrival? ”

Pitfall? Definitely not. If it is a trap used by the awning tree to trap animals, the water should always be sweet, not after the animals come to the pond.

"Do you mean, underwater?" Xinglan suddenly decided to take a risk, as the white puffin was a seabird, she could swim and could even see clearly underwater, and she plunged into the water......

After all, it was just a small pond on the canopy tree, and the water here was less than a meter deep, so Xinglan folded her wings and made it look like a fish's fin, and then flapped her legs to the bottom of the pool, and found some tubes sticking out of the bottom of the pool......

"Memory bank shape comparison...... Presumably targeted: pollen tubes. ”

In an instant, a feeling of clarity came to her heart, and Xinglan instantly understood why the pond at the top of this tall canopy tree had become as sweet as honey, because this was originally honey, the nectar of the canopy tree.

The tall trunk has no flowers, and its flowers are actually the top pond, and the stamens are at the bottom of the pool, dissolving the nectar in the pool water.

"Interesting, so funny." Xinglan watched as a trace of invisible pollen was constantly emerging from the stamens and dissolving into the water, "This pollination method, this flower form, such an interesting plant, is worthy of Lanxing's creature!" ”

Xinglan quickly flicked her wings, swam straight back to the water, and flew into the air again. It looked around in the air, then locked onto a nearby awning tree and flew away: "Even if the flower has become this form, it can still be colorful......"

It was a red pond, a pond tens of meters high above the land, as red as if it had been soaked in blood, and of course, by the standards of the awning tree, it was a bright red flower.

The white puffin flapped its wings and slowly landed on the wooden structure at the edge of the pond, tilting its head to look at the water: "It looks like it is caused by some kind of red algae or other microorganisms, but it ......"

Xinglan keenly caught the tiny ripples on the water, but the water here wasn't as clear as the canopy tree just now, so she couldn't see what it was, but it seemed that there was something beneath the water......

Expecting that there should be no danger, Xinglan flew directly into the water the next time she saw the ripples appear, and her sharp beak grabbed the other party at once, throwing it to the dry place where there was no water at the top of the canopy tree.

Alive, it's a little golden fish.

Ah, that's right, Xinglan was also surprised, she didn't expect that there would be fish in this backwater pond at all. The canopy tree is a plant no matter how amazing it is, it can't exist for tens of millions of years like a rocky pond, so these fish must have migrated recently, but how are they ......

Xinglan's thoughts froze instantly, and she looked at the small golden fish that was thrown onto the wood in a daze, and the bottom seemed to unfold something like a sucker, it sucked the wood firmly, and then began to move its body slowly. It was slow, but it was very steady until it came to the edge of the pond again, fluttered and fell into the water.

Silently watching the fish dive in the water again, Xinglan somehow remembered the strange brain supplement of the "fish that lived in the tree" before, it seemed that compared to the flame fish in the sea tree forest, these small golden fish living in the pond at the top of the canopy tree are the fish that can really live in the tree for a long time, and even climb the tree. Now, they should depend on the tiny algae in the pond for their livelihood.

They live above the average canopy height and overlook this rainforest, so ......

"Let's call you zeniths." Xinglan looked at the pond where the little golden fish swam with relief in her eyes, and the appearance of the zenith fish made her so happy that she couldn't control it......

"Food, food!" Xing Lan slammed into the water, picked up the golden fish and swallowed it in one gulp, "I was always worried that I wouldn't be able to catch a fish when I came to the Hong Continent, so I wouldn't be reduced to eating insects." But now, lovely zenith fish, you guys are so good......"

Unlike the trees that swayed in the wind, the canopy trees were tall and able to stand still in the wind, but something seemed to be falling from the treetops. I don't know exactly what it is, but it looks like ...... Moral?

……

After a long time, Xinglan, who had eaten and drunk enough and did not die from eating poisonous fish by mistake, left the red pond contentedly. Probably because of the age and other differences, there are also certain differences between the canopy trees, for example, the canopy tree in the red pond does not secrete sweet nectar...... Of course, this may also be because the canopy tree is full of zenith fish, so that it does not have a stress response to secreting nectar due to animal activity.

Suddenly, a loud vibration sounded below, accompanied by the sound of the leaves swaying, and even the awning tree showed a slight shaking. Xinglan hurriedly came to the edge of the canopy and looked down, and what caught her eye was ......

A jungle on the move?
