The forest intermittent preliminary exchanges, cooperative action search and departure.

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

The foliage above was trembling, not as a result of the wind or raindrops hitting the leaves, but as a disturbance caused by something moving through it. Although this unusual movement seemed faint in the noisy environment, it could not hide from anyone present...... There are no beginners here.

"Did you catch up?" Muttering in a low voice, Yumo moved a few steps to the side, carefully protecting Yunmo around him, and even touched the last fruit of the Vulcan Tree on his waist with one hand, "If it's a tracker, then it must be eliminated as soon as possible." ”

However, Xing Lan showed a relaxed smile instead, waved her hand to signal that she didn't need to be nervous, and looked at the canopy above: "It's okay, it's okay, I know, this is not an enemy." ”

"Huh?" Yumo was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, a figure flew down from above along the trunk of the tree at a very fast speed, and went straight to Xinglan, who was standing still, "Be careful......

She paused in the middle of her sentence, and she watched in amazement as Xinglan spread her hands and catch the tidal knot falling from the sky, and the latter jumped nimbly down her arm to her shoulder, her sapphire eyes scanning everything around her.

"Ah, that ......" met the other party's shocked eyes, Xing Lan smiled a little embarrassedly, and reached out to pat the tide knot on his shoulder, "This should be considered my friend, not an enemy anyway." ”

"Really? With this kind of affinity, although it doesn't look like ...... on the outside" But Yumo didn't know what she was thinking, muttering to herself, with a kind of confidence in her eyes that she had seen through everything, and turned to look at Yunmo, "Sister, can you ...... directly?"

"No! You're so reckless! For some reason, Yun Mo's reaction this time was also a bit big, and he was no longer calm before, and after denying Yu Mo's plan without hesitation, he looked at Xing Lan with some surprise, "Speaking of which, I don't know what your name is......"

"Just call me Xinglan." Frowning slightly, Xinglan was very puzzled by their strange performance, but she was not in a hurry...... A long time will naturally reveal the truth of everything.

What's wrong with your performance? Xinglan carefully recalled the previous events, even though there were many things that were incredible to them, but there was no obvious special situation. As for the question of the tide knot...... Xinglan was sure that they would definitely not be surprised by the race of Mi Xin, but would be surprised that Xiyu and Xinglan were so close.

But this doesn't make sense, what's so strange about getting close to animals, just Yumo himself, who has been very friendly with some passing animals before. If you are a child child, it is normal to get close to each other.

You know, even the clothes and equipment on Xinglan's body, which are obviously out of place in this era, didn't attract much attention from them, but they were so surprised in some way that they didn't know.

"Don't say anything yet." Xinglan whispered in a signal next to Xijie's ear, and then took a few steps towards the location of Yunmo and Yumo...... This inconspicuous action actually made Yumo reflexively make a defensive move, and then she suddenly reacted, and smiled at Xinglan embarrassedly, there was actually a trace of ...... in her eyes A look of pity?

Eh, what kind of mess are you making up in your head, what kind of trouble is it to suddenly show such a look of pity!

I said...... Now that we're settled, shouldn't we go around and explore? Xinglan leaned against the trunk of the tree, clasped her hands around her chest and looked at the somewhat silly rain foam, the other party's somewhat innocent demeanor at this time was really like a child, "Your sister is injured, it's better to find some food and plants that can be treated, it will be dark later." ”

He didn't hide that he had spoken about plant healing, and since Wind Death had even taught this modern language to this race, then Xinglan believed that they would also be able to understand the concept of herbal healing, not to mention the intelligent race, even ordinary animals would use some simple herbs to help them heal themselves.

Sure enough, Yumo immediately understood what Xing Lan meant, but she looked at Yun Mo with some hesitation: "But sister, she ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not a kid anymore." Yun Mo waved his hand indifferently, indicating that he had no problem, and there was a hint of a smile in his silver eyes, "Although you have found it, although your foot is injured, it is no problem for me to protect myself." ”

Walking up to Yun Mo, Xing Lan took a deep breath and took out one of the two high-carbon steel daggers and handed it to her, the sharp edge of the dagger far exceeded the wooden or stone tools of this era, and the meaning of handing it to her at this moment could not be clearer.

"It's okay, I'm still fine." Yun Mo looked up at Xing Lan in some surprise, but finally took the dagger, looking at this sharp weapon that she had never seen before, her eyes couldn't help but look a little strange, and she glanced at Xing Lan with deep meaning, "Then you can rest assured, Xing Lan." ”

"Yes." Nodding slightly, Xinglan patted the tide knot on his shoulder, and the latter immediately nodded knowingly, and jumped to the trunk of the tree next to him with a slight jump, sensing the distribution of life nearby for early warning work.

"Thank you." After seeing Xinglan give one of the daggers to Yunmo so easily, Yumo expressed her gratitude again, and ran over to hold Xinglan's hand with some affection...... Although the height comparison between the two sides makes this combination look weird, "Then let's set off around here, you can't go too far so as not to get lost, and it is estimated that Xiao Jia will come back in a while, so you have to prepare a little more food." ”

"Xiao Jia? What's that......"

"Xiao Jia is Xiao Jia." Yumo blinked with a smile, with a hint of slyness, "You'll definitely be scared later!" ”

Xinglan, who was stopped by her hand and began to walk towards the forest next to her, raised her head and pretended to look at the sky while thinking, once again she got a lot of information from the simple contact and conversation just now.

First of all, the settlement of the second race must be a little far from here, at least with Yunmo's current condition, they would definitely not be able to hold out there, otherwise they would not have agreed to the suggestion to find herbs and food nearby, but should return to the settlement immediately to recuperate.

Second, considering the time from the landing of the shuttle to the gathering of the beasts, the speed at which they arrived inevitably seemed a little too fast, so Yunmo and Yumo should not have been sent by the tribe to investigate the situation as Xinglan had speculated before, but it was very likely that they had been operating in the nearby area in the first place, and they just happened to see the shuttle landing.

Thirdly, the touch of her palm seemed to be very interesting, Xinglan held the other party's palm that turned into a dark brown like tree bark, but she didn't feel anything strange...... This is already a peculiarity in itself, looking at the previous action of Yun Mo climbing the shell of the shuttle, Xing Lan thought that holding their palms would feel sticky like tape, but she could only feel the roughness of the skin lines.

This is no longer a problem that can be solved by relying on one's own sense of touch and vision alone, but can only be solved by observing the microscopic level through signals, and Xinglan has indeed done so.

That's a special structure at the microscopic level.

When the skin was magnified thousands of times, it became a land of thousands of ravines, and in this land, Xinglan saw tiny holes densely distributed, and they ...... It's not just pores, some of them stretch and stretch into a very fine bristle, so thin that it's almost atomic.

If all of these bristles are extended, the surfaces that come into contact with them will be firmly drawn together...... This is no longer a simple frictional force, but an atomic-level van der Waals force, and the difference is more than an order of magnitude!

Once the bristles are all shrunk back, the strong attraction will naturally disappear, and there is no need to force the two to be torn apart, because it will not take much effort to shrink back separately from each other, and this structure is fully adapted to the climbing needs of any terrain...... It can even be said that the smoother the place, the stronger the support it can provide.

"I see, it's really the same microscopic adsorption structure as the gecko's palm." Xinglan muttered quietly, "But there is also the function of skin cells to quickly adjust the pigment combination to change the color......

"Huh? What's what? Yumo, who had been vigilant, quickly became enthusiastic after getting acquainted with it, she didn't know that she had just been scanned the structure of her palm, and looked Xinglan up and down curiously, "Hmm, are you this skin color, this color seems to be interesting." ”

As she spoke, the color of the simulated tree trunk on her body began to fade rapidly, turning into an ordinary skin color exactly the same as Xinglan, and now from the appearance, except for the special shape of her pupils, she was almost exactly the same as an earthling, and she herself looked at her arm very interestingly: "It seems to be very funny, eh, how did you think of changing to this color?" ”

Xinglan, who felt a little unable to adapt to this enthusiasm, glanced at her speechlessly: "I'm sorry, I won't change color, it's a natural ......"

"Eh, won't it change color? Ah, I almost forgot ......" Yumo's voice suddenly lowered, and she muttered in a low voice, "I'm sorry." ”

…… It always felt like she had been subtly misunderstanding something.

"But aren't you afraid of revealing yourself too much in the forest by changing your skin color like this?" Looking at the rain foam, who had no intention of turning the color back at all, Xinglan couldn't help but ask, "Is it really okay to move forward like this?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, anyway, we're mainly looking for plants, and plants don't run away on their own legs." Yumo looked around indifferently, and it seemed that she really didn't care at all, "Besides, the color of your hair can't change anyway, and it will always be conspicuous when it should be conspicuous, if it weren't for the fact that you were born like this...... Hmph, I want to change my hair color to play with it, too. ”

"Well, that's right." Xinglan nodded, to be honest, she didn't understand why their hair was so conspicuous that they couldn't change color since they had evolved the ability to change skin color, which was very suitable for concealment...... There is no silver-white terrain in nature.

Well, let's keep these mysteries and solve them slowly, it seems that this so-called second race also hides a lot of interesting secrets......
