Chapter 588: The Other Side of the Earthsea
The plant that Miao Pu is now trumpeting is not suitable for growing underground, in fact, what kind of plant is suitable for growing underground, Miao Puzhen still doesn't know, and the main reason for choosing this plant is because they are relatively close to the middle of the element map. The closer to the two ends, the more demanding the cultivation conditions, on the contrary, the closer to the middle, the more inclusive and adaptable. So these plants can barely be planted, but the income is much reduced.
Unlike the kind of grafting planting on the sea boat, soil planting is more cumbersome, but it is also relatively more profitable, which is different from the things used in combat, it is not mainly spawned by abilities, if it grows quickly, but Miao Pu will lose money.
First of all, improve the soil quality, plant it, give birth to it, and immediately harvest it, such a process does not take long, and the consumption of life energy is not large. The land here is relatively barren, and Miao Pu withered ten times repeatedly, and asked [Moro] to help crush the corpses of plants, so that he could obtain the required humus soil.
After that, it is the planting of 6 consecutive stubbles of "hungry and thirsty plants", where "hunger and thirst" is used to describe the state of these plants, they are in urgent need of life energy replenishment, as far as the planting of this plant is concerned, the advantage is that the results are fast, the disadvantage is that the mental power is consumed, and it is always inseparable from human care.
With this batch of energy foundations, the planting is a serious product, these plants have added the plant element factors obtained from the underground space, that is, those variants of [magic tendons] or something, although it is not good, but it is already the best choice that Miao Pu can get his hands on at present.
In terms of appearance, this plant is not tall and has plantain-like leaves, which should have some ornamental value in the past. For Miao Pu, it is like a rubber tree, which can harvest life energy again and again, and the harvest is basically proportional to its growth years, which is a plant that can be used for a long time.
With enough life energy, repairing the sea ship was quick, and this was already the 19th.
That afternoon, Luo Zhiqing rushed back. She had been out since yesterday evening and had begun to explore this new land, and now she had gained a lot
Positioning with # table coordinates, the route originally set by Miao Pu and his party was almost straight to the south, but the place where they are now settled is in the southwest, which is about 1o degrees off.
Luo Zhiqing had the intention of correcting the course when she came out, so she followed the coastline all the way to the south, using her specialty of spatial movement, exploring all the way, all the way forward, until there was no road ahead, and then she turned.
With the return of Luo Zhiqing, based on the number of information he gave, Miao Pu and his entourage explored a much larger map. As far as the overall appearance is known, the north-south span of the underground space has been proven, at least 26 kilometers over.
Theoretically, this distance is really a bit ridiculous, because it means that if you open a shaft from the south end, you will not be able to go abroad.
The measurable results are such a conclusion, even if there is an error, it is not too much worse, even if the vast sea is put aside, just 6 places, from the forward camp to the seaside is a straight-line distance of nearly 2o kilometers, Luo Zhiqing poked out more than 100 kilometers to the south, this is nearly 4oo is not counting the B day of normal sailing with streamers, it is a non-stop voyage day and night, even if it is not a straight sailing, running a straight line distance of 66 kilometers is definitely not nonsense.
Of course, how vast the underground space is is not the focus of Miao Pu's concern, the focus is whether this is the place they want to go, if not, how to go next.
Now, with Luo Zhiqing's return from her exploration, both questions have been answered.
"It looks like we'll have to travel southeast by boat to get to the other side." Miao Pu said, looking southeast. As far as the eye can see, the sea and the desolate coastline, the tall mountains formed by the gray-brown bare rocks resemble a tattered fence, although many are broken and not so neat and beautiful, but still act as a barrier between the sea and the land. It's a pity that no matter which side it is, the scenery looks monotonous and barren, which makes people lack the ** to stay here for a long time.
Regarding Miao Pu's statement, Luo Zhiqing didn't know how to answer. After all, the other side is actually an imaginary target, and it is unknown whether it exists or not.
But on the other hand, she also hopes that the other side is real, and it is in the direction that Miao Pu is pointing to, otherwise the situation will be really big, once the target is lost, in order to find clues, they may have to search in this sea for a long time. Moreover, this is what they fear the most, they may have the courage to face events similar to the sea monster battle again and again, but they cannot resist the passage of time.
Miao Pu also knew that time waits for no one, and as a qualified intelligent auxiliary tool, the machine spirit had already helped him list some important numbers. After reading these numbers, he was very clear about what he could do and what to do now.
"Tomorrow, by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, we'll have to set sail again. Then we have no more than 6 hours to look for the other side, whether it works or not, and then we will return home. We carried almost enough supplies for such a journey, and we could even starve for 12 days. ”
Luo Zhiqing was a lot relieved when she heard this, to be honest, she was afraid that Miao Pu would be desperate and there would be no return. Looking at Miao Pu's past, it is not once or twice that the reckless behavior of the soldiers is dangerous, and the possibility of doing it again is really great.
"Is there enough fresh water?" She asked with concern.
"As long as the Heart of Thorns doesn't function normally for days like it used to be, that's enough."
"Where's your life-based energy reserves?"
"I can only do my best. It feels like you're never getting enough. Miao Pu's expression was a little depressed.
One of the most important issues with moving from Charge to Command is ability caps. Although for the time being, it is still possible to feed the war with war and balance the balance of revenue. But his ability capacity still seems too small to be opened. To use an enterprise as an analogy, the scale and products of the enterprise can be said to be good, but the only problem is cash flow, the cash available for operation is too little, and the ability to resist risks is too poor.
Luo Zhiqing also realized that the topic was a little too dull. She said, "Speaking of which, I brought some small gifts for you when I went out this time. ”
As she spoke, she pulled out several vacuum-packed silver bags from her space-gap backpack. When I opened them one by one, it was full of plants.
"I don't study plants, so I tried to pick and choose something that looked special, and I didn't know if you could use it."
Luo Zhiqing didn't know that the core of Miao Pu's life ability was the extraction and application of plant elemental factors, thinking that he, like most plant powers, had the core of the ability to produce seeds, and to achieve the goal of inducing seeds and directional reproduction.
Miao Pu's eyes lit up and thanked him repeatedly.
Speaking of which, Miao Pu originally also had the intention of exploring and collecting. But time is pressing, and both the repair of sea ships and the collection of life abilities are inseparable from people, so they can only give up.
Luo Zhiqing's gift is simply too thoughtful.
And he also knows that although Luo Zhiqing's space gap backpack is a void storage, a typical fantasy-level backpack, but in fact, due to personal ability and other reasons, the space should not be large, and he can bring back so many kinds of plants, which is obviously not a temporary idea, but a plan early in the morning, vacating the backpack to contain things, this is friendship (ordinary items, can not withstand the power of space transfer, so Luo Zhiqing does not bring a normal bag).
What Miao Pu expected even more was that there were two of these more than ten kinds of underground plants that he could use.
This ratio is very staggering, you must know that from the frontier camp to the coast of the sea and earth, two hundred kilometers, along the way there are mangrove grasslands, lush plants, too many to mention, but only four of them.
Although these two plant elements are very low-end, the value of underground plants with excellent adaptability is still very good.
One of these two plant element factors was named by Miao Pu: [Life Fruit], as the name suggests, its fruit or seed, contains life energy, and has become the best life energy supplement.
In terms of the amount of energy alone, the [Life Fruit] may not be very good, but its energy is stored in the form of fruits, and it is also a nut, which is simply described as a fruit full of vitality. Storing it is obviously more cost-effective than storing energy melons that have a time limit and an extremely unstable energy state
Another plant element factor was named "poor people's lung" by Miao Pu. This is a typical environmental modification plant that ingests all kinds of gases that are harmful to the human body, but it emits a fairly good quality of oxygen. It can be said that this is a strategic elemental factor in a harsh environment.
With the [Life Fruit], Miao Pu is bound to extend the stay time to the greatest extent, so as to prepare an extra guarantee for the next voyage.
More time is helpful for the restoration of the ship, and the vine growth is simple, but the restoration of the large tree is not easy. And the big wood is the main material of the sea ship, and even the buoyancy of the sea ship is largely due to them. Although Miao Pu's vines have many advantages, such as toughness, dense quality, etc., but with this series of advantages, one characteristic is also inevitable, that is, heavy, heavier than the same amount of steel, so they cannot float at sea. If it weren't for that, he would have woken a sea ship out of vines. After all, Damu is not the product of the plant element factors he mastered, and neither the growth length nor the plant characteristics can be compared with the mixed plants optimized by fusing the elements.
During this period of stay, Kang Danian and they were not idle, divided into three groups, and used [Moro] as an eagle dog to explore the desolate world. Collecting all kinds of samples, taking pictures of the terrain, etc., these are their tasks, and the opportunity to explore the underground space is rare, and they naturally do not come to see the scenery.
On the 2nd, the sea ship lifted anchor again, because the restoration has not yet been completed, and Miao Pu's thirst for life energy has almost no upper limit, so the deck of the sea ship is full of plants, and there is also an extended expansion platform, which is also used to plant flowers and plants, and from a distance, it looks like a large flower basket floating on the sea.
That night, Miao Pu and the others saw a new sea creature, which looked like a tuna in terms of shape alone, but the tuna could not have a carapace similar to that of a crab and lobster, nor could it be shining, and it was wrapped in energy.
These creatures have Feng Shui hybrid abilities, which are definitely rare in the current Genhua world, even rarer than just having two attributes, because the latter doesn't mean that the two abilities can be fused, while the former can. Not only does it have the advantage of dual attributes, but it also has the purity of a single attribute, and this kind of energy fusion can be described as high-end. Even Miao Pu, before the Balance system awakened, the mix of its three abilities was significantly inferior to it.
Fortunately, this strange and beautiful creature was not interested in Miao Pu and his party, just passing by, they jumped out of the sea in groups, climbed to a height of nearly 100 meters at an almost straight angle, and then swooped down diagonally, the mixed attribute energy not only allowed them to swim freely in the water, but also allowed them to gain the ability to glide in the air, a dive is hundreds of meters away, the degree is extremely fast, from a distance, just like the light belt formed by the convergence of the star shuttle, like a dragon on the sea, making waves.
Perhaps it was the miraculous flying fish that brought good luck, and the rest of the voyage was smooth sailing, with no sea monsters or bad weather, and the sea was even as calm as a large lake for a time, and the boats sailed on it with almost no bumps.
On the afternoon of the 21st, Zhou Shuai, who was on duty in the lookout basket at the top of the main mast, saw 6 places, jumped off the mast excitedly, and ran into the cabin to tell Miao Pu and others about the situation.
After about an hour, the boat had reached the edge of the 6 lands, but all the sight was high cliffs, and the reef was dense, and there were no bays to park the boat.
The sea boat followed the coastline to the east, gradually drifting northeast, until about 2 o'clock on this day, and found a suitable beach for Deng6.
The sea boat was anchored, and Miao Pu and his party took a small boat to the beachhead.
The beachhead here is also desolate, but the senses are much better than the previous 6 places, the white sand beachhead, the blue rocky mountains are majestic, like the walls of the Titan Giant City, blocking people's view. As far as the eye can see, these are these two things, there is nothing left, simple, but mysterious. People can't help but think, what kind of scene is behind this steep mountain?
"Maybe it's another wonderland." Remembering the scenery he had just seen when he entered the underground space, Qian Lihang muttered.
"I don't know if it's a trap, but it's the other side we're looking for, I'm sure of that." Miao Pu said, pointing his finger forward.
Everyone looked far away in that direction, their eyesight was not as good as Miao Pu's, but they could also vaguely see that there seemed to be a big black hole under the mountain rock.
More than ten minutes later, the last group of personnel came ashore. The B lizard had long since been abandoned, and everyone, including some of the [Mora], had to carry the wrap of the vines on their backs, and the group walked forward.
In front of the cave under the boulder, Luo Zhiqing was already waiting there. She was the first to confirm the situation, indeed, this huge cave was not naturally formed, but artificially excavated, Luo Zhiqing judged that the giant eel monsters were the most suspicious when such a rock cave was excavated.
The cave is roughly cylindrical in shape, with a diameter of more than 6 meters, large enough to ⊥ the largest known giant eel monster Tongguò.
The cave is long, high and low, rugged, and has forks, but it is not a labyrinth, and in general direction, it goes deep to the south.
With Luo Zhiqing here, even if it is the first time for the group, they basically don't need to take many unjust roads. Even so, Miao Pu still let [Moro] leave enough markers along the way to make it easier to confirm the route.
About 2 kilometers or more, the cave came to an end.
What suddenly opened up in front of me was a huge basin surrounded by cliffs and mountains, with no borders visible on either side or in front of them, and the place where the group was located was halfway up a cliff.
There is no need to abseiling, and on the left side wall, the giant eel monster has already cleared the way.
It was a rock ramp that descended diagonally, like a plank road carved out of the rock, with a rock wall on the left, a rock overhead, and even on the right, there were many places like cave tunnels. However, the rock wall on the left is relatively thin, and many places have collapsed, and the light shines in, creating sections of light and making the entire ramp not as dark as in the previous cave. The only problem is that this ramp is not dug for people, there are no steps, and in this huge basin, the humidity is so great that the ramp is slippery, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to walk normally.
Fortunately, there are no ordinary people in Miao Pu and his party, and when people walk down, they deliberately exert their feet, and the rock slope is smashed out of one pit after another, and after stepping down, the ugly but simple ladder is almost there.
Miao Pu's eyesight is excellent, he can intuitively learn more things, just on the edge of the cliff, he has been looking at it for a long time.
Unlike the 6 worlds on the other side of the Earthsea, this basin is also full of plants, but it is noticeably less mature than that side.
The word mature, used here, may not be so appropriate, perhaps it is more appropriate to use "primitive".
Although Miao Pu studied plants, he only knew a little about fur, and he was not sure if it was as he thought. After all, what he saw was really different from the book materials. The plants here, the ecology here, really seem to be on another planet, and it is not the type of "Pandora" that makes people easily associate with the natural environment of the earth.
At least, none of the plants here are green. Not green, often means no chlorophyll, no chlorophyll, and its life structure is very likely to be very different from the well-known plants.
Perhaps, such a situation can be blamed on the fact that this is underground. But in the pure underground world, there is no such rich and diverse plants.
It is affected by sourcedization, and more importantly, there is a much higher evolution progress than the surface.
Miao Pu doesn't know exactly what led to the derivation of zhì, or if it started a long time ago. However, one thing he can be sure of is that the ecosystem here is very different from the surface and even the other side of the earth.
Explore, all the way south, to solve the mystery. He set a new goal.
