After a brief hiccup passed silently, the whole water exploration team continued to set off - the book _ bar () was completely windless in the primeval forest without any traces of roads, the ground was completely sparse with grass and trees covered with dead yellow leaves, and the dry gray ground and black rocks were directly exposed in the absence of trees.

After passing through the relatively gentle foothills, the road under the foot gradually entered the inner part of the Black Mountain, and gradually entered the interior of the Black Mountain. Crossing a simple bridge sandwiched between two upright cliffs, made of several rough logs side by side, and walking through the bottomless abyss in the shaking, the mountain in front of Ning Caichen and the others suddenly eased, and the continuous trees lined up in the distance.

The almost identical dry dusk along the way makes the people walking in it very depressed, and the double test of will and physical strength constantly reminds everyone of the danger that may be killed from the dark corners anytime and anywhere in the environment in front of them.

Except for Ning Caichen, who knew nothing about Montenegro, who was more or less lacking in heart and eye awareness, everyone else in the entire water source search team quietly tightened a string in their hearts, keeping the wind and water around them strictly vigilant, so in this somewhat neurotic state, the physical exertion of newcomers and death row prisoners became more and more great.

The team, which was constantly declining in speed, continued to move deeper and deeper into the interior of Montenegro in a relatively open area between withered and decaying forests and grasses, where there were no traces of human activity in nature. The team was squirming in the natural labyrinth, and an open area suddenly appeared in front of them. Suddenly, the connection full of life was color, which made everyone stunned.

The first to rush into the water source to find the team was a tree that was at least nearly a thousand years old, and it took seven or eight to hold hands with each other to be able to hug it, and the purple-gray forest that was rotten in the twilight around it. Completely out of place, lush and thriving, the huge canopy of trees burned in the darkness like a fiery cloud, burning a huge tree with a wonderful and vivid orange color.

On the ground covered by the canopy of the vivid orange-red trees, small white flowers bloom on the top of the emerald green stems and leaves, and clusters of unknown plants and trees also show that this place is completely different from the outside world, and the white flowers gathered around the black rocks are mixed with the orange and red of the canopy above and the ground. Lifted up by the decay and decay of the outside world, the scenery like a ray of morning light in the darkness suddenly invisibly made the people in the water source search team uplift, from spirit to flesh and blood.

The death row inmates who were forced to go to the mountain with the crime of murder. In front of them, they were stunned for a few minutes, and the scenery of hope in despair, which seemed to be a faint symbol, was inexplicably infected everywhere in their suddenly soft hearts, as if it were a virus.

The newcomers to the Phantom World were equally amazed at what they saw, even for these modern people who lived in a skeptical life. After the brief shock brought by this beauty passed, a word called 'unscientific' immediately squeezed into the minds of newcomers without romance at all, and then Yu Wenwei and others cast a plea gaze like veterans.

Ning Caichen, who came to his senses, gave full play. The privilege of intellectuals in the era of feudal dynasties instructed death row prisoners to lay down their luggage and continue to work. Only at this time does the little craftsman himself not look so stupid. The hidden power of the metaphorical customs can be seen from this.

In Mu Yuchen's quietly made gestures, as if admiring the miracle-like existence of flowers and plants in front of them, the phantom team gathered on the other side of the excavation point of the death row inmates, the white-green flowers separated the two sides by several meters, and Ning Caichen, who was very focused on entering the working state, squatted on the ground and kept crushing it with his fingers, and the death row inmates waved their tools to turn out the soil from the ground. …,

"Yeon-yeon!" Zhao Xin nodded slightly to Song Yan, and then gestured to the fierce fire eyes.

Inexplicable and vague fluctuations of magical energy immediately emanated from Song Yan, whose eyes were slightly tightened, like the fluctuation of tiny pebbles thrown into the surface of the lake, and quietly walked in Mu Yuchen's perception. *Book* bar () The invisible energy moved silently and regularly, and then a thin film-like transparent layer enveloped all the people of the Phantom World team.

"Soundproof barrier! Illusion Enchantment! Now everyone can talk as they please! And don't worry about being heard by the plot characters! Song Yan, who had released her magic in an instant, quietly stopped with her phantom-like gesture on her right hand, which was hidden under the wide cuffs, and then her magic power was released again, superimposed with the original layer of energy.

"Everyone knows about my abnormality just now! So, let me explain it to you a little bit! Mu Yuchen, who was vaguely impatient and impatient to him, showed a faint smile to Zhao Xin, and said under the shroud of the soundproof enchantment: "Presumably everyone should have found out!" Compared to the withered plants on the outside! The situation here in Montenegro is much more bizarre! ”

The difference between the yellow feeling of the grass and trees on the periphery of Black Mountain and the purple trees in the withered trees here can be said to be extremely obvious, and such a knowingly asked rhetoric naturally attracted everyone's contempt and squint.

"So who knows what to do! Why is this happening? Mu Yuchen, who was obviously smug in his eyes, said in a voice that imitated the narration of the animal world: "Zhao Xin! Can you feel the energy that pervades this mountain forest, which seems to be mixed in the environment, full of strange atmosphere, but contains special life fluctuations? ”

"Being able to feel a little bit! Do you feel it too? I thought I was nervous! Zhao Xin answered Mu Yuchen's question bluntly.

"What a strange life energy! Have it? Song Yan's eyes widened and she pretended to look left and right in surprise, as if she wanted to be directly evidenced in the environment. Fierce Fire and Ye Ling, who were standing beside the mage, were also confused, and the three of them did not feel the existence of the anomaly at all.

"When you first entered the Black Mountain! Actually, I didn't notice that there was an almost void concentration of xenogeneous energy in the environment! Let me perceive its subjective existence! It's an invisibly interference with my reconnaissance skills. "After entering Montenegro for a while. Mu Yuchen's Origin Perception enveloped the range, and there was a very obvious reduction state, and this abnormality aroused his vigilance.

"The anomalous energy was inaudible at first, but as we continued to move deeper into the Black Mountain. Its density is constantly increasing significantly! Mu Yuchen continued to his companion who looked serious: "From my spiritual intuition! The nature of that energy is very similar to the wolf demon power I came into contact with the night before! ”

"So I think that weird energy is demonic power! And it also belongs to the 2011 new version of A Chinese Ghost Story, the biggest thousand-year-old tree demon grandma's demonic power! Mu Yuchen, who announced his conclusion, stopped, and he waited for all kinds of questions from his companions.

"Are you sure?" Zhao Xin frowned elegantly, and there was no trace of her body in her seriousness, and she said with a cold temperament: "If the captain your guess is correct!" Well that is to say! From the moment we went up the mountain! The Dryad Grandma has already taken our every move under surveillance. ”

As smart as Zhao Xin naturally wouldn't be brain-dead, to suspect that Mu Yuchen's inference was groundless, but directly based on his inference. The question that may be the biggest risk for the Phantom World team at the moment is raised. The attitudes of Song Yan, Menghuo and Ye Lin were exactly the same as those of Zhao Xin, and the newcomers who had no right to speak were also nervous. …,

"I just used the 'understanding' in alchemical ability. A very in-depth examination of the state of the trees growing on the Black Mountain was carried out. Maybe you think these trees are dying! But the reality is very different from what you think! Mu Yuchen said seemingly indiscriminately: "Then! Who can explain the definition of off and role! ”

"Photosynthesis is the use of light energy by producers of plants, algae, or certain bacteria, to convert carbon dioxide, water, or hydrogen sulfide into carbohydrates." Zhao Xin didn't react to Mu Yuchen's question, but Tan Jian, one of the newcomers, praised him and said: "The chemical formula of photosynthesis is twelve parts of water plus six parts of carbon dioxide with sunlight. It undergoes a complex chemical reaction with plant chlorophyll to produce glucose, an energy substance, as well as six parts oxygen and six parts water. ”

"There's still time to show off!" Song Yan then said in a full tone.

"Hey! Summer insects can't talk about ice! Mu Yuchen's face was full of pain as if he had been misunderstood, and then someone said mercilessly: "A certain lady! Can't it be a little? Less snarky to the patient! Do you use your ordinary heart to discover the gold-like truth buried under the expression? ”

"Photosynthesis! Twelve points of water! Six parts of water! "I don't think Mu Yuchen will be so boring. Zhao Xin, who popularized the content of the texts of the Celestial Dynasty junior high school to everyone, chewed repeatedly between his lips and teeth with a beautiful voice. Then she exclaimed that she had repeatedly found something. "Six parts of water! So that's it! So that's it! This is the heart of all the problems! ”

"What six parts of water? Why are you learning to be a captain! Song Yan pouted and said dissatisfied.

"Pride and prejudice are unacceptable! Certain comrades! We have to learn more from other comrades with an open mind! Mu Yuchen, whose mouth continued to be unforgiving, said with a very satisfied smile on his face: "The photosynthesis of plants is in progress!" The biggest consumption is water! Well, guess what! Why is there a drought in the village of Montenegro!? ”

"Captain! You mean! The reason why the village of Montenegro is drought! It's because of all the moisture! Are they all drained by the photosynthesis of plants? Ye Lin repeated Mu Yuchen's metaphorical answer, but the girl's light voice was still full of disbelief.

Although it seems that this theory seems likely! But isn't this scientific!? Tan Jian, who had just carried the village for Mu Yuchen, jumped to the stage of demolition in the blink of an eye, and he was clawing his hair with his face full of confusion, as if he wanted to find the answer from it!

"Our current world is called A Chinese Ghost Story! A monster that really exists in this world! It's also an unscientific product! Mu Yuchen gave a thumbs up and crossed his nose, his eyes were shining and full of blood, and he said, "Boy! Accept the reality! How can life not have the slightest twists and turns! ”

"Yuan Fang! What do you think? Song Yan's soft tone was full of cuteness, and she said to the fierce fire next to her, who was completely dumbfounded.

"My lord! This matter is full of suspicions! I feel like there must be some huge conspiracy hidden behind it!! Zhao Zhichao took over the position that was fiercely fired. This time, the most heroic official among the Chinese people, 'Yuan Fang', seemed to be possessed by his soul and was closely integrated with the chubby youth.

"Straight to the point!" Zhao Xin, who had faint traces of blood vessels floating on his forehead, coldly swept his gaze over the few people who caused the building to be crooked, and the ubiquitous aura of harmony enveloped the audience.

"Ahem! I said where it was! Mu Yu cleared his voice in the morning. He returned to a serious look and said, "That's right! I use alchemy against the trees of Montenegro! Carry out a full range of inspections! It turns out that these plants are better than just not wilting! In fact, their energy metabolism is very good! Even the transformation efficiency far exceeds the normal state by dozens of times! ”…,

"Captain! The green of the leaves comes from the green of the leaves! The pages of these trees are gray on the front and a dark fuchsia on the back! The basis of photosynthesis is the green leaves in the plant's body, and naturally Tan Jian, who was unwilling to be ruined by rigorous science in order to grasp Mu Yuchen's biggest weakness, frowned and argued politely.

"I've told you all! This is a mythical world! And from the point of view of variation! The leaf green is purple-gray, so it can't be purple-gray! From a color point of view! Compared to the green color of normal plants! Gray absorbs light more fully! Mu Yuchen smiled calmly and said, "The atmosphere of this mountain is so gloomy! It's not just about psychology and altitude! You didn't notice it at all! The obvious temperature difference between day and night inside and outside the shade of the trees! Juvenile! How do you explain that!? ”

"Me! I! ……。 ”

"That's it! Young! Don't learn from those old-fashioned old pedants, who have been eroded by the system, from the former research leader to the current scholar! You don't have that kind of qualification yet! Mu Yuchen, who didn't realize that he was a scholar, looked down on the naughty boy from the perspective of his predecessors. He said indifferently tolerant but indifferent.

"You! ……！ I! ……。 Tan Jian, whose chest was fluctuating very violently, had blood vessels bulging in his clenched fists, and he had a little urge to burst out in his stammer, and he restrained himself very self-controlled for a few seconds. Only then did he say in a state where his mood gradually stabilized: "So how do you explain it!" Such a large area of plant variation! You can't say that all the trees in this mountain are youkai! ”

"Boy! You're talking about the point! Mu Yuchen smiled very brightly after speaking, his shining white teeth were set against the surrounding scenery, and it seemed to be sunny but full of cold substance.

"These trees! It won't be like Warcraft inside! Malfurion, of the Night Elves, will suddenly pull out the roots of the trees that have been awakened by the Treants. Then surround us all! Zhou Zhichao, whose divergent thinking was very amazing, issued a diao silk tone with a pale face, even if he flew for ten miles, he still spoke very clearly, and the chubby young man was shocked by his own fantasy.

Mu Yuchen looked at Zhou Zhichao in surprise. His expression seemed to be used as evidence by the others, and suddenly the other members of the Phantom World Team were the same. With his eyes, the special title of 'crow's beak' was used to look at the top of the head of the chubby young man. The imaginary plague-like brewing fermentation that spreads out. Everyone, except for Mu Yuchen, turned a lot paler.

"Boy! You've got a good idea! If it is realized! So if you can survive! Then I personally advise you to be a prophet! It's like Medivan in the World of Warcraft! Mu Yuchen said in a tone that seemed to be admiring, as if what he said was not a curse.

This time, the white eyes of the people welcomed by Mu Yuchen, and then the people who were somewhat frightened just now, were relieved in Mu Yuchen's subtext. If you want to face the tree people who stretch for dozens of kilometers of mountains and forests, what a terrible thing it will be!

So let's get down to business! Tan Jian! You can use your botanical basics! Tell me how many reproductive methods there are in plants! Mu Yuchen seemed to be as friendly as a performance partner.

"Sex and asexuality! For both types of plants, herbaceous and woody! The former is a well-known seed! The latter is vegetative reproduction! The most common ones are root stripping, cuttings, grafting, etc.! Tan Jian, who was as deflated as a ball, opened and closed his lips and repeated the words in his head.

After a simple question and answer, the Phantom World team fell into silence in the enchantment, and the newcomers stared at Mu Yuchen's face, full of faint smiles, as if there was a standard answer hidden on it. The expressions of the veterans were different, Zhao Xin and Song Yan were full of thoughts, and the fierce fire looking around was relaxed, while Ye Lin was covered with a dazed cuteness.

"Plants are able to reproduce through vegetative reproduction! The woods are surrounded by the demonic power of the Dryad!! The first to find the answer was still Zhao Xin, she said with a solemn expression: "What do you mean! We are in this huge mountain forest! Although it seems that a variety of flora and fauna are very stylish! But it's actually full of the dryad's nutrients and reproduction and split offspring? ”

"Bingo!" Mu Yuchen's thumb and index finger of his right hand made a crisp sound in the friction, and then he suddenly said:

But that's not the point! And that's just part of the dryad's action! Practically all the trees in this mountain forest! All affected by the millennium dryad! It goes through a complex network of roots underground! From a factual point of view, it reigns above the surface of this mountain! The accumulation of thousands of years! It's amazing art!
