In the early morning of the second day, after breakfast, Zhang Wen took Yao Yao and a logging team of more than a dozen people to the Iron Wood Forest.

This forest is actually not far from the base, which is why Zhang Wen decided to occupy this place, which can provide a steady stream of high-quality wood for the mine.

And, of course, to improve transportation.

Zhang Wen said to Yao Yao: "You help me write it down, and go back today and let Lao Yuan organize the newcomers to remove the grass on this road, and open up the nearest distance from the base to the Iron Wood Forest, and the requirement is to at least allow the wooden cart to pass." ”

This is treating me as a secretary!" Yao Yao gave him a blank look, but he still wrote it down carefully.

Zhang Wen stopped and stopped, constantly tapping the trees with his hands, and said to Yao Yao: "The growth age of ironwood is directly proportional to their hardness, the hardness of those who are too young is not enough, and the old ones are too hard, our saws can't deal with it, so we need to cut down those trees that are not big or small and have just come of age." ”

Yao Yao was a little interested, and asked curiously: "Then how do you look at the age of a tree? Look at their size and height? But it seems that these trees are all about the same." ”

The surrounding ironwoods do look pretty much the same, as if they don't grow anymore when they reach a certain height.

Zhang Wen showed a mysterious smile and said, "They will tell you themselves! Dumb, come here, you try this tree." ”

The latter sentence was addressed to a lumberjack.

This is a tall and strong young man, who looks very honest, and in fact he is really simple.

Yao Yao had heard his story, he was the first person to come to the other world to introduce himself to the Times real name, others laughed at him for being stupid and called him dumb, as for his real name, it has long been forgotten.

Dumb ran over and smiled innocently: "Boss, is it this tree?"

"Yes, you see if it's an adult. ”

Dumb nodded, ran to another tree, chopped off a branch with the axe at his waist, and then came over with the branch.

Yao Yao looked at him stupidly and reminded: "The boss is talking about this tree, not that one, you cut it wrong." ”

Dumb was stunned and said, "That's right, that's right, it's ...... It's this ......."

He didn't seem to have seen such a beautiful woman, and he blushed when he spoke, not daring to look at Yao Yao.

Zhang Wen said to Yao Yao: "Dumb is not mistaken, you just look at it." ”

I saw that the dumb man put down the branch, then took a strange-style saw from his back, and lightly sawed it twice on the tree that Zhang Wen pointed to.

The saw looked inconspicuous, and Dumb didn't use any force, just two strokes of the saw, sawing a deep mark on the trunk.

Yao Yao was a little surprised, looking at the saw blade carefully, it was like tiny teeth inlaid in wood, very rough, no matter how you look at it, it is not so powerful.

She had seen the hardness of ironwood. It shouldn't be so fragile.

Dumb sawed out the deep scar, and instead of continuing, he put the fresh branch from earlier in the deep scarf, just enough to get into it.

Yao Yao was surprised by his behavior, he couldn't see what this had to do with the age of the tree, and he was about to ask, when he saw that the contact between the branch and the deep scar suddenly changed, and the branch completely grew inside, and the interface turned into a big pimple knot.

She was dumbfounded, she knew that trees could be grafted, but it would take a long time, and it would never be possible to complete the process in an instant, and it would grow seamlessly, as if the branches had grown on this tree in the first place.

Dumb hehe smirked: "It's done, they're married......"

Zhang Wen said to him: "Dumb, mark this tree, and I will cut it down later." ”

This is why Yao Yao explained: "Dumb's method is the standard for judging whether Tiemu is an adult and not too old. It's a bit like humans, the branch is equivalent to the opposite sex, if they are too young, they don't know how to love and can't accept each other, if they are too old, they already have a weak heart, so only those adult trees can't wait to tolerate the branches and become one. ”

How can this be said a little aimei, Yao Yao's face turned red, and her eyes rolled wildly: "Hmph, it turns out that even a tree is not serious." ”

Zhang Wendao: "......"

Then, the group continued on, and soon came to the grass where the cannibal flowers were hidden.

"Is this here?" Zhang Wen asked.

Yao Yao was sure: "Yes, this is it, if it didn't run." ”

She was now confident in her memory, and as her mental attributes strengthened, so did her sense of three-dimensionality and orientation, and this place had formed a three-dimensional marker in her mind, which would never be confused with other similar terrains.

Zhang Wen explained a few words to the captain of the logging team, the old ghost, and the old ghost shouted out a few people, connected the sections of wooden sticks he was carrying, and quickly assembled them into several long hook sickles, with handles seven or eight meters long, to ensure safety.

Then they started mowing the grass in pairs with hook sickles, and soon cleared the outer weeds.

Suddenly, a huge bud peeked out from the depths of the grass, and in one bite it bit off the top of a scythe, causing the group to throw down the handle and run.

"What's the hell, bastard!" the old ghost scolded: "The others will focus on mowing this grass for me, but I want to see what the hell it is." ”

The hook sickle mowing grass is very fast, a few tools in one set, quickly cleared half of it, suddenly, another bud poked out and bit off a hook sickle.

However, this could not stop the fate of the grass, and soon the remaining Goscythe cleared the weeds, revealing the true face of the man-eating flower.

It is about two meters tall, with jagged leaves with dense eyes, and five huge flower buds on its head, and the stems supporting the flower buds are like five thick pythons writhing incessantly, which is very scary.

Zhang Wen waved his hand to let everyone stand back, and then he stepped forward alone to observe.

Yao Yao couldn't help but be a little concerned, and said loudly: "Hey, be careful." ”

Zhang Wen glanced back at her and nodded, just this stunned kung fu, the man-eating flower had seized the opportunity, and the two flower buds attacked left and right.

Almost no one could see Zhang Wen's movements clearly, he pulled out the rope around his waist, activated it instantly, and the rope suddenly came out of the hole like a spiritual snake, pumped on the stem of a flower bud, knocked it away, and then with the reaction force, it bounced back and bit on another flower bud.

The bud let out a terrible scream, and sharp teeth grew out of the head of the activation rope, and the bud bit out a large hole in one bite, and the dark red juice flowed out like a jet.

The two injured buds were hurriedly retracted, Zhang Wen saw the opportunity, shook his hand, and the activation rope went out to sea like a dragon, circled around the man-eating flower, and tied the five buds tightly together.

The countless eyes on the cannibal leaves glowed with hatred, staring at the enemy, and it still wanted to struggle, and a fire rose in front of it.

Under the surprised gaze of the cannibal flower, Yao Yao, the old ghost and others, Zhang Wen held a fireball in his hand and slowly formed, the fireball became bigger and bigger, and the temperature became higher and higher, until the fireball rose to about the size of a basketball and the color changed to crimson, and then it stopped changing.

The cannibal flower, which was originally struggling violently, seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and the flower stems hung down softly, and the eyes on the leaves also showed a sense of begging and pleading, no longer fierce.

Zhang Wen ordered: "Old ghost, take a few people to dig out its roots and bring them back to the base." ”

The old ghost scolded and singled out a few bold ones, and several people began to dig the pit in fear, but soon found that the man-eating flower should have been completely suppressed by the boss and did not resist at all, so he dug it up with great energy, digging more than a meter deep and more than five meters wide, before digging out all the roots of the man-eating flower.

Zhang Wen stretched out his hand and touched the bud of the largest man-eating flower, and said, "As long as you are obedient, I will spare your life." ”

He has the skill of animal domestication, and although this man-eating flower cannot yet determine whether it is an animal or a plant, he can use this skill to make it understand a little bit of what it means.

The man-eating flower was placed on a wooden cart, and the old ghost organized the people to start cutting wood.
