Chapter 155: Underground Origin
The end of summer is a special time when the leaves slowly fall and creatures begin to store food and hide, waiting for winter as it gets colder......
But in reality, they didn't.
Because the change of environment has led to different changes, many of the wood decomposed by fungi underground, and the huge amount of nutrients that accompany the torrential rain and the influx of seawater, the twisted trees grow wildly, and they charge in the direction of the desert with the flood rain, occupying the long-dry desert with their long, twisted root systems.
In just a few dozen days, the twisted tree can grow a tree nearly ten meters tall from the root system with a large amount of nutrients, and they spread towards the desert at this speed, the twisted tree and the rain turned the sand into mud, and many creatures followed the spread of the twisted tree and slowly began to live in the desert.
At the same time, in the direction of the peak, because the black mud in the ground seems to have flowed, the twisted trees began to spread towards the barren area around the peaks, these crazy plants seem to want to occupy a qiē thing, the only thing that has not been attacked is the canyon of the underground world, the twisted tree seems to be unable to directly absorb the seawater, but whenever the rainstorm floods the canyon, the twisted tree can absorb the nutrients in the seawater through the seawater that has been desalinated by the torrential rain.
At the same time, on the floating island, the homeside trees are also growing wildly, and these homestead trees also show Lin a wonderful thing, that is, the origin of the underground world, which is not even recorded by the Inca swarm......
After observing all summer long, Lynn finally learned about the situation.
The Homestead Tree blasted the exploding seeds into the dirt of the Floating Island, and the seedlings grew quickly. They look green and tender. and grows large leaves with fluff. Lynn found that they used this leaf to catch detritus in the air for food, as if it was due to the lack of nutrients in the soil of the floating island, but Lynn didn't think there was any food in the air so high, but they just grew this strange structure.
But Lynn only began to think so, and later Lynn discovered the meaning of the fluff.
The trunks of the homestay trees are quite straight, not in the slightest curve like twisted trees, but they grow in a strange direction, vertically downward.
That's right. They don't grow on top of the island, but down at the bottom of the island, where the light is usually dim and there is no direct sunlight, but they can also get some light energy, plus the absorption of the root system, and because the island is moving slowly, they will drop a lot of debris every time they move, and they rely on their huge leaves to capture the debris dropped by the island to increase nutrients.
Lynn has always wondered why they are so long and complicated, wouldn't it be better to grow directly on them to absorb sunlight? It wasn't until Lynn later found out why. One of the larger home trees has a sturdy wooden structure on its bark, and it has formed a downward cone-like shape. It also collects a large amount of sap at the tip of the end to increase its weight, and its bark also has a heat-resistant structure.
By a certain weight, usually more than a ton, these larger trees will break off their roots, and at the same time will break down their leaves, and fall from the floating islands, these falling cone-shaped trees will go straight into the mud, sometimes into the sand, some will hit the rocks and shatter, and Lynn also saw a tree directly pierce a passing beetle.
Although this beetle feels more pitiful, but the tree is also dead, it can no longer do any action on the ground, only the position of the fall is good, there is no shelter, and the soil is soft enough, the homeland tree can rely on the power of the sprint from a height of hundreds of meters into the ground to a depth of tens of meters or even hundreds of meters, after stabilizing dìng, the life of this homeland tree has just begun.
Homestead trees grow roots at both ends to absorb nutrients and grow small leaves, while their bark splits open and a group of small creatures appear inside.
These small creatures all glow, and Lynn found that they were identical to those glowing creatures on the roof of the caves in the underworld.
It seems that the Homeland Tree has formed a symbiotic relationship with them, they will live and breed around the Homeland Tree, the Homeland Tree will absorb some nutrients from the mud and provide it to these creatures, these creatures will also provide light energy to the Homeland Tree, and these creatures themselves will also go to the mud to find food.
Later, Lynn discovered that the seeds of the homestead tree contained the eggs of these creatures themselves.
Next, the homestead trees grew underground, and Lynn had only seen them, but they would obviously grow bigger and bigger underground, opening up a huge space, and the glowing creatures were attached to the top of the space to grow and grow their communities.
Lin didn't find the symbiotic relationship between the homecoming tree and the luminescent creatures in the underworld, maybe the glowing creatures had already multiplied a lot at that time, because they were all different species, they could form an ecosystem of their own, and they didn't need the homewood tree to provide energy, but they were still glowing, maintaining the light of the entire underworld......
Is this the origin of the underworld?
If a large number of homecoming trees are fully grown, they can indeed hold up a new world.
It's a wonderful feeling, how did they evolve such a system? However, it is true that this qiē of the homeland tree needs to rely on the 'moon' to achieve, and only the moon can fly high into the sky and penetrate into the ground.
However, Lynn has not yet seen any Homestead Tree that can penetrate so deep into the underworld, and it may be that the reason for being so deep has something to do with the Inca Swarm, and Lynn has seen the statues of them surrounding the small Homestead Tree.
But the homestead trees were deep enough at the moment that Lynn wanted to work out something special based on their structure, like a ground-drilling bomb or something.
In addition, Lin also found that the homestead tree seems to be afraid of direct sunlight, and if the small homestead tree is exposed to direct sunlight, it will die quickly, while the large homestead trees such as those in the canyon may die slowly although they have not found any problems so far, which can also explain the reason for the death of the homestead tree on the ground.
Lin wanted to see how the trees held up the earth, but another factor put the qiē on hold.
…… Winter.
After the last wild growth of the plants at the end of the summer, they also had to stop due to the cold temperatures, the clouds of the blizzard gathered in the air, and the white debris flew in the air, and this season of dormancy finally arrived.
Moreover, this is also the season when the Inca swarm is leaving. (To be continued......)
