Chapter 520: Human Oil Lamps and Candles
Before the words fell, the peacock's long fingers stretched forward like a blade, and then, a silver silk knife cut through the darkness, shining and stabbing these vines, they were like a great enemy, like a yellow eel drilling tofu and constantly tightening the silk knife.
The result can be imagined, the tighter it is entangled, the more the body is cut off, like a broken cucumber falling to the ground, Ren Peacock took the opportunity to urge his wrist to withdraw the silk knife, and pulled back the broken vine, which helped Yue Guanchao a big favor.
After landing, Yue Guanchao and they carefully observed the cross-section of the thorny vine, the things inside are really completely different from ordinary plants, although the vine body that appears in the cross-section is a plant, but it can clearly see the intestines, blood vessels, stomach pouch and other fine digestive organs, as if a small organ is stuffed in the body of the plant, it looks extremely discordant, but it is real, which makes people gasp.
Fortunately, he still knows how to explore the way first, if many people are stupid enough to rush in, won't they be treated as a dish!
Just now, Song Siyuan's speculation about the thorn vine was only theoretical, and now that everyone saw this thing in front of them, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"The world is so big, there are really no surprises!"
When Yue Qingshan saw these things, even if he was as bold as him, he muttered in his heart.
Yue Guanchao has experienced so many dangerous tombs, this kind of thing is already commonplace, at least these things can only stop in place, if they can run like the corpse flower demon ginseng in Witch Coffin Town, it will be even more troublesome.
"Sister, then this vine, is it a plant or an animal!"
Ren Peacock saw that the broken vine had been beating like a headless snake, and swallowed in disgust.
Song Siyuan took a photo and explained in a serious tone: "I still say the same thing, there is no way to classify according to the existing animal and plant classes, the world's earliest species classification is only two or three white years, and the classification is also common species in the world, the ancestor of this plant is likely to exist billions of years ago before the differentiation of animals and plants." ”
"In the era when they appeared, there was no pure distinction between animals and plants, they not only retained the external vegetative organs of plants, but also had the digestive system of animals, after all, this species is a transitional species of animal and plant differentiation, the organs are very primitive, and there are no particularly complex organ internal organs."
Song Siyuan kept searching in her mind for species that still exist in modern times, looked at everyone and explained:
"I feel that this thing is the same as corals and starfish, it looks like a plant but is actually an animal, they look like a plant, and they have simple digestive organs in their bodies that can hunt prey and digest nutrients."
"In general, this is the early emergence of species on Earth, and the era in which they lived was at the crossroads of the evolution of plants and animals, either becoming animals such as starfish corals or completely degenerating into plants. It is likely that the geological environment here is so special that the external environment is no longer suitable for the survival of their species, but they have been able to survive and gradually evolve into their current situation. ”
After finishing speaking, Song Siyuan took a flashlight and approached the broken vine: "Now it seems that these spikes are not flower bones, but the mouthparts differentiated by plants, which are connected to the internal organs and can hunt small insects or plants." ”
Yue Ercang kicked this thing, and the slimy green juice covered the ground: "We don't care what this thing is, stop in front of the hole, so how can we get over?" Let this thing lose half a life. ”
"If the calf leads the way right, then we have to walk through the thorn vine into the cave mountain, and we have to find a way to wade through the aisle! Tell me Uncle Tang, there are such ghosts in the cave without squeaking. ”
Before Yue Guanchao's words fell, Song Siyuan hurriedly grabbed his arm, and said with a different color flashing in his eyes: "Not necessarily, Uncle Tang said that these caves are completely impassable at other times, I used to think that they were closed by some soil layer, but now it seems that it is the thorn vine that closes these caves." ”
"In this way, the description of the human smell on the body to enter the cave mountain is completely valid, these things may be very sensitive to living creatures, and if you want to pass from here, you can only turn yourself into dead things, or disturb their senses, so that they can make mistakes in identification, and they can pass safely."
"Give me the oil lamp!"
Seeing this, Yue Guanchao took out one of the human oil lamp tubes and lit the flame with a fire fold, and as the wick was lit, the human oil shone brightly, constantly volatilizing a unique smell.
Click! Streaming down! Crash!
Thorn vines are really sensitive to human oil, once the smoke drifts into the vines, these thorny vines immediately become active, like a snake walking through, raising the thorn bud mouthparts in the air and constantly churning, in the process inevitably hurt the innocent, biting the same kind of rattan to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Song Siyuan looked at everyone excitedly: "This opera plant captures living creatures by smell, and the smell of human oil condenses thousands of people, for them it is like suddenly thousands of living creatures entering the vines, this illusion will make the thorny vines become active from sleep, and bite the same kind as living creatures." ”
"Let's light up the rest of the lamps!"
Yue Guanchao knew that it was all about the lamp tubes to solve the thorn vines, so he and Xu Xiake took out all the lamp tubes and lit them all with fire folds.
When the flame of the lamp tube stabilizes, the firelight instantly illuminates the cave, and the human face becomes dim and hot, as if guarding the furnace!
In addition to human oil, there are also a lot of medicinal materials boiled by Uncle Tang, and now the five lights are all lit, and the medicinal gas quickly becomes thicker with the burning of human oil, and the smoke is surging and wafting into the vines.
