Chapter 196: Inland Strangeness (1st Update)
Due to the unique geographical environment and climatic environment of the continent on the March Star, most of the plants here are bare-roded, with leaves and needle-shaped leaves.
In the coastal areas, there is a half-year windy season, and there is no way for large leaves to survive, and of course there are large foliage plants, but the leaves are crawling on the ground.
Anyway, to the naked eye, it looks like there are no leaves, and it's all bare tree trunks.
The inland area is the arid Gobi Desert, where many cactus-like things grow, but these cacti are the size of a car, seven or eight meters in diameter, and five or six meters in height.
This cactus is full of crawlies, because the wind season is coming, a lot of debris that is blown up will be nailed by the thorns of this cactus, and then accumulate over time, forming a covering layer on the surface of these cactus.
Every giant cactus is a world of reptiles, with ants, but this ant has the poisonous needle of the same wasp on the earth.
There is also a kind of beetle, the beetle is the size of a fist, two large black pincers, and Yang Bo drools when he sees it.
"I wonder if this big tongs taste beautiful?" This large black beetle also has spikes on its back.
It's good inside the Red Rock Mountains, there are clouds and fog in the canyon in the morning, Yang Bo flies very fast with anti-gravity, and crosses the 500 km wide Red Rock Mountains in half a day, which is still because the canyons are not connected.
The clouds in this redstone mountain range also have a role in interfering detection.
When I came to the endless Gobi, there was no way to go inside the Gobi, and it was difficult to hide without a single cloud.
Yang Bo came here incognito, looked at the surrounding environment, this is where gerbils live.
However, gerbils operate at night, so Yang Bo decided to take a look around first.
After carefully observing the beetle for two minutes, it was found that the beetle had no energy.
Yang Bo found that he could see the energy changes of objects, and he didn't know which superpower was affecting it, or if it was the reason for his own physique.
Letting go of this pitch-black beetle, Yang Bo looked at it carefully, this was a lizard more than ten centimeters long, the whole lizard was black and yellow, and there were spikes on its body similar to those of stone fish on the earth.
Usually, the spikes on this guy's body are flat, and once there is any wind and grass, they will be set up immediately, and on the spikes, you can also see secreting transparent venom.
"There are no energy fluctuations." After a closer look, there are still no energy fluctuations.
Yang Bo came to see it with a fluke mentality this time, after all, there are mutated creatures in the sea, and I don't know if there are any in this inland area.
During the day, the Gobi looked extremely desolate, and Yang Bo observed a lot of reptiles on the side of a cactus.
There are also some shrubs here, but they look like camel grass creeping on the ground, and the whole thing looks like a bush without leaves, but it is covered with thorns.
The shrub is one or two meters tall and dozens of centimeters short, and even this shrub has red and white trumpet-like flowers.
Finally waited until evening, Yang Bo found that the Gobi was lively, and a black snake, I don't know where to crawl out, wandering in this Gobi.
A pangolin-like creature emerges from a patch of sand, shakes its little head twice, and then comes out in a group of twos and threes.
"Hey, there's a faint energy fluctuation?" Yang Bo looked at these unknown creatures that were smaller than the pangolins on the earth, and their bodies actually had a faint energy, although it was very light, but after all, it had energy.
Yang Bo was a little unconvinced, and after a closer look, he found that there were 11 of these small animals in this group, only three of them had faint energy fluctuations, and the rest were none.
Yang Bo is not surprised at all, because in the group on the Iron Bull side, there are rhinoceros of all kinds, Tie Niu and his brother are the two highest levels, and some are ordinary rhinoceros.
"It feels like human society, after birth, some talents are high and some are low, so what affects these talents? Is it genetics or something else? Yang Bo observed carefully for a while, and he also had some doubts in his heart.
The fat boss said that the parents are advanced genetic evolutionaries, but the children have no talent.
And if the parents are not talented, some children are not talented, which is why there are still fertility factories in society now.
Some children who have been cultured from embryos from the same parents' sperm and egg are also completely different.
"I don't understand!" Yang Bo thought about the mystery of life for a while, and then put this thought away.
Yang Bo came to the bottom of a stone, this side is a big stone, because the wind often blows on one side, so a large area is suspended under the big stone.
Yang Bo chose this environment, and he was also preparing to do an experiment, but yesterday he didn't heat up the saliva of the iron cow, which turned from transparent to red.
Is this red color poisonous, or does it have some other effect? Yang Bo is going to test it with the animals here.
Yang Bo came to the bottom of this big stone to avoid the reconnaissance of the satellites in the sky.
These suspected pangolin animals actually ate those beetles, and more than a dozen of these animals ran back and forth on the Gobi, chasing the beetles.
These animals, which are suspected to be pangolins, vigorously plow the soil and flood the beetles with sand, and while these beetles are struggling in the sand, they go up and press them with one paw, and then bite off a pincer and eat it.
The scorpion-like stinger on the beetle's tail had no way of penetrating the scales of the pangolin-like animal's claws.
A beetle went under the rocks, looked at the pangolins that had caught up, and raised two large pincers, which made a clicking sound.
It was two large pincers that quickly clamped, and this animal that was suspected of being a pangolin watched as the big beetle stretched out its claws and hit the beetle.
Then the pangolin seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force in the next second, and then a box on the stone wall on the side of the stone opened, and a silver needle appeared, which was suspended and came to the pangolin's side, and the needle was pierced.
This is Yang Bo's stealth state, experimenting on this little animal.
Because Yang Bo didn't use other abilities this time, he just used his own power, so the stealth state was not lifted.
Inside the syringe is a tiny amount of red liquid, which is injected into the animal's body.
Seeing this strange scene, the big beetle waved its pincers and fled as it recoiled.
After the little animal was injected with red liquid, after a few seconds, the entire small animal's body began to swell, and the color of the scales on the body also deepened, and the strength of the body seemed to increase, and it struggled frantically.
The other small animals in the distance saw this scene and stood from afar to watch.
"Is it mutated?" Yang Bo was puzzled, but after a closer look, he didn't see any energy fluctuations.
Energy particles can be seen in the field of vision, and this ability seems to be a passive ability, and you don't need to use your own energy to see energy particles.
After a minute, the creature was completely lifeless, bleeding from its mouth and nose.
"Berserk? Or is it too much energy? The stealthy Yang Bo was also a little surprised to see this result.
"It seems that this red liquid is a bit dangerous, but I don't know much about biological research, and I don't have any observation equipment."
"There is no such small animal, and all kinds of data comparison before and after." Yang Bo doesn't plan to test it, this time he used this to test, mainly to see if it was poisonous.
Now it doesn't look like poisoning, but like a state of madness, or a feeling of losing your mind supported by energy.
Yang Bo's body was revealed, and his hands released powerful electrical energy, directly roasting the little animal into charcoal.
Because Yang Bo was not sure if the carcass of this little animal was placed here, would it be eaten by other animals and cause unnecessary trouble?
Yang Bo glanced at several boxes placed on the stone wall again, one of them was to prepare the syringe just now, put the syringe back, and the other boxes were prepared to close the gerbil.
Yang Bo's body was revealed just now, and the small animals around him all ran away, but these small animals were observing this two-legged monster from a distance.
Yang Bo walked around the stone and found the trace of gerbils in the distance.
Gerbils are very timid by nature, so they live in relatively empty areas.
The gerbil looks a bit like a larger version of the pika, but the gadget has sharp claws and is very fast when digging into the earth.
Yang Bo still likes this relatively normal little animal.
A few gerbils were gnawing on the skin of the thorny shrub.
The gerbil feeds mainly on rainfall during the windy season, and the whole Gobi will appear green.
When the windy season comes, it will bring a small amount of rain, and this small amount of rain will give rise to some and many plants, and the life of these plants is very short, the shortest is only five or six days, from germination to flowering and fruiting.
The longest is a month or two, especially the kind of bush full of thorns, the seeds are very numerous, very small.
Gerbils are spinning around the rocks in the Gobi, because the temperature is very low at night, and some of these stones condense into small droplets of water, which gerbils rely on to survive this difficult dry season.
The two gerbils smelled a different smell, and as soon as they came over, they were suddenly grabbed by an invisible force, and the two small things let out a piercing scream, and the gerbils in other places heard this sound, and instantly brought up a puff of smoke and dust, and rushed into their nests.
"There was actually a male one, and he also took it home for experiments." The invisible Yang Bo looked at the gender of the two gerbils.
The two gerbils screamed like this, and were thrown into two boxes under the big rocks.
Looking at the other gerbils who had run away, Yang Bo was a little speechless.
After waiting for more than two hours, the two gerbils had just probed their brains out of the other exit, and they were directly pinched and carried away by the invisible force.
This time he was pinched his head, and the gerbil couldn't scream.
The gerbils inside the nest thought it was safe to go outside.
In a moment, two more heads were imprisoned by an invisible force, moved under the large rock, and were stuffed into two boxes according to their gender.
"This one looks like it has cubs, let's release it." The third time, Yang Bo looked at the belly of a gerbil, as if he was breastfeeding, and let this go.
"Let's go back, this Gobi is a little too conspicuous, go back to the Redstone Mountains and see if there are any good things." Seven gerbils were caught, four females and three males.
Yang Bo collected some plants from this place, mainly because he was afraid that gerbils would not be easy to raise after they arrived at home.
After all, plants in semi-arid areas have very little water content, and if you rashly feed vegetables and fruits to humans, it may cause these little things to react abnormally.
The mecha was released, and then Yang Bo put the prepared box into the mecha's storage box, and then put the mecha away again.
Stealth walked back, this place is about 600 kilometers from home, and the Red Rock Mountains can be seen in the distance.
Yang Bo in a stealth state just can't use other superpowers, and passive ones can be used.
In less than an hour, Yang Bo arrived at the Red Rock Mountains, the mountains of the Red Rock Mountains are very distinctive, one side is smooth, and the other side is green with shrubs and trees.
On the slippery side, it faces the sea, and when the wind comes, the wind blows through it, and all of them are hard red stones.
And because the Redstone Mountains are relatively high, there are streams and water.
There are more than 1,900 species of flora and fauna in the Redstone Mountains, of which there are more than 600 species of plants, and the rest are animals, including reptiles.
There are more than 60 kinds of fungi in the plant, and Yang Bo came for the fungi.
Because when Yang Bo looked at the official website, some mushrooms looked delicious.
When he came, Yang Bo didn't search carefully in this Red Stone Mountain Range, and now that the task is complete, he went back to study and study with some strange things.
Soon in the valley at the foot of the mountain, Yang Bo found a fungus, this kind of fungus was like a piece of dough, the whole color was black and brown, prostrate on the ground.
The large one has a diameter of half a meter, and the small one has a diameter of more than a dozen centimeters or several centimeters.
This dough is the same as his surface part, and there are spherical roots underneath it.
After Yang Bo appeared, he first snapped his fingers, and there was nothing abnormal around, and he began to dig.
Because the other side of the mountain is blown by strong winds every year, countless dust falls on the back of the mountain, so every year during the wind season, the surface of this fungus will be covered with dust, and then it will rot, and after the wind season, new ones will grow from the bulbous rhizomes below.
"There's a faint amount of energy?" Yang Bo dug a full 50 centimeters deep before he saw an irregular rhizome the size of a football, and to Yang Bo's surprise, this spherical foundation actually had a faint energy.
"I really just want to dig it back and eat it." Yang Bo really didn't expect this kind of accident.
"Why doesn't the official website of the March Star introduce the energy contained in this fungus? Or is it undetectable by existing means? Or is it a big special one? Yang Bo had some doubts in his heart.
"I don't know if the land in this Red Rock Mountain is for sale." Yang Bo quickly thought of another possibility, that is, there might be an energy mine under this place.
