Seeing the shock on Mei Aoxue's face, Wang Yuetian couldn't help but smile slightly, and he continued to say softly

"Senior Sister Mei, as I said just now, this Leizhou realm is shaking and falling rocks are rain.

For tens of millions of years, these vegetation in Leizhou have withstood countless rounds of stone rain baptism, and have already evolved a special ability. ”

"Special skills?"

"Yes, I don't know if Senior Sister Mei has noticed, in the previous rounds of stone rain, on this forest sea, although almost all the trees were hit by this round of deadly stone rain and were covered with scaly wounds, there were very few trees that were really interrupted by the waist. ”

Hearing Wang Yuetian say this, Mei Aoxue was stunned again, because she found that as Wang Yuetian said, there were indeed very few trees on this road that were really interrupted by the waist.

Seeing the slight changes between Mei Aoxue's eyebrows, Wang Yuetian continued

"The vegetation of this Leizhou realm is very different from the outside world, and when I was first introduced to this Leizhou realm, I was also amazed by the strange shape of the vegetation in the Leizhou realm. But at that time, I didn't have to look closely at the vegetation because I had to avoid the stone rain.

It wasn't until I had dodged the first round of stone rain that I stumbled upon the tiny fragments of thunderstone that were written in the sap of vegetation with the eye of the sky.

Taking advantage of the gap before the next round of stone rain began, I used the Nether Soul Hook Blade to cut open a thousand-year-old tree. Within the outer bark of the ancient tree, I found a thunderstone fragment the size of a goose egg, which had been completely embedded in the plasma of the ancient tree!

It was only then that I fully understood how these vegetation in the Leizhou Realm had survived in such a harsh environment!"

Hearing Wang Yuetian say this, Mei Aoxue immediately asked

"Don't sell off, if you have anything to say, just say it all at once. ”

Feeling that Mei Aoxue's hand in his palm was no longer struggling, Wang Yuetian knew that Mei Aoxue at this time had been attracted by what he had just talked about. Just when he was about to make persistent efforts, he heard Mei Aoxue ask again:

"Also, what is the xylem you just mentioned?"

Hearing Mei Aoxue ask such a question, Wang Yuetian's heart moved, and he almost forgot that the person in front of him and himself were not from the same world.

After a little groaning, Wang Yuetian spoke to Mei Aoxue again

"The word xylem is something I saw in a book in the Snow Sea Building. In that miscellaneous volume, it was recorded that the trunk of a tree can be simply divided into three parts: phloem, cambium, and xylem.

The phloem, you can simply understand the bark, and the cambium and xylem are the trunk.

Among them, the main role of the xylem is responsible for transporting water and nutrients to each part of the trunk, and the xylem itself constitutes the main structure of the trunk.

Over time, the old xylem will gradually die and lose its transport function, and at this time, the cambium that plays a continuous meristem will continue to transform and generate new xylem, thus maintaining the needs of the tree itself for nutrient transportation.

The growth rings in the trunk that we usually see are a special phenomenon caused by the change in the rate at which the cambium layer is converted into xylem due to seasonal temperatures. ”

Hearing this peculiar description of the structure of the trees, Mei Aoxue's gaze at Wang Yuetian began to change slightly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, and at the same time a hint of suspicion. Instinctively, she opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Wang Yuetian saw that Mei Aoxue once again appeared in this contradictory state of self-esteem, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and then continued:

"Senior Sister Mei, the reason why you and I are now able to hide from the deadly stone rain outside in this hollow tree is also because the cambium layer of the tree is constantly transforming into xylem.

In fact, in this world, a considerable number of ancient trees are in a hollow state. For those ancient trees that have survived for thousands of years, or even 10,000 years, the more xylem the central part is older. As I have already said, the xylem in these central parts has long since lost its role as a transporter of water and nutrients, and at most it has only played a supporting role, nothing more.

In this case, it is better to supply the limited resources to the viable new cells, and to provide enough nutrients to the new xylem by abandoning the old xylem in the center of the trunk.

Personally, I estimate that at the beginning, the appearance of the vegetation in Leizhou Territory may not be what we see in front of us.

It's just that in the process of thunder stone baptism in the past tens of millions of years, countless thunderstone fragments fell from the sky and penetrated deeply into the vegetation all over the mountains.

Those vegetation that is too weak to withstand severe damage is washed by the first round of stone rain and first provides nutrients to nourish other plants. Another part of the plants that could not deal with the toxicity of the thunderstone fragments in time also dried up and died soon after.

In the end, only those plants with tenacious vitality and were able to completely dispose of the thunderstone in their bodies in various ways survived.

And those plants that survived the survival of the fittest and successfully solved the side effects of thunderstone in their bodies are these strange Leizhou Realm green overlords in front of us!!"

Hearing Wang Yuetian say this, Mei Aoxue suddenly said with a slight change in her face

"You mean, all the fluorescent blue-purple dots of light on the trees around here... ”

"Senior sister, you're right.

I told you before that the vegetation of this Leizhou realm has learned a skill under the erosion of thousands of years of stone rain, and I call this skill: Thunder Devouring!!"
