Chapter 36: Xiaobai is in distress
Thorn grass has a very domineering attribute, that is, plunder. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The snow on the Ice and Snow Wasteland does not melt because the temperature rises, but because when the sun rises, the eyes shine on the thorn grass, which needs a lot of water.
In order to replenish water in the body, the thorn grass frantically absorbs the ice and snow, which causes the ice and snow to melt rapidly.
In fact, thorn grass not only plunders the water contained in the ice and snow, but also the water of other plants, which is why it is impossible to live in the ice and snow wasteland of Nuoda.
Of course, there are no absolutes, and there are indeed very few plants living on the ice and snow wasteland.
But they are more elixirs than plants.
Only a highly effective elixir can survive in the thorny and grassy ice and snow wasteland.
In fact, there is a reason why thorn grass preys on water.
Thorn grass can only live in very cold areas, and as long as there is sunlight, the water in the body of thorn grass will evaporate quickly.
If the thorn grass does not absorb enough water to store it, it will soon die completely.
In fact, if it weren't for the existence of thorn grass, this location would be an endless desert, and it would not be possible to snow at all.
It is precisely because of the rapid evaporation of water in the body of the thorn grass that this dry wasteland can gather water and snow.
The moisture and cold of the snow cover create good conditions for the survival of thorn grass, and the two can be said to complement each other.
"If humans and animals die, the roots of the thornweed will also penetrate their carcass and absorb the blood completely. ”
Luo Yun burped, looked at the slowly rising sun, and said quietly.
Huan often heard this, but he felt a chill down his spine.
At this time, as the thorn grass frantically absorbed the water contained in the snow, the originally thick snow began to gradually disappear.
Huan Chang looked at the thorny grass that was still verdant in the ice and snow, but his eyes were full of fear.
"Alright, it's time to pack your things and get ready to go!"
Luo Yun watched the snow gradually dissipate and the originally slightly damp ground began to become dry, so he immediately patted Xiao Hei's neck, hung the wine jug around his waist, and motioned Huan Chang to clean up the tent.
After the tents were packed, the icy wasteland became dry again, and the mountains were covered with verdant thorn grass.
"In the afternoon, a large patch of thorn grass dies, but at night when the snow covers the ground, the thorn grass grows wildly. ”
The two men and a donkey set out on the road again, looking for traces of the snow.
In the process of searching for the snow, Huan often sees many strange animals, each of which is very magical.
Although cattle and sheep do not eat thorn grass, there are always animals in the ice and snow wasteland that can make a living by devouring thorn grass.
This vegetarian animal, which feeds exclusively on thorn grass, is also an important factor in maintaining ecological balance.
Because if there are so many thorn grasses that they are overflowing, there is not enough water on the ice and snow wasteland to use them, and the thorn grass will become extinct sooner or later.
On the contrary, with a large number of herbivores that feed on thorn grass, thorn grass is able to control its population, although it grows wildly every night.
Because these herbivores not only devour thorn grass, but also devour the grass roots of thorn grass very much.
Without grassroots, no matter how tenacious the life of thorn grass is, it is impossible to continue to rise wildly.
There are many herbivores, as well as the endless thorn grass, and there is no shortage of large carnivorous beasts on the ice and snow wasteland.
The beasts on the Ice and Snow Wasteland are not only very large in size, but also very fierce in temperament.
Even those martial artists who have cultivated True Qi, if they are not careful, they are likely to be devoured by large meat eaters.
If you encounter a flock of birds of prey, even if you are a peak realm martial artist, you will feel tricky, and even the slightest carelessness will cost you your life.
"Stomp, stomp!"
In the center of the Ice and Snow Wasteland, a snow-white horse was galloping on the grass.
The horse was so fast that it almost turned into a streamer.
This horse is none other than Xiaobai, who has grown up slowly, but Xiaobai is very embarrassed now.
Xiaobai, who was originally as white as ivory, had a lot of blood on his body, and his big eyes, which were originally extremely clear, were also covered with bloodshot at this time.
Today's Xiaobai, all four hooves on the ground actually made a sound.
Although this looks terrifying, it is actually because Xiaobai is too tired to have a light gait like before.
"Whew!"
Behind Xiao Bai, more than a dozen sturdy silver wolves chased after him.
These silver wolves were all very large in size, and they ran as fast as lightning, and if there were Huns here, they would definitely be extremely shocked.
Because of these silver wolves, each of them is a different species of heaven and earth, and has the blood of the wolf king.
The northern steppe people worship the giant wolf, and the silver wolf is a well-deserved wolf king among the giant wolves, and is worshiped as a god by the Huns.
At ordinary times, even if you search the entire northern grassland, you can't see a few silver wolves.
But now, there are more than a dozen silver wolves chasing and killing Xiao Bai, this situation is simply appalling, and Xiao Bai can still be alive under the pursuit of so many silver wolves, it is also a little incredible.
It is important to know that the reason why silver wolves are called wolf kings is not only because of their huge size and very graceful streamlining.
The most important thing is that the silver wolf is very strong in combat and extremely fast, and it is the existence at the top of the food chain in the grassland.
Even if it is a prairie lion, when it encounters a silver wolf, there will be death and no life, they are the real uncrowned kings of the grassland.
But now, more than a dozen silver wolves chased and killed Xiaobai, but they still failed to kill the other party, if there were grassland people here, their faith would definitely collapse.
"Whew!"
The silver wolf turned into a white streamer, roaring like a giant thunder in the sky.
The predators on the Ice and Snow Wasteland trembled with fear when they heard the roar of the silver wolf, and then quickly fled into the distance.
Because these predators can hear the boundless anger in the howl of the silver wolf.
Out of the instinct of wild beasts, these predators can also feel a great threat, so they flee in a hurry.
"Stomp, stomp!"
Hearing the roar of the silver wolf behind him, Xiao Bai's bloodshot eyes also showed strong fear, and his running speed was a little faster.
However, Xiaobai has been chased by the silver wolf for a long time, and he is already a little exhausted, and in the case of speeding up, he can't control the lightness of his body, and the footsteps are much worse again.
"Poof!"
Xiaobai had just run out not long ago, and suddenly his front hooves stepped on the air.
If it is changed to normal time, even if he runs on a rugged mountain road, Xiaobai can walk on the ground as usual.
But now, Xiaobai was so tired that he actually stumbled on his horse's front hooves, causing his whole body to fall to the ground.
"Whew!"
When those silver wolves saw Xiaobai falling, they immediately howled excitedly, and quickly approached Xiaobai, with a fierce light flashing in their eyes. (To be continued.) )
