Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Pisces dwarves led Jacqueline and her group through a wooded landscape that was the same lush green wonder they had seen in the distance.
Chu Shou had finished his transformation at this time, hiding in Jacqueline's breast pocket in the form of a tentacle monster, it was warm and comfortable here, there were no terrible ghosts, it was much better than in the summoning space!
The little tentacle monster poked its bare head out from between Jacqueline's collar, watching curiously.
This unknown forest surprised Chu Shou. It was expected that such a forest would be densely populated with trees like any other forest, but the reality is very different from what was expected.
In the woods, the distance between each tree was staggeringly large, and after Chu Shou's rough estimate, he thought that on average, the space between trees was enough to form an open space the size of a basketball court.
The trunks of these trees were very tall, but incredibly soft, and when Nibin showed them to Jacqueline, he could leave a groove in the trunk with just a touch of his hand. In fact, the reason is very simple, in order to resist the cold, the outer bark of this tree has evolved into a form filled with thick flocculents, like cotton clothing, so that the trunk of the tree is kept at a certain constant temperature.
In addition, Jacqueline also found that the bark of many trees was eaten by something, causing small wounds one by one.
The leaves of the tree grow high at the top, forming a canopy that is densely distributed against the trunk of a tree like a typical boreal tree, which minimizes damage caused by snowstorms and snow. However, because the trees grow so big, the canopy of the trees is very large even if they are concentrated, and the forest formed by countless such trees naturally looks verdant and not evacuated at all.
The leaves have a needle-like structure, which is effective in improving protection from cold and photosynthesis as much as possible, much like pine trees.
Wait! Hansen, the elder who led the way, seemed to sense something, and made a silent motion. Signal everyone to stop.
Did you find it?, a young dwarven beside Hansen asked cautiously.
Yes, it should be not far ahead.
Excuse me, what the hell are you going to show us?" Colleen asked in a whisper as she froze and couldn't stand it anymore.
The environment here is much better than the rest of Enns, there is no smoke and fog, and outsiders can breathe freely without masks, but the only fly in the ointment is that it is also colder here than in other parts of Enns, and Colleen, who can't stand the cold, is outdoors and her lips are frozen purple. She wished she could go back to the house and make a fire.
You'll find out later. Hansen replied in a low voice.
The Pisces dwarves, under the orders of the elders, set out to search everywhere and received information in a short time.
Led by the scouts, the dwarves led Jacqueline and the group cautiously to a corner of the forest, stopping at a tree, using the wide trunk as shelter and looking out into the open field in the distance.
Huge antlers, crystal clear and beautiful - Colleen almost cried out at the sight of this: Arctic stag!
Fortunately, Nibin, who was on the sidelines, knew that outsiders would react like this. Hurriedly tugged at the corner of Colleen's clothes so that she didn't shout too loudly.
Still, the slight sound alerted the stag, which raised its head. Look around vigilantly.
Jacqueline and Chu Shou also saw this creature for the first time in their lives.
Chu Shou's first impression of the Arctic stag was learned from the luxury goods of the Po Te family -- such a large antler is rare on earth, so what would an Arctic stag with such a pair of antlers look like? At that time, Chu Shou also wanted to know, and today he finally saw it.
This Arctic stag was far larger than all the cervids that Chu Shou had seen on TV before. The white fur is covered in a single body, without a trace of patches. Combined with the fantastic huge and beautiful antlers, one can feel that this creature exudes a sacred and majestic radiance.
appeared in everyone's field of vision. There is more than one Arctic deer, the Arctic deer are collective creatures, they all appear in groups, this stag is the leader of the group, and the little movement of Colleen just now has aroused its alarm, and it is raising its head at this time, looking around to observe the surrounding movements.
The other Arctic deer were also affected by the leader, stopped their activities, and also looked around in fear.
The elder knew how to get along with the Arctic deer, and he motioned for everyone not to poke their heads out yet, but to hide behind the trees and wait patiently.
These strange trees were so large that even the Pisces dwarves and Jacqueline's group, which numbered more than twenty people, could be completely hidden behind the trees, and their location was against the wind, so the Arctic deer did not notice anything after observing them for a long time, so they continued their activities.
When the situation stabilized, Jacqueline, with Hansen's permission, probed to observe the Arctic deer again.
The herd is not very large, about twenty of them, resting next to a tree, and many Arctic deer are gnawing on the bark.
Jacqueline only then understood why she had seen many trees gnawed off pieces of bark by some unknown animal, which turned out to be the work of these Arctic deer.
Although the fur of this group of arctic deer is as white as snow, the antlers are not as large as the leader, and many of them are obviously doe, with almost no horns on their heads.
In addition to the leader stag, several fawns stand out in the group, who seem to have just been born and are gathering around their respective mothers in search of milk. There was a mother deer who was eating, probably hurt by the child, and couldn't help but run away, so the whole deer herd made a slight commotion.
That's what you're bringing us here to see?" Colleen was so cold that she couldn't bear it, and she shivered and asked Hansen a question.
The tone of the sentence was a little high, and it disturbed the resting deer, and the timid creatures fled and disappeared at once.
Yes. Hansen replied calmly.
I don't understand the meaning of this, Colleen was a little angry, but she was polite.
How would you feel if I told you that this herd of Arctic deer was the largest we had ever found, and that there were only sixteen Arctic deer left?" Hansen asked rhetorically.
What does this have to do with what we're talking about? Colleen really didn't know what the other party was planning to do, and even thought that the other party was trying to raise the selling price.
However, Han Sen's words had something else in Chu Shou's ears.
Sixteen deer herds, even if there are twenty in each herd, there are only three hundred and twenty Arctic deer, this situation on the earth, the Arctic deer can be said to be extremely endangered, and there is a danger of extinction at any time.
Unfortunately, the human society in this other world is too harmonious, the demand for nature is not so high, the natural environment is well maintained, and the species are still very rich, so human beings have no concept of endangered animals and plants.
Therefore, Colleen didn't feel anything wrong when she heard the dwarf's words, only Chu Shou, a pervert from the earth, understood the dwarf's words.
It's terrible, one of the most powerful organizations on the planet is the environmental protection organization, and in addition to having a large number of supporters, their combat effectiveness is also explosive.
Once this kind of people become nail households, it will be a very headache nail.
Of course, Chu Shou is not disgusted with environmentalists, after all, there is only one earth for human beings, and a group of politicians shouting about environmental protection have broken the sky but have done nothing, so someone always needs to stand up and supervise. Except for extreme environmentalists, Chu Shou has no prejudices against these people, and even has a good impression.
Chu Shou knew the danger of his own thinking, once he regarded the other party's thinking as a righteous act, it would be easy to lose the negotiation, but as an earthling, Chu Shou had to think that the other party's thinking was very correct and far-sighted.
Therefore, the nail household represented by Han Sen is the most difficult nail household that Chu Shou has ever seen.
The Arctic deer feeds on the bark of this winter green tree, and the seeds of the winter green tree can only germinate in the dung of the Arctic deer, and the two are symbiotic and indispensable, this winter green forest is the last winter green forest in the entire Arctic, once destroyed, the winter green tree and the Arctic deer will completely disappear from this world. Hansen's face was heavy, and he said, "You are aware of the danger of our dwarves to nature, and in my short life, I have seen many winter green forests disappear under the dwarves' shovels...... So, we can't move out! (To be continued......)
