142 142 The Jungle in the Desert (1/2)

'boom……'

A deep vibrating sound came from the ground. It seemed that Lin had heard it before. Lin planned to ignore it first because Lin was more interested in this jungle of vine ferns.

The shredders slammed through the vine ferns with their cone angles, while slowly moving through this fast-growing woodland.

The forest is full of moist breath, and the cry of small creatures. The vine fern is more than 30 centimeters thick, and the whole is very long. It grows about ten meters up on the sand distortedly because it is quite dense. Lin studied it with the shredder, and they advanced by the angle of the cone that could pop out while breaking off the dense ferns.

The pilot flew above the jungle of vine ferns, leading the way for the crushers. The place Lin was going to was in the deeper desert, where almost the tallest vine fern was about fifteen meters, and here it was closer to the twisted jungle Where the vine fern is only about ten meters.

Lin speculates what is hiding in the desert floor, plus a lot of water, these vine ferns grow explosively, and their seeds may have been hidden here long ago.

Speaking of seeds, seeds are also a fairly powerful evolution. Plants have evolved specifically to protect their pups. The outer shell is usually quite hard, and the internal cells can also be stored for a long time, which can usually be calculated in a hundred years.

Lin originally thought that only twisted trees would have this kind of high-hardness, long-lived seeds, and it might have ferns.

Although the vine fern is fragile and fragile, it has a strong characteristic. They will extend their appendages to wrap up the broken parts, and then slowly decompose and absorb them, without waste.

Plants are relatively simple compared to animal cells, and there are few types, but they are quite powerful in terms of survival and competition. This makes Lin feel that it is not more complicated and stronger, even if it is simple, it can easily compete with complexity.

The leading shredder walked for a while, and Lynn reached the deep part of the vine fern bush, which was covered with large vine ferns. Now, the shredders began to dig down at the roots of some of the largest vine ferns.

The roots of the vine ferns seem to be buried quite deep, and the crusher digs quickly, but until Lyn let them dig more than five meters, it is still impossible to judge how deep the vine ferns are, and their roots are deeply rooted in the sand Among them, but also entangled.

Lin adopted a new method to allow the pilot to inject tiny explorers on the skin of the vine fern to observe the cellular activity in the vine fern.

The explorer swims inside the vine fern and observes the cells inside. When it enters, it is attacked by a large number of immune responses. Some cells will produce a large amount of toxins, but this is of no use to the explorer, Lin Can slowly study the cells inside.

... seems quite strange.

Lin found that the cells of the vine fern are very strange. Generally, the cells of animals and plants are very different. However, the vine fern is not like a plant, and part of it is very like an animal.

The speed of nutrient transfer is quite fast, and the splitting speed is also very fast, which is one of the reasons for the rapid growth.

However, although the cells of the vine fern are strange, the types of cells are still as few as those of plants. It seems that the vine fern is a very special creature.

Perhaps further research is needed to see their growth status. They can surge so much in a short period of time. There must be any special method. Lin also wants to master this method, which will definitely help in the future.

In this case, you must get the seeds of the vine fern to see its growth process.

It seems that we must continue to dig.

However, when Lin planned to continue, she suddenly felt the vibration of the ground again ...

This feeling ... is really familiar.

Lin was planning to listen carefully, but its hearing was soon replaced by another sound.

It was a loud roar, seeming to be a cry made by a creature with a sound capsule.

These fast-growing vine ferns attract a lot of creatures, but most of them are small creatures less than half a meter away, and this sound seems to represent a huge creature, and it is ... approaching!

From the field of vision of a shredder digging at the edge of the group, Lin saw the vine fern in front of him suddenly shake, a pair of one-meter-long, jaws covered with serrations rushed out from it, and instantly caught the shredder Head.

Following this, the pair of jaws pulled the crusher back, but at this time the cone angle of the crusher had popped out, hitting hard on the serrations on the inside of the jaw.

'Click'

Cracks appeared on the slammed teeth, and the jaws suddenly loosened and retracted into the vine fern.

The crusher chased after victory, Lynn let them quickly break away the fern bush in front, and rushed to the place where the big jaw retracted.

After running for about ten meters, Lin found that she had reached a relatively empty area, where the vine fern was cut flat, and in the center of the open space was the creature that just attacked.

The creature ”Saw Sickle” is quite familiar with it. I have seen it many times in the twisted jungle. It is a large beetle with a pair of long jaws and a head of about three meters. It seems to have dug a vacant place here. , Probably to occupy the site or something.
