But the wild snake heard the sound of the car and ran over through the sand.
Xu Jingsi took out his gun and wanted to aim at the snake head. But the sand was too big to see clearly. Suddenly I felt the car tilt up. It turned out that a wild snake passed through below and pushed up the rear of the car with its head. The gun almost fell out, but luckily it was tied with a belt.
Based on the sound of the car, the wild snake rushed over and the car overturned. Xu Jingsi threw it away. Shao Zheng and Fei Yan were still in the car. Xu Jingsi said, "Come out quickly" while using his gun to attract people.
Shao Zheng's body was covered with dust and mud, and his clothes were torn, but he was obviously not seriously injured. He struggled hard and climbed out of the car window, then turned to the other side and pulled Feiyan out.
He smiled and assured him that he was fine, and Xu Jingsi breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the wild snake wandering next to the car, they quickly ran towards the forest.
The wild snake watched for a while, looked at the three running people, and then chased after them.
Shao Zheng said: "This is troublesome. Even cars can't outrun it, let alone people."
There should be woods ahead, and they were running in the direction of the Gobi Valley.
Stepping onto the edge of the valley, a desolate scene still unfolded before our eyes. The desert wind blew by, bringing with it a hot breath. As they continued deeper, they were surprised to find some tough and tenacious plants. At first, they saw only sparse plants.
In the vast Gobi, there are clusters of low cacti. They are like guardians of the Gobi, growing tenaciously on the edge of the Gobi. Their bodies are short and thick, covered with sharp spines.
There were two vines running horizontally in front of them, and they got under them.
Xu Jingsi said: "This rattan looks a bit strange, be careful not to touch it."
While the wild snake was chasing them, it was suddenly entangled by several vines that fell from above. The vines of these vines may look ordinary, but they have amazing mobility. They squirmed quickly, wrapping tightly around the python's body like flexible tentacles.
Feeling suffocated and restrained, the python tried to break free from the vines, but they kept getting tighter and tighter. The vines seemed to be able to sense the python's movements and quickly adjusted their position to tightly wrap around every inch of the python's body.
The python's power became useless at this moment, and it could not escape the shackles of the vines. The vines stretched out more and more vines and continued to wrap tightly around the python, completely trapping it. The python struggled for a while and finally stopped resisting feebly.
The vines were victorious and they managed to trap the giant python. Three people escape the threat.
They finally succeeded in getting rid of the python's pursuit and reached the mountains safely. They paused, breathing heavily, and looked at each other gratefully.
Xu Jingsi said: "Desert wet vine. Very dangerous. Carnivorous plant."
It has a long, strong stem that can be used to grow on other objects. They have soft, flexible stems that can bend and twist to adapt to their environment. Stems can extend over long distances, some even reaching tens of meters.
The flowers are small, elongated, bell-shaped or funnel-shaped. Their flower colors are rich and varied, including white, yellow, and purple. The flowers are gathered at the ends of stems or leaf axils to form inflorescences. The flowers of wet vine are fragrant and attract insects for pollination.
The seeds of vines are small and light, possessing flight or buoyancy properties so that they can be dispersed over long distances. The seeds have spines or hairs that stick to the fur of animals so they can be carried elsewhere. Seeds have high viability and can survive and germinate and grow under high temperature and drought environmental conditions.
There are mountains all around. It seems that the roots of this vine are on the mountains, but they hang down and lie across the middle of the valley. Can prey on passing animals.
Carnivorous plants are a specialized group of plants that capture, digest, and absorb insects or small animals for nutrients. The most famous carnivorous plants include pitcher plants, Venus flytraps, and sundews.
Carnivorous plants often produce special scents, colors or shapes to attract insects. For example, pitcher plants release aromatic, sour substances, while flytraps produce bright colors and sweet secretions on their leaves.
Insects are attracted to carnivorous plants, where they are caught in special structures or traps. For example, the leaves of pitcher plants form a cage-like structure that makes it difficult for insects to escape after entering. Venus flytraps have sticky leaves that stick to insects once they come into contact.
Once an insect is captured, carnivorous plants secrete digestive enzymes to break down the prey's tissues. These digestive enzymes break down the insect's proteins, carbohydrates, and other nutrients into absorbable forms. The digestion process can take days or even weeks, depending on the size and species of prey.
Once prey is digested, carnivorous plants absorb nutrients through specialized structures such as tiny capillaries or absorptive organs. These nutrients include elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential for plant growth and development.
Carnivorous plants replenish nutrients lacking in the soil by eating insects or small animals. Their predatory and carnivorous process is a unique strategy to adapt to their environment, allowing them to survive and thrive in poor soil conditions.
The vines of Desert Wet Vine can move and twine flexibly, secrete digestive juices, and have paralysis and decomposition effects.
Xu Jingsi said: "The place where the desolate people gathered last time is near here."
Shao Zheng said: "Look around here to see if there are any clues or traces."
There are some sparse bushes. Their leaves are dry and tough. They have experienced countless wind and sand baptisms, but still bring a trace of life to the desolate land.
As we continued walking, we also discovered some strange plants. Some bluegrass grows in the cracks of the rocks. Their root systems are tangled and complex, seeming to be looking for every trace of moisture. The leaves of the plant appear light green.
Although the plants in the Gobi are rare and tough, they are the miracle of life in this desolate land and a touch of green in this desolation.
Near a valley, some traces left by someone were found. Xu Jingsi noticed some trampled plants, their leaves and branches had been trampled or broken. This indicates that someone was passing by here, possibly in a hurry.
Some footprints were found, deeply imprinted in the sand. The size and shape of the prints suggested they were those of an adult, and they were oriented away from the plants. The distance suggests they may have been fleeing the scene.
There are some discarded items. There were some empty food wrappers and water bottles, suggesting they had been here for a while. There are also some fallen rhizomes of water-exploring plants.
It can be inferred that they once passed near this Gobi plant and may have stayed here for some time.
