"Huwuwu... Huwuwu..."
When he wasn't carrying Qing Zhi on his back, Xinka rushed directly to the front and began to charge towards the steep mountain in front of him!
While moving forward, they were shouting, and the sound was very penetrating. The sharp calls of the forest apes can help them locate themselves in the dense forest through echoes.
In dense forest areas, if you encounter obstacles such as mountains, you can judge the distance by calling.
Compared with vision and hearing, the distance judgment is obviously weak. The forest ape can accurately judge the distance through the echo of the mountain.
After Xinka took the forest ape team and set off into the dense forest on the steep slope, Ye Qiong waved his hand towards Qing Zhi: "Let's go..."
Qing Zhi immediately smiled happily and seemed to enjoy riding Thunder...
For Thunder, Qing Zhi is the only person besides Ye Qiong that it does not reject so far.
However, there is still a prerequisite for this, that is, Ye Qiong needs to ride with him. Qing Zhi himself still cannot ride Thunder.
At Ye Qiong's signal, Lei Lei lowered his head slightly, followed Qing Zhi's few steps to run, and then suddenly jumped up, jumping directly onto Lei Lei's back.
Ye Qiong followed closely, and after arriving in front of Thunder, he jumped on Thunder's back.
Not far away, the screams of Xinka and the others became louder and louder, gradually approaching the high platform.
"Buzzing..."
Beside the stream, Ye Qiong had also jumped on Thunder's back. As Thunder's wings stretched out and Qing Zhi's pretty face turned red, the two of them and the beast began to fly.
The height of about a thousand meters is naturally not a difficult task for Lei Lei. He just flapped his wings violently in the air a few times, and his body carried Ye Qiong and Qing Zhi to an altitude of several hundred meters.
The screams of Xinka and the others have reached the same height as Thunder.
The climbing speed of forest ancient apes is also very fast, although compared with climbing on flat ground, the physical consumption of climbing up is directly doubled.
However, the forest ape's arm strength is still very amazing, and he has his own way of climbing such steep places.
"Buzz...buzz..."
Thunder continued to flap its wings fiercely in the air several times. The height of his body had reached the edge of the platform, and he was about to reach the same distance from the platform.
On the current platform, a large area has been cleared by the soldiers.
The yellow-brown spherical object was cleaned out by the soldiers and placed under the wall at the inner edge of the large hole.
Just when Qingzhi returned to the waterfall base and called Xinka and the others to come over, the soldiers also conducted a small experiment while clearing the gray-brown vines on the platform.
Just look at those yellow balls, can they be eaten?
In order to prevent any accidents from happening, the soldiers first cut open the yellow balls with weapons.
This thing is a bit like the kind of Babe pumpkin, which is the kind with a green skin and a chestnut flavor after being cooked.
But in terms of color, the skin is yellow, a little dark, and the hardness is stronger.
It's so hard that it's hard to cut with a weapon.
After cutting it open, Ye Qiong and the soldiers immediately smelled a sweet smell.
Judging from the taste alone, it can be basically judged that this yellow ball is edible.
The skin is hard and the inside has a fruity aroma. From any aspect, this yellow ball has no toxic properties.
Continuing to cut open the inside, you can see the fruit inside, which is also a core seed, and it is most likely edible.
Most vegetation cannot move due to geographical restrictions. Therefore, if you want to pass on your genes, you must pass on your genes through evolution and external factors.
The way they evolved to reproduce is to passively spread their seeds.
Either there are edible fruits, or there are seeds that can be stored for a long time, the kind that are rich in protein.
Facts have proved that the latter is more suitable for thriving on the snow planet. The long eighteen-month cold winter allows the pulp seeds that can be stored for a long time to survive for human tribes and small beasts that cannot hibernate for an entire winter. Chance!
However, if the fruit itself is inedible, then it will be of little use to most animals. Only those smaller animals have the patience to deal with the hard outer peel.
The fruit is rich in nutrients, which can be regarded as a disguised reward for those who carry it.
Ye Qiong was actually very curious. There was no record of this yellow ball in the tribe.
After so many years, Ye Qiong is the person in the tribe who has explored the most areas. The south is directly to the Xufeng Mountains, and the east is directly to the V-shaped passage in the southeastern area of the Dinglong Mountains, and even the coastline beyond.
Going north, Ye Qiong has also explored a large area in the Dinglong Mountains.
But in such a large area and in such a long period of exploration, Ye Qiong has never seen such a yellow ball.
So here comes the question...
This thing doesn't belong in this area?
The space above the platform may not be large, but it is actually quite small.
If this yellow ball belongs to an alien species, everything seems to be explained.
Regarding this yellow ball, Ye Qiong was even more curious than the soldiers.
If this yellow spherical object is really an alien species as Ye Qiong thinks, then where it comes from is a very interesting question.
From within the Dinglong Mountains?
Or is it from inside the big hole?
Or is it from another continent?
Even……
Azure Mother Star!
Even more...
Earth?
In just a moment, Ye Qiong deduced all the possibilities that he could think of in his mind.
There is nothing Ye Qiong dares to think about now. Before he can determine where these yellow spherical objects come from, he still needs to have divergent thinking.
Anyway, the possibility is there, think about it first, there is nothing wrong with it.
After the soldiers cut open a yellow ball, Ye Qiong immediately came to the front, picked up a small tooth, first brought it to his nose and smelled it, then pinched it gently and squeezed out a drop of juice on the back of his hand. on it, and then smelled it again.
After basically confirming that this thing was non-toxic, or at least not very toxic, Ye Qiong took a gentle sip.
Compared with some poisonous animals or monsters, poisonous vegetation is not at the same level in terms of toxicity.
Such a drop of liquid will make your mouth numb for a while.
"Bah chi...ba chi..."
Ye Qiong continued to taste the taste, and said under the blazing eyes of the soldiers: "You can eat it...but you still have to go back and complete the research. Uncle Lang, please bring some back to the waterfall base first, and then get some seeds and send them to the center." The tribe goes.”
