Before he finished speaking, the peacock's long fingers stretched out forward like a blade, and then, a silver silk knife cut through the darkness, stabbing the vines with shining light. They seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and they kept wrapping the silk tightly like an eel drilling into tofu. knife.
As you can imagine, the tighter the entanglement, the more severe the body will be. Like a broken cucumber falling to the ground, Ren Peacock took the opportunity to use his wrist to retract the silk knife, and pulled the broken vine back, helping Yue Guanchao. Very busy.
After landing, Yue Guanchao and the others carefully observed the cross-section of the thorn vine. As expected, the things inside were completely different from ordinary plants. Although the vine body that appeared in the cross-section was a plant, the intestines, blood vessels, stomach pouch and other delicate digestive organs could clearly be seen, just like Tiny organs are stuffed into the body of a plant. It seems extremely inconsistent, but it is real and makes people take a breath of cold air.
Fortunately, he knew how to explore the road first. If many people rushed in stupidly, wouldn't they be treated like a dish?
Just now, Song Siyuan's guess about the thorn vine was only theoretical. Now that everyone saw this thing right in front of them, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
“The world is so big, and it’s full of wonders!”
When Yue Qingshan saw these things, even if he was as bold as him, he still murmured in his heart.
Yue Guanchao has experienced so many dangerous tombs. This kind of thing is already commonplace. At least these things can only stay in place. It would be even more troublesome if they could run away like the corpse flower magic ginseng in Wu Coffin Town.
"Yao Mei, is this vine a plant or an animal?"
Seeing that the broken vine kept beating like a headless snake, Ren Peacock swallowed in disgust.
Song Siyuan took the photo and explained in a serious tone: "I still say the same thing, there is no way to classify animals and plants according to the existing classes and genera. The earliest species classification in the world was only a few years ago, and the classifications were all in the world. The common species, the plant's ancestor, likely existed billions of years before animals and plants diverged."
"In the era when they appeared, there was no distinction between pure animals and plants. They retained both the external nutritional organs of plants and the digestive systems of animals. After all, this species is a transitional species in the differentiation of animals and plants, and their organs are all It’s very primitive and doesn’t have particularly complex internal organs.”
Song Siyuan kept searching in her mind for species that still exist in modern times, looked at the crowd and explained:
"I feel like these things are the same as corals and starfish. They look like plants but are actually animals. Their appearance is similar to plants, and they have simple digestive organs in their bodies, which can capture prey and digest nutrients."
"In general, these are species that appeared in the early days of the earth. The era they lived in was a crossroads in the evolution of animals and plants. They either turned into animals such as starfish and corals, or completely degenerated into plants. It is likely that the geological environment here is too They are so special that the external environment is no longer suitable for their species to survive, but they can survive by relying on this special environment and gradually evolve into what they are now."
After finishing speaking, Song Siyuan approached the broken vine with a flashlight: "Now it seems that these spikes are not flower bones, but the mouthparts differentiated by the plant, which are connected to the internal organs and can hunt small insects or plants."
Yue Erpao kicked the thing, and the sticky green juice covered the ground: "We can't control what this thing is. It's blocking the entrance of the cave, so how are we going to get there? If we let this thing take a sip, we will lose half our lives." Alright."
"If the path led by the calf is correct, then we must walk through the thorn vines into the cave mountain. We must find a way to cross the road! Tell me, Uncle Tang, there are such ghosts in the cave without making a sound. of."
Before Yue Guanchao finished speaking, Song Siyuan quickly took his arm and said with a strange look in her eyes: "Not necessarily. Uncle Tang said that these caves were completely inaccessible at other times. I used to think they were sealed by some soil layer, but now Look, it’s thorny vines that seal these caves.”
"In this way, the description of having to cover up your human smell to enter Cave Mountain is completely true. These things may be very sensitive to living creatures. If you want to get over here, you can only turn yourself into a dead thing. , or disrupt their senses, causing them to make misidentifications and survive safely."
"Give me the human oil lamp!"
Seeing this, Yue Guanchao took out one of the human oil lamp tubes and lit the flame with a fire stick. As the wick was lit, the human oil shone brightly and continued to evaporate its unique smell.
Click! Susu! Wow!
Thorny vines are really sensitive to human oil. Once the smoke drifts into the vines, these thorny vines immediately become active, like snakes passing through, raising their thorny mouthparts and constantly tumbling in the air. In the process, they will inevitably hurt innocent people and bring down the same species. The vines snapped to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Song Siyuan looked at everyone with excitement: "This plant relies on its smell to capture living creatures. The smell of human oil has concentrated on thousands of people. To them, it is like thousands of living creatures suddenly entered the vine bush. This kind of The illusion will cause the thorn vine to become active from dormancy, biting its own kind as if they were alive."
"Let's light all the remaining lamps!"
Yue Guanchao knew that the solution to the thorn vine depended on lamp tubes, so he and Xu Xiake took out all the lamp tubes and lit them all with fire sticks.
When the flame of the lamp tube stabilized, the fire light instantly illuminated the cave, and the human face became dim and hot, as if guarding the stove!
In addition to the human oil, there are also many medicinal materials cooked by Old Man Tang. Now all five lights are on, the medicinal gas quickly becomes thicker as the human oil burns, and the smoke surges into the vines.
