Chapter 1101 Looking for Something to Do if You Have Nothing to Do 2
"Paper?" Parker chewed the word carefully to make sure he had no impression at all. He lifted Bai Qingqing's chin and looked at her face, casting a questioning look.
Vincent said nothing, but looked at Bai Qingqing with the same curiosity. He knew that Bai Qingqing must have something new to study, which might be beneficial to the City of Beasts.
Bai Qingqing said: "It's similar to leather. It comes out flat and white. You can use carbon to draw patterns on it."
Vincent thought deeply for a while. After listening to Bai Qingqing's explanation, it seemed that it had no effect, but he had no objection. He nodded and said: "Okay, let's make paper. How to do it? I'll prepare it right away."
Bai Qingqing quickly expressed her position: "I don't know how. I only know that the raw material is wood pulp. Let's cut down a tree first."
Vincent nodded and was about to leave when Bai Qingqing grabbed him again.
"By the way, are there poison arrow trees here?" Bai Qingqing asked, raising her head.
The poison arrow tree was mentioned earlier. The dead ape king planted one in his yard. The wolf beast was poisoned by the tree and died. In the end, the poison arrow tree was completely burned by Bai Qingqing.
Bai Qingqing remembered that the bark of poison arrow wood is very rich in fiber. If you peel off the bark and knock out the debris, you can get a natural fiber cloth that will not deteriorate for decades. And the venom can be completely removed after soaking.
Using the bark of curare wood to make paper will definitely succeed.
Of course, poison arrow wood is not the only kind of tree that has such magical effects, but this is the only one Bai Qingqing heard about, so she tried it first, and then slowly studied other tree species.
Vincent traveled around for many years and visited many places. He knew that there were several poisonous arrow trees nearby, and he specifically told the beasts in the tribe to stay away from this tree.
Not understanding what Bai Qingqing wanted from the tree, Vincent still said honestly: "I've seen it before."
Bai Qingqing hesitated again and then made up her mind: "Just chop one off. Be careful. Don't let the juice splash into your eyes. It's highly poisonous."
Vincent nodded seriously: "I know."
Bai Qingqing still couldn't rest assured. She stood up and found a long strip of animal skin and put it on Vincent's neck. "Take this with you and cover your eyes when cutting down the tree. Also, if something goes wrong, there will definitely be a long tree near the tree." There is an antidote, which is a plant with small white flowers, do you remember it?”
Vincent smiled and nodded.
Bai Qingqing said: "That's good. You go and find the detoxification plants first, and then cut down the trees."
The female chattered endlessly, some mother-in-law, but for the male beast who has to share his feelings with several people, this verbosity will only make them feel their partner's affection for them. It's not too late to be sweet, so how can they dislike it?
Vincent rubbed Bai Qingqing's head, which only reached his chest, and said softly: "I know."
Only then did Bai Qingqing let him go, waiting with worry in his heart.
After a while, he still felt uneasy, so he kicked Parker out again and took care of him with Vincent.
Not long after, the two beasts found a poisonous arrow tree that only a dozen people could surround.
This tree looks very small when it grows in the jungle, but any branch is comparable to the one transplanted by the Ape King.
The blue-gray bark is slightly rough, with many foam-like knots. The branches and leaves spread out in all directions, with a height of forty or fifty meters. The diameter of the crown is also thirty or forty meters, like a giant umbrella.
Two adult men stood under the tree, one strong and the other tall. They looked at each other, walked to both sides of the tree, raised their iron axes and started chopping.
