Chapter 198: Strange Things in the Inland (First Update)
Due to the unique geographical and climatic environment, most of the plants on the continent of March Star are bare, and the leaves are needle-shaped.
There is a half-year windy season every year in coastal areas, and large leaves have no way to survive. Of course, there are plants with large leaves, but the leaves are all crawling on the ground.
Anyway, you can see with your naked eyes that they are all bare tree trunks without leaves.
The inland area is a dry Gobi Desert, where many things similar to cacti grow, but these cacti are as big as a car, with a diameter of seven or eight meters and a height of five or six meters.
There are many reptiles living on these cacti. Because of the arrival of the windy season, many debris blown up will be nailed by the thorns of the cactus, and then over time, a layer of covering is formed on the surface of these human cacti.
Every huge cactus is a world of reptiles, with ants, but the tails of these ants have the poisonous stings of wasps on Earth.
There is another kind of beetle, which is the size of a fist and has two dark big pincers, which makes Yang Bo drool.
"I wonder if these big pincers taste good?" This big black beetle also has spikes on its back.
It is still very good in the Red Stone Mountains. There is fog in the canyon in the morning. Yang Bo uses anti-gravity to fly very fast. He passed through the 500-kilometer-wide Red Stone Mountains in half a day. This is because the canyons are not connected.
The fog in this Red Stone Mountains also has the effect of interfering with detection.
When we came to the endless Gobi Desert, there was no way in the Gobi Desert. It was difficult to hide without a single cloud.
Yang Bo came here in stealth. He looked at the surrounding environment and found that this was where the gerbils lived.
However, gerbils are nocturnal, so Yang Bo decided to take a look around here first.
After carefully observing the beetle for two minutes, he found that the beetle did not carry energy.
Yang Bo found that he could see the energy changes of objects. He didn't know which superpower affected it, or it was because of his own physique.
After letting go of the big black beetle, Yang Bo looked at it carefully again. It was a lizard more than ten centimeters long. The whole lizard was black and yellow, and had spikes similar to those on the earth.
Normally, the spikes on this guy's body were flat. Once there was any disturbance, they would immediately stand up, and transparent venom could be seen secreted on the spikes.
"No energy fluctuations." After a careful look, there was still no energy fluctuation.
Yang Bo came to see it with a fluke mentality. After all, there were mutant creatures in the sea, and I wonder if there were any inland areas.
The Gobi Desert looked extremely desolate during the day, and Yang Bo observed a lot of reptiles on a cactus.
There were also some shrubs here, but they looked like camel grass crawling on the ground. The whole thing looked like a shrub without leaves, but it was covered with thorns.
The tall shrubs were one or two meters high, and the short ones were dozens of centimeters. This shrub also had red and white morning glory-like flowers.
Finally, when it was night, Yang Bo found that the Gobi Desert had become lively. A pitch-black snake crawled out from nowhere and wandered in the Gobi Desert.
A pangolin-like creature came out from a piece of sand, shook its head twice, and then came out in groups of one, two, and three.
"Hey, there are actually weak energy fluctuations?" Yang Bo saw that these unknown creatures, which were a circle smaller than the pangolins on Earth, actually had a faint energy in their bodies. Although it was very faint, it was energy after all.
Yang Bo was a little unconvinced, and after a closer look, he found that there were 11 such small animals in this group, and only three had faint energy fluctuations, and the rest did not.
Yang Bo was not surprised at all, because in the tribe on Tie Niu's side, there were rhinos of all levels. Tie Niu and his brother were the highest level, and some were ordinary rhinos.
"It feels like human society. After birth, some have high talents and some have low talents. So what affects these talents? Is it genes or something else?" Yang Bo observed carefully for a while, and he was also a little confused.
The fat boss said that the parents are advanced gene evolvers, but the children have no talent at all.
And some children whose parents have no talent have good talent, which is why there are still fertility factories in society now.
Some children who are cultivated from embryos of the same parents' sperm and eggs have completely different talents.
"I don't understand!" Yang Bo thought about the mystery of life for a while and threw this idea away.
Yang Bo came under a piece of stone. There was a big stone here. Because one side was often blown by the wind, a large area was suspended under the big stone.
Yang Bo chose this environment and was also preparing to do an experiment. Didn't he heat the saliva of the iron bull yesterday and turn it from transparent to red.
Is this red poisonous or does it have other functions? Yang Bo is going to experiment with the animals here.
Yang Bo came under this big stone to avoid the reconnaissance of satellites in the sky.
These animals suspected to be pangolins actually eat those beetles. More than a dozen of these animals ran back and forth in this Gobi Desert, chasing these beetles.
These animals, which looked like pangolins, dug the soil vigorously to cover the beetles with sand. While the beetles were struggling in the sand, they pressed them with one claw, then bit off one of their pincers and started eating it.
The scorpion-like stinger on the tail of this beetle has no way to penetrate the scales on the claws of an animal like a pangolin.
A beetle came under the stone, looked at the pangolins chasing after it, raised its two large pincers, and the two large pincers made a clicking sound.
The two large pincers clamped quickly, and the animal suspected to be a pangolin looked at the big beetle and stretched out its claws to dig the soil and hit the beetle.
Then the next second, the pangolin seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, and then a box on the stone wall on one side of the stone opened, and a silver needle appeared. The needle floated to the pangolin and pierced it with one needle.
This is Yang Bo's invisible state, conducting an experiment on this small animal.
Because Yang Bo did not use other abilities this time, but only used his own strength, the invisible state was not lifted.
There was a trace of red liquid in the syringe, which was injected into the body of the small animal.
The big beetle saw this strange scene, waved its pincers, and fled while backing away.
After the small animal was injected with red liquid, after a few seconds, the whole body of the small animal began to swell, and the color of the scales on the body also deepened. The strength of the body seemed to increase, and it struggled madly.
Other small animals of the same kind in the distance saw this scene and stood far away and watched.
"Is it mutated?" Yang Bo was puzzled, but after a closer look, he did not see any energy fluctuations.
Energy particles can be seen in the field of vision. This ability seems to be a passive ability. Energy particles can be seen without using one's own energy.
A minute later, the small animal lost its life, and blood flowed from its mouth and nose.
"Frenzy? Or is the energy too strong?" The invisible Yang Bo was also a little surprised to see this result.
"It seems that this red liquid is a bit dangerous, but I don't know much about biological research, and I don't have observation equipment."
"There is no such small animal, and various data before and after are compared." Yang Bo didn't plan to experiment. This time he took this to experiment, mainly to see if it was poisonous.
Now it looks like a frenzy rather than poisoning, or a feeling of being overwhelmed by energy and losing reason.
Yang Bo's body appeared, and his hands released powerful electrical energy, roasting the small animal directly into charcoal.
Because Yang Bo was not sure whether the body of the small animal would be eaten by other animals and cause unnecessary trouble if it was placed here?
Yang Bo took another look at the boxes placed on the stone wall. One of them was for the syringe just now. He put the syringe back, and the other boxes were for the gerbils.
When Yang Bo's body appeared just now, the small animals around ran away, but these small animals observed this two-legged monster from a distance.
Yang Bo walked around the stone and found the traces of the gerbils in the distance.
Gerbils are very timid by nature, so they live in relatively open areas.
Gerbils look a bit like enlarged pikas, but this little thing has sharp claws and moves very quickly when digging the soil.
Yang Bo still likes this kind of relatively normal small animal.
Several gerbils were gnawing on the bark of the thorny bushes.
The food of gerbils mainly depends on the rainfall during the windy season, and the whole Gobi Desert will be green.
The arrival of the windy season will bring a small amount of rain, which will give birth to many plants. The life of these plants is very short, the shortest is only five or six days, from germination to flowering and fruiting.
The longest is one or two months, especially the thorny bushes have a lot of seeds, which are very small.
The gerbils are turning around the stones on the Gobi Desert. Because the temperature at night is very low, some of these stones will condense small water droplets, and the gerbils rely on these water droplets to survive this difficult dry season.
The two gerbils smelled a different smell, and just walked over, they were suddenly caught by an invisible force. The two little things made a shrill scream. When the gerbils in other places heard this sound, they instantly brought a puff of smoke and rushed into their nests.
"One of them is actually a male, take it home for experiments." The invisible Yang Bo looked at the gender of the two gerbils.
The two gerbils screamed and were thrown into two boxes under the big rock.
Yang Bo was a little speechless when he saw the other gerbils running away.
After waiting for more than two hours, the two gerbils just poked their heads out from another exit, and were directly taken away by the invisible force holding their heads.
This time, the gerbils couldn't scream.
The gerbils in the nest thought it was safe outside and came out.
After a while, two more heads were imprisoned by the invisible force, moved under the big rock, and were stuffed into two boxes according to gender.
"This one looks like it has cubs, let it go." The third time, Yang Bo looked at the belly of a gerbil, which seemed to be breastfeeding, so he let it go.
"Let's go back, this Gobi Desert is a bit too conspicuous, go back to the Red Stone Mountains to see if there are any good things." Seven gerbils were caught, four of which were female and three were male.
Yang Bo also collected some plants from this place, mainly because he was worried that the gerbils would be difficult to raise at home.
After all, the plants in semi-arid areas contain very little water. If you rashly feed them vegetables and fruits that humans eat, it may cause abnormal reactions in these little creatures.
The mecha was released, and then Yang Bo put the prepared box into the storage box of the mecha, and then put the mecha away.
He walked back in stealth mode. This place is about 600 kilometers away from home. The Redstone Mountains can be seen from afar.
Yang Bo in stealth mode can only use other superpowers, but passive ones can be used.
In less than an hour, Yang Bo arrived at the Redstone Mountains. The mountains of the Redstone Mountains are very distinctive. One side is bare, and the other side is covered with green shrubs and trees.
The bare side is facing the sea. When the strong wind comes, the wind blows from this side, and all of them are hard red stones.
And because the Redstone Mountains are relatively high, there are streams and water.
There are more than 1,900 species of animals and plants in the Redstone Mountains, including more than 600 species of plants, and the rest are animals, including reptiles.
There are more than 60 species of fungi among the plants, and Yang Bo came here for the fungi.
Because when Yang Bo looked at the official website introduction, some fungi looked delicious.
When Yang Bo came here, he didn't search the Red Stone Mountains carefully. Now that the mission is completed, he will take some strange things back to study.
Soon in the valley at the foot of the mountain, Yang Bo found a kind of fungus. This kind of fungus is like a piece of dough, the whole color is black and brown, crawling on the ground.
The diameter of the big one is half a meter, and the small one is more than ten centimeters, or several centimeters.
This dough-like part is its surface, and there are spherical roots underneath.
After Yang Bo appeared, he snapped his fingers first, and there was nothing unusual around, so he started digging.
Because the other side of the mountain is blown by strong winds every year, countless dust falls on the back of the mountain, so this kind of fungus will be covered with dust every year when the strong wind season comes, and then rot. After the strong wind season, new ones will grow from the spherical rhizomes below.
"It actually has a faint energy?" Yang Bo dug a full 50 centimeters deep before he saw an irregular rhizome as big as a football. What surprised Yang Bo was that this spherical root actually had a faint energy.
"I really just want to dig it up and try to eat it." Yang Bo really didn't expect such an accident.
"Why didn't the official website of March Star introduce that this fungus contains energy? Or is it that the existing means can't detect it? Or is it that this one is so big and special?" Yang Bo was a little confused.
"I don't know if the land in this Red Stone Mountain is for sale." Yang Bo quickly thought of another possibility, that is, there may be an energy mine under this place.
