The plant that Miao Pu is currently tinkering with is not suitable for growing underground. In fact, Miao Pu really doesn’t know what type of plant is suitable for growing underground. He chose this kind of plant mainly because it is closer to the middle on the element map. The closer it is, the closer it is.
At both ends, the conditions for cultivation are more stringent. On the contrary, the closer to the middle, the more tolerant and adaptable. Therefore, these plants can be grown, but the benefits will be reduced a lot.
Different from the kind of grafting planting on sea ships, soil planting is more complicated, but the profit is relatively more. This is different from the things used in combat. It is not mainly caused by supernatural powers. If it is like that, it will grow faster, but Miao Pu
It's going to be a big loss.
The first step is to improve the soil quality, plant the seeds, encourage them to grow, and then harvest energy immediately. Such a process does not take long and does not consume much life energy. The land here is relatively barren, and the Miao Pu has withered and flourished repeatedly ten times, and allowed [
Mara] helped crush the plant corpses to obtain the necessary humus soil.
After that, six consecutive crops of "hungry plants" were planted. The "hungry" here is used to describe the state of these plants. They are in urgent need of life energy replenishment. As far as planting this kind of plant is concerned, the advantage is that the results are quick.
, the disadvantage is that it consumes serious mental energy, and it is always inseparable from human care.
With this batch of energy base, the plants planted are serious things. These plants are added with plant element factors obtained from the underground space, which are variants of [Magic Tendon]. Although they are not good, they are already good.
Miao Pu is currently the best option available.
In terms of appearance, this plant is not tall, and its leaves are like bananas. In the past, it should have had certain ornamental value. But to Miao Pu, it is like a rubber tree, which can harvest life energy again and again.
And the harvest is basically proportional to its growth period. This is a plant that can be used for a long time.
With enough life energy, it will be faster to repair the large ship, and this was already done on the 19th.
This afternoon, Luo Zhiqing rushed back after a long journey. She had been out since yesterday evening and began to explore this new land, and now she has gained a lot.
Based on the # table coordinates, the original route set by Miao Pu and his party was almost straight to the south, but the place where they settled now was in the southwest, which was offset by almost 10 degrees.
Luo Zhiqing had the intention to correct her course when she set out, so she kept heading south along the coastline, using her ability to move in space, exploring and moving forward until there was no road ahead, then she turned.
With the return of Luo Zhiqing, and based on the information and data given by him, the map explored by Miao Pu and his party has become much larger. As far as the overall known appearance is concerned, the north-south span of the underground space has been proven, at least over 26
kilometer.
Theoretically, this distance is really a bit long, because it means that if you open a shaft from the south end and go up, you may have already left the country.
The measurable results are such a conclusion. Even if there is an error, it is not too different. Even if we leave aside the vast sea of earth, it is nearly 20 kilometers in a straight line from the front camp to the sea. Luo Zhiqing explored the south again.
More than 400 kilometers, which is nearly 400 B days not counting the normal sailing of the streamer. It was a non-stop sailing day and night. Even if it was not a straight-line sailing, it was definitely not nonsense to cover a straight-line distance of 66 kilometers.
Of course, the vastness of the underground space is not what Miao Pu and the others are concerned about. What matters is whether this is where they want to go, and if not, how to go next.
Now, with Luo Zhiqing returning from her exploration, both questions have answers.
"It seems that we have to take a boat to the southeast to reach the other shore." Miao Pu said, looking to the southeast. As far as the eye can see, there are vast expanse of land and sea, desolate coastline, and gray-brown exposed rocks.
The tall mountains are like a tattered fence. Although they are damaged in many places and do not look neat and beautiful, they still serve as a barrier between the sea and the land. Unfortunately, no matter which side you look at, the scenery looks monotonous and desolate, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Lack of desire to stay here for a long time.
Luo Zhiqing didn't know how to respond to Miao Pu's statement. After all, the other side was actually an imaginary target, and whether it existed or not was unknown.
But on the other hand, she also hopes that the other side really exists and is in the direction that Miao Pu pointed. Otherwise, the situation will be really complicated. Once they lose their target, in order to find clues, they may have to point here.
How long have they been searching in the Earth Sea? Moreover, this is the result they fear most. They may have the courage to face events similar to sea monster battles again and again, but they cannot withstand the passage of time.
Miao Pu also knew that time waits for no one. As a qualified intelligent auxiliary tool, Qi Ling had already listed some important data for him. After reading these data, he knew very well what he could do and what he should do now.
.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon at the latest, we have to sail again. Then we have no more than 6 hours to find the other side. No matter whether we succeed or not, we will return after that. The supplies we carry are almost enough for such a trip.
On this journey, you may even go hungry for 12 days.”
Luo Zhiqing felt a lot more relieved after hearing this. To be honest, she was afraid that Miao Pu would make a desperate move and end up with no return. Looking at Miao Pu's past, it was not just once or twice that his soldiers made dangerous moves without thinking about the consequences. He would do it again.
The possibility is really high once.
"Is there enough fresh water?" she asked with concern.
"As long as the Heart of Thorns no longer fails to function normally for several days like before, that's enough."
"Where is your life system energy reserve?"
"We can only do our best. It feels like it's never enough." Miao Pu's expression showed a bit of depression.
When switching from an assault type to a command type, a very important issue is the upper limit of superpowers. Although for now, it is possible to support battles with war and make ends meet. But his superpower capacity is still too small.
It can't be started. To use an enterprise as an analogy, the scale of the enterprise and the products can be said to be good. The only problem is cash flow. There is too little cash available for operation and the ability to resist risks is too poor.
Luo Zhiqing also realized that the topic was a bit too boring. She said: "Speaking of which, I brought some small gifts for you when I went out this time."
As she spoke, she took out several vacuum-packed silver bags from her space gap backpack. She opened them one by one, and they were all filled with plants.
"I have no research on plants, so I tried to pick some that look special. I don't know if you can use them."
Luo Zhiqing didn't know that the core of Miao Pu's life-type superpowers lay in the extraction and use of plant element factors. She thought that like most plant-type superpowers, the core of his superpowers was seeds. By stimulating reproduction and directional reproduction, the core of Miao Pu's superpowers was seeds.
to achieve the purpose.
Miao Pu's eyes lit up and he thanked him repeatedly.
Speaking of which, Miao Pu originally had the intention of exploring and collecting. But time was tight, and whether it was the repair of ships or the collection of life powers, they were inseparable from people, so he had to give up.
Such a gift from Luo Zhiqing is so thoughtful.
And he also knows that although Luo Zhiqing's space gap backpack is a void storage, a typical fantasy backpack, in fact, due to personal abilities and other reasons, the space should not be large, and it can bring back so many kinds of plants. This is obviously not a temporary idea.
Yes, but she had planned early in the morning and emptied her backpack to pack things. This is friendship (ordinary items cannot withstand the force of space movement, so Luo Zhiqing does not carry a normal bag).
What was even more beyond Miao Pu's expectation was that he could actually use two of the dozen types of underground plants.
This ratio is astonishing. You must know that from the forward camp to the coast of Earthsea, it is 200 kilometers. Along the way, there are lush forests and grasslands, and there are countless plants, but there are only four types.
Although these two plant element factors are very low-end, the value of underground plants with excellent adaptability is still very good.
One of these two plant element factors was named by Miao Pu: [Life Fruit]. As the name suggests, its fruits or seeds contain life energy, making it the best life energy supplement.
In terms of the amount of energy alone, [Life Fruit] may not be that outstanding, but its energy exists in the form of a fruit, and it is also a nut. Simply described, this is a fruit full of vitality. Store it,
It is obviously more cost-effective than storing energy melons that are time-limited and have extremely unstable energy status.
Another plant element factor was named "Poor People's Lung" by Miao Pu. This is a typical environmentally modified plant that absorbs various gases that are harmful to the human body, but it emits oxygen of quite good quality. It can
Say, this is a strategic element factor in a harsh environment.
With the [Life Fruit], Miao Pu must extend his stay to the maximum extent so as to prepare more protection for the next voyage.
More time will help repair large-scale ships. It is easy for vines to proliferate, but it is not easy to restore large trees. Large trees are the main material of large-scale ships, and even the buoyancy of large-scale ships is largely attributed to them. Although Miao Pu
The vines have many advantages, such as toughness, denseness, etc., but with these advantages, one characteristic is also inevitable, that is, they are heavy, heavier than the same amount of steel, so they cannot float on the sea.
If not, he would have weaved a big sea ship out of vines and launched it into the sea. After all, the big tree is not the product of the plant element factors he has mastered. Both the growth rate and the plant characteristics are far from comparable to the hybrid plants optimized by the fusion of elements.
During their stay, Kang Danian and the others were not idle. They divided into three groups and used [Mo Luo] as the eagle dog to explore the desolate world. They collected various samples, took terrain photos, etc.
This is their mission. The opportunity to explore the underground space is rare. Naturally, they are not here for sightseeing and enjoying the scenery.
On the 2nd, the sea ship weighed anchor again and set off again. Because the repairs had not yet been completed, and Miao Pu’s thirst for life energy had almost no upper limit, the deck of the sea ship was filled with plants, and there was also an extended expansion platform.
It is used to plant flowers and plants. From a distance, it looks like an oversized flower basket floating on the sea.
That night, Miao Pu and the others saw a new marine creature. In terms of shape, it looked very much like a tuna. However, a tuna could not have a shell similar to that of a crab or a lobster, nor could it be sparkling and covered with energy.
These creatures possess Feng Shui mixed attribute abilities. As far as the current source world is concerned, mixed attribute abilities are definitely rare. They are even rarer than abilities that simply have two attributes, because the latter does not mean that they can be combined.
The abilities of two attributes can be organically fused, but the former can. It not only has the advantages of dual attributes, but also has the purity of a single attribute. This level of energy fusion can be described as high-end. Even Miao Pu, before the awakening of the balance system, the third
The mixture of different abilities is obviously inferior compared to it.
Fortunately, this strange and beautiful creature was not interested in Miao Pu and his party. They were just passing by. They jumped out of the sea in groups, climbed to an altitude of nearly 100 meters at an almost straight angle, and then diagonally
Swooping down, the mixed attribute energy not only allows them to swim freely in the water, but also allows them to gain the ability to glide in the air. One dive can be hundreds of meters away, and the speed is extremely fast. From a distance, it looks like star shuttles gathering together.
The formed light belt moves like a dragon on the sea, making waves.
Perhaps it was the magical flying fish that brought good luck. The rest of the voyage was smooth sailing, with no sea monsters or bad weather. The sea was even once as calm as a large lake, and the ship could hardly feel any bumps while sailing on it.
In the afternoon of the 21st, Zhou Shuai, who was on duty in the observation basket on the top of the main mast, saw land. He jumped down from the mast excitedly, ran into the cabin and told Miao Pu and others about the situation.
About an hour later, the boat had arrived at the edge of the land. However, everything it encountered was towering cliffs, densely covered with rocks, and there was no bay where the boat could dock.
The large ship headed east along the coastline, gradually turning northeast. It was not until about 2 o'clock that day that it found a beach suitable for landing.
The ship anchored, and Miao Pu and his party took a small boat to the beach.
The beach here is equally desolate, but the senses are much better than the previous piece of land. The beach with white sand and the blue rocky mountains are majestic and majestic, like the walls of a giant Titan city, blocking people's sight.
, just these two things, there is nothing left, simple, but full of mystery. People can't help but think, what kind of scene is behind this steep mountain?
"Maybe it's another fairyland." Qian Lihang murmured, remembering the scenery he saw when he first entered the underground space.
"I don't know if it's a trap, but it's indeed the other side we're looking for. I'm pretty sure of that," Miao Pu said, pointing forward with his finger.
Everyone looked far away in that direction. Their eyesight was not as good as Miao Pu's, but they could vaguely see that there seemed to be a big black hole under the rock.
More than ten minutes later, the last group of people came ashore. The Bizard had already abandoned it, and everyone, including some of the Demons, had to carry the vine packages on their backs, and the group walked forward.
In front of the cave under the huge rock, Luo Zhiqing was already waiting there. She came to confirm the situation first. Indeed, this huge cave was not naturally formed, but was dug manually. Luo Zhiqing judged that such a rock cave was dug out, and the giant eel
The weirdos are the biggest suspects.
The cave is roughly cylindrical in shape with a diameter of more than 6 meters, which is large enough for the largest known giant eel monster to pass through.
The cave is very long, high and low, rugged, and has branching roads, but it is not a maze. In terms of the general direction, it goes deep to the south.
With Luo Zhiqing here, even if it was the first time for the group to come, they wouldn't have to take many unnecessary steps. Even so, Miao Pu still asked [Mo Luo] to leave enough marks along the way to make it easier to confirm the route.
After about 2 kilometers, the cave reaches the end.
The vision suddenly opened up, and what appeared in front of them was a huge basin surrounded by cliffs and mountains. There were no boundaries visible on both sides and in front. The place where the group of people was was halfway up a cliff.
There is no need to rappel, the giant eel monster on the left side wall has already opened the way for people.
It is a rock slope that slopes downward, like a plank road carved out of the rock. There is a rock wall on the left and a rock above the head. Even on the right, there are many places that are no different from cave tunnels. But the rock wall on the left is relatively thin.
, many places have collapsed, and the light shines in, forming sections of bright areas, which also makes the entire ramp not as dark and light as in the previous cave. The only problem is that this ramp was not excavated by humans, and there are no steps.
, and in this huge basin, the humidity is extremely high, and the slopes are slippery, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to walk normally.
Fortunately, there were no ordinary people in Miao Pu's group. When people walked down, they used more force with their feet. One hole after another was made on the rock slope. After stepping down, the ugly but simple stairs were almost there.
Miao Pu's eyesight was excellent, and he could understand more things intuitively. He looked at it for a long time on the edge of the cliff.
Unlike the land world on the other side of the Earth Sea, although this basin is also full of plants, they are obviously not as mature as there.
The word "mature" may not be very appropriate when used here. Perhaps "original" is more appropriate.
Although Miao Pu studied plants, he only had a superficial understanding of it. He was not sure whether it was what he thought. After all, the difference between what he saw and what was in the books was quite big.
The plants and ecological environment here are really like being on another planet, and it is not the "Pandora" type that easily associates people with the natural environment of the earth.
At least, none of the plants here are green. Not green often means that there is no chlorophyll or chlorophyll, and its life structure is very likely to be very different from the plants that people are familiar with.
Perhaps, this situation can be attributed to the fact that this place is underground. But a simple underground world does not have such rich and diverse plants.
This place is seriously affected by the transformation, and more importantly, the evolution progress here is much higher than that on the surface.
Miao Pu is not sure what caused the acceleration of evolution, or whether evolution started here a long time ago. However, he is basically certain about one thing. The ecosystem here is different from that on the surface, or even from the other side of the Earth Sea.
, are all very different.
Explore, go all the way south, and solve this mystery. He set a new goal.
