Chapter 335 Rainforest Killer

The battery cars in the scenic area all stop at the designated time and hop on and off. The team leader ordered a separate battery car for them to follow.

The first stop is the aquatic botanical garden. The big and round lotus leaves are like bathtubs floating on the water.

"This is Wang Lian, a flower whose leaves are more famous than flowers." He Huan said, "Because the flower has a strange temper, you are not lucky, and you will never see it."

"why?"

"Because its flowering period is only three days. It blooms in the evening, closes in the daytime, and has three colors in three days. Alas, what kind of magic fairy is this!"

"Hahaha..." The tourists became happy.

"It usually opens quietly one night in summer, it is white and fragrant, and then it closes during the day the next day, and at night, it opens again, and it turns pink. Then on the third day she It turns purple, closes and sinks into the water.

So it is called the fickle goddess!It is indeed very similar to a woman. On the first night, she came with a celestial spirit and a clean face, and on the second night, she came back shyly and gracefully. On the third day, she disappeared suddenly without saying hello. "

"Hahaha……"

"I really want to see it!"

"Come and watch it next summer! But its leaves can be viewed for up to half a year, so this is also a foliage plant. If you feel slim, you can go up and take a photo!"

The tourists were eager to try. After all, they were adults, but they still didn't go up. They took pictures next to them, got on the battery car and continued to move forward.

The air in the botanical garden is fresh, and the oxygen seems to be visible and touchable, and one breath is full.

Everyone is in a better mood.

From a distance, I saw two trees embracing each other, one with yellow and drooping branches, and the other green as a cover, like lovers embracing and dancing, it was so beautiful.

"Is this the Lover Tree?" A female tourist snuggled into the arms of a male tourist beside her and said affectionately.

He Huan smiled, "This is called Xiaomi sugar daddy."

The female tourist immediately sat up straight, and the male tourist looked embarrassed.

He Huan said: "I don't know which big money took it. This is not an ordinary Xiaomi, this is a strongman with lofty goals."

Everyone asked curiously, "Why?"

"Come closer and you will know."

After a while, the battery car stopped, and the tourists got out of the car and ran towards the two trees.

I saw that the tree that was entangled in the middle had already rotted.

"what!"

Everyone looked up at the palm tree that was entangled again, the leaves were drooping and withered.In a verdant botanical garden, it is very eye-catching.It turned out that it was not normal yellow, but withered yellow.

"Little Bailong, is the tree in the middle dead?"

"Yes! This is strangulation!" He Huan said.

"Strangle?"

"Well. It is a common and unique phenomenon in the tropical rainforest. The palm tree was originally a bare commander, trying to use its thick trunk to lift the long and huge green leaves like umbrellas to the sky. It is evergreen and long-lived. The leaves can kill people when they fall. Can be regarded as a hero.

But one day, a bird flew through the woods, and as luck would have it, the droppings fell into a crevice in its bark.There is a seed hidden in the bird droppings, the seed is too hard to be digested, and it is doomed to see the light of day again.

It lay in the bark of the palm tree, and it felt the sun and the rain, and it began to swell.The hard husk splits and sprouts.

Compared with those seeds that can only grow in the soil, it naturally knows to seize all opportunities around it.

But it is not satisfied with relying on palm trees, then it can only grow into ferns or moss like other epiphytes on rainforest trees, its ideal is to grow into towering trees! "

"Oh!"

"So it produces many aerial roots, like capillaries, gently climbing and winding along the trunk of the palm tree, slowly hanging down, and finally reaching the ground.

The moment it plunges its own blood vessels into the ground, it turns its back on the guest!
The rich nutrients in the ground make its blood vessels expand rapidly and connect them tightly. It is like a net tightly entangled with palm trees.

Going down, grabbing the nutrients of the palm tree, the rich nutrients support the rapid growth of its branches and leaves, and going up, competing for the sunshine of the palm tree.

In the end, the nutrients in the ground, the sunlight overhead, the palm tree can no longer get it, it loses all vitality, the branches rot, and the leaves fall.

This seed has changed from parasitic to independent.It is the famous rainforest killer, strangling the banyan tree! "

"what!"

"So how can this be called Xiaomi's sugar daddy? This is obviously knowledgeable and far-sighted. With the help of a very high platform, it squeezes out the platform's resources and achieves higher achievements."

"what!"

The face of the female tourist changed, and the male tourist beside her was also full of embarrassment.

"Isn't that cruel?" said another female tourist.

"The war between humans and animals is often thrilling, but the war in the plant world is long and silent. The rainforest is full of lush plants, and it is not easy to survive.

The relationship between plants, such as a female dill attached to a pine and cypress, is a friendly symbiotic relationship. You provide me with nutrients, and I help you with photosynthesis.This is everywhere in Pudacuo.

But the living environment of the rainforest is much crueler.Parasitic plants, like dills, are tender and affectionate. If they are willing to be a small grass, they will not let the big tree die.

Like a banyan tree, it is not willing to be a small grass, it is born to be a big tree, and it will seize every opportunity.It can't be blamed, it is also unfortunate. "

"What's wrong with it?" Everyone said unfairly, they really hated this banyan tree!
"Fortunately, it has already fallen on the ground, with a straight trunk, and Tangtang is growing fast. But unfortunately, it didn't get a place on the ground, but fell on another tree. What should I do?
It was born from a big tree, and it will not give up becoming a big tree. It can only wrap itself around other trees like an earthworm, eventually take its place, and strive to grow into a towering tree. "

"Ah!" Everyone didn't know what to say.

That's especially true for tourists, who don't say a word.

"There's another tree over there." The team leader led them there.

When everyone looked inside, they couldn't see any trees inside, it was completely hollow.Only the aerial roots are coiled and intertwined, like a cage covering the ground.

"This tree is really scary!"

He Huan looked up at another big tree next to him, "This hemlock has just grown its aerial roots and just climbed down."

Everyone also raised their heads and really saw the fine roots like earthworms from top to bottom. When they didn't understand it, they felt miraculous, but when they understood how it survived, they suddenly felt physically uncomfortable.

"Poor thing!" cried a girl. "Can we save this hemlock?"

"This is the law of nature." He Huan said.

"Then let's go! I can't stand it anymore!"

Everyone laughed.

"There is no way. You see a big tree die, and you don't know how many small trees and grasses have died. The root system is as big as the tree.

Hiding under a big tree and being a small tree is a beautiful dream. In fact, under the big trees in the tropical rainforest, the small trees will basically die.Because the root system of the big tree will expand underground, squeezing the root system of other small trees, and it can only die in the end.

So if you want to survive in the rainforest, you have to work hard to grow taller!That's how Tianwangshu came from!As the saying goes, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, but in the rain forest, the tree must be beautiful in the forest, in order to win a piece of heaven and earth from this dense and harsh rainforest! "

"Ah!" Everyone looked up at the dense rainforest and the towering trees covering the sky, never expecting that this peaceful forest is full of brutal wars.

The team leader looked at him with a smile, and led them to move on.

He Huan stopped beside a large tree, "You see, this is also a banyan tree, but it didn't fall on other trees, but on the ground. Do you see that its trunk, including its aerial roots, are very straight?"

"Yeah!" Everyone nodded.

"This is a lucky brother. It falls on the ground, sprouts and grows up, the main trunk is straight, grows branches, and then the branches produce aerial roots that hang down to the ground. It absorbs nutrients, grows thicker and becomes a prop root.

These pillar roots are very dedicated and united. They do not branch, grow leaves or grow upwards. They strictly perform their duties, which is to absorb water and nutrients from the ground.

It supports the branches that expand outwards and supports the continuous expansion of the canopy.The roots of the pillars are connected, the pillars and branches support each other, and the branches and leaves expand, and finally become a spectacle of covering the sky and blocking the sun, and a single tree becomes a forest. "

"Oh!" Everyone raised their heads, it was really spectacular, and seeing the roots in the air, they were not so disgusted and disgusted.

"When you see a single tree forming a forest, you must marvel at its greatness! But strangling is actually another way of survival it chooses in such a small environment. This is the wisdom of plants. Poison is not a husband!"

The tourists all laughed.

"It doesn't want to choose that way either. If it falls on the ground, it can form a forest alone. If it falls on other trees, some aerial roots are not strong enough, and the parasitic tree in the middle will die, and it will not be able to support it. Come down with the parasitic tree."

Along the way, I saw a lot of strangulation trees lying on the ground, like fighters who would not let go of their struggle until death.

Everyone was shocked.

"Ah! The plant world is so cruel!"

"Nature is both beautiful and cruel." He Huan said, "However, a tree can form a forest, and a tree can strangle other trees. I don't think other trees in the tropical rainforest want to know this brother."

"Hahaha……"

Leaving this cruel strangulation forest, to another forest, a male tourist ran to a tree, "Why are the trunks of other trees round, but it is like a fan bone?"

He Huan was speechless, everyone laughed, and the team leader was also funny.

"Why don't you say that other trees look like tube bones, only this one looks like fan bones?" He Huan said.

Tourists are going to laugh like crazy.

"This fan bone..." He Huan said.

"Hahaha……"

"It's called the big root. It's not just one fan bone, it's several."

Everyone turned around the tree, and it was indeed supported by several fan bones.

"Some people say that it was blown by the wind when it grew up. In order to resist the strong wind, it grew its trunk into a wall. But the fact is that this is an endangered plant, and those with personality are always endangered."

Everyone smiled at him.

"Its endangerment is inseparable from itself. Its native seeds are also very small, but it has the ideal to grow into a towering tree. It has grown like this since childhood in an airtight forest. This should be related to its Genes matter.

The jury is still out.So the botanical garden is also a scientific research unit, and botanists are still observing and researching.Plants have a long growth cycle and cannot speak or move. They require more patience and care than animal research. "

The leader nodded.

"My God! Is it also entangled by the banyan tree?" A tourist pointed to a twisted vine next to the root of the tree worriedly.

"No." The group leader said, "This is a vine, but it's a bit strong."

"Hahaha……"

"Vines are different from aerial roots." He Huan said, "The most fundamental difference is that aerial roots go down to the ground, and vines go up to the sky."

"Will it be strangled by the banyan tree?" the female tourist who wanted to save the tree worried again.

"This is the endangered plant protection garden." The team leader comforted.

Everyone laughed, but it was different after all.

After walking a little further, He Huan asked the tourists to go to the bathroom when he saw the bathroom in the woods. He quickly picked up his mobile phone and called Master Zhou: "How is it? Is the law enforcement team here?"

"Here we come, we come, we are persuading them."

"Okay." He Huan was also relieved, the law enforcement team is here, the inspectors can't be so domineering, can they?After all, it is the upper level, the regular army.
