Beasts Are Boundless

The height of the redwoods cannot be understood unless you see it with your own eyes.

In the dense forest where Ye Qiong had just started to get into, the height of the trees was only about five meters high.

The slightly lonely figure quickly disappeared at the end of the water...

In order to better absorb the light of the stars, the vines in the dense forest climbed very high. At a position closer to the ground, no branches and leaves grew, but they kept climbing, and only after reaching the top did they spread. A lot of branches and leaves come out. The large leaves can absorb light effectively. In the summer, the growth rate of these vines is very amazing.

And the big trees that are clinging to are more unlucky, which is one of the reasons why they can't grow too high. When they are young, they lack calcium and grow up lacking love. When they grow up to a certain level, they will be Forced to become a host host for those vines around the waters.

but……

It can't die, but it can't grow to an unimaginable height like the big trees in the Dinglong Mountains.

After Ye Qiong went a little deeper, he could see the kind of giant tree that could reach a height of more than 200 meters.

If the middle is dug, and a little decoration, you can get a house with three bedrooms and two halls, nearly 100 square meters.

The top of the trees is very lush, but the trees are chaotic.

Ye Qiong held the bone crystal longbow in his left hand, and drew an arrow from his back with his right hand, so that he could make a way when no monsters jumped out.

The iron arrow is still quite sharp, with Ye Qiong's arm strength, he can easily cut off the roots of the vines with the iron arrow.

The further you go deeper into the Dinglong Mountains, the taller the trees are, and the number of vines begins to decrease. However, the number and density of vines on both sides of the larger rivers branching out from the waters remain the same. a lot of.

Ye Qiong is now walking downstream along a branched river. In this case, first of all, it is certain that he will not lose his way.

After entering the Dinglong Mountains, especially deep into the dense forest, in the dense forest that covers the sky and the sun, you can't see the surrounding mountains, only the seemingly endless big trees and all kinds of strange vegetation, these colorful vegetation, There are all kinds of things, and there are also all kinds of colors, which will completely block the line of sight.

After entering the dense forest, if you look up, you can only see a small area of ​​the sky above your head, everything is completely covered up, and you can't see what the sky looks like.

In this environment, if it is cloudy weather, it is difficult to identify the direction, which becomes a very difficult thing. Only by climbing on some high tree trunks can you see the sky. Once you see the iconic mountains around you, you need to keep going up high.

For normal humans, it is a very dangerous thing.

Ye Qiong walked down the river and cut off some vines that stretched out from the bank. The seemingly slender arrows were now in Ye Qiong's hands, like a sharp sword.

After walking for about two kilometers, Ye Qiong found a tree with a wider view and hid himself, then stared at the water.

Ye Qiong is waiting for an animal...

Herbivores!

As long as it's a little bigger.

After waiting on the tree for about two hours, I saw a herbivore about one meter five tall.

Ye Qiong knows this herbivorous beast. It is called 魭? It is not a complete herbivore. It is an omnivorous animal. It eats vegetation in summer, but in winter, it will dig carrion from under the snow. Eating, a close relative of scavengers, is directly hunted by humans as scavengers in winter.

Ye Qiong looked at the owl who was drinking water by the river, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't mean to hunt.

After the owl finished drinking the water, Ye Qiong followed it quietly. Whether it can find salt depends on whether it wants to eat salt today.

In order to maintain the acid-base balance in his body, he? In summer, he needs to lick some salt-rich rocky areas.

There are many kinds of beasts like 魭? that can lead humans to find the salt veins on Xuexing.

Ye Qiong met today. They belong to the smaller ones. The bigger herbivores on Xue Xing are about three meters tall. Because they don't eat meat, it is very difficult for them to survive the cold winter. Some, eat less in winter to survive on edelweiss, which are slow-growing plants in winter.

Once the size of the herbivore exceeds three meters, it will be difficult to survive the long cold winter unless it is deliberately raised by humans.

With the feeding of human beings, it is possible to survive the cold winter in a stable manner.

Although it is difficult for herbivores to grow to more than three meters, but...

The reason why many species can still survive on Xuexing is because herbivores generally have a characteristic, that is, they grow fast!

They will pair in pairs at the end of winter, and then give birth in the spring when everything recovers. Generally, there are more than five per calf. In just a few months, the body size can grow to about 1.5 meters.

After Ye Qiong jumped down from the tree, he followed the child Hong? into the deep forest. In order not to lose his way, Ye Qiong had decided not to follow for too long. Before dark, he would come out and go back along the river. .

Being alone, Ye Qiong doesn't want to take any risks now.

Once you go deep into the jungle and encounter rainy weather, it will be very troublesome to find the small wooden house that you built.

In the jungle with high vegetation, it is much more terrifying than the maze.

Ye Qiong's figure followed the owl about fifty meters away. Judging from Ye Qiong's tracking level in the jungle, he didn't even need to see where the owl was.

With the traces left by its body shape along the way, it can easily keep up.

Such as footprints, broken branches and leaves along the way, and excrement and so on.

Ye Qiong just needs to speed up from time to time to make sure that he is not lost, and that's it.

After walking directly with the owl for half an hour, I saw that this guy actually returned to the place where he lived, in the root system of a big tree with a diameter of two, a hole...

It was blocked by a few red Rosaceae plants. If you don't look carefully, you can't really see it.

"Cuckoo..."

Hong? called out to the inside twice, and soon, there was a response from the inside, but the sound was much smaller and more immature.

Five small owls, about one meter in size, crawled out of the hole one by one.

It can be seen that it is the child of the owl. At this time, it is not small. It is almost the day of weaning. Their body size will grow to about 1.5 meters within two months.

After Ye Qiong saw the scene in front of him, he didn't turn around in a hurry, but continued to wait patiently, found a big tree, and climbed it directly.

Cub herbivores that have just broken out of lactation need more salt to their bodies.

So Ye Qiong concluded that it won't be long before that owl will take its five cubs to eat salt.
