168. Planet of Eppox

Old K is a little regretful now.

Originally, they didn't plan to let Sa join their team, but in the end, Sa's bait was so big that they were finally moved. It turns out that they are not firm enough. If Sa had been allowed to speak clearly at that time, it would not have reached such a strange point now.

Sa refers to a planet in the twelve universes that does not yet have a high-level intelligent civilization.

Everyone was a little surprised when they first arrived. Although it has not yet bred a high-level civilization, the whole planet is full of vitality. Especially Lao K, the natural environment here looks similar to that of the earth, but the vegetation coverage is obviously not comparable, and the air is so fresh that he coughed when he first breathes. That kind of comfort and transparency is almost unbearable for his artificial body.

But soon everyone discovered the strangeness of the planet.

First, it was Ita and Little Curette, and the two children were rubbing their eyes: "Am I dazzled? Why do those flowers turn into fruit in the blink of an eye?

At that time, everyone was still immersed in this primitive and completely undamaged ecology. Before paying attention to the surrounding environment for a while, the two children said so before they carefully looked at the surrounding animals and plants. At this time, I found that the situation here was actually quite strange. Judging from the surrounding environment, there seemed to be no animals here, or at least no animals in the conventional sense. And it's as if the clock has been dialed many times faster, and the growth rate of those plants is definitely not the usual speed.

They arch the ground and germinate at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they can grow as high as their knees in a few moments of breathing. The leaves on the tree quickly sprouted and grew up. The buds were just a little red buds a second ago, and then bloomed into big flowers in a second. In just a few minutes when everyone was stunned, the fruit they saw before had changed from green to red, and finally ripe, emitting a fruity fragrance.

Seeing that the fruit was ripe and about to fall to the ground, Lao K stepped over and caught the fruit that had fallen off the branch: "It smells really good. I don't know if I can eat it?"

It is impossible to bear only one fruit on the tree. When Lao K started, there were also fruits falling from other branches and smashing on the ground, rotting into a pool of juice, and the sweet fragrance instantly filled up. Now not only Lao K, but also others swallowed a little unbearable.

He looked carefully at the red and yellow fruit in Lao K's hand and nodded: "This can be eaten. I have eaten it before. It tastes very unique."

"Is it unique?"

As soon as I saw the expression on Puliss's face, I understood what he was thinking. He didn't need to touch it at all, so he immediately distinguished: "No, it's not what you think. This is really unique and delicious. If you don't believe it, you can try it."

The taste of the nameless fruit is really unique, and it is fast food, because the one held in Lao K's hand began to emit the unique fermented mellow fragrance of the overcooked fruit in about five minutes, and then quickly began to rot in full view of everyone.

Lao K threw it away, looked for the fruit that was not fully ripe on the branch, and picked a few for everyone to eat. Anyway, this thing is ripe quickly. It looks still green, and it is just ripe when you take it off. After a bite, it is sweet and full of juice, which is really delicious and has a faint smell of wine.

After swallowing the fruit in a few bites, Gu Li stared at the fruit core in his hand for a while, pinched a pinch of soil from the ground into a ball, pressed the fruit core inside, wrapped another layer of mud outside, and held it when it was pasted. Sure enough, it didn't take long for green buds to appear on the dirt ball, but I don't know if it was because the outer pulp was eaten and not nutritious enough, and the growth rate was much slower than those brothers and sisters on the ground.

I looked at it for a while, and suddenly there was a lingering lingering look on my face: "I remember, everyone should be careful not to eat the seeds here by mistake, no kind of seeds. The last time I came, the metabolism on this planet was not so fast. There were also some animals, some of which ate the kernels of some fruits, and then were killed by fruit branches that quickly grew out of the body.

Sa didn't say the detailed process, but these words were enough. It was the first time that Lao K heard that there was such a plant. He was very surprised: "Don't lie to us. It sounds like a horror movie."

Then he remembered another possibility: "Now it looks like there are no animals here. Are they all stabbed to death?"

Originally, everyone didn't have any special feeling when talking about his experience. After all, there are strange situations in the animal and plant world. Although what he said is a little appalling, it is not unimaginable. As a result, when asked by Lao K, everyone suddenly felt that there was a strange smell of blood on the planet, like the scene of a large-scale murder.

Gu Li threw the plant with a fast-growing rhizome that had punctured the small soil ball to the ground, and immediately the seedling took root in the soil and grew rapidly. At the same time, the branches that have just flourished have begun to dry and ulcerate, and many of them have rotted into the field and turned into fertilizer.

"Plants produce rapidly and photosynthesis is very frequent, so the oxygen concentration here is very high." Guli thought, "It's incredible that there are no animals. If the whole planet is covered with such fast-growing vegetation, sooner or later, the planet will become unsuitable for these plants."

Old K's direction of thinking is completely different from Gu Li: "It's not a matter to be stupid to stand here. Sa said that your friend's passage back to Holmland is here. Where is it?"

Sa looked around and looked a little uncertain: "The landing site I gave you before should be near the channel, but after all, for some time, the landform here has changed... Probably at that end, I feel it."

The location referred to is in the depths of the dense forest, but unlike the general dense forest, it seems that if you want to cross the past, you can only rely on the geomagnetic field to locate and cannot judge the location according to the surrounding environment, which makes the action a little inconvenient. Moreover, as a biologist, Gu Li also put forward his own views on the environment here. According to his opinion, they should not rush into the unknown jungle.

"If the plants there are the same type of rapid metabolism as here, that is to say, the planet is full of growing ruins and newborn plants. In this case, it is quite dangerous to run around, because we don't know whether the surface here will have the same nature. Maybe wherever we go, the place will suddenly fall into a canyon... And the absence of animals always makes me feel uneasy, growing fast, and the growth cycle of every life is like a mayfly. As short as a flies, then the evolution speed of species here should also be incredibly fast... Why are there no animals? Do these plants have ideas?

At the end of this sentence, he asked Lao K, but Lao K shook his head honestly: "I don't feel anything like a wave of thoughts. What about Sa?"

Sa also shook his head: "It's really too quiet here. Something's wrong."

Old K knows that what he said about quiet does not mean that the whole world can't hear the sound. In fact, from the perspective of hearing alone, the sound here is still very rich. The growth, flowering and fruiting, fruit landing, and sprouting of plants, I don't know if it's because the speed is too fast. These things that should have happened quietly now have unique sounds, and all kinds of rustling sounds are full of ears.

What Sa said about quiet means that there are no biological electron waves with ideological characteristics on this planet except for a few of them. Generally speaking, even if the backward planet is endlessly desolate, there is only a primary to primary biological form, or a planet without any creatures, it is impossible for such a little thinking biological wave to exist.

Even the grass and trees around them will transmit a sense of growth on an ordinary planet, or if there are worms, they will transmit sad and uncomfortable biological waves similar to animal emotions. And here, this sound can't be heard at all.
