Under the lush tree, the two of them were hanging on the branches back to back.
"Now I am hanging in the tree about twenty meters high. Now we need to descend to the ground. We can use the rope on the parachute, but this goes against the survival principles I set this time."
"Although parachutes and ropes will be useful here, most people who get lost in the forest have nothing, so I have to be empty-handed, which will make this journey much more difficult. I have to find other ways to go down."
Bi Fang looked up at the top of his head, carefully untied the strap, and then got out of it.
"When you are hung on a tree with a parachute, be sure not to shake it with big movements. Although the parachute has a large area, it cannot be 100% guaranteed that you will not fall directly due to this, so when you make any movements
, be careful."
Leonardo remained motionless, watching Bifang leave from behind him. He suddenly lightened up, and even his position seemed to rise a little higher.
"At the same time, we must also pay attention to the branching branches on the side and don't let it scratch your eyes. The most important thing is to always observe the surrounding environment."
After breaking away from the backpack, Bifang grabbed a branch on the side and cautiously approached the trunk. He stepped firmly on the branch with his bare feet and firmly grasped the ground with his toes.
The humid environment of the rainforest made these branches covered with slippery moss. After a while, Bifang's soles turned pure green.
The branches of the Bodhi tree are very distinctive. After they grow to a certain height, they will expand in the horizontal direction.
It doesn't grow upward, like a layer of carpet spread out. When it is higher, it will be spread out again, which will be very convenient for walking.
"I have said before that the ecological chain in the rainforest is very cruel. Many creatures have evolved their own unique means of survival or hunting. Mimicry is also one of them. Sometimes the branch you think of may be a mimicry tree.
of poisonous snakes.”
[Hey, stop talking, I have goosebumps on my hands]
[Speaking of which, it feels like I haven’t seen the artifact for a long time, dog head.jpg]
【Come out, artifact!】
[Stick +9, attack power 210+120, no additional effects, strength: D, agility: C]
[The last time I went to climb Mount Everest, I upgraded to a super-artifact mountaineering pole, but a whole copy of the tree stick disappeared. It’s a shame to lose the status of an artifact!]
[Just break off the stems of the bodhi tree, it’s good! By the way, isn’t this a protective plant? 】
[If it were to protect plants, wouldn’t it be tragic? Lao Fang and Xiao Lizi just came down and broke a lot of branches, right? Dog head.jpg]
"How can it be so easy to come across protected plants?" Bi Fang laughed when he saw the barrage. The reason why protected plants are protected plants is because they are rare.
Landing in such a large forest and hitting the protective plants, is it good luck or bad luck?
Stepping on the thick branches, Bifang quickly arrived at the center of the trunk. Looking down, there were obviously fewer branches and leaves, and he could vaguely see the ground.
A small drone took the opportunity to pass through the gap and take pictures from bottom to top. Above the ground, the dark forest environment made everyone tremble slightly.
Bi Fang is right, the rainforest is not as beautiful and deep as everyone imagines.
A person who is not used to outdoor adventures will only feel terror and fear when entering this place, and will instantly want to run away.
More than two-thirds of the world's plant and animal species are found in tropical rainforests, and the animals and plants living here are undoubtedly very cruel to them.
A resting frog may be swallowed by a poisonous snake in the next second, and the poisonous snake may be chewed as a spicy stick by a meerkat in the next second.
Even for plants, sunlight, rain and dew, we have to fight and snatch it with all our lives.
"The rainforest has a unique plant canopy structure, which is composed of a number of vertical layered structures, including the forest canopy, crown layer, understory leaf layer, dwarf layer and ground surface layer."
"Each layer will try their best to occupy the living space and absorb the little sunlight leaking from the fingers of the big tree. Moreover, the hierarchy is almost solidified. Even the new saplings will basically not grow as high as their parents.
Because there are no resources.”
Tropical rainforest trees are divided into three layers in vertical space: upper, middle and lower. The crown height of the lower trees is usually below the middle crown. If the flowers and fruits are grown on annual or biennial branches, they will easily be separated by the upper and middle trees.
Covered up the light.
Therefore, they can only choose to bloom and bear fruit on relatively empty old branches or trunks to attract pollination by insects that interact in this space.
Or wait for the largest tree in an area to die, decay and collapse, allowing sunlight to shine in before it can become the new overlord.
"It's about twenty meters." Bi Fang lowered his head to confirm, then returned the same way, grabbed a branch above his head, and stretched out his hand towards Leonardo, "Untie the strap, then come over, be careful, there are many trees on the tree.
slip."
Leonardo nodded. In the rain forest, he felt more stuffy than before, and every breath was like water vapor being poured into his lungs, making them sticky.
The clothes on her body stuck together.
He recalled Bifang's previous actions, carefully untied the backpack strap, and then, with Bifang's help, stepped onto the branch. As soon as he stepped up, his sole slipped and he almost fell.
Fortunately, Bifang was prepared and grabbed him directly.
"The trunks of trees in the rainforest are very slippery and have a lot of moss on them. You must be careful when climbing trees and don't rush."
The two came to the trunk together. Bi Fang chose a trunk that was not that thick, hugged it with both hands and said, "The trunk of the bodhi tree is very special. It looks like many small trunks twisted together, so we only need to choose one of them."
Just slide the roots down and you don’t have to worry about scratching your hands, it’s really smooth.”
As he spoke, Bi Fang hugged the small tree trunk and stepped on it with his feet. Under the influence of his own weight, he slid down bit by bit. He would rest on other branches for a while in the middle. At a height of twenty meters, he soon fell down.
Slide down.
As the altitude drops, the sunlight quickly disappears, and the entire forest becomes darker and darker.
The audience's mood became tense.
【Claustrophobia is really a problem here.】
[There are hundreds of millions of shrimps]
Just when he was about to land, Bi Fang stopped again, casually broke a branch covered with leaves, and swept it towards the ground under his feet: "There are dangers everywhere in the rain forest. You can see where I stand.
It's a dead leaf, but there may be poisonous centipedes hidden inside, which are hard to find in the rainforest and can easily be accidentally injured by disturbing them."
"There may also be poisonous spiders. There are many highly poisonous spiders in the Banna rainforest, but they usually only come out at night and rarely during the day. If you wear shoes, you don't have to worry, but unfortunately, I am still barefoot. , be careful before landing."
After Bi Fang swept the ground to one side to ensure that there were no hidden animals underneath, he officially landed on the ground, and at the same time called Leonardo, who was still in the tree, to come down with him.
With the demonstration, Leonardo became more careful and landed successfully.
When he reached the ground, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, you were too careful. You really made me nervous just now."
"I can't help it. I'm not wearing anything. Of course you can't be too careful." Bifang spread his hands. If he had been wearing clothes and boots, he wouldn't have to be so nervous. He would be fine if he jumped from a height of two to three meters.
But he didn't. Although Bi Fang had the experience and abilities given by the system, his body was still normal and he had not developed the adaptability to survive in the rainforest for a long time.
There are significant differences from the original inhabitants.
"The top priority now is to knit a pair of shoes for my feet so that I can walk freely in the rainforest without being endangered by insects." Bifang squatted down and touched the ground.
"There may be dangers hidden in the dead leaves, and these sharp needles may also prick the soles of your feet. Of course, it will be fine for a short time, but over time, the soles of your feet will become very rough and densely packed. Small wounds that cannot be seen clearly are easily invaded by microorganisms and even parasites, such as sand fleas."
"They usually live in the soil and use the blood of warm-blooded hosts as their food source. Many indigenous people in Africa who don't wear shoes have very thick soles with many dense holes, like barnacles on whales. I don't want that. , it’s really disgusting, don’t search for it.”
Leonardo shrugged: "I think they will be more curious if you do this, but I have seen it with my own eyes and it is indeed very disgusting."
"I need to find a plant to protect my feet. Until then, we can simply bandage them with branches covered with leaves, like a wound."
Bifang did not waste the branches he had just swept, and directly wrapped the entire sole of his foot. Then he did the same with the other one, and then took Leonardo to explore the jungle.
"The parachute will be collected by the staff for us. Now, let us seize the time to explore."
On the ground, there are dead leaves and green grass intertwined everywhere, which is also a unique phenomenon of the rain forest.
"There are so many microorganisms here that a corpse may decompose to the point of being completely decomposed in just a week. In fact, the rainforest has a hot and rainy climate, and surface runoff and leaching are intense, making the The soil is very poor and lacks the accumulation and replenishment of nutrients."
"The ability to grow towering trees is entirely due to the violent decomposition of organic matter and the recycling of nutrients. This also means that once the rainforest is destroyed, it will be very difficult to grow again."
"Withered leaves are green grass, and two phenomena that should appear in autumn and spring can be intertwined."
