"Have you seen these black trees? Come, take a closer look at the big trees. Does it look easier to pick than the white ones, and is it extremely smooth?
In fact, that’s not the case. Uncle, come in and take a look. There is a tree here that only bears one fruit. Take a look at what’s on the trunk.”
Mai Fan's eyes were actually pretty good, but in order to match the atmosphere created by this little girl, he actually got in front of him and looked at the tree trunk.
To be honest, he had never seen a tree grow so sinisterly.
These trees look very smooth from a distance, but no matter how good your eyesight is, you have to get closer to find out what's going on in the trees.
On the trunks of these trees, where the fruit grows, there are actually some strange black threads floating.
Things in this downy state look soft and harmless.
But when your fingertips gently touch one of them, you will find that this black hair is actually covered with countless barbs.
These barbed hooks, which are like scales, once hooked on the skin of animals and plants, will not let go.
Unless you tear it off hard, you can't separate it.
Even if your skin has been separated from the black fuzz, you can still see the broken black spots on your fingers.
The inserted part has penetrated deep into your skin.
It is not fatal, but it will make the punctured part painful, itchy, and very uncomfortable for a few days.
If the friends on the side want to help you, they must find a sharp needle-like wooden thorn to spread around the injured skin, separate the deep-rooted flesh, and dig out the thorn that has penetrated.
It's really a headache to deal with something as troublesome as this.
Mai Fan learned that not only were the animals difficult to deal with, it turned out that the straight animals were also secretly poking and sniffing their own muscles.
No wonder, there are more omnivorous animals here. When your plants and meat are not allocated, you can only mix them together and eat everything.
Therefore, after Mai Fan understood how difficult it was to pick this kind of thing, he was relieved by the small request made by these children.
No wonder these children said that picking such things requires a certain amount of skill and strength.
The problem of the warriors providing themselves with security and collecting fruits is also unrealistic in the case of this species.
The collector needs to concentrate all his efforts on dealing with the habit of being picked by others that the plant itself resists. When his attention is on the plant itself, his attention to the outside world will naturally be much slower, even the most powerful one.
Even the best warriors cannot do two things at once.
It is estimated that the efficiency of collecting food while protecting themselves is extremely low.
It is a very reasonable arrangement to put effective combat power into the protection of purebreds, and then let relatively careful children who are suitable for this job do this kind of work.
Mai Fan agreed with what the little girl said that collecting was a very difficult job. After that, he happily picked up his basket and joined the group of children in hard work.
During this process, Mai Fan also discovered that these children were rarely stabbed.
He feels that if children in today's real life do this kind of work, they are bound to fail once.
The reason is that the skin of children here is much rougher than that of pampered children outside.
Each of their hands, especially the index finger and thumb, which are responsible for picking, have a thick layer of calluses.
And this callus is thick enough to resist the slight touch of those fine hairs.
The texture of this kind of callus is basically painless.
Even the youngest children have a thin layer of calluses on their relatively tender fingers.
It can be seen that in the wild where the environment is relatively harsh, children from poor families always become the masters early.
In addition, the acuity and reflexes of children here are stronger than those of ordinary children.
Among the relatively long and dense fruit clusters, the proportion of black hairs is a bit like that of sea anemones in the deep sea.
At this time, there will be two children cooperating with each other.
A child dressed as a sheep stretched out toward a relatively large fruit. After the fine black hairs felt the animal approaching, they spontaneously gathered together and tried to leave their own seeds or seeds on the animal's skin.
Plant community.
At this time, the amount of black plant fibers around the other fruit will quickly become very thin.
This gives the children who cooperate with it a chance to pick.
When the child successfully picked the fruit, the child who aimed at the big fruit retracted his hand, and his work was considered completed.
And when all the surrounding fruits were picked, the only remaining fruit was placed among them, waiting for the next round of fruits to mature, and then used as a target for the sheep to attack.
Mai Fan was also very curious about this: "Well, I said this fruit is so big, so if I just put it here, won't it rot?"
And the little girl was also very strange: "Of course not. When you see this tree, it has been plucked bald. Isn't it a bit miserable?
In fact, it is very tenacious. When we light up this area, it will automatically bear new fruits.
Its original fruit ripening period can last for half a year. Isn’t it amazing?
Isn’t it because after we developed and transformed this area, few animals can help it spread its seeds, which causes its maturity period to become longer and longer. The fragrance wafts from the tree.
It also becomes more and more persistent, so that more animals will come and fall for its trick.
But he didn’t know that this really makes it easier for us to collect other new fruits. Do you see this fruit? In a few months, we will replace it with another fruit as a lure and then pick it off.
.
At that time, after the fruits of nearly half a year have fallen, cut the shell and drink it directly as a drink.
This drink is a particularly popular drink in our tribal gatherings, and one cup can be sold for a lot of food."
Mai Fan probably understood the special characteristics of this fruit, which is a bit like self-fermenting fruit wine. The longer it goes, the more mellow it becomes.
It seems that the survival wisdom of primitive tribes also created another way of evolution.
In any case, they have learned all about this collection method.
