Chapter 48 Plop
In fact, there is a rough upper limit for the points in the course, because there are only three observation points, and the types of star beasts in each landform are relatively fixed, so the total points you can get are only that many.
This time, the three hunting challenges were completed by three groups of people, and no one was able to obtain two challenge hunting points. In other words, the final winner of the top spot may depend on the speed of exploration.
Fu Han and Qi Ya completed exploring the most difficult swamp earlier than others and are currently at the top of the list in terms of points. At this time, others were still marching hard in the swamp. Fu Han can still use his mobility advantage to quickly explore the rainforest to ensure his ranking.
Fu Han was originally quite a Buddhist, but this victory was almost easily achieved. Fu Han thought to himself, then just use a little energy to fight for it. So as soon as they set off into the rainforest, they entered the state of full speed.
Cang Zi also showed his true ability this time. Fu Han and Qi Ya were sitting on Dayu's hand, while Cangji was "flying close to the ground" in the forest with only one pair of legs. Dayu's hand was only as fast as he could follow.
However, after going a little deeper into the rainforest, the vegetation in the forest became more and more lush, and the speed of the group inevitably slowed down.
Fu Han looked up and saw that the crowns of those giant trees were blocking out the sky and the sun. Then he looked at the low vegetation on the ground, but it was still dense, so much so that Cang Jie needed to use a knife to cut a passage.
Fu Han asked in confusion: "Why are the vegetation below so dense despite not getting any sunlight?"
Qi Ya is very good at plants. She pointed to the thick tree trunks above her head and said, "Look carefully at those tree trunks."
Fu Han looked at the tree trunk, and then noticed that there seemed to be light emanating from the tree trunk, and the light source was the light branches extending from the tree trunk. I thought it was the Tyndall effect before I looked carefully, but now I looked carefully and realized that those bare branches seemed to be growing from the trunk.
"Hey, what is that?" Fu Han asked again.
Unexpectedly, Qi Ya even started to lie about it at this time: "You will know when you get to the observation point."
Fu Han raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you already know what the observation point is?"
Qi Ya nodded and said: "To give you a hint, although it is in the center, it is not a climate tower."
Several kinds of star beasts that could affect the climate suddenly flashed through Fu Han's mind, but before he had time to think about it, his eyes were attracted by a bird and beast with brilliant feathers in the forest.
"Look, it's a lyrebird!"
Qi Ya looked in the direction Fu Han pointed and said in surprise: "Wow! It's so beautiful!"
The lyrebird has long golden tail feathers and is very beautiful. At the same time, it can imitate almost any sound and is a very popular pet star beast. But Fu Han felt that the lyrebirds in the rainforest were much more beautiful than those in cages.
…
There are indeed many types of star beasts in the rainforest. In addition to the plant-based star beasts everywhere, birds, anacondas, leopards, and apes also appear frequently... The two of them never stopped scanning the terminal along the way, which was quite dizzying. the taste of.
The contrast in the atmosphere between Cang Zi working hard at the front and the two of them using terminals to scan the star beasts in the back is indeed a bit big...
However, this situation did not last long. Cang Jie was very strong. After overcoming obstacles along the way, the group quickly arrived near the observation point. After receiving the reminder of points increase, Cang Zi rested against the tree trunk out of breath.
At this time, there was only a piece of large-leaf vegetation separated from the true appearance of the observation point, but Cangji had no intention of moving forward at all. Fu Han asked him, "Aren't you going to take a look?"
Cang Ji shook his head and said, "If you don't go, Liang Blind! It's not like I haven't seen him before."
Fu Han curled his lips and thought: Yes, yes, you are a rare and well-informed person, but a local dog like me should go and see it.
Qi Ya originally wanted to follow Fu Han, but Cang Ji reminded: "It's best not to go, you will get tanned."
Qi Ya couldn't move her feet immediately...
Fu Han shrugged and said, "I'll take a look and come back."
In fact, Fu Han probably guessed what the observation point was, because the hints given by the two people already pointed to the answer.
As Dayu's hands helped push away the big-leafed plants, the strong light made Fu Han squint his eyes. Fu Han raised his hand to cover his forehead and raised his head slightly to observe. As expected, the observation point in the rain forest was an ancient and strange tree - [Nine Yang Sacred Tree]
The legends and records of the Nine Sun Sacred Tree even predate the old gods. In the "Ancient Era" before the "Age of Old Gods", this ancient species existed in Qixing Land.
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a "final barrier" covering the sky in Qixing Land. At that time, all living beings in Qixing Land could not see the sky, and even their souls could not find their way back. In the entire Qixing Land, only the Nine Sun Sacred Trees can grow freely, and their crowns can break through the [End Barrier] to glimpse the stars in the universe.
It is not accurate to use the general term "star beast" to describe the Nine Sun Divine Tree, but the Nine Sun Divine Tree is indeed a life form with an inner core. Not only does it have cores, it has nine as many. And it is the only species in Qixing Land whose core has a concrete expression in the real world.
The nine sun flowers hanging under its canopy are the embodiment of its core. In ancient times, the word "sun" was specially used to describe the sun flowers of the Nine Sun Sacred Tree. It was only after the [End Barrier] was dispersed and the old gods descended that people who could see the sun called the huge blue celestial body in the sky the sun.
The Nine-Yang Sacred Tree does indeed have the function of the sun. Its sun flowers emit light and provide energy like the sun. Not only that, its crown reaches straight into the sky, and the golden leaves on the crown will collect starlight, which will reach the huge root system underground along the crown. The earth veins formed by the root system conduct the starlight to all the trees.
In the end, all the giant trees will extend their light branches, providing light energy to the vegetation on the ground. This was the reason why Qi Ya asked Fu Han to see the bare branches among the trees earlier.
If we look at the current Jiuyang Divine Tree by the standard of measuring star beasts, then it is undoubtedly a legendary quasi-god-level star beast.
In the legend, the [Nine Sun Sacred Tree] was originally as divine as the [Eternal Tree].
In ancient times, [End Barrier] caused all things to wither, in order to let its light spread further and cover more land. The Nine Sun Sacred Tree made a sacrifice. It first divided itself into ten parts and planted them, and then these ten sacred trees continued to divide and spread everywhere. In the end, the divinity of the sacred tree was eliminated, but the entire ecology of Qixing Land was completely preserved.
Therefore, the Nine Sun Sacred Tree is also regarded as a symbol of father's love, majesty and sacrifice.
…
The sacred tree can provide nourishment to the entire rainforest, but there is no grass growing around his feet, which feels a bit like a landslide of fatherly love.
In fact, it is because the light energy emitted by the Shenmu Yanghua is too intense, so it is difficult for plants to survive at its feet. This is the side that symbolizes the majesty of the father.
Seeing a legendary species like the sacred tree, the two wanted to scan it with a terminal. It turned out that the optical equipment of the terminal could not work under the strong light of the sacred tree at all, so we had to give up.
This sacred tree is actually relatively young. Its golden trunk is more than 400 meters in diameter, which means it is more than 400 years old. I don’t know how the academy cultivated it, or it was already here, so the breeding center was built around it.
The foundation of the sacred tree was actually under a deep pit. Fu Han got closer and looked at the bottom of the pit, and found that there were many [Light Elves] moving around the feet of the sacred tree.
There is no vegetation at the foot of the sacred tree, but around the sacred tree is a paradise for light star beasts. Fu Han guessed that there should be more light star beasts living on its unforgettable canopy.
I was thinking before that I could contract a light star beast to get some useful light skills so that I could help Boya breed a light head.
Now that he thought about the many light-based star beasts on the sacred tree, Fu Han couldn't help but get excited. But this is not the pit of Kuzuryuu. You can still get down if you fight hard.
The entire body of the divine tree is covered with strong light elements. A novice like Fu Han would probably be burned to ashes if touched. Even with Da Yushou's colonial equipment, it can only resist for a few seconds, and there is really no room for maneuver.
So it is impossible to go up...
Fu Han thought to himself: How about waiting under the tree for a few days, in case some star beast accidentally falls down...
Just as Fu Han thought of this, a round thing fell from the tree...
"Plop~"
It fell at Fu Han's feet.
