The sawgrass transplanted into the jar seemed to be very frightened. All four leaves growing around them were gathered together and curled up into a ball and shivered.
“It’s so interesting!”
Enzo nodded slightly, thought for a while, handed the serrated grass in the jar to Knight Carter beside him, and ordered, ": You are responsible for taking care of this serrated grass, try to be careful not to let it die."
"As for orders, sir!" Knight Carter took the jar and held the serrated grass in his arms.
Then, the pioneer team continued to head forward.
The environment of the twisted jungle is complicated, but with maps as a basis and chip guidance, this will prevent the pioneering team from losing their direction.
Squeak!
Another sound came from a distance, which seemed particularly harsh in the quiet forest.
Enzo looked at him and in the clearings in front of him, two serrated grasses growing, waving serrated leaves to fight, looking like two duel swordsmen.
Dingdang!
The two serrated grasses were very close to each other, and the serrated leaves intersected and made a metal sound. They both showed very angry emotions and attacked their kind wildly.
Enzo raised his hand and signaled the rune knights behind him to stop.
"Record it with a crystal ball!"
Looking at the two serrated grasses fighting not far away, Enzo thought for a while, took out a crystal ball from the space ring, injected magic power and activated the image-taking function of the witchcraft props, recording the scene in front of him.
The essence of pioneering tasks is to explore the unknown and record it!
About three minutes passed, and the battle between the two serrated grasses was a result. One of the thinner serrated grasses had two leaves cut off, making a sharp scream, and curled up in shame.
Another serrated grass waving its leaves proudly, like a victorious general.
"Does it mean surrender if you curl up?" Enzo stroked his chin.
The defeated serrated grass curled up for a while, then slowly stretched in one direction, and its roots seemed to be able to arch the soil and move in this way.
The victory of the serrated grass showed no reaction to this.
Enzo's eyes flashed, and some inferences arose in his heart.
"Give me the jar." He ordered Knight Carter, and after taking the jar of serrated grass, he turned over and got off the horse's back and walked towards the open space ahead.
squeak!!
Feeling Enzo's approaching, the serrated grass on the ground screamed, and the four scarred serrated leaves all waved, as if expelling the invaders.
Enzo was unmoved and stopped not far from it.
Immediately afterwards, he transplanted the serrated grass from the jar into the ground soil.
Two serrated grasses appeared in the same area. They suddenly screamed at the same time, then moved hard toward each other, waved the serrated leaves on their bodies, and fought each other very directly.
"It's true!"
Enzo's eyes flashed, he stroked his chin and said to himself, ": Sawgrass has a sense of territory. Any outsider who enters the territory will be expelled and attacked by them, including his peers."
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!
The battle between the two serrated grasses ended soon. The serrated grass, which originally belonged to this territory, was damaged by the leaves on its body just after a battle, so it was naturally no match for the foreign serrated grass.
One of its leaves was cut off, and after curled up to express surrender, it moved in a mess.
Another serrated grass waved its leaves as if celebrating victory, but then it was uprooted by Enzo again and re-transplanted into a jar.
"Come on!" Enzo handed the jar to Carter and ordered.
......
Time passed little by little, and the morning passed quickly.
The pioneer team has entered the depths of the twisted jungle. Along the way, Enzo discovered several new species, but without exception, they are plants.
Among them, there are serrations with waving leaves to attack and strong territorial consciousness!
If an outsider approaches him, he will spray the pine needle spitting flowers!
Even a large area appeared, which looked very ordinary, but was as sharp as a knife when stepped on!
Every time I encounter a new species, Enzo will observe their habits and collect several samples as credentials for pioneering tasks and materials for future experiments.
"Sir, what is that?" said Knight Carter beside him.
A huge tree appeared in front of it.
It has the main trunk as thick as the wheels of a giant carriage, and its green branches continue to extend outwards, forming a huge tree umbrella with vines hanging down on it.
On a branch as thick as an arm, there is a green fruit with a head that is large.
"Let's go and see, be careful!" Enzo looked calm and cautiously down from the horse's back and walked towards the giant tree. Svein was also a little tired at this time, so he turned into a crow and landed on his shoulders.
"It seems that it should not be a smart creature."
Looking at the giant tree in front of him, Enzo scanned it with a chip, but did not find any intelligent biological characteristics, as if this was a very ordinary new plant tree.
"What is this?" Then Enzo looked at the head-like fruit on the branches.
After hesitating for a moment, Enzo drew out the cross sword and slashed the green fruit with one sword.
Click!
The green fruit like a head fell to the ground, and a crack suddenly fell, and the sticky juice flowed out, emitting a smell similar to secretions.
Walking forward, Enzo cuts the fruit with a sword.
"Is this?" Seeing the scene inside the fruit, Enzo's pupils suddenly shrank.
After the green head fruit is cut open, it looks like an animal placenta. A creature that looks like a juvenile crocodile is curled up and wrapped in mucus. The organs of the whole body have basically taken shape.
"Dead?"
Enzo put away the cross sword and grabbed the crocodile creature on the ground, and found that it was no longer alive, as if it was due to the rupture of the fruits as the placenta, causing the death of the undeveloped creature.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Can trees, as plants, breed animals?"
A gloss of thought flashed in Enzo's eyes. The unknown trees in front of him should be the mother of the crocodile creature, and crocodile creatures were nurtured through the fruit as the placenta.
"What a wonderful world!" Enzo sighed again.
Then he took out a container and collected all the dead crocodile creatures on the ground, along with the fruits used as placenta, into the space ring.
"Chip, name this tree: a twisted tree." Enzo ordered in his heart.
The giant tree in front of him is distorted in shape and can nurture life. There are no other characteristics, so Enzo simply named him.
And just then.
"Alarm! Dangerous creatures are approaching, please be careful!"
Just as he named the twisted tree, a chip alarm came from his mind. Enzo's eyes trembled, and he swayed in the jungle behind the twisted tree, and a huge figure crawled out.
Paji!
A ball of green mucus hit, Enzo thought, and the shadow under his feet turned into a shield, blocking the attack of the mucus, making a corrosive sirloin sound.
"Hiss!" In front of me, the creature lying on the ground made a snake-like sound.
However, its appearance has nothing to do with snakes. Its huge body is a bit bloated, with dense eyes on its huge head and covered with tiny green tentacles, as if it was a layer of hair.
"Hundred-eyed worm bear!" Enzo's eyes narrowed and he recognized the creature in front of him.
This is a species endemic to [Eqira World]. Enzo once saw a sample of a 100-layer bear in the lab of the wizard Herbert. This creature looks similar to a bear, and the tentacles covered on the surface are like iron nematodes, and the attack method is to spray corrosive mucus.
"Sir, do you want to kill it?" Knight Carter pulled out the cross sword.
"Be careful." Enzo nodded.
Since there are biological samples of the Hundred-Eyed Bear in Herbert's lab, it is meaningless to capture it again, so I simply solved the monster directly.
Knight Carter drove the iron clawed demon foal and rushed towards the hundred-eyed worm bear.
The battle did not show any intensity. In just one round, Knight Carter cut off the head of the Hundred-Eyed Bear, and a green liquid like a tree sap flowed out from the incision.
Enzo walked forward, pulled out the cross sword, and cut the Hundred-Eyed Bear into the whole.
This kind of creature has no internal organs. Below the surface are blood vessels that are interlaced like rattans. The bones are brittle, like branches that are broken.
After scrutinizing the body of the Hundred-Eyed Bear for a moment, Enzo shook his head.
There are indeed all kinds of wonders in the world. Almost every new species discovered in [Eqira World] subverts Enzo's cognition. As a protophyte, there are no reproductive organs, and almost all relies on trees as mothers to reproduce.
"I wonder if those sons of the forest are also born from trees?"
Enzo stroked his chin and suddenly had such a thought in his mind. As the ruling class of [Eqira World], the son of the forest is the most intelligent race. He not only has language ability, but also has talent to manipulate plants.
"It's getting late, we're camping here."
Then, Enzo looked up at the sky. It was almost evening, so he ordered the knights to camp and prepare to rest in this clearing.
The rune knights dismounted one after another and, under Enzo's order, began to camp on the spot.
Above the twisted forest, the sky gradually dyed a touch of blackness, and night fell quietly. In the clearings of the forest, tents were tied up. The rune knights around them were divided into three teams, each with a leader of the knights taking turns to watch.
In the quiet forest, there is a depressing atmosphere.
"Help...Help..." Suddenly, a faint sound came from afar, like a man's cry, with a hint of despair in fear.
"This sound!?"
The Knight Carter, who was patrolling around the camp, suddenly stood still. His pupils shrank in his eyes, turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came, and said in surprise, "Is it Edmund?"
"Help...who will save me..."
The intermittent voice came again, and Knight Carter's eyes sterned and said in a deep voice, "Emmond and I were graduates of the same Iron Knight Academy. This is his voice, and there is absolutely no mistake!"
Three months ago, the pioneering team exploring the twisted jungle consisted of 31 people.
In addition to the Guardian Wizard Gram, there are three rune knights, and Eimmond is one of them. The rune knight who graduated from the Iron Knight Academy of Fortress Great World, has the combat power of a first-level living body.
The appearance of Eimmond's voice means that clues of the missing pioneer team were found.
In the clearings in the forest, Enzo walked out quickly, and he also heard the sound, and relying on the chip, he became clearer about the direction of the sound.
"Sir, it's Eimmond's voice!"
Knight Carter hurried over and said, ": He was a member of the pioneer team three months ago. He followed Gram's Wizard to the Twisted Forest to carry out exploration missions, but he lost contact with the tower."
"Are you sure it's the Eimmond Knight?" Enzo asked with a frown.
"It's his voice, there's no mistake!" Knight Carter said firmly and said in a deep voice, ": When we were in the Fortress World, we were very good friends, and I graduated from the Iron Knight Academy in the same class, so I am very familiar with his voice."
"Since that's the case, you bring ten people with you and come with me to take a look."
Enzo pondered for a moment, turned his head and ordered, "Eric, Andy, you two and the rest of you are on standby, responsible for guarding the camp here."
"As for the order, sir!" said Eric and Andy, two rune knights.
Then, ten rune knights gathered quickly.
Under the leadership of Enzo and Knight Carter, the team headed in the direction of the sound, and intermittent requests for help continued to come, and as everyone approached, it gradually became clearer and clearer.
"Alarm! Unknown creatures were found ahead!"
The chip alarm sounded in his mind, Enzo slowed down, and a light blue color floated in his eyes. After the night vision function was turned on, through the darkness, a monster appeared in front of him.
"It looks a bit like a crocodile?" Enzo's eyes narrowed.
As the distance gradually narrowed, the scene ahead also appeared in everyone's eyes.
Between the jungle of intertwined trees, a huge monster crawled on a thick twisted tree. It looked similar to a prehistoric giant crocodile, but its limbs were thicker and longer, with bloody mouths open.
"Help...who will save me..."
The crocodile monster's throat trembled, making a man's voice. In the ears of Knight Carter, it sounded exactly the same as the voice of his comrade Eimmond.
"How could this happen?" Carter looked disbelief.
At this time, the crocodile monster on the twisted tree seemed particularly excited after discovering everyone. He opened his bloody mouth and quickly ejected a hot flame.
Enzo frowned slightly, and the shadow shield automatically emerged.
