Chapter 1049: Serious Teaching
Everything thriving in the ancient tree forest shocked Feng Ying and others who had just arrived in the New World.
Especially the huge ancient tree that looks like a mountain.
Feng Ying proposed at that time that she wanted to climb to the top of the tree to have a look, but Gordon did not allow it. The investigation area they were responsible for this time did not include the ancient giant tree area, and it was impossible for the Lava Mountain Dragon to climb the tree. Run.
As soon as he came to the wild, Alva became much more active. He collected specimens along the way and kept writing and drawing in his notebook, recording something.
Three new editors followed closely behind him, observing and learning.
Temporarily closing the small shield-like notebook and hanging it by his side, Alva commented to himself:
“I always feel that this forest is quite peaceful? Are there no small predators such as velociraptors? Is it because of the influence of the ancient dragon's breath?"
Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Gordon's face.
“Well, actually, it should be, that’s not the reason. There are quite a lot of thief dragons around here, and big thief dragons can often be encountered.”
"Big Thief Dragon?" Feng Ying was a little confused.
Ai Bo explained to her on the side, "The scientific name is Fierce Jackal. It is a small toothed dragon monster unique to the New World. It lives in groups.
It has a certain degree of sociality, complex feeding habits and greedy. Its leader, the ferocious jackal dragon, can even swallow it in one gulp Herbivorous dragon."
After that, she also marked herself, "The 'big thief dragon' should refer to the fierce jackal dragon, the leader of the group. The above is taken from the "New World Biological Encyclopedia".
“That’s it!” Feng Ying suddenly realized.
The corner of Gordon's mouth twitched, and he wanted to reach out and hit Feng Ying on the head, but after thinking about it, he decided to save her some face in front of her peers, and glared at her instead.
“Although I have my editor partner to help me, I still need to read more books, at least read the illustrations carefully several times, so as not to fail to recognize common monsters when I encounter them.”
“ Oh!" Feng Ying nodded quickly, surprised that she didn't get knocked.
Pork Chop, who was following Gordon, glanced at him, scratched his beard, and muttered in his heart: In the past few years, you have only read that illustrated book, meow.
"In short, you can treat the thiefosaurus as a dog dragon and the velociraptor as a velociraptor. They are pretty much the same in all aspects. The main difference is that the thiefosaurus cannot jump, but its movements are more flexible and its attack points are lower. Please note that Just go down," Gordon added casually.
The three young men are all high-level hunters, and he only needs to explain so much.
Alva, from a perspective that is more in line with ordinary people, taught the editors how to cover up their own scent to avoid being discovered, how to choose suitable plants to hide, how to escape from the pursuit of social monsters, and so on.
Gordon didn't know a lot of knowledge. After all, he had no reason to run away when he saw a small monster.
This made him very glad that he called Alva, otherwise the young editors would not be able to learn anything.
What the hell is "lower R&D"? !
After talking about several knowledge and skills in succession, Alva asked Gordon while the editors were taking notes quickly: "You just said it wasn't 'this' reason, so are there any other reasons that cause the scarcity of ferocious jackals?"
“Well, you guys know "What kind of leather are the casual clothes commonly used by members of the investigation team made of?" Gordon asked meaningfully, "After all, there are so many people here in the fifth phase of the team."
"You guys put this Killed all the ferocious jackals in the forest?" Alva's expression changed dramatically.
This kind of behavior seriously violates the core principles of the Hunter Guild to maintain the balance of nature.
“Ah no no no.” Gordon waved his hand, “Of course we will pay attention to this kind of thing. We only hunt a few of each group and it will not affect the continuation of the population. .
Of course, we will also encounter the big thief dragon among them. We tried our best not to kill them, but just drove them away.
But, you know, monsters can also be frightened. During the time before you came, our hunting operations were relatively frequent, and the thieves were scared away. It is estimated that it will take some time before they are scared. Come back again. ”
Alva opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he couldn’t say anything.
The investigation team’s large-scale hunting of thief dragons to make leather clothing was placed in the Old World It may be questioned, but in the sparsely populated and wild New World, the problem is not big.
“We still have to be careful, we can accumulate supplies slowly, and we can’t ask for too much from nature at once. It’s because we are. There were too many people in the fifth group. "Alva sighed and no longer struggled with this issue.
The group of people continued to explore forward, and the hunters formed a diamond shape, surrounding several compilers with little experience in the field. Alva ran around freely.
Different from the nerd ten years ago, he is now an experienced scrivener, and he has had the experience of observing ancient dragons at close range.
At this time, even if a giant jaw dragon or something suddenly appeared, he would still be confident enough to escape smoothly.
Suddenly, Alva, who ran ahead, lowered his body and raised his fists.
The hunters who received the signal immediately stopped. Gordon made a gesture and quietly went to Alva's side. Feng Ying set up a shield and took Gordon's original position. .
Gordon, who silently came to Alva's side, was about to ask, but noticed that the latter was hiding in the bushes, staring at an injured spiritual deer.
The spirit deer limped to a plant of honey-recovering plant and rubbed the honey-plant with the fur near the wound.
A little bit of slightly sticky honeydew flowed from it and dripped on the wound, and the pollen of the honeyweed also stuck to the spirit deer's fur.
Linglu was obviously feeling better and staggered away.
The honeydew flowing out of one honeyweed is not enough for it to heal. It will look for more honeyweeds, and at the same time, it will carry pollen far away.
Through its nutritious and even healing nectar, honeyweed attracts various organisms, including honey-replying insects, to help them pollinate and spread their seeds.
Under the effect of this simplest and most direct strategy, the honeyweed has a wide distribution range, from the warm and humid southern ancient tree forests to the barren and cold northern mountains, their shadows can be seen.
The existence of the rejuvenating honey grass also greatly reduces the risk of wild animals having difficulty healing after being injured, bleeding, infection and death.
Is this a temptation? use? Or cooperation? No one can define it.
After the spirit deer walked away, Alva stood up from the bushes and sighed from the bottom of his heart:
"In books and papers about the ecology of the New World, scholars frequently mention a concept - this continent has a soul and is alive.
The earth is composed of various plants, animals, and even earth and rocks. , evolving together, forming several incredibly complex and sophisticated ecosystems
As expected. , Only by coming here in person can we truly understand the meaning of this sentence."
Gordon crossed his arms and nodded seriously, but what he was thinking was, "You suddenly asked us to stop and be on guard. For this? To see a spirit deer rubbing honey grass?"
After seeing that the alert was lifted, the hunters on guard gathered from behind.
"What have you found? Any traces of a large monster?" Feng Ying asked, and the serious expression on her face made Gordon stunned.
Alva had a healed smile on his face, "It's just a wounded deer."
"Where is it?"
"Leaved that way."

Feng Ying's expression suddenly changed. She bit her tongue and pulled out the peeling knife, "So that's it. I'll bring it back."
"Wait a minute, that's not what I meant." (End of Chapter)
