Chapter 231 Even in the extreme cold, life will find its own way
In these days, individuals can run around anywhere, and there are not so many surveillance cameras in the ninja world. Even if there are, I think It's not easy to find someone who deliberately hides himself.
Otherwise, there would not have been so many missing people every year in the previous life who could never be found.
What's more, this is still the ninja world. Although the Land of Snow is surrounded by the sea, it is still a country after all. It is very difficult to find someone.
So the main purpose of Amamiya Kenichi coming here this time is to get the metal that can absorb chakra. As for the scientist Amamiya Kenichi, he doesn’t have any expectations. It’s difficult to find the other party. It's too high, and he hasn't practiced any tracking ninjutsu.
In fact, even after practicing, it is not easy to find someone. After all, it took them a while to get here. In addition, when the shadow of the Snow Ninja Village discovered that the scientist had escaped is also a question. , in this case it is not easy for a trained ninja dog to come to him.
"Teacher, have you been to the Land of Snow before?" Kenichi Amamiya rubbed his hands. He had to say that the weather in this place was indeed very cold. Although he was prepared in advance, I put on my down jacket, but I still felt a bit cold.
"No, this place is very remote. In the past, we could only get here by boat, and the things that can be traded here in Snow Country are also very common." Orochimaru also changed into a A winter coat, she recorded something while walking.
Amamiya Ken nodded. This is true. The Land of Snow does not look like a place where there are any special products. There is white snow everywhere.
"Huh?" Amemiya Kenichi saw something interesting. Although there was white snow everywhere, there were still some vibrant colors here. He felt his feet as soon as he walked over. He stepped on something sharp and almost punctured his shoe.
If Amamiya Kenichi hadn't reacted quickly, his shoes would have been pierced by the thorns under his feet.
Amamiya Kenyi bent down to push away the snow, and then he saw some dark brown thorns crawling crookedly on the ground, with sharp spikes on them.
“I didn’t expect that plants could still grow in this place in such bad weather.” Orochimaru also came over, and when she came over, Amemiya Kenichi had already peeled off the flowers on the ground. The snow found the source of these thorns.
The green plant blooming in the snow.
These thorns seem to be the plant's defense method. They are densely distributed all around, forming a circular structure.
"Teacher, do you think this plant seems to be carnivorous?" Amemiya Kenichi has already cleared all the snow next to it. There are such sharp thorns on the ground. There is something else besides.
White bones.
It looks like they should be the white bones of some herbivorous animals. One characteristic of these bones is that they are distributed on the top of these thorns, and there is no one outside.
Just by seeing this, Amamiya Kenichi can already think of a picture, that is, on a white snowy day, a herbivore went out to look for food, and then accidentally discovered this plant , it wanted to take a bite, but stepped on a thorn hidden under the snow.
But if this is the case, it should not die here. After all, if an animal is injured, it will definitely want to escape and leave this place, but these bones did not do so.
That can only prove
Amamiya Kenichi bent down and cut the thorns with a knife. Some juice secreted from the section. Amamiya Kenichi carefully scraped it off and collected it to carry with him. in the test tube.
"Do you suspect that this plant has the ability to paralyze the enemy?" Orochimaru looked at this scene and asked. Of course she could guess what her disciple meant. "Well, otherwise there is no reason for these animals not to run away even when they are injured. I can only guess that this plant hides thorns under the snow. When the animals get close and are poked and injured, they will secrete something anesthetic or something that paralyzes the muscles. ." Amamiya Ken nodded.
Only by making the animals unable to move can it be possible for these animals to die in this place.
Amamiya Kenichi picked up the thorn that he had cut off and looked at it. He didn't find anything special inside, such as pipes and the like.
Then the question is, after anesthetizing these animals, how do they digest them?
"Let's do an experiment." The teacher threw over a rabbit, a rabbit that was all white and hadn't woken up yet.
Amamiya Ken nodded, and then pressed the foot of the rabbit caught by the teacher onto the thorns.
It was very silky, and the thorns pierced the rabbit's feet. The rabbit woke up instantly, but before it had time to move, it lay weakly on the ground, and could only twitch from time to time.
Immediately afterwards, Amemiya Kenichi keenly noticed that there were some white things crawling out of the plants, and then swarmed towards the rabbit, and in an instant those things wrapped the rabbit.
"It seems to be a kind of spider. It looks very much like a spider." Amemiya Kenichi grabbed one and looked at it. It was something that looked very similar to a spider. Its body was white, but its mouth was Not big.
"They are injecting digestive fluid into this rabbit." The teacher also squatted down. She had never seen such a strange plant.
“Symbiotic relationship.” Amamiya Kenichi thought thoughtfully. This special insect and this plant seem to have formed a symbiotic relationship. The plant uses its own color and thorns and its ability to paralyze muscles. to catch prey.
After being captured, these spiders will crawl out, then climb onto the prey, inject digestive juices, and then feed the prey. In the end, they will definitely feed back some nutrients to the plants.
The final observation is indeed the case. After these spiders wait for the rabbits to be digested into water by the digestive juices, they start to suck, and their bellies become bulging. Then they crawl back to the plants and eat them. These digestive juices are vomited into it.
They themselves also eat most of the digestive juices, and the plants absorb the remaining digestive juices, and a complete cycle is completed.
“This is really interesting.” Kenichi Amamiya cut some more thorns and planned to take them back to study.
The anesthetic properties of this plant are very strong. This rabbit was almost impaled and could not break free. This can be studied.
And the other party can survive in extremely cold weather. Maybe we can extract some cold-resistant genes from this plant.
Something happened today, two updates for now
