The first thousand four hundred and thirty-five chapters of another world (150)(2/2)

Pang Xiaonan was carrying Professor Lima's experimental box on his back and carrying Wu Yongqiang's sniper rifle. This weight was not at all hindered by his book, and his steps were solid and powerful.

As he walked, Pang Xiaonan found that the surrounding scenery had changed again, the grass under his feet became greener and greener, and the tall trees appeared again in his eyes.

"Are you going back to the tropical rainforest?" Pang Xiaonan stopped as he watched the surrounding plants grow taller and taller, feeling that he was going to return to the environment two days ago.

Even though the environmental changes exceeded that of Hallelujah Star Continent, the rapid environmental changes in New Bloss made Pang Xiaonan feel suspicious, wondering whether he had gone in the wrong direction and went back.

Pang Xiaonan put the box and sniper rifle on his back on the ground, then meditated and entered into a state of meditation, opened his spiritual consciousness, released his spiritual consciousness around him, and tried his best to explore to see if he had gone wrong in his direction.

What made him feel at ease was that his direction was not wrong, but at the same time it also surprised him that the trees in the distance were indeed flourishing.

And Pang Xiaonan's intuition told him that he was almost at the center of New Bloss.

After figuring out where he was, Pang Xiaonan no longer felt suspicious, put on his bags again and continued to move forward.

Not long after walking, Pang Xiaonan saw a strange tree from afar, with thick trunks, short branches and few leaves. It looked like the tree had grown and the roots were facing the sky.

There are big fruits hanging on the tree, as big as winter melons.

"Is it a bakery tree?" Pang Xiaonan's mind showed a tall image of the bakery tree, which was indeed very similar, "No, it should be a bakery tree."

Thinking of this, Pang Xiaonan accelerated his pace and ran towards the bread tree. He hadn't drunk water for a long time and hadn't eaten for a long time. Although Pang Xiaonan can support a lot of time with spiritual energy, if there is something to replenish, why not do it?

Pang Xiaonan jumped to the root of the bread tree with one step, then exerted force with both hands, and climbed up the tree like a monkey, and soon reached the fruit as big as a winter melon.

Pang Xiaonan grabbed the fruit and pulled it hard, and the fruit came into his arms. Then he jumped and jumped from a branch that was more than ten meters above the ground.

The winter melon-like fruit turned yellow, but Pang Xiaonan knew that the skin was not edible, so he raised his right hand and cut the fruit with a knife. The fruit cracked with a slight sound, revealing the white melon sac inside.

Pang Xiaonan stretched out his hand, grabbed one of the melon sachets, put it in his mouth and chewed it heavily, "Well, it's sweet and delicious." It was indeed a baobab tree. Pang Xiaonan made it next to the roots of the tree, and while eating baobab bread, he remembered the legend of the baobab tree.

The baobab tree looks very strange, and there is an ancient legend about it: when the Pobabu tree "settled up" in the tropical region, it did not obey the arrangements of "God" but chose the tropical savanna, which angered "God" and uprooted it. From then on, the Pobabu tree fell to the ground and turned into a strange "backplanting tree".

Baobabs are one of the old birthday stars in the plant world. Even in the arid and harsh environments of tropical savanna, their lifespan can reach about 5,000 years. According to relevant records, some of the oldest Baobabs of the Black Nons have lived for 5,500 years.

Since local folklore says that Baobab is a "holy tree", it is protected by people. The reason why Baobab is called a holy tree is also an allusion.

There is a large island called Monkey Island far away from China. A long time ago, there was a young man named Harrison on the island. His parents died very early, leaving him and his younger brother to depend on each other. Harrison was both diligent and optimistic. He farmed himself, raised chickens, and did some carpenter work whenever he had time, and took it to the town to sell. Although life was hard, it was still acceptable.

But this year, a drought occurred on Monkey Island, and all the crops planted by Harrison died of drought. The family's stored grain was quickly eaten up, so Harrison had to sell the chickens, but the grain sold for the chickens was not enough for a few days, and another grain was gone. Harrison thought for a while, and had to make a batch of wooden bowls and spoons overnight, and sold them to the town early the next morning. However, in this drought, every household had poor harvest, so who had money to buy things? So, for a whole day, Harrison only sold a set of bowls and spoons. He used the money he earned to buy two cheapest breads, and hurried home.

In order to get my brother to have dinner early, Harrison decided to take a shortcut to go home. If nothing unexpected happens, he will climb over a mountain and pass through a forest. Well, he should be able to arrive before dark. Harrison was walking carefully when he suddenly heard someone shouting under his feet. "Help, help!" "Help!"

Harrison leaned over and was surprised to see two ring-tailed lemurs hanging upside down under the cliff! Now, one lemur is hooking his feet against the vine branches on the edge of the cliff, hanging his head down in the air, and holding the tail of another lemur in his hand.

The vine branches were short and thin, and were almost broken. "Don't move, don't move, wait for me to pull you up." As he said that, Harrison put down his backpack, lay down to the edge of the cliff, and reached out to grab the lemur's legs. But after trying several times, it was almost impossible to reach. Harrison gasped and calmed down, and his eyes turned and had an idea: "Shake your tail over and give it to me, slow down, your tail is upright, grab it, grab the monkey below, I'll pull you up, one, two, three, go!"

Harrison grabbed the lemur's long tail and threw both monkeys onto the path. "Thank you." The bigger monkey said to Harrison, and the little monkey also jumped over and hugged Harrison's arm and rubbed it, "Thank you for saving your brother and me."

As soon as he finished his work, he heard the little monkey saying behind him, "Can I eat this?" Harrison thought for a while, took out a piece of bread and handed it to the little monkey and said, "Is it okay to give you a piece? The remaining piece is my brother's supper today and lunch tomorrow." The little monkey took the bread and started eating it in big mouthfuls. The monkey brother turned his head and said to Harrison, "My brother was naughty. He fell off the cliff and hung up all day, but didn't eat anything. He was really hungry. Thank you for giving it your bread. Don't worry, if you saved our brothers, I will help you brothers."

The two monkeys lived in the woods in front, and followed Harrison along the way. The three of them went down the mountain and walked into the woods.

The trees in this forest grow strangely, with thick trunks, short branches, and few leaves. They look like the tree has grown and fallen and the roots are facing the sky. Locals say that these trees are blossoming and bear fruit underground and planted by fairies underground, so few people dare to come here. "There is my home in front." The monkey brother stretched out his hand. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen lemurs of all sizes on the trees in front and on the stones under the trees. The little monkey cheered and ran over quickly.

"Hello, young man, thank you for saving my two great-grandsons. I heard that you and your younger brother have troubles recently. Don't worry, the fruits produced in this woods are as delicious as bread. From now on, you brothers will come here to pick fruits and eat them." After that, the monkeys stuffed Harrison's backpack with fruits. The fruit was yellow and looked like a big bread.

Harrison thanked him skeptically. When he returned home, he and his brother broke the shells and tasted the white flesh. Well, the taste was good. Later, Harrison discovered that the fruit was roasted on the fire and tasted exactly the same as bread. Harrison told this incident to other people who could not eat due to drought. Everyone called this life-saving tree a bread tree, and because it was told by monkeys, it was also called a baobab tree.

The climate of the savanna is hot all year round, with obvious dry and wet seasons, and there is little rainfall during the dry season. In order to survive the dry season, baobabs try hard to absorb water during the rainy season and store it in the fat tree trunks.

Its xylem is like a porous sponge, which contains a lot of water. In drought, it becomes an ideal source of water for people. It once provided life-saving water for many people traveling on tropical savannas and rescued travelers who were dying due to thirst. Therefore, it is also called the "Tree of Life". Because monkeys and Arabian dog-faced baboons like to eat their fruits, people also call it "Baobab".

However, the baobab trees discovered by Pang Xiaonan are much larger than the legendary baobab trees. The crown is dozens of meters in radius, and there are countless fruits on it.

Thinking of the trunk of the baobab tree containing a lot of moisture, Pang Xiaonan walked to the trunk of the baobab tree, pulled out a spirit stone flying knife and inserted it into the trunk.

A clear spring gushed out, and Pang Xiaonan quickly put his mouth over. The juice was poured into Pang Xiaonan's mouth like a clear spring, which was clear and cool, a bit like a mountain spring, with a faint sweetness.

Pang Xiaonan greedily sucked the sweet water until the juice in the trunk no longer oozed out. He walked to the other side of the trunk and stabbed it again. The transparent juice was sprayed out again, and he drank it hard for a while.

A baobabobacillus had filled Pang Xiaonan's stomach. He wanted to take one on the road, but then he thought that there was enough things on his body. Although this baobabadobacillus was not very heavy for him, it was still quite troublesome to carry it. So he stopped climbing the trees to pick it up, but just picked up the kettle on his body and filled it with a pot of sap, and then he had enough food and drink to prepare to go on the road.
