Chapter 389 Staghorn Fern and Wangtian Tree

Chapter 388 Staghorn Fern and Wangtian Tree
"Hey, it's finally time to see the sun again."

After walking through the underground river for nearly four hours, Feng Tiance felt that this project is not suitable for people with "claustrophia" to play, it is really a test of people's nerve strength!
After turning off the emergency light on the bow and the miner's light above his head, Feng Tiance carefully watched ahead.He also didn't know what would greet him after leaving the cave?
There must be no flowers and applause, and there may not be a few bullets fired from the shadows!
"Wolf one, wolf seven, jump down."

When the boat was about to leave the cave, Feng Tiance jumped into the river first, and then he called the two hounds to jump down too.He planned to follow the small wooden boat before exiting the cave, so that he would have time to prepare in case of an ambush.

One person and two dogs were soaked in the river water at this time, swimming behind the boat.At the moment of exiting the cave, Feng Tiance pushed behind the boat, and the boat accelerated and rushed out.

"Plop. Plop. Plop."

The expected ambush did not exist, but the small drop after exiting the cave caught Feng Tiance by surprise.Both he and the two hounds splashed a lot of water, and the unmanned small wooden boat undoubtedly capsized
Since the drop is not big, it is less than two meters, and the dark river flowing out of the cave has formed a rather large deep pool here, so it will not be injured.

While observing the surrounding situation, Feng Tiance turned the small wooden boat over and pushed the boat to the shore.The two hounds also followed, shook the water off their bodies as soon as they landed, and then ran to investigate the situation.

The same was true for Feng Tiance, who ran towards a dense bush with his whole body wet, and quickly hid his figure.

"This is a deep mountain canyon"

Looking around, the terrain here began to spread along the pool water, gradually widening.The dark river formed a deep pool here, and then the pool water flowed out to form a small river running to the distance.

From this angle, it is difficult to see the whole picture of the canyon.But the opposite mountain is extremely steep, it is really a cliff.Feng Tiance knew that this should be a fault landform, just like the tiankeng in the back mountain of Xiegu Village.

After waiting for less than half an hour, the two hunting dogs who were searching around came back.It seems that there is no danger for the time being, neither people nor large beasts.

Feeling wet and uncomfortable, Feng Tiance asked two hounds to guard nearby.He entered the space, changed his clothes, and brought some food before he came out.

"Let's go and have a look."

Feng Tiance led Lang Yi and Lang Qi through the deep pool, and followed the small river to find a place to cross over.But unfortunately, the width of this small river is basically between eight and ten meters, and the possibility of jumping over it is unlikely.

I had no choice but to go back to the deep water pool again and cross the river by the small wooden boat before.

Going down the river, Feng Tiance saw that the terrain in the valley was getting wider and wider.At this time, he was not in a hurry to dock, and first took a boat to look at the overall terrain of the canyon.

After walking for a long time, the valley slowly began to close, and the terrain gradually narrowed.It was not until he could clearly see that the river flowed into another cave again that Feng Tiance docked the small wooden boat on the opposite bank.

Roughly estimated, the length of the entire canyon is more than one kilometer, the widest part is nearly one kilometer, and the narrowest part is only tens of meters.The topography of this valley is like a big gourd with small ends and a large middle.

Therefore, Feng Tiance named this place "Gourd Valley".

Calabash Valley is surrounded by mountains and there is no way out.To put it bluntly, this is actually a tiankeng, a super-sized tiankeng.

"Where did those guys who escaped go? Didn't they continue to get into the dark river in the cave?"

With his mind full of questions, Feng Tiance began to search the entire valley carefully.In the middle of the wide Gourd Valley, there is a not very dense forest, and there is really a small wooden house hidden in it.

There was no one in the wooden house. Judging from the traces in the house, no one should have been here for a long time.

In the afternoon, Feng Tiance came to the conclusion that this dark river was just an escape route for those guys, and they didn't intend to use this place as a hidden camp.

Apparently, they took the boat directly across the canyon and continued into the cave.

For Feng Tiance, it was not his goal to track down those guys, and after such a long time, he might not be able to catch up.

Most importantly, when he returned to the vicinity of the deep water pool, he found a lot of ferns on the dark and damp hillside.

"Oh, what a surprise! I saw so many staghorn ferns."

Staghorn fern is very rare in China and belongs to the second-class national protected plants.This plant is also a rare species in the southeastern peninsula, and the wild staghorn fern is also endangered.

The economic value of this kind of fern is not too high, and it is an epiphytic ornamental plant.However, its ecological value and research value to the entire forest are extremely high and cannot be measured by money alone.

At this time, there are still a few hours before dark, just to collect some more plant samples.

"Nineteen. 27.63. [-]. One hundred and nine."

In the process of collecting staghorn ferns, there are endless surprises.All kinds of rare ferns kept appearing in front of Feng Tiance.When the collection work came to an end, he took a detailed inventory of today's harvest: a total of 130 and seven kinds of ferns were collected.Among them, there is one class I protected plant, seven second class protected plants, and the others belong to the third class protected plant.

The first class of protected plants is wild spinosa, and there is actually a small forest of spinosa here.Alsophila spinulosa is the only woody fern in the world and is extremely precious.

To be honest, today's harvest has greatly exceeded Feng Tiance's expectations.He secretly rejoiced in his heart that those guys who illegally felled precious trees only recognized money in their eyes.For these rare ferns, they dismissed them.

That's why these invaluable wild ferns are so well preserved.

He first put these collected plants into the space, and found a dark and humid place in Nanshan to cultivate them.

There are more than 100 varieties, the workload is very small, and it didn't take long to complete.

He plans to multiply these precious ferns in large quantities in his forest farm in the future.These plants play a vital role in ecological integrity.Therefore, his gains from this trip are also of great benefit to the future development of the forest farm.

Coming out of the space, he returned to the other side by boat and continued to search.

The opposite bank may be better exposed to sunlight, which can barely be regarded as the sunny side.

Since ferns do not like sunlight and tend to grow in dark and humid places, there are basically not many ferns here.

But soon another surprise appeared in front of him.In the middle of the valley, he found a towering tree.The height of the tree definitely exceeds 70 meters, and the diameter at breast height exceeds 150 centimeters.

"This is the Wangtian tree!"

The information of this tree quickly came to mind, which is also a precious tree species.Moreover, when he saw this sky-watching tree, he suddenly thought of the original tree in the space for some reason, the charm between the two is very similar.

The sky gradually darkened, and after he collected some branches of the Wangtian tree, he stopped today's search work.There are still many places in the valley that have not been checked in detail, so we can only wait until tomorrow.

Putting the collected branches of Wangtian tree into the space, Feng Tiance brought Lang Yi and Lang Qi to the opposite bank again.He planned to spend the night in "Gourd Valley" tonight, and for the time being, use the wooden house he found as a temporary camp.

After a brief cleaning of the wooden house, Feng Tiance entered the space.He plans to cut the collected branches of Wangtian tree to the nursery base, then catch a few rabbits, and then catch a few fish for dinner.

The cuttings of this branch will be finished soon.He left a branch in his hand, and he wanted to plant a sky-watching tree near the space-native tree.

The original tree in the space has already grown into a towering tree, taller than the sky-watching tree in Calabash Valley.

Feng Tiance felt that when the time came, the Wangtian Tree would also grow up, and the two extremely tall trees would complement each other, which would be considered a spectacle in the space.

At a place less than 500 meters away from the original tree, he cut the branches of this Wangtian tree in the ground and watered it with the magic well water.

"Crash. Crash."

When he put down the bucket in his hand, the native tree suddenly moved without wind.The branches and leaves all over the tree swayed like this, making a rattling sound, which actually had a special rhythm.

Feng Tiance felt that this native tree seemed to grow taller in an instant, and the shape of the tree also changed subtly.

What is it like?

In his memory, this native tree was inconspicuous when it was a young sapling.But looking at it now, it has golden leaves, a tall tree trunk that is entwined with vines and stretches straight to the sky, and a majestic tree crown that looks like a giant umbrella covering the sky.

There are many green epiphytes on the trunk, which are very similar to staghorn ferns, and the large white flowers dotted among them are probably ghost orchids.

It is like the ancient ginkgo tree in the Tiankeng behind Xiegu Village, the Huagai tree under the Wenshan geological fault, and the Wangtian tree in Hulu Valley.

"Crash. Crash."

At this moment, all the trees in the space began to sway their branches according to the rhythm of this native tree.The soft sound of the leaves colliding unexpectedly converged into a magnificent symphony at this moment, resounding throughout the world.

Closing his eyes, Feng Tiance felt all this quietly.

Different plants in every corner of the space flashed in his mind one by one, no matter trees, shrubs or other herbaceous plants, they were all dancing.

Then, the sky-watching tree in Calabash Valley and the ancient ginkgo tree in the Tiankeng of Daqingshan also appeared in his mind with the same posture and rhythm.
