A Sturdy Life Begins From Surviving on a Deserted Island

very strange!"

Xiang Mo looked at the tree not far away, and felt that he had really learned a lot.

"Why is there such a strange tree in the world!"

"The world is full of wonders~"

Liu Kun smiled, pointed to the big tree not far away, and said slowly: "Tropical rainforest is the place with the most plants in the world.

There are countless plants here that you can't even imagine.

The one in front of me is one of them.

It is also one of the ten most exotic plants in the world.”

"Top 10 Strange Plants in the World!?"

"Good~

Not only it~

Many of the world's top ten strange plants can be found in tropical rain forests~

If we meet by chance, I'll tell you about it~"

"Then what are we here for?"

"Did you see those little dots?"

Liu Kun raised his hand and pointed to some "dots" on the tall branches.

"See, what is that?

fruit?"

"right!

That's our goal this time - figs!"

"Fig!?"

Xiang Mo was stunned when he heard the words, "I don't read much, so don't lie to me!

I've seen figs, it's not like that!

That is a tree!

No, it looks like something like a vine~"

"This is figs~"

Liu Kun smiled and started to pack up, ready to go up the tree to pick.

"The full name of this fig is the parasitic fig tree.

As the name suggests, it is not the kind of fig that we often see growing into a tree.

It is a special fig that needs to rely on parasites to make fire.

The seeds of these things are some things like millet grains.

They rely on animal excretion to disperse seeds.

Usually monkeys and birds.

Because most monkeys and birds are likely to excrete seeds to trees, and only when these seeds are in the moist moss and rotting leaves left in the cracks of the rainforest branches, can they grow and develop better.

This writing grows slowly, and finally wraps itself around the trunk of the big tree, and the top grows directly above the canopy to get sunlight.

Its roots will also squeeze the trunk, which is no problem in a short time, but after a long time, it will cut off the meridians of the tree, thereby blocking the flow of nutrients in the tree.

Because the rhizomes of these fig trees are entangled, the growth of these parasitic trees is limited.

Over time, these parasitized trees will slowly die due to lack of nutrients.

That's why the parasitic fig tree is also called the tree strangler!"

"Tree strangler..."

Xiang Mo murmured, "This name sounds very murderous!

Not as soft as a name like fig...delicious..."

"Just know to eat!

There are also many varieties of figs."

Liu Kun said and pointed to the "door curtain" not far away.

"Look at the curtain over there, it's also a parasitic fig.

However, it is a rather special kind of parasitic fig~”

"Why is it special?"

"Generally speaking, this parasitic fig will parasitize on another large tree and germinate on the branches of this tree.

However, its roots do not stick to branches.

Instead, it will go down and put its roots into the ground.

Because of the false roots on the branches, the nutrients absorbed do not allow it to get good growth conditions.

So, once the fig tree has completed such a crucial step, it will start to flourish!

Finally kill the main tree, and then grow independently.

This is the major premise.

And the real situation is.

These figs are parasitic on the branches, growing around and hanging down.

However, as the number of entanglements gradually increases, the area that is entangled gradually increases.

Therefore, there are more roots hanging down.

Therefore, it will be very easy to appear this kind of curtain.

However, it's really not easy to grow into what we see now."

"That's it!"

Xiang Mowenyan nodded, and then began to prepare.

She plans to go up to collect figs with Liu Kun later.

"Then you are chasing the golden lion tamarin just for these figs?"

"Yes~

The golden lion tamarin's favorite fruit is figs.

Most of the figs in tropical rain forests are parasitic figs.

Moreover, you have also seen this parasitic fig.

It is a very dense fruit tree.

If the golden lion tamarin wants to avoid my pursuit, it can only run towards this direction.

Only these pillars hanging down from the sky can stop our pursuit.

So, I set up such a plan specially."

"That's it~"

Xiang Mo said with admiration on his face: "You know so much~"

"It's okay~"

Liu Kun said with a smile: "After all, I am a veterinarian and have more knowledge about this animal and plant."

"Then, are there any bugs in this fig?"

"Not necessarily~

When we choose, choose well.

Then I get some medicine to soak it, and there is no problem~

This wild fruit is like this, there is absolutely no way.

After all, there are many insects in tropical rain forests, and there are no pesticides or anything.

Therefore, it is a very normal thing that there are insects in the fruit~”

Liu Kun pointed to a parasitic fig not far away and said, "Also, wild fruits are not necessarily better than cultivated ones.

Look at the figs over there, they are very small.

Moreover, there are many more fruits in the number above.

Obviously because it is not very tasty, there are no animals to eat.

But the one we are going to pick now is different.

It's big and red, and it looks delicious.

The fruit in the wild is like this, some good and some bad, uneven.

However, it's not what was cultivated~"

"That's for sure~"

Xiang Mo nodded again and again, "However, there are so many figs here!"

"It is nature, this fig tree, which produces fruit in all seasons.

So it's the birds, the animals' favorite!"

"Then shall we cultivate some?"

"Let's talk when we go back~

I don't want this parasitic fig, if we can come across a common fig, we'll plant it, and if we don't find it, forget it."

"Good!"

Xiang Mo nodded, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly saw something very interesting.

"Hey, look!"
