Chapter 2800 They are all herbivores
If there is no spiritual defense protection, the air waves above the desert during the day will make the beasts sweat. In one night, not only the heat will dissipate, but the bottom temperature will also remain As low as the twelfth lunar month in the north.
The beasts who walked out of the formation disk muttered that the desert was too strange, ran to the pond, fetched water and washed themselves briefly, and then slipped back to the spirit boat.
Young Master Yan and Young Master Xuan also washed themselves briefly with the water in the pond before eating breakfast.
We had solid food for breakfast.
After breakfast we set off again, still heading east.
The spirit boat flew in the dust-filled air. The temperature in the desert slowly rose over time, from the chill in the morning to the heat wave.
The spirit boat has a defensive array that isolates the heat from the sky, and humans and animals are not affected in the spirit boat.
The two young men and the four humanoid beasts were bored. They took turns squatting on the bow of the spirit boat and stared down, calculating how many desert oases they could see along the way.
The spirit boat flew eastward for more than two million miles, and only saw three palm-sized oases or small ponds. After flying for another four million miles, the desert finally appeared from time to time. Dead tree trunks.
Trees in the desert only have main stems. Some have withered for thousands of years and are still standing. Some have been uprooted by the wind and fell to the ground. Some are buried in the sand with only a little exposed. Only a little bit of the body was cut off.
At first, only a few tree trunks could be seen occasionally. After flying for more than two million miles, the dead trees also increased from sparse to dense. Sometimes there were patches of dead woods, and occasionally they could be seen covered by sand. There is no dry riverbed.
Taking the first small oasis where the group stayed last night as the starting point, the spirit boat flew 10.8 million miles, and the desert finally turned into a desert.
A desert is actually a desert, similar in nature to the Gobi. Although it is also an arid place with little rain, it has sparse vegetation.
After transitioning from desert to desert, humans and beasts finally saw sparse drought-tolerant plants.
Seeing the plants in the desert, Xuan Shaoyan and the four humanoid beasts breathed a sigh of relief. The presence of plants showed that the secret realm was not a Jedi!
The desert is extremely wide. Although there are occasional plants, only a small number of small animals survive.
The spirit boat flew eastward for more than a hundred miles, and the plants in the desert became denser. Less than three thousand miles further, a group of Bactrian wild camels appeared!
The Bactrian wild camel is tall. The shoulder height of an adult camel is more than three meters, the body is four to five meters long, and its limbs are as thick as elephant legs. It looks majestic and very tough to mess with.
Herds of camels are scattered everywhere, foraging leisurely.
In addition to the camels, there are also rabbits running around.
Finally seeing the lively animals, the eyes of Yan Shaoxuan and the beasts became bright.
Calabash boy jumped up with excitement: "Camel, camel! There is a camel!"
"Rabbit, there are rabbits!" He has long been craving for braised rabbit heads and dry pot Rabbit's Baiyin also lay down on the light shield of the spirit boat, staring at the fat rabbit moving freely among the plants and camels.
The sound of eagles and water escape made me sip my saliva, and secretly thought about how many camels and rabbits I had to catch to eat.
Mr. Xuan Shaoyan’s eyes were shining, and he was chattering about whether it was easy to catch wild camels and how much to catch without affecting their reproduction.
Le Yun: "..."
She suddenly didn’t know what to say. The first thing the two handsome guys and the beasts thought about when they saw the beasts was always the ingredients, not the food. Is its species a monster or a wild beast, and what is its combat effectiveness.
They are all a group of children who have had a very smooth life and have never been beaten by the reality of the world of immortality.
If it weren’t for the fact that they were still in the reconnaissance environment, the little Loli would even want to kick the handsome guy and the humanoid beast down, so that they can experience life among the beasts.
The spirit boat continues to fly.
There is no end in sight of the desert. At the same time, there is no end in sight of the camel herds. Countless wild camels are distributed in the vast desert, foraging for food and standing. Stand, and some even lie down to rest.
After flying for more than two thousand miles, the number of Bactrian camels became sparse, and groups of dromedary camels, as well as bison, sheep, and horses appeared.
Cattle include wild buffaloes and oxen; sheep include antelopes, goats, gazelles and takin, as well as sheep and wildebeest.
Wildebeest is not a horse, but a sheep. Because it has a horse-like face and long horns, it is called wildebeest.
The horses include wild horses, deer horses, and zebras.
The herd is very harmonious and mixes with each other, mainly because they have different habits. Some like to eat medium-high plants, and some eat low plants. There is no conflict in the food interest chain.
The number of each kind of beast is also countless. Looking from the distance on the spirit boat, I can see the flesh of a Tuotuo moving in the distance, extending to the sky.
Now, Young Master Xuan Shaoyan also noticed something strange.
There are too many herbivores!
Moreover, there were only herbivores and no carnivores.
If there are no carnivores to restrain herbivores, it means that the biological chain is out of balance. When herbivores reproduce without limit, the population size will increase, and the demand for food will also increase, and the living habitat will definitely not be able to supply them. Food needs.
When the food supply is insufficient, the herds will eat plant roots or bark in order to survive. When the vegetation is over-gnawed, the recovery speed cannot keep up, and the land will become desertified on a large scale.
The spirit boat flew unswervingly in the air, and the distance between herbivorous animals in the desert became longer and longer, and the number of the herds increased.
The desert is more than a million miles wide, and connected to the desert is the savanna.
The savanna is also full of herbivores, with more species than the herds in the desert. There are also herds of birds that are mainly vegetarians, and there are even extremely adaptable animals that live in the forest. Forest elephants can survive in plains or grasslands, and foxes can occasionally be seen.
In the rivers of deserts and savannas, apart from animals like hippos that love water, the most common ones are herbivorous fish, and they are overcrowded.
There are no carnivorous crocodiles or piranhas.
There are winged herbivorous birds flying in the sky, herbivorous animals running on the land, and herbivorous animals swimming in the water.
Young Master Xuan Shaoyan was so breathless.
The huge population of herbivores, a small population per thousand miles, is more numerous than the large combination of African animal migrations on the earth.
If there are so many herbivores, if they are not curbed, they will multiply uncontrollably and eat up all the vegetation sooner or later, thus turning the entire secret realm into a desert.
"Little Lolita, there are only herbivores and no carnivores in this place, something is wrong."
"Little beauty, could it be that there used to be monsters from some immortal sects here? Animal breeding farm?"
The tacit understanding between Xuan Shaoyan and Shao Yan is getting better and better. They don't speak when they are not talking. If they want to speak, they will say something to me.
"Judging from the type of the secret realm, this is not a monster breeding farm. What is the reason for such evil effects? You should be able to find the answer by running around the secret realm once or twice."
Le Yun was not panicked at all: "When the reason is figured out, you can hunt. Whether you can collect enough food depends on your hunting ability."
"Wow, little Fairy, can we free our hands and feet to hunt?" The beasts were more excited than having chicken blood.
What evil intentions can the beasts have? They just want to collect ingredients to satisfy their appetites.
“Yes, of course the hunting rules still need to be abided by, over-hunting is not allowed, and certain species of animals must be ensured not to be harmed.Genocide. "
Le Yun can already imagine the catastrophe that the beasts will face in the future, but she will not be soft-hearted because she cannot bear to slaughter the beasts. Otherwise, when the secret land turns into a desert, genocide will be waiting for them.
“Understood! "
The four humanoid beasts clapped their chests and promised.
Young Master Xuan Shaoyan was also eager to try. It was a good thing to collect a lot of food. It would be even better if it could be brought back to the earth. !
Because they knew in advance that they could hunt, the four humanoid beasts no longer felt bored. They squatted on the bow of the spirit boat, observing the herd of beasts, and chirping together how many beasts there were within one mile. How many hunts are there?
The savanna can also be said to be a savanna plain. It is very wide and stretches for more than three million miles from west to east. There are also mountains in it. The height of the peaks is about 5,000 feet. The widest area of forest coverage is 10,000 to 20,000 miles in length and breadth.
To the east of the savanna are hills. Low hills of various sizes are scattered on the plains. The forest coverage rate is extremely high. , continuous virgin forests have become the norm.
The plains and hilly areas are also full of herbivores, as well as white swans and gray geese of the family Anatidae, which mainly live on aquatic plants. There are also many other large-format birds that eat both vegetarian and meat-eating species, and there are also many types of small birds.
The terrain of the hilly plains has also gradually increased from west to east.
>
When the spirit boat flies in a straight line, the hills extend from west to east to about 600,000 miles. As the terrain changes again from high to low, the transition zone is about 5,000 miles wide, and there is another great plain to the east.
About 900,000 miles east of the Great Plains, there are hills again. The height of the peaks gradually increases, from more than a hundred feet to tens of thousands of feet. The terrain changes from hills to mountains.
The mountainous area is about hundreds of thousands of miles wide, and beyond that is the plateau, which rises suddenly, with overlapping mountains, undulating mountains, and criss-crossing canyons.
The peaks of the plateau are more than ten thousand feet high. .
After passing the mountainous area with relatively neat peaks, the spirit boat flew southward and found the southern end of the plateau. It rested for one night and then flew around the plateau the next day to survey the plateau. Topography.
Arriving at the area with undulating mountains, Xuan Shaoyan inevitably became nervous. Generally speaking, large mountain ranges are dominated by monsters, while secret realms are closed environments with more high-level monsters.
Then, the spirit boat flew from the outside of the mountain range to the inside, flying around the plateau without even noticing the shadow of a high-level monster.
Le Xiao The classmate drove the spirit boat and flew around the plateau from the outer circle, then flew around the middle circle, and then formed a cross-shaped route from west to east and from south to north. The detailsThe topography of the plateau was surveyed.
The plateau is more than 97 million miles long from east to west and more than 134 million miles wide from north to south. It has a basin to the west, a small plain to the south, and mountains to the north, extending all the way to the north.
Its easternmost side is bounded by the invisible mask of the secret realm. Between the invisible mask and the plateau is also a plain of hills, about three million miles long from east to west.
After surveying the length and width of the plateau and figuring out the surrounding terrain, Le Yun had a good idea and camped beside a river in the plain to the north of the plateau.
In order to understand the terrain, she flew back and forth several times. Finally, she flew halfway along the center line of the plateau from south to north, and the sky was already dark.
By the time the spirit boat landed, it was already night.
After finding a place to stay overnight, Mr. Xuan went to prepare dinner.
The little Loli spread out a piece of silk and began to draw a topographic map.
