Chapter 1638: 1638. Abnormal Growth Rings

After seeing the situation of the white falcon, a group of people were speechless.

The white falcon's slender neck was cut in half, blood gushed out like a fountain, and soon lost too much blood and became weak. He could only barely shake his wings, and he was about to die.

"The tiger cat's claws are so sharp?" Little Marklov shuddered.

Usually he likes to tease Ah Meow, and Ah Meow will scratch him when he is anxious, but at most it will leave a few scratches on his skin. Ukrainian men are not fully evolved, and their body hair is thick, most of the time they are just scratched off Some body hair, no scars actually.

Now he knows, it's not he who teases Ah Meow, it's Ah Meow who teases him!

He looked at Ah Miao, who squinted at him with contempt on his face.

Little Marklov hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed to it: "You are amazing, Mr. Cat, you are the best!"

Li Du took out the ointment he bought from the Blue Ridge Indians. Last time he used it for Abai, and this time he will use it again. This ointment has never been used by other brats.

Ah Bai looked at the sticky ointment and almost cried, why am I the one who gets hurt every time?

This time it was also seriously injured, with one leg broken and probably unable to move for several months.

Brother Wolf bandaged it, and Godzilla emptied a backpack and put it in. The backpack is like a small backpack, and Ah Bai occasionally screams a few times in pain, but other places are also comfortable.

After packing up their things, they went on the road, and the body of the white falcon was also taken with them, and they could roast a bird for lunch.

Today, there is still the problem of yesterday, that is, feeling dizzy after seeing too many folded stones, and there is another problem today, that is, the sky is covered by dark clouds, so without the sun, it is difficult for them to recognize the specific direction when they lose their sense of direction.

Turning around, as if returning to the original point, Li Du became angry all of a sudden, couldn't help but kicked a stone and cursed: "Fake, what's going on?"

Brother Lang said: "This shows that the small islands in the lake are shrinking. In the first half of the 19th century, some geologists put forward a theory of the shrinking of the earth, which means that the earth has been slowly dissipating heat and cooling down since it was formed. It leads to shrinking in size, like a shriveled apple."

"These folds are the result of its contraction?" asked the Great Marklove.

Brother Wolf nodded and said, "It can be said that, but specifically, the large folds span hundreds of kilometers, and they form mountains and valleys, and the small folds are the terrain."

Li Du said: "Well, what then?"

Brother Wolf said: "Just as it takes time for an apple to form folds, the folds on the apple are not synchronized. Similarly, the earth's folds are not synchronized. Where there is intense geological activity, there will be more folds."

"That is to say, the geological activity on Lost Island is very violent, right?" Li Du asked.

Brother Wolf said: "Yes."

Little Marklov took out two apples, he threw one to Godzilla, and ate one himself: "Crack, I just want to know, blah blah, how can we get out of the wrinkle of this rotten apple?"

Brother Wolf said: "It's actually very simple. We all forget that we can rely on A Fei to lead the way in the air. He can't see the wrinkles on the rocks, get lost, and won't get mentally exhausted..."

"Made is such a good idea, why did you think of it now?" Li Du couldn't help but swear.

Brother Wolf sighed: "Because our minds are confused, the wrinkled stone patterns here have a hypnotic effect. If we watch too much and for a long time, the brain's ability to work will be poor."

Li Du and the others first determined the position and found the target, then he pointed at the target, A Fei flew into the air, and it led the way in the air, and they walked towards the target.

Even so, there are many valleys, rocks, and lush vegetation, so they are still easy to get lost. Sometimes they walk around a valley for a while and find that they just turned around and returned to the original road!

Walking in the mountains by footsteps was too slow, and it took another day for them to barely get close to the target position.

In the evening, a group of people found a leeward hillside and set up camp.

After these two days of exploration and the information provided by Elson, there are no large beasts on the island, and there is no danger in camping at night, as long as you avoid small poisonous insects.

Big Marklov led people to spray insect repellant around the camp. Li Dushuo lay down comfortably, almost like yesterday. When he closed his eyes and began to rest, he was still dizzy.

With the lessons learned from last night, the wood they prepared was extraordinarily abundant tonight. The madman saw some withered trees on the road. He cut them down and dragged them all the way. They could be of great use at this time.

The tree is as thick as a human calf and can burn for a while.

Da Ao went to take a few pieces and stroked them, "I'll see if I can make charcoal. If it can be made into charcoal, we can have some barbecue tomorrow... Hey, it's weird!"

"What's wrong?"

Da Ao stared blankly at the tree and said, "Boss, this tree doesn't have annual rings?"

Li Du smiled, this is impossible, every tree has annual rings, which are the changes of the cells and vessels in the tree from large to small, and the material from loose to dense every year, as long as the tree grows through time, it has annual rings.

However, the annual rings are ring patterns with different colors and textures, some are obvious and some are not.

What the madman dragged was a pine tree, which is the most common tree in the cold zone. The growth rings of pine trees are generally very clear, so it is not difficult to see.

Da Ao waved his hand and said, "Boss, come and see, if you don't believe me, come and see, this tree really has no growth rings."

Li Du leaned over to take a look, and he was stunned. The growth rings can be wide or narrow, which is easy to see, but now he doesn't see the existence of the growth rings.

There are also rings on this section of the trunk, but it is not as wide as the annual rings. It is composed of rings, and the whole trunk seems to be made of layers of wood chips.

This is not an annual ring, Li Du was also puzzled, and said: "What's the matter? How can this tree have no annual rings?"

Others picked up other trunk segments to see, same result.

Big Marklov thought for a while, picked up an ax and found a new tree to cut off, then illuminated the cross-section of the trunk with a torch and shook his head: "Same, the trees here are really strange."

Everyone was amazed, and someone said casually: "This may be the growth rings, but because it grows fast and is less affected by the environment, the growth rings are very narrow."

"This is his stupid talk, how could such a thing happen?" Little Mark Love retorted, "It has nothing to do with how fast it grows, it only has something to do with time, unless the years here pass quickly , otherwise how could there be such an annual ring circle?"

They just discussed it inadvertently, and no one paid attention to this, but Li Du was stunned when he heard it: He had a guess, and the little Mark Love might be right!
