The last plant pet took me to be the landlord

A ray of light seemed to represent hope, and everyone held their breath and walked towards the light.

Once out of the cave, the view suddenly opened up and everyone entered a green world.

“Oh my god…this…”

"Am I dreaming?"

"..."

It was extremely cold the moment before, but now it was spring with flowers blooming.

It is really spring and flowers are blooming.

For a moment, everyone thought that what appeared before their eyes was an illusion.

Because the world before our eyes at this moment is a lush forest.

There are tall deciduous trees, evergreen pines and cypresses, low thorns and a plain covered with wild grass and flowers as tall as a person.

After everyone actually touched the branches of the trees, flowers and plants, they finally confirmed that the small forest before them was real.

In the extremely cold weather outside where the temperature is minus 75 degrees Celsius, there is a paradise with spring flowers blooming.

Quite incredible.

Mr. Zhao and his team began to observe the environment nearby, checking the soil, trees and vegetation on the ground.

This is a naturally formed circular tiankeng, surrounded by steep and straight mountain walls. The entire tiankeng area is estimated to be about 70 to 80 acres.

After the soldiers led Mr. Zhao and his men into the forest, they parted the grass and startled a flock of birds. Some were small and brightly colored, while others were large and spread their wings in the wind.

They flew away quickly with the wind.

Lu Bei'er looked up and followed the largest goshawk. It instantly rose high and flew onto a cliff a hundred meters high, where there was a crooked pine tree growing out of a crack in the rock.

The goshawk was perched there, and there seemed to be a giant bird's nest in the lush branches.

Mr. Zhao was also watching the birds flying high in the sky, with a smile on his face, "They are all precious and rare birds! I didn't expect that some of them could be preserved in this special geographical environment!"

"Yes! Who would have thought that there is such a warm place like spring in this sinkhole!" Professor Zhang also sighed, "Teacher, in addition to birds, there should be other rare plants and insects here!"

"Yes!" Mr. Zhao nodded, "What a pity..."

Unfortunately, the time and opportunity are not right.

They have now put all their energy into surviving.

In order to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants, the soldiers took sticks and led the way in front, and Zhao Lao and his men followed behind, squatting down from time to time to check the soil and lush plants under their feet.

The environment here is really good. The surface temperature is around 10 degrees Celsius. The air quality is good, and the scent of grass and trees fills your nostrils.

As soon as Lu Bei'er entered here, Xiangxiang and Xiaolaba jumped off her and ran into the woods to have fun.

However, Lu Bei'er asked them to stay away from the crowd so as not to scare people or be mistaken for snakes and chopped up.

The rock walls around this tiankeng are almost straight up and down, reaching a height of about 100 to 200 meters. Looking up, the sky is like a skylight, with only a layer of snow at the top. Inside, there is no snow at all in such a large area.

This is indeed a bit abnormal.

After a rough inspection of the surroundings, Mr. Zhao and his companions excitedly found a patch of grass in the middle of the tiankeng to sit down and rest, and then he explained to them some of the situations they had discovered after their inspection.

"There should be a huge geothermal energy under the ground, and the surface temperature is about 10 degrees all year round. There are countless caves of different sizes under the surrounding rock walls, and hot air from hot springs blows in all year round, forming an airflow from bottom to top. There is relatively little wind and snow blowing in, and coupled with the temperature brought by geothermal energy, there is no snow here. The climate is warm like spring all year round, which is why these plants are preserved.

The large hailstorm that hit this area back then should have caused quite a bit of damage, but the plants are growing fast, look around here..."

Elder Zhao pointed at the low thorny weeds around them with his long arm, "This patch should have grown later, and it's basically all low plants!"

With this explanation, everything seems to make sense.

No wonder the area before us really looked like a plain, with only half-human-high thorns and various weeds growing on it.

Now no matter whether the plants here are weeds or trees, as long as they are edible, everyone wants to pull them up and bring them back to the camp.

After all, they haven't eaten these green leafy plants for a long time, and many of them have already developed various symptoms of vitamin deficiency, such as dry skin, open lips and fingers, oral ulcers, constipation, night blindness and other major and minor phenomena.

So, next, Mr. Zhao and the soldiers began to discuss how to maximize the benefits of this 70 to 80-acre tiankeng.

Start with common edible wild vegetables, such as dandelions, shepherd's purse, green onion, leeks, dandelions, artemisia annua, artemisia capillaris, artemisia selengensis, amaranth, purslane, etc. that everyone is familiar with, and begin picking them.

Mr. Zhao and his friends also found quite a few slightly precious herbs, but they were reluctant to pick them up just for the time being.

Even if it comes to picking all the edible wild vegetables, it may not be possible to do so in one day.

So, in the next few hours, everyone stared at the large bunch of wild vegetables with green eyes, and they all looked like they would not give up until they had pulled them all into the snakeskin bags they brought and filled up the space of the space users with special abilities.

Not only the soldiers and researchers, but also Xu Meng and Wang He joined the weeding team.

Because many wild vegetables can be eaten directly, everyone would pick a few and put them in their mouths from time to time, chewing them, feeling the unique fragrance of the wild vegetables in their mouths, and couldn't help but sigh with comfort.

Even ordinary thatch tastes slightly sweet in the mouth.

During this period, Wang He seemed to have discovered other good things.

"Look, what did I find? Is this a raspberry?" Wang He was about to put it in his mouth, but Xu Meng, who was standing next to him, pulled him back and said, "Don't eat it blindly! Do you know what this is? Why are you just putting it in your mouth?!"

Professor Zhang happened to be not far away from them. He took a few steps over and took the red, fingernail-sized fruit from Wang He's hand.

"This is snakeberry. People can only eat a little bit. It contains trace amounts of toxins. It's best not to eat it!"

Wang He was a little disappointed when he heard this. "I thought it was raspberries! I was so happy for nothing!"

Xu Meng glared at him angrily, "Can you please stop trying blindly! Have you ever seen raspberries? Just stuff them into your mouth when you catch them! What's wrong with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Meng saw with his own eyes that Professor Zhang put the snakeberry into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and squinted his eyes to taste it carefully.

"Professor Zhang, you..."

Wang He immediately leaned over and asked with sparkling eyes, "What's that smell?"

Professor Zhang answered truthfully: "It doesn't have much taste, but it's still a little toxic. It's just the old snakeberry, nothing special about it!"

Only then did Xu Meng remember Professor Zhang's special ability of tasting plants to determine their properties.

She breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that only Professor Zhang dared to eat the snakeberry casually.

Just at this moment, Lu Bei'er, who was more than ten meters away, waved to Wang He and the others.

"I have spearberries here, which are a type of raspberry! Do you want to come pick some?"

"Where? Where? Are there really raspberries?"
