Chapter 34: Discovering a rare plant, the flower of the underworld?

Xu Yang was carrying a bag of chaga mushrooms and looking around.

He is looking for the right location.

"I'm going to go deeper into the mountains. I never expected to come across a birch forest here. It's quite magical."

"So, I have to find a place to put these Chaga mushrooms, and then take them away when I return."

"After all, it would be very tiring to carry more than ten kilograms of stuff all the time. Walking in the mountains is uphill and downhill, which consumes a lot of physical energy."

As he spoke, Xu Yang climbed to the top of a nearby tree and hung the cloth bag on the tree.

He noted the coordinates on his phone.

Because of the drone, the map positioning on his mobile phone is very accurate and there will be no deviation, so there is no need to worry about not being able to find it.

Seeing Xu Yang hanging chaga on the tree, many netizens immediately became interested.

[Host, aren't you afraid that the mushrooms you worked so hard to collect will be stolen? ]

【Who wants to join me in stealing tree mushrooms? 】

[It's funny to find it's gone when I come back! 】

【Aren’t you afraid of losing it? 】

After seeing everyone's confusion, Xu Yang smiled and said:

"Don't worry, this mountain is very big. Let me put it this way, I have been working in the mountains for so long and have never met other mountain hunters in the mountains."

"So there's no need to worry about someone coming over."

"Even if you see my live broadcast, you don't know my coordinates here, so you won't be able to find me."

"The trees in the mountains all look the same, so it's almost impossible to find this place by looking at the picture."

When mountaineers are out in the mountains, if the things they pick are too heavy, they will either go back directly or hide them and pick them up on the way back.

The probability of being discovered by others is very, very low.

Xu Yang hung the birch mushrooms high up on the tree, and he specifically picked a tall red pine, as most people wouldn’t look up at the top of a red pine.

After hanging the chaga, Xu Yang put on his backpack and continued walking into the mountains.

The road is not easy to walk on.

But Xu Yang has gotten used to it.

There are still a lot of people in the live broadcast room.

Netizens were very curious about him and wanted to stay here and watch for a while.

After walking for about an hour, Xu Yang found a place full of Chinese herbal medicines.

These Chinese herbal medicines are very common. The Changbai Mountains are a Feng Shui treasure land and are very suitable for the growth of Chinese herbal medicines, so Xu Yang just looked at them and did not pick them.

Xu Yang took out a paper map, marked his location, and chose to use the treasure hunting compass.

After a scan, the system marked a location on the map, and Xu Yang walked towards the marked location.

When he walked over and took a look, Xu Yang was a little surprised.

It is not a mountain product that can be picked, but it is also a rare and good thing.

Xu Yang immediately squatted down and looked carefully.

Seeing his expression, netizens also knew that this was another discovery.

【Old Xu, what did you discover? 】

[Why do I feel that your mountain-running is different from others! ]

[It's normal. The anchor went into the deep mountains. Many anchors who went to the mountains were posing for photos or stayed near the village. How could there be treasures? ]

【what exactly is it? 】

Everyone was very curious.

The drone is shooting forward.

Netizens saw a white plant growing in the pile of fallen leaves on the ground.

This plant looks like a flower, but everything from the flower stem to the flower is white, which is really magical.

The flowers are generally white, and the rhizomes are mostly ordinary green.

This kind of flower, even its rhizome is white, is the first time we have seen it.

"This is called the Crystal Orchid. It is very, very rare and only grows in dark forests."

"The crystal orchid is a saprophyte that relies on rotting leaves for nutrients. The plant has no chlorophyll, so it appears white."

"It also has another name, 'Flower of the Underworld'."

"If you know more, you will find that there are many strange and bizarre plants in nature."

“They are all very distinctive.”

Xu Yang squatted down and carefully admired the crystal orchid, while also providing scientific knowledge to netizens.

Flower of the underworld?

This is the first time that everyone has heard such a description. Isn't the flower of the underworld the red spider lily?

[The whole plant has no chlorophyll? No wonder it is white! 】

[It’s the first time I see all-white flowers, so rare! ]

[You can learn a lot from watching this anchor's live broadcast! 】

[I'm really amazed. There is such a thing. Can I raise it myself? I want to raise a few! ]

Xu Yang continued to explain:

"The Crystal Orchid is very famous. It only grows in rotten plants. It is not very conspicuous during the day, but it emits a faint white light at night."

"It's broad daylight now, so we can't see anything. But if it were a dark night, we would be able to see the crystal orchids glowing."

“Everyone can imagine a scene like that.”

"It is very beautiful, very dangerous, and was born from death, so it is called the flower of the underworld."

"As far as I can remember, there are four kinds of flowers that are called flowers of the underworld. They are the mandala, the red spider lily, the crystal orchid, and the poppy."

“They all have their own characteristics.”

Xu Yang looked for a while and then stood up.

The second time the treasure hunt compass located the crystal orchid, a first-class national protected plant that cannot be picked.

Xu Yang would never destroy this plant which has no medicinal value.

It's nice to just grow in the forest.

"You'll encounter a lot of good things when you go up the mountain."

“It’s meaningful to meet them.”

"When the time comes, I'll edit it into the video so more people can see it."

Xu Yang continued his journey into the mountains.

It is also a unique experience to encounter the crystal orchid.

He continued to walk deeper, and soon a long and narrow river appeared in front of him.

Xu Yang stood by the river and observed. The river bottom was covered with pebbles and the water looked particularly clear.

"There is no shortage of water in Changbai Mountain. All this water flows down from Tianchi Lake. It is extremely clean and is real mountain spring water."

"During this season, mountain herders don't need to bring water when they go into the mountains, they only need to bring water bottles."

"You can drink river water directly. Of course, it's better to boil it before drinking. But if you're hiking in the mountains, you don't have to be so particular."

Xu Yang explained.

Netizens looked into the river.

Everything in the river is in sight.

The water seems completely transparent, with only a few ripples showing different light and shadows under the light, outlining the shape of the river.

【The river water is really clear! 】

[Host, I want to ask, can you see the porters of Nongfu Spring here? ]

[Yes, didn’t they say they don’t produce water, they are just nature’s transporters? Have you seen it? ]

Netizens asked jokingly.

Xu Yang continued on his journey, looking for mountain products in the mountains.

Occasionally he would see a few Ganoderma lucidum plants on the tree, and he would pick them and dig out a few Polygonum multiflorum.

We stopped and walked along the way and gained a lot.

Walking along the river, there is a large flat area in front of us with fewer trees.

This area looks really good and is a rare treasure in the deep mountains.

Xu Yang immediately chose to use the treasure hunting compass.

But at this moment, a rustling sound was heard.

Then, Xu Yang heard another cute voice.

He turned around and saw the mother leopard and her cub slowly walking out from the tall grass.

The little leopard is still small and cute, and looks silly.

The female leopard has a strong body and evenly distributed fur, except for the hair on its hind legs which is a little messy, and it looks like it has just recovered from an injury.

Xu Yang recognized at a glance that these were the two leopards he had rescued.

He looked happy.

What a fate!
You can find them all here.

At this time, the drone's camera was shooting towards the two leopards.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were so frightened that their faces changed.

Is that a leopard?
What a big leopard!
