    A month later, the green wood had grown to 1 meter high, and its roots reached 4 meters deep, which can be described as rapid growth.  In this month, it only rained three times in the jungle, and the rainfall was not heavy.  The jungle has almost exhausted its stored water. When the rain comes, it will work hard to store water and save it for later use.  As he grew up day by day, Aoki found that his mental scanning range was constantly extending, without him having to deliberately exercise.  It started out as a single line extending 50 meters and all sides extending 20 meters, but now it has grown to a single line extending 60 meters and all sides extending 22 meters.  The clearly visible growth in ability gave Aoki infinite confidence.  However, as the weather gradually dried up, Aoki also discovered a crisis of survival.  In plants, there is a water supply balance system, which is simply the balance between water absorption and utilization.  For example, trees extract water from their roots and transport it to their branches and leaves, which have two uses for this water.  The first is photosynthesis, which consumes water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and organic matter.  The second purpose is plant transpiration: this water is emitted through stomata (not limited to leaves) to adjust the temperature difference between the air and the plants to avoid high temperature burning. This water accounts for more than 90% of the water absorbed by the plants.  In the past, it rained almost every day, so there was no need to worry about water shortage, but now it doesn¡¯t. Since it rains almost every 10 days, the water supply is still quite tight.  In the tropical monsoon climate, the temperature is relatively high all year round. Even in winter, it can usually reach above 20 degrees, so the water consumption is still relatively large.  Now, due to the lack of water supply at the roots, the plants do not have enough water for transpiration, so many leaves have begun to show signs of wilting.  Especially because Aoki worked hard to sprout and grow new leaves last month. As a result, these leaves are still a bit delicate and cannot withstand the high temperature air around them.  "Alas! It's not easy to make a tree!" Aoki couldn't help but sigh when he thought of all the difficulties he had encountered from the beginning to now.  Soon after, a group of leaves began to wither.  In the end, Aoki had to give up his car to save his coach.  Most of the water is supplied to the transpiration function leaves of the tree, ensuring that the supply can be maintained at a minimum.  Photosynthesis has been reduced, respiration has been enhanced, the permeability membrane has been destroyed, causing material loss in the body A lot of problems have appeared in front of Aoki, making Aoki physically and mentally exhausted.  At this time, the growth rate of Aoki has basically stopped, and the stored water is only used for basic consumption.  Looking at his previous actions, Aoki found that his all-out growth strategy some time ago was his most failed decision.  And it was also a major mistake not to discover in time that this was not a tropical monsoon climate zone.  Mistakes are not terrible, as long as you can face them and not make the same mistakes next time.  Half a month has passed, and the jungle that has slowed down in growth has finally received another rain.  Aoki, who is familiar with the water redistribution system of the soil-root system (HR for short), will quickly transfer rainwater from the surface to the depths of the ground through the roots, increasing the total amount of available water to wait for the next rain.  And the branches, trunks and other parts of the body are not idle, trying their best to store water and strive to absorb more water.  After doing all this, Aoki still felt unreliable and aimed his thoughts at the stream.  ¡°Isn¡¯t there a lot of ready-made water there? Why not use such good conditions?¡± So Aoki wanted to try his best to bias the tree roots to grow in the direction of the stream, and temporarily stop growing in other directions.  Since there is still a height difference of about 2 meters between the tree roots and the stream, I guess I have to work hard to reserve water and use it carefully in the past few months.  Finally, after another 2 months, Aoki finally extended his claws into the stream.  The joy of success made Aoki unable to help but draw water from the stream.  "Woo! Wow! Ha! Ha!" Aoki felt the cool feeling and couldn't help but feel excited, and the whole body of the tree was strangely shaking without wind.  "Finally, I don't have to save water! I think there are still difficulties that can stop me." Aoki was very proud and proud.  At this time, Aoki's body size is 1.2 meters high, and the roots are 6 meters deep.  On the outside, it only grows from 1 meter to 1.2 meters, not much change, but the roots of the tree grow from 4 meters to 6 meters deep. ? Prioritize the development of the root system to adapt to the impact of the environment, which is a need for survival.  However, with the supply of stream water, the green trees can begin to grow, focusing on the branches and leaves.  But Aoki didn¡¯t act too exaggerated.  At this time, it may be that the season has reached winter, and all the trees are recuperating. Aoki noticed that none of them revealed new branches and buds, but kept the original leaves unchanged.  If he is growing a lot of new branches and leaves at this time,?It will cause a bunch of bugs to gather together like last time.  As a result, the green trees grew upward little by little, gradually surpassing the other trees next to them.  After about 2 months, the weather basically remained unchanged, with high temperatures and not much rain.  However, Qingmu noticed that the plants in the jungle began to grow new branches and buds, bright and tender yellow, full of hope and new life.  Many bugs have gradually turned from their original depressed state to active, bringing vitality to this jungle.  Aoki knows that a new round of growth competition has begun.  At this time, in addition to feeling an instinctive feeling of taking root and sprouting, Qingmu also experienced another strange phenomenon: the tree was bulging in some strange places, as if it was growing something.  Nearly 10 days later, Aoki saw that he had grown a "beard".  There are not many beards. After counting, there are only 10 beards: 5 grow from the branches on the ground, and 5 grow from the roots of the tree underground.  They are similar to the nascent aerial roots of the banyan tree, but different.  Aoki studied it over and over again, but still couldn't figure out what it was.  Unconsciously, another month has passed, the drought situation has eased, and the frequency of rain has gradually increased.  In the end, it gradually developed into heavy rain for three days and light rain every day.  The water level of the stream has risen by more than 5 meters, and many underwater animals have emerged from the dry holes to welcome the new year.  The plants in the jungle are also swaying, as if to welcome the arrival of the rainy season.  By this time, Aoki¡¯s 10 ¡°beards¡± had also grown to half a meter long. They looked like heavy-flavored tentacles in XXX movies.  If it weren't for the layer of bark tissue covering the surface, Aoki would definitely be very disgusted with them.  Because before his rebirth, Aoki's tentacle flow, heavy taste, etc. were the most annoying and disgusting.  Aoki didn¡¯t know what they were used for, but the unpleasant image was still relegated to the cold palace by Aoki.  With the arrival of the rainy season, everything is growing, giving Aoki more fun.  The control of growth is left to the instinct of the tree.  Aoki, on the other hand, had a great time using the function of his mental power.  At this time, Aoki's mental power has grown to the point where he can extend a straight line of 100 meters, and the surrounding scanning range extends to a radius of 30 meters.  At this time, Aoki was having a great time and was very interested.  Small caterpillars, insect eggs, spiders, birds, poisonous snakes, pheasants, turtles, small fish, moss, pond turtles, frogs, all kinds of things were not spared.  Sometimes Aoki would take a playful look at some courting animals, and of course the mating scenes would not be missed. It was really an "evil" tree.  Although the green wood has become a tree, when you observe poisonous animals such as snakes and scorpions at close range through your spiritual power, you will still feel your heart pounding.  It was as if he was still a human being, stretching his head out to be bitten by them.  The big anaconda that bothered Aoki finally appeared in front of Aoki after he waited tirelessly.  The cold blue scales, the icy vertical eyes, the huge body, the cold breath, and the bloody mouth made Aoki shiver.  At this time, it is staying in a 10-meter-deep stream and deep pool, constantly preying on fish that are resting in the deep pool.  Seeing this, Aoki realized that his original idea was wrong.  The streams here are generally only three or four meters deep, and during the dry season they are only 1 meter or half a meter deep. For large underwater animals or amphibians, the living space is not enough to support their living needs.  So there definitely won't be too many large underwater animals here.  For a large anaconda with a huge appetite, if the water here is not deep enough and the food is not enough, it will definitely not establish a territory here.  This explains why Aoki has been so hard to see it for more than half a year.  Only during the rainy season, when it comes here on a whim and out of boredom, can Aoki see it.  "What is the outside world like?" Are there wild boars?  Jungle leopard?  monkey?  Other pythons?  And I don¡¯t know the environment I¡¯m in at all. Is it a valley?  Is it a ridge?  Is it a hillside?  Moreover, where exactly is he?  At this time, Aoki was very eager to see outside.  Limited to the existing environment, Aoki can only see streams and trees and jungles within 200 meters.  If you go any further, you will be blocked by leaves and tree trunks in the jungle.  The mental distance at this time was only a mere 100 meters.  "It would be great when mental power can break through to cover the entire jungle." Aoki felt warm in his heart when he thought of the potential of mental power.  This is a heart that longs to be unfettered.  At this time, Aoki is even more looking forward to growing up quickly.  From then on, Aoki lost his ambition and devoted himself to growing himself.  Until one day, the tranquility of the forest was broken.  Aoki heard the sound of people talking.  ¡°?More than 20 years have passed, has someone finally come?  I don¡¯t know who is coming this time.  "
