Galactic Garbage Station Chapter 365 *Hidden* Part 2

“Do you mean, this man-eating vine is made of fruit?” Su Jing asked with surprise.
“Ayaya.” Tengteng nodded.

“How is this possible, it has only been one night.” Su Jing couldn't believe it. Tengteng can still only speak in 'Ayaya' sound. He couldn't say a complete sentence at all. Su Jing had to ask A'San, “A'San, You were here last night. Did you see this man-eating vine sprout and grow up, when were you caught? “

“I wasn't here last night. I came up here this morning. There was no man-eating vine then. I don't know what happen but it popped out of nowhere and then tied me up as if to eat me.” A 'San said this while feeling wronged.

“Suddenly popped out?” Su Jing froze, and a ray of light suddenly shot in his eyes. Why did he forget that this man-eating vine came from the One Piece World, how did he forget the various seed attacks Usopp used from the seeds he got from the island he was stranded on for two and a half year. The seeds he used would fly out and turned into a man-eating tree, binding the enemy.

“Is this fruit …” Su Jing suddenly turned his eyes, he suddenly threw the green fruit in his hand and the fruit hit the distant ground. Then, with a “Bang”, the fruit burst open and a man-eating vine popped up quickly. It is two or three meters tall like the one next to Tengteng.

“This is really amazing, Hahaha!” Su Jing was pleasantly surprised and he laughed. This fruit is undoubtedly a powerful offensive force. Imagine throwing it directly to bind the enemy. Even if you can't trap the enemy, it will at least hinder them and you would be able to come up with something to deal with the enemies.

“Wait, this is not right. Compared with the small seed that developed into Tengteng, this fruit is too small, the fruit is not yet large. Besides, if the man-eating vine can come out directly from a single fruit, then why did Tengteng sprout and grow up little by little? ” Su Jing was puzzled as he thought of this. He picked up the three fruits on the ground and studied them carefully.

In the end, he was surprised to find that these fruits had no seeds within them. Fruits not having seeds is not unusual in modern times, because there are many artificially created varieties of fruits in the market now that doesn't have seeds within them. Theoretically, the absence of seeds means that the fruit can't produce any offspring but why does a man-eating vine have no seeds in their fruits, and why did Tengteng sprout out from a small seed when a man-eating vine can instantly sprout out from a fruit.

Su Jing couldn't figure it out and transplant the newly transformed man-eating vine towards Tengteng, he will let Tengteng manage them. He found that the other two man-eating vines had very small roots and they barely stood up.

“First, I will observe and study these man-eating vines to see what are their advantages and disadvantages after being directly transformed from this fruit. Of course, they cannot be easily seen by outsiders anyway. Although this fruit is easy to use but it cannot be used casually. Su Jing thought and continued to study the two newly sprouted man-eating vines, but he found that they were almost the same as the original Tengteng except that their roots were too small.

This went on until the evening when a strange phenomenon made Su Jing look dumbfounded again.

He saw that the newly born man-eating vines had been transformed into a wilting plant that was withering at a very fast speed. Within a minute, it completely withered and turned into a pool of rotten leaves that spread out on the ground. After a while, another man-eating vine quickly withered.

“It turns out that the advantages and disadvantages are coexistent with each other with the advantage being that energy can be conserved for a man-eating vine that is sprouted out from seeds. The two fruits instantly converted into a man-eating vine which is equivalent to the energy in the fruit being consumed instantly, that was probably the reason why their roots were so spa.r.s.e, the nutrition they got was not enough. Naturally, they will soon die. And it now also makes sense that these fruits have bo seeds as there isn't any need for them to reproduce at all and it is the kind of cored fruits that develop into Tengteng to be used to breed offspring. Fruits without cores should be used to protect the fruit with a core. After all, the fruits with seeds would be scattered to various places after they fall. The man-eating vine mother tree can not protect all of them. If each fruit with a core has one or many bodyguard type fruit that can instantly turn into a man-eating vine, then the natural survival rate of the fruits with seeds will rise exponentially.” Su Jing thought in this way and talked directly with Tengteng. After Tengteng listened, he nodded in agreement, apparently, this survival law was buried deep within the man-eating vine so it naturally knows about them.

“How is it that you don't seem to have any seeds?” Su Jing examined Tengteng and found hundreds of fruit, all of which were the size of marbles, none of which were large, and none of which appeared to have any seeds.

“Ayaya.” Tengteng's cry is a bit of a grievance, apparently, it also doesn't quite understand this.

“Is it dioecious?” Su Jing had previously learned about dioecious and hermaphrodite in order to cultivate camellia euphlebia. Most plants are hermaphrodite. Only one plant can breed offspring, and a few are dioecious. At least one male and one female can breed. Generally speaking, pollen cannot be fertilized and it will only produce a flower without any seeds. But now it seems that the man-eating vine is in a special situation. It can not be fertilized by pollen. It will bear fruit but has no seeds.

“Forget it, if there is no offspring then there is no offspring, it wouldn't do me any good to think about it. It is also good that Tengteng can produce many offensive fruits.” Su Jing thought about it and did not struggle, he picked up all the mature fruits and put them into his storage bag.

That night, at three or four in the morning, Su Jing is suddenly woken up by a cell phone alarm. Su Jing's eyes opened wide and he rushed out towards the first floor with his pets without even wearing his shoes. (To be continued ~ ^ ~.)
