The two of them were talking to each other, which was very annoying. Soon, the flying saucer flew above the woods.

The types of trees in this forest are very interesting. At first glance, they look like oversized radishes or large vases. The tree trunks are as bloated as a fat man, and only the tops have sparse branches and leaves. On the tops of some trees, there are monkeys clinging to them.

It seemed like he was picking fruits to eat. Even though Li Erdan was "well-informed", he still couldn't name this kind of tree. He really had never heard of it or seen it before.

"Alice, do you know the name of this tree? It looks so damn weird, tall and big." Erdan asked Alice.

Alice glanced at the woods a few times, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I haven't seen it, and I haven't heard of it."

"Then check it out! Go to Baidu and Google it."

"Okay, since you're so interested, I'll check it out."

After a while, Alice quickly found out the information about this tree and said to Erdan: "I know, this tree is called baobab tree."

"Baobab tree? Are you mistaken? Is there such a strange tree name?"

“I think it’s normal for a weird tree to have a weird name!”

The baobab tree, also known as the hozen tree, is known as the elephant of the plant world. It is one of the oldest tree species on the earth, and it is also one of the thickest tree species, with a maximum diameter of more than ten meters. The baobab tree is thick

Its branches and well-developed rhizomes are like natural water storage tanks. A baobab tree can store thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms of water. If you understand the baobab tree literally, you would be completely wrong.

, this kind of tree cannot produce bread, nor can it grow monkeys. It is called this because its wood is as soft as bread, and its ripe fruits are somewhat similar to bread, so the name "bread" came into being.

The name, when the fruits are ripe, groups of monkeys will climb to the tree to pick the fruits and eat them, hence the name "monkey". The combination of bread and monkeys is the origin of the baobab tree.

As soon as Alice finished talking on the phone, Li Erdan pointed to a baobab tree and said: "Alice, look, there are monkeys and bread on this tree, isn't it a baobab tree?"

It is now the dry season in Africa. In the baobab forest Erdan discovered, the leaves of the tree have fallen off. It looks like it has withered. It makes people feel desolate! The leaves of the tree have fallen off.

, but the fruit is still there, I just don’t know if I can still eat it. Erdan looked around and saw what looked like hanging on the branch.

The baobab fruit is larger than a football but shaped like a rugby ball. The fruit is yellow in color and the shell looks like rotten wood, giving people the illusion that it will break when pinched. In this way, at first glance, the fruit really looks like a tree.

The monkeys on the tree cling to the huge fruit, tear the shell apart with their claws, and eat the "pulp" from the inside.

Li Erdan was drooling as he looked at it.

"You must be so hungry that your eyesight is dazzled! Is that bread? Is it fruit?" Alice sneered.

"Metaphor, metaphor, do you understand? The grammar of our Chinese language is extensive and profound, and you haven't figured it out yet, so I don't blame you."

Alice rolled her eyes at Erdan, then sorted out the information about the baobab tree that she had "researched", and said: "Although the baobab tree looks funny and weird, it is full of treasures! It

The leaves can be eaten as vegetables, the roots can be cooked and eaten, the fruits can be eaten directly or made into jam, and the seeds can be crushed and made into tea. What is even more valuable is that its fruits, leaves

The slices and bark can also be used as medicine to treat malaria, and Baobab has even isolated an anti-cancer substance from the fruit. Also, the baobab tree is soft and can be used as a tree when grown naturally or artificially.

"It's for the house." Suddenly she changed the topic, "Brother Erdan, we can completely hollow out a baobab tree and put the Ark of the Covenant in it! It's safe and secure in this place where birds don't poop."

"The birds don't poop? That's not true, right? There is a local village five kilometers northeast. There are also a group of monkeys on the trees. It is too unsafe for the Ark of the Covenant to be hidden here."

"It doesn't work here, and it doesn't work there either. Then where do you want to hide it?" Alice said angrily.

Erdan frowned, stared into Alice's eyes, and changed the subject: "Did you just say that baobab trees can be used as medicine and can cure malaria and cancer?"

Alice was confused, but she still responded: "That's what it said in the information I found. I'm just repeating it briefly and concisely. If you are skeptical, then go and research it."

Erdan nodded thoughtfully, his head spinning instantly.

Since the baobab tree can isolate substances that treat malaria and fight cancer, are there substances that can fight Ebola virus?

Li Erdan didn't have Shennong's ability to taste hundreds of herbs. He couldn't tell whether there was any anti-Ebola drug in the baobab tree just by looking at it with his eyes. When his stomach rumbled again,

All trivial matters are left behind, filling your stomach comes first.

Erdan asked Alice: "Alice, I'm going to have a barbecue here. You don't have any objections, right?"

"It's up to you, I won't eat it anyway."

"Oh, that's right." Erdan said, pointing towards an open area in the middle of the woods, "Just go there."

The flying saucer finally stopped in front of a "giant" baobab tree in the middle of the baobab forest, which seemed to be seven meters in diameter and twenty meters in height.

This was the first time Erdan had seen such a thick tree, and a word flashed in his mind: tree king.

The baobab tree is a long-lived tree and generally lives a long time. Take the seven-meter-diameter baobab tree Erdan saw as an example. Its skin is black, as old as a fossil, and its well-developed rhizomes are

It extends out of the ground and radiates within a radius of tens of meters. A rough estimate suggests that it is at least a thousand years old.

There are three monkeys in this tree, eating fruits that are bigger than footballs. There are also several monkeys in nearby trees, and the total number adds up to about twenty. This baobab forest is the home of these monkeys.

Their survival territory is suddenly invaded by a "foreign enemy", and they suddenly become alert.

Presumably, this group of monkeys had never seen a flying saucer. When the flying saucer flew over the woods, they seemed to be stunned. They were all stunned, and several monkeys ran away, squealing as they ran.

"Brother Erdan, have you ever eaten monkey meat?" Alice suddenly asked Erdan, with a smile on her face and a clear and sweet accent, but she had murderous intent in her heart!
