Chapter 85 - Poisonous Mushrooms
The beast-catching tree is similar to the insect-catching tree, the Venus flytrap. It is an existence that feeds on wild animals and feeds on monsters close to it. They eat neither meat nor meat, and they will turn what they eat into their own vitality. In order to prevent them from not being able to eat meat for a long time, they can also perform photosynthesis.
They will put their wide traps on the ground and wait for the beast to step on. Each beast he eats will be wrapped in rich secretions, which will melt in its large and long leaves for ten days and half a month, and then set up the trap again and wait for the next prey to come to the door.
Su Nuan counted carefully and found that there were at least thirty or forty animal hunting trees in front of her, which turned out to be a jungle. Each tree had a certain interval, and ordinary trees grew between each tree.
"This is a forest of beast hunting. No wonder it is lacking in vitality and so quiet. But it doesn't matter. I can use the power of the spirit master to drive a path out." Su Nuan said.
Ling Yun shook his head and said, "We just want a safe camp now. It's great if I see this beast-catching woods. Even if we break through this woods and in the dense jungle, we may not be able to find a safer place than here."
Upon hearing this, Su Nuan couldn't help but widen her eyes: "It's just here? In the woods, is it safe?"
Ling Yun glanced at her without explaining. Instead, he turned around and returned the same way.
Su Nuan gritted her teeth, followed Ling Yun tightly, and returned to the shallow after following Ling Yun.
Ling Yun selected two strong crocodile corpses, blew them open, removed their internal organs, cleaned them again, and dragged them into the jungle.
"You actually want to...!" Su Nuan was also a smart person. She followed her all the way. Seeing this, she had already vaguely guessed Ling Yun's purpose.
Lingyun's wonderful thoughts surprised her from the bottom of her heart.
"Man is the spirit of all things, and his wisdom is infinite. It is normal to make some strange actions in order to survive. Let's sleep here today." Ling Yun said, and after explaining another trick, he got into the crocodile's belly alone.
Then he pulled the crocodile meat inside and rolled it, and the crocodile's body approached under a beast-catching tree.
Whoosh!
A vine that was closest suddenly rushed out, as fast as a flash of shadows. Two leaves spread wide, swallowed the crocodile body in one bite, and then merged together firmly.
Immediately afterwards, the vines twisted and slowly supported the heavy leaves onto the height of the tree crown.
"Go to bed quickly, I'll have to hurry tomorrow." The leaves on the tree canopy were turbulent, and Ling Yun's voice came.
Su Nuan stood there in a daze, staring at this scene.
It took a while before she woke up, but she still felt a little hesitant.
Seeing that the sun had already set, darkness was shrouded layer by layer, the cool breeze of the night blew across her face, passing through the jungle, making whimpering sounds, and there were unpredictable dangers around her.
Su Nuan gritted her teeth, and as Ling Yun demonstrated, she got into the crocodile's belly, and then rolled under the beast-catching tree.
Almost the next moment, she felt an external force coming, causing the entire crocodile to shake suddenly.
After another shaking, she felt herself slowly rising.
Finally, the rising force ceased.
Su Nuan lies in the crocodile's belly, while the crocodile lies flat among the leaves, which is very uncomfortable.
She looked out, her eyes could see the stars in the sky through the gaps where the leaves were biting.
There was constant sound of wind blowing around, there was a hint of the sound of the jungle being blown away, and the sound of cicadas in the grass.
"We are lucky, and tomorrow will be a good day." Ling Yun's voice came from outside.
Su Nuan didn't say anything, she moved her body to make herself more comfortable.
But the cold crocodile body still made her feel a sense of coldness.
At the same time, a sweet smell came into her nose.
Su Nuan was not surprised. According to what Ling Yun had described before, the animal hunting tree was beginning to secrete acid.
However, this acid corrodes the body of the crocodile, and the body of the crocodile is very thick, which takes at least three months. Su Nuan hides in the body of the crocodile and is temporarily safe.
"By the way, use the crocodile pill first, and then rest..." Su Nuan thought in her heart, but her eyelids did not obey the command at all and gradually closed.
Almost instantly, she fell asleep.
She was too tired, first drifting for five days and five nights, and then fighting fiercely with the crocodiles. During the battle, she exceeded her physical strength limit and discovered some of her own potential.
Perhaps there is also the reason why she is a female body. Ling Yun’s intentional or unintentional pressure made her physically and mentally exhausted.
Ling Yun didn't fall asleep.
He lay in the crocodile body, opened the package, took out some cotton clothes and cloaks. He divided these into two parts, some under his body, and some on his body.
Although I was very troubled, after this arrangement, there was a drastic change.
The leaves cage and the crocodile body seem to have evolved into a comfortable breeding ground.
Ling Yun still had some energy left. He closed his eyes, sank into his mind, and began to activate spiritual power to warm the cyclone.
Although there is no stable cultivation environment, the spiritual power will slowly increase. Ling Yun has many spirit stones, which still need to be continuously refined during the cultivation process, resulting in a significant increase in the duration of his warmth.
Although cultivation can replace sleep, it can increase your spiritual power faster.
But Ling Yun didn't do this in the end, and the warming cyclone could not replace sleep. In the second half of the night, he stopped practicing and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
He slept lightly, and in his sleep he could vaguely hear the sound of the night wind and the howling of wild beasts. Many wild beasts were attracted by the bloody smell of the shallows and trekked over. When passing through this woods, they were caught by the trapped trees.
It’s noon at the sun, and the blue sky and white clouds.
The sun shines on the earth, the Huanglong River rolls in a long stream, and the dense jungles by the river gather into a green ocean.
On the canopy of the animal hunting tree, vines are tangled, and each leaf is like a cage, like a pooled river clam, standing up high.
Suddenly, one of the cages trembled suddenly.
puff.
A bright red moon blade flew out from inside, shooting through the leaves.
A girl, wearing a light-colored robe and covered with a layer of white armor, emerged from the leaf cage.
She was agile, and her toes hit the tree branches several times, kept leaping, and finally landed safely on the ground.
It's Su Nuan.
During the whole process, the beast-catching tree remained motionless and was silent.
Su Nuan glanced at the beast-catching tree, and the words of Ling Yun's care for her could not help but appear in her heart.
"The beast tree will not attack any prey that can be escaped. Because beast trees can no longer deal with it. Although the beast tree does not have wisdom, this evolved instinct makes it more adaptable to survival."
"Ah Yeh."
Su Nuan couldn't help sneezing. She rubbed her nose while scanning her eyes and looked around.
Most of this animal-catching forest holds leaf cages high on the canopy, like green shells.
"It seems that the smell of blood on the shallows attracted many wild animals. The beast-catching woods made a lot of gains last night." Su Nuan was thinking in her mind, moving her limbs and shaking her head.
She slept very uncomfortable last night, the crocodile corpse was hard and cold at night. Although she was extremely tired, she was awakened by the cold several times.
Therefore, he had dark circles and was not in good spirits. However, after a night of practice, his physical strength recovered to most of his life.
At this moment, she stood in a place with sunshine and used the sunshine to dispel the cold air in her body.
"Su Nuan, let me out." A voice came, which was Ling Yun. He could hear the movement without having to rely on the help of the selves.
Su Nuan turned her eyes to another animal hunting tree. On the canopy of this tree, she swallowed the leaves of Lingyun, and was still in the old place.
She smiled secretly, but did not answer. Instead, she closed her eyes and rested, bathed in the sun, deliberately procrastinating.
After more than a moment, she ejaculated a bloody moon blade and cut off the vine.
The leaves, like strips, bumped and bumped between the trunks, and eventually fell to the ground.
Su Nuan slowly approached leisurely, and then urged a blood blade to cut through the leaves. Ling Yun then came out of it.
"Why is it so late? I've woken up long ago and have been practicing for a while." Ling Yun's face was rosy and full of energy.
As for the clothes he took out last night, he had already put away his cloak.
Su Nuan snorted coldly. Ling Yun's condition was a bit beyond her expectations.
She thought that Ling Yun was the same as her, she was not sleeping well, cold and hungry, so she deliberately delayed and tortured him a little more.
I didn't expect Ling Yun to be in such a good condition.
"It's getting late, and I have to hurry up today, so let's have a meal first." Ling Yun took out the package and took out coal stones, iron racks, iron pots, water bags, dry cakes, etc. one by one.
He moved quickly and quickly cooked a pot of broth.
Then I searched on the spot and picked a large handful of mushrooms on the trunks of the animal tree.
These mushrooms are shriveled and slender, with dark purple or black colors.
Su Nuan looked at Ling Yun putting all these mushrooms into the pot and couldn't help but question: "The plants in the wild should not be eaten randomly, as they may contain toxins."
“Colored mushrooms cannot be eaten.”
