The Lindworm hesitated to stop, its body trembling slightly, as if it was a little frightened, and nervously bobbing its head back and forth, restlessly looking around.

With a click, the ground in front of the Linde worm cracked abruptly, and a slender silver tendrel sprang out of it. The roots are as small as an earthworm, and it probes its brain, as if it is looking for something.

After two or three seconds, the "earthworm" recognized the direction of the Linde worm and slowly wriggled towards it. Lindworm's eyes widened, and he shrank back nervously, panicked, avoiding the search for the roots.

"Click", "click", the ground in the distance began to crack. Roots of different sizes and thicknesses emerge from the cracks. They crawl on the ground like swarms of caterpillars, crawling around slowly.

The sight gave goosebumps all over her body, but Catherine's attention was completely off the caterpillars. She looked intently at the bottom of the silver pillar, where the rampant dwarf pulp was the highlight of the scene.

Just as the ground cracked, a large number of disgusting bubbles "gurgled" from the center of the pulp. Because of the dense slurry, these bubbles can bulge up and not burst. One by one, they squeezed each other and stacked on top of each other.

But these bubbles come and go quickly. When they were piled up to the height of more than a man, they suddenly stopped agitating and fell downwards with a "whirl".

A black, wheel-sized vortex suddenly appeared in the pulp. Uzumaki greedily sucked the pulp on the ground, as if he had been hungry for a hundred years.

As the whirlpool sucks more and more pulp, so does its diameter. From a distance, it seemed as if a huge deep cavern appeared on the ground. I'm afraid that if the powerful Linde worm accidentally walks up, it will also be devoured by it in an instant.

In fact, not the cave, but the crawling roots on the ground made the Lind worm restless. Because the Lindworm was constantly moving its body carefully, avoiding any of the roots that crawled towards it. Even if the hair is so thin, Linde doesn't want to touch it in the slightest. If it hadn't been for Catherine's order, it is estimated that poor Linde Worm would have fled without a trace.

The ground now covered by fire mud is barely visible in its original redness, replaced by a dense patch of silver roots. They kept crawling out of the cracks in the ground, like a carpet slowly pulling apart.

A huge number of roots are entangled and crawling on the ground, and because there are too many of them, the sound of "sizzling" rubbing is endless.

Ace was lying on top of Linde Worm's head, and he had already seen it in horror. He grabbed the corner of the Linde worm hard, for fear that one would be accidentally thrown off.

"Spectacle, spectacle. Perhaps in this world, only goblin scholars can appreciate the "beautiful scenery" in front of them, "The roots of these plants have such vigorous vitality." The so-called man-eating flowers and flytraps cannot be compared at all, and this must definitely be recorded. ”

"Mr. Professor, do you see something? What kind of being is this?" Catherine asked, glancing at the chattering goblin.

But the old professor didn't pay attention to Catherine right away, but only took care of himself and recorded it quickly.

"Your honorable master is asking you. Linde worm didn't forget to shout twice as he moved around the smaller and smaller space. It even whipped the old professor with its tail, which of course didn't help.

"Dear master, it's useless to ask him. No matter how knowledgeable he is, what can he know about the underworld?" saw that the goblin was indifferent to it, and hurriedly added.

"Professor, say something, or you'll be looked down upon by this worm. Ace now had a good relationship with the old professor, and turned his face to whisper to him.

"I can't compare to these species that are born with inherited memories. The goblin finally looked up, "I don't think it's nice to talk about the unknown. And my knowledge is not for show-off, even if I see something, I will record it first. Our whole life is about learning and accumulating. The spirit of the Goblin Academy is to record all knowledge and try to spread it. So I'm glad to have the opportunity to learn about the many wonderful things about the underworld. ”

"Professor, I'm speaking for you. You don't have to target me, do you?" Ass felt that the goblin's words meant a bit of a lecture to him, "You've already finished writing, you can tell us what you see?"

"Well, knowledge is meant to be transmitted. Goblins nodded, "Generally, roots are organs that only plants have. So it's pretty much safe to assume that the being is most likely a plant. ”

"Oh. Ace couldn't help but be a little discouraged when he heard this, "Actually, I can see it too." ”

"Do you know what it means for a plant whose roots are super vigorous, carnivorous, and control such a vast area?" asked the old professor as he gestured his hand in a circle.

Ace shook his head blankly.

"Carnivorous plants are rare plant species. The most common and smallest is the Venus flytrap – an adult plant that is no more than the length of your finger. The goblin scholar flipped to a page of the encyclopedia and said slowly, "The more famous, and also lethal to large creatures, is the man-eating flower. But piranhas grow in harsh conditions and can only survive in dark and damp swampy areas. In fact, according to research, cannibal flowers do not have the ability to actively attack living creatures. At this point, they are even inferior to Venus flytraps. ”

"So the main food source of cannibal flowers is the carrion of animals. In addition, the swamp area is sparsely populated, and it is unknown whether a cannibal flower can see a human in its lifetime, let alone cannibalism. The goblin sighed dissatisfied, "You humans are too unrigorous in academics, and like to deliberately exaggerate and distort some facts. Although the cannibal flower was first discovered by humans, the name is too casual. In swampy areas, even if they eat live animals, there must be more birds, beasts, and fish than people. Even if it is called bird-eating flower and fish-eating flower, it is more reasonable than man-eating flower, of course, the most accurate name should be called scavenging flower. ”

"Among the carnivorous plants, there is only one known plant that really has the ability to actively attack and has a fairly high risk factor, and that is the Magic Sea Coralline Algae. The goblin raised his voice slightly as he spoke of the plant, "But you may not know about the Demon Sea Coral, it is only recorded in the Great Encyclopedia. I was also a goblin university scholar back then, and I only learned about it after communicating with the sea races. ”

"Mr. Professor, you're wrong. You seem to be underestimating the development of humanity and the accumulation of knowledge in the last few thousand years. Catherine said coldly, "Since the opening of the eastern and western continents, those open sea areas are no longer places that only the sea races can set foot in. Take the magic sea coralline algae as an example, it is recorded in detail in the book "Illustrated Botanical Overview" of human beings. This algae has two characteristics that are rare in ordinary plants, migratory and social. There used to be ocean-going fleets that were attacked by the corals and algae of the Demon Sea on their way to migration. The incident was famous, and it also provided inspiration for one of the survivors of the event, the great playwright Thert. For this reason, he wrote the immortal stage play - "Demon Algae". ”

"Indeed, that play is famous. At that New Year's celebration, our mercenary group was invited to the Royal Theatre to see it. "But the show is really not interesting." The whole play is played by an actor from beginning to end, playing a crew member who lives in a small boat made of magic algae, and then tells the story of that crew member floating in the sea. He drifted for a hundred years without reaching the shore, and waited all day idle for land, and then either sang or whined. Anyway, I fell asleep with Anvil watching that play, and the only people who could watch it with relish were those fools like the aristocracy. ”

"Ferry and I watched it with relish. Who knew that Catherine said in a flat tone, "How can "Demon Algae" be compared to "The Battle of Red Dragon Sig". Lind worm, throw him down. ”

"Catherine, you're mistaken. Ah——,no, oh my God!" Ace fell to the ground with a scream.
