Chapter 343: Dissipation
After all, it's just a mushroom, it's not a big deal, and there are countless dangerous mushrooms like this in the ruins forest, and some will even take the initiative to attack people, instead of being like this mushroom, which will only wait for the rabbit, as long as you are careful not to touch it, there will be no danger.
After informing the others of the danger of the mushroom, the group continued to walk out under the leadership of Rob, and as for the corpse, it was naturally left there.
Hunters have always stayed where they died, and there was no idea of returning to their ancestors and burying the soil and erecting monuments, at most, if they didn't want their corpses to be eaten by demon beasts, they would let people cremate them, and then sprinkle them in the forest to make fertilizer.
However, it is rare for hunters to have this kind of request, and everyone is very open-minded because they don't bring them to life or death.
Although Rob has been in this world for several months, if he really wants to say how many strange plants he has seen, he has not seen them.
You must know that when he was in Jiuxu, he didn't have much strength, so he naturally didn't dare to run around, basically he only followed Dagang around Jiuxu, and he wouldn't go to deeper places.
Places like the Nine Ruins have been searched by many hunters, so naturally there are no very dangerous plants or monsters.
And after he had a certain strength, the Nine Ruins scattered again, and followed Jin Si to the North Acropolis, so naturally he didn't have the opportunity to see anything strange.
So compared to this group of hunters such as wine and salt, Rob can really be said to have little knowledge, hunters like them basically go anywhere, and naturally see more things.
In view of this, he asked Jiuyan and others to tell him that there are plants that will silently parasitize in people's bodies, and then explode after a while, and at the same time, the thin vines that erupt will also actively attack people.
Rob wanted to hear it, and they naturally wouldn't refuse wine and salt, so they said a few similar plants they had seen, but no matter what kind of plant it was, it was different from what he said, there were many plants that would parasitize in the human body, and there would be a lot of thin vines that would make people grow, but there was no kind of thin vine that burst out like he said, and it would take the initiative to attack people.
However, there was nothing to do anyway, and Rob listened to it as if he was a long insight, and just like that, he listened to the wine and salt and they talked about all kinds of strange plants, and walked out of the mist.
Soon, however, someone found a blue mushroom growing independently in the ground, and immediately issued a warning.
As a group of people walked out, more and more blue mushrooms were found, some tall and some short, some large and some small, some clustered, and some alone.
And the roots of blue mushrooms, which usually grow into clusters, are tied to a corpse.
Obviously, when Rob and the others were walking out, the hunters outside were also coming in, and then they encountered the blue mushroom, no matter what the reason was, they were parasitized by the seeds of the blue mushroom anyway, and then died here.
It stands to reason that hunters will not rush to touch unfamiliar plants, but there will always be all kinds of unintentional actions, which lead to all kinds of accidents, so there is a tragedy.
More and more blue mushrooms were discovered, causing Rob and his group to become more and more cautious when walking, and even held their breath when passing by places with blue mushrooms, for fear that a little wind and grass would cause it to release its own seeds.
You know, the seeds of this blue mushroom are colorless and transparent, and they are fluttering like dandelion seeds, and if it wasn't for Rob's reminder, no one would have seen it at all.
And this is also the danger of it, if you can't see it, you don't even know when the seed will be released, in case you are walking and walking, you will suddenly be hit, it will be a death injustice.
Not to mention, the seeds of this blue mushroom are not a large patch, but it is also difficult to count how many, which means that if you are unlucky, it may lead to the destruction of the group.
This was soon confirmed in a later place, where four hunters died in about the same place, only two or three meters apart from each other.
When Rob's group passed by, the blue mushrooms that emerged from the four corpses were already more than twenty centimeters tall, and if it weren't for its danger, it would look quite cute.
As he cautiously walked around, a hunter suddenly said, "If this continues, will the Nine Ruins soon be overgrown with this kind of mushroom?"
Hearing this, a group of people suddenly had some aftertaste.
I thought that after hunting the demon tree and dispelling the fog, the Nine Ruins would cause people to fight, but now, this place is full of this blue mushroom, and the danger has greatly increased, so who wants to come here?
Everyone was reminded of this sentence, and there was silence for a while.
Rob frowned, since he found that there were more and more blue mushrooms on the road, his snake pupil had not been canceled, he didn't want to die here for some inexplicable reason, and become a culture of blue mushrooms.
At this point, he was pondering the question of how these blue mushrooms were here.
You must know that although the Ruin Forest has a variety of plants, it is impossible for a strange plant to suddenly grow in one place that has never been seen at all, not to mention that it has only been two or three months since the three organizations of the Dark Moon Breeder and the Thorn Ring left here, and before that, there had never been such a blue mushroom plant in the Nine Ruins.
In addition to this blue mushroom plant, the demon tree parasitic on the demon people also looks very suspicious, when there were still people in the Nine Ruins, they didn't grow, but there was no one in the Nine Ruins, so it grew, this is too coincidental, right?
Could it be that there is a connection between this demon tree and the blue mushroom?
This kind of thing, if you just think about it, it is easy to get closer to the conspiracy, but even if it is a conspiracy, it seems that there is nothing to capture, right? This is a ruin, and the reason why it is a ruin is because it is inhabited and traded, and if there is no one, then it is just a ruin.
So in the final analysis, the ruins are still because of the talents who became the city, if this place is overgrown with this blue mushroom, making this place a place of death that everyone fears, then what is the use of occupying the nine ruins?
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, Rob simply shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him, he is not a hunter, he will have to go back to the North Acropolis sooner or later, and when the time comes, it will not matter to him what happens here.
Thinking of this, my heart relaxed a little, and at this time, a group of people finally left the range of the fog and reached beyond the fog.
"It's finally out!" a hunter cried out.
"Ahh
"There are no mushrooms here, are they?" someone came out and looked around to see if there were any mushrooms.
"I think I'm a little afraid of eating mushrooms now, there are so many blue mushrooms growing on corpses, I have a psychological shadow when I see it. "Some people complain that since it is in the forest, it is natural that they can't just eat meat, and edible mushrooms are mostly on the hunter's food list.
However, everyone is really concerned about this issue, and after looking around, they didn't find the figure of the blue mushroom, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When I was in the fog before, I really didn't even dare to breathe for the atmosphere, but now that there are no blue mushrooms, I can finally take a few breaths of air.
The group of people suddenly became relaxed, and they all found a place to sit and rest, but Rob couldn't relax, he had said that he would let the hook and them help with the investigation in the Nine Ruins!
However, before he could think about how to persuade the other party in case he repented, the four persons in charge of the hunter took the initiative to find him.
Of these four people, Cassava is a woman, and the hook and pliers look relatively normal, but the hunter with a modern head and a name called Wood seems to have a more withdrawn personality, and he has not spoken much from beginning to end, even when he was around the hunter's corpse before, he watched like a bystander and said nothing.
But since this is the person elected by the hunter himself, Rob doesn't care what his personality is, anyway, as long as he acknowledges their cooperation, he will listen to his command.
Cassava was a little anxious, and as soon as he came up, he simply asked directly: "What do you want us to do next? What do you want to investigate?"
Hearing her ask like this, Rob knew that this cooperation could still continue, and the people did not regret it at all, so he didn't think about it anymore, and said the arrangement he had thought of before: "In this way, we have a total of forty here...... Now there are thirty-nine people, divided into ten teams, scattered and each to investigate. ”
"Investigate what?" asked the pincer the key.
I've been talking about investigating, but what exactly is investigating, we still have to have a relatively clear goal, and we can't let them run around like headless flies, right?
After thinking about it, Rob said: "To be honest, even I don't know much about what to investigate, I can only tell you about the strange disease that happened in the North Acropolis, and then you go around the Nine Ruins to see if you can find anything." ”
"This is too unreliable!" Hook couldn't help but say.
"It can't be helped. Rob smiled bitterly: "But it's okay, you should just play with me, anyway, if there is no fruit at that time, I will plant the tree for you." ”
Hook and the others looked at each other, nodded, and then said to the pincers: "Ten teams...... Are you one too?"
"Of course!" Rob nodded and said, "I don't count, can I still sit here and watch?" After speaking, he continued: "We have exactly ten people here, one person leads a team! Originally, there were four people in each team, but now there is one less, so let's be here!"
"I won't lead the team!" I don't know what to think, Cassava suddenly said, "I'll follow your team!"
"I'm with you, too!" said the hook as he suddenly raised his hand.
Seeing these two people say this, Rob didn't bother to think deeply about whether they wanted to monitor or what they had in mind, so he nodded directly and agreed: "In this way, my team will be full, and the other teams, pliers and wood, will help distribute it." ”
The pliers nodded in response, and the wood nodded though he didn't speak.
Next, while the fog had not completely dissipated, the hunters' side was summoned, and then roughly divided into four people according to their familiar people, and then divided into four people, and each other knew each other and the five people of Wine and Salt, so that the arrangement was completed, and finally, Rob stood up again and said, "See that tree over there?"
He pointed to the northwest, on a high slope at the edge of the forest, where there was a tall tree that jutted out of all the trees behind it, the tree that grew at the very edge, and said, "That's where we meet." Whether there is news or no news, or they are separated, before dark, they all go there to meet. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the time on the compass and said, "It's 11 o'clock in the afternoon, and it will take some time for the fog to completely dissipate, let's go over first!"
Naturally, everyone had no opinion on this decision, so they all went in that direction.
From here to there, the straight-line distance is not too far, only about two or three hundred meters, a group of people soon arrived there, and saw that on the high slope, there is a tree growing alone on the edge of the high slope, the thick roots are rooted in the ground, the surface is partially exposed, and the surrounding is the low green grass, leaving a large open space, which is very suitable for camping.
They are all old fritter hunters, and they don't need to tell them anything when they arrive at their destination, and they start to get busy.
Some carved markings on the trees to indicate that the place was occupied. Others search the surrounding grass for dangerous plant growth, poisonous snakes, etc.
While the hunters were busy, Rob and Jiuyan and the others, as well as the hunter's four principals, stood on the edge of the high slope and looked at the mist in the distance.
It's not a high place, but there's nothing higher in front of you that obscures your view, so you can still see the fog at a glance.
After this period of time, the fog has become much thinner than before, and from the outside, you can already vaguely see the scene in the fog, which looks like a thin white veil, hazy.
And Rob saw the scene much clearer than the others because of the relationship with the snake pupils.
Flat land, exposed foundations, all kinds of scattered broken masonry, etc.
These are all left after the military evacuated, even when he was in the Thirteen Ruins, he also heard a little, knowing that the military carried out construction in the Nine Ruins, using various construction machinery, and spent a few days bulldozing a corner of the Nine Ruins.
At that time, many people joked, saying that when they returned to Jiuxu in the future, they didn't have to be afraid of those dangerous buildings.
However, after the military withdrew, when many hunter organizations that wanted to make a big fight and occupied the Nine Ruins were about to move, in just a few days, the Nine Ruins were shrouded in a layer of fog.
At first, the range should not be large, but when the others found out, all the fog had already occupied the entire Nine Ruins, blocking the peeps of all the hunters outside.
During this period, naturally many hunters organized spying to search for the reason, but basically not only to no avail, but also to catch a lot of people, and then after that, that is, what Rob and the others experienced before.
And now, the fog that has shrouded Jiuxu for more than three months is finally about to dissipate, and what will happen to the Jiuxu displayed in front of everyone?
Chapter 342 has revised some things, and it is recommended to read it again.
