Seeing Chu Ci holding the wooden knife he had just carved, and his hand movement gently slashed on the rhizome of the Rong Withered vine, and the rhizome was cut open, Xia Lin's eyes widened.

It's not scientific!

Obviously it looks like a vine root with rough skin and thick flesh, but it is so crispy?

Seeing Xia Lin's suspicious and eager appearance of wanting to try it herself, Chu Ci simply handed her the rhizome of the Rong Withered Vine and the wooden knife in his hand.

Charlene is a wood-based powerhouse, and there is no question of whether the zài energy will affect the characteristics of the wilted vine.

Charlene carefully took the root of the withered vine in her hand, and her heart was still full of magic.

This kind of thing is indeed full of novelty for her.

After all, even in the last days when food is at its most scarce...... The alien plants in the wild are very ferocious, who is going to dig up a grass root bark and try it? Are you the ignorant and unconscious plants and trees in ancient times who can only be bullied by others? O(╯□╰)o

Charlene carefully peeled off the outer layer of the rhizome of the withered vine, revealing the milky white rhizome inside.

Wrapping her left hand with the energy of the wood system, Charlene turned the rhizome of the withered vine that looked as smooth as cheese, and her heart was still full of disbelief.

It should be said that it is the root of the tree...... Ahem, can't vine roots be disguised?

Looking at the inside of the vine root in front of her, Charlene began to believe that this thing could be eaten, after all, the visual feeling was delicious. (Ahem, you visual animal...... ）

Chu Ci took the wooden knife in Xia Lin's hand, and after a few knives, he cut the large piece of milky white rhizome into several parts.

The relatively largest piece of it was put away in an incubator, and Chu Ci raised his hand to signal everyone to take one piece.

"What is this for?" Staring at the remaining piece of milky white rhizome in her hand, which was about half the size of her own fist, Charlene looked curious.

After all, they don't really plan to use local materials to let them experience the taste of eating raw vine roots, right?

"Eat." Chu Ci replied lightly, and took the lead in stuffing a small piece of the rhizome of the withered vine in his hand into his mouth.

Charlene looked at Chu Ci in a daze, her lips slightly open.

It's true...... To eat...... Yes?

Are you really not afraid of poisoning?

She remembered that everyone had just drunk the nutrients before, so she shouldn't be hungry, and she didn't feel hungry or desperate to eat it.

So...... It shouldn't be another unknown trap or a fantasy, right?

Charlene guessed uncertainly.

I looked left and right, uh......

Hey, is it really okay for you guys to do this?!

Seeing that everyone did not hesitate to stuff the rhizome in their hands into their mouths and eat it, and even looked like it tasted really good, Charlene hesitated.

No way......

"Eat, it's fine." When Bai Qiang saw Charlene's appearance, she knew that this girl was definitely frightened by the boldness of their group.

Thinking that Charlene is an ordinary person, she naturally doesn't have any understanding of places like dungeons, and in her opinion, everyone's behavior is not only unbelievable, it is no different from seeking death.

Although she didn't know what her boss thought, she had to bring Charlene down, but she also knew that Charlene's significance to Chu Ci was quite important. So naturally, I had to do my best to keep Charlene safe.

The senior said that only by ensuring Charlene's safety can her family's boss's life and death crisis be hopefully overcome.

"After eating this thing, it's good for us."

"What's the benefit?" Charlene asked subconsciously.

Bai Qiang's eyes flashed, but she didn't answer.

The intelligence of the creatures in the ground is only higher than that of those strange beasts on the ground, and it will never be worse. So there are some things that cannot be said.

Xia Lin looked at Bai Qiang, and seeing that the other party obviously didn't plan to say, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and subconsciously looked up at Chu Ci.

"Hurry up, we're still on our way after eating." Chu Ci looked back at Charlene in a calm tone.

Facing Chu Ci's calm eyes, Xia Lin gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and stuffed the white rhizome in her hand into her mouth.

Forget it, let's die together, anyway, she doesn't think these people will be so stupid that they don't even know whether something is poisonous or not, so they just eat it in their stomachs.

Moreover, although this dungeon Charlene is the first time she has heard of it, looking at the state of everyone, it doesn't seem like she doesn't know anything about this kind of dungeon.

Thinking of the "antiques found in the ruins" that the old man Qingxi had inadvertently mentioned when she was on the virtual network, Charlene comforted herself.

After all, dungeons are just a kind of ruins, aren't they?

Well, although the area of this relic is a little larger.

The milky white rhizome is slightly sweet, and there is also a sour and astringent taste, although it is not as delicious as expected, but the taste is really not bad.

Especially after the lower mouth, the feeling of refreshing and moisturizing the lungs is very good.

In an era when edible native plants are becoming scarcer and less than enough cooking materials and condiments, this kind of taste can be called delicious...... Uh, fruit.

When Charlene opened her eyes, she saw that at some point, there were only five people's lights in everyone's hands, and at some point, there was only the one left on her wriststick.

Seven people, except for the two who have been hiding in the shadows to be in charge of vigilance and defense, the rest were originally turned on by the lights, although the radiation range of the lights is not wide, but at least in such a dark world without the slightest light, it also gives people a sense of stability.

But now......

Uh, why doesn't it seem as dark as you think?

Charlene looked up in some surprise, looked at Chu Ci, who was silently standing on her side, and stopped talking.

The way Bai Qiang wanted to speak and stopped just now and Chu Ci's behavior that he didn't want to explain, she didn't notice the reason at all.

Chu Ci didn't speak, but just reached out and pulled Xia Lin's wrist up.

Charlene: Σ(°△°|||) ︴

What is this guy going to do?!

A faint glance made Charlene obediently stop resisting, and let Chu Ci turn off the light on her wriststick.

The surroundings were instantly dark, and Charlene stretched out her hand uneasily, subconsciously grabbing Chu Ci beside her.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Chu Ci glanced down at Xia Lin in a slightly surprised manner.

It was rare that this little woman didn't scream.

In fact, as early as when Charlene closed her eyes and ate the withered vine, everyone had already prepared for defense, waiting for Charlene's shouts to attract a second wave of attacks.

After all, in the dark, there are no more than two dazzling targets, one is bright light, and the other is sound.

But it's a good thing that she doesn't call it after all, no one will be afraid of being attacked, right?

Charlene panicked for a moment, and then noticed that she seemed to be faintly seeing the outline of something.

Σ(°△°|||) ︴

Why is that?

Xia Lin raised her head and wanted to ask Chu Ci something, but the other party raised her hand to block her mouth.

Seeing that Chu Ci made a silent gesture, Xia Lin swallowed her saliva silently and swallowed the words back.

Don't ask what you can't ask, don't say what you can't say, this is the rule of survival.

After getting used to the light around her for a while, Charlene realized that this underground world was not all dark, not the kind of extreme pure black without a trace of light.

Although there is no light here, there are glowing heterogeneous plants.

Most of these alien plants are not strong in attack, or even the plants are not large, but more like a bryophyte with an extremely simple cell structure, densely distributed in the corners of the ground in this underground kingdom, absorbing the decaying creatures and waste gases of the underground for a living, few alien beasts will eat them, and relatively speaking, they are not a threat to most alien beasts.

It seems to be the creature at the lowest end of the biological chain of survival, but because it is too low-end, it has a little more taste of indisputability.

"This fluorescent moss is also one of the organisms essential for the formation of the ecosystem of the subterranean world, and even the most important existence to determine the maturity of an underground ecosystem." Without shaking off Charlene's hand, Chu Ci explained softly when he saw Charlene looking at the fluorescent moss on the ground with a little fascination in surprise.

"It's a great honor that we're in a very mature underground dungeon. It is also the dungeon with the highest oxygen content to date. ”

The hedgehog raised his hand, pushed the special glasses on the bridge of his nose, and put the fluorescent roses sampled from the white rose into the miniature laboratory machine in his backpack for testing.

"So far, the oxygen content of this dungeon is higher than the average oxygen content of the surface at 0.5 parts per thousand." Bai Qiang passed the number of jù in his hand to everyone. "And that's just the entrance, and we've just burned a lot of fire."

In other words, the oxygen content here is already much lower than the average oxygen content of the dungeon. As for what is going on inside, no one knows.

If the oxygen level is too high, they may have to give up all combustible-related weapons and abilities.

Otherwise, it might cause an explosion, and then they would all be in danger.

Xia Lin glanced at the dense analysis and identification form in Chu Ci's hand, which marked the proportions and stability of the various substances contained in the samples collected by white roses and hedgehogs.

Charlene blinked and twisted her face without hesitation.

She couldn't read it at all.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Charlene's movements, and the corners of Chu Ci's lips hooked slightly.

Because of the existence of these luminous alien plants, this dark underground kingdom is rendered with a very faint halo, as if it is plain and has a bit of a fairy tale-like dreamy feeling.

It is also because of the existence of these floor lamps that the underground creatures here can really adapt to this dark world, and after discovering foreign enemies, they first occupy the most powerful position - being in the dark.

And at this time, after eating the rhizomes of the Rong Withered Vine, everyone finally had the special abilities of these aborigines.

Although relatively speaking, the visual range of the people is still not large, much worse than many underground creatures, but at least the lack of lights to stand in the dark like a target is already a good thing for everyone. R1152
