Chapter XXVII: Death

"There's a drop!"

Seeing these magic gold coins that exuded yellow and clear metallic light and had an almost perfect texture, whether it was Shen Xia, Qian Xing, or Jiang Zhenzhi, their eyes lit up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, this is the first drop since they crossed, and the only pity is ...... The number is too small.

There are only 6 gold coins in total.

In the game "Legend", such a small amount of money is only afraid that many players will not bother to pick it up.

After the initial excitement, Jiang Zhenzhi muttered a few complaints, but still picked up the gold coin as soon as possible and divided it equally among the three people.

Since this battle was not difficult, Shen Xia only stopped for a moment, and continued to take the two of them to start the investigation. After deliberation, they prepared to search both sides of the road, centering on the location where the unjust spirit had been killed. If there's nothing to be found nearby, head to the ruins of the long-abandoned village in the woodland.

"Let's find the south side first."

Under Shen Xia's decision, the three of them entered the woods from the roadbed.

After the first few dozen steps, the sparse bushes became dense. The ground was overgrown with weeds and dead vines, and it was very difficult to walk through them. Shen Xia and the others had to frequently wield the wooden swords in their hands to cut the branches, leaves, and thorns that blocked the way along the way. It is still a very sinful thing to walk in it, and I have to grit my teeth and persevere.

After about two hours, they walked a large distance on the south side of the road.

There was no movement on the Evil Charm Disk.

Jiang Zhenzhi and Qian Xing, who had been mentally high, couldn't hold it anymore and felt that they could turn back the same way. Shen Xia also felt that there should be no results if the search continued, so he took the two of them to Lubei to investigate. He had a vague intuition that that unjust soul was probably not an accident, let alone an exception. Since there is no harvest in the south of the road, perhaps something will be found on the north side.

What he didn't know was that he was only half right.

The trio did make a discovery, but what they found was not what they had hoped for, but a death that brought fear!

At a location about one kilometer northwest of the Soul Kill Point.

The evil talisman disk still hadn't moved, and after searching here, the three of them were somewhat suspicious that there should be no more unjust souls in the abandoned woodland. Perhaps, the unjust soul that attacked Li Ju earlier was really just an accident.

"Anyway, I have an evil charm in my hand, what are you afraid of!"

Saying this, Jiang Zhenzhi unscrewed the bamboo tube, took a big sip of water, and looked a little relaxed: "Even if there is really an unjust soul approaching, we can find out in advance!" ”

Although Shen Xia faintly felt that something was wrong, out of confidence in the talisman in his hand, coupled with his unfamiliarity with Jiang Zhenzhi, he still didn't say anything in the end - he subconsciously felt that there should be no problem.

It was this carelessness that made the three of them not notice the subtle changes in their surroundings in time.

As early as a few dozen steps away from this side, the surrounding birds and insects quietly disappeared, leaving only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, which was a little abnormal.

"That's not right!"

Shen Xia still maintained a sense of vigilance after all, and after continuing to walk forward for more than ten steps, he stopped and looked left and right under the uneasiness in his heart. But as far as the eye could see, there was nothing suspicious. If it is said to be an unjust soul, there is no indication from the rune.

He couldn't figure out where that uneasiness came from.

However, Shen Xia understood after a second.

Monster attack, from underground!

If the ground is barren, the omen will be very obvious. But in this woodland, the ground is overgrown with wild grass, and there is a layer of soft dead branches and leaves on top. Only by looking intently can you see that there are two thin lines that are slightly raised, quickly approaching from a distance, and suddenly breaking through the ground!

The moment he felt the ground shake slightly under his feet, Shen Xia knew that it was bad.

"Be careful!"

He shouted, and his body leaped backwards. Only half a second later, a thick, flexible root emerged from the ground and swept past where he had stood.

If Shen Xia reacted a little slowly, most of them would be swept down by this violent root, and then rolled up and tied up!

However, Jiang Zhenzhi's luck was not so good.

Slightly careless, he didn't dodge at the first time, or said that he wanted to dodge but it was too late, and subconsciously chose to draw his sword to meet it. It's a pity that the flexible roots are far stronger than expected. Jiang Zhenzhi's hasty attack was unable to use all the attack aura, so he only cut a small gap in the roots, and then he was swept down, tied up, and dragged forward.

"Chase!"

Shen Xia, who escaped the catastrophe, knew that Jiang Zhenzhi must not be dragged away like this, otherwise he would definitely die. immediately greeted Qian Xing and began to chase after him.

It's just that the two of them only ran four or five steps before they stopped in shock.

Not far from their journey, a huge plant burst out of the ground, revealing its hideous form. It is more than two meters tall and has long, corn-like leaves. It's just that the emerald green leaves are faintly covered with blood-colored veins, like human blood vessels, which looks shocking. In the center of the thick stem and leaf, a yellow cross-shaped four-leaf bud is held. The edges of the open petals were covered with jagged teeth that resembled teeth, wriggling and retracting, not like flowers, but more like the big open mouth of a monster eating people!

"Cannibal Flower!"

Shen Xia's face was full of bitterness, and he recognized this terrifying monster.

Like the Phantom Mushroom he encountered during his night hunt, the Man-Eating Flower is a movable plant. But its threat is many times stronger than the Phantom Mushroom. In the Ginkgo Valley, the man-eating flower is at the top of the food chain comparable to the forest snowman and the poisonous spider!

Because it can lurk underground, use its roots to catch prey, and can also use man-eating petals to infuse venom to make prey lose its ability to resist, this kind of man-eating flower can even be hunted by wolves and leopards.

If you succeed in a sneak attack and fail to break free at the first time, the low-level professional will almost definitely die!

At this moment, Jiang Zhenzhi fell into tragedy.

The wooden sword in his hand was knocked out by the roots that retracted after the sneak attack on Shen Xia, and then was tied up by another root and forcibly stuffed into the large stamens. The cross-shaped four-leaf petals snap together violently, and the jagged leaf edges snap together. The already amazing strength, with the blessing of the cannibal flower's instinctive attack aura, instantly broke through Jiang Zhenzhi's defense.

In all fairness, if Shen Xia and Qian Xing came to the rescue immediately, there was actually a glimmer of chance.

Jiang Zhenzhi is a professional after all, and like Shen Xia, he owes a cloth coat on credit, so that he will not be killed by one blow. But the problem is that both Shen Xia and Qian Xing were frightened by this monster whose combat power was comparable to that of a poisonous spider. Especially Shen Xia, who encountered poisonous spiders during night hunting and witnessed Shang Wu being killed, even if he has become a professional, he still has a little shadow of the scene at that time.

It was this shadow that made him not rush decisively after seeing the cannibal flower.

In such a short period of time, by the time Shen Xia gritted his teeth and wanted to rescue, it was already too late.

The petals of the man-eating flower tore through his body and infused him with venom. Under the dual effects of blood loss and poisoning, Jiang Zhenzhi's death seems to be a foregone conclusion!

Unless, he can take out the Sun Water series of potions.

It's a pity that the three of them are all newcomers who have just changed careers, so naturally there is no such life-saving miracle medicine.

Seeing that the situation was irreparable, Shen Xia could only give up the desperate Jiang Zhenzhi, pull Qian Xing and turn around and flee.

Just three or four seconds later, the screams behind him stopped abruptly.

Only the cannibal flowers and leaves that have drunk the blood are fluttering in the wind with satisfaction, cheering for the full meal just now!
