Immortal Mystery Chapter 41 Bloodthistle
"It's ...... Bloodthistle? "Seeing the scene in front of me, I suddenly remembered a strange plant blood thistle that my grandfather had mentioned in his "Qingyi Miscellaneous Records".
"Bloodthistle? What is Blood Thistle? Lu Daxun asked anxiously.
I said with a heavy face, "The blood thistle is a huge plant like a dandelion. Its seeds are harmless in their normal state, but they have bloodthirsty properties. As long as they encounter blood or animal wounds, these seeds will follow the bloody breath to rush up, take root and grow on the target creature, and suck a lot of blood until the fluff is all soaked in blood and turns blood red before leaving the target, so it is called blood thistle! It has been recorded that once the seeds of this blood thistle take root in the target, they will develop a great adhesion and will never loosen until they have absorbed enough blood...... And there is a very peculiar thing about this blood thistle, that is, only the blood thistle seeds that have sucked blood can take root and sprout......"
"What about the seeds that haven't sucked blood?"
"I can only drift around, and finally turn into dirt......"
Everyone suddenly realized: no wonder everyone else had nothing to do, only Liu Minzhong, who had just been injured at the ramp, was besieged by fluff.
Lu Daxun hurriedly asked: "Since you know the origin of this plant, then you must have a way to save them, right?" β
I shook my head gloomily and said, "I'm sorry, although I know the origin of this blood thistle, I don't know how to save them......"
"Is it all we have to do and watch them die?" Lu Daxun held his head in his hands and shouted with a few cries.
At this time, Liu Minzhong and the three of them struggled to gradually become weaker, and even their voices changed from screams to moans, and now they can't even hear the moans. Only the three of them were left lying there on the ground, motionless, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. However, the seeds on their bodies had become blood-red at this time, and there was no trace of white.
Jiang Jie couldn't bear to look at it directly, and asked tremblingly, "Why don't they move...... Isn't it already ......?"
Before Jiang Jie could finish speaking, he heard three consecutive sounds, "bang", "bang", and three red blood mist exploded on the three people. Countless blood-stained blood-thistle seeds were blown out and splashed everywhere, and we were forced to dodge everywhere for fear of getting some of themβwho knows what the consequences would be if we got them.
When we looked at Liu Minzhong and the three of them lying on the ground, everyone couldn't help frowning, and I only felt that my stomach was turning up for a while. After one glance at them, many people immediately turned their heads away and did not dare to look at them again, but even so, the terrifying scene still seemed to be right in front of them, and the disgusting feeling continued to strike.
"Wow~" Jiang Jie over there spit out directly. The jar that had been guarding her side pulled her aside while holding back the acid water gushing in her stomach, gently patting her back.
Liu Minzhong: At this time, there is no good place for them. All the heads, faces, necks, and hands that are exposed are no longer the human skin that is clothed on the outside. As for the flesh and blood under the human skin, it has also become like pockmarks at this moment, pitted, like a honeycomb, and like being scalded beyond recognition by splashing boiling oil. Every pit on their body was a mark of a blood-thistle seed pulled out. Some of the blood thistle seeds on their bodies took up their clothes and flesh when they collapsed, causing Liu Minzhong's clothes to tear holes one by one...... And that's probably why there are so many holes in the clothes of the corpse I saw earlier.
Most of the blood-thistle seeds flew directly, and I guess that the flesh and skin involved in these seeds must have been uprooted, but they couldn't carry them through their clothes, so they used their strength to break away alone when they flew away, leaving the flesh in their clothes...... Of course, I will never lift the clothes of Liu Minzhong and the others again to inspect them for myself.
"Bastard!" Lu Daxun gritted his teeth and scolded angrily.
There were also a few people next to him who were excited: "Lao Liu, they didn't do anything, so their lives were lost in a daze...... He died so miserably, and he didn't have a whole body......"
"What blood thistle? Isn't it just a few dandelions? Let's take it and avenge Lao Liu! β
"Yes, uproot them, let them cut off their offspring, so that they can never harm anyone again!"
A few people said they would do it, and they got started directly, and each found a blood thistle and held it upside down and pulled it up.
Professor Jin sighed and persuaded, "Don't bother with that effort, there are so many blood thistles here, how many have you pulled out?" β
"Pulling out a tree counts as one!"
"Why don't you burn it with fire?"
"Burn with fire? So where are we people hiding? Back in the ramp? β
As he was talking, he saw that the three people on the blood thistle kept exerting force, and the flower stems and leaves on the blood thistle were also shaking, but they didn't come out of the soil, and it seemed that the roots below were extremely strong.
"I don't believe in evil yet!" One of them rolled up his arms and sleeves, and with all his strength, finally pulled the whole blood-totle out of the soil at once. Maybe the force was too great, and after the man pulled out the blood thistle, he fell on his back and fell, but he still scolded and scolded in his mouth: "Fuck, see if you are powerful or Lao Tzu is powerful, tell you to fight with Lao Tzu ......."
But when we saw the blood thistle he pulled out, our faces turned pale. Jiang Jie even screamed.
Under the roots of the thistle, there was a skull. Those roots are tightly wrapped around the skull, which can be said to be inseparable, and it is precisely because of this skull that this blood thistle is so difficult to pull out.
"Where did this skull come from? Could it be that he is also Cao Xuan's person? Someone asked.
Master Liang whispered a few words beside Mo Ji, and Mo Ji pointed to the other two people who were pulling out the blood thistle just now and said, "You two go and pull out two more trees to take a look!" β
The two of them saw that there were skeletons under the roots, so they naturally didn't want to do it, but since the boss ordered, even if they were a little unwilling, they had no choice but to do it. Sure enough, the two blood thistles also carried a skull under them. After that, several more trees were uprooted one after another, and they all had the same result.
"So it seems that there is a skull under every bloodthistle?" Uncle Xu asked.
Master Liang walked over and took a look, and directly ordered people: "Dig down and dig again!" Immediately several men came up and dug up with sapper shovels. But nothing was found.
"Looks like there's only these skulls down there, and there's no corpse!" Liang Shiyou said.
"In this way, these skulls are not Cao Xuan's people!" Master Liang came to a conclusion.
