Chapter 20: Lulunaka Requires Materials

Marina and the others walked into the passage to the southeast-facing sewers, the downward-sloping pipes, the ground was slippery and slippery, and there were patches of slippery moss growing on the ground, and these sewer mosses that didn't need light to survive only needed the water dripping from above, and they could survive tenaciously, whether it was clean or dirty water - even if it wasn't water, as long as it was liquid, they would absorb it. Even blood is no exception. This also makes this moss not only slippery, but also dangerous...... If your skin comes into contact with this rotting moss, you're afraid it's not just a matter of injury, if you fall here......

"I warn you, if you wrestle in such a place, what awaits you is not just ridicule, but also the pain of running into rotten moss. Your skin will be red and swollen, and you will itch to scratch off a layer of skin, which you will have to endure for weeks and spend a lot of money on good medicine. ”

Under the kind reminder of the short axe, whether it is Marina or Ekou, every step is cautious, for fear that he will fall to the ground, this is not just a simple matter of losing face, no one wants to suffer such torture. Compared to newcomers to the sewers like Marina and Eko, Shortaxe and Chris, who continued to walk ahead, seemed to be at ease. For those who have been working hard and risk-taking in the sewers for a long time, the rotting moss on the ground is like a small grass, and they have become accustomed to it, and as long as they step on it, even if they don't realize what is under their feet, their bodies have already made the best choices and reactions on their own.

However, in this five-person team, there is another person who is slightly different. Lulunaka has a cane that gives her more support when she walks, and every time the end of the cane hits the ground, it provides a fulcrum for her not to fall to the ground due to slipping under her feet. Her cane struck the ground, each striking sound small but crisp, leaving an echo in the pipe. The sound of footsteps, the sound of feet leaving the ground as they came up, the sound of Lulunaka's cane falling to the ground, and the crackling sound of the flame burning on the torch all mingled in a strange sound in the long, dark space...... Or rather a strange kind of music.

They continued on until they reached the end of the pipe. The exit at the end was much smaller than the pipe itself, and the pipe could hold three or four people walking side by side, but this exit could only be passed by people one by one, and a tall warrior like a dagger would have to bend down to pass.

Chris went over first, and after a moment his voice came, "Safety, come here." ”

Behind him, Eko and the others passed through the narrow exit one by one, and the last one was a short axe that came out bent over.

This time, they came to a more spacious space, larger than the rat path. It was also a circular passage, with the top of the arc above it, far from the people standing on the ground, farther away than the ceiling that could be seen from the rat path, and which gave the illusion of imminence. When they left the pipe, they could see that the passage in front of them led to the left and right, the right passage was sealed by a pile of stones, and the left passage could not see the end. Because it is too spacious, and it is in the almost sealed space underground, the slightest sound can bring a lot of movement. The ground was littered with gravel, some of which were sharp and sharp, and no fool would walk on them to torture his shoes and the soles of his feet, which were of a slightly inferior quality and would have been poked out or scraped out. There wasn't much to walk around, and in addition to gravel, weeds, and strange plants they couldn't even name, it didn't look like something they could touch casually. Since there is such a thing as rotting moss, it is not surprising that there are more harmful plants in this sewer.

But not everyone can't help but love these plants, and at least one person knows about them...... Or should I say two people.

"That's miscanthus. Lulunaka, who followed behind Marina, like a chick following a hen, pointed to one of the plants, if the plant was miscanthus, then if it grew in such a place, the vitality seemed to be too tenacious, even if it was miscanthus, it needed sunlight. And listening to Lulunaka's name, this is indeed not an ordinary miscanthus, and looking at the length of this thing, it is far better than ordinary miscanthus, and it looks more tough, so it stands straight there.

"I've seen this plant on the PokΓ©dex. Marina also looked at the strange miscanthus, "Because it is very suitable for use as a prop for hanging, it was given such a name." ”

"But no one would use this as a hanging. "There's a linen rope to use, so there's no need to go underground to get the noose." ”

"And this stuff is tricky. Axe, who was walking behind, overheard the conversation between the two and interjected, "This thing is not as gentle as the miscanthus on the ground...... Miscanthus can easily cut your fingers, but there's more to it than just breaking the skin. ”

"What's different about it?" asked Ekou, curious.

"Ask this little girl who knows a lot about plants. Shortaxe tossed the troublesome work to Lulunaka, "You're going to have to prove what you're up to." ”

Luluna nodded again and again, answering Eko's question, "Because it grows underground and has no sunlight, this plant is very hungry for everything that can provide nutrients, especially liquids, because liquids are the easiest to absorb...... Someone had been cut by the skewer, and then it wrapped itself around the man's fingers, sucking it like a leech. Because it is tough and soft, and it is also wrapped around the fingers, it is very difficult to cut, but it is much trickier than leeches. In the end, the man paid for a finger to get rid of the blood-sucking plant, and if he didn't, his entire palm would probably be destroyed. ”

After listening to Lulunaka's explanation, Eko took a few steps away from the miscanthus grass, which grew on the side of the passage, growing piece by piece, and what seemed to be a little green suddenly became a terrifying and bloody existence. It's not just Eko who is like this, Marina has also distanced herself from these plants, and as for Shortaxe and Chris, their original position and path are far away from these plants. The closest thing to the miscanthus was Lulunaka, who stood a few paces away from them and followed Marina.

"As I said earlier, miscanthus can easily cut through the skin, and if you use force, it can leave very deep blood on the skin. Eko said, his face slightly ugly, "If you put this on your neck......"

Hatchet laughed, "That will be very ugly, after the neck is covered by this thing, half of your body's blood will be sucked dry before you suffocate to death." Whether you die of blood loss or suffocation depends on luck. ”

"Why look at luck?"

"Because that determines how ugly your death is, or how painful it is to die. "I have a man I know, and that's how he died." It was a fool and an unlucky man, who landed in the miscanthus bushes, and after that......" he shrugged, "and I was afraid you would throw up." ”

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Marina laughed, but there was really no smile on her face.

Lulunaka called out to Marina, "Can I go pick some of those miscanthus?" Seeing everyone's expressions, Lulunaka quickly waved her hand and said nervously: "I know how to make those miscanthus grass settle down, there will be no danger!"

"Are you sure?" said Shortaxe, frowning, "if you get caught up in those things, I won't save you, at most I'll help you cut off your hands or feet." ”

Luluna nodded repeatedly, indicating that she had listened to the "advice" of the Hatchet. As she walked towards the place where the miscanthus was growing, Marina followed, "These things are at least afraid of fire, aren't they?" said to her.

Lulunaka smiled, "Yes, at least they're afraid of fire, so I dared to get closer." ”
