Chapter 280: The Flower Thief (Part 1)
The picture from the "tentacles" is very clear, and it seems to have its own exposure effect, Rao is the place where the flowers bloom is obviously much darker, and he can still see the appearance there.
Cheng Lin's heart moved slightly, and he didn't understand what this was.
"How can there be white roses?"
He wondered, wondering if this was a plant in the frozen soil that he didn't know about. After all, he didn't go deep into the ground in the deduction.
It's just that, when he saw this flower, he instinctively thought of the one he had left behind in the deduction, but the color was very different.
"Gotta check it out."
Cheng Lin opened his eyes and took the initiative to break the "tentacles".
Then stood up and packed up her backpack, Cao Wei had recovered most of her at this time, heard the voice, opened her eyes, and said, "Are you leaving?" ”
"Yes."
"Where are we going next? Looking for that kind of beast to hunt? ”
Cheng Lin picked up the backpack and put on the windproof glasses on the ground for her, and then said in a deep voice: "No, let's go pick flowers first." ”
……
Under the frozen soil, it extends in all directions.
Cheng Lin followed the traces detected by the "tentacles" and walked through the complex cave passages, Cao Wei followed behind with a curious expression, and the more she walked, the more curious the color on her face became.
She had already seen that Cheng Lin was not walking aimlessly, but seemed to have already understood the route, and every time he reached an intersection, he turned extremely decisively, as if he had his own direction in his heart, and kept moving towards a certain goal.
If it was, at first this frozen soil was a smear of darkness for her, then now, following Cheng Lin, it seems that she will not get lost again.
She followed step by step, a pair of black and white eyes behind the glasses blinked, curiously thinking that this was probably one of Cheng Lin's secrets, right?
Well, it's better not to ask more, but to keep your mouth shut, don't tell anyone who asks, and hide it carefully as if it were your own secret.
She made up her mind in her heart, and suddenly, she saw Cheng Lin stop.
"Why did it stop?" She asked.
This one almost caused her to be rear-ended.
I saw Cheng Lin in front of him raise his right hand, make a gesture, and say, "It's here." ”
It has indeed arrived.
When the two of them passed through the last passage, their eyes suddenly opened up, and a small space appeared in front of them.
Much higher, wider, and larger than ordinary passages.
Visually, it is about the size of an ordinary bedroom, and the height is more, about four or five meters.
The space was pitch black, and Cheng Lin had already extinguished the "Youyan" at this time, returned the fist gloves to her, and turned his palm to ignite an orange-red flame.
The "cryogenic fireball" is a bit outdated against the enemy, but the lighting is still quite useful.
The flames dispelled the darkness, and in the field of vision, there seemed to be a pit in the middle of this empty cavern, covered with ice and snow, which was not quite the same as the rest of the place, and in the middle, above a piece of frost, a flower was swaying, and at this moment the bud had cracked and was about to bloom.
"What is this? A spirit plant? Cao Wei exclaimed.
"I don't know, I'll take a look." Cheng Lin's face looked unpredictable against the backdrop of the flames.
He stepped forward, gradually approaching, when his right foot stepped on the edge of the pit in the middle, he suddenly frowned, turned on the "wide area vision", the next moment, the invisible gray mist spread, the perspective rose, he suddenly found that the flower was as dazzling as a burning torch, which proved that there was a huge aura accumulated in it!
And this was not surprising to him, what really made Cheng Lin's eyes suddenly widen was that under his feet, under the ice and snow of this pit, there was actually a piece of light lit up!
Something down there?
Cheng Lin thought for a while, and injected two grains of "golden dust" in his body into the fireball, so the low-temperature fireball suddenly expanded, and the color became brighter, and then he flicked it to the ground, and the fireball whistled down, and began to melt the ice and snow under his feet on the premise of avoiding the flowers.
"Sneer~"
The ice and snow quickly melted and turned into steam, filling the field of vision, and after a while, when the steam dissipated, Cheng Lin and Cao Wei finally saw what the ice and snow were hiding under their feet.
Corpse!
It turned out to be the corpse of a snow beast!
It is obviously larger than ordinary snow beasts, and its appearance is different, the white fur is wet, like frozen meat taken out of the freezer, perhaps because of the ice, its corpse has not decayed, maintaining its original appearance, lying on the ground with its back to the sky, its chest and heart, there is a delicate puncture wound, and the surrounding blood has long coagulated and become ice crystals.
As for the white rose, it is growing in its belly!
In other words, this flower grows on the corpse of a snow beast!
"Is this a strange beast?" Cao Wei gasped.
Cheng Lin looked down at it calmly and said, "Yes." ”
But I added a sentence in my heart: It's not an ordinary snow beast, but an elite monster with more than four grades.
The wound that killed it was so familiar, it was clearly pierced by Cheng Lin with a sword in the deduction.
That is, this snow beast is one of the many he has ever killed!
"The body is still there? Strange. ”
Cheng Lin was very curious, as far as he knew, the snow beast would eat the corpses of the same kind, and the humans in the dungeon would also eat it, but he didn't expect it to be retained and become the nourishment of this spirit plant.
Walking over the corpse, Cheng Lin squatted down and looked at the flower, only to find that it was not pure white, but translucent, like glass, but the petals and flower paths were filled with white smoke, some of which were like the smoke of a cigarette, but it was much purer.
Cheng Lin is no stranger to this, the aura is highly condensed, and when it is almost liquefied, it is like this.
At the beginning, the king of snow beasts evolved into the earth emperor, and the clouds and mist he absorbed were also like this.
"Interesting, is this a snow beast as a carrier?"
Cheng Lin thought secretly, stretched out his hand to pluck the flower, and then thoughtfully.
Cao Wei next to her couldn't help but swallow and spit when she saw it, "You...... You don't want to eat it, do you? ”
"Am I that reckless? Who knows if it's poisonous? However, judging from this level of aura, it must be an extremely valuable spiritual plant. ”
Cheng Lin explained, put it into the initial space with his backhand, and then said, "I estimate that there may be more than this one in this frozen soil, let's look for it again, try our best to collect some, and when we are sure that it is not poisonous, we will eat it separately." ”
"Yes." The little girl nodded vigorously, and she could see that this thing was absolutely precious, "But, can you still find it?" ”
Cheng Lin laughed when he heard this, turned around, tapped his eyebrows with his index finger, and said confidently: "Of course." ”
……
Next, the two started a new task, and Cao Wei gave it a code name, called: "Flower Picking Operation"
The two of them turned into flower thieves, like gophers, frantically walking underground.
The "Tentacles" ability is really easy to use, and after getting acquainted with it, Cheng Lin can even separate three independent spiritual tentacles at the same time and explore in three directions at the same time.
Each tentacle consumes almost the same amount of aura, which is a large consumption, but the efficiency is suddenly increased by 300%.
As for his strict requirements for aura manipulation, it was not very difficult for Cheng Lin - his aura manipulation class had always been a perfect score.
The most troublesome part is probably to receive pictures from three directions at the same time, which is very uncomfortable, similar to a person, watching three fast-playing screens at the same time, and remembering the picture of each screen, which also takes time to get used to it, and after getting acquainted, Cheng Lin feels that he can divide four or five at the same time...... And even more tentacles.
"Find another one and go."
"Hey, there's that over here, too?"
"Corporal Xiaocao, let's pull it out!"
The two of them searched all the way, occasionally walking through the frozen ground, and would encounter scattered snow beasts, so they killed them, and then devoured their souls with black flags to strengthen their battle spirits.
Cheng Lin gradually discovered that the number of rose spirit plants was indeed scarce, and they were mainly concentrated inland, so the two of them gradually got closer and closer to the central area of the floating land.
Walking underground, not knowing the time, as if they were cut off from the world, they didn't know that just above their heads, across the thick layer of soil, the men and horses of the Six Divisions were engaged in a fierce battle with the Snow Beast Legion.
……
Ground.
Gunshots rang out from time to time, with occasional roars of abilities falling.
The Sixth Division explores the center of the team, and Yuan Xinglu, the head of the division, is located here, staring ahead against the snow.
At this moment, it is already dawn.
It was early in the morning.
The darkness receded on the snowy field, and the world became pure white and dazzling.
In front of Yuan Xinglu, the flat snow field suddenly rose from the ground, and it actually rose into a mountain peak hundreds of meters high.
It's a snowy mountain!
It was covered with huge holes, and within that hole, there were countless dense snow beasts!
This snow-capped mountain turned out to be the lair of snow beasts!
"Chief! It's dawn, do you want to attack? A small lapel came up on the snow and asked.
Yuan Xinglu didn't look at him, but just asked, "What time is it?" ”
