Chapter 216: One Life, One Flower, One Fruit
Shi Xin's movements are in order. He grabbed the little gold and silver with his right hand, and then flew diagonally to the right, and the shield of good and evil in his left hand slowed down by half a minute.
Xiao Jinyin was shocked when he heard Shi Xin's loud drink, and when he looked back, Shi Xin had already flown over. At the same time, the water spirit flower that had been standing still actually flew up again, and at this time, the flower pillar had been greatly opened, and Sen Sen's white teeth bit towards the seven-inch position of the little gold and silver. Xiao Jinyin looked back at Shi Xin, the scales at the seven-inch position were not as dense as before, and it was the most vulnerable time.
Shi Xin, who was in the air, was shocked when he saw it, and his heart was terrified: the water spirit flower was so intelligent, not only pretending to be incapacitated, lurking on the shore, but also grasping the fighter plane so accurately, which was beyond the scope of his knowledge of plants.
There was suction in the water, and although Shi Xin used all his strength to jump up, he was still half a minute slower. The scales of the little gold and silver that had not yet fully grown were bitten off several pieces by the water spirit flower, and it happened that because the scales blocked a small bit, Shi Xin's right hand had already arrived. Holding Xiao Jinyin's tail hard, and flicking it back, Xiao Jinyin didn't know that he had walked in the ghost gate of the snakes, and he was able to escape from the pursuit of the column head and fly towards Cai Yan.
The little gold and silver were out of danger, but Shi Xin fell into the water with a "poof". After a short pause, the whole flower was raised high, swaying its stems wildly towards the sky, like a fierce beast roaring in the sky. The next moment, it also plunged into the water with a "poof" and continued to chase and kill Shi Xin.
A person and a flower were violently entangled under the water, stirring up the water splashing in the king's soup. But it didn't take much time, just a moment's work, and Shi Xin was already wrapped around the stem of the water flamina and dragged out of the water.
The flower stems of the flamina are thorny, and a year ago Shi Xin had been stabbed with blood all over his hands. After a year, the thorns became sharper and larger, and being entangled in such a flower stem was like being pierced into it one by one, and the cruelty and gore could not be expressed in words. Not only did the thorns grow up, but the flower stems were also much thicker than before, and a huge force was wrapping around Shi Xin's waist more and more tightly, and it felt like the internal organs were about to be strangled by it.
But Shi Xin had no time to care about the pain at this time, at this time he bared his teeth, and even used the strength to eat, his hands pressed against the thick petals of the water flaming flower, and the sharp teeth of the stigma were an inch away from the tip of his nose, making a "click" sound again. Mucus flowed from the stigma again, dripping onto Shi Xin's wound, causing him to faint in pain. This mucus smells sweet, but it actually has a very strong corrosive effect.
Cai Yan was so anxious that he hid the little gold and silver in his arms, and asked Zhang Rang for help: "Senior, please ......"
Before he finished speaking, he felt a flower in front of him, Zhang Rang had already rushed out, and his sharp voice sounded in mid-air: "Great prince, you must resist it!" The panic in his tone was not much lighter than Cai Yan.
One person and one flower only stalemate for a moment, and suddenly heard a crisp sound of "pop", and the petals of the water spirit flower were broken off a piece. There was one less force point, and the flower column of the water flamina suddenly jumped up, and the sharp teeth bit into Shi Xin's nose.
Shi Xin was aware of it when he broke the petals, and when his waist was bent at the limit, he was almost about to break. Time was too hasty, he closed his eyes in reverse, and hurriedly shoved his right hand forward, stuffing the petals into the mouth of the flower column.
The "click" sound suddenly stopped, and even the force wrapped around Shi Xin's waist became a lot lighter. Shi Xin opened an eye and was surprised to find that the sharp teeth of the stigma were actually "eating" the petals, and the way they ate was actually very enjoyable, very gentle, not at all like the murderous appearance just now.
A petal was quickly eaten, and Shi Xin broke off another piece, and when it was finished, it was delivered to its mouth without delay.
Zhang Rang introduced it before, there is not much information about the water spirit, only mentioned in some ancient Taoist scriptures. According to a rough introduction in the Taoist Sutra, the water spirit flower only blooms once in its life and bears fruit only once. The flowering time is three years, and if the fruiting fails, the whole plant withers. However, during these three years, the flamindrish will become very violent, and will not devour creatures when it encounters them.
In order to make the water spirit flower bear fruit, Zhang Rang took great pains and tried many methods, but it still couldn't work. There were a few times when I was almost bitten by it, and if I hadn't escaped with a seventh-rank cultivator, I would have had a few big scars on it. Its mucus exudes a sweet fragrance, but it is extremely corrosive, if it is immersed in the wound, it will definitely cause endless trouble, and it will also leave a big scar when it is cured, after all, not everyone has a moonstone that can heal itself.
Shi Xin meticulously fed the stigma, and his head was racing: no matter how wise the water spirit flower was, it could not jump out of the category of plants. Now that the flowers have bloomed, they want to bear fruit. It's just that I never expected that the method of the result turned out to be that the stigma ate the petals. This proves that it is a type of "complete flower", that is, a hermaphroditic flower. However, in general, the pollen from the stamens falls on the female flower, so that the fruit can be produced in the ovary. Who would have thought that these huge petals are both male flowers and pollen, sacrificing themselves to give birth to the next generation. This is much more tragic than the male flowers that fall off naturally after successful pollination.
"When I heard that it was fruitful, it was also the time when the whole plant withered. Alas, it is really a flower in one life, and the fruit falls and the flower fails. ”
Thinking of this, Shi Xin suddenly felt that the water spirit flower was not so cruel, in the final analysis, it was also to reproduce the next generation.
At this time, all the thick petals have been fed, and the whole flower is only a bare flower column, and the original stiff and straight flower column is stuffed with the lower part, and I think it should be a ovary here.
After a while, the sharp teeth on the stigma gradually fell out, and the mucus no longer flowed from inside. The opening of the stigma gradually closes, and the ovary becomes larger and larger, occupying most of the columella. At the same time, the leaves that had been lush turned pale and yellow, then gray and fell to the ground. The branches were not spared, and slowly withered and dried up. As far as the eye can see, a trace of energy is transmitted from the leaves to the branches, and then from the branches to the flower stems and finally into the ovary. In the end, it was the thorny stem that withered, and when it fell to the ground, the flower house had already absorbed the energy and fell to the ground alone. It is somewhat similar to the state of flowers, and the whole flower room is trembling slightly, like a beating heart.
When the ovary grows to a certain point, the volume has never grown again, but the beating speed is getting faster and faster, and it feels like the outer skin will be cracked at any time, revealing the true face of the fruit inside.
Shi Xin and the other three sat on the ground, looking intently at the ovary on the ground, and they were reluctant to blink more than if they didn't even blink, for fear of missing the moment of witnessing history.
Suddenly, the ovary on the ground throbbed violently a few times, and several cracks were born, followed by the "Karma" one
There was a crisp sound, and a smooth, round fruit was revealed. At the same time, a rich aroma permeates the surroundings, which is refreshing and appetizing.
Zhang Rangbiao was both surprised and anxious, and said in a trembling voice: "Quick, quick, the fruit only has half an hour to take, and half of you are each of you." ”
Shi Xin was affected by him, quickly picked up the fruit and held it on the palm of his left hand, and sacrificed the sword of the Son of Heaven, but frowned when he put down the sword.
"Father, you have been guarding the water spirit flower for a long time, and you have bothered us with it, and you deserve to eat a portion of this fruit. When he was moved, he called him "Father".
Cai Yan listened to them call "big prince" and "father", and looked at them with a pair of beautiful eyes, and his curiosity was even stronger.
Zhang Rang was moved: "The eldest prince can think of the old slave, and the old slave is already grateful. Alas, I am old, and I will live a reclusive life in the future. You still have a long way to go, and the Han Dynasty needs your strength. What's more, I'm already at the seventh level of cultivation, and I have self-knowledge, which is almost the highest cultivation I can achieve, and eating it is a waste of resources. ”
"If you eat it, it will be effective, how can it be wasted"
Shi Xin persuaded for a while, Zhang Rang's tone was categorical, and his face became grim as he spoke.
Shi Xin knew that he wouldn't eat it, and after thanking him solemnly, he carefully cut the fruit. I saw that the inside was red and blue, with delicate quality and more fragrant.
"Yan'er, you don't have the ability to detoxify, wait for me to eat it first and see how it goes. ”
He took half of the fruit to his mouth and ate it, and the fruit melted in his mouth, and he smacked his tongue, and suddenly opened his mouth and spit out two peanut-sized cores.
Shi Xin had already had the ability to detect poison, and signaled that Cai Yan could eat it, and Cai Yan also spit out two cores.
Shi Xin smiled and said, "Now it's okay, with the seeds, the water flamina will not be extinct." Let's bury them near the soup and let them spread out again. ”
Cai Yan raised his eyebrows: "Originally, I thought that Shui Lihua died a tragic death, but in this way, it is the best result." With that, he handed the two seeds to Shi Xin.
At this moment, Xiao Jinyin, who had been watching Shi Xin on the ground, couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly jumped up, and with a small mouth, a seed was swallowed by it. Before the first one was completely swallowed, the snake's mouth had already turned to the other one and swallowed it.
Shi Xin's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly grabbed the snake's tail, lifted it upside down, and clasped it with his left hand to prevent it from taking advantage of it.
"Spit it out, or ......," he suddenly stopped, and thought blankly, "Is it okay for a snake to eat it?" if it is beneficial, it would be fine to give it one.
"Senior, does the information say that the seeds can be taken?"
Zhang Rang pondered for a while, "That's not recorded." But since the fruit can be taken, the seeds should not be a big problem. ”
Shi Xin thought to himself: "The little gold and silver are foreign beasts, since people can eat them, it should be fine." Moreover, snakes have a much stronger digestive system than humans, and if humans eat them, they will excrete them, but snakes may be able to digest them. This little guy has been hungry for this thing since the beginning, and since the fruit can't be given to it, it doesn't hurt to eat a seed. ”
After making up his mind, Shi Xin handed over the remaining three seeds to Zhang Rang, and returned to the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave with the small gold and silver, and left it alone on the ground.
