Chapter 40: Saving Lives

"What about the others?" Mo Ran asked. If these plants could tie him up unconsciously, then the others would be in a similar situation.

"They should all be trapped." Rog looked around, and the sound of alarms could be heard in a dozen or so flytraps around him. Mo Ran moved slightly, and turned off the alarm on the heavy armor. And the sliced flytrap behind him was recovering rapidly. The incision was restored at a speed visible to the naked eye, which made Rogge and Mo Ran feel a chill when they saw this scene.

"What the hell is this?" Rog cursed, then raised the blaster in his hand to give the flytrap a shot. A shot at close range, a powerful bullet instantly tore apart the recovering flytrap, and at the same time, the violent shock wave also made Rogge and Mo Ran fly upside down.

Although I was a little embarrassed, I was not injured. At this time, the surrounding flytraps shook violently, and some of the flytraps affected by shrapnel fragments shook, and then contracted again, spraying out a lot of colored powder.

"Be careful, don't inhale." Rog shouted loudly, and when he got up, he took the helmet from his backpack and put it on his heavy armor. This is not the time to save. Mo Ran still felt that his brain couldn't react, and he didn't know why. But he struggled to put the helmet in his backpack on to prevent him from inhaling the hallucinogenic powder again. He didn't dare to imagine if he could escape if he was trapped again. He had seen the benefits of these powders before.

The powder fell in mid-air, and it really looked as magnificent as the scene in a fairy tale. Then dozens of slender vines shot out of those flycage-like plants, tied Mo Ran and Rogge, and then ripped them into those flytraps.

"I hate vines." Seeing these vines that were not very strong, Mo Ran cursed, and forcefully tore off these slender vines that bound him. His body was still a little soft, probably because the green mucus had an anesthetic and corrosive effect, making him very weak even after he came out.

After the powder landed in mid-air, some humanoid elves flying in mid-air flew out in the distance, and then cautiously collected the powder sprayed by those plants. Mo Ran looked at the humanoid elves with some astonishment. When he was trapped, he had also seen those elves, but what he didn't expect was that even though he had escaped the control of psychedelics, he would still see these elves again.

"I'm not going to get hit again!" It was his first thought, but this time there was no alarm coming from the heavy armor.

Mo Ran didn't know why these elves were collecting these powders, but it was definitely useful, and their relationship with these plants was like a symbiotic relationship. The elves help them take care of it, and when there is prey, the powder sprayed by these plants is the harvest of the elves. Of course, in the absence of prey, these plants will occasionally spray too much hallucinogenic powder for the elves to gather.

This was something that instantly came to Mo Ran's mind. And when those vines saw that they couldn't trap the two people in front of them again, the flytrap that trapped the dozen or so warriors fled quickly into the distance.

"What's going on?" Rogge looked surprised, not because of the plant's ability to escape, but because of the plant's ability to think, which was no different from that of a predator. After not getting more prey, it is acceptable to choose to keep the prey you have already obtained, even if you lose some.

Mo Ran immediately raised his gun and shot at the flytraps in the distance. The huge recoil made Mo Ran's arm feel powerless again, but that shot had already hit an escaped flytrap. Mo Ran is not worried about accidentally injuring the comrades inside, with the protection of heavy armor, the lives of those soldiers will not be directly killed by the power of the blaster gun, but it is inevitable to suffer a little crime. Of course, if you accidentally hit the head directly without helmet protection, then there is nothing. But it's better than not trying to watch them get taken away. Who knows what else this plant is capable of.

After the surrounding flytraps sensed that someone had escaped, several of the surrounding flytraps quickly stretched out vines to tie up the warrior again.

Rog had already jumped out by this time and shot at several flytraps around him. Because of the distance, he was not knocked away by the shock wave from the explosion of the bullet this time. However, even though Rogge exerted extraordinary efforts to smash dozens of huge flytraps around him, only thirteen or fourteen people were rescued in the end, and nearly half of the soldiers were still carried into the depths by the strange plants.

Mo Ran and Rogge naturally couldn't chase deeply, I don't know how many such plants there were, if they rushed in, they might all have to get in in the end.

The whole battle lasted for a minute or two, and there was already a mess around them. Fragments and vines of broken flytraps were everywhere. And those humanoid elves in the distance don't know when they have disappeared there.

Mo Ran and Rogge, who had recovered a little, did not take off their helmets, walked to the side of the warriors, and woke them up one by one. It wasn't until more than half an hour later that they recovered. Then they told each other about their previous experiences, most of them were on Earth, enjoying life, even if they felt wrong, but they just couldn't wake up.

Mo Ran listened silently on the side, Rogge dreamed of the earth like them, but Rogge broke free. And he himself saw those elves in his dreams, and those things that could not have appeared on earth.

Obviously, it is impossible for this plant to appear on the earth, so the effect of its hallucinogens is to make the prey dream of familiar scenes, so that the prey is in a quiet state, so that it is good to use those slender vines to capture the prey. As for the ending of the prey caught, Mo Ran didn't have to think about it to know. These flytrap-like plants recover so quickly that they require a lot of energy, and the source of this energy will only be those prey.

He couldn't imagine that if Rog hadn't woken him up, he would have ended up like those warriors who had been taken away. Looking at the surrounding scenes, Mo Ran suddenly became a little in a trance, why was he standing here for? He didn't have an answer, it seemed that it was the right time to go on, but now, he was really hungry, and their food reserves were worrying.
