Chapter 142: A Fierce Battle
The man grabbed me and led me away quickly.
I couldn't make out what he looked like, but it felt unusually familiar.
When we got out of the miasma, he took me to a big tree where two people were hugging, and I realized that this person was none other than Chu Qing.
In addition to Chu Qing behind the tree, there are also a group of people from the Xizi League. They all covered their mouths and noses with damp cloths, and the poisoning was very mild.
After checking it for them, I gave the few remaining pills that were more serious than the poison dissolving pills.
I promised that Qi Guanrong was looking for an antidote, originally I wanted to find the treasure as soon as possible, in fact, if I couldn't find the antidote, I wouldn't feel guilty, and now that the people of the Xizi League are also poisoned, I have to find the antidote to save them.
I had a headache and asked Chu Qing, "What are those things just now?" ”
Chu Qing replied: "I don't know what it is, but it can eat people, just now some of us were dragged by that thing, and in the end, only a white bone was left, and there was no flesh and blood." ”
Can eat people......
Maybe it's not the "cannibalism" we think it is......
I thought of a book I had read in my mother's book that there was a man-eating plant that secreted venom that digested flesh and blood, melting human flesh and blood into its own nourishment.
I don't believe in any animal that can gnaw a whole person clean, leaving only a pile of bones.
I made a decision in my heart and said to Chu Qing: "Who of you has the strongest martial arts here?" I need someone to take me to that place. I think there should be something for us. ”
Chu Qing said: "I'll go with you." ”
I glanced at the few people I knew here, there was Murong Ningmu, and Murong Ningshuang was looking at me with a gloomy face. I thought about the cause of her sister's death, and I suddenly felt that her eyes were full of malice.
The martial arts in this are strong, it is estimated that they are Murong Ningshuang and Chu Qing, and I am not familiar with the others. If Murong Ningshuang takes me there, I guess I'll die a miserable death.
So I said to Chu Qing: "You accompany me to take a look, if you encounter danger, take me back immediately, don't fight with that thing!" ”
Chu Qing agreed, found the right direction, and took me to jump up with light skills.
After a while, I saw the fog sloshing in front of me, causing him to stop quickly.
I chose a direction and walked over quietly, Chu Qing followed closely behind me.
I clenched my little dagger in case I needed it.
The fog was too thick to see what lay ahead, so I picked up a stick from the ground and held it in my hand to find my way.
It wasn't long before I realized that something was wrapped around the stick and was snatching it from me.
I let go of the stick and poked my head forward, only to see that it was a snake-like thing, tightly wrapped around the stick.
The top of the thing wasn't a snake's head, but a pigcage-like head.
Nepenthes comes to mind.
Nepenthes secretes venom to eat insects, and this thing is much larger than Nepenthes, and it is not impossible to open the head and stuff people into it. It will move, and its strength will be great, and it will not be easy to get along.
It wasn't until I took a closer look at what was entangled in the giant pitcher plant that I panicked that the stick I had just gotten was not a stick at all, but a human thigh bone.
If it weren't for the fishy smell on my thigh bones, it would have been me.
The large pitcher plant is struggling with the thigh bone, and I don't have time to be a bystander for the time being.
I cautiously retreated, grabbed Chu Qing and walked back, thinking about how to deal with the large pitcher plant.
Against a plant, it will die only if its rhizome is cut off. So Chu Qing and I, there must be someone who goes into the large pitcher plant gathering place and cuts off the rhizome.
Chu Qing didn't see the situation in front of him just now, and he was still confused
I said to Chu Qing: "You wait for me here, and I can deal with it alone." If I don't call you, don't come. ”
Chu Qing said: "Miss Xi'er, I can't let you go alone, otherwise the master will blame me." ”
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I can definitely handle it alone, and if you pass, you will hinder me." ”
He wanted to say something more, but I stopped him and continued: "My physique is different from ordinary people, only I can do the things in front, and what you can't do, if you go, it will also add to the chaos, and it will only slow down my progress." ”
I ignored him anymore and walked straight forward, Chu Qing was probably worried about my safety, and he didn't dare to come rashly.
I found another human leg bone in the same place, held it in my hand, and used it as bait.
I had been walking for about half a cup of tea when the giant pitcher plant finally took the bait and wrapped itself around the bone.
This time I didn't lose the bones again, but with fear, I dragged the pitcher plant in front of my eyes, and while it was not looking, I cut off its head of the pitcher, and as soon as I grasped her stem, I found that the stem was shaking, and the fog around me was shaking, and it was shaking more and more.
I thought to myself, could it be that this large pitcher plant has other heads?
I felt that the situation was not good, but I was reluctant to let go of this stem, and I had to follow this stem to find the roots of the large pitcher plant.
I quickened my pace and ran quickly along the stem, and the speed of the wind and fire was almost comparable to light work.
However, I never expected that I would fall again and trip over something under my feet, and I would not dare to look at what it was, so I could only run forward regardless of it, and I had to cut off all the rhizomes of those large pitcher plants before they caught up with me, or I would be buried here!
It's just that along the way, as if God was joking with me, the ground was uneven, and I stepped forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the speed was much slower.
When I fell again, I realized that it was human bones that tripped me up. In this area, bones are next to bones, and depending on the number, there are dozens or hundreds of people.
It's like a huge burial pit, and I suspect it's possible that these are the bodies of the workers who built the treasure burial ground.
I couldn't help them bury them, so I had to keep holding on to the stem.
Probably God opened my eyes again, and when I fell again, I hit my head on a soft tree.
Why is it called a "soft tree"? Because it is not like a tree but like a grass, but it is tall and large, and its stems are very soft.
This should be the main stem of the large pitcher plant.
I wanted to cut off its roots, but its root system is so large that I might as well cut off its main stem!
However, my dagger was too small, and I only pierced it with a single slash.
I didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly increased my strength, and cut the main stem open, and a thick liquid came out of it, and the smell was extremely fishy.
After the main stem cracked, I kicked it directly, and after my hamstrings and tendons broke, this force was the most I have ever used.
In the quiet air, I heard a roar, not like an animal, but the sound of this ghost.
I saw the air vibrate violently in all directions, and a huge pitcher plant head appeared in front of my face, and I didn't dare to bother it, and continued to kick the main stem hard.
Just when I thought that the pitcher plant was going to eat me, the main stem broke with a "bang", and the huge branch collapsed, and the large pitcher plant that stopped in front of my face fell down as if it had lost its life in an instant.
Before it fell, it even breathed at me, and when I smelled the gas, it was the smell of poisonous miasma.
It turned out that this miasma was sprayed by a large pitcher plant......
If that's the case, then we can wait for the fog to clear and move on without risking our lives.
When the large pitcher plant was completely gone, I got tired and lay down and sat down on the ground to rest.
Probably there was too much movement on my side, Chu Qing came from behind me, saw me fall to the ground, and hurriedly knelt in front of me and asked, "Miss Xi'er, how are you?" But where is the injury? ”
I shook my head and said, "It's okay, you go and see if there's anything alive around this thing, and if so, it should be able to detoxify." ”
Only then did Chu Qing follow my gaze and see clearly what it was that was fighting against me for a cup of tea.
Chu Qing was surprised: "How can there be such a plant on this island!" ”
I said, "I guess it's because of the closed environment that this plant is produced." Don't make a fuss, find the antidote, they can't wait. ”
Chu Qing found a green grass next to the main stem, I threw a small grass into the liquid of the pitcher plant, and then took it out, and found that it did not look dead at all, and it was still vibrant.
I said, "This is the antidote, pick a few more plants, and we'll go back quickly after picking." ”
I stood up, my legs limped, and I fell back down.
Chu Qing's eyes were quick, hugged me and said, "I'll take you back." ”
He picked me up, I exclaimed and put my arms around his neck, I relaxed, leaned into his arms, and fell asleep tired.
When I woke up again, I was the only one left, lying on the edge of the miasma, with a few herbs at hand.
I thought that the people of the Xizi League should have gone out safely, so I took the herbs and took out the poisonous miasma, and walked towards Qi Guanrongzheng and them.
After a thrilling battle, I was in a state of disarray, and I looked terrible because of many falls, and bones stuck in my clothes.
Chu Hanyu hurriedly ran over to me, he saw my appearance, and immediately lowered his voice and asked me, "Didn't you run into them?" Did you solve it yourself? ”
I said, "I met them, Chu Qing helped me." You can rest assured that they are safe now. ”
He said, "I'm worried about you, I'm afraid they won't recognize the master." ”
I know what he said, Murong Ningshuang should have said bad things about me in the Xizi League, otherwise, when I met those people in the Xizi League, they wouldn't look at me with that kind of eyes.
We wanted to say something more, but Qi Guanrongzheng came over and asked me if I had found an antidote.
I grabbed a bone from my hair, threw it at his feet, took a few herbs from my pocket, and said, "Just find these and make do with them." ”
Qi Guanrong was frowning and asked me, "Why are there so few?" There are so many of us here, how can these plants be used? ”
