Chapter 14: Strange Plants

The light of the setting sun shines obliquely on the ground through the mottled gaps in the trees, casting dim spots. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the shade of the trees, the magical berries sway in the breeze, intensifying the aroma that resembles wine. In the silence, this scene looks beautiful and intoxicating.

However, in the Ironforge Forest, the more beautiful the scene, the more deadly murder is often hidden behind it!

When Fang Jin rushed over almost uncontrollably, trying to pick the berries, under the ground where dead branches and leaves were piled up, the terrifying vampire vines had already passed the slight vibration of the ground and felt the prey take the bait. It lurks with great ambition, waiting for a chance to break through the ground.

It's getting closer!

Seeing that he was only six or seven meters away from the berries, Fang Jin's suppressed instinct finally felt a hint of something strange.

If it had been the morning when he had just entered the Ironforge Forest, this strange appearance would not have allowed him to break free from the temptation. But thanks to the previous fatal crisis, he was almost killed by four kobolds. After that, Fang Jin, who was palpitating, raised his vigilance.

This vigilance saved his life.

One step before he almost entered the killing distance, he stopped his steps and looked around with some surprise.

It's quiet, it's so quiet!

In other parts of the Ironforge Forest, even if there are no monsters, there will be some insects or creatures such as hares and poisonous snakes, which will have more or less sounds. But around this strange plant, except for the sound of the wind and his footsteps, not even the slightest sound could be heard.

Something is wrong!

With this vigilance, he tried to take out his bow and shoot an arrow into the bushes not far away, but there was no response.

After a moment of surprise, Fang Jin thought about it, took a few steps back, and took the initiative to start the Star Hidden Step.

The first few steps in the stealth state did not cause any problems. Just as he crossed his previous position and took another step forward, the moment his toes touched the ground, the ground under his feet shook slightly. Several blood-colored rattans, covered with thorny barbs, burst out of the ground with unimaginable agility and slammed into his feet!

Once pumped down, the subsequent rattan will immediately follow, rolling the prey upside down and bleeding to eat.

Even the strongest prey will quickly lose its resistance as the amount of blood runs out and turn into a dried corpse!

After moving here a day ago and accidentally discovering that the fruit of this strange plant was about to ripen, the vampire vine used this method to lure more than a dozen demonic beasts into the trap one after another, becoming its delicious food. Eventually, the hapless monster's blood was drained, and the dried corpses were thrown into the plant's root system, becoming its fattest nourishment, which in turn accelerated the ripening of the three fruits.

This time, it should be no exception.

Although the vampire vine is a plant, it has evolved a certain "intelligence" and is confident in its traps!

In a way, it did!

Fang Jin's attention was more focused on the surroundings, he really didn't expect the attack to come from underground, and Xingyin Bu couldn't help him avoid the attack. But his vigilance still played a crucial role. The moment he was pulled to his legs by rattan and his body lost its center of gravity and fell, his scalp was numb and he realized the danger. Without waiting for the other two rattans to tie him up, Fang Jin activated the positioning backtracking of the Star Hidden Step for the second time, returning to the position five seconds ago!

Vampire vine's nidal attack missed!

Reappearing in a safe place, looking at the blood-colored rattan waving in the distance, which had not yet figured out what was happening, and then at his legs, which had been pierced by thorny barbs, his heart once again welled up with strong fear and happiness.

Second!

This is the second time he's almost died since he entered Ironforge this morning!

The previous time, even if he handled it properly, plus a few kobolds were a little careless, he escaped. And this time, there was really some element of luck. If he hadn't happened to notice something strange and opened the Star Retreat in advance, he would have been afraid that he would have returned to the camp for free and waited for rebirth.

This skill that can be exchanged for 5 survival points is really worth it.

………

After a moment of futile wielding, several of the vampire vines burrowed back into the ground and lurked. The vicinity of the kiwi fruit immediately returned to its previous peace, as if nothing had happened.

Witnessing all the changes, Fang Jin couldn't help but curse secretly.

This forest is really full of murderous machines, and there is no carelessness in the slightest!

Knowing that he was powerful, he planned to leave just like that. I didn't plan to look for any other targets, so I went straight back to the camp to get some rest. But just after turning around and taking a few steps, Fang Jin stopped a little unwillingly.

His eyes fell on the three red fruits.

There must be something special about them that makes their bodies have such a strong desire to smell the aroma of the fruit. Even ignoring the omen of danger and subconsciously rushing over!

When he encounters such a precious thing, but he doesn't take it, it's not his style.

What's more, there's the damn vampire vine!

Because he didn't know the details of it, coupled with the advantage of being able to lurk underground, Fang Jin didn't dare to seek revenge on it - most of them didn't have that ability. But what if you could take away the three fruits in front of it?

The two motives added together, making Fang Jin stop and frown and think.

A moment later, he had an idea!

After marking this location on the system's map, Fang Jin turned around and left, quickly searching the surroundings.

He needs to find a prey and then use the corpse to lure the vines of the vampire vine to attack. Then take advantage of the interval between its shots and rush in to snatch the fruit!

However, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and it became darker and darker.

Fang Jin's figure was anxiously shuttling through the forest, but he never found a suitable target. He could clearly feel that the temperature in the Ironforge Forest was decreasing. In the dimness, an obscure gray mist rises, and some monsters that only act at night are already ready to move. The forest is full of danger.

Damn, get out of here!

Fang Jin shouted in his heart.

Five minutes! Find five more minutes!

If he can't find a prey that is large enough by then, he will have to give up for the time being and come back tomorrow. But that strange plant was clearly in a state of full maturity just now. God knows if there will be any impact if you don't pick for a long time. Moreover, the night is too long to create any variables. Maybe a powerful demonic beast happened to pass by, ignoring the vampire vine and devouring the three fruits directly?

Even, there are other senior candidates who are ahead of the curve to take away this opportunity?

As long as there is still a little chance to fight, Fang Jin doesn't want to miss it, so as not to have too many dreams at night!

Finally, his footsteps stopped abruptly, and a maned beast appeared not far ahead. It was a monster that looked a bit like a boar, but was much smaller, and the challenge level was only white compared to him.

Either way, it meets his requirements!
