Ah Long desperately pulled the trigger, and a crisp gunshot broke the temporary silence, this gunshot startled a string of flying birds, woke up Ah Hu, who had fallen into confusion, and also alarmed the team behind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After hearing the gunshot, everyone was afraid that something would happen, so the deputy captain He Wei hurried to the scene with everyone, only to see Ah Long and Ah Hu's faces were a little purple, and they were leaning against a tree and panting together.

Then everyone also saw the flower, and like the two guards just now, their faces also showed strange expressions.

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Fluttershy knew that it was not good, so she took out a piccolo and played it. The melodious flute sounded, and everyone gradually came back to their senses.

To prevent them from being disturbed again, Fluttershy pulls out a small bottle with small black pills inside. Fluttershy asks Elder Ray and Long Zhan to distribute the pills to the crowd, and after taking the pills, everyone gradually figures out the truth.

It turned out that what caught everyone's eyes was a huge "devil's flower"

Long Zhan took out his mask and gloves from his backpack, otherwise he wouldn't dare to approach this domineering plant. You know, he had a vision just now, because he saw ...... Belle, Belle woke up, she was begging him for help.

Long Zhan walked up to the giant flower, although he was wearing a mask, he could still smell a very strong smell mixed with incense, he looked down the huge flower column, and sure enough, he saw the expected people - photographers, Xiao Le and Xiao Yue.

They were lying among the stamens, no longer breathing. But they still had smiles on their faces, as if they were not dying, but had entered heaven.

A chill swells up in Long Zhan's heart, fortunately Fluttershy had just made a move, otherwise, maybe he would have become the devil's prey now.

Long Zhan shook his head and said, "They are dead, I can't imagine that this thing can actually eat people." ”

Ling Shan said: "This is corpse incense konjac!" This plant originally only grows in Sumatra, Indonesia, and Titan Konjac was discovered by botanists in 1878. At that time, he sent some seeds to Kew Gardens. In 1889, the Titan konjac first bloomed at Kew Gardens.

The growth rate of Titan konjac is amazing, but it blooms once in more than ten years on average, and the flowering period is only two or three days. When the plant is ready for pollination, the stems begin to heat up and the petals gradually open, emitting a pungent odor that can float up to eight or nine hundred meters away, attracting carrion-loving beetles and flies to pollinate. ”

He Wei said: "I don't understand professional things. But I've heard a legend about this flower. The legendary 'corpse incense konjac' is a kind of strange flowers and plants that grow on the dead corpses in coffins made of Kunlun sacred wood, its color is charming, the fragrance is peculiar, it can confuse people's minds, make people hallucinate. Traps made of illusions are created one after another to lure people to death, and legend has it that the corpse incense konjac flower is the evil spirit that guards King Solomon's treasure. ”

Ling Shan said: "But this is just a legend, ordinary konjac flowers are just to lure insects, and there is no official record of this flower eating people." But if anything, the flower seems to be at least five or six times larger than the konjac that has been discovered. ”

The fat man frowned and said, "The konjac flowers you mentioned emit a stench, which is why they attract those insects." However, when we first arrived, we smelled a scent! Could it be that this flower can adjust its scent to different targets? ”

Ling Shan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, in the plant kingdom, although some species are similar, they have completely different qualities, and I am only talking about similar species that we have already released. Strictly speaking, this flower may be a new variety that fills a gap. ”

The fat man said: "The fewer new varieties that eat people like this, the better." ”

Long Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Fluttershy, do you know that there is such a flower in your clan?" ”

Fluttershy shakes her head and says, "No, it's not that you know it, but I've never seen a flower like this." ”

He Wei said: "But I see that the girl just used the flute to break the ghost smell and gave us the antidote, if you haven't seen it, how would you know to use this method to crack it." ”

Fluttershy says, "I haven't seen this flower, but there are still some plants in the mountain that are easy to make people dizzy, and this flute and pill are for guarding against these things. ”

Long Zhan said, "I have a question, everyone was tricked just now, but Miss Fluttershy and Elder Lei didn't, is it only attacking foreigners?" ”

Elder Lei said: "What you said is not entirely true, whether you believe it or not, I was also tricked just now." ”
