207.Chapter 207: The Stomach of a Plant
Disposing of prey on the spot after hunting is a necessary skill for every hunter, so Ding Chen saw that Uncle Potato's injury was not too serious, so he didn't waste time caring about him, and directly handed the torch to Uncle Potato to hold, and quickly disemboweled the three beasts with his saber and bled them, took out the internal organs and threw them away.

If conditions permit, usually animal blood is also a good thing, which can supplement trace elements, but now it is almost dark, and Uncle Potato is injured and has difficulty moving, so Ding Chen simply only needs the skin and meat, and throws away all the others, so that he can return to the roof of the building quickly.
As soon as he messed with it, the smell of blood in the corridor was even stronger, mixed with the stench of internal organs. Even Uncle Potato couldn't stand it a little, and stood aside holding a torch that was about to burn out and said, "It's cheap to buy rats here." ”
If you don't count all kinds of insects, the most abundant in the ruins should be mice. However, there are many kinds of animals in the ruins, and there are no natural predators like in cities with human life, so rats rarely swagger around.
Ding Chen finished cleaning up the three beast corpses, looked around, got up and cut a section of vines with a black knife, tied the three beast corpses together, and said to Uncle Potato: "Let's go, Qiqi should be worried." ”
Because Uncle Potato's leg was injured, Ding Chen didn't plan to return the way he came, and it was obvious that Uncle Potato couldn't climb to the second floor without stairs.
"Get out of the hallway window." Uncle Potato said, "The windows of the house I just entered were blocked by vines, and there should be fewer vines in the windows of the corridor." ”
Ding Chen let out an "um", picked up his prey and strode towards the end of the corridor. The building is already surrounded by plants, so it's no surprise that the windows are covered with vines. Uncle Potato lost his saber when he was attacked by a wild beast, and he couldn't cut through the vines, so he had to be trapped in the building, but Ding Chen had a black knife in his hand, so of course he wouldn't fall into Uncle Potato's embarrassment.
He quickly came to the end of the corridor, looked at the vines in front of him by the light of the fire coming from behind him, frowned, and said, "This is not a lot. ”
"Strange." Uncle Potato said, "I remember there weren't so many just now. ”
Ding Chen smiled, threw the prey to the ground, raised the black knife and gestured, and said, "You are too old." ”
"Wait a minute." Uncle Potato said, holding the torch to his side and asking, "When you first came in, did you have so many rattans?" ”
Ding Chen was stunned, when entering an unfamiliar environment, everyone would take a closer look at it first, so as to have a general impression of the environment, but unless necessary, once they start to act, most people will no longer spend their energy on observing the environment, because usually, the default environment will not change, you can't stand on the edge of the mountain one second, and the mountain will become a lake in the next second.
So when Ding Chen just went down to the first floor, of course, he had carefully observed the environment here, but after fighting with the beast, he didn't pay attention to it again. At this time, when he heard Uncle Potato's reminder, he was stunned to find that there were a lot more vines in the corridor on the first floor than when he first came in, and even covered most of the ground.
His heart moved, and he exclaimed, "Can these vines move? ”
"It's carnivorous vine." Uncle Potato is also a veteran scavenger, and his physical strength may decline as he gets older, but his knowledge does not decrease, "They are attracted by the smell of blood." ”
"Great." Ding Chen said: "We actually got into a large pitcher plant predation tank. ”
"I think it's a little bit better than that." Uncle Potato said, "At least it didn't secrete digestive juices. ”
"I don't like the joke." Ding Chen said. As he spoke, he swung his black knife and slashed down.
Normally, there is no way for plants to move compared to animals, and of course it is impossible to compete with humans with tools in their hands, which is why the two of them still have the leisure to tell jokes.
Ding Chen quickly cut off a large pile of rattans, and the broken rattans were piled up on the ground, looking like the corpses of tentacle monsters.
Ding Chen swung the knife very much, so Uncle Potato didn't dare to stand beside him, at this time, holding his shark knife in one hand and a torch in the other, standing behind him to cheer him, but soon, Ding Chen heard Uncle Potato scream in pain, and then shouted: "Be careful of these juices." ”
Ding Chen was suddenly startled, when he took a knife to cut the vines, he had already found that the water content in these vines was very large, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and then he heard Uncle Potato's reminder and immediately realized that there was a big problem with these waters.
When he held the knife and slashed, of course, it was impossible not to completely avoid the juice splashing from the rattan, in fact, at this time, a lot of his hands and faces had fallen, but he didn't feel anything abnormal. Now when he heard Uncle Potato's words, he hurriedly retreated, turned around and asked, "What's wrong." ”
Uncle Potato is handing the torch to his right hand, and with his left hand he is holding his own kettle and pouring water on his right hand to rinse. Hearing Ding Chen's words, he grinned and said, "This juice is poisonous. ”
For this kind of thing, Ding Chen can only believe it, and hurriedly threw the black knife and wiped his hands and face with a towel dipped in water, and after wiping it a few times, he suddenly woke up and looked up at Uncle Potato, "You have a wound on your hand, right?" ”
"Nonsense." Uncle Potato shook his hand and said, "What do you think? ”
"It's not poison." Ding Chen said. However, he still covered his face with a towel, only his eyes were exposed, and he found a pair of gloves to put on, and then said, "These are digestive juices, didn't you still miss them just now?" ”
Since these vines eat meat, they certainly can't bite and digest the animal like an animal – it has neither teeth nor a stomach. So, of course, you can only soak the prey with digestive juices. The liquid in these rattans is supposed to be used for this. This also explains why the liquid reacted strongly after entering Uncle Potato's wound, but it had no effect when it fell on Ding Chen's body. The human skin can resist a certain strength of weak acid, and Ding Chen is sweating after strenuous exercise, so the concentration of acid falling on the skin is further diluted, and the irritation to the skin is not stronger than sweat.
Uncle Potato also immediately came to his senses, and scolded hatefully: "This guy actually wants to digest us? ”
"Strictly speaking, we walked into its stomach on our own initiative." Ding Chen said: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go out quickly." ”
Now that he knew the secrets of these vines, Ding Chen also changed the strategy of swinging the knife just now, and changed to using a black knife to cut the roots of the vines as much as possible, so that although it was a little slower, it could reduce the liquid outflow from the rattans, so as not to inadvertently stick to these things.
After tossing for a while, Ding Chen finally cut off all the vines that reached into the window and began to prepare to drill the window.
He stood under the windowsill, first tried to skid the plastic steel window above it with a black knife, and felt a little shaky, so he simply jumped on the windowsill and stretched out his foot to kick it.
A few feet down, the plastic steel window shook for a moment, and the lower part came out of the wall. Ding Chen was overjoyed, and suddenly found that the walls on both sides found Gege's voice, and a large piece of cement was squeezed out of the wall.
Ding Chen was taken aback, flew up and kicked the window half embedded in the wall, turned around and shouted, "Come here, the building is about to collapse." ”
Uncle Potato also noticed that something was wrong, let go and threw the torch, bent down to grab the beast corpse that Ding Chen threw on the ground, and limped towards the window. Ding Chen didn't care about the splashing plant juice, waved his knife to cut a gap in the rattan outside the window, and then directly threw the black knife out, turned around and grabbed Uncle Potato's hand, and with both hands, he directly lifted his fat body, and then jumped out with him in his arms.
There was a loud bang behind him, and the three-story building, which had collapsed in half, finally collapsed entirely.
