The giant rhombic leaves are coiled around the trunk, and the blood-stained earth is empty.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Multiply...... Zizi ......

As night fell, different insect chirpings rang out in every corner of the forest, intertwining into a complex but not irritating tone. The sun had slipped to the horizon, and even partially sunk below, with only the red afterglow still lingering in the sky.

I don't know when the drizzle above this forest has quietly stopped, and it is fully proved with actions that what is called is hurried and hurried, but the violent wind that appeared with it did not disappear, but continued to whist in this area, and soon blew away the layer of rain clouds that shrouded the sky, revealing a silvery white frost and a bright starry sky, and sprinkled a faint light on the earth.

"It's around here......" Xinglan watched the faintly visible white pillar of smoke in the forest in front of her continue to rise, this distance was almost close, "It's not far ahead, less than a hundred meters away." ”

"Don't go too fast, go slower where you go." Yumo followed, she seemed to be very familiar with everything that appeared here, this forest was like her own home, "Well, you have to prepare in advance...... Don't rush to go deeper when you see the open space later. ”

Xinglan looked at her with a somewhat complicated expression, this time she could be sure that she was not mistaken at all, the shape of Yumo's pupils was really changing, from the first quarter moon just now to now, it had only taken a short time for the crescent shape of her silver pupils to reach two-thirds of the area, almost a circle with some notches.

The pupils of the moon praying people are really as cloudy and sunny as the moon, not just a simple crescent shape. At the same time, Xinglan can be sure that this change is not happening at a uniform speed, because when Xinglan first came into contact with them, it didn't change much for a while, but now it is changing shape at a very obvious speed...... There must be some kind of incentive at play.

Taking the last distance, neither Xinglan nor Yumo deliberately lowered their footsteps...... Absolute seclusion in the Dark Forest isn't always the best option, and if you deliberately make a lot of noise to announce your presence, many ferocious animals will be very careful to avoid your location, preferring to attack the weaker ones who are careful to hide themselves.

After rounding the last part of the trees, Yumo gently reached out and grabbed Xinglan, not letting her continue towards her goal.

This is a wide clearing, the radius is about twenty meters, so abruptly appeared in this dense forest, the bare soil in the clearing took on a somewhat strange dark red, occasionally growing some small weeds, but no other large trees could exist.

At this time, Xinglan finally saw for the first time what the mysterious plant really looked like, and it grew quietly in the middle of this clearing...... However, it has a shape that is difficult to describe, and it is impossible to even say whether it is a tree or a flower.

At the outermost end of the chassis is a wide circle of diamond-shaped blades, which, apart from their deep cyan color, unfold like lotus petals to create a very beautiful shape. These are not thin leaves like leaves, but large leaves that are tough and thick like aloe vera, and like a solid wall that protects the main body inside.

These leaves are not only thick, but also thorny, and from a distance, you can see those dense white thorns distributed on the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves, so that ordinary animals do not want to bump into them.

The blades, which are about half a meter high, form a ring with a diameter of about three meters, but instead of a stout straight trunk, the inside is a bare void. The real backbone is actually very thin and thin relative to the space it occupies.

When Xinglan saw it, the first impression that flashed through her mind was actually a spring...... Admittedly, the trunk of this plant does resemble a spring. In a space about three meters wide, the main trunk of wood, which is only four or five centimeters in diameter and thick, actually extends upwards in a spiral trajectory, instead of the straight line of ordinary trees, and from a distance it does look like a huge wooden spring.

The wooden spring was not particularly tall, at least it was inconspicuous compared to the tall trees around it, and the diameter of the spiral also shrank smaller and smaller as the height increased, and finally completely shrank to the center point at a height of about five meters above the ground, turning into a chassis with a diameter of thirty centimeters, holding a very bright red flower, and the wisps of white smoke visible to the naked eye continued to emerge from the center of the flower.

Even though the main trunk looks small compared to the surrounding trees, the red flowers are very large compared to the flowers of other plants, and this flower with a diameter of 30 centimeters can definitely be regarded as a giant among flowers, not to mention that it is obviously not an ordinary giant flower...... The pillar of white smoke coming out of the center of the stamen is not a simple thing to look at.

"The name of this strange plant is Kongluo......" Yumo whispered to Xinglan as she looked at the plant in front of her, "Most of the trauma can be healed by its sap, but if you want to get close to it...... You'll have to prepare this beforehand. ”

"This is ......" Xinglan took the thing handed by Yumo and looked at it with some surprise, "Isn't this the ...... before?"

It was something that resembled a green leaf, but when you looked closer, you realized that it was only a small part of the actual leaf, and that was exactly what Rain Foam and Cloud Foam had been sniffing under their noses in the previous herds to ward off the attractants released by the traps.

"That's right, it's the kind my sister and I used before." Yumo seemed to be accustomed to Xinglan asking everything, and explained very calmly, "Although once the empty radix flower grows, it will never wither unless it is destroyed by external forces, but now is not the active season of the empty dill after all, but even if it is dormant, there will still be a faint aura that will always spread nearby......"

She stopped talking suddenly, pointed to the ground with a hint of dark red in front of her, and continued in a somewhat heavy tone: "Only this leaf can bring the protection of the moon god and keep us awake in the chaos, otherwise you will end up as a part of it." ”

So, does Kongdill also release the kind of attractant that can make a large number of beasts crazy like the guide insects? And this leaf has a special neutralizing effect...... It's interesting.

"Those are blood." Xinglan looked at the dark red ground and said, not a question sentence but an affirmative sentence, "There are so many animals that have died here, and the coagulated blood has even stained the ground dark red. ”

"When the empty carrot flower really wakes up, the fragrance wafts for thousands of miles, even if there are such leaves, it can't be easily approached, and the scale of the beast herd fight is even better than the previous one by the lake." Yumo sighed lightly, the shape of her pupils was getting closer and closer to the full moon, she looked down at the tide knot, "It's better to stay here, after all, it can't hold the leaves all the way over, it will inevitably be affected by the environment." ”

Xinglan nodded, and Xijie had already jumped up to the trees next to her without commanding, and her unusually sensible performance surprised Yumo even more.

Even though she didn't actually need to, Xinglan took the leaf and held it under her nose, and then continued to walk towards Kongluo with Yumo, stepping on the dark red ground with an eerie aura.

The lure of large groups of animals to fight here is not purely for self-defense, and Xinglan has every reason to believe that these seeping into the soil and even dyeing the ground into dark red blood eventually become the nutrients that nourish the growth of the empty dill. That bright red empty radix flower is simply absorbing a lot of blood and growing......

As beautiful as it is, it's a deadly trap.

"It's okay, don't be so nervous." Seeing Xing Lan looking around vigilantly, Yumo couldn't help but laugh, "The biggest threat to Kong Luo is just this dangerous aura, with the protection of the blades, it is no longer a threat, after all, it is impossible for it to rush up and attack......"

"En......" Xinglan relaxed a little at this time, to be honest, she really thought about how to deal with Kong Luo suddenly waving her main trunk and rushing up in close combat...... Judging from the cheating nature of life on Lanxing, this kind of thing is not impossible, "Are we going to pick the flower in the center?" ”

"No, just the outer blades." Yumo shook his head decisively and pointed to the circle of diamond-shaped leaves on the ground, "You only need to cut off some of the leaves, it's too dangerous to collect the flowers in the center, if the hollow dill goes crazy, even this kind of leaf may not be able to be completely cleaned up." ”

"Well, that's fine......" Xinglan took out her dagger and walked over to the half-meter-tall diamond-shaped blade, placing the blade under her nose with one hand and carefully cutting it with the other......

Multiply!

At the moment when the dagger pierced into the leaves, with a strange sound like air leakage, the column of smoke coming out of the central flower of the hollow rose sharply about three times, and the content of attractin in the surrounding environment also increased rapidly, and the rain foam no longer simply put the leaves under the nose, but directly rolled into two small rolls and stuffed into the nose. Despite its strange appearance, it does effectively neutralize the growing attractants in the inhaled air.

"It doesn't look like there's a problem...... Xinglan saw that the situation was fine, so she simply let go of that kind of blade for the time being, grabbed one end of the diamond-shaped leaf with one hand, and held a dagger in the other hand to the end, and cut it in half!

"Run!" Yumo's face changed, she grabbed Xinglan's hand suddenly, pulled her and ran towards the forest quickly, even when she passed by the edge of the place, she didn't stop at all, and the tide knot on the tree didn't hesitate at all, and hurriedly followed when she saw that the situation was not good...... Xinglan didn't even forget to pick up the fruit bag that had just been thrown on the ground.

A thick fog-like smoke spread wildly around Kongluo at once, and they ran away almost only a few meters outside the fog, until they escaped for about a kilometer, and the fog behind them finally dissipated......

"I mean......" Yumo gasped for breath and ran a kilometer at a sprint speed, even she felt a little overwhelmed, and her face was palpitating, "Taking a petal will make Kongluo crazy, but cutting a small piece of leaf is no big deal...... But I never let you cut off half of such a large blade! ”

"That's it......" Xinglan looked at the thick blades with more than twenty centimeters in her hands, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "It seems that this time it seems to be cut a little too big......

(Well, there may be a break in the next few weeks, after all, there will be a lot of final exams, there will be a lot of homework, and Feng Yu doesn't want to fail the course...... ）
