Chapter 17: The Purple Demon

This shrub is really not big, it can even be said to be very small. When it is full, it covers an area of nearly a mile. But just such a little distance, Wang Li and the three of them walked very slowly.

Along the way, the expected danger has not yet arrived. A forest in Youda was quiet, and there was not even a single bird.

For some reason, Liu Hong's eyes kept glancing around the ground. Wang Li was full of curiosity about this, and opened his mouth several times to inquire, but was stopped by the maid shaking her head. Suddenly, Liu Hong's footsteps paused slightly, staring at the two adjacent shrubs not far away.

"What's wrong?" Wang Li also looked at the two small trees. However, when I looked at it, I only saw two ordinary shrubs that could be seen everywhere, and I didn't find anything peculiar.

"Red Lotus, dig up here, be careful." Liu Hong didn't answer, pointed to the land between the two small trees, and solemnly commanded.

"Good!" The maid pulled out the short knife she carried with her, crouched down in the ground and began to dig. Her movements were crisp and clean, as if she had been measured with a ruler. It is said that it is five centimeters of digging, and there is definitely not one millimeter more.

"I'm here to help, too." Although Wang Li was inexplicable, he believed that Liu Hong's action must be reasonable, and immediately pulled out the mountain. knives, you have to help the handle.

"No need." Liu Hong stretched out his hand to grab Wang Li, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that if you alarm that thing underground, it won't be good." ”

"What's that?" Wang Li's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but look at this mysterious young master with doubts in his eyes.

"Wait, I'm not sure." Liu Hong looked around at the bushes, and even plucked a purple diamond-shaped leaf and crushed it with his fingers. The strange thing is that the leaves are beautiful purple, but the juice flowing from them is as red as blood.

"No, it's real blood!" As a vampire who is extremely sensitive to blood, Wang immediately sensed the abnormality. The sap from the leaves not only looked like blood, but also revealed an unconcealed smell of blood.

Liu Hong brought the leaves to her mouth, carefully stretched out her tongue and licked it, nodded and said, "That's right, this juice contains the ingredients of animal blood." ”

Wang Li's heart was cold, and he always felt that the magnificent trees around him had become eerie and terrifying.

The contagiousness of this virus is simply terrifying. After the end of the world, not only human beings will not be able to escape the catastrophe, but also animals and insects...... Even some plants have been infected.

But no matter how magical the light elf is, it is too evil to make animal blood flow in the body of a plant!

"Young master, it's dug up." At this moment, the maid Honglian finished her homework and stood with her sword.

Wang Li and Liu Hongqi turned their heads with a brush, only to see a dark purple root, connecting the two shrubs together. Faintly, Wang Li could see through the translucent roots that there was a blood-like liquid flowing back and forth between the two trees.

"Do you mean ......?"

Wang Li's color changed, and he looked at the countless shrubs around him in horror, and a ridiculous thought came to his heart. But the speculation was too bizarre for him to believe.

"You guessed right." Liu Hong's face was solemn, and she killed Wang Li's luck. "It's not a forest, it's just a tree! These purple shrubs actually share a common rhizome system! ”

With a slight suffocation in his breath, Wang Li looked at these magnificent and harmless trees again, as if he saw a huge man-eating monster. And he himself is like an ignorant lamb in the mouth of a monster.

"Young Master Liu." Wang Li smiled bitterly, looked at the delicate young master next to him and said, "It's so dangerous here, do you still want to break in?" I think it's better for us to go and find the monsters outside desperately. ”

"Break! Why not? Liu Hong's eyes lit up, looking at the center of the forest, and there was a trace of excitement at the corner of his mouth that could not be concealed. If you don't take it, you will be to blame! ”

Wang Li was slightly stunned and asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?" ”

"Brother Wang, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep our promise at the beginning. The treasure in this forest, we each rely on our ability, and whoever grabs it will belong to whomever it is. Liu Hong smiled slightly, and strode towards the forest.

After a slight hesitation, Wang Li gritted his teeth and followed. This Liu Hong's identity must be extraordinary, and even the baby who is hot in his eyes is obviously not ordinary. The so-called wealth and danger are sought, and Wang Li also fights.

"Okay, there's a kind!" Liu Hong patted Wang Li's shoulder with some admiration and praised: "This is like an adventurer!" ”

"If it's useless, don't talk about it." Wang Li glanced at Liu Hong and asked, "If you really have a heart, take this weird forest ...... No, tell me a little bit about this ghost tree. lest the time comes, and my death will not be in vain. ”

"Yes, after all, I pulled you in. If you do die here, I'm a little sorry not to go. Liu Hong began to explain to Wang Li as she walked.

After the end of the world, among the plants infected by the virus, an extremely evil variety appeared. They have well-developed root systems, and the part that emerges from the surface looks like a small bush. This plant also inherits the fine tradition of the blood-sucking species, feeding on the blood of animals.

Among the many mutated monsters, this plant named Purple Shrub is also at the top. But as soon as it is discovered, people will go inside like crazy, regardless of their safety. The reason for this is because of the fruit of this plant.

The plant produces only three fruits in its lifetime, each of which, when ripe, is a beehive-like object. It will give birth to a monster called a vampire bird. And in each fruit, thousands can be bred. If you master such a bird's nest and release it when you face the enemy, the sight is really numb to the heart.

After talking for a long time, Liu Hong swallowed his saliva and looked at Wang Li eagerly: "Brother Wang, don't you know, as long as this plant absorbs a strong enough blood, it will evolve rapidly. Do you know what that means when there is such a plant on the third floor of the dungeon? ”

Wang Li also swallowed his saliva with difficulty, panting with red eyes. Due to environmental problems, the third floor of the dungeon generally produces baron-level creatures at most. In other words, this Purple Shrub simply had no way to absorb too strong blood. That said, it can't be strong enough!

Opportunity, this is definitely a great opportunity!

The Purple Demons on the ground devoured many powerful creatures, and even the Duke and Prince were discouraged. But the strain in front of them, because it was born in the wrong place, is weak compared to other similar species!

"What does it smell like?" While chatting, Wang Li suddenly moved his nose and faintly smelled a wonderful fragrance. For a moment, he felt that every cell in his body was stirring, as if he was longing for something deep in the forest.

"Be careful, try to hold your breath as much as possible. This is the aroma that the purple shrub uses to trap its prey, and it has hallucinogenic and paralyzing effects. ”

Liu Hong hurriedly explained, and ran towards the forest as if flying. Wang Li always felt that this guy was suddenly enthusiastic, and his heart moved, and he followed suit.

But as they got closer and closer to the core, the three of them couldn't help but slow down again and creep forward cautiously. Because there are countless corpses of all kinds under their feet, all of them are telling of the danger here.

Finally, the trio arrived at the long-awaited core of the jungle. Suddenly, Wang Li and Liu Hong's eyes widened. The expression was quite amusing, eager and at the same time a little cringe.
