Chapter 33: The Man-Eating Flower

When they were shouted by me, they seemed to have suddenly woken up, and quickly covered their mouths and noses. Shocked, he immediately withdrew his body and stepped back. One step closer to encountering the delicate, fragrant and charming flowers in front of you.

"Shi Hui!" Duoduo hurriedly yelled behind me and shone a flashlight.

I looked behind me, and saw the old ghost walking towards the giant flower in front of me like hysterical as if he had been hypnotized.

"Old ghost!" I screamed too. But the old ghost went on as if he had not heard my shouts.

The huge flower suddenly dropped the corolla, which was bigger than a banana leaf. Facing the old ghost, it opened all at once! The incomparably fragrant smell is even more refreshing.

It was then that I saw the true face of the giant flower: the huge corolla was more than two meters long, and it was in the shape of two pages opening and closing. At the edges of the petals, there are tentacles-like things, thicker than a human finger. In the middle of the open stamens, it is delicate and bright red like blood. At this time, it was open to the old ghost, and it was like a big mouth. Seeing that the old ghost was already close at hand, he opened his "big mouth" and wanted the old ghost to stretch out.

I saw that the old ghost was about to enter the "mouth" of the giant flower, so I hurriedly rushed forward with an arrow step. He knocked the old ghost to the ground, and we both fell to the ground at the same time.

"Smack!" , I hurriedly gave him a big mouth on the old ghost's face.

The old ghost seemed to wake up in shock, came back to his senses, and asked loudly, "Damn, what's wrong?" What happened? ”

"You're so dainted!" I say.

The "big mouth" of the giant flower, which had already opened, fluttered into the air. Lifting the flower crown, he hissed loudly at us. The voice was extremely ugly and harsh, and the old ghost and I hurriedly stepped back.

"Lisa be careful!"

Before we could come to our senses, Duoduo screamed again.

It turned out that it was another giant flower that stretched out to Wu Lisha. Duoduo's eyes are quick, and he slashes towards the flower stem that sticks out. Where could that giant flower dodge too many attacks, and with a "snap", the corolla and flower stem were broken. The huge and full corolla fell to the ground with a "plop".

When we saw this, we quickly got up and ran over.

When we arrived, we found that the large corolla was still moving slightly. The old ghost seems to have just been stimulated, and he can't get angry for a while. The huge corolla is a knife down, and it suddenly pulls to the side, opening a big hole.

There was a "bang", and from the open corolla, a pile of flesh and blood flowed out. We focused our flashlights on the pile and gasped. Inside was a corpse that had been digested and almost digested!

It was not so much a corpse as a skeleton.

Somehow, this unlucky guy got here? "Buried in the mouth of flowers". At this time, there was not much left of the flesh, only a pile of white bones remained. Duoduo and Lisa couldn't stand the bloody scene and ran to the side together and threw up.

The old ghost was also taken aback, and asked, "Damn, what the hell is this, it can still eat people?" ”

"Cannibal Flower!" According to this qiē judgment, I have already guessed * not far from ten, so I said it firmly.

The old ghost hurriedly asked in surprise, "Cannibal flower?" ”

"Well, there is a flower in the world called the man-eating flower, and they generally grow near the primeval forests and marshlands of the Masun River in the Americas. Some say it is in the primeval forests of the Amazon basin in South America, while others say it is on the island of Java in Indonesia. It looks very proud and has an attractive scent like an orchid.

The man-eating flower is a mysterious plant with certain animal-like habits. It takes at least ten fresh lives to be devoured and eaten to produce a flower, commonly known as: "one out of ten". That is to say, among the ten flowers, only through the offering of living life can a green fruit be born! Eating countless insects, ants, birds, beasts, and even innocent passers-by, they also devoured the other nine small fruits that bore fruit at the same time. By the time it is 100 years old, a green fruit of the cannibal flower will go from green to brown and then ripen into a blood-dripping red. At that point, it will become a treasure in the world. It can be made into an elixir that increases the value of ability, and it is a rare treasure. It's a pity that it's just a legend, and no one has ever seen the crimson man-eating flower fruit.

It is precisely because it eats people and grows up because of human blood supply, that it is so precious! I said.

The old ghost, Duoduo, and Lisa were all extremely surprised by this. invariably asked, "There are still flowers that can eat people?" ”

I smiled and said, "There are more plants that can eat people!" There are about 500 species of carnivorous plants on the planet, such as pitcher plants, bottle grass, flytraps, felt mosses, and many more. However, they only eat small animals like insects. Those who can eat people belong to this cannibal flower.

The man-eating flower is actually a rafflesia, because the diameter of the flower is very large, and the flower itself emits a special smell. The center of the flower is a large hollow, the small one can fit a small child in it, and the large one can accommodate an adult. Legend has it that an expedition team went deep into the forbidden land of the local indigenous people in the rainforest in search of a new variety of virus vaccine, but was accidentally preyed upon by a man-eating flower. ”

"So fierce?" The old ghost asked.

"Well, among the indigenous peoples, there is a story that once a native woman was driven to climb the sacred tree because she violated the precepts of the tribe. As a result, the tree's eight leaves with hard thorns wrapped her tightly, and when the leaves reopened two days later, all that was left was a pile of white bones.

Some savage tribes also raised man-eating flowers as tools for execution. Flower burial is an extremely cruel punishment commonly used by them. ”

Seeing that they were stunned by what I said, I didn't say anything more. I'm afraid I'll scare them, and that's going to be troublesome. A few of them still had their mouths half-open, and they didn't seem to have come back to their senses. However, it is necessary for me to remind them: "In general, man-eating flowers and man-trapping vines tend to be together!" ”

"Trapper vine?" Lisa was taken aback.

Well, in the tropical primeval forests of Panama, there is also a kind of "trapping vine" that resembles a cypress. If it accidentally touches a rattan, it will wrap itself around the person like a python until it strangles him to death. Therefore, it is important to watch your feet and behind you. Keep the knife in your hand at all times! ”

I stopped talking, and if I said anything more, I was afraid that it would cause panic, so I hurriedly stopped. With the help of the flashlight, he continued to examine the remaining bones. Thinking, who would be so unlucky to come to such a place?

At this time, due to the irradiation of the flashlight, a bright light suddenly reflected in the pool of blood. It looks like some kind of metal object. I quickly picked up a small twig from my leg and jumped the thing out. The four of us hurriedly came over to check, and vaguely saw the words on it.

I found some tissue paper from my bag and wiped it briefly. When we saw the words on it, we were dumbfounded: He Jianguo.

Lisa exclaimed, "Uncle? ”
