339. Fruitless torture
The thin earth was covered with low shrubs, and the branches of the shrubs were covered with cold, glistening thorns, and under the protection of these menacing thorns, the fruits were seductively fragrant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis is a place outside of Voyage Town, and it's not clear exactly what kind of night Ziyun is, because he just grabbed the thief who was reaching out to him and used teleportation in one direction at random.
"What? Aren't you going to explain? Otherwise, I'll really throw you down. ā
Although it was a random teleportation, it was a surprise to be able to come to such a place overgrown with various thorny shrubs. At least Ye Ziyun didn't need to look for other "game items", and he could immediately play happily with the thief in front of him.
As for the gameplay? Naturally, he first imprisoned the thief's ability to act with his spatial ability, and then carried him to float above those cold and shining bushes, so that the other party could fall into the danger of chrysanthemum remnants at any time. You must know that the sharp thorn below is only a millimeter away from the thief's buttocks, and only a person like Ye Ziyun who is proficient in spatial skills and has superb control is likely to carry out this novel and exciting gameplay.
"Bah~!!!! Don't don't, don't! I beg you! If I get pierced by ants, the rest of my life will be over! Those thorns will be left in my body, and I don't want to cut the flesh off my body! Please spare me! ā
Hearing Ye Ziyun say joking things in a joking tone, and then looking at the serious expression on his face, the little thief named Xiaoliu panicked.
Xiao Liu is now beginning to regret finding Ye Ziyun, not only did he not get any benefits from Ye Ziyun's body in this operation. Now even the "happiness" of the second half of life is likely to be lost. As a thief, there is nothing more than failure.
Antwattle, a plant that mutated from a shrub native to Earth. The species before the mutation is no longer available. However, as a common shrub that is mainly distributed around human settlements, there is still some knowledge about them. For example, the plant was supposed to be some kind of ornamental plant before the mutation, but after the mutation, the plant not only strengthened the strength of the plant, but also acquired a special method of obtaining nutrients as a shrub that grows on poor soil.
Once the thorns of the ant thorns are pierced into the bodies of other creatures, they will quickly grow tiny barbs, so that the thorns can stay in the muscles of the other person. Subsequently. The detached spines activate a defense mechanism - quickly injecting venom into the opponent's muscles. The toxins of the venom weren't lethal, though, and only a fraction of the amount of the spines themselves. But the toxin makes the creature feel itchy like never before, like being crawled around by thousands of ants. This is also the origin of the name "Ant Vitex".
The itching caused by the ant wattle will never go away until the thorns that have been pierced into the body are removed, so you have to remove the thorns if you want to stop the itching. But the thorns were already covered with thin barbs, and if they were pulled out, the main body of the thorns would indeed be removed. But some of the tiny barbs remain in the flesh. And as long as even a small barb is left, then the feeling of ten thousand ants crawling will not disappear completely! Therefore, there is only one real solution to the trouble, and that is to tear off the thorn and the small circle of flesh around it. And these stripped off meat naturally became a rare source of nutrients for ant wattles.
As for how to get other creatures to get closer? The answer, of course, is the fruit under the protection of the layers of thorns. The fruit of Ant Vitex is delicious, and although it does not have the effect of improving strength like those spirit plants or magic grasses, as long as you eat it once, then anyone will like that taste. Although this thing is not addictive to other creatures, including humans. But it will also make the other party remember, and it can be regarded as a snack with a wide audience.
The flowering period of this plant is only ten minutes. And it's self-pollinating. And compared to this incredibly short flowering period, their fruit set period is as long as 10 months! Ten months is enough for the ant vitex to obtain enough nutrients. After the fruit drops, the plant enters a two-month dormant period, after which the accumulated nutrients are depleted and the vitex begins to bloom and bear fruit again.
Because of the long fruit setting period, with the number of ant wattles in the wild, as long as you can endure the pain, it is easy to eat delicious and delicious fruits. Now with the increase in the strength of the human beings in this world, their own recovery energy will naturally be strengthened, and it will not take long to recover by stripping off a small piece of meat, so so far few people will find a way to deal with the ants. Besides, if you come here wearing card-level armor, the thorns of this plant will lose their effect, and you will have as many fruits as you want to eat. This can be regarded as a way to generate income, but people who can afford to use card-level armor don't care about this small benefit.
However, Xiao Liu, who is now being held in the hand by Ye Ziyun, is obviously not a person who can afford to wear card-level armor, or even a person with a slightly stronger recovery ability. If Xiao Liu met one of the above two points, he would not have gone to the entrance of the market to do that kind of hand-to-hand thing.
Ye Ziyun looked at Xiao Liu's expression, listening to some of the interesting information in his words just now, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
"What's that~ The fruit of this ant wattle looks delicious, why don't you give me a meat shield first, and wait until those thorns are gone, and let me pick a fruit to taste? To be honest, I've never eaten this fruit when I'm so big. ā
Ye Ziyun said in a very upright tone, righteously and awe-inspiringly, that made Xiao Liu's heart frightened.
In fact, Ye Ziyun didn't lie, how could he have eaten the fruit of ant thorns? He also saw this plant for the first time today.
"No, no, no! Don't do that, every other week there will be an old man in the market setting up a stall under the street lamp in the central square, where the fruit of the ant wattle is sold, and you will be able to eat it if you wait for two more days......"
Seeing that Ye Ziyun didn't seem to be joking, Xiao Liu immediately threw out a piece of information again.
Hearing this information, Ye Ziyun's eyebrows furrowed.
For this information, he is not actually interested in the fruit of the ant thorn, after all, Ye Ziyun has spatial ability, and he can have n ways to pick that fruit. He cared about the old man, according to the thief in front of him, it was definitely not an easy task to get the fruit of the ant thorn, otherwise it would not be possible to take it to the market to sell. As for the statement in the mouth of the thief that "it is absolutely delicious", Ye Ziyun does not believe it. The stalls in the bazaar are not so easy to take, judging from the fact that the old man can get a fixed stall every week, the sales of ant wattle fruit are definitely very hot, otherwise as a person who can get a stall in the prime location of the center, the old man would not be guilty of bringing a bunch of unsellable fruits every week.
"Forget it, I'll take your word for it. So, I guess you guys should know a lot of news, as long as you answer my next question, if the answer satisfies me, how about I let you go? ā
Although he knew that the words in the thief's mouth were a little moist, Ye Ziyun still decided to let this person go. After all, he caught the other party in this kind of unoccupied place not to discuss the sales of a certain fruit, but to inquire about some news.
"Yes, yes, yes! Ask, and I'll know everything. ā
Seeing that Ye Ziyun had the intention of letting himself go, Xiao Liu nodded hurriedly.
"To be honest, I have some friendship with the first mate of the Wyvern, I made an appointment with that guy to meet in Yuanhang Town before, and now that this situation is happening, I just want to know what happened to them."
Ye Ziyun took the opportunity to raise his own questions, he was hung on the reward order for no reason, if what the reward order said was true, it would be fine, and now he was actually blamed! If you don't figure out the truth, Ye Ziyun will definitely not be able to swallow this breath!
As for what to do after figuring it out? What's this...... Why don't you wipe off the person who blames him?
"That's... Regarding the Wyvern, all the people in the town of Voyage who are begging for a living like us have been given a gag order...... If... If I say it, I'll be dead...... Belch...... Dragon... Dragonseed Monster ......"
As soon as Xiao Liu heard Ye Ziyun's question, his face suddenly fell.
As low-level people living in Yuanhang Town, no one knows better than them the horror of the current rulers of Yuanhang Town. Maybe it's not the person in power that they're afraid of, because that person will never embarrass a small person in order to ensure his support among the people. What Xiao Liu is afraid of is actually the external affairs investigator, that person's strength is really terrible, Xiao Liu even feels that as long as that person is willing, then crushing himself is definitely a matter of eyes.
So, the frightened Xiaoliu began to explain to Ye Ziyun that he hoped that Ye Ziyun could let him go. But as he spoke, he was stuck, because he suddenly saw a dragon monster about five meters long and covered in dark green scales standing behind Ye Ziyun. Xiao Liu didn't know where this dragon monster came from, and he didn't even know when it came, but such a monster was synonymous with power, and it seemed that today it was not only himself, but even the young man in front of him who had captured himself here could not escape death.
Due to excessive fright, Xiao Liu directly rolled his eyes and fainted. (To be continued.) )
