"Man-eating flowers", which is something that exists in the ancient botanical illustrated book. Hunters are quite unfamiliar with this creature. The main reason for this is not that they are indifferent to their surroundings. It's because the number of such weird plants is so small that people don't even notice it.

A mass of creeping plants that look little different from ordinary vines. This is something that a clansman discovered during the transplanting process. It's just that he himself paid a heavy price for the discovery. At the moment when he had just picked up the steel bar in his hand and wanted to dig it up from the root. The vines, which seemed to have no movement at all, suddenly scattered and waved as if they were under human control. They completely entwined the body of the person who tried to carry it from all sides, and tightened their hands and feet desperately, wrapping them like rice dumplings, tying the nearly two-meter-tall human body into a united ball of flesh. Finally, it is tucked into the grass where the vines grow most densely. Tianxiang and the hunters, who came quickly after hearing the news, stared blankly at everything in front of them. No one could speak. The tragedy in front of them suddenly suppressed the flame of happiness that had just risen in their hearts. It's like a devil who rules the region, laughing wildly and once again asserting his authority and power in the dark world. It warns these human beings who seek to challenge their dignity to renounce that idea of freedom. You must unconditionally and subserviently to your own coercion.

Death is not a surprise to hunters. They are not afraid of death, nor do they hide from it. It's just that when I see the tragic and strange way of dying of my companion. Including Tianxiang, all the people involuntarily gave birth to an inexplicable fear in their hearts. The hunter who was "caught" by the vine is dead. No one can survive after being confined to that tightness. His head and body had been squeezed together by thick vines. The back of the skull is rigidly attached to the back of the thigh. It was so tight that the thick legs had been completely pressed out into a round grooved pit by the force from the head. The arm was broken from an angle that ordinary people could not bend at all, and only under the skin and flesh could still see the position that was originally connected to the body. As for the palm, he had already been forced under strong external pressure and stabbed into his stomach. Because, everyone can clearly see that a piece of white intestine entwined with red blood vessels is faintly emerging from the ruptured wound caused by the palm of the hand......

Blood, red blood is the thing that catches people's eyes the most. Tianxiang noticed that the vines wrapped around the human body were covered with many small and hard thorns. They were piercing the dead with these small sharp thorns. Large drops of blood flowed out of it and flowed all around the plant. As you can imagine, the people who were caught. What kind of pain and torture did he suffer before he died?

However, it seems that the man-eating vine does not intend to let go of the dead who have long since ceased to move. They continued to shrink, squeezing the gaps between the dead with strips of vines. Even has fallen deeply into the **, and has not the slightest idea of giving it up. The most frightening thing is that they seem to have the ability to move freely. For the vines that bind the flesh of the dead have extended from all the voids of the deceased's body. One of the most obvious. Nothing more than the sturdy branches with blurred flesh sticking out of its mouth and eyes. At the top of one of them, a black and white ball wrapped in red blood shook slightly.

Eyeballs, those are the eyes of the dead! Tianxiang had never seen such a terrible plant, and he had never even heard of it. Not only him, but even Liu Rui, who rushed to the news after getting the news, the cyborg who has lived for hundreds of years and is well-informed, couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he looked at the bloody scene in front of him.

It's just that Tianxiang can clearly feel what is revealed from Liu Rui's eyes. It's not just terror and fear. And the panic, a faint, vague panic...... At the bottom of these frantically shaking vines, Tianxiang saw something else.

The carapace, stumps, and scattered hairs of the bugs.

It is clear that this is a carnivorous plant. They eat not only people, but also insects. Even, other animals, they may be interested. "Ruined it! Destroy this terrible man-eating plant! Angry, Tianxiang almost blurted out the words that had already reached his lips. But in the end, I swallowed it hard.

"Man is dead. Even if you smash it, it won't help. Instead of doing something useless and dangerous, let's think about how to use this terrifying plant on the bright side. "Tai Chi does have a great influence on the fanatical mind. At the very least, it magically guides the mind in a frenzy. Enter a state of relative calm.

There are many dangers and murderous opportunities hidden in the dark world. A terrifying man-eating plant is a rather threatening existence for oneself or one's enemies. What's more, the number of such things is quite small, and if it is used well, it can be turned into a powerful defensive tool to protect the base.

For several days in a row, Tianxiang had been silently waiting near the man-eating plants, carefully observing their every move. He found that the plant seemed to be in a state of nervous predation at all times, and as soon as there was movement around it, the thorny vines that stretched out everywhere would immediately wrap the prey tightly in all directions with the most rapid movements. That kind of speed is like a cargo being packed by an ancient automatic packaging machine.

"It's okay, it's a plant. It is a plant that is completely fixed to the ground. If this kind of thing has legs that can move, it's hard to say whether the people who rule the earth now will be bugs. Tianxiang thought with a wry smile. This is not a large area of overgrowth from plants, at best only five or six meters in radius. It doesn't seem to have any instincts to lure creatures. It's just a matter of waiting for the rabbit's action.,Waiting for the prey that will automatically come to the door.。 From this point of view, it may be more appropriate to call it a fixed trap.

Probably, their roots, deep in the soil, are merely a necessary means of making up for the nutrients they need to grow. As for hunting animals. It is the most important source of energy in the process of its growth. Tianxiang was eager to transplant the plant farther away from the base. However, from the current situation, it seems that such a possibility is not at all possible. The vines of man-eating plants are very flexible, and the slightest movement of the wind and grass can cause them to dance wildly. With the warning that the Dead Clan cost their lives before leaving. Tianxiang will never be stupid enough to use his fingers to do experiments.

So, what about the seeds of this plant? Is it possible to plant its seeds in a designated location? With this in mind, Tianxiang let go of his thoughts around the man-eating plants and searched carefully. Eventually, under a piece of stone shrouded in vines, three oval-shaped fruits were found that were black and inconspicuous.

A slender steel bar, pulling the stone flakes, pulled the target out of the control area of the vine. In the meantime, of course, the process will be harassed by the vines. However, they seem to be able to distinguish the entanglement as a dead and inanimate object. That's it, after nervous entanglement and abandonment again and again. Tianxiang finally got what he wanted. The location of the seed field is set at several places that appear to be roads leading to the base. In Tianxiang's view, the scarcity of this plant may be related to its slow growth rate. But to his surprise, less than a week after the seeds were planted, several soft green vines had already emerged from the ground...... The hunting party led by Warwind has already returned twice. Their results are quite good. Pieces of fresh meat once again fill the space of the cold storage. In order to speed up transportation and hunting, a wheelbarrow commonly used in ancient times was also built. With the help of this stuff, hunters are able to carry more and heavier things at once. Merely. Even Tianxiang himself did not expect that the wheelbarrow that was originally intended for the hunting team would be used by himself first.

The "worm circle" has been vacant since spring. This is due to the pre-winter hunting, but more importantly, because the hunters are too busy with other tasks to take care of the future food production area. The young patriarch himself was also carrying the prey back and forth of the hunting team, and finally decided to lead some of the clansmen to first solve this most important problem related to the source of meat in the future. Trichinella, aphids, grass rodents...... These herbivorous insects seem to have a habit of living together. They live in close proximity to each other, albeit in close proximity. But it has always maintained the phenomenon of living in groups. Moreover, there is an unusually similar opinion on the selection of edible plants. Perhaps, that's why the bug population has remained huge until now! The ruins, two kilometers southwest of the base, have been chosen as the location of the insect circle. The hard work of many tribesmen in the past few days has swept away the depression before winter, and in its place is a sense of luxuriance brought by the lush growth of vigorous plants. And. Judging by the trichinellates that had survived the hunt and were now devouring the fresh grass stems with impunity, it seemed that they had completely forgotten the threat posed to them by humans. The ancients said well: 'Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food.' ”

It's the same with bugs. "Catch live herbivorous insects and stock them in our own enclosures." This is Tianxiang's order to all the people who participate in the hunt, and this order is simple. It's brief. However, only such a simple and easy-to-understand order can be understood and carried out by many clansmen. As for the far-reaching implications, it will not be realized until they themselves feel the benefits in the future. The hunting grounds have already been selected, and the two insect mountains, which are more than ten kilometers south of the base, are the best source of prey. Just beneath the damp rubble covered in green moss, there was a dense mass of terrifying bugs. Those herbivorous insects with thousands of heads swaying back and forth in front of their eyes with bright red and yellow patterns on their backs will make people feel dizzy, nauseous and want to vomit, and goosebumps all over their bodies

That's food. Disgusting, terrifying, tooth-baring food. Anyone can kill insects. As soon as the hand is raised, the gun flies out, and the target is hit. The rest of the work, of course, is to run forward happily and make up another shot for the bugs that may not have completely died. Then he forked it on the tip of the spear, picked it up and walked home.

This kind of thing, any hunter would.

Today's hunting, however, is somewhat special. According to the young patriarch. As for the insects that are caught, he only needs to get them, not those that die. This kind of thing, no one knows how to do it.

A wheelbarrow filled with small earthy clay pots was pushed up. This is the anesthetic tank made by Tianxiang. It's funny to say that when this kind of thing was first made. He was only thinking about it as a consumable alternative to grenades. But he didn't expect that the venue where the anesthesia tank was actually used for the first time would be here.

Twenty meters ahead, a pile of trichinella stacked on top of each other crawled lazily among the rubble and grass. Apparently, they had just enjoyed a delicious meal of blades of grass. I take a break after making a necessary meal comfortably...... Tianxiang carefully raised his left index finger at the side of his mouth, signaling the clansmen who followed him not to speak. In his right hand, he grabbed an oval-shaped anesthetic canister from the shelf of the trolley and gently rubbed it in his hand. Then he raised his arm and threw the clay jar filled with liquid out heavily.

"Smack-" The thin, fragile tank landed exactly in the middle of the swarm. Smashed the body on the edge of a hard masonry. A pungent and pungent smell filled the humid air along with the dark green liquid that flowed out of the cracked can. "It works well!" Tianxiang, whose face had already been tied tightly with a thick wet cloth, looked at the four-legged insects in front of him with satisfaction, and secretly praised in his heart.

Indeed, the anesthetic tank is indeed powerful. With the place where the jar landed as the center, all the insects within a radius of more than ten meters stopped moving. The limbs and claws contracted tightly together. As if they had been hit by a fatal blow, they all stiffened and lay in place unconscious. The rest of the bugs were alert though. They also spotted the humans who weren't far from them. However, these hunters do not seem to be hostile to themselves. At the very least, they don't have weapons. Yes, it's just a small khaki jar that is tightly usurped in your hand......

"Go on, throw it out!" Several small, brightly colored canisters flew out of the hunter's hands again and landed in the area chosen by the thrower. The unsuspecting bugs fell asleep in a daze when they shouldn't have been sleeping.

"Let's pick it up!" Tianxiang smiled and grabbed a damp strip of cloth from his waist. Add another layer of insurance to the wipes that are already tied around the face. He immediately jumped onto the "Worm Mountain", grabbed two trichinella insects that had been anesthetized and threw them on the wheelbarrow. With the patriarch as an example, the solitary hunters began to follow suit. Although, in their opinion, the young patriarch is incredible. The ferocious and arrogant insect will be like the most obedient pet, at the mercy of itself. Even if you throw the bugs into the country yourself, you won't disturb the sleep of these prey at all.

"Oh my God! Where is this solitary hunting! It's just picking up bugs! A diminutive man said with emotion. In fact, not only him, but everyone except Tianxiang. All have the same idea.

The loading speed was very fast, and in a few moments, fifty wheelbarrows were completely filled with anesthetized bugs. The rest of the land is to release these guys who have lost their freedom into a new "worm circle". The hunters carried it back and forth four times. At night's rest, more than 1,500 herbivores have finally unwittingly left their original homes and stayed in the new dwellings that humans had deliberately prepared for them.

As the day passed, the effect of the anesthesia gradually waned. Tianxiang was pleased to see that the insects that had woken up from their sleep, except for a little puzzled glance at the strange new home, had recklessly pounced into the dense grass and feasted on it. After inexplicably sleeping for a day, even if a human wakes up, he will definitely do the same thing. "These plants grow fast enough to provide them with plenty of food. As long as these bugs make their home here, they will continue to breed. At that time, the hunting party will not have to travel so far every day. Hehe! A stable and abundant food supply, the ancient people's method of raising is really amazing! ”

Tianxiang stood in the distance with a smile, looking at the insects crawling among the rubble with interest. My mind is thinking about what to do next...... A panicked voice sounded from the side at this time.

"Clan, patriarch, it's not good, you...... You, hurry back...... Go out...... Something happened! ”
