Chapter 072: The Terrifying Nepenthes

An excellent baby can exert a combat effectiveness that is not inferior to the master, at that time in the ninth tomb of the ancient tomb, the baby without a trace of Qianshui left a deep impression on Zhou Jian, that is really called a fierce one.

It takes a lot of time and money to cultivate a baby, Zhou Jian used to patronize to do tasks, and then basically relied on brushing copies to upgrade his experience, and he has not made a baby until now, what he is thinking about now is, since the dark sword can catch the baby in the game, does the famous sword also have this ability in reality?

He looked at the spirit beast bar, and the three positions were empty, was it really possible?

Realizing this possibility, Zhou Jian's breathing became short, if he could control the animals in the world at will, it would be awesome.

Suppressing his excitement, he slowly approached the American tapir and performed the skill "Catching the Holy Beast", which is a life support skill that can be used in a stealth state.

However, to Zhou Jian's disappointment, the American tapir did not react at all and the capture failed.

Zhou Jian did not give up, and tried more than ten times in a row, but the American tapir was like an old monk who had settled down, and he couldn't shake him.

In the end, Zhou Jian reluctantly accepted this reality, it seems that the skill of capturing the Holy Beast is only effective for the "Holy Beast", and the Holy Beast is only available in the Holy Beast Mountain in the game.

Catching the Holy Beast doesn't work, so what about the Light of Temptation, which is capped at three for all non-undead creatures? In addition to the Light of Temptation, what about the Master's advanced skill, Divine Persuasion?

It's a pity that Zhou Jian's current level and mental power are not enough, and these skills that make him coveted cannot be learned.

Just when Zhou Jian was thinking wildly, the American tapir suddenly let out a scream like killing a pig, and at the same time the ground was violently lifted up like a carpet, Zhou Jian was taken aback, and his body retreated, and then, he watched a shell-like thing turn out of the ground and swallow the American tapir whole.

What kind of thing is this? Zhou Jian broke out in a cold sweat, the screams of the American tapir were still ringing in his ears, the "shell" was shaking violently, and the place where it swallowed the American tapir bulged high, and it continued to deform as the American tapir struggled.

Zhou Jian recognized that this thing was a carnivorous plant, a variant of the pitcher plant before the catastrophe, and to put it bluntly, it was a large pitcher plant. In fact, although the Amazon forest is full of dead branches and leaves, but because of the hot and humid climate, the decomposition of humus is very fast, and the rain watering leads to the loss of minerals, the soil of the forest is not only not fertile, but somewhat barren.

Nepenthes can only hunt some insects, such as mosquitoes, flies, dragonflies, etc., and some of them, such as the huge Queen of Hearts, can catch small animals such as mice and frogs.

And the sun wheel flower can hunt a little larger animals, they live in symbiosis with a kind of spider, this spider is called Amazon bird catcher spider, adult individuals can grow to the size of an adult's palm, weighing more than 100g, if they build a web can cover a tree more than ten meters high, the weight of the spider web alone can reach 300g, they hunt, frogs, birds, mice and other small animals, can eat the whole pigeon at one time.

Some species of birdcatchers live in symbiosis with the sunflower, which wraps around its prey through vines, and then the birdcatcher spider hidden in it will deliver a fatal blow, injecting venom and digestive juices into the animal's body, and then dissolving their internal organs and devouring them, while the remaining corpses and birdcatcher droppings become the best nourishment for the sunflower.

This is the bizarre ability of carnivorous plants to evolve in the harsh conditions of the Amazon.

Long before the catastrophe, there were rumors about man-eating plants in the Amazon and African forests, and European explorers even wrote in their expedition diaries that they had seen indigenous people punish and kill criminals with man-eating trees.

As time passed, the tapir's cry grew fainter and weaker, and finally disappeared completely, and the shells stopped shaking and stood silently in the jungle as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Jian felt a chill in his heart, the mutant pitcher plant has no eyes, it relies on the change of perception pressure to hunt the prey that falls into the trap, and its stealth skills can only deceive the eyes, but it can't deceive the perception, that is to say, even in the stealth, he is not absolutely safe.

Although Zhou Jian was confident to rely on his excellent bounce power to dodge before the stinger of the pitcher plant pierced his body, who knew that there were other dangers in the Amazon forest?

He gritted his teeth and cast a thief's secondary skill, Detective, on his surroundings.

The scout range can cover up to 10 meters, and hidden enemies and traps can be detected in the game. The results of this investigation made Zhou Jian's scalp tingle, just within a radius of more than ten meters, there were thousands of energy groups symbolizing life, some of them were hidden in the trunks of trees, some were hidden in the dead branches and leaves, some were buried under the soil, all kinds of strange insects, all kinds of lizards, poisonous snakes and rodents, there were many kinds of dazzling, and there were few of the same species. Each of these hidden creatures could become killers.

Zhou Jian gasped, even though he knew that he was in a state of invisibility, he still felt a chill. The strength of the ghost slayer incarnation is indeed strong, but it is not to the point of invulnerability, the last time the little devil's shuriken made his health drop a lot, what if it was attacked by these strange creatures?

When Zhou Jian was thinking, he suddenly heard a rustling sound, like the sound of scales rubbing against the ground.

He held his breath and looked at the shaking bushes, and after a few breaths, a head slightly smaller than a human head exploded out of the bushes, it was a python!

Zhou Jian was overjoyed, but he was immediately disappointed, but unfortunately it was not a mutant forest snake.

The python snake has a thigh-thick body, a dark blue body, and most of its body is hidden in the bushes, and it is impossible to see how long it is, Zhou Jian naturally doesn't want to have extraneous branches, he stood there motionless, wanting to wait for the snake to go before acting, but he didn't expect the python to spit out a dark red core, staring at the place where Zhou Jian was.

Zhou Jian's heart sank, and he realized that he had been discovered by this giant python, and the snake has two sets of visual systems, one is the snake eyes we see, which can collect visible light, and the other is located in their face or lip socket, which can perceive infrared rays.
