Chapter Seventy-Three: Small

These giant dragonflies have a good temper, otherwise they wouldn't have given the advance team a ride.

Judging by the style of the advance team, this is not the first time they have used this method to go down the mountain, and these giant dragonflies may not be impressed by them, but according to the tower, as long as they do not take the initiative to provoke them and do not attack, they do not mind the hitchhikers and are willing to give them a ride.

Looking down from the dragonfly's back, the forest below looks very peaceful, of course, this is only the surface, and the land below is even more dangerous than the mountains and forests passed through on the previous hunting route.

The law of the jungle also applies here, some trees are too dense, in order to absorb nutrients, there will also be great competition, Shao Xuan can occasionally see some withered trees, the trees are very large, they look like they are a hundred years old, and they are intertwined. It is such a tree, but it has withered, there is no wormhole, and the trunk has not cracked, but it has been "obliterated" by other trees around it.

The battlefield of plants may be on the ground or underground, and if you put aside the ground, you will see that the dead tree, the root system of the underground has been strangled by the roots of other trees around it.

"Attention, it's time to get ready to go down!" Ta reminded Shao Xuan.

They couldn't follow the dragonflies all the time, the destinations were different, and after a ride, they parted ways.

The dragonfly swarm was very large, and the advance team of more than forty people was not all gathered together, even if the dragonflies they were riding on at the beginning were next to each other, but with the flight of the dragonfly swarm and the change of their formation, they soon disappeared.

"Jump!"

Shao Xuan didn't exert his strength at all, so he was carried by the tower and jumped down.

The tower chose to land on a plant that stood there like a tall building, and it fell on a huge leaf near the top, and the cushioning of the blade removed some of the force, and the tower waited for the dragonfly to jump down when it flew a little low, so it would not fall and get hurt.

landed safely, and Shao Xuan was also put down.

The leaves under your feet are a little cool and not smooth.

In other positions in the air, there are also team members who have successively found a suitable landing point and jumped down.

"Let's go. ”

The tower beckoned Shao Xuan to follow, but this time he didn't carry Shao Xuan, but he promised that the witch would bring Shao Xuan back safely, so he had to keep an eye on it.

"Be alert to your surroundings and react quickly. Tower admonished.

"Hmm. Shao Xuan followed the tower, jumping from the upper leaves of this plant to the lower leaves, and he had to be careful not to roll off the leaves.

The plant has leaves only near the top third, and further down, only the thick stem.

The tower deliberately slowed down, and Shao Xuan followed him down the stem.

The trees near the ground were not as bright as those above, the vegetation was too dense, and the branches blocked the sunlight too much, and only a few of them were cast through the gaps. It was obviously cooler below, but just those rays of light were enough for Shao Xuan to see the surroundings.

Here, Shao Xuan has a feeling that he seems to have become smaller, or that the world has become bigger.

The last time I went out hunting, I saw a lot of ancient trees and large fierce beasts, but I didn't feel as small as I do now.

Even the mushrooms are the size of a wooden house, can you not feel small?

Immediately close to the rhizome of the tall plant, Tower blew a whistle and summoned the others who had landed.

The whistle is a bit deeper, not as good as the whistle of other hunting squads, such as the chirping of birds and deer. This is used exclusively in this area.

Subtle sounds are heard from a short distance and are difficult to detect if you don't listen carefully.

Shao Xuan looked sideways and found several thin vines like grass ropes stretching rapidly to this side.

Shao Xuan and Ta both stood in the direction of the vines, but Shao Xuan felt that the target of these vines seemed to be himself.

Sou!

A small stone knife was nailed to the ground, and the tip of the vine that was stretching this way was also cut off.

The severed vine immediately stopped stretching in this direction, but quickly retracted, as if frightened.

Ta went over and took back the stone knives and said to Shao Xuan: "Don't treat them as dead things, otherwise you will die." Moreover, many of them know how to be weak and avoid strong, and the weakest in our team is you. ”

Sure enough, it became a target again.

The fierce beasts in the mountains and forests will attack the cubs of other races when they find an opportunity, and here, even these plants know how to find soft pinch, and they can't hold it if they are too strong.

Shao Xuan had heard someone say in his previous life that plants also have five senses, including sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, but many people don't pay attention to it. And now, Shao Xuan has deeply experienced the magnified five senses of these plants.

Not long after, the other warriors who had landed in various places also gathered here, counted the number of people, and then continued to set off. However, this time, they were divided into two detachments and went from two directions to find the mission from Wu Fa.

In this way, Shao Xuan's team is only twenty people.

For this vast green area, it is impossible for the advance team to be familiar with every inch of land, but they can identify the direction, as long as there is sunshine, they will not get lost, and their route is basically the same.

In the forest, you can hear birds chirping and insects, and there are all kinds of sounds made by some plants, sometimes like knocking on the door, the sound of tuk tuk tuk echoes in the forest, and sometimes the sound reminds Shao Xuan of the sound of the mast turning the iron shovel.

Following them running in the forest, Shao Xuan saw all kinds of plant murder weapons, one moment it was quiet and peaceful, and the next moment it became bloody and bloody.

Shao Xuan once saw a plant, the originally smooth leaves can be turned into a saw or cutter in an instant, chopping up the animals or other plants that intrude around it, and then burying it in the ground around it to increase nutrients.

There are also direct carnivores, some of which are similar to the sundew, pitcher plants, etc., which I have seen in my previous life, and some are more ferocious, belonging to the active attack type, the general kind, the advance team will avoid it, and that type of plant is generally not easy to mess with.

"Rest, Tohwa and go get water. After a long day of driving, Ta said.

What Wu is looking for is not here, and they will have to run for a while to encounter it.

There are no rivers around, not even streams. Shao Xuanzheng was puzzled, so he saw Tuo and Yan came to a plant with thick leaves, and used a stone knife to split the surface of the stem, and it took several consecutive knives to break the cracks, and if there was only one knife, the walls were too thick to be cut, and even if the gaps were cut, they would soon be closed.

The green liquid flowed out of the slit with a faint sweet scent. Tuo and Gul took the kettle and collected the liquid that flowed out.

Those liquids will also attract other insects, so except for Tuo and Shao Xuan, who went to fetch water, everyone else was on guard around, and if they came to kill one insect. Some people are guarding against the sky, and some are guarding against other directions in the forest, and when they are allocated, they can only vacate two people to fetch water.

"Ah Xuan, throw the kettle over!" said Tuo, who was fetching water over there.

Tuo didn't let Shao Xuan get close to the plant, so Shao Xuan stood about ten meters away. Hearing Tuo's words, Shao Xuan threw the empty gourd over.

After filling it with water, Tuo threw the gourd over and continued to call for the next team member to throw the kettle.

Those clear green liquids attracted a lot of insects, all of which were relatively large, and a random beetle was nearly a meter.

"Hurry up!" the tower urged.

In the distance, a swarm of insects flew towards this side, and they were twenty people, and they couldn't hold the swarm of insects.

When the last pot was finished, the group of bugs was still about two hundred meters away, enough for them to leave.

"Let's go!"

After taking the water, it is natural to leave immediately.

"What are those?" asked Shao Xuan as he stood resting on the leaves of a plant after leaving a certain distance.

"We call it the ripper, the plant we took water from just now, after we finish taking water, it can recover quickly, the incision will heal, and the water that flows out will be reabsorbed back by it, and then it will be protected with a thick wall, many insects can't take it, or leave after they can't smell it, but the tearer is different, when you meet a tearer, the plant will most likely die. Tuo said.

The insect called the ripper, as the name suggests, has blade-like forelimbs for biting and cutting. Meat and vegetarian meat are not taboo, they will suck plant juice, but also suck the blood of animals, and often fly in groups.

The advance team didn't want to fight the rippers, one was that the swarm of rippers was too lethal, and the other was that the bugs were too smelly, and if they got on the smell, they might not be able to get rid of them when they returned from hunting.
