Although the surrounding trees were dense, the girls could clearly see Pannis's whereabouts. Seeing that he appeared outside the bush that Catherine had signaled under the cover of the shadows around him, he glanced inside, seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then turned his head away, not even interested in looking back. Returning to the girls, Pannis didn't explain, and pouted directly and said, "Go, detour, bypass that wood." ”

"Well, okay, it's easy to get around. Catherine was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "But there are enemies inside, and it's troublesome?"

"The enemies inside are not troublesome at all, the dead undead are good undead, they have nothing to trouble with. Pannis sighed and said, "It's the trees that are in trouble, and it's very troublesome. ”

"The trees?" asked Catherine, surprised, "do you know those trees? We've never seen them before." ”

"I haven't seen it either, and it's probably a species endemic to the core forest. "But when you pass by in the neighborhood," said Pannis, "you will see when you pass by." ”

"It's fine. Catherine nodded as if she didn't understand, and had vaguely guessed what might be wrong with the woods, and waved to the girls, and the group regained their vigilance, changed direction slightly, and cut past the edge of the jungle. In the process of passing by, the girls could not suppress the curiosity in their hearts, peeked into the jungle, and after a few casual glances, they understood why Pannis reacted like this.

The trees of the jungle are not actually dense, but from the wide canopy, there are a large number of aerial roots hanging to the ground, standing upright between the trunks, and from a distance, it looks as if the trunks are growing very densely. It's weird though. Many of these trees have withered and looked lifeless, as if the soil has not absorbed enough nutrients to sustain the life of these plants, and only a few of them are still flourishing. It is in stark contrast to the same kind around it. In the center of these lush plants, there are two large balls, which are formed by the aerial roots of the plants, and seem to wrap something inside, layer after layer of dense wrapping, leaving no gaps. And the faint rancid smell emanated from these two large balls, and without thinking about it, you can guess what is in the balls wrapped in air roots.

"These guys. It's a carnivorous plant. Catherine said in surprise: "No wonder they are now half-dead, as if they may wither at any moment, because they are missing the supply of foreign meat." Nutrients from the soil alone can't supply all their needs. ”

"That's why I said detour. "Otherwise, as soon as we enter the woods, we will be targeted by the hungry plants, like those two balls, wrapped in layers of them." become their nourishment. They looked hungry. Presumably, they won't let us go because they are picky eaters and think we are not delicious. You see, they can't wait a little bit and want to keep us. ”

Indeed, these carnivorous trees could not wait, and the maidens had been standing close to the woods, not entering the range of these trees. However, it was now evident that in the absence of any wind, the air roots of these predators were stretching in the direction of the maidens, as if they were going to entangle the maidens and drag them back into their territory.

"Thank you for staying. I'm not interested in being a ball, though. Lina took a few steps back, and was sure to pass a spreading air root: "Let's get out of here, they don't seem to want to let us go." ”

"Bang", a sound sounded like a bowstring breaking, it was Catherine wielding her long sword, severing several extended air roots. In order to cut off the air root, Catherine didn't just cut out a sword, the first slash used a lot of power, but did not use the fighting energy, when the air root was cut, there was a crisp sound, as if a sword slashed on a boulder, and the next few swords all contained the energy of the fighting qi, and a sword was stronger than a sword, but each sword was like cutting on the sauropod gum, no matter how much power was used, the long sword would be bounced back in the end, until she used the highest strength of the fighting energy, she barely cut off the three air roots that stretched out. The dark red sap with a fishy smell seeped out along the fracture of the air roots, as if it had really cut off the limbs of some kind of creature, and the rest of the air roots seemed to be frightened in some way, and quickly retracted into the forest, never daring to come out again.

"What are these plants? Lina saw the whole process of Catherine's test, and asked curiously: "After the same kind of people are harmed, they will actually take the initiative to retract, are they really still plants? And these things are so hard and scary that if they are tightly wrapped, they will never be able to break free and escape on their own." ”

"If nothing else, these are the Garama mentioned in some of the Elven accounts, and when translated into lingua franca, the living tree. It is said that these trees will tie their prey tightly, and the more the prey struggles, the tighter it will be tied, and it can even strangle the prey alive. After subduing the prey, Garama pierces the skin of the prey with the tip of the aerial root, secretes a dissolved liquid like some spiders, and melts the prey from the inside while absorbing the nutrients that melt into the liquid until the prey is sucked into a dried corpse before letting go," Pannis shrugged and said, "It seems that the debate about Garama can now be over." ”

"What's the argument?" Vivien said sharply, "If there is a debate about them, the most likely thing is whether they belong to animals or plants." ”

"That's it, there are a bunch of boring scholars among the elves, who have been divided into two factions arguing whether Garama has a soul or not, and they believe that if there is a soul, it should be classified as an animal, even though their characteristics resemble plants. "But now it's clear that they don't have souls of their own, they belong to plants," said Pannis. Well, if he were to sell this conclusion to Antuin, he would be willing to pay a lot of hedron to buy it. Hey, why did I sell the conclusion in the first place? It must have been ...... by someone Alas, alas, don't hit, don't hit, your shoulders are going to be crushed. ”

Catherine glanced at Pannis, and asked angrily: "What is wrapped inside should be a transformed undead demonic beast, their ** have been absorbed and eaten, but they are not dead yet, and they have been struggling, so these galamas are getting tighter and tighter, and finally wrapped into a ball." ”

"I should, but I'll leave quickly. Penisnunu mouthed: "The air root who was scared away by your few swords seems to have called a lot of companions, and they have surrounded them again, and if they don't leave, I think we will really have a chance to find out what treatment those transformed demonic beasts receive."
