Chapter Twenty-Four: Dragon's Whisker Grass
I closed my eyes for a long time, but the imaginary pain did not come. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Qiushui slowly opened his eyes, and there was no trace of a giant ape. There were only Zhu Jue and the old man in front of him, as well as Squeak, who were looking at him worriedly...... Qiushui suddenly came to his senses and took a few steps back, with a vigilant expression on his face. Zhu Jue shook his head, they have been together for a while, and this thing is still so afraid of this chinchilla.
At this time, Lin Lin on the side also opened his eyes. When she saw Qiushui and the others, she immediately asked suspiciously: "Is this hell? Are we all dead?" Why does this hell look no different from the real world...... Zhu Jue shook his head, and saw that Qiushui was also looking at him puzzled at the moment, so he stopped selling Guan Zi and explained: "Actually, just now we all had a lot of hallucinations because we smelled a strange fragrance with a psychedelic effect. In fact, there was no pouring rain at all, and there were no huge monkeys tens of meters high. ”
"Then why didn't I smell anything strange?" Qiushui asked.
Zhu Jue thought for a while and said, "It's probably because this peculiar smell is very weak, so we can unconsciously suffer a loss." If we had smelled it all of a sudden, we would have been suspicious. ”
"Then how do you see it?" Lin Lin frowned.
Zhu Jue smiled proudly: "Although this strange fragrance is light, the squeaky nose is even more sensitive." In fact, as early as when we approached this area, Squeak was there to remind us. It's a pity that we just squeaked and were hungry, and didn't think about anything else. So Squeak secretly took some precautions and reduced the intake of aroma. When you were fighting with the ape, I happened to find that there was grit stuffed in his squeaky nose, and there was no trace of rain on his body, and then I thought about the unreasonable thing that there would be a huge ape in the center of the Gobi, and I came to this conclusion after thinking about it. Actually, I wasn't sure at the time, but the situation was critical, so I thought it would be better to give it a try, if it was really caused by hallucinations, if I could hold my breath and get rid of distracting thoughts, I would definitely be able to get out of the illusion. ”
Qiushui nodded and said, "If we are still alive to speak here, it proves that you are right." Thinking about it this way, this ecstasy is really vicious, it can make us really feel the pain, not to mention, but also drive us to resist hard, and the more fierce we resist, the more we feel the amount of intake, which further strengthens the illusion. I've heard of similar drugs before, but never before has one been so powerful. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the old man clapping his hands again and again, and said: "It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong, it must be so." ”
Lin Lin asked curiously: "Uncle, what's the matter, did you think of something?" I saw the old man nod and said: "I think this dragon beard grass is precious and abnormal, but there are few records, and no one has found it for many years, presumably because of this natural protective layer." No matter how powerful the strength is, as long as you are not careful, you will enter this illusion, or die, be injured or escape, in short, you will not be able to get close to the dragon beard grass for half a step. This time, thanks to Zhu Jue's little brother, who is very smart, he can crack it. With that, the old man hurriedly put on his luggage and walked forward happily, forgetting for a moment that Qiushui and Lin Lin were injured, which shows how attractive the dragon beard grass is to this botanist.
"Can you go?" Zhu Jue asked worriedly. I saw that Qiushui and Lin Lin both shook their heads, indicating that they were fine. Lin Lin also picked up Squeak, kissed Squeak and said, "Squeak, this time it's thanks to you." Qiushui looked disgusted, and immediately shouted forward: "Hey, old man, wait for me." With that, he ran forward, leaving Zhu Jue alone crying and laughing. It is said that since Lin Lin and Squeak were inseparable, Qiushui deliberately kept a distance from her. However, Lin Lin was busy amusing squeaky and didn't pay attention to it.
After experiencing the illusory maze, several people couldn't help but have a few more eyes, and they became more cautious on the road. Fortunately, nothing special happened next, and when the moon was rising one day, Zhu Jue and his party suddenly saw that there seemed to be a patch of purple on the land in front of them. They glanced at each other, hurriedly walked forward, and saw that the comfrey grass that was more than one person tall and more than ten centimeters thick fluttered in the wind in the moonlight, stretching for dozens of meters, forming a rectangular purple phalanx, under the illumination of the moonlight, emitting a faint faint light, which was particularly conspicuous in this desolate and barren land.
"This is the dragon beard grass, I didn't expect it to be so high!" Zhu Jue looked at the grass and said in an exclamatory tone.
"Dragon's beard grassDragon's beard grass is really like a dragon's beard. Lin Lin also nodded on the side. But the old man couldn't control his body, and hurriedly ran to the edge of the lawn, stroking the grass roots, only feeling smooth to the touch, like a warm feeling like a precious jade. The old man tried to gently pluck one of the dragon's beard grasses, but he felt that the grass was unusually tough, although it seemed soft, it was actually like steel bar. "Heaven and earth are created, heaven and earth are created. The old man muttered there as he took out his notes from his bag and recorded them non-stop.
"Look closely!" Zhu Jue suddenly pointed to a dragon beard grass and said. Everyone looked there, and saw that the grass seemed to be different, with a multicolored bud on its head, delicate and delicate, as if it was about to open. If you look closely, it's not just this lesson, this lawn is densely covered with flower buds, accounting for one-third of the total.
"Presumably, the source of the strange fragrance is here, and everyone needs to be cautious. When everyone was looking at it, Qiushui reminded on the side.
"I wonder when this flower will be able to bloom?" Zhu Jue suddenly asked curiously. The old man who had just finished recording walked up to Zhu Jue and said excitedly: "According to the old man's observation of the fullness of the buds and his previous experience, these buds can open in less than a day, and this flower likes shade, and legend has it that it often blooms in the middle of the moon." This time, we are lucky, and after waiting here for a few hours, we may be able to see this once-in-a-century wonder. Everyone nodded, thinking that this trip was really not in vain, although they almost lost their lives on the way, it was worth it.
So Lin Lin began to set up a simple tent around the lawn, and Qiushui and the others didn't seem to have seen enough, touching the grass, touching the buds, and running into the grass again, with an excited look on their faces. The grass is taller than a man, and although it grows thickly, there is no need to worry about trampling it to death. Just when several people were immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of them and couldn't extricate themselves, in the darkness, there were two pairs of eyes quietly watching them.
"I didn't expect anyone other than us to be able to penetrate the illusory maze, is it someone from the Guardians?" a voice said in surprise.
"Presumably not, according to what I just sensed, the strongest of these people is just Xiaocheng. A group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, don't worry. Another hoarse voice said, "Let's save our energy to deal with the ancestral dragon, according to calculations, there should be only a few hours left." ”
"Yes, General. ”
