Chapter 158: The Lost Trace of the Ancient Town 12

The man looked at the one-meter-long sword in front of him that was still shining with sword light, and suddenly jumped up in fear and leaned against the wall, and then immediately raised his hands and begged for mercy

"Wait, wait, what are you doing! I've said everything I should have said, don't kill me, I don't want to die yet! Please, I'll give you lots and lots of money, let me go, let me go."

"Wait a minute! Brother, don't worry, maybe he hasn't..."

Jasmine reached out and pressed down Ryui's sword-holding hand, stopping him from slashing people

But before she could finish speaking, a faint aroma mixed with fluorescent blue powder wafted from a distance, and Jasmine suddenly felt bad when she saw this, and subconsciously covered her and her brother Longjing's noses.

But the man who was still begging for mercy was not so lucky, and without any defense, he inhaled the aromatic powder directly, and then immediately showed an extremely intoxicated look on his face.

"Hehe, it's so fragrant~ hehe..."

The man enjoyed the bliss that the fragrance brought to him, but this time the sweet dream came and went quickly, and soon his body began to change, he began to convulse violently, and the expression that he had been enjoying suddenly became extremely painful, and he even rolled his eyes.

"Uh, uh, help! Help me! , help me~!"

The next moment, his body was constantly trembling, and something seemed to bulge in his skin and then squirmed, and almost instantly, fluorescent blue vines burst from all over his body.

The vines with strange leaves almost stabbed the man into a sieve, but even so, blood mixed with minced flesh continued to gush out, and the dim corridor was instantly stained bright red by the man's blood.

This is the scavenging grass, a strange plant that grows in an alien galaxy, its blue color glows beautifully at night or in dark places, it is a parasitic vine plant that will produce fragrant fruits when it matures.

The scent will confuse passing animals and attract them to eat their fruits, and then through the seeds trapped in their bodies to achieve the purpose of parasitism, in the process of parasitism, the seeds will gradually absorb the nutrients of the parasitized.

After the nutrients of the parasite are squeezed dry, it will grow directly in the body of the parasite, and then come out of the body from everywhere and entangle the parasite until it is tortured to death, but even then it will continue to grow on the decaying corpse, until the residue left by the parasite is sucked up, hence the name scavenging

Jasmine looked at the dying man who was tortured by scavenging herbs in front of her, and her face showed an unbearable expression, but it was useless to do anything at this point.

Looking at the bloodied man on the ground, Jasmine shook her head helplessly, but now was not the time for silence, because the blue powder and aroma that had just drifted over had gradually spread from the end of the corridor to a large area from the end of the corridor.

And Jasmine, who looked at the blue mist, shrank her pupils, and then felt bad in her heart.

"Oh no!"

She exclaimed and leapt towards the blue mist, followed by Ryujing, but unlike before, he had already drawn his swords, holding them in his hands, ready to fight.

So with the blessing of light work, the two of them soon came to the hall, where the blue disgust was much stronger than that in the corridor, and even made people feel suffocated.

And under such smoke, one after another bloody "corpses" pierced by blue plants were piled up on the floor of the hall, and they were bleeding and rolling their eyes and struggling in place, but this was only in vain, because the more the vines were moved, the tighter they were entangled, and the faster they died, and the whole hall was like purgatory on earth.

"Heh~ah, uh..."

"Help, help, uh~"

"Uh... Woo~"

Jasmine looked at the purgatory-like scene in front of her with a sad face, as a healer, it was difficult for her to be moved to see this, after all, it was a doctor's heart that was a parent who thought about the patient, even if Jasmine clearly understood that these humans were actually self-inflicted.

The blue food at the party was actually made from the fruit of scavenging grass, and parasitism began the moment they joined the party and ate the food

However, the parasitic effect of scavenging grass is actually not strong, especially for a relatively large intelligent life form like humans, if you eat it only once, it can be quickly metabolized by the human body.

However, once the fruit accumulates in the body, the probability of being parasitized will be greatly increased, so as long as the more frequent you participate, the more you eat, and the more fragrance you absorb, the deeper the parasitism will be, and in the end, people will be unable to extricate themselves and eventually become the nourishment of scavenging herbs, heading towards the abyss of death.

Seeing this, Jasmine helplessly brushed her sleeves and covered the lower half of her face, frowned and whispered, "Hey~ It's still late, if only I found out earlier."

"Hehe, late? I don't think, on the contrary, I think the time is just right."

An eerie voice came from the center of the hall to interrupt Jasmine's words, and then the owner of the voice walked in front of Jasmine and Ryujing from the layers of smoke.

The brother and sister looked at the figure of the man vigilantly, and soon he walked in front of Jasmine and Long Jing, and by this time he had already taken off the black robe and hat that covered his face to reveal his true face.

Rotten Ying looked at Jasmine and Long Jing in front of her, and said to herself with some ill intentions, "Oh, I see that you don't seem to be affected by these aromas, it seems that the two of you should be from the Wood Spirit Clan like me, or you should be the people sent by the Interstellar Police Department to arrest us back."

Long Jing clenched the double swords at his waist and stared at the rotten Ying with unkind eyes, while Jasmine sneered after hearing the words and replied to the rotten Ying in front of him

"Hehe, if I remember correctly, you should be called Rotten Ying, +-level prisoner, number 303756, you were the one who was sentenced to 300 in prison for invading a certain low-level civilization."

The rotten expression that was so directly exposed suddenly became ugly, but soon he returned to his normal state and still smiled

"Hehe, it seems that I guessed correctly, the two of you are here to arrest me, but not long ago, I noticed that many people were investigating my traces, but fortunately, my hide and seek kung fu was still home, and they didn't find my stronghold, but I didn't expect to be found by you two nobodies."

Jasmine was subconsciously taken aback when she heard that a young lord who owned the entire Wood Spirit Clan was said to be a nobody, but then she returned to normal, and she was not annoyed by this, but she suddenly felt a little funny, and thought to herself

"Oops, it seems that this fugitive is even more lonely than I thought, and I don't know where he got his confidence~"

For this reason, Jasmine smiled helplessly, and then continued, "Hehe, where and where, we are also lucky, if you were not in a hurry to harvest the last human leeks and hold this party, I would not have found you so quickly, but I think you are in such a hurry because you are afraid of being arrested and sent back to prison."

"But your behavior is even worse than I thought, in order to repair this shipboard that is about to be scrapped, you not only tempted this group of humans to pay you tribute, buy materials, repair the spaceship, but also finally turned them into nutrients for plant bodies, squeezing out the surplus value, tsk, it's really vicious~"

In the face of Jasmine's questioning, Fu Ying was not annoyed, but said as if she had been praised

"Hehe, look at what you said, as if I am so heinous, it is just an equivalent exchange, they pay me for a long time to give them the bliss they want, what's wrong with that."

"And these people are all human capitalists who eat people and don't spit out bones, they never think about anything else for their own interests, and I can be regarded as punishing them by doing so, and for some of these sick guys, don't I also cure them and let them live a little longer, so it's fair, it's their honor to be my nourishment."

"Heh, it's really strong enough to make sense, I really can't expect to have good communication with outlaws like you, but since you know that we are here to arrest you, how can you still have such leisure to chat with us? Why don't you run away?"

"Well, this one, I just see that the two of you dare to break into my territory so single-handedly, I think your courage is commendable, maybe it can come in handy..."

"So what?" Jasmine asked, tilting her head

"So I'm going to take your life around and give you a chance to follow me

。」

As she spoke, her face was full of pride and disdain for Jasmine Longjing, as if she felt as if she had done something very good.
