Chapter 36: Jingyuan and the Thorn Tree

[The event has been completed, and the reward is being settled...]

Kyungwon saw such a line of small print.

Also, it can't be like a game, with a light touch, the snake will be skinned and deboned out of thin air, and you still have to do it yourself.

When he clicked the hint off, he suddenly noticed another thing.

The avatar of the character who represents himself is next to a monster guarding treasure...

Moreover, the monster's small icon has stuck out its tongue and rolled its eyes, and the treasure is bright and openable.

He turned his head to look at the strange and hideous black thorn, and suddenly realized that the humanoid creature that had just been killed by the python was the keeper of the treasure.

This Nima is really a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind!

"Haha!"

Jing Yuan hugged Xiaobai high and almost threw it into the sky.

Thanks to Xiaobai, he was able to spot the big python, and he was eating at the time, and he didn't notice anything swimming in the river at all.

Although he has the [Hunting] skill and can lock the location of the prey, the police dog has to get a reference to smell the prisoner first, and he doesn't even remember the smell of the python, so naturally he can't track it.

If it weren't for Xiaobai's cleverness, he would really have passed by the mutant python.

"You're a great hero, come, be happy, laugh." Kyungwon looked up at it with a smile.

Xiaobai wagged his tail 2 meters above the ground and let out a pitiful whining sound.

Let's not say that it is afraid of heights, it is still hungry, and it was knocked over by someone halfway through the licking of the rice bowl, and the situation was not clear, so it was inexplicably stuffed into a travel bag and bumped up and down.

Jing Yuan saw the word "embarrassment" on its face, deliberately teased it, and did not put it down for a long time.

For so many days, this puppy could amuse him, he shook his hand, pretending to throw Xiaobai up, but in fact, he turned his hands around and put it on the ground.

Xiaobai was frightened, swayed on the ground and walked a few steps, and then ran to Jingyuan's feet in a circle, rubbing his head with his head, it was really good to forget the pain.

Kyungwon finally realized what it was like to be chased by those goddesses who were licking dogs, and how to say it, reminded him of the poor, pinched Tom.

Not in a hurry to dispose of the loot, he opened a can of canned beef from his travel bag and put it to Xiaobai's mouth.

Those who only have an appetite are different, he does what he says, and when he says that he eats meat, he must eat meat.

This place is still within the scope of the park, and the surrounding area is perceived, and there is no trace of zombies, so Jingyuan is relieved to put Xiaobai on the bridge to eat, and he carries a knife and gun alone, stepping on the lawn, and going to the thorn.

He could only see the skull of the python when he got closer, its head completely shattered by the bullet, a large black gurgling hole oozing some kind of dark slime, and the dead yellow blades of grass were stained with black blood and scales from the bullets.

A pitch-black object stuck in its throat was its prey, and by its size, it was about the size of an adult.

Humanoid, but not humanoid at all, the position above the waist is completely swallowed by the snake, leaving only two legs outside, no signs of decay on the body, no clothes, unable to distinguish gender, like a strange thing made of black silt, those thin mud-like black unknown goo is dripping down, very weird, disgusting.

Kyungwon tried to stay away from the places that were stained with black slime, not knowing if it would be corrosive, and there was always a feeling that it wouldn't be washed off for a long time.

Then look at the snake, the snake body is thicker than Jing Yuan's thighs, and it is measured from the head of the snake to the tail of the snake with a 1.5-meter-long file spear, and it is measured to be 12 meters long, which is like a big monster that ran out of "Python Disaster".

The python had a large wound on its tail that hurt its bones, and the middle of its abdomen was slightly raised, as if there was something left undigested.

Kyungwon rubbed his hands, held a kitchen knife, rode on the snake's back, and pulled from the wound, trying to open the snake's belly.

This is a very difficult process, although its flesh is not bright red like a living creature, but the flesh is very tight, and the scales are as hard as iron sheets, and Kyungwon must cut them little by little along the gaps in the scales, otherwise it will get stuck.

Even when Xiaobai finished eating canned meat and ran over to circle around him, he only cut out a small hole more than ten centimeters long.

It's hard to imagine what kind of creature cut the python's tail with such a large long mouth, and judging by the coherence of the wound, it seems that the creature used only one blow.

He felt that it was a little difficult to do, with this efficiency, he couldn't dissect this python when the sun went down, this snake weighed at least a few hundred kilograms, and he couldn't move it.

He thought about whether he would deal with it later, and see what the treasure was.

Having experience with mutant mangoes, he thought that something should be on that thorn tree, and he stood up and walked to the side of the tree, startled.

It's not the tree that's scary, it's short, only about three meters tall, and although it's full of spikes, it doesn't look particularly weird.

But the roots of the tree, where they were hollowed out, were forcefully propped apart from the earth, forming a birdcage-like shape, an oversized hollow birdcage, at least five or six meters deep, in which several corpses were placed, and the sharp roots wound and pierced the corpses.

It had only rained heavily, but there was no pond of water in the pit.

Kyungwon could distinguish that the corpses were zombie corpses, as if they had been thrown in the last few days, some of them had not yet been entwined by the roots, and they had maintained a basic shape, and even one of them maintained a faint reaction, and its hands could be seen moving.

But the corpse that had been inserted by the roots of the tree had completely lost its moisture, shrunk and withered, and became a dry corpse that seemed to have been weathered.

The bottom layer of the "birdcage" is not even visible in the mud, bone meal, bone fragments, skeletons... Not only human, but also animal remains, which cover the soil with a thick layer.

No wonder there are no zombies around, all of them are absorbed by this tree as fertilizer.

Jing Yuan looked at the human-like creature in the throat of the python, and guessed that it was the thing that cleaned up the surrounding zombies and used it as fertilizer for the thorn tree, is there a symbiotic relationship between it and the tree?

Kyungwon beckoned Xiaobai to the side to cool off, carefully observing by the thorn tree.

Finally found a special place, where the most thorns were entangled, hung a long, black spike.

It is about half a meter long, a bit like a large eggplant, but it looks much harder than an eggplant, and it is made of pure wood, but it looks like black iron, and it has a metallic luster.

It has a handle at the tip that really looks like the petiole of an eggplant.

This was the only thing Kyungwon found something special, so he picked up a file spear and poked the handle of this "wooden eggplant" vigorously.

The part where the handle connects to the thorn tree is not hard, and the sharp file was originally a tool for filing the shape of the part, and every time Kyungwon poked it, he could poke down a small lump of wood, like a carpenter cutting a wooden board with a planer.

Soon, the wood on the top of the handle was finely planed by him, and looking at the same, he turned the spear around and struck the "wood eggplant" with a hose.

Shaken, snapped, and the "wood eggplant" fell on the grass.

Kyungwon held its handle and lifted it, and then opened the map, and the prompt to get a new item popped up.

[Item Name: Immature Mushroom Tree Fruit.]
