339. Double Scourge 22
The main function of the wind dew grass is that it can be used to craft advanced healing potions, but it is also one of the materials used in many commonly used potions.
At this time, Xilan drank two glasses of wine, because it was fruit wine, and she didn't drink badly, so she was not drunk, but she also relaxed her vigilance a little, and she was not as nervous as before.
Xilan was infected by her calm emotions, so after hearing Su Yu's question, she lowered her head and thought about it, and finally decided to tell everything she had learned.
"Yes, at least that's what I thought at first...... I was originally collecting resources in one place, but suddenly my friends came to me and told me that they had found a lot of wind dew grass...... "Xilan is also a human being, and he is also a layman, and it is inevitable that he loves money."
She knew the value of the Wind Dew Grass, so after she knew about it, she almost didn't hesitate, and chose to follow her friend to the place where the Wind Dew Grass was said to have it.
It turned out that her friend was not lying, but there were many, many wind-dew grasses over there, and not only that, but she even saw two extremely rare herbs in that place at the suggestion of her friend.
In fact, to be more accurate, there are many herbs there that she doesn't recognize, and it is estimated that they are all rare herbs, but she only knows these two plants.
"Those who have a few herbs only recognize two of them, one is a withered grass and the other is a life-sustaining grass." The names of the two herbs are very simple and crude, the former can be used to make poison and seal the throat with blood, and the latter can be used to sustain life.
Originally, that large patch of wind dew grass was attractive enough, but they also found even rarer herbs, what difference is this from letting them discover two golden mountains?
But it's far from that simple...... However, Su Yu was already able to guess some of the future situation.
It is said that the world is all about balance, and it is their opportunity to encounter these herbs, but opportunities often come with risks.
And Xi Lan's next words also confirmed her guess.
"Everybody coveted those herbs, but we found that there were a lot of man-eating vines sleeping there...... "Man-eating vines, as the name suggests, feed on people, but they are not so exaggerated, they just attack living creatures and then use their flesh and blood as their own nourishment.
This is a plant that is very dangerous even when it is not mutated, and it has good combat effectiveness.
Not to mention that it's mutated.
So if they want to collect those plants, the only way is to get rid of those cannibal vines first, and then collect them.
But they are not combat-ready......
"So you're going to the battle team and want them to help you deal with those man-eating vines?" Su Yu knew that the situation at that time could never be like this, but she still pretended not to know and asked.
In this way, it can also test Xi Lan's attitude towards this matter a little.
Xi Lan frowned and shook his head: "No, it's not like this, in fact, if they have a choice, they don't want the battle team to come over." ”
If someone from the combat team comes, although this can help solve the man-eating vine, whether it is the wind dew grass or those particularly valuable herbs, they will definitely not get much.
Keep in mind that these herbs are much larger than the drops of mutant plants.
Even though they knew that the task of the combat team was to protect them and not rob them of what they found, none of them dared to bet on whether the combat team would be selfless and helpful.
"I see, you don't want them to come over, because they think that when the combat team comes, they will help clean up the man-eating vines, but they won't be able to get the herbs." Su Yu bluntly exposed their thoughts of treating others with their own lives.
Xilan was silent, but nodded.
Su Yu's fingertips tapped the table, and then took the initiative to ask, "Do you know what they did to solve the man-eating vine?" Can you tell me about it? ”
In fact, even if Xilan doesn't say it, Su Yu can guess it, but what he guesses can't be regarded as evidence after all, and it can't be used as a basis for punishing those people, so the real meaning of Su Yu's question is whether Xilan is willing to be this 'witness'.
……
The acid rain outside is still falling, it is obviously daytime, but because of the existence of acid rain, the sky is gradually dyed with a layer of haze, and it seems that the whole world is darkened, and it is as dark and unpredictable as people's hearts.
Su Yu eventually learned everything she knew from Xilan.
In order to be able to get the battle team to help destroy the mutated man-eating vines and keep the herbs, the gatherers chose an extremely risky method - two of them pretended to be caught by the man-eating vines, and then the rest went to call the combat team to help.
Once the members of the combat team came over and entered the battle, they could take advantage of their entanglement with the man-eating vine to pick the most precious herbs.
As long as the most valuable herbs were picked, even if the Wind Dew Grass had to be divided into parts, they would not feel distressed.
After all, the whole piece of Wind Dew Grass added up is not as valuable as a life-sustaining grass.
Although this plan is very crude, it is indeed feasible, because the location of the long growth of those precious herbs is very hidden, and it is impossible to see it if you don't pay attention.
The combat team didn't think this would be a plan on their part, so they would only focus on killing the man-eating vines and not even notice what a small group of gatherers were doing.
It's just that the plan can't keep up with the change, although they successfully lure the combat team over, and the combat members are also entangled with the man-eating vine as they wished.
But I don't know if they overestimated the strength of the combat team, or underestimated the combat power of those mutant man-eating vines...... In short, several of those members of the fight almost died there.
This is true even for the combat team, not to mention the incapable gatherers.
When they realized that something was wrong, those who were afraid of death ran early, and those who asked for money and did not want to die continued to stay there to collect wind dew grass.
In the end, the incident ended with two wounds to the combat team, two serious injuries to the gatherers, and five minor injuries.
Those who knew about it were all participants, so they didn't dare to speak up about it for fear of being kicked out of their territory.
The unwitting gatherers were ignorant of the matter, and they were also deceived by the gatherers into thinking that it was all an accident of bad luck.
Those who know don't say it, and those who don't know can't do it, which leads Ankana and them to still think that all this is just a tragic accident inadvertently caused by the gatherers.
Although Xilan was not involved in this, her friends did.
