Chapter 297: The Blood of Flowers, The Man of Wood
With the flower plate of the cannibal flower and collecting some of their branches and leaves, Long Moon left the mirror of all things.
Then, before returning to the Unholy City, she spent a long month studying the man-eating flower, and through her research, she discovered that this plant was very special, especially the sap it squeezed.
It is not accurate to say that man-eating flowers are plants, their life characteristics are between alien beasts and alien plants, this kind of creature Changyue is not the first time to see it, Changsheng next to her and Danzhu next to Baiyi are such creatures.
So the juice that flows out of the cannibal flower's body can also be said to be its blood.
After almost recording the research results, Changyue and the others also returned to the Sacred City without any problems.
As soon as they arrived at the Immortal City, Pan Changan returned to the holy mountain of the Infinite Holy Land, and Changyue and the others were still placed in the City Lord's Mansion.
Since Changyue and the others came to Zhongzhou in the name of envoying to the Wuji Holy Land, they naturally had no intention of going back for the time being.
At the same time, Changyue is also waiting, she is waiting for the empress to integrate the blessed land she has just arrived into the Nine Directions Realm, and she is also waiting for the empress to completely figure out the situation in the blessed land.
The army of the demon clan has been idle for a while, and it is just the right time to take the opportunity to pull it out and practice.
After almost figuring out the characteristics of the man-eating flower, Changyue planned to use her research results to do a little experiment to verify the conjecture in her heart, so she said to Mo Lianhai on this day: "Ancestor, how about we go to the Saintless City for a walk?" ”
Mo Lianhai said: "It's okay, after staying in the Saintless City for a while, we haven't taken a good look at the customs of Zhongzhou." ”
"Let's go, then."
Immediately, Changyue and Mo Lianhai took General Tiger, General Qingtian, and a team of imperial guards to the streets of the Unholy City.
As the closest and largest city to the Wuji Holy Land, the city is indeed very prosperous, and warriors can be seen everywhere, and the proportion of warriors in the total population is far greater than that of other cities.
Changyue and Mo Lianhai strolled through the streets, tasted the unique food of the Immortal City, and bought some gadgets unique to the Immortal City.
Of course, such a big city has not only prosperity, but also some unknown tragedies.
You must know that compared to ordinary people, martial artists are high up and above, and ordinary people can kill and kill for them, which is not only applicable to the other twelve states, but also to this place in Zhongzhou.
Changyue and the others were strolling around, and suddenly saw a pharmacy, which made her stop.
"Girl, do you have any medicinal herbs you want to buy?" Mo Lianhai's hoarse voice rang out.
Changyue shook her head, she just saw her peers subconsciously look at it twice.
Just as they were about to leave, a mass of objects suddenly flew out of the pharmacy, and then a young man dressed as a man appeared at the door, and he scolded: "What kind of thing, don't ask what kind of place this is, dare to come here to steal things, it's like looking for death." ”
Changyue looked at the mass of objects that fell to the ground, and realized that it was a dirty child, the child was about eight or nine years old, and he was already in a coma at the moment, and blood was constantly overflowing from his mouth, and he was about to die.
The guy was still angry, so he stepped forward and raised his foot again and kicked the child hard.
Changyue thought of the research results she had just made, and suddenly her mind moved, and at the moment when the guy was about to kick the child, she flicked her fingers, and an ice needle flew out, hitting the guy's ankle accurately.
The man screamed and fell to the ground, the cold air spreading up his ankles, freezing his entire leg into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was standing at the door, he was very annoyed when he saw that his guy was being attacked by someone, and wanted to step forward to reason with others, but when he found out that it was Changyue who made the shot, he quickly licked his face and stepped forward.
"This adult, I don't know how the guy in this store provoked you, you point it out, the little one must teach him a good lesson for you."
Changyue was followed by a group of fierce people, and at a glance he knew that it was not easy to mess with, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy was very discerning, and knew who could and could not be provoked, so he was very fast in sliding and kneeling.
Changyue said coldly: "He's in the way of my eyes." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, but soon raised a smile and said: "Then he really deserves it, so take him away from the little one, so as not to continue to pollute the eyes of adults." ”
With that, the shopkeeper quickly picked up the man and entered the drugstore, and then quickly closed the door.
At this time, General Tiger had already come to Changyue with the dying child in his arms, "Girl, are you for this little cub?" ”
With a wave of her hand, several silver needles flew out and landed accurately on the child's acupuncture points, and the child was hung for the last breath.
"A-Niang...... A-Niang ......"
The childlike spirit was like a gossamer, and a faint murmur came out of his mouth, but those present were all masters, so they could naturally hear what he was saying.
"What a poor little cub." General Tiger smacked his lips, but there was not a hint of sympathy in his tone.
"Let's go." Changyue said expressionlessly.
"Yes!" General Tiger hurriedly followed with the child in his arms.
Changyue found an inn, chartered a yard, and walked in with Mo Lianhai and the others with the child.
"Put people down!" Changyue said to General Tiger.
"Yes!"
General Tiger replied and put the child on the ground.
"Feed this to him." Changyue took out another pill and handed it to General Tiger.
"Yes!"
General Tiger took the pill, pinched the child's mouth and stuffed the pill in.
After a while, the child woke up, but as soon as he tried to move, he noticed a sharp pain in his chest.
"You're going to die, you know?" Changyue looked down at the child and asked.
The child's painful eyes were blank, he didn't know who the person in front of him was, but he knew very well that he was going to die.
Although the medicine shop guy is not a great character, Gao Gao is also a martial artist, and one kick is enough to kill him.
"A-Niang...... A-Niang ......"
The child's mouth kept murmuring, and a strong desire to survive erupted in his eyes, if he died, what would A-Niang do?
Seeing this, Changyue said: "Now that you have a chance, if you seize it, you may survive, you may die even worse, and you may be half-dead, do you want to try?" ”
As for her research results, Changyue is not easy to say what the results will be, after all, she has only conducted theoretical research and has not undergone experiments.
The child nodded vigorously, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes, no matter what the final outcome was, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he wanted to grasp it.
"Good!" Changyue nodded with satisfaction, "I hope you don't regret it." ”
Changyue slowly stretched out her fingers, only to see that there was suddenly an extra syringe in her hand, which she made based on the memories of her previous life, and the syringe had an emerald green liquid in the needle, which was the result of her research during this time.
Changyue slowly squatted down, plunged the needle into the veins of the child's neck, and then slowly pushed the liquid medicine in.
At first, the child did not react, but after about a stick of incense, green blood vessels began to spread outward in the child's neck little by little.
"Ahh
The child wailed and rolled in pain, green veins spreading rapidly throughout his body, and his skin began to lignify, especially his hands and feet, which were almost completely lignified.
Then they were amazed to see that the child's hair began to fall out, and at the same time thin emerald green rattan sprouts grew from the top of his head, dotted with tender green buds.
After about two hours, the child's strong reaction finally stopped, and he opened his eyes again, only by this time his pupils had turned emerald green.
"Congratulations, you survived." Changyue said to the child, "How do you feel?" ”
The child blinked his eyes and raised his arm stiffly, but found that his arm had been wooden, he stared at his arm for a while, and after a while, emerald green rattan suddenly appeared on his arm, and he could control the movement of the rattan freely, and it was even more flexible than his fingers.
At the same time, he also discovered that his legs were able to grow roots and take root in the earth, and then draw nourishment from the earth.
As for the injuries he suffered before, they had completely disappeared at this time, and he had acquired a physique similar to that of a plant, and his recovery ability was very strong.
This can no longer be called a "human", perhaps should it be called a "tree man" or ...... "straw man"?
While asking the child about his feelings, Changyue recorded it with pen and paper, but she still felt that there were too few samples.
It seems that we still need to find some people to do the experiment.
Putting away the pen and paper, Changyue asked the child, "What's your name?" ”
"Back to ...... Back to my lord, my name is Gou Yu. The child stammered in reply.
Gou Yu is just a little beggar, he doesn't even know who his father is, and no one has named him, everyone calls him Gou Yu.
"Dog left...... Changyue didn't laugh at the bad name, but pondered for a moment and said, "From now on, you will be called Mu Congsheng, so you will ...... Follow me. ”
Clusters of homophonic rebirth.
"But...... "Dog left...... No, it's called Bush now, but he hesitated.
"What? You don't want to? Changyue asked rhetorically, "With me, you don't have to beg anymore, you can learn the means of survival, and even become a ...... Warrior. ”
Everything Changyue said was very exciting, but he couldn't leave A-Niang.
"My mother...... My aunt ...... "The wood bushes are full of branches, he doesn't know Changyue, but he knows that Changyue must be a big man, so his heart is full of fear."
"Ah~~" Changyue suddenly realized, she remembered that the child had been muttering "A-Niang" before she fell into a coma, "You still have relatives, you can bring her with you!" ”
"Thank you...... Thank you......" Mu Congsheng quickly knelt on the ground, but because of the woodenness of his legs, he couldn't adapt to it, so his movements were very stiff, he wanted to thank Changyue, but he didn't know what to call Changyue.
Seeing this, Changyue said to him, "Just call me girl!" ”
"Yes, thank you, girl!" The bushes of wood slammed and gave Changyue a few knocks.
Changyue turned to a guard and said, "You take him down to wash and change his clothes." ”
"Yes!"
The guard answered, and then led the bush away.
Looking at Mu Congsheng's back, Changyue thought to herself: It seems that there is nothing wrong with Mu Congsheng now, but it remains to be seen whether there will be sequelae in the future.
And she was also looking forward to whether Mu Congsheng would have some special abilities.
Soon Mu Congsheng was led back by the guards, and after washing, he changed from a dirty boy to a little baby with clear eyebrows, looking much more comfortable, but a little thin, like a little chick.
"Auntie...... Girl. "The first time I put on my new clothes, the wood was a little cramped, and the wooden fingers kept pinching the corners of the clothes.
"Not bad." Changyue nodded, "Let's go pick up your aunt and go back." ”
Led by Mu Congsheng, Changyue and his party came to the slums of the Unholy City.
A city not only has its prosperous side, but also its poor and unbearable side, and the unholy city is especially evident in this regard, where the warriors sing and dance, while the common people live like beggars.
The slums are littered with wooden shacks, there are few serious houses, and the people who live here are dressed in rags, with thin faces and numb expressions, like walking corpses.
Compared with here, the demon capital is simply a paradise on earth, at least under the governance of the empress, the people live and work in peace and contentment, not to mention worry-free food and clothing, but at least they will not starve and freeze.
"Here...... I don't like it! General Qingtian said in a muffled voice.
Changyue and his party were extraordinarily imposing, gorgeously dressed, and incompatible with the slums, and those who saw them would subconsciously hide in their homes to prevent them from getting into trouble.
Because of his strange appearance, he wore a cloak on his body, so that no one in the slums recognized him as a former dog.
Soon they arrived at the Bushy House, a shack smaller and more rudimentary than all the shacks around.
But before they could enter the door, they heard laughter coming from inside.
"Auntie!"
The bush screamed and rushed into the house, the first time he had run so fast since the vegetative had become a plant.
The moment Mu Congsheng rushed into the house, he saw his aunt lying on the ground without knowing it, and there were four men around her who were picking up her clothes.
Mu Congsheng knew these four people, they were homeless people in the neighborhood, they usually stole chickens and dogs, and never did anything serious.
A few days ago, he had noticed four people wandering around his house.
Seeing A-Niang being bullied, the bushes of wood were about to split, and I saw countless rattans pouring out of him, and the four of them were wrapped into zongzi in an instant.
"Ahh......h Monsters! The four looked frightened.
The vines tied the necks of the four people and tightened continuously, and when Changyue and them came in, the four of them had already begun to roll their eyes, obviously they had taken in more air and less air, but Mu Congsheng was carried away by anger and did not notice the situation of the four people.
Changyue looked at the situation inside the house, and did not make a move to stop the bushes.
After a while, Mu Cong's physiology gradually returned, he screamed, and quickly withdrew the rattan that bound the four homeless men, and the four of them fell to the ground, already out of breath, and their necks were twisted in an abnormal posture, obviously strangled and broken.
After turning into a tree man, the quality of the wood bush was greatly enhanced, and he easily killed four adult men just by being a child.
Mu Congsheng sat on the ground in horror, his body trembling uncontrollably, "I...... Killed...... I'll kill ...... Killed ......"
Seeing this, Changyue reminded: "Let's take a look at your aunt first." ”
"Ah...... Yes, yes, A-Niang! Auntie! Mu Congsheng reacted at this time, hurriedly crawled to his aunt's side, hugged his aunt and kept calling.
The woman was covered in dirt and mess, looking like she was thirty or forty years old, and she finally opened her eyes slowly under the call of the wood.
"Dog leftovers?"
