Chapter Eighty-Four: Kale Man-Eating Vine

After coming out of the academic office, the school's end bell rang, and the quiet campus began to be noisy, filled with noisy footsteps and conversations......

Ruinon left the Academic Affairs Office and walked quickly to Room 206, his desk still lying quietly by the window, covered with a thin layer of ash because it had not been used for weeks.

Ruinon came to the desk and blew lightly on the table, a hazy dust mist was raised, and when the dust and fog cleared, he sat down and reached out to pull out the textbook for the animal and plant research class from the desk, and thought to himself: I haven't been in class for a while, and I don't know where their class is. Hey, it's useless to dream about yourself, don't you know the Tao when you get there?

Located on the southwest side of Phelps College, the Comprehensive Laboratory consists of a wide area of earth and rock, several acres of plantations, and seven laboratories. It is a place dedicated to raising magical animals and plants and conducting dangerous experiments.

"Laboratory Five...... Oh, here it is. "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, few people would have believed that the splendid Phelps College was so shabby." With that, Renon pushed open the tattered wooden door and entered.

Lab 5 is a shack made of several metal supports, the walls are made of wood on all sides, and dozens of poor wooden bars are erected above the head, the so-called roof, and the sunlight shines through the cracks in the wood, leaving mottled shadows on the ground. Inside the shack is an open dirt field, and the corners are littered with scissors, hoes, hammers and other agricultural tools. Isn't this a farm greenhouse?

When Renon walked into the No. 5 experimental field, an exclamation came from the noisy conversation, "Ruinon, why are you here?" Needless to say, the source of the sound was Jerry.

Rainon followed the prestige and smiled at Jerry. He walked forward quickly and said, "What's the matter? I won't be able to skip school if I don't come? What's more, have we agreed? See you in the animal and plant research class." ”

"Now that you're an intermediate magician, why are you here to take classes? Jerry asked, puzzled, looking at Rinon in confusion. Intermediate Magician?Jerry's words fell, and more than forty pairs of eyes around him stared at Rainon and Jerry.

"You should have heard of it, there is someone in the third class who is taking the intermediate magician qualification exam, his name seems to be Renon Stamoko, is that him?"

"yes, I've heard about it, but I don't think he'll make it. ”

"I heard you right, Jerry said he passed the test?"

"No!" everyone whispered around Rainon and Jerry.

"Jerry, you've made me miserable!" said Ronon as he dragged Jerry's clothes to the corner of his clothes, sweating profusely.

"That's what it's like to be watched, it's not comfortable!"

Just when they were overwhelmed by the onlookers, the class bell saved them. As the bell rang, the No. 5 laboratory fell silent. The sound of heavy wheels rolling outside the test room was heard. "Click!" the door opened, and Ms. Caterina walked into the laboratory with a heavy cart on which was placed a heavy metal box, which kept shaking and making a dull sound, as if something powerful was trying to break free.

"Teacher, what's in there?" asked Bella Kent, who helped with a push.

"Oh, thank you, Miss Kent, that's what we're going to do today. A very rare plant. Teacher Caterina wiped her sweat and said.

"What's in class?" Hearing Ms. Katarina's words, the students began to talk about it.

"Rare plants?"

"Oh my God, this must be some kind of terrifying monster, right?"

"yes! I'm more convinced that it's a rare monster. The crowd unanimously came to one conclusion.

Teacher Katerina is actually a very good teacher, if her personality and temper are not so weird...... Ruinon stared at the iron box and thought: I remember the last time she got more than a dozen vampire bats in class, the previous one was a Montora lizard...... Anyway, there is not a single class that is not a dangerous creature. We were all scared half to death, and she said, "These are cute little guys." This time, I don't know what kind of monster she got again.

(Vampire Bat: A very dangerous primary magical beast.) It is distributed in the central and southern parts of Central Continent, the body size is small, the longest body length is not more than 9 cm, the largest weight is not more than 30~40 grams, there is no exposed tail, the coat color is mainly black, and the appearance looks very ugly. Vampire bats have tough fur, hard bones, knife-like teeth, and an unusually sharp "knife edge" that can easily pierce hard leather armor, and a cone-shaped mouth that is conducive to sucking the blood of animals. During the day they live in groups and in dark, dry caves, and do not move until after dark, foraging regularly every night, and their black coat color is ideal for flying at night. In addition, they are called monsters because they can hide their bodies in the shadows, and they are like ghosts, so they are named vampire bats. )

(Mondora Lizard: Advanced Warcraft.) It is rare to find only in the Gobo Forest in Mondora, the capital of Maslua. The adult body is about 1 meter long, with flat sides, often curled tail, and protruding eyes, and can live near dark and damp bushes or streams and ponds all year round, and is good at swimming, and can prey on fish, water birds, etc., and sometimes can also hunt large creatures such as buffalo and crocodiles alone. The Mondora salamander can change its body color at any time, it is very hidden, its saliva and blood are highly toxic, the claws of its forelimbs are long, about 7~8 cm in length, and its fangs and claws can easily tear through the chain mail. When in danger, they puff out their abdomen and spray saliva with a strong corrosive poison, up to a distance of 2 meters. )

"Alright, all right, ladies and gentlemen, now the class begins, oh! Today's special guest is a bit of a grumpy. Be careful, everyone, and be prepared for defensive magic. Katerina-sensei said as she laid out a magical defense barrier around the metal chest.

"Baby, you can come out, this black and narrow iron box didn't suffocate you, did it?" said Teacher Caterina took out a wand from her sleeve and waved it lightly at the metal box, "Bang!" The heavy lid opened, and with a "hiss!" sound, I saw countless green tentacles sticking out of the iron box with slimy liquid. The tentacles seemed to sense something around them. "Whoosh!" a tentacle shot towards Katerina-sensei.

"Smack!" The green tentacle slammed into the defensive barrier, and a flash of lightning flashed, and the tentacles immediately retracted into the box in pain, leaving only a wet trail on the ground.

"Gass!" the forty-odd students present let out uncomfortable complaints.

"Oh my God! I bet I'll save a meal today. Jerry whispered to Rainon.

"Uh...... I agree with you, but I guess I can save two meals. ”

"Students, I would like to introduce you to one of the rare plants on the Middle-earth continent: the Kale Man-eating Vine!" said Teacher Katarina, and with a wave of her wand, the iron box in the barrier overturned, and the huge body of the Kale Man-eating Vine appeared in front of the students' doors.

(Calle manha: A dangerous plant that grows in the eastern Andes and is scarce.) Herbaceous plants, lacking the structure of roots and leaves, have no flowers and no fruits, rely on division to reproduce, and like shade and dislike light. The Kale man-eating vine has a main stem in the middle, cylindrical in shape, about 20~80 cm in diameter and 40~70 cm in height, with a smooth surface with white bristles, and it hisses when an object approaches. Dozens of small vines emerge from the top of the main stem, according to the current record, there are at least 13 and a maximum of 36, the diameter of the small vines is about 3 cm, the skin surface is smooth, pale green, can secrete viscous and corrosive turbid liquid, is very sensitive to changes in ambient temperature and light, aggressive, once an object approaches, it will pounce on it and bring it back to the main stem, the corrosive mucus will digest it, and the white bristles will absorb the digested prey. There are numerous small brown tentacles at the base of the main stem for climbing and locomotion. At present, they have only been found in the forests of Gotarone, Puten, Andorra and other countries. It is known as the man-eating vine because it has devoured the lives of countless expedition members. In 1043 B.C., the first Kale man-eating vine was discovered by Decker Kalai in the Nanfu Forest of Putian, and the expeditionary community named the plant Kalai man-eating vine in honor of this unfortunate explorer. )

"Oh my God, this thing is ugly!" shouted the classmates.

As soon as the Kale man-eating vine hit the ground, the white bristles on the main stem shook and hissed like a foraging rattlesnake. Dozens of vines crawled along the ground, leaving a slimy trail everywhere they went.

Caterina clapped her hands to signal everyone to be quiet, "Ahem!" she cleared her throat and began to introduce the dangerous plant to the students: "The Kale Man-Eating Vine was discovered in 1043 BC and was ...... by the history of Middle-earth"

"Jerry, I can't take it anymore, I don't know how Teacher Katerina endures. Rinon leaned softly on Jerry and said.

"Didn't you notice that Teacher Caterina was skinny? ”

“...... Don't underestimate these white bristles, they are the absorbent organs of the Kale man-eating vine. And these pale green vines are its predators and digesters. After saying that, Teacher Caterina tapped the ground with her wand, and a shining summoning circle appeared on the earth and rock, accompanied by a flash of light, a gray mouse appeared in the summoning circle.

"Summoning ......," Ronon whispered as he looked at the mouse that appeared out of thin air, reminding him of what happened in the Black Forest.

"Now let's see how the Kale Man-Eater Vine reacts when prey approaches?" said Katerina-sensei, opening a small opening in the barrier, throwing the mouse into it, and then immediately closing the barrier. I saw that the bristles on the stems of the Lord trembled rapidly, like a poisonous snake spitting letters. The "hiss" sound became heavier and heavier, and when it swished, the rat couldn't dodge, and the vines had already entangled it to death, and the corrosive mucus slowly flowed down the mouse's fur, and the fur began to turn black and rot wherever it went, and the rat would make a desperate "squeak" sound when it struggled in pain...... It didn't take long for it to fall silent.

"Vomit!" the classmates all made disgusted sounds, and some girls even closed their eyes and didn't dare to look.

"The slime of the Kale man-eating vine is highly corrosive, and the vine is extremely aggressive, making it a very dangerous plant......"

"Jerry, I'm wondering when this tangled lesson will end?" Rynon asked, leaning on Jerry's shoulder.

"yes! I wish I could get out of class now so I can visit Angus. ”

"What's wrong with Angus?" said Rainon, surprised.

"He's been injured and he's seriously injured and he's lying in the school care room, and Sarah calls her dad to bring the best doctors, medicines, and equipment in St. Deste Hospital, and he should be fine for now. Jerry said and clenched his fists, "Damn martial arts class! It's just a friendly match, and you can do it so hard!"
