Chapter 278: Underground Race

Ji Wenming does not understand that each plant has its own unique environment necessary for survival, these underground creatures rely on the light and heat of lava to grow, and are very different from the plants on the ground, therefore, transplanted to the small world of the king of ginseng, it may not be able to survive, but for the king of ginseng, even if these plants die, they can be concocted into specimens and kept for future research, so it is not too wasteful.

In the dark underground space, only the magma torrent emitted a huge amount of light and heat, and these red glows illuminated the cliffs on both sides of the river, and countless mountains lurked in the darkness like monsters.

This bizarre environment has nourished thousands of strange plants, formed a unique ecosystem, and as a result, supported many creatures that live on this unique ecology.

Ji Wenming wandered for a long time again, and from time to time there were some new discoveries, so that he was like a treasure, especially in the humid and sultry environment, many mushrooms are very suitable for this environment, large areas of growth in the basin and mountain cliffs, Xi Wenming found dozens of mushrooms similar to Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass, but can not be sure whether the effect is the same as the Ganoderma lucidum on the ground, so he had to stuff all of them into the King of Wood cards.

Now, when he came to the underground space, he could only use the faint light of the lava to see, and he couldn't see it at a distance, and he felt that he urgently needed a technique to cultivate vision to improve his vision in the dark environment.

He kept climbing the cliffs, up and down, even above the immersive magma torrent, facing hundreds of degrees of high temperature, for a strange plant, he dared to go deep into it, and gained a lot of money.

Just as he was collecting a mushroom that could emit a faint blue luster again, by chance, he heard a low howl coming from the opposite cliff, he hurriedly climbed up the cliff, looked at the opposite side, and with the help of the faint light, he saw that out of the mountainside, there was a huge creature, fighting with an equally huge sunflower.

The two cliffs converge dozens of zhang, the knife and axe are as steep as the axe, impassable, Xi Wenming saw such a huge creature for the first time, so he couldn't resist his curiosity, he looked for a tough vine with the thickness of an arm, dealt with it simply, and threw it at a hanging rock on the opposite side, several times in a row, the vine finally got stuck in the crack of the rock, he pulled the vine with his hand and felt that he could bear the weight of his body, so he crossed the mountain stream along this vine.

Coming to the cliff on the opposite side, the distance was much closer, he lurked behind the rock, carefully looked at the two sides of the battle, and it turned out to be a nine-foot-sized rock boar, with bright red hair, hard skin, a sharp head and a thin tail, and eyes like red lights, fighting with a strange flower the size of a fence.

The flower was like a cage, growing close to the ground, but seven feet tall, and from the outside, it looked like a rock, but the flower occasionally cracked, revealing the red and bright petals inside, and there were even barbs breeding, and countless liquids flowed out of the calyx, splashing clouds of gray smoke on the ground, burning the rocks under their feet to black, looking hideous and disgusting.

At the foot of this strange plant, several strong black roots rose from the rock and dirt like long whips, entangled in the body of the rock pig, tearing its flesh apart, and even some of the roots pierced into the wounds of the rock pig, and then the black roots became red and shiny.

Several roots lit up at the same time, looking weird and beautiful in the dark underground space, but Ji Wenming was frightened, because the rock pig wailed and struggled, and from time to time wrenched the roots of these sneak attacks, and then, some flesh and blood tissue would flow out of the broken roots, and the smell was fishy.

Ji Wenming found that this plant was constantly devouring the flesh and blood of the rock pig in this way, so he shuddered, he didn't expect that there were such fierce plants in the underground world, and they could even prey on demon beasts.

Survival of the fittest, Ji Wenming was reluctant to intervene in the battle between the two monsters, and watched the rock boar exhausted, and was finally wrapped in countless tree roots, and then the flesh and blood tissue was sucked in large quantities, and after a while, only the white bones fell off the cliff and fell into the magma.

He was secretly vigilant in his heart, and he must not be careless to survive in a strange environment, because there are countless strange and powerful things waiting for him, and the rock pig is a precedent, and the slightest carelessness will be the end of a person's soul.

Seeing that this plant had devoured the rock pig, Xi Wenming was about to get up and bypass this dangerous situation, when he suddenly heard a trembling sound from the top of the cliff, and then, dozens of black shadows climbed down, slowly approaching more than ten zhang away, and Ji Wenming saw clearly that these black shadows turned out to be humanoid creatures.

The creatures were less than three feet tall, with rough green skin and many wrinkles, and their huge heads had no eyes, only a nose and a mouth full of sharp teeth, and they were all fours, and in their hands they held white spears made of animal bones, and they obviously had some combat power.

The creatures stood still on the slope, whispering as the strange plant devoured the boar, then the roots gathered and hid in the ground, and the entire flower closed to look like a normal rock.

Then, at the shouts of a somewhat taller creature, more than a dozen creatures simultaneously threw their spears at the plant.

These creatures are skillful in hunting methods, more than ten zhang distance, the spear is not in vain, all of them stabbed the huge rock-like plant, the spear is sharp, making an aggressive sound through the body, the plant is attacked, the roots suddenly open, like a huge net covering the surrounding several zhang square, under the pounce will pull out the cracks in the rock, but unfortunately the hunter is very familiar with its attack, and has never entered its range at all.

The main petals of the plant were shot through dozens of holes, and countless juices in the body flowed like blood, flowing to the ground, burning blackened in patches.

It struggled for a moment, the petals shook and hissed, and then several petals froze to the ground, revealing the crimson glowing main body of its body, and dozens of roots were like dead snakes, standing on the ground.

The green-skinned creature at the head let out a loud shout, and behind him stepped out two hunters and slowly approached the plant, took out a dagger a foot-long dagger from his bosom to peel off the plant's petals, and then split its flesh into pieces, and the corrosive liquid in the flowers could not penetrate the skin of the green-skinned creature, allowing them to dissect their corpses.

The green-skinned creatures wrapped the plant's body apart and carried it behind their backs, bursting cheers from their mouths before leaving in groups.

I didn't expect such a fierce battle to take place in this kind of underground abyss, Xi Wenming was curious about these hunters, so he sneaked behind them, these creatures obviously have a racial nature, and organized hunting operations may be underground intelligent creatures, if they can communicate with them, maybe they can find a way out of the underground.
