Chapter 241 Man-Eating Tree?
The place where Huo Hai met the ice fire bird was the place where Huo Hai went deepest. But when Huo Hai continued to go deeper, he realized that he had only penetrated less than half the distance of Mijia Mountain.
Behind is the most dangerous place hidden in Mijia Mountain. The terrain of Mijia Mountain is very special, making Huo Hai somewhat unclear about the distance. In addition, the map in his hand was originally incomplete, which caused him to have no idea how deep he had gone. There are more and more spirit beasts around the realm of spirits, which also means that fewer and fewer people have been here.
Suddenly, Huo Hai frowned, and found a very strange place. Huo Hai's heart skipped a beat. Strange places often mean danger, but they also mean opportunities. If so, then go and have a look.
"Here, what exactly happened, how did it become like this." When Huo Hai came to this place, he couldn't help frowning. No wonder Star Gu will give himself strange hints. It's really weird here, even spooky.
The surroundings are quiet and there is not even a small bug. As a healer of insect magic, Huo Hai knows better than anyone whether there are bugs or not. The ground is full of fallen leaves and dust, forming an unusually rare open space in the forest.
There are very few trees on the open space, only a few. What Huo Hai didn't understand was that the situation here was too strange. Going deep to this extent, the interior of Mount Mijia can be said to be very rich in resources of spirit beasts. Wild beasts are everywhere, after all, wild beasts belong to the food of most spirit beasts. On the Tianling Continent, the reproductive ability of beasts is extremely terrifying.
But in this open space, not only are there no spirit beasts and wild animals, birds dare not land, and even small bugs are absent, which makes people feel strange. Huo Hai's heart moved, he secretly let the Star Gu fly over, and quietly started to investigate.
Everything is so normal. Wait, what is this, Huo Hai narrowed his eyes slightly. Through Star Gu, Huo Hai finally found out what was wrong. This place is nothing but underground.
This was discovered by Huo Hai when a star Gu used too much force and penetrated into the ground. Where is the fallen leaves underground, but a large piece of bones. All kinds of bones, those of wild beasts, spirit beasts, and even those that have just died and rotted.
"What kind of place is this? What kind of spirit beast would change his residence like this." Huo Hai felt a little strange. With so many bones, how many spirit beasts and beasts have to be killed to do it. You must know that the bones of generally dead spirit beasts and wild beasts will be damaged by various external forces, and eventually shattered into pieces and powder, which melt into the earth.
Only the lairs where some powerful spirit beasts lived, or the cemeteries of powerful spirit beasts, would there be places where such a large number of bones were stored. For the sake of safety, Huo Hai stepped back carefully for a certain distance, and then released the star Gu.
Everything around is in Huo Hai's eyes, and there is nothing to hide. Time passed by every minute and every second, and Huo Hai never noticed any surprises. Let alone powerful spirit beasts around, even spirit beasts are rare.
"What is this smell? It's so fragrant." Huo Hai suddenly smelled a fragrance after an unknown amount of time passed. This fragrance actually had a feeling of being intoxicated, suddenly Huo Hai's spirit was shaken, and he broke free from this fragrance.
Immediately, Huo Hai realized something was wrong, this fragrance actually had the effect of affecting the mind. Huo Hai's mental strength is so strong that it has been affected. Then, Huo Hai controlled his worms, connected his mental powers together, and influenced each other to prevent being controlled by this fragrance. As for Huo Hai himself, he looked around cautiously.
"Over there." Suddenly, Huo Hai looked towards the center of the open space, and the source of the fragrance was exactly this place. At this time, there was a strange and bare tree in the middle of the open space, on which there were originally a few very special things that looked like tumors.
Just now, one of them opened slowly, and what leaked out was a very coquettish and beautiful flower.
Just when Huo Hai was full of vigilance, suddenly, several beasts not far away slowly walked over. Seeing their dull eyes, Huo Hai knew that they must have been controlled by this fragrance. "Could it be that this is the man-eating tree in the legend." Huo Hai's eyes widened. He had heard of such a thing before, but had never seen it before.
After coming to Tianling Continent, Huo Hai had never heard of such a thing. I searched through the books I have read, and there is no similar record on it. The greatest possibility of this plant is that it mutated.
There are many things that vary in the world. These things that vary are just special cases, and naturally they will not be recorded in ordinary books.
When these beasts came nearby, the ground suddenly became active. In Huo Hai's shocked eyes, a few vines actually protruded from under the dust and fallen leaves. With a slight roll of the vines, all these beasts were involved.
Huo Hai even clearly saw some thorns protruding from the vines, and the thorns slowly pierced into the body of the beast. At this time, the beast didn't react at all. He watched helplessly that his whole body was covered with thorns. Then, the thorns began to absorb something from the beast's body. The beast's body began to shrivel up bit by bit.
When the beasts were completely turned into mummies, the vines rolled up the corpses of these beasts, put them under the fallen leaves, and buried them. This is the real reason why there are so many bones here. These are all killed by this big tree.
"What a dangerous big tree, I don't know if it will be useful." Huo Hai was a little worried, and stepped back a long distance again. Then he climbed up a tall tree and looked towards this side from above. But he didn't dare to approach at all.
At this time, Huo Hai discovered that after the fragrance diffused, those who were attracted by the fragrance would walk towards this side. Those who were not attracted by the scent turned around and ran away. It seems that these beasts and spirit beasts also know what is dangerous here. No wonder there are not many wild beasts and spirit beasts around, Huo Hai nodded clearly.
A few beasts obviously couldn't satisfy the weird big tree at this moment. The fragrance was still emitting, and some controlled wild beasts, even spirit beasts, slowly walked to this place and were killed in the same way.
After many observations, Huo Hai came to a conclusion. This weird big tree is absorbing blood from the body of the beast. The blood is absorbed by the big tree, and the corpse is turned into the nourishment of the big tree. It is really a strange way of survival.
But it cannot be said to be evil, this is the means of survival of this big tree. I just don't know what caused the big tree to mutate into this shape. And what is the use of such a big tree? I don't know how many years I have lived, I don't know how many big trees have killed spirit beasts and beasts, it can't be that simple if I think about it.
"If someone can kill this tree, the bones below will be a lot of wealth. It's a pity, who can transport it out..." Huo Hai's eyes lit up. If others can't, neither can he, but he can carry it. a lot of things.
Maybe there are very special items on those spirit beasts. These items may be used as source spirit treasures, and their value will be very high. Since I can't find the Binghuo Bird for the time being, I don't know where to find it. It's better to see what's under this big tree first. Thinking of this, Huo Hai suddenly laughed.
"Very good, there is no problem at all." Huo Hai felt it for a while, his bugs didn't seem to be affected at all, he made preparations at the beginning, but didn't use them at this time.
Especially Xiao Jin, who is even constantly devouring the toxins in the air to strengthen his own toxins. If it wasn't for Huo Hai's order, Xiao Jin would even rush over directly. The bugs refined by oneself are very resistant to toxins.
Forget it, it seems that only you will be affected by this toxin. Since it has no effect, no matter how much the tree can move, it is just a tree. Star Gu's teeth can easily bite even stones, let alone wood. Huo Hai smiled slightly. It seems that this tree can only contribute to himself.
At this moment, the fragrance in the air suddenly faded slowly. Huo Hai watched from a distance, the flowers on the big tree began to close up bit by bit. The flowers gather one by one, and the last thing to close is the outer bark.
When everything calmed down, the bare tree became exactly the same as before. If he hadn't seen the changes in the big tree with his own eyes, Huo Hai really wouldn't have known that such a tree was actually so dangerous.
At this time, Huo Hai was very happy. If it wasn't for the fact that it was wrong before, I would have stepped into it. Thinking about those vines that looked like pythons, Huo Hai was not sure if he could escape.
Even if there is no other danger, just this big bare tree, the fighting power has at least reached the realm of a spirit general. At least for humans and large spirit beasts. However, Huo Hai smiled coldly: "A big tree with such an obvious weakness, it would be too wasteful not to kill you." Counting the masters of the spirit general realm that he has killed, it seems that there are only two of them.
But no matter the white-patterned crystal snake or this big tree, they are all so weird. Huo Hai's heart moved, and the Star Gu began to quietly surround him from all directions. In addition to knowing these toxins, Huo Hai can poison bugs to death.
I don't know what other methods this big tree has to deal with bugs, so be careful and be careful.
Immediately after the Star Gu is Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin is very interested in the several wood tumors that emit toxins, and Xiao Jin is absolutely not afraid of toxins, so he dares to approach them. Both Yinzhu and Xiaodie were restrained by Huo Hai, preventing them from passing. These two bugs are not strong enough to protect themselves. If it is killed, the loss will be great.
