I glanced at him and said, "How do I know, but it looks a bit like a piranha flower in the tropical rainforest."
Jiao Ba whispered in my ear, "That flower is indeed raised by humans. Chang Shan is right about one thing.”
I was suddenly shocked and asked him with my eyes wide open, “Is it raised by humans? Who would grow such terrifying flowers on a desert island? Could it be...that wizened old man?”
If that row of weird flowers is really raised by that wizened old man, then this old man is simply too scary? , thinking about it carefully makes me feel a chill on my back. How can a normal person raise that thing? This old man is so perverted.
"I don't know about this. Maybe it was really raised by the old man, and that thing is not a piranha at all. It is much scarier than a piranha." Jiao Ba's face, He was gloomy and scary, a face I had rarely seen.
"Then what are these flowers?" I feel like we are going to get into big trouble again. This ghost island is full of dangers.
"Chang Shan is right. In fact, it is not a flower, it is a kind of grass. It is a very evil creature specially raised by some magicians in ancient times. It is called the soul-stirring grass. It uses human souls to Feeding is specially used to suck It eats human souls."
"Once a person is attacked by the soul-destroying grass, he will not die, but he will become a soulless body, just like a walking zombie." Jiao Ba said with a cold face. , almost said through gritted teeth.
After hearing this, I was a little dumbfounded. Not only was I shocked, but I was also filled with panic. Soul-destroying grass? How could there be such evil things in this world? If I hadn't known Jiao Ba, I might never have known in my life that such terrible creatures existed in this world.
"Old man, it's not that I doubt your words, how did you know it?" I still couldn't accept it. Although I wanted to admit what he said, I still had to ask the truth clearly.
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "When I first started my career, I knew a friend who raised this thing. I saw it with my own eyes, but what he raised was just ungrown Soul-removing Grass, which is not harmful to humans. It doesn’t serve any purpose, it’s just for beautifying the environment.”
I glared at him in disgust and said, “Get out of here, you fucking guy.” Are you kidding me? Can that damn thing beautify the environment? It’s disgusting to watch.”
Jiao Bayi put his hand on my shoulder and said, “You’re wrong, step brother, you’re not grown up.” The soul-destroying grass is even more beautiful than the poppy flower, extremely beautiful, but it only turns into this ghostly appearance after it grows up."
I told Jiao Ba. After filtering the words in my mind, I basically understood, "But where did this grass come from? It's not like that Cordyceps sinensis that grows around dead people, right?"
Jiao Ba shook his head and said, "Of course not. Corpse cordyceps and soul-destroying grass are two kinds of plants. One grows naturally next to corpses, and the other grows naturally next to corpses. Although it grows naturally, it needs people to feed it. The soul-destroying grass is a rare grass found in hundreds of years. It can only be found in deep mountains and old forests. It must cooperate with the ability of the mage. Anyone who feeds this soul-destroying grass , almost all of them died badly. My friend died unexpectedly in the end and was almost quartered.”
After hearing this, I felt cold all over and didn't dare to say a word for a long time. Jiao Ba patted my arm and said, "Brother Yi, this ghost island may hide things that neither you nor I can imagine. You must be more careful on the road and follow it." ”
< br>I nodded numbly, but suddenly remembered another key thing, "By the way, Lao Ba, I suddenly remembered that if the collective killings of the bearded men were killed, would it be related to the corpse scent that I had been poisoned with before? Does it have anything to do with separation? ”
Jiao Ba smiled and said, "You have so many questions on your mind. You are thinking in leaps and bounds. I am very responsible to tell you that I don't know. If it is really what you said, I can only wait until those two are caught." Only the man in black can solve this mystery."
I sighed and said nothing more. Now I don't care about other things. I just want to get rid of this curse on me. , now that I have done this, I have to turn this desert island upside down.
I have to find the person who set up the curse. No matter who he is, if it is really the wizened old man, I have to settle the score with him. This matter is no small matter.
"Brother Yi, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help you get rid of the curse." Jiao Ba saw my thoughts, but he didn't know that I was still worried about a more terrifying thing.
Jiao Ba just said that the entire desert island is now cursed. Does that mean that all of us may be cursed?
I don’t dare to think about it. I originally wanted to say these words to Jiao Ba, but after thinking about it, it’s better not to say it. If others find out, the consequences will be unimaginable. Just treat it as if it’s just me. never mind.
The farther you go in, the harder it becomes to walk. Walking on the bumpy jungle road is not only tiring for your feet, but also tiring for your heart. You don’t know where the end is. Almost no one talks along the way, and the atmosphere is a bit... It is dull, similar to the surrounding environment, very depressing and makes people feel irritable.
I shouted forward, "Who knows how far it is to get to the bottom of the mountain."
"Yeah, why is this road so far? The island doesn't look big, but walking on it is different." Jenny wiped the sweat from her forehead and said a little tiredly.
Mai Lao stopped at this time, turned around and said, "It should be almost here. Look, you can see the mountain peak from here, it must not be far away."
Li Xin pointed out and said , "We will reach the bottom of the mountain after passing through the jungle ahead."
I'm leaving He went over and looked forward. It was expected that there would still be a short distance to go. "Let's go through the jungle in front of us first." Even if we are not tired, I have never seen a worse place than this.”
Chang Shan said calmly, "This place is not tiring, but it is full of dangers. We have to be more careful along the way. Naturally, we are very tired when we walk."
Mr. Mai greeted everyone and said, "Okay. , just hold on, we’ll be there soon.”
The big guy cursed, got up and moved on. When we walked through the jungle and reached the jungle at the bottom of the mountain, I was dumbfounded again. No, it should be said that all of us were dumbfounded.
Everyone stared at this strange jungle area with wide eyes and a look of horror on their faces. This is not an ordinary jungle area. The entire jungle is full of grown-up soul-destroying grass, and other trees cannot be seen at all. Wow, these soul-destroying grasses are as far as the eye can see, so densely packed that people’s brains are numb.
“Oh my god, why are there all these weird flowers?” Mai Lao looked at the jungle in front of him, his face became very serious.
"It seems that if we want to get there, we have to go through here." Chang Shan said calmly next to him.
"Mr. Mai, we'd better go around, these flowers look too weird." Jenny's voice was a little weak.
"There's no way around it. If you want to go to the mountain, you have to pass through here. This is the only way." Chang Shan made a quick decision.
“Is there no other way to go?” Jenny still held on to imaginary hope.
Mr. Mai slowly shook his head and said, "It should be gone. This jungle is too big. We have to find a way to get through it. Everyone, be careful along the way. As long as you don't encounter these strange flowers, I will I guess it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
"Oops, we're in big trouble now. The whole jungle is full of soul-destroying grass. It's hard to get past it. Mr. Mai makes it easy. He'll know it after we get in." Jiao Ba whispered in my ear. Said the side.
"Then what can you do? We can't take such a big risk, right?" I looked carefully at the environment in front of me. There was almost no way to go. These soul-destroying grasses were too dense. They are all so close together that they barely give you any space to walk.
"Let me think about it, I don't have any solution at the moment." Jiao Ba also looked very depressed. This is indeed a problem.
At this time, Li Xin suddenly said, "Mr. Mai, are you sure you can pass through this jungle area safely?"
"This. You all have to see whether this is true. Here we are, this jungle area is not just any ordinary trees, they are all the strange flowers we encountered before. These flowers are very dangerous and aggressive to people. No one can guarantee absolute safety." Mai Lao looked at it. Li Xin said with a dull look.
Li Xin sneered and said, "Oh, if we are not sure, then we can't go in rashly. If something happens to such a large area, no one may survive."
Li Xin is right, nothing happens. You can do whatever you want, but if something happens, it will definitely be a big deal. If you become a mindless walking corpse, you might as well die.
"What do you think we should do?" Mai Lao asked Li Xin.
"I don't know. We can all think of ways to do it, but it's definitely not possible to go in so rashly. I don't want to die just like that." Li Xin usually rarely refutes Mr. Mai's words, but this time But she directly overturned Mai Lao's decision.
"Well, in that case, let's think of a foolproof plan. I also hope that each of us can pass safely." Mr. Mai looked at everyone and looked a little tired. It seems that he has been , and have always been very depressed.
The big man was the first to express his position and said, "I can't think of a way, so you guys should make the decision."
"I know you can't think of it, your head is full of mush, and no one can hope to ask you anything." Mantou He sarcastically said next to him.
"Hey, you damn fat man, what do you mean? Are you looking for a beating?" The big man was so angry that he went over and started to fight.
"It's not certain who will beat whom? What's the matter? Are you making gestures?" Mantou didn't show any weakness at all.
Mr. Mai stepped forward and pulled the buns back, yelling, "That's enough! How long has it been? You are still here engaging in infighting. You don't even want to live anymore, right? It's so big in front of you. There is no way to solve the problem. You two are already quarreling here. What's wrong? You want to fight?" Mr. Mai rarely gets angry. It seems that this time he is really angry, and his eyes are almost burning.
The big man hesitated and said, "He was the one who scolded me first."
Mantou also whispered, "Whoever scolded you, you are the one."
"Give it all to me. Shut up, if you want to fight, I will give you a chance. After passing through this jungle, you can fight however you want. Who I don't care who I beat to death, just be honest now." Mr. Mai yelled again and looked at them. As expected, the big man and the steamed bun didn't dare to say anything. They both lowered their heads and pretended to be dead. Mr. Mai always has an overwhelming domineering attitude, and it is difficult for anyone to contradict him
