Chapter 239 The weird red mist flower
The Red Mist Flower that Xu Xin had seen before was a large, gorgeous flower about half the height of a human being. It would spray out red mist every once in a while.
This flower was smaller than the three he had seen before, only half a meter high, but its appearance was basically the same. Under his discernment ability, this red mist flower exuded a blue grade light.
But why is there a red mist flower here?
"Is this... the red mist flower?" Ji Chaoyang dismounted, walked to the flower, and looked at the flower carefully, "I saw it during the defense war. This kind of flower can release red mist. Xu Xin You should have seen it too.”
Xu Xin did not respond, but looked straight at the flower, her brows gradually frowning.
Li Wenxi's eyes widened and she covered her mouth, while Qi Xuefei took a deep breath.
"What's wrong with you?" Ji Chaoyang asked with some confusion.
The performance of these three people made him feel a little scared.
"Huh?" Coco also tilted her head in confusion, jumped off the wolf's back, looked at the flower, and plucked it twice with her little paws.
Li Wenxi pushed Xu Xin with her hand and said softly: "Isn't that position where we... buried the body?"
"It should be right, it's right here." Xu Xin nodded slowly.
"Where is the body buried?" Ji Chaoyang also frowned and looked back at the red mist flower, "You mean, this flower didn't originally exist, but it grew new where you buried the body?"
"That's right." Xu Xin got off the wolf, walked to the Red Mist Flower, lifted Coco, who was still playing with the flowers, onto his shoulder, and then took out the shovel.
A red mist flower grew on the place where they buried the corpse, which really made his hair stand on end.
And the most important thing is that this soil is just a piece of white soil. According to the previous introduction of Red Mist Flower, this kind of Red Mist Flower can only grow in soil above blue level.
It suddenly grew out of the white-grade soil, which made Xu Xin have to wonder if it was somehow related to the corpses of the survivors they buried.
He wanted to dig out these two pieces of soil to see if the bodies were still inside.
"...I really need to dig it out again...but have you seen this kind of flower before?" Li Wenxi also turned over and walked over to ask.
"Well, during the defense war, there were several flowers like this in one of the caves." Xu Xin explained as she swung the shovel and dug into the roots of the Red Mist Flower.
[Obtain Red Mist Flower Plant*1, Red Mist Flower Seed*1]
Sure enough, it was the Red Mist Flower, and he actually successfully dug out the Red Mist Flower and obtained the plant!
[Red Mist Flower Plant (Blue): A flower that can release red mist. It needs to be transplanted within 24 hours, otherwise it will wither. 】
Xu Xin held the half-meter-long flower and looked at the ground where it grew, thoughtfully.
"Hurry and dig out the bottom and take a look." Qi Xuefei stood behind him and reminded.
It had only been a few hours since they buried the body, and they were all a little nervous now, wondering what was happening to the body below.
Xu Xin waved the shovel and began to dig up the soil.
A high-end shovel digs out the soil very quickly, digging out the previously filled soil in just a few shovels.
"Eh?" Xu Xin felt like she had dug something hard.
He swept the soil in the pit with a shovel, and a white color suddenly appeared in the soil.
"This is..."
He continued to swing the shovel, and what was buried in the soil began to appear clearly.
Several people looked at the things in the soil.
"Hiss——"
"嘤!"
"Oh my God!"
"How could this happen..."
Xu Xin also looked at the pit. Although he had expected it, he still felt a little chilly down his spine.
Those white things are bones.
human bones. Moreover, it is a skull with the neck directly cut off.
Without saying a word, Xu Xin continued digging and dug out all the bones.
The bones are scattered, but it can be seen that these are human bones. The skull, hand bones and foot bones can still be distinguished.
The bones of one hand were broken, which was obviously the hand crushed by Xu Xin.
This is obviously the body of Ma Hongyu who died just a few hours ago!
It has only been a few hours, but a corpse with complete flesh and blood has already turned into a skeleton?
Everyone looked at the big, delicate red flower placed on the ground by Xu Xing.
Did this flower really grow by sucking the flesh and blood of survivors?
"Is this skeleton really that Ma Hongyu's?" Ji Chaoyang's voice brought the three people who were in chaos back to their senses.
Xu Xin looked around and nodded slowly: "Yes, judging from the characteristics on the bones, he is right."
"What is the principle of this?" Ji Chaoyang frowned, "After the survivor dies, he is buried in the soil, and a few hours later, a red mist flower grows?"
"I don't know..."
Xu Xin looked at the bones on the ground.
He was actually a little relieved inside.
What he was most worried about was that there were no corpses down here. If that were the case, it would be really creepy.
But since the bones are still there, it means that Ma Hongyu is indeed dead.
A dead man has nothing to fear.
"Red Mist Flower can only grow in blue-level soil, right?" Ji Chaoyang asked, "Is this soil blue-level? Can you tell that with your identification ability?"
"No." Xu Xin shook his head and said, "This soil is not only not blue grade, it is not even green grade. It is just a piece of white grade soil."
A red mist flower grew on the white soil. Although Xu Xin didn't want to admit it, the reason was already obvious.
Looking at the enchanting and beautiful flowers in his hands, he felt a little strange.
This is really a human blood flower.
"Do you want this flower?" Xu Xin shook the red mist flower in her hand and said to Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei.
Both he and Ji Chaoyang have encountered the Red Mist Flower. Ji Chaoyang must have also obtained the seeds of the Red Mist Flower, so he probably doesn't need such a thing.
"No, no! This is a dead man's flower!" Li Wenxi shook her head wildly. She didn't want to rely on the corpses of dead people as nutrients to grow large flowers, which was simply terrifying.
Qi Xuefei also shook her head, but her reason was different: "It can't be used as medicine, and it's useless if I take it."
"This kind of flower can release that kind of red mist. You should have encountered it near the cave before," Xu Xin explained. "That kind of red mist can enhance the strength of mutated beasts. Wen Xi, your Aniu should be in great need. .”
"This..." Li Wenxi's expression was very exciting, and then she shook her head, "You should keep it for yourself."
It's really good to be able to enhance A Niu's strength, but this flower really makes people feel a little bit creepy.
This is a big flower that grows by sucking the flesh and blood of survivors!
"I already have three." Xu Xin thought that the three red mist flowers that had not grown up when he left should have grown up and started to spray red mist now.
"Why don't you give it to me." Ji Chaoyang looked at the big flower in Xu Xin's hand, frowned and said in a deep voice, "It just so happens that I haven't planted the Red Mist Flower, so I'll take it back and study it. Give the seeds of the Red Mist Flower to Li Wenxi. .”
"That's fine." Xu Xin handed the flowers to Ji Chaoyang.
Ji Chaoyang didn't mind it and put the "Human Blood Flower" directly into his backpack.
Xu Xin handed the Red Mist Flower seed to Li Wenxi and told her how to use the Red Mist Flower to make a "sauna".
"I can't make a steel frame, so I can't build a house outside. Please help me when the time comes." Li Wenxi held the seeds and said to Xu Xin.
She can still accept the flowers planted, and she also wants A Niu to become stronger.
"Of course." Xu Xin naturally agreed. After the coordinates were made, he and Li Wenxi were like neighbors, and it didn't take much trouble.
He filled the soil back into the pit and took one final look at the flat land with a complicated expression.
Why does the Red Mist Flower grow on the flesh and blood of survivors?
Perhaps, this may involve secrets about the survivors themselves.
The dead survivors turned into flowers that released red mist, and the red mist released by the flowers strengthened the mutated creatures.
It's complicated and I can't understand it.
Shaking her head and no longer thinking about this, Xu Xin turned on the wolf and pulled Li Wenxi up.
There are too many mysterious things in this world, so let’s complete the itinerary decided for today first.
And the two people over there have already mounted their horses.
"The tree house to the south is Li Yajun's tree house. Let's go, King Silver." Xu Xin pointed to the green patch of land on the south side.
Silver King also let out a long roar and shuttled through the jungle, heading towards the tree house, followed closely by Ji Chaoyang on horseback.
"Xu Xin, what's going on with this flower? It's so scary." Li Wenxi still sat sideways in front of Xu Xin, leaning her head on his arms and holding him.
Coco huddled between the two of them, and the little guy became confused again.
"I don't know, but Ma Hongyu is indeed dead. There is no need to worry about this matter for the time being." Xu Xin also said this to himself, and he felt a little scared now.
"There are really many secrets in this world that we don't know..." Li Wenxi sighed.
Xu Xin slowed down slightly so that Ji Chaoyang's white horse could keep up with the Silver King in the forest of trees and walk side by side with him.
"What do you think about this flower?" Xu Xin asked.
"I don't have any special ideas," Ji Chaoyang rubbed his brows, "Either we survivors are special, or this land is special."
"If you want to kill someone next time, you can try it out." Li Wenxi suggested.
"Well, you can indeed give it a try, but don't kill people intentionally for this kind of thing. You still have to keep people if you can. The more manpower the better." Ji Chaoyang nodded.
Qi Xuefei, on the other hand, has been silent since getting on the horse. Although riding a horse is much better than riding a wolf, she is still a little uncomfortable. She is afraid that it will be more uncomfortable if she opens her mouth to speak.
Soon, several people approached Li Yajun's tree house.
Li Yajun was trying hard to observe the changes around her at this time, because this was what Xu Xin and the others asked her to do.
Ever since Xu Xin and Li Wenxi left, she had been observing the outside, but nothing unusual had been found.
But now, she suddenly saw a wolf and a horse galloping towards her in the distance, with several people sitting on them.
"Ah!" Li Yajun was delighted.
They're back!
And there are two more people, both of whom are explorer bosses!
Thank you to [I don’t like fish] for the reward of 1500 starting coins, [_xx00] for the reward of 1500 starting coins, and [book friend 161119134046974] for the reward of 100 starting coins. Thank you to the three of them for their support!
This chapter is so weirdly written... Although I already have an outline and ideas, it feels weird to write it out. I always feel that it is not written properly_(:з」∠)_
