Chapter 143 The Origin of “Devil Grass” (2)

Si Ye talked about his experience with the "devil grass." "This kind of grass usually only lives in dark and damp places. Most people rarely go there, so it's not very common. You see those sharp thorns on the vines? They're just like what they did just now, wrapping around their prey like a stick, and then making the animal unconscious, dying, and eventually becoming their food..."

In fact, this grass is not just uncommon, it can even be called rare.

Even someone like Si Ye, who left home at a very young age and wandered around, had hardly ever seen this kind of grass. It was only when he saw a picture in a witch doctor's book when he was very young that he learned the name "devil grass".

But he didn't know the hunting principle of this grass, so when Xia Tian was unconscious, he didn't think in this horrible direction at all.

But just now, he saw the plant that was almost exactly the same as the one in the witch doctor's picture album. Combined with the aggressiveness of the vine towards Xia Tian, ​​he confirmed his guess.

The plant in front of you must be the "devil's grass".

Because the place where it lives is dark and damp, and because of its special bloodthirsty nature, it is called a "demon".

Now, Si Ye was determined to take Xia Tian away from this place as quickly as possible, and away from the source of danger.

But Xia Tian didn't want to leave, and even moved closer to observe.

[Hahaha, this girl is really brave. If it were me, I would have run away a long time ago.]

[What's so good about this? I told you it's dangerous, why aren't you leaving yet? What's going to happen next?!]

[The above may be a bit of an overthinking, as plants won't attack people on their own initiative.]

Indeed, if you encounter this carnivorous plant in the wild, it is best to stay away from it if possible.

Because the juice of this plant is mostly poisonous, and some are even highly corrosive.

Although it is not fatal, you may not get anything good if you encounter it, so the best strategy is to stay away from it.

But it was obvious that this plant had value beyond its dangerousness, and Xia Tian felt that the risk was worth taking, so she decided to give it a try.

This area is actually not dark, it is just humid because it is a depression, and the abundant aquatic plants block the light, which gives it a living space.

However, there are not many areas that meet the requirements, so Xia Tian looked around but did not find other plants of the same kind. It can be seen that the growth conditions of this plant are indeed very harsh.

In order to understand the specific principles of hunting by this plant, she found a newly grown tender branch, cut off a small piece of tissue with a stone knife as a sample, held it in front of her eyes and began to observe it carefully.

Plants lose their life when they are out of the soil, so this plant will not move if you hold it in your hand.

But the juice is likely to be toxic, so Xia Tian just picked it up with a branch to avoid direct contact with the skin.

Observing from such a close distance, she really saw some clues.

The thorns and tips of the leaves on this vine are very special. They are hollow in the middle, and juice keeps oozing out, just like a needle.

It seems that this "devil's grass" wraps its vines around its prey, and then uses its needle-like thorns like a syringe to pierce the prey's skin, "injecting anesthesia" into the animal, causing the prey to become comatose or even die.

As for the situation she encountered, it was probably because she was cut by the leaves and the juice entered her body through the wound, causing her to fall into a coma.
