Chapter 32 Fan Grass and Whip Tree

Jiang Xuan chose smaller bamboo tube grasses, dug up a dozen of them, carefully wrapped them with green moss, and placed them in a hide bag.

The three continued on their way, looking for more carnivorous plants.

As we walked, a swamp appeared in front of us.

"Everyone, be careful. The swamp is very dangerous. If you fall into it accidentally, you will be in trouble."

Chishao walked in the front. When he saw something wrong with the ground, he would poke it with his spear. If water gushed out, it meant there was a swamp underneath.

The most dangerous part of the swamp is the lush grass.

They often cover up the swamps underneath, and when people step on them, they will sink directly into them. If they cannot get rid of the swamp and climb out in time, they will sink deeper and deeper and eventually become part of the swamp.

"Although swamps are the most dangerous, many of the plants that eat insects grow near swamps because there are enough mosquitoes here."

“Bang!”

Chishao slapped to death a large mosquito that wanted to suck blood, and continued to search around.

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

Many mosquitoes came over and circled around the three people, trying to take the opportunity to suck their blood, which was very annoying.

"Sister, is there any way to stop these mosquitoes from biting us? It's so annoying."

Jiang Xuan kept waving his hands, but the mosquito was very agile and could not be driven away at all.

"Wait a minute, I'll look for it."

Chishao looked around and when she saw a clump of low plants, her eyes suddenly lit up.

This plant has a very unique look, and its leaves look like a bunch of open small fans, which is very cute.

She walked over carefully, plucked several handfuls of the plant's tender leaves with her bare hands, and then rubbed them continuously.

"This is called fan grass because its leaves look like fans. If you come across this kind of grass in the future, pluck its leaves, rub them to extract the water, and apply it on your body, and mosquitoes will not come near you."

After rubbing out the juice from the red peony root, he applied it directly to Jiang Xuan's face, arms, and legs. He continued to rub it, and then applied the juice of the fan grass on himself and the stone loach.

Jiang Xuan raised his arm and smelled it. The smell was a bit pungent, similar to that of stinky grass, but not quite the same as that of stinky grass. It was a quite strange smell.

“Hey, it really works!”

Soon, Jiang Xuan discovered that after a mosquito flew over here, it did not circle around people like before, but flew away quickly.

The stone eel also noticed this and had an equally excited expression on his face.

Chishao was very calm because she had used this thing before.

The tribesmen have lived in the primitive jungle since childhood. They are very familiar with the animals and plants in the jungle and can use them according to local conditions.

A tribe that does not understand the jungle cannot survive in the jungle.

After solving the problem of mosquito infestation, the three continued to search for plants that eat insects.

“Quack…”

In the swamp, there was a huge frog croaking like thunder, and all kinds of terrible water beasts shuttled through the water from time to time.

Above the swamp, on the sparse trees, various birds stood on the branches, staring at the water below, and occasionally quickly flew over the water, eating fish, mosquitoes, or small water animals.

“Hiss…”

A huge black-striped python swam through the water, startling many birds and beasts, which took cover.

This is a dangerous swamp. Not only are there man-eating swamps, but the animals and plants here are also very dangerous.

Jiang Xuan walked to the other side of the swamp and saw a red tree. It looked like a willow tree, but its trunk was covered with fist-sized fruits.

This fruit exudes a charming fragrance that makes people swallow their saliva involuntarily after smelling it.

"Be careful, don't go near that tree!"

When Chishao saw Jiang Xuan walking towards that direction, she immediately grabbed him.

“Is this tree dangerous?”

In fact, Jiang Xuan was always very alert and just wanted to observe closely.

"Of course it's dangerous. It's a whip tree. If you get close to it carelessly, its branches will whip you. Someone has been beaten to death by a whip tree before."

Chishao pointed at the ground under the whip tree and said, "See those bones? They are all prey killed by the whip tree."

Jiang Xuan looked over there intently, and indeed, he found a number of bones under the whip tree, but they were covered with moss, so they could not be seen unless one looked carefully.

Chishao picked up a dry branch as thick as his arm and said, "Look."

Chishao raised the dead branch like a spear and threw it towards the whip tree.

“Pah, pah, pah!”

“Crack, crack…”

When the dead branch touched the branch, all the branches of the whip tree moved, like millions of whips, breaking the dead branch into several pieces.

The whips made from branches could actually make explosive sounds, which showed how terrifying their power was.

“Amazing!”

Jiang Xuan looked at those terrible whips and expressed his sincere admiration. The attack power of these magical plants was no weaker than that of animals.

In fact, because they usually do not move, they are more difficult to guard against than animals when they suddenly attack.

Of course, they also have a fatal weakness, which is that they cannot move.

As long as people know it and carefully avoid its attack range, there will be no danger.

Chishao added: "Although the whip tree is scary, its fruit is a good thing. It is said that eating it can increase one's strength."

"Is it really that magical?"

Jiang Xuan found it incredible; it sounded like a myth.

"I have only heard of it, but I have never eaten it. This is because the whip tree is too powerful and ordinary warriors cannot pick its fruits."

Chishao felt very sorry about this, because the hunting team of the Deer Tribe was relatively weak, and in the past they would try to avoid the whip trees when they encountered them, and would not dare to get close to pick the fruits.

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment and said, "The most powerful thing about the Whip Tree is its branches. If there is a way to prevent its branches from hitting people, picking the fruit will not be impossible."

Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Now that I have encountered it, how can I be content without giving it a try?"

Shi Qiu was eager to try and asked, "Chief, is there anything I can do for you?"

"We need some really thick dead branches and vines."

"I'll go find it right away!"

There are a lot of dead branches scattered in the swamp, and vines are everywhere, which are easy to find.

The three of them collected a lot of dead branches and vines and piled them into a big pile.

Afterwards, Jiang Xuan selected dead branches of similar length, arranged them in a row like a raft, and then tied them up layer by layer with vines.

The raft made by Jiang Xuan was very wide and large, and was made of thick branches, so it looked very strong.

"Okay, this is a giant, solid shield."

Jiang Xuan made several grabbing rings with rattan under the giant shield. He asked Chishao and Shiqiu to hold the rings together, and then lifted up the entire large shield.

"Are you going to use this thing to block the attack of the whip tree?"

Chishao was very smart and immediately guessed Jiang Xuan's intention.

"That's right. The whips of the Whip Tree can't turn after all. As long as we hide under the shield, those whips can't hit us."

"Will this really work?" Chishao was still a little afraid of the whip tree. After all, he had been warned too many times when he was in the hunting team, and he had heard many terrible legends about this tree.

"We'll know if we try it. If it doesn't work, we can go back."

Encouraged by Jiang Xuan, the three of them held up huge shields and slowly walked towards the whip tree, feeling nervous and excited.
