Chapter 55 The locator is too busy laughing to be afraid of anything! ...
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow: "The blood-sucking vine is very intimidating to ordinary animals. Having it hidden nearby can prevent wild beasts from approaching."
The villagers, who were about to tell him to put the thing away, swallowed back the words that were on the tip of their tongues.
Li Tie's heart skipped a beat. "So, the reason we haven't encountered any wild animal attacks these past few days is because you made preparations in advance?"
A villager nearby said without hesitation, "Then wouldn't it be completely unnecessary to send someone to keep watch at night?"
Lu Xuan glanced at the person who spoke, "I've been pushing it to its birth, which has taken a toll. These past few days, I've just been thinking that everyone needs time to adapt since they've just entered the mountains. If we suddenly encounter a night attack, they'll be physically and mentally exhausted and in a bad state, which won't be conducive to adapting to their new life as quickly as possible."
Now that everyone has adapted to the new environment, the vampire vines naturally need to be taken back; people can't always rely on others for survival. "He's not their babysitter."
Li Tie deeply agreed: "That makes sense."
Lu Xuan has helped the village enough before the earthquake; they can't possibly rely on him all the time.
However, "this...immortal vine that the immortal gave you does look rather terrifying."
Lu Xuan remained noncommittal. He believed that a cat was a good cat as long as it could catch mice, regardless of whether it was black or white.
He defined his abilities from the beginning because he knew that the mutated vampire vine had a rather sinister appearance.
See, without his guidance, the village chief directly used the name 'Fairy Vine'.
Without divine intervention, the Bloodsucking Vine would almost certainly be mistaken for a demonic vine.
Having calmed down a bit, Lu Qing recalled the giant vine she had just seen, and suddenly, as if remembering something, touched the plant bracelet that Lu Xuan had put on her wrist. "Xuan, this bracelet..."
Lu Xuan said, "If you wear this, I can sense danger immediately."
The villagers looked at the inconspicuous bracelet on Lu Qing's hand in surprise, and for a moment they forgot their fear and their eyes turned to envy.
The first thing I noticed was how this differed from Lu Xuan following Lu Qing around to protect her at all times!
I wish they could have one too.
Live stream viewers: We want the same merchandise!
Wu Cheng, who had been silent for a moment, reminded him, "Alright, now that the child has been found, let's pack up and go back quickly. The smell of blood here is too strong, and it's too dangerous."
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening. "That's right, that's right, let's go, it'll really get dark soon if we don't leave now."
"Whoever has space, please help collect the wolf carcasses."
"Those wolves over there are just unconscious, not dead yet. Remember to kill them before you collect them."
The hunting team quickly got to work, and Lu Xuan gestured for Lu Chen and Xiong Dabao to expose their injuries. He then took out a first-aid kit and sprayed some wound spray on their wounds.
The spray works very well. It forms a thin film as soon as it is applied to the wound, which reduces inflammation and stops bleeding quickly. It is also gentle and non-irritating, and there is no pain at all.
As Su Ying watched her son's injuries being treated one by one, she thanked Lu Xuan while slapping Xiong Dabao's bottom and scolding him, "You brat, didn't I tell you to play quietly in the square? What would your father and I do if something happened to you?"
Today, Lu Xuan was lucky to have Lu Chen with Xiong Dabao, which allowed him to find the two children as quickly as possible. If only Xiong Dabao had gotten lost and encountered wild boars, it's unimaginable what a horrific scene they would have witnessed when they finally found the child.
Both Xiong Mao and Su Ying felt a chill run down their spines when they considered this possibility.
Xiong Dabao wasn't as brave as Lu Chen; he kept crying, "Mommy, waaaaah... I'm so scared, it hurts so much, waaaah..."
While everyone else was busy, Lu Xuan took a moment to glance at the comments section and, as expected, saw the comments being flooded with messages.
Many fans who followed the story later were so excited to finally witness the power of the Vampire Ivy that they couldn't contain themselves, constantly praising it while asking how to contract with the mutated plant.
The sound of gifts being smashed has never stopped since the vampire vine appeared.
The number of online viewers and followers also saw a small surge in less than 15 minutes.
Sure enough, the mutated vampire vine is the key to traffic generation.

On the way back, Lu Chen explained why they were leaving the square.
Actually, Xiong Da Bao felt it was boring to play alone, so he insisted on going into the forest to explore.
Lu Chen had managed to dissuade Xiong Dabao, but then a wild rabbit appeared outside the fence, reigniting Xiong Dabao's competitive spirit. He insisted on catching the rabbit, and Lu Chen, unable to stop him and worried about Xiong Dabao running out alone, had no choice but to follow.
As a result, he chased after wild rabbits all the way, and when he came to his senses, he couldn't find his way back. He also had the misfortune of encountering a pack of wolves along the way.
Fortunately, Lu Chen was quick-witted. Hearing the wolf howls coming close, he knew they couldn't outrun them. He immediately pulled Xiong Dabao up a tree, and when the wolves reached the base, he used a tranquilizer gun to shoot them, hitting five of them and reducing their burden.
Although reducing the number of children doesn't make much difference to the two little ones, at least Lu Chen's behavior was brave enough, much better than Xiong Da Bao who did nothing but cry and wet his pants.
Xiong Mao: Shameful!
Zhang Chengming patted Lu Chen on the shoulder and said, "You must have been terrified."
Lu Chen puffed out his little chest and grinned, "No way! I knew my brother would definitely find me!"
The villagers were still apprehensive about the existence of the blood-sucking vine, and had many questions they wanted to ask but dared not. They could only praise Lu Chen while asking another question that had been bothering them all the way.
"Speaking of which, how did Lu Xuan know the two children were here?"
Zhang Chengming thought of the strange board that Lu Xuan had examined before they set off, "Is it related to the previous board?"
Lu Xuan said, "I attached a locator to Chenchen. With the locator, no matter where he goes, his location can be displayed on the screen in my hand."
I got the locator from a blind box yesterday. Each locator comes with a display screen and three location stickers, which is just right for the three members of the Lu family.
Before leaving home today, he put three location stickers on the three people. The other two green dots displayed on the screen were Lu Qing and Lei Yan.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "There are such good things?"
Li Tie perked up, "Could we prepare one of those locators for every child in the village? That way, we won't have to worry about any more children getting lost. I happen to have some public supplies saved up that I can exchange for."
Lu Xuan, who had never refused any of the village chief's requests, shook his head and said, "It's not possible yet. Replacing the locator requires meeting certain conditions, which haven't been met yet, so we can't replace them in bulk."
The store doesn't have the purchase permission to unlock it. Right now, his only ways to get the locator are by opening blind boxes and hoping to get it from the daily discounts. Both methods are too luck-based. He can't possibly spend tens of thousands of points just to get the locator, can he?
Viewers, still recovering from the shock of the vampire vine's renewed power, reminded the streamer: "Don't worry, streamer. Sharing is almost enabled, right? Once sharing is available, you can buy the locator."
Upon seeing this comment, Lu Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he added, "It might be changed in a couple of days. I'll let you know then."
Li Tie was finally relieved after hearing this. "Alright, just tell me how much grain or meat you need for each locator!"
Thinking of the unconscious wolves, Li Jing asked, "How did Lu Chen manage to knock those wolves unconscious? I didn't see any arrows stuck in their bodies."
Lu Xuan said, "That's the effect of the tranquilizer gun, another weapon given to Chenchen by a deity. However, the tranquilizer gun is also temporarily unavailable for exchange."
The villagers were somewhat disappointed, but noticing that he was only talking about a temporary situation, they cheered up again.
For now, which means that one day they will have the opportunity to exchange for it!
Even without that terrifying giant vine, they will be able to deal with ferocious beasts just as easily as Lu Chen!

Before long, everyone returned to the square.
Those who stayed behind breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lu Chen and Xiong Dabao were safe and sound. The women surrounded the two children and talked to them for a long time. Only after the two children, especially Xiong Dabao, repeatedly assured them that they would not run around again, did they reluctantly let them go.
The others pressed them to tell if they had encountered any accidents on the way. The villagers, having already overcome their initial fear after the journey, all showed smug expressions and excitedly recounted the scene of the fairy vine displaying its divine power and instantly killing the wolf pack.
At the same time, several people with space took out the wolf carcass and threw it into the square as if to confirm their statement.
"Wow—!" The women and children left behind were all startled.
"So many wolves!"
"That's terrifying! Why didn't you tell me before you took it out!" one of the hot-tempered women couldn't help but yell angrily.
The hunting party members chuckled, "They're already dead, what are you still afraid of? Women are just timid."
"See the wounds on these wolves? Those were all caused by Lu Xuan's Immortal Vine. The Immortal Vine just whipped around and killed the whole pack of wolves."
The viewers in the live stream were amazed. They wondered who had been so frightened earlier that their face turned pale and their legs went weak, but now they were trembling as if they were the ones unleashing their power.
However... some fans, thinking about reposting the live stream recording to Weibo and bragging about themselves, couldn't help but cough. Of course, they could understand this desire to show off.
Li Tie clapped his hands to interrupt the chattering crowd, "Alright, it's getting late. Take out today's harvest, quickly process what needs to be distributed, and then prepare dinner."
He looked at the wolf carcasses and said to Lu Xuan, "These wolves were killed by you and Chenchen, so they belong to you two brothers—"
Lu Xuan waved his hand, "No need. We can just divide it among ourselves according to the previous rules, 30%."
Li Tie hesitated for a moment, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
Lu Xuan said, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. I stockpiled a lot of meat before the cataclysm. Wolf meat isn't exactly fresh, and I couldn't possibly eat all of it if I kept so much."
Li Tie thought for a moment and said, "After the wolf meat is all processed, I will give you all the intact pelts this year."
The wild boar hides weren't considered high-quality, so they weren't specifically categorized, but wolf hides, once properly tanned, have excellent warmth retention.
This time, Lu Xuan did not refuse.
When the others learned that they would also get a share of the wolf meat, they were so happy that they forgot all their fear.
Even though the vampire vines look scary, they've never attacked them. On the contrary, they can even get a share of the meat. They're too happy to be afraid of anything!
After the gathering and hunting teams took out the wild vegetables or game they had collected that day, everyone quickly got busy and lively.
