Chapter 53: Obtain the Piranha Plant Fruit!
Lu Yuan was buried in the snow and didn't dare to agree.
In the end, the old wolf did not dare to enter the territory of the carnivorous plant. He howled for a while and then left.
"What an ungrateful bastard!" Lu Yuan was actually a little touched, but he cursed under his breath, picked up the shovel and continued digging the tunnel.
As a result, the next day, it came again, still standing on the high slope and howling like a wolf.
This time, it howled for the entire day.
On the third day, it came again.
Animals' emotions are simple and pure, and the old wolf really regards Lu Yuan as a very important person.
Now that Lu Yuan is missing, it is very anxious.
It was just an ordinary Pangu gray wolf. It had no ability to break in and could only howl on the high slope.
"If one day, I really die, and a wolf howls for me for a few days, it doesn't seem unacceptable..."
Lu Yuan sped up the work he was doing.
It was not until the seventh day that Lu Yuan finally dug to his destination.
The branches and leaves of the Piranha Plant blocked out the sun, and there was not much snow on the ground, so he had to be extra careful to avoid being discovered.
The tree is tall and thick, with dragon and snake-like patterns spreading on its trunk.
Occasionally, leaves would fall, and each leaf was like a piece of iron, so Lu Yuan specifically chose places where the fallen leaves were thick.
Soon, he felt a powerful aura, which was indeed much stronger than that of the salamander. No one could figure out why a plant could grow to such an extent.
But this is still just a small corner of Pangu Continent. The Meda Civilization is definitely not a powerful civilization, and the Piranha Plant cannot be the most powerful creature in Pangu Continent...
The water in this world is much deeper than you can imagine.
Lu Yuan slowly dug out the snow with a dagger and saw the heavy fruits, like sparkling gems under the moonlight.
The closest one was hanging high in the sky, at a height of about fifty meters.
[Strange fruits rich in life force generally take more than three hundred years to grow. The largest fruit may have taken nearly a thousand years to grow, accompanying the growth and extinction of the Meda civilization.]
[Countless creatures turned into dirt at the root of the Piranha Plant just to eat this bite. (Rare, natural wonder)]
[Usage: Direct consumption, may also have medicinal uses. ]
A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face. The key words "rare and natural wonders" showed that this adventure of his was worthwhile.
He calmed down, exhaled a few times through his mouth, warmed his fingers that were frozen like carrots, and placed them under his armpits to keep warm.
Over the past few months, he had practiced the use of darts.
The "no regression" effect brought by the "eternal body" is indeed amazing. When practicing darts, Lu Yuan mastered the muscle force techniques in just a few hours.
After just two days of training, he could almost hit the target every time within 50 meters!
However, there are always some differences between real combat and training.
He tried hard to recall the force-generating techniques he had learned at that time, and used the extraordinary fire to slowly warm up his body.
"It has to hit the target."
This excellent-level "Daedalus's Leather Knife", once thrown into some corners of the Piranha Plant and stuck on the tree trunk, means permanent loss.
Lu Yuan tied the bronze dagger with a thin rope.
He concentrated the spiritual energy of the extraordinary fire to his eyes and right fingers to a certain extent. After finding the target, he silently said in his heart: "Hit!"
With a sudden force from his fingers, the dagger shot out from the hole like lightning, heading straight for the sky! Lu Yuan clenched his teeth.
"Snap!" The dagger accurately hit the root of a branch, cutting a gap.
As if stimulated by something, the branch trembled, and a large amount of mucus and venom was secreted from the wound.
Lu Yuan pulled the rope gently, and the dagger fell from the sky and landed on the snow.
"Not bad, come again."
The reason why Lu Yuan chose to cut off a branch instead of cutting the fruit directly was because there were too many leaves around the fruit.
He was worried that the rope would get caught on the leaves and the dagger would never be recovered.
On the contrary, there are not many leaves at the base of the branches.
If you can cut off this big branch, it is equivalent to getting all the fruits at once!
There are so many of them, about forty or fifty of them!
"Swoosh!" The dagger was thrown accurately again and hit the root of the branch.
The branch trembled again.
Plants are not animals after all.
If an animal was harmed in this way, it would have jumped up in anger and looked for an enemy.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But for plants, there seems to be no stress mechanism to deal with this kind of wound, and they can't find where the enemy is...or in other words, this branch, like a hair, is just an insignificant existence.
After half a day's work, the root of the branch was pierced with numerous holes by the dagger.
These wounds formed a line, and the branches' load-bearing capacity dropped significantly, and began to shake.
The mucus secreted by the Piranha Plant is frozen hard at low temperatures, and its adhesive ability is greatly reduced.
Even if it recovered barely, Lu Yuan could use the dagger to destroy the mucus layer again.
Finally, after a precise throw, the branch's load-bearing capacity reached the critical point.
In addition, the accumulated snow has weight. As the snow on the leaves gradually thickened, there was a slight "crash" sound, and the entire branch broke. The branch and the thick snow fell heavily to the ground.
There was even a crystal clear fruit that fell in front of Lu Yuan.
“Hahaha, it worked!”
Lu Yuan's heart started beating wildly, but he didn't dare to let his guard down because the carnivorous plant was vibrating!
"Another space!"
This time the commotion was really big. Those pockets full of jagged spikes were opening up, and a large number of vines were trembling slightly.
The Piranha Plant is frantically searching for possible enemies nearby.
Lu Yuan first hid in the different space for six hours.
Even the "God" cannot discover the "different space" in the first place, and the Piranha Plant is also powerless to do anything about it.
Not finding any enemy, the Piranha Plant's rage stopped.
Then he lay in the underground cave for the whole day.
It was not until late at night the next day that Lu Yuan dug a tunnel again and collected the fruits scattered on the ground one by one.
Lu Yuan was so excited! These "rare" natural wonders, these fruits felt like hard crystals and were not easy to open.
The small one is as big as a pineapple, and the largest one is as big as a watermelon.
The fresh fragrance kept drilling into my nose, causing my saliva to secrete like crazy, and I couldn't wait to start eating.
A total of... 42! Lu Yuan didn't dare to mess around here, so he stuffed them all into the storage space.
He mustered up his courage, held his breath, and transferred a flower bud into the storage space.
Hallucinogenic pollen may come in handy in the future.
Just like that, after getting the fruits and flowers, all the goals were fulfilled! "It's time to eat!"
