Chapter 217: Lure the enemy deep into your territory



"That flower is coming." Wen Qi sighed, put on his shoes carefully, and looked out the window. In just a moment, the whole woodshed was covered with flower vines.

Wen Qi couldn't help but click his tongue twice, and before speaking, he covered the flowers on the windowsill with a barrier, "What on earth are these three people thinking? Why do I feel like this flower is here to eat them completely?"

Liu Ran yawned. "What else can you think of? Think about how to get more money from us."

Qing Yi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "More than that, I just heard a little bit."

Wen Qi and Liu Ran both looked over with curiosity, the same desire for knowledge flashing in their big eyes.

Qing Yi couldn't help laughing and whispered, "Not long after you fell asleep, they came over and gathered at the window to discuss..." She looked a little strange, and paused before saying, "How can they kidnap you? They said you look like rich girls, and your family will definitely pay a lot of money to redeem you."

Wen Qi and Liu Ran looked at each other, both speechless. The former said, "See? This is the scary thing about Jiulouyu. If you read more books, you won't say such self-righteous words." What era is it now, and you are still learning to kidnap people for money.

"How do they plan?" Liu Ran asked curiously.

Qing Yi's expression became even more strange, "Prepare to give me the medicine."

Liu Ran: "...Forget it, ignorance is not a crime." People don't know that she is a Gu Master who is immune to all poisons. Giving her drugs is indeed the most convenient way.

"Let's go." Wen Qi reminded, "Hua Teng has already gone into the woodshed." She glanced at Tan Yingying who was sleeping soundly on the kang, thought for a moment and let the little ghost out, "You and Qingyi stay here and protect our important client."

The kid puffed out his chest, "No problem!"

Wen Qi and Liu Ran put on windbreakers, deerskin gloves and knitted fleece hats that covered their faces, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed, and sneaked out of the room like two robbers.

There is no way, it is really cold in the mountains, especially at night. When the wind blows, it feels like entering an ice cellar.

The flower vine sensed someone approaching and slowed down its movements a little, but did not stop. It rolled up the three members of the Tan family little by little.

Wen Qi and Liu Ran pretended not to see it and imitated Hua Teng and slowly moved towards the door of the woodshed.

Then, without waiting for Hua Teng to react, he grabbed it.

Hua Teng was startled and tried to shrink back, but he pulled it back so hard that Wen Qi staggered.

Wen Qi's eyes showed surprise, "You're quite strong." As she said that, she took a firm horse stance, wrapped the flower vine around her arm twice, and pulled it hard, causing the vine to creak.

Wen Qi's eyebrows jumped, and she discovered a fatal problem - the vines of plants can be abandoned at any time. It is almost impossible to pull out the flower through a vine. Unless she grabbed the main vine, but looking at the thickness of the vine in her hand, she knew that this was definitely not the main vine.

Sighing, Wen Qi said, "What a wrong decision." But she didn't give up. After exerting force with her hand again, she suddenly relaxed a little and pretended that her hand slipped.

At the same time, she looked at Liu Ran, who nodded and flicked his finger, and an ordinary little black insect landed on the rapidly retracting vine.

Seeing this, Wen Qi let go completely.

The vines ran very fast and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye. The rustling sound became farther and farther away, and soon it could no longer be heard at all.

The two of them were not in a hurry to chase after them. They first went to the woodshed to take a look at the three people from the Tan family.

All three of them had tiny spots on their bodies caused by the thorns. One was bright red with a barely detectable black tint, indicating that they had been poisoned.

Liu Ran checked it and said, "Don't worry about the paralytic toxin. It will be metabolized after a good night's sleep." She stood up and covered the three people with the quilt next to her. "Let's go into the mountains."

Wen Qi shuddered slightly and muttered unhappily, "I really don't want to go into the mountains."

Liu Ran took out the mother Gu and frowned, saying, "It has already walked quite far. The flower vine is so long, so the main body should be quite large. Don't take it lightly."

Wen Qi nodded in response.

Liu Ran swallowed a golden beetle, and with her foot exerting force, the ground suddenly exploded in all directions like a spider web. The next second, she was ejected and rushed towards the forest.

Wen Qi sighed, and followed like a ghost.

As the two entered the mountain, everyone in the village opened their eyes and sat up at the same time, with an orange rose with a faint glow reflected in their eyes.

Tan Yingying also sat up, but the orange rose in her eyes was not so easy to take shape, as if there was a force fighting against it.

Every time a rose is about to take shape, it will be broken up, then gathered together again, and broken up again, and so on.

Tan Yingying's consciousness also became blurred and clear at times. Soon she fainted with her eyes rolling back.

Seeing this, the tense little ghost relaxed a little.

Qingyi went over to check and hooked a rope from Tan Yingying's collar. The amulet on the rope emitted a faint but continuous light. The invisible force had been protecting Tan Yingying.

"It's the master's amulet."

At this moment, the wild rose in the potted plant on the windowsill suddenly sprouted silently, and the sharp branches pierced the back of Qingyi and Xiaogui respectively, but suddenly broke when they were three meters away from Xiaogui, as if they had hit a transparent wall.

The little ghost turned around and snorted with disdain. As long as he was thinking of repelling anything that posed a threat to them, nothing could successfully launch a sneak attack on them.

The little ghost immediately raised his head and chest, his face full of pride.

The potted flower vines didn't seem to be very intelligent, and were still circling around them looking for a breakthrough, as if they would not stop until they were killed.

The little ghost started playing with it with great interest. He first removed the barrier, and when the flower vine approached tentatively, he suddenly released the barrier, which bounced the flower vine away.

Repeat this process and never get tired of it.

Qingyi looked for a while, then looked up and saw a layer of faces outside the window, densely packed, with strange orange roses floating in their eyes.

Qingyi raised his hand and formed a seal, and an invisible barrier was deployed, isolating the strange mountain people outside the house. Anyway, their mission was to protect the customers, and other people were not within their consideration.

The little ghost looked up at Qingyi.

Qing Yi touched his face and said, "Just keep playing, it's okay."

The little ghost immediately broke into a big smile.

Hua Teng: ...Gan Lin's mother.

On the other side, Wen Qi followed Liu Ran straight into the mountains.

"Can its vines stretch so far?" Wen Qi expressed doubt. If that were true, wouldn't the entire mountain be under its control? How powerful would that be!

But the strength it just demonstrated was completely different.

Liu Ran's brows were furrowed tighter and tighter. "The worms are indeed heading this way, and they haven't stopped yet."

Wen Qi pondered, "Do you think it is likely that it will escape from the land?"

Liu Ran was stunned. She had never thought about this before. But if a thousand-year-old ginseng could run away after becoming a spirit, it shouldn't be surprising that a flower that claims to be an evil god would run away, right? She nodded solemnly, "It's very possible."

Wen Qi sighed, "That's a difficult problem. With such a large mountain, how long will it take us to catch up with it?" She asked Liu Ran, "What is the sensing range of your insect?"

Liu Ran shook her head and said, "I haven't tried it." After a pause, she told the truth, "It's my first time using it."

Wen Qi had a look on his face that said “stop messing around”.

Liu Ran said confidently, "I used to be a law-abiding citizen. I don't need to do such a thing as tracking."

Wen Qi had to believe it. She pondered and said, "Why don't we follow it slowly and try to see how far the maximum distance is? I guess it keeps running because we are following too closely. Why don't we relax for a while?"

Liu Ran nodded in agreement, "Okay, then follow me slowly."

The forest at night was as lively as it was during the day. As the two slowed down, they discovered many animals that only appeared at night, such as hedgehogs, bats, hares... and wolves.

There were really a lot of wolves on the mountain, and they hunted in groups. When they were running fast, the wolves couldn't catch them, but when they slowed down, the two of them actually became prey!

Seeing the green eyes around him, Wen Qi almost laughed. He immediately used his soul power to draw a ghost-summoning talisman in the air to see who could scare the other to death! The next second, a strong wind blew, and Wen Qi summoned a group of wolf ghosts, howling at the surrounding wolves. Soon, the wolves ran away with their tails between their legs.

Before Wen Qi could send away the ghosts of the wolf pack, Liu Ran pulled her to speed up again, "The sensitivity is getting weaker, hurry up." After running for about two or three minutes, when the sensitivity became a little stronger, the two began to track at a constant speed.

The evil god probably realized that the pursuit behind him had disappeared, and finally stopped.

Liu Ran's eyes lit up, "Stop, let's get closer slowly."

Wen Qi nodded quickly, moving very lightly, trying not to make any noise.

After walking so far through the mountains and forests following the flower vine, and it was night time, the two had already lost their way. However, it would be worth it if they could destroy the flower vine in one fell swoop.

I don’t know how long it took, but Liu Ran finally stopped, slowly squatted down, and pointed to the ground.

Wen Qi was right next to her, looking down, and saw the sesame-sized black bug resting on a dark green vine with thorns. The vine was about as thick as a child's wrist, extending deep into the cave.

The cave is about one meter high and slopes gently downward. It is pitch black inside and you can't see the end.

The two looked at each other and went in. Wen Qi led the way, and Liu Ran followed cautiously with a flashlight.

The cave was very deep and went all the way down. After walking for about ten minutes, the cave became higher, at least Wen Qi, who was about 1.7 meters tall, could stand up straight. The further he walked, the more spacious it became, and a fork in the road appeared.

Wen Qi and Liu Ran just followed the flower vines and didn't have to worry about not finding the real body of the orange rose.

About half an hour after entering the cave, the view suddenly opened up and I saw the interior of a rocky mountain. There was a small pond on the left side of the center, and next to the pond, there was a very large orange rose.

It is three meters tall, with a main vine as thick as a small tree, and the flowers are as big as an adult's head. They emit a faint light, like a small sun in the dark, with a kind of enchanting beauty.

Wen Qi smelled the fragrance of the orange rose as soon as she saw it. She felt dizzy and it was too late to hold her breath. This flower was more cunning than she thought. Its escape just now might be a bait to lure them deeper! Wen Qi glanced at Liu Ran, who frowned but looked clear. She felt relieved and fainted completely.
