Chapter 70 Strange Smell
No villagers came to look for Qiao Yu and his friends throughout the entire day.
It's like they were forgotten.
Apart from not being able to approach Dr. Yu's residence, their movements were not restricted in any way.
However, as soon as they approached the village entrance, villagers would come out to stop them, telling them warmly and sincerely that the village was looking for medicine for them, and Dr. Yu had found it and would be back soon, and asked them to wait a little longer.
We waited like this until evening.
When the fog just started to rise, Qiao Yu went to tell the Lin family and Fang Lin and others not to go out under any circumstances.
Then he took Jiang Zhan, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen out for another walk.
The village was unusually quiet this time.
"Why is there no one here?" Cheng Sinian raised an eyebrow as he held Luo Zhenzhen in his arms. "It's okay if there's no one here, but why is there not even a sound?"
Jiang Zhan walked around and whispered to the three people, "There is no one left in the village except us."
Qiao Yu ignored the villagers for the time being, but moved his nose and sniffed around.
She had smelled a faint aroma of barbecue from the very beginning, a very faint smell that was barely noticeable.
"Do you smell any barbecue?"
Jiang Zhan nodded, "Yes."
"I smelled it too." Cheng Sinian nodded and said, "I thought it was just my imagination."
"There's still meat... Could there be some here too..." Luo Zhenzhen whispered softly in Cheng Sinian's ear. But just in case, she didn't dare say the rest of the sentence.
Qiao Yu frowned and thought, "No way? I've never heard of any treasures here in my previous life."
"Not quite."
Jiang Zhan just said that there is no one left in this village. Even if there is meat, who is roasting it?
"Be careful." Qiao Yu's expression became more cautious. "It should be a trap."
Since the end of the world, almost no one can eat meat, and the taste is indeed very attractive to ordinary people.
Qiao Yu thought that if there was no space, they might not be able to resist the temptation of this taste.
As Qiao Yu was thinking about this, she suddenly felt a burning sensation on the red mole on her palm and her internal organs. The feeling was exactly the same as the last time she was injured.
Qiao Yu's expression changed, "This taste is wrong..."
At the same time, Jiang Zhan's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately set up a mental barrier around the four people.
"Could this smell be coming from that plant?" Cheng Sinian's face turned a little ugly when he saw this.
Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen didn't feel anything yet, but when they saw Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu's big reactions, they knew that the taste might be different.
The smell was blocked outside the mental barrier, and Qiao Yu felt that the burning sensation in his body had eased a little, but it still felt a little strange.
"It should be." Qiao Yu nodded, took out the fruit water from the space, and handed it to the three people, "Drink some water to cleanse yourself. This smell should be the ability of that plant."
The four of them drank the fruit water and went straight to Dr. Yu's residence.
The circular area at this time was different from what Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu saw in the morning.
Except for the giant mutant tree, all the mutant plants around were lying limply on the ground, as if gaps had been deliberately left to welcome people in.
The four people did not go in, but just looked inside through the door.
In the middle of the circular area, there is a huge flowering grass plant.
The entire plant was about five or six meters tall, with long, lush green leaves that bent downward and hung in the air. Above the leaves were clusters of fifty or sixty large red flowers.
In the middle of those flowers were clusters of small red and white fruits, which were now falling down with a crackling sound.
The fruits are very soft, and when they fall to the ground, they look like small pieces of fat and thin meat from a distance.
Cheng Sinian was a little dumbfounded, "That can't be meat, right?"
"Probably not. These plants won't be so kind as to give you meat." Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow. "But I've never seen this kind of plant, let alone eaten it, so I can't be sure. How about you try it?"
"...Curiosity kills the cat." Cheng Sinian shrugged, "That's why I've never been very curious."
Qiao Yu chuckled and moved his wrist, "Since you don't want to eat 'meat', then you can only eat this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Yu condensed four ice blades in mid-air and shot them straight towards the giant flower in an encircling manner.
But before the ice blade hit the plant, the originally limp grass plants around it suddenly stood up, and four giant grass plants rushed over and directly blocked Qiao Yu's ice blade.
The ice blades did not penetrate their leaves, but soon froze on the leaves and then shattered into pieces.
"Ah!" Cheng Sinian saw that Qiao Yu's attack failed, and immediately threw a fireball in his hand, saying in a joking tone: "There are still guards here?"
Jiang Zhan and Luo Zhenzhen had already started fighting, but their special abilities were all blocked by the grass on the periphery.
Then, several grass plants suddenly entangled together in the air, forming a huge rope, which slashed down towards the four people.
The four of them quickly jumped up and left the spot.
Jiang Zhan divided his mental power into four parts, protecting the four people separately to ensure that they would not be disturbed by the strange fragrance of the plant.
Although doing so would consume his mental energy very quickly, there was no other way. He had just tried it and found that the smell could not only work through the sense of smell, but it would also be effective when it came into contact with the skin, but it was not as fast as the sense of smell.
The four of them quickly dispersed, each occupying a direction and surrounding the plant.
"Quick victory!"
Seeing that the grass plants began to quickly twist into four strands again, Qiao Yu first froze the roots of the plants in front of him, then swung out an ice blade. With a "click" sound, the plants that had not yet twisted into shape were directly cut off and fell softly to the ground again.
"Whoosh——", a burst of fire ignited, and the flames engulfed the grass plants.
Qiao Yu looked up and saw Cheng Sinian, not far away, shouting at her with a sly grin on his face, "Cut the grass at its roots!"
Qiao Yu curled his lips into a smile and didn't respond. While Jiang Zhan and Cheng Sinian were attracting firepower on the side, he tiptoed and quickly attacked the giant flower plant inside.
Wherever Qiao Yu passed, some grass leaves that wanted to block his way were all chopped into pieces by the invisible wind blades.
Luo Zhenzhen also took the opportunity to run inside. With lightning flashing under her feet, she rushed to Qiao Yu's side in a few steps and entered the circular area with Qiao Yu.
Seeing this, all the grass plants on the periphery gave up attacking Jiang Zhan and Cheng Sinian, and rushed towards Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen.
But halfway through, they were either torn apart by wind blades or engulfed by fireballs. The few leaves that reached Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen were all frozen by ice and shattered into shards.
Seeing that the surrounding grass plants could not withstand it, the giant flower plant suddenly stretched out its leaves and rushed towards Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen in the blink of an eye.
Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen dodged.
Qiao Yu rushed to the bottom of the giant flower plant, stretched out his hand and injected his supernatural power into it from the roots.
The clear ice quickly covered the plant from bottom to top, and Qiao Yu clearly noticed that the attack speed of the flower plant's leaves had slowed down a lot.
"Zhenzhen, kill the flowers!" Qiao Yu shouted at Luo Zhenzhen.
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhenzhen used her special ability to jump to the flower on the top of the plant in a few leaps. She grabbed the flower with her claws, and then two huge thunderbolts with lightning came down from the sky, instantly burning most of the flower.
Then Qiao Yu also jumped up on the ice blade, and the two of them released their supernatural powers at the remaining flowers.
The remaining small half of the flower was first completely sealed by the ice, and then turned into debris by lightning, and finally nothing was left.
The flower plant had lost its top flowers, and all its leaves were hanging down to the ground, shaking slightly, looking like they were twitching slightly.
Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen jumped down from the leaves.
As soon as they landed, they were grabbed by two men and kissed.
Cheng Sinian's tone was very proud: "My wife is awesome!"
Luo Zhenzhen blushed and stammered, "Yes, Sister Qiao is really amazing..."
Cheng Sinian said with a shameless look on his face, "Whatever, my wife is also amazing!"
Jiang Zhan stared at Cheng Sinian dimly: "My wife is the best!"
Qiao Yu: ...
Luo Zhenzhen: ...
What's the matter with this strange desire to win between the two of them?
