"Su Su, don't worry too much. Fortunately, the injury isn't deep, just some superficial wounds. It will be fine after a couple of days of rest."
I looked at the man-catching vines that had been cut down and were scattered all over the ground. The sap from the man-catching vines on Su Su's blade didn't even seem to have had time to turn black or change color.
This girl is really amazing; she managed to fight off so many man-catching vines all by herself.
It's only safe for now, and we don't know if those man-catching vines will retaliate. It's best to leave this area as soon as possible.
At this moment, Pat, who was patrolling in the air, still did not detect any abnormalities on the ground, just like Top.
There's no way around it; plants are natural masters of disguise. If they want, they can stay motionless in one place for months on end. Not even we, let alone Pat and his friends, can tell these carnivorous plants are camouflaged.
It's unclear whether those man-catching vines were terrified of being cut down by Susu, or if the previous flames had left them with severe psychological trauma.
Now the vines are only exploring us from behind and the sides, but they no longer have the same unstoppable momentum as before.
Since they've wisely stopped opposing us, and we don't want to cause any more trouble, leaving this place is the most important thing right now.
The closer it gets to nightfall, the greater the threat to us will be, and we will be in a very passive situation.
Right now, it's still a timid and hesitant man-catching vine, but who knows, after dark it might transform back into a demon and join forces with other plants to fight us.
The previous ease and comfort were gone; everyone was on high alert. Judging from the current situation, the deeper we ventured into this region, the higher the chance of discovering a major threat.
After walking for a while, the unsettling trees and vines finally disappeared. Some wild birds flew overhead, and their calls could be heard from time to time.
At this moment, everything seemed to have returned to normal, and what appeared before us was a patch of grass that wasn't very tall, only up to our knees.
Seeing these familiar plants, we felt much more relaxed. It seemed we had finally escaped that damned, eerie place.
It felt so good to be outside. Even the air seemed to have a faint fragrance. All the emotions that had been suppressed for so long were instantly released.
"Master, do we consider ourselves out of here now? Look, there are already birds around."
Looking at everything before her, Su Su had never felt that these otherwise ordinary plants looked so beautiful.
"Hmm... I think so. Judging from the current situation, the animals here have resumed their normal activities, so I should be able to get out."
I think so too right now. We've come this far, it's time to end this.
I continued walking forward, but none of us noticed a single detail.
That means the birds in the sky also have a problem!
This isn't to say that birds are monsters that will suddenly swoop down and attack us. It's just that they all share one unusual commonality in their behavior: none of them ever fly down to the ground while they're in the air.
All birds are the same; they just fly right past without stopping.
Because there were quite a few birds passing by, it actually created the illusion that there were many birds and animals here.
Although I hate to admit it, I have to say that I fell into a preconceived notion.
We subconsciously believe that areas without animals must be dangerous, but little do we know that these areas with animal boundaries are the most deceptively dangerous and deadly.
If we pay a little more attention, we will find that only birds pass by in a hurry, and there is not even a trace of a mouse on the ground.
Soon after, we discovered a place filled with beautiful little flowers.
This place is like a flower field, with flowers growing in the center of the leaves, in gear-shaped flower heads, small and beautiful.
I hadn't noticed it before, but now that I'm closer, I realize that these flowers have a rich and pleasant fragrance.
When we first came out, it wasn't that we noticed anything wrong; there was definitely a floral scent in the air. And the source of this fragrance was these beautiful little flowers.
Su Su, being a girl at heart, instinctively wanted to get closer to the flowers when she saw them emitting such a captivating fragrance.
At this moment, I became alert. It just didn't seem right that such a flower field would suddenly appear in the middle of nowhere.
"Stop! Su Su. Don't go over there yet, there seems to be something wrong with these flowers."
My instincts, honed from numerous brushes with death, told me that these seemingly unremarkable flowers were dangerous.
Upon hearing my shout, Su Su immediately stopped and turned to look at me, saying...
"Master, is there a problem with these flowers even though they're so small?"
“Yes, there’s a problem, and a big one. I’m feeling uneasy now. We’d better stay away from these flowers; they’re not as delicate as they seem.”
I asserted with absolute certainty that there was something wrong with these flowers.
Seeing how serious I was, Su Su didn't argue anymore and walked over to us.
Susu wasn't far from us, only about ten meters away. But Susu had only taken three steps when something strange happened!
Su Su, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, suddenly felt her heart racing and her nerves tightening, as if all the blood in her body had frozen and couldn't circulate properly.
At that moment, Su Su felt everything go black and she collapsed to the ground.
Before I could even shout, Dante had already run out, trying to take Susu away from that area.
Although Dante was fast, he didn't run more than a few steps before he ended up like Su Su, collapsing not far from her.
Just then, a thunderbolt flashed through my mind.
damn it!
Despite our utmost caution, we still fell for these flowers' trap. From the moment we stepped out, we had unknowingly fallen into this floral snare.
The faint floral fragrance that wafted over earlier seemed to have a magical power, giving those who inhaled it a pleasant feeling. At this time, the brain continuously released dopamine to numb the tense nerves.
It's like an addict taking drugs; once you take a hit, you become addicted to the feeling. The brain needs more dopamine release to achieve pleasure, and the nose becomes the primary organ guiding it.
Unconsciously drawn to the fragrance of flowers, we become as excited as hunting dogs smelling their prey. The closer we get to the source of the prey, the stronger the scent becomes, and the more intense the excitement our brains feel.
What we don't realize is that we are being manipulated by a highly efficient method.
Even if we later discovered something unusual, it was useless, because we had overlooked another characteristic of this flower fragrance: its toxicity!
The aroma is poisonous, and it works gradually. Initially, the small amount ingested won't immediately cause unconsciousness.
