Although all they could see were weeds as tall as a person, they all noticed the unusual quietness of the place and stopped to observe their surroundings carefully.
Without the sound of footsteps, the surroundings were eerily quiet, as if entering a land of death. Apart from the breathing of the people around him, no other sound could be heard.
A breeze blew by, and the faint stench in the air became gradually clearer, and then became stronger, making people feel dizzy.
Realizing that the smell was poisonous, several people immediately put on gas masks and activated their supernatural powers to flow throughout their bodies, and the dizziness disappeared.
Shortly after the stench arrived, several sounds like whips being swung in the air were heard. Looking in the direction of the sound, five red "whips" two fingers thick emerged from the grass and attacked the people.
Shen Yanqing quickly gathered his special powers and sent out several wind blades to meet the attack. After being cut off, those "whips" quickly retracted into the grass.
Chu Han walked forward, picked up one and examined it carefully, and found that he did not recognize this plant. He took the thing back to show the others. The three people except Qi Yanxuan shook their heads, indicating that they had never seen it before. The four of them looked at Qi Yanxuan.
"This is the pistil of the Piranha Plant. Once prey approaches, the pistil will extend and bind the prey, dragging it into the plant's mouth. The plant will then retract its petals and suffocate the prey alive inside, slowly digesting it."
After listening to Qi Yanxuan's explanation, Shen Wenxuan's eyes rolled around, and then he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "If we tame it and bring it back to plant around the city, can it help us defend the city?"
The other three were delighted after hearing this, and felt that what Shen Wenxuan said made sense. They had seen Qi Yanxuan's obedient and extremely powerful vine. If these carnivorous plants could also be tamed, the city would have an extra layer of protection.
But whether it will work or not still depends on Qi Yanxuan, after all, they don’t know how to do it.
Seeing the eagerness in the four people's eyes, Qi Yanxuan shook his head.
"I just checked. These Piranhas are just ordinary mutant plants. They don't have crystal cores or intelligence. They only instinctively prey on living things that come close to them. They can't be tamed."
"Oh, what a shame... Why aren't there any plants as smart as Yan Xuan's vine?"
When Shen Wenxuan heard this answer, the excitement in his eyes instantly died out. He thought he had found a great treasure, but it turned out to be a false alarm.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Qi Yanxuan spoke to comfort him: "It will happen. This is just the beginning. If such a strong mutant plant appeared at the beginning, it would not be a good thing for humans. The creatures in the future will become stronger and stronger."
Shen Wenxuan thought it made sense. If there were creatures as strong as the blood-sucking vine from the beginning, it would definitely not be a good thing for humans. After figuring it out, the unhappiness in his heart was instantly swept away.
The few people were not surprised to see his mood change so quickly. They were used to it. Children are like that, and their emotions come and go quickly.
At the moment when the two were talking, many flower stamens jumped out of the grass and attacked them.
After Shen Yanqing cut off the stamens, he swung out several huge wind blades.
The wind blade quickly passed through the ground in front, and the entire patch of weeds fell to the ground in an instant. Then the wind was controlled to blow the weeds away, revealing the carnivorous plant hidden in the grass.
At this time, the carnivorous plant had been cut off at the root, but it grew close to the ground, so it still maintained its original appearance.
I saw that the entire area in front of me was covered with huge flowers with a diameter of about ten feet. The five petals of the flowers growing close to the ground were large and thick, covered with dense yellow particles, and bones of various shapes could be seen in the mouth of the flower.
The pistil that was used to attack living things now hung limply on the petals, twitching occasionally.
It seems that this flower will lose its attack power as long as its roots are cut off, and even if it mutates, it has not escaped the characteristics of ordinary plants.
Now we know what it is, and it is useless. In order to prevent these flowers from taking root and surviving, Shen Yan used his Qingfeng ability.
The carnivorous plant on the ground was blown into the air by the wind, and then shattered and fell by countless wind blades, turning into new nutrients for the soil.
The few of them continued to move forward, and along the way they encountered many prey that they had seen before, which were undoubtedly enlarged versions of the animals.
With the attitude of accepting everything that comes, I reaped a lot of rewards.
Qi Yanxuan collected all the animals into the space and placed them on an open space.
To prevent the animals from running around, he created tall fences out of thick, thorny vines that grew all around, and kept them all within them.
These vines are thicker than the tree trunks, and the densely packed thorns on them are like steel nails, extremely hard.
At first, these animals would charge violently, but after being pricked by the hard thorns and bleeding, they dared not charge anymore and lay quietly on the ground, curled up and licking their wounds.
On the way, they met Nangong Xiaoze's team. There was no friction between the two teams. They nodded to each other as a greeting, and then went in different directions.
When they met this time, Nangong Xiaoze looked obviously more haggard, with fatigue evident in his eyes and brows.
Qi Yanxuan would occasionally go out of the city to check the situation, so he naturally knew what was going on.
Although I didn't pay special attention to their situation, I probably knew about it.
Unlike Yan'an City, which was located on the top of a mountain, the floods did not have much impact on them.
The city where Nangong Xiaoze lived was right next to the Huai River. When the flood rushed into the city, heavy rain was still falling continuously. A small number of people trapped in the city died due to food shortage.
Afterwards, they moved to the new city on the top of the mountain in a heavy rain. The vision was blurred and many people died after rolling down the mountain.
The crops they planted were washed away by the flood because they were in a low-lying area, and they could not harvest anything.
Nangong Xiaoze was also very troubled during this period. After all, he had so many people under him, and his space could not produce food like Qi Yanxuan's. He couldn't just sit back and enjoy all the food.
He was worrying about food, but fortunately the flood had finally receded. He immediately brought people out to investigate the situation and look for food at the same time.
Although the mountains are now a hundred times more dangerous than before, food resources have also become very abundant.
Not long after separating from Nangong Xiaoze and the others, they discovered a fern field. The ferns were as tall as an adult's thigh and stretched as far as the eye could see.
Qi Yanxuan directly rolled the fern field, including the vegetables and the soil, into the space, intending to take it back to Yan'an City to plant it.
In this way, the people will have more food, and the crops will grow again if they are pinched.
Nangong Xiaoze also had a good harvest. He ate everything edible along the way, which made his complexion, which had been getting uglier and uglier in recent days, look much better.
The two separate teams searched the mountains and forests for seven days without interfering with each other, just like bandits entering the city, not letting go of anything useful.
