Chapter 228 Happy Flower
Chu Qiao's eyes turned red. Seeing that it was too late, Chu Qiao looked at the stones beside the path. She bent down, picked up a stone and threw it out. The stone cut through the air and flew past like a bullet.
The man felt the attack from behind and suddenly dodged to the right, avoiding Chu Qiao's attack. The hand that was originally holding the dagger also tested its level and stabbed it into the ground.
The dagger sank deeply into the ground, and Xiao Diao had a chance to catch his breath. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he immediately turned his body and bit the man's arm. The man rolled on the ground and dodged.
Xiao Diao turned around and ran towards Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao hugged Xiao Diao's head and panted heavily: "You, don't be so impulsive next time."
Xiao Diao stood obediently beside Chu Qiao, raised his paw and pointed to the endless flower field in front of him.
Chu Qiao opened her eyes wide and looked at the flower field. She instantly understood why the fragrance of flowers wafted in the air every day, and why people would travel thousands of miles to this border area to plant roses.
[Master Chu, what kind of flower is this? ]
[Is this the source of your pain every night? ]
[No way, it looks so good.]
Like a person's smiling face.
【Did Xiao Diao make a mistake? 】
…
Chu Qiao said softly, "This flower field is planted with the terrifying Happy Flower. The flowers are about 10 centimeters in size, and only one blooms on each branch, and some have only three petals."
"This flower comes in many colors, red, white, yellow, purple, everything."
"It smells very sweet at first, very similar to the scent of roses, but if you look closely, you'll find a hint of menthol behind the fragrance, bringing a cool feeling that instantly enters the brain. It's addictive."
"In ancient times, this flower was called the Happy Flower because its three petals together resembled a smiling face."
The man thought Chu Qiao was mumbling to himself and sneered, "You know quite a lot, but another reason is that it was named the Happy Flower because its smell can make people hallucinate and feel ethereal."
Chu Qiao was worried that the man would see the drone, so he immediately closed the live broadcast room with his consciousness.
She said with a serious face, "This flower, when it blooms, has a fragrance that excites people and causes hallucinations. The fruit it bears is called the Happy Fruit, which is generally only used in some sedatives. However, some criminals use its fruit and sell it at a high price, making people dependent on it and using it to commit violence. If my guess is correct..."
Chu Qiao looked at the endless fields of poppies and sneered, "This place is located on the border, a no-man's land. You really know how to choose a place."
As soon as Chu Qiao finished speaking, the man rushed towards him with a knife: "It seems that the dead are the most reliable."
The sharp knife attacked Chu Qiao. Chu Qiao grabbed the man's wrist and pulled it forward. Xiao Diao bit the man's leg. Chu Qiao retreated backward. The man was pulled in two directions by Chu Qiao and lost his balance.
The man fell to the ground. Xiao Diao went over and picked up the dagger that the man dropped on the ground, then ran back to Chu Qiao.
"Good job, Xiao Diao." Chu Qiao took the dagger.
The man stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "You are so skilled, who are you and what is your purpose in coming here?"
Chu Qiao was cursing the system at the moment. Why did it make her survive naked? Although she had made a skirt to cover it up, but... it was empty. If she fought, wouldn't she be exposed?
Chu Qiao frowned. "I'm really here for adventure, I have no other purpose. I don't care what you plant here, nor do I want to care. But your flowers are affecting me. They make me feel weak and unable to continue my survival adventure."
The man looked at Chu Qiao with disdain, obviously not believing what Chu Qiao said.
Chu Qiao: "I see that you are not affected by the Happy Flower at all. If you just teach me how to do it, I will leave immediately. Besides, my expedition mission is about to end, and I will not tell anyone when I leave."
Chu Qiao said as he pinched Xiao Diao's paw. Xiao Diao immediately let out a howl and yelled at the man, putting pressure on him.
Although the man is big and strong, he is a wolf after all, and it is difficult for people to resist the pressure of a wolf.
The man took out a pill from his dirty coat pocket and threw it to Chu Qiao: "Take this, and you can hold on for 5 days. I'll only give you 5 days. After 5 days, if you still don't leave, don't blame me for being merciless."
Chu Qiao took the pill with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Don't worry."
A wolf and a man walked down the mountain. Chu Qiao frowned, and the expression on his face flickered.
This man, guarding such a large field of happy flowers, would never let her go so easily.
Chu Qiao and the man each had their own thoughts, but on the surface, they reached an agreement.
…
Chu Qiao quickened his pace and returned to the camp.
As soon as she relaxed, she realized that her hands and feet were covered with scars, and her legs were a little swollen from the sudden burst of running.
"Xiao Diao, go find food in the jungle by yourself. Don't worry about me. Come back before dark."
Xiao Diao needs to eat meat, but Chu Qiao’s physical strength has been severely depleted. What’s worse is that it is getting dark. Chu Qiao knows that the torture is about to begin.
Netizens in the live broadcast room kept waiting in front of the black screen, worried about Chu Qiao's safety.
Feng Ge was the first to lose control and sent a private message to Chu Qiao: "Are you okay?"
Chu Qiao said weakly: "It's okay for now. I'll open the live broadcast room now to let everyone know that I'm safe."
The drone took off, and Chu Qiao's pale expression immediately appeared on the screen.
[Master Chu, you look so ugly.]
[How's that person from before? ]
[Are those flowers really happy flowers? ]
[Hey, Xiao Diao, I hope nothing happens to him.]
…
Everyone's questions rushed to Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao gathered his thoughts and said concisely, "Xiao Diao is fine. He went to find food. There are indeed happy flowers on the mountain. I guess the man I just saw is just a gardener. Who this garden belongs to is unknown for the time being."
"My current situation is not suitable for a conflict with you. I will find an opportunity."
As Chu Qiao spoke, he made himself some lotus root powder and ate a few bites with some dried fish.
In the afternoon, Xiao Diao turned a hare around and ran back, but half of the hare's body had disappeared.
Chu Qiao cheered up, peeled off half the rabbit's skin, stuck the rabbit directly on the tree trunk to roast it, and brewed some lotus leaf tea.
The man and the wolf had eaten and drunk their fill, and the sun was gradually setting, turning the western sky blood red.
Chu Qiao climbed up the tree house and spoke to the drone, "After several days of smelling the scent of sunflowers, I've become mildly addicted, and my nerve center has been slightly damaged."
"Tonight, I will still have a difficult night. The most critical moment is tomorrow morning. I must plug my nose before the smell comes, so as not to waste all my efforts to get through the attack at night and smell the smell again in the morning."
