Chapter 36: Vegetation in the Prison
The prison is actually one of the earliest buildings in Qingyi, but it has never been of great use, and in Qingyi's impression, it was only used to torture the ghost wolf king Hegel once. What does it have to do with demonic plants?
Arriving at the prison gate with questions, Qingyi understood what Jont was talking about "unusual signs". The gray-green moss in the depths of the dungeon actually spread from the steps to the front of the prison door, occupying a three-meter-square open space, like a dirty carpet; A few dark purple ferns with sheep's teeth swayed in the wind by the door, as if luring Qingyi in. You can smell the faint fragrance of the air, which is probably the spores of the demonic plant.
After entering, Qing Yi found that the demonic plants occupied more places than he imagined, and all the wall lamps made of soul fire were extinguished. The reason why you can see the prison without a wall lamp is that the ceiling and walls are made of translucent membranes that emit a glowing green light. The ground is all slippery with moss, and you must watch your feet; On the side of the wall are clusters of ferns that I have just seen, called moonshine grass, whose veins can also give off a little yellow; On the walls are creeper-like vines, which form light vesicles.
"Looks pretty good." Qingyi leaned over and touched a cluster of moonlight grass, which curled up like mimosas, and the light also dimmed.
Walking towards the dungeon again, Qingyi couldn't help but be stunned. The zombies on death row were paralyzed on the ground one by one, and the vines were deeply rooted in them, occasionally drumming up, obviously using the zombies as fertilizer to absorb nutrients. The zombies on death row are also placed in a strange position, forming a circle on the ground, with their heads facing a strange-looking plant on the ground. The reason why this plant is strange is that at the bottom of it is a semi-bare, fist-sized bulb with several fern-like leaves and a black flower bud, and the leaf stem has small thorns peculiar to Rosaceae, and the bulb is covered with moss and lichen. This thing combines the characteristics of several plants, and it is really impossible to say what class it belongs to, even if it can grow into a tree in the future, Qingyi will not be surprised.
"Wow, what is this?!" Xue Duo asked like a curious baby.
"How do I know?" Qingyi pouted.
"And you still don't eradicate it?"
"Why should I eradicate it? It doesn't make a lot of noise in my ears, and it doesn't bite out as 'Uncle Ben' or 'Uncle Ben', it's simply harmless to humans and animals. Qingyi means something.
Xue Duo was confused: "Host, are you talking about someone?" Why is this man so familiar? β¦β¦ Forget it, no matter what, I thought that for intelligent life, the unknown is terrible, so it should be eradicated. β
"Just like the massacre you otherworldly creatures have done to us?"
"No, that's different, that's an eradication based on the 'known'. Do you know that 'fire burns people' and make you less scared than you were before you didn't know it? No, maybe you'll be even more scared, right? β
Qingyi remembered what he had discussed with Robert beforeβ"What are the otherworldly creatures afraid of, that's why they launched the 'Doomsday Confrontation'"βand couldn't help but move in his heart, and smiled: "You really should be a philosopher, Xue Duo." But maybe it's an opportunity? In addition to 'danger' in the unknown, there are also 'opportunities', and there is value in gambling. β
Xue Duo sighed: "That's the same, I can't see that the host can come up with such a truth in your dead brain." β
Qingyi accompanied the smiling face, and was about to tentatively ask "Why are otherworldly creatures afraid of this world", when suddenly, there was a slight tremor on the ground. The zombies on death row trembled and were sucked into skin-wrapped skeletons, and then slowly dissipated. The ends of the vines stood up like cobras, swaying from side to side, pausing in the air for a few seconds before sinking back into the dirt; The strange plant that was the main body grew a lot, the bulb swelled to the size of a watermelon, and the skin was shiny. At the same time, Qingyi received a system prompt.
Bite!
System Prompt: In your territory, a magical magic plant is in the growth stage, I hope you can take care of it.
A progress bar hovers above the monster plant, displaying "0%". Qingyi thought about it for a while, and called a few skeleton soldiers in. As soon as they stepped into the dungeon, the skeletons were lifted by the snake-like vines, sucking down their ashes and moving the progress bar slightly.
After repeated experiments, Qingyi came to the conclusion that two skeletons can increase by 1%, and a zombie (or other necromantic creature) can increase by 1%, but ghosts cannot be absorbed; You can absorb up to five at a time, but zombies take twice as long to absorb as skeletons, and whatever they absorb, it will take more than a day to complete the progress bar. And the alchemy potion "Sweetheart Macchiato", which has always had a special effect on demonic plants, had no effect, which surprised Qingyi. Could it be that this strange plant only likes to eat meat?
But strangely enough, the Deathphase Spider is not absorbed. They move lightly through the plants, begin to form nets, and unlike in the past, they form funnel-shaped webs, and then they hide in the nets and do nothing. After a while, many small spiders crawled out of the webs and walked around, and it seemed that they had entered the breeding stage. This reproduction rate is several times faster than that of the previous Dead Phase Spider.
"Changed your habits? What's going on? Qingyi was puzzled and called Waltpole over.
Walterpole had just come out of the Colosseum, and he smelled of blood, and even his boots were stained with minced meat. As soon as he stepped on the moss, a few tender little vines stretched out of the moss, sucking the flesh and blood like a puppy licking people, so that when Qingyi saw him, he thought that he had just finished taking a bath, and his whole body was clean, not to mention, and he still had the aroma of honey locust.
"I'm not a breeder, so I'm not sure what will happen to the demonized plant, I have to wait for that beauty to come back before I can make a conclusion." Watpole Cullen crouched on the ground, carefully observing a shower of funnel cobwebs, and muttered, "But I can guarantee that the Deathphase Spider has changed." In order to survive better in the changing environment, animals often change their habits and even become another species, such as mammals that have evolved into whales and seals over time. Ah, speaking of which, I really want to raise a whale! I really want to raise dolphins! I want to see them top the ball, I want to smoke them to death! Boss, let me raise it! β
"Raise your big head!" Qingyi put on a straight face: "Where can I raise such a big thing for you, and it's still alive?" If you want to raise it, go to Snow City by yourself, no one will stop you! β
Walter Poyler said with a hippie smile: "Boss, it would be great if the sea of bones could become a real ocean!" β
Qingyi glared at him: "Do you want us to row a boat to get out?!" Okay, let's not talk about the impossible, let's hope the Deathphase Spider will turn into an interesting new species. Get back to work, don't look at me with that 'ask for a raise' look, and be careful of stuffing you here as fertilizer!" β
Before leaving the prison, Qingyi looked back and saw that the fluorescence emitted by the demonic plants in the dark was like small eyes, "looking" at him meaninglessly. Perhaps, the strange plant has intelligence and is quietly observing itself? Qingyi thought about it and couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly: How is it possible? Even high-level demonic plants like the World Tree and the Tree of Life are not intelligent, what kind of demonic plants can grow in this land? I'm thinking too much about it.
"Boss, what are you doing? Aren't you going to see Master Patra? β
Called by Walter Poyler, Qingyi came back to his senses and left. He arranged for many skeletons to line up into the prison to become nutrients for strange plants, and he was still in charge of the shopkeeper, so that he could live at ease.
And in the depths of the dungeon......
The strange plant agitated and made a jerky sound: "Ah......hhhh
βββββββββββ
(I've seen the comments of book friends.) For example, what is "I like the protagonist to be lonely all the time" and "I like the protagonist and don't accept players", but in the group, the unanimous opinion of book friends is to accept players, so, what should I do? οΌ
(Does Robert want to be resurrected?) οΌ
(Should the protagonist continue to kill?) οΌ
(Is it up to the book friends to decide?) Or me? οΌ
(In addition, the collection broke 700, and the red ticket broke 400, which is gratifying, gratifying)
