The fight before the vines had reached a fever pitch.
Lin Mengya grasped the medicinal powder in her hand tightly, her expression solemn.
To her, the ghost vine was a completely unknown and dangerous plant.
Therefore, she could only use her previous experience and the results of the system simulation to judge Kito's next move.
"Master, I found a plant similar to this in the Qingzheng Book! However, it does not say that these plants will devour each other when they bloom!"
Xiaoyao's voice came from the system.
Lin Mengya looked at the message from Xiao Yao.
"Jade roses are different from ordinary roses. They are often used to decorate tombs. They can survive in dark and bad environments. With sufficient nutrients, they can cover the entire coffin in a few days and form a coffin made of roses. Because The spikes contain highly toxic substances, and the pollen also has hallucinogenic properties, so it is often used by men as a way to guard their wives’ graves.”
Apart from the hallucinogenic properties of pollen and the fact that it can grow very quickly with sufficient nutrients, this damn thing has nothing in common with a rose, right
"Xiao Yao, are you sure these two things are plants of the same genus?"
Xiaoyao was silent for a moment, and then showed her two pictures.
"The one on the left is the restoration picture I made based on Jade Rose's records, and the one on the right is the picture of the ghost vine. You can compare it."
It's no better than not knowing.
Although the ghost vine is much thicker, both the leaves and the spikes are indeed somewhat similar to the restoration of the jade rose.
"Isn't it just a coincidence? Or maybe it's a mutation or something?"
Among the flowers, she likes roses the most. Her family knows that and has collected many varieties for her.
So she can guarantee that the ghost vine in front of her will definitely not be a jade rose!
There is no guarantee for small medicines.
"Indeed, the habits of ghost vines should be very different from those of jade roses. But master, the records can mention that in addition to guarding tombs, jade roses also have another function. It is said that if the nutrition of jade roses is sufficient, it can It can bear fruit.”
"What fruit?"
"The fruits of the jade rose are mostly grown in coffins. If you can get one and put it in the mouth of the deceased, it can keep the body from decaying for many years. There is also a legend that the fruit of the jade rose actually contains the soul of the deceased. .If a woman takes it and becomes pregnant, she is the reincarnation of the deceased."
Just as Xiaoyao was quickly transmitting information to her, the flowers fighting on the ghost vine began to make new movements.
In addition to the original flower, several other flowers with thick vines also survived.
Unexpectedly, they gradually stopped and stopped eating other flower buds.
The remaining flowers actually began to sway gently.
Those fang-like spikes quickly fell off, and then, petals as white as snow were revealed inside!
Lin Mengya was stunned.
Although she was far away, she could see clearly.
Those at the top are really roses!
"It seems that your guess is correct."
Whether they are mutants or close relatives, Ghost Vine and Jade Rose are indeed related.
But the next moment, she couldn't help but fall into thinking.
The jade rose can bear fruit, but what about the ghost vine
Also, should she take action now
Otherwise, if we wait until the ghost vine flowers fade, we still don’t know what will happen.
While she was struggling, the man in red and his men had arrived at the root system of the Bloody Flower.
It was in an underground secret room of the Sheng family.
A haggard, completely unrecognizable man was tied to the ground by countless vines.
He was kneeling with his legs, and the vines extending from his knees were deeply rooted in the ground.
His hands could never be put down because of the growth of the vines.
The whole person seemed to be firmly fixed by the vines, like a strange vase growing with the vines.
After hearing their footsteps, the man actually opened his eyes and looked at them.
"Tsk, it's really ugly."
The woman shook her head, her face full of disgust.
But then she gently stroked the vines of the Xue Yanhua as if stroking her lover.
"Master, I have never seen it look so happy! It seems that your choice was right. This flower needs sufficient fertilizer to grow fast. What's the point of just competing with the sacred tree? ?Anyway, the sacred tree is already half-dead."
The man in red looked at Elder Sheng.
Although he didn't answer the woman's words, he obviously thought so.
He reached out and gently touched the vines. The next moment, he bent his fingers and inserted them fiercely into the vines.
The thick vine suddenly trembled, and then seemed to feel pain, trying hard to break free from the man's hand.
But the man narrowed his eyes, and the woman beside him smiled and sprinkled a kind of medicinal powder around the roots of the vine.
The vine suddenly stopped moving.
But the man who looked like a flower pot silently grew his mouth, and his face became more distorted, as if he was in great pain.
"Okay, you have completed what my master ordered, and your merits have been completed. Just let you work with this bloody flower to become my master."
The voice of the charming woman is beautiful.
But what she said was enough to make anyone tremble.
The man's fingers still remained in the vines, searching for something.
Outside, Lin Mengya discovered that the vines, which had been peaceful just now, suddenly started to dance wildly with demons.
She was startled and thought something had happened.
But then, as if it had received sufficient nutrients, the ghost vine suddenly collapsed straight.
Lin Mengya, who had no idea what was happening in the root system, thought it was because the vines had gained new nutrients.
This is not possible!
If the ghost vines were allowed to grow uncontrollably, they might not be able to control them.
Make a decisive decision and act now.
She ran outside and dropped a bottle.
The amount of medicinal powder in the bottle was more than double that of before.
As soon as it touched the air, it turned into blood and became the silent invitation of the vine.
Lin Mengya had already confirmed the route back and forth. The guards were following her, and the two of them moved very quickly.
Vines are characterized by speed, agility, and unpredictability.
Therefore, she had to choose more temptation strategies to lure more of the ghost vines.
Fortunately, she had good timing.
The man in red and his men used something similar to an anesthetic on Kito.
Although this thing is effective for ghost vines, it will give it the illusion of energy.
In this way, once the effect of anesthesia wears off, the ghost vine will feel hungry, because its body relies on energy to branch out more vines, so the deceived ghost vine must grow in the shortest possible time. Inside, replenish yourself with energy.
The things she used were really effective, but because of the anesthetic
existence, Gui Teng will not react for a while, which greatly enhances her safety.
When she completed the arrangement as quickly as possible and the guards brought her safely back to the small courtyard, Vine from the Sheng family finally realized that she had been deceived.
The smell of blood seemed particularly tempting at this time.
Lin Mengya adjusted her detection system to the highest level, and then she heard the sound of ghost vines constantly breaking out of the ground.
"coming!"
She shouted lowly, and instantly everyone was ready to go.
Countless ghost vines spread their vines, greedily sucking the fake blood she left behind.
It was the first time for everyone to face Oni Teng head-on.
When they saw the main vine that was as thick as a human body, they couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in their hearts.
Is this thing really a monster
Even Lin Mengya was surprised, how could such a thick main vine be attracted
Little did she know that all the energy would be supplied to the main vine first, and then the main vine would act as a distributor and distribute it to each branch.
But this time, the main vine lost the most energy, so the main vine came to "replenish".
As everyone knows, this is a Hongmen Banquet with no return!
The vines were getting closer and closer, and they saw that the spiked vines were about to reach them, but a few people still kept calm and determined whether there was any way to gather more ghost vines in their location.
Lin Mengya felt her scalp numb.
Just when Gui Teng was about to touch her, she gave the order first.
"ignition!"
Instantly, the strong smell of fire oil was poured on it.
Then came the fire that had already been burning.
Without exception, smoke arose from everywhere.
What Oni Teng fears most is fire.
But it never expected that the thing they feared most would one day burn blazingly on their bodies.
The sound of "cracking" hit everyone's heart.
After all, vines are vines. There is no cry, but there is movement when struggling.
Sparks were flying everywhere, and even she felt the heat wave, and the tips of her hair turned brown, but like the guards, no one backed away.
"Madam, I have successfully ignited the fire."
"Me too!"
"me too!"
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief when the sound came from far away.
It seems that they have succeeded!
"Okay, let's retreat."
Lin Mengya tore off a piece of cloth and covered her face.
The ghost vine has been completely ignited, and what they have to do now is to safely evacuate Shengjia City.
As for those survivors who may be hiding elsewhere, they will soon find that it has become relatively safer.
She had checked the routes they passed one by one before to make sure no one was there.
The rest depends on their luck.
The fire burst into flames, sending black smoke into the sky.
When Lin Mengya was retreating, she couldn't help but look in the direction of Sheng Mansion.
One is sighing, and the other is probably worried that the vine will not die.
It seemed that she would have to come in again after the fire passed.
At least, she could feel at ease only if she was sure that Kito was really burned to death.
But what she didn't expect was that two figures walked out of the depths covered by the fire.
