Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 238: Weird red mist flower

Views:

The red mist flower that Xu Xin had seen before was a large, brightly colored flower that was half a person's height and would emit red mist at regular intervals.

This flower was smaller than the three he had seen before, only half a meter tall, but it looked basically the same. With his ability to identify, this red mist flower emitted a blue grade light.

But why is there a red mist flower here

"Is this... the Red Mist Flower?" Ji Chaoyang dismounted, walked to the flower, and looked at it carefully. "I saw it during the defense war. This kind of flower can release red mist. Xu Xin should have seen it too."

Xu Xin did not respond, but just stared at the little flower, his brows gradually furrowed.

Li Wenxi widened her eyes and covered her mouth, while Qi Xuefei took a deep breath.

"What's wrong with you?" Ji Chaoyang asked with some confusion.

The performance of these three people made him a little nervous.

"Hmm?" Coco tilted her head in confusion, jumped off the wolf's back, looked at the flower, and even flicked it twice with her little paws.

Li Wenxi pushed Xu Xin with his hand and whispered, "Isn't that the location where we... buried the body?"

"It should be right, it's here." Xu Xin nodded slowly.

"Where the body is buried?" Ji Chaoyang frowned and looked back at the red mist flower. "You mean, this flower didn't exist originally, but it just grew where you buried the body?"

"That's right." Xu Xin turned over and got off the wolf. He walked to the red mist flower, lifted Coco, who was still fiddling with the flower, onto his shoulder, and then took out a shovel.

A red mist flower grew where they buried the bodies, which really made him feel creepy.

And the most important thing is that this piece of soil is just a white-grade soil. According to the previous introduction of the red mist flower, this kind of red mist flower can only grow in soil of blue grade or above.

It suddenly grew out of the white soil, which made Xu Xin wonder whether it was related to the bodies of the survivors they buried.

He wanted to dig out the two pieces of soil to see if the body was still inside.

"... Do we really need to dig it out again... But, have you seen this kind of flower before?" Li Wenxi also got off the wolf and walked over to ask.

"Well, during the defense battle, there were several such flowers in one of the holes in the ground." Xu Xin explained while waving a shovel and digging towards the roots of the red mist flower.

Obtain 1 Red Mist Flower Plant and 1 Red Mist Flower Seed

It was indeed the Red Mist Flower, and he actually successfully dug out the Red Mist Flower and obtained the plant!

Red Mist Flower Plant (Blue): A flower that releases red mist. It must be transplanted within 24 hours or it will wither.

Xu Xin held the half-meter-long flower and looked at the ground where it grew, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Hurry up and dig up the bottom and take a look." Qi Xuefei reminded him from behind.

Only a few hours had passed since they buried the bodies, and they were now a little nervous, not knowing what the condition of the bodies underneath was.

Xu Xin waved the shovel and started digging the soil.

The advanced shovel can dig the soil very quickly. Just a few shovels can dig out the soil that was previously filled in.

"Huh?" Xu Xin felt that he had dug up something hard.

He swept the soil in the pit with a shovel, and suddenly a white color appeared in the soil.

"This is… "

He continued to swing the shovel, and the objects buried in the soil began to become clear.

Several people looked at the things in the soil.

"hiss-"

"Bing!"

“Oh my god!”

"how so… "

Xu Xin also looked into the pit. Although he had expected it, he still felt a little cold on his back.

That white thing is bone.

Human bones. Moreover, it was a skull whose neck had been cut directly off.

Without saying a word, Xu Xin continued digging and dug out all the bones.

The bones are scattered, but it can be seen that they are human bones. The skull, hand bones and foot bones can still be distinguished.

The bones of one hand were broken, and it was obviously the hand that was crushed by Xu Xin.

This is obviously Ma Hongyu's body.

It's only been a few hours, and a corpse with flesh and blood has turned into a skeleton

Several people looked at the big, gorgeous red flower that Xu Xing had placed on the ground.

Does this flower really grow by sucking the blood and flesh of survivors

"Is this skeleton really that of Ma Hongyu?" Ji Chaoyang's voice brought the three people who were in confusion back to their senses.

Xu Xin looked around and nodded slowly: "Yes, judging from the characteristics of the bones, it is definitely him."

"What's the principle behind this?" Ji Chaoyang frowned. "After the survivor died and was buried in the soil, a few hours later, a red mist flower grew out?"

"Not sure..."

Xu Xin looked at the bones on the ground.

In fact, he felt a little relieved.

What he was most worried about was that there were no more corpses down there. If that was the case, it would be really creepy.

But since the bones are still there, it means that Ma Hongyu is indeed dead.

There's nothing to be afraid of a dead person.

"Red Mist Flower can only grow in blue-grade soil, right?" Ji Chaoyang asked, "Is this soil blue-grade? Can you tell with your identification ability?"

"No." Xu Xin shook his head and said, "This soil is not only not blue-grade, it's not even green-grade. It's just a piece of white-grade soil."

A red mist flower grew on the white-level soil. Although Xu Xin was reluctant to admit it, the reason was already obvious.

Looking at the strange and beautiful flowers in his hand, he felt a little weird.

This is really a flower of human blood.

"Do you want this flower?" Xu Xin picked up the red mist flower on the ground and said to Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei.

Both he and Ji Chaoyang had encountered the red mist flower. Presumably, Ji Chaoyang had also obtained the seeds of the red mist flower, so he probably didn't need this kind of thing.

"No, no! This is a dead flower!" Li Wenxi shook her head wildly. She didn't want to see a big flower that grew from a dead person's corpse as nutrients. It was simply creepy.

Qi Xuefei also shook her head, but her reason was different: "It can't be used as medicine, so it's useless for me to take it."

"This flower can release the red mist that you must have encountered near the cave before," Xu Xin explained. "That red mist can enhance the strength of mutant beasts. Wen Xi, your Ah Niu should need it very much."

"This..." Li Wenxi's expression was very interesting, but he still shook his head, "You should keep it for yourself."

It is good that it can enhance Aniu's strength, but this flower is really a bit creepy.

This is a big flower that grows by sucking the blood and flesh of the survivors!

"I already have three." Xu Xin thought of the three red mist flowers that had not yet grown when he left. They should have grown now and started to emit red mist.

"Why not give it to me?" Ji Chaoyang looked at the big flower in Xu Xin's hand, frowned and said in a deep voice, "It just so happens that I don't grow red mist flowers, so I'll take it back and study it. You can give the seeds of the red mist flower to Li Wenxi."

"Okay." Xu Xin handed the flowers to Ji Chaoyang.

Ji Chaoyang didn't despise it and directly put the "human blood flower" into his backpack.

Xu Xin handed the red mist flower seed to Li Wenxi again and told her how to use the red mist flower to make a "sauna room".

"I don't know how to make a steel frame, so I can't build a house outside. You can come and help me when the time comes." Li Wenxi said to Xu Xin, holding the seeds.

She could still accept the flowers she planted, and she also wanted Aniu to become stronger.

"Of course." Xu Xin agreed naturally. Once the coordinates were worked out, he and Li Wenxi would be like neighbors, and it wouldn't be a big deal.

He filled the soil back into the pit and finally looked at the flat land with a complicated expression.

Why does the red mist flower grow from the flesh and blood of survivors

Perhaps, this may involve secrets about the survivors themselves.

The dead survivors turned into flowers that released red mist, and the red mist released by the flowers strengthened the mutant creatures.

Complex and incomprehensible.

Shaking his head and not thinking about it anymore, Xu Xin climbed onto the wolf and pulled Li Wenxi up with him.

There are too many mysteries in this world, so let’s complete the itinerary we have confirmed for today.

The two people over there have also mounted their horses.

"The tree house on the south side is Li Yajun's tree house. Let's go, Silver King." Xu Xin pointed to the green area on the south side.

The Silver King also let out a long roar, shuttled through the jungle, and moved towards the tree house. Ji Chaoyang followed closely behind on horseback.

"Xu Xin, what's wrong with this flower? It's so scary." Li Wenxi still sat sideways in front of Xu Xin, leaning her head on his arms and hugging him.

Coco huddled up between the two of them, and the little guy began to get lost in the lake again.

"I'm not sure, but Ma Hongyu is indeed dead. There's no need to worry about this matter for the time being." Xu Xin said this to himself. He felt a little uneasy now.

"This world really has a lot of secrets that we don't know about..." Li Wenxi sighed.

Xu Xin slowed down slightly so that Ji Chaoyang's white horse could keep up with the Silver King's speed in the tree-lined jungle and walk side by side with it.

"What do you think of this flower?" Xu Xin asked.

"I don't have any special ideas," Ji Chaoyang rubbed his brows, "either we survivors are special, or this land is special."

"Next time you kill someone, you can try it out," Li Wenxi suggested.

"Well, you can give it a try, but don't kill people intentionally for such a thing. If you can keep people, you should keep them. The more people the better." Ji Chaoyang nodded.

Qi Xuefei didn't speak after she got on the horse. Although riding a horse was much better than riding a wolf, she still felt a little uncomfortable. She was afraid that opening her mouth to speak would make her even more uncomfortable.

Soon, they approached Li Yajun's tree house.

Li Yajun was trying hard to observe the unusual movements around her at this time, because this was the way Xu Xin and the others were trying to get rid of her.

Ever since Xu Xin and Li Wenxi left, she has been observing the outside, but has not found anything unusual.

But now, she suddenly saw a wolf and a horse galloping towards her in the distance, with several people sitting on them.

"Ah!" Li Yajun was delighted.

They are back!

And there are two more people, both of them are the big bosses of the explorers!
