The fight before the vines has reached a fever pitch.
Lin Mengya grasped the medicinal powder in her hand tightly, her expression solemn.
To her, the ghost vine is a completely unknown and dangerous plant.
Therefore, she can 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 doesn't say that these plants will eat each other when they bloom!"
Xiaoyao's voice came from the system.
Lin Mengya looked at the message from Xiaoyao.
"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 fast 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.
"It can't be a coincidence, right? Or is it a mutation or something?"
She likes roses the most among flowers. Her family knows this 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!
Even small medicines are not guaranteed.
"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 Xiao Yao 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 exposed 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 variants or close relatives, the ghost vine and the jade rose are indeed related.
But the next moment, she couldn't help but fall into thinking.
Jade roses can bear fruit, but what about ghost vines?
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, that sacred tree is already half-dead."
The man in red looked at Elder Sheng.
Although he did not answer the woman's words, he obviously thought so.
He reached out and touched the vine gently. The next moment, he bent his fingers and inserted them hard into the vine.
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 flowerpot had his mouth grow silently, and his face became more distorted, as if he was suffering from great pain.
"Okay, you have completed what my master ordered, and your merits are considered complete. Just let you work with this bloody flower to become my master."
The voice of a charming woman
The sound is melodious.
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 vine is allowed to grow uncontrollably, they may not be able to control it.
Make a decisive decision and act now.
She ran outside and dropped a bottle.
The amount of medicinal powder in that bottle was more than double that of before.
As soon as it came into contact with the air, it turned into blood and became the silent invitation of the vine.
Lin Mengya had already confirmed the route back and forth, and the guards were following her. The two of them moved very quickly.
The characteristic of vines is that they are fast, agile and unpredictable.
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 anesthesia is over, the ghost vine will feel hungry, because its body relies on energy to branch out more vines, so the ghost vine that has been deceived must be in the shortest possible time.
Inside, replenish yourself with energy.
The things she used were really effective, but because of the anesthetic, Kito wouldn't be able to react for a while, which greatly enhanced her safety.
When she completed the arrangement as quickly as possible and the guards brought her safely back to the small courtyard, the vines on the Sheng family finally realized that they 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.
I'm afraid this thing isn't 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 actually 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" it.
Little did they know, this was 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, thick 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 "cracking" sound hit everyone's heart.
A vine is a vine after all. There is no cry, but there is movement when it struggles.
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!"
There was movement in the distance, and Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that they have succeeded!
"Okay, let's retreat."
Lin Mengya tore off a piece of cloth to protect her face.
The ghost vine has been completely ignited. 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 this place 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 own luck.
The fire was raging and black smoke was rising into the sky.
While Lin Mengya was retreating, she couldn't help but look in the direction of Sheng Mansion.
One is feeling sad, and the other is probably worrying that the vines will not die.
It seemed that she would have to come in again after the fire was over.
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 would step out of the depths covered by the fire.
