"I didn't know the heights of the world at that time. I just treated Evanora as an ordinary visitor and answered the difficult questions she raised one by one."
"After hearing my answer, Evanora's face immediately darkened, and she sneered and said to me, 'A mere scarecrow with an overly smart mind is a waste. I will correct this mistake now!'.
"
"After that, this vicious witch cursed me and turned me into an indecisive fool who no longer dared to make decisions for others, and my life became joyless."
After telling his story, Vita looked at Ma Yun with a hint of expectation.
"Dear Miss Wizard, please forgive me for asking if the silver shoes you are wearing are Evanora's magic shoes."
"It's indeed those shoes."
"According to that, the news that has been circulating recently is true, that you cast a spell to summon a wooden house and killed Evanora, the Witch of the East?"
The scarecrow's voice trembled slightly with excitement.
"Miss Mage, since you have powerful magic power that surpasses Evanora, it must not be difficult to lift the curse for me, right?"
"Vita, I regret to tell you that I don't have the ability to lift the curse for you at the moment. In fact, Evanora's death was just an accident. I am not as powerful as people think."
Next, Ma Yun briefly told the cause and effect of being blown to Mengqijin Township by a tornado.
"If I really had powerful magic power, I wouldn't have to worry about going home."
"Miss Wizard, you just said you planned to go to the Emerald City to look for the Archmage of Oz?" the Scarecrow asked Ma Yun.
"Yes, a friend told me that Master Oz could cast a spell to send me home."
The Scarecrow lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked her a little embarrassedly: "Do you think...if I go to the Emerald City with you, will the great Oz help me lift the curse?"
"It's not certain. If you are willing, you can come with me and try."
"I guess that's a good idea!" Scarecrow nodded.
At this time, Ma Yun, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng received system prompts at the same time:
Scarecrow Vita joins your adventuring party!
"Have you noticed that this time is different from when Dana asked to join the team? I was not given the option to accept Vita's joining the team, and was directly forced to join!"
Ma Yun said in the Xingpan private chat channel.
"This verifies the guess that Xiaotian made before. All important NPCs related to the main plot will be forced to join the team. It will be impossible not to bring them." Jiang Feng said, "This is necessary to ensure the smooth progress of the plot.
constraint."
Ma Yun was convinced, and turned to the scarecrow and said: "From now on, we are companions. Before going to the Emerald City, we must first help the dwarfs solve the troubles in the corn fields. Vita, can you guess what's going on in the corn fields?"
How many trappers are hidden there?"
"Hmm... I can't say there are too many, but there are still eight or nine."
The scarecrow answered unconfidently.
"You lead the way. If you find a man-catching plant, point it out. The three of us will be responsible for destroying these monsters one by one!"
"Miss Mage, I have an immature suggestion. Are you interested in hearing it?"
"You can say what you want, and it doesn't matter if you say it wrong. After all, all of us are likely to make mistakes." Gao Fei encouraged the Scarecrow.
"According to my observation, in close combat, the trapper grass will use the serrated edges to bite people, just like the mouth of a crocodile. My spine was broken by one bite. You should be able to imagine the bite force."
Vita paused for a moment to make sure that the three of them were listening attentively and did not show any expressions of doubt or impatience. He regained some confidence and continued to speak.
"Compared with their melee bites, trapper plants have a more powerful weapon, which is their pollen."
"Pollen?" Ma Yun raised her eyebrows curiously.
"Yes, the pollen of the Manhunter Plant is toxic. When humans and beasts inhale this pollen, they will become intoxicated and can't help but want to get closer to the Manhunter Plant. Even if they shout a warning in their ears, they will not be able to stop them from walking straight towards it.
die……"
"Ecstasy pollen..." Ma Yun thought for a moment, then asked the scarecrow, "How far can this pollen spread and how long can it stay suspended?"
"With the Mancatcher itself as the center, it erupts within 30 feet of the surrounding area. If factors such as wind and rain are not taken into account, it can continue to take effect for about half an hour."
"The total amount of plant pollen is limited, and it cannot be re-synthesized in a short period of time after being sprayed once. Is it the same with the ecstasy pollen of the man-hunting plant?"
"Smart Miss Mage, you have hit the key point. According to my observation, a man-catching plant can only release ecstasy pollen once a day."
"In other words, we should try to avoid close combat with the man-catching plant and attack from 30 feet away to ensure safety."
"Miss Mage, this is exactly what I want to say."
The Scarecrow was very pleased that he finally found a mistress who was smarter than the dwarf.
"We already know almost everything about the enemy's situation, Vita, now you can lead us."
The scarecrow nodded, first walked to the big tree, reached into the hole of the tree and pulled out a sling, then selected a few stones of good size from the ground, and put them in his waist pocket to use as ammunition.
After getting ready, he turned and walked towards the cornfield, stopping occasionally to carefully observe the corn stalks swaying in the wind.
"Look, there's a trapper plant there!"
Vita pointed it out to his companions behind him.
Gao Fei followed the direction of his finger and looked over. At first glance, it looked like a particularly thick and tall corn stalk. After careful examination, he discovered that it had a pair of extremely wide and thick leaves, like a split pod, with sharp serrations on the edges.
With a trace of curiosity, Gao Fei opened the astrolabe to check the details of the man-catching plant.
The information provided in the illustrated book shows that the "mantrap" is a large carnivorous supernatural plant, like an enlarged version of the "flytrap". Small insects cannot satisfy their appetite, and humans and animals are their favorite food.
.
The challenge level of Mancatcher is level 1, with 45 HP, natural defense 2, and its attributes are: strength 15, agility 14, constitution 12, intelligence 1, perception 10, and charm 6.
As Vita said, the trapper plant can emit ecstasy pollen once a day.
Because they move slowly, they can only move 15 feet by their roots per round and cannot catch up with frightened prey. Therefore, they will always hide quietly in farmland or fruit trees, disguised as ordinary plants, and wait until the prey approaches.
Spread pollen to hypnotize them, and then deliver it to your door for them to enjoy.
