I glanced at him and said, "How do I know, but it looks a bit like a piranha in a tropical rainforest."
Jiao Ba whispered in my ear, "The flowers are indeed raised by people. Chang Shan is right about this."
I was suddenly startled, and asked him with wide eyes, "Raised by humans? Who on this desert island would grow such horrible flowers? Could it be... that the wizened old man raised them?"
If those rows of weird flowers were really raised by that wizened old man, then this old man is simply too scary. When I think about it, I get a chill on my back. Who can a normal person raise those things? This old man is so perverted.
"I don't know about this. Maybe it was really raised by the old man, and that thing is not a piranha at all. It is much scarier than a piranha." Jiao Ba's face was so gloomy and scary that I was very worried.
It's rare to see a face like his.
"Then what are these flowers?" I feel like we are going to get into big trouble again. This ghost island is full of dangers.
"Chang Shan is right. In fact, it is not a flower. It is a kind of grass. It is a very evil creature specially raised by some magicians in ancient times. It is called soul-stirring grass. It is fed with human souls and is specially used for...
Come to suck human souls."
"Once a person is attacked by the soul-destroying grass, he will not die, but he will turn into a soulless body, just like a walking zombie." Jiao Ba said with a cold face, almost gritting his teeth.
After hearing this, I was a little dumbfounded. Not only was I shocked, but I also felt panic in my heart. Soul-destroying grass? How could there be such an evil thing in this world? If I hadn't known Jiao Ba, I might never have known about it in my life.
There are still such terrible creatures in this world.
"Lao Ba, if I don't doubt your words, how did you know?" I still couldn't accept it. Although I wanted to admit what he said, I still had to ask the truth clearly.
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "When I first debuted, I knew a friend who raised this thing. I saw it with my own eyes, but what he raised was just ungrown soul-destroying grass, which is not harmful to humans.
It has no use and is purely for beautifying the environment.”
I glared at him in disgust and said, "Get out of here, are you making a fucking international joke? Can that damn thing beautify the environment? It's disgusting to look at."
Jiao Ba put his hand on my shoulder and said, "You are wrong, sworn brother, this ungrown soul-stirring grass is more beautiful than the poppy flower. It is extremely beautiful. It will only become what it is now when it grows up."
What a ghost."
I filtered what Jiao Ba said in my mind and basically understood it, "But where did this grass come from? It's not like that corpse cordyceps that grows around dead people, right?"
Jiao Ba shook his head and said, "Of course not. Corpse cordyceps and soul-destroying grass are two kinds of plants. One grows naturally next to corpses. Although the other grows naturally, it needs people to feed it. Soul-destroying grass is a century-old plant."
The rare and rare grass can only be found in the deep mountains and old forests, and it must be coordinated with the ability of the mage. But almost everyone who feeds this kind of soul-destroying grass will die badly. My friend died in the end.
Besides, it was almost torn into pieces."
After hearing this, I felt cold all over and didn't dare to say a word for a long time. Jiao Ba patted my arm and said, "Brother Yi, this ghost island may hide things that neither you nor I can imagine. You must be more careful on the road and follow it."
Bar."
I nodded numbly, but suddenly remembered another key thing, "By the way, old man, I suddenly remembered that the mass murder of the bearded men would have something to do with the corpse incense powder I had drunk before.
relation?"
Jiao Ba smiled and said, "You have so many questions on your mind. You are thinking in leaps and bounds. I am very responsible to tell you that I don't know. If it is really what you said, I can only wait until those two men in black are caught."
Only people can solve this mystery."
I sighed and said nothing more. Now I don't care about other things. I just want to get rid of this curse on me. If I do this now, I will have to turn this desert island upside down.
.
I have to find the person who set up the curse. No matter who he is, if it is really the wizened old man, I have to settle the score with him. This matter is no small matter.
"Brother Yi, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to help you get rid of the curse." Jiao Ba saw my thoughts, but he didn't know that I was still worried about a more terrifying thing.
Jiao Ba just said that the entire desert island is now cursed. Does that mean that all of us may be cursed?
I didn't dare to think about it. I originally wanted to say these words to Jiao Ba, but after thinking about it, it was better not to say it. If others knew about it, the consequences would be unimaginable, so just treat it as if it was me alone.
The further you go in, the harder the road becomes. Walking on the bumpy jungle road is not only tiring for your feet, but also tiring for your heart. You don’t know where the end is. Almost no one talks along the way, and the atmosphere is a bit dull, which is different from the surrounding environment.
Almost, it's very depressing and makes people feel irritable.
I shouted forward, "Who knows how far it is to get to the bottom of the mountain."
"Yeah, why is this road so far? The island doesn't look big, but walking here is different." Jenny wiped the sweat from her forehead and said a little tiredly.
At this time, Mai Lao stopped and turned around and said, "It should be almost here. Look, you can see the mountain peak from here. It must not be far away."
Li Xin stretched out her hand and said, "If we go through the forest ahead, we can reach the bottom of the mountain."
I walked over and looked forward, anticipating that there was still a short distance to go, "Let's go through the jungle in front of us first."
Steamed Bun squatted on the ground and cursed, "***, I think this Long March of 25,000 yuan is not as tiring as us. I have never seen a worse place than this."
Chang Shan said calmly, "This place is not tiring, but it is full of dangers. We have to be more careful along the way. Naturally, we are very tired from walking."
Mai Lao greeted everyone and said, "Okay, just keep holding on, we'll be there soon."
The big guy cursed and got up again and moved on. When we passed through the jungle and reached the jungle at the foot of the mountain, I was dumbfounded again. No, I should say we were all dumbfounded.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at this strange jungle area with a look of horror. This was no ordinary jungle area. The entire jungle was full of grown-up soul-destroying grasses. Other trees could not be seen at all. These soul-destroying grasses could not be seen at all.
It's literally endless, and it's so densely packed that it makes people's brains go numb.
"Oh my god, why are there all these weird flowers?" Mai Lao looked at the jungle in front of him, his face became very serious.
"It seems that if we want to get there, we have to go through here." Chang Shan said calmly next to him.
"Mr. Mai, we'd better go around, these flowers look too weird." Jenny's voice was a little weak.
"There's no way around it. If you want to go to the mountain, you have to go through here. This is the only way." Chang Shan made a quick decision.
"Is there no other way to go?" Jenny still held on to imaginary hope.
Mai Lao slowly shook his head and said, "There should be no more. This jungle is too big, so we have to find a way to get through it. Everyone, please be careful along the way. As long as you don't encounter these strange flowers, I think there should be no big problem."
.”
"Oops, we're in big trouble now. The whole jungle is full of soul-destroying grass. It's hard to get past. Mr. Mai makes it easy. He'll know it after we get in." Jiao Ba whispered in my ear.
Said while saying.
"Then what can you do? We can't take such a big risk, right?" I looked carefully at the environment in front of me, and there was almost no way to go. These soul-destroying grasses were too dense, and they were close to each other.
There's almost no room for you to walk.
"Let me think about it, I don't have any solution at the moment." Jiao Ba also looked very depressed. This is indeed a problem.
At this time, Li Xin suddenly said, "Mr. Mai, are you sure you can pass through this jungle area safely?"
"This...isn't this true? You have all seen that this jungle area is not ordinary trees, but the kind of strange flowers we encountered before. These flowers are very dangerous and aggressive to people. Who knows?
I can't guarantee absolute safety." Mai Lao looked at Li Xin and said with a dull look in his eyes.
Li Xin sneered and said, "Oh, if we are not sure, then we can't go in rashly. If something happens to such a large area, no one may survive."
Li Xin's words are correct. As long as something doesn't happen, you can do anything. But if something does happen, it will definitely be a big deal. If you become a mindless walking corpse, you might as well die.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Mai Lao asked Li Xin.
"I don't know. We can think of solutions, but it's definitely not possible to go in so rashly. I don't want to die just like that." Li Xin usually rarely refutes Mai Lao's words, but this time she directly overturned Mai.
Old decision.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's think of a foolproof plan. I also hope that each of us can get there safely." Mai Lao looked at everyone and looked a little tired. It seems that he has been very depressed these days.
.
The big man was the first to express his position and said, "I can't think of a way, so it's up to you to make the decision."
"I know you can't figure it out, your head is full of mush, and no one expects to ask you anything." Mantou said sarcastically to him next to him.
"Hey, you fat man, what do you mean? Are you looking for a beating?" The big man was so angry that he went over and started to fight.
"It's not certain who will beat whom? What's going on? Are you making gestures?" Mantou didn't show any weakness at all.
Mr. Mai stepped forward and pulled the buns back, yelling, "That's enough, how long has it been? You are still engaging in internal conflicts here. You don't even want to live anymore, right? There is no way to solve such a big trouble in front of you.
You two have arrived, but you are still arguing here. What's going on? Do you want to fight?" Mr. Mai rarely gets angry, but it seems that this time he is really angry, and his eyes are so wide that they are about to burst into flames.
The big man hesitated and said, "He was the one who scolded me first."
Steamed Bun also whispered, "Who scolded you? You are the one."
"Shut up, everyone. If you want to fight, I will give you a chance. After passing through this jungle, you can fight however you want. I don't care who kills whom. Just be honest now."
.”
Mr. Mai yelled again and looked at them. As expected, the big man and the steamed bun didn't dare to say anything anymore. They all lowered their heads and pretended to be dead. Mr. Mai always had an overwhelming domineering attitude, and it was difficult for anyone to dare to refute it.
