Bai Mo ate up the food, then pretended to be casual and threw the food packaging bag out, just covering the few weeds at the edge of the tent.
Not long after, there was a noise outside the tent. The men in black robes outside seemed to be aware of the deaths of those women. The whole camp suddenly seemed to explode. A group of people shouted that they must find the murderer, and their mouths were full of words. He made filthy words, saying that he wanted to find the murderer and let him take the place of these women.
But at the end of the day, this matter is settled.
What these people cared about was not the lives of these women, but the thought that in the next long half month, they would have to rely on their own hands to survive, and they were so angry that they clamored to find the murderer.
Bai Mo didn't care about this, and the relevant information about Wuji grass species quickly flashed in his mind——
The boundless grass species is not a plant in the strict sense. Its shape is similar to a dark red oval pebble, about the size of a thumb, with a hard texture. It is a taboo creature that exists in the dark forest. Because of its inconspicuous appearance, it is very popular. Hard to be noticed.
Most of the plants in the dark forest have a certain degree of intelligence, but the boundless grass species is an exception. It has tenacious vitality and can endure most extreme environments. It does not require necessary water and oxygen, nor does it require sunlight and soil, and its survival time is extremely long. .
This is because they have been in a dormant period for a long time. The environment that is truly suitable for the growth of Infinite Grass seeds is the flesh and blood of living creatures. Once rooted in the flesh and blood, the seeds of Infinite Grass seeds will quickly wake up from the dormant period and absorb the nutrients in the flesh and blood. Part of the nutrients is used to supply its own growth, and the remaining nutrients are just enough to keep the host alive.
The growth of the boundless grass species is extremely arrogant, and plants within a radius of two kilometers will be affected. A large number of boundless grasses will grow in the land. The roots of this grass are very deep, and they will plunder the fertility of the land and cut off the possibility of other plants growing.
This process completely depends on the vitality of the host. If the vitality of the host is sufficient, such as taking root in the body of an S-class transcendent, the growth range of the Boundless Grass will reach a terrifying level, and even become truly boundless. It’s not impossible that it’s boundless grass——
And that's exactly why it got its name.
The growth of boundless grass is often very lush, but it is not edible. Only a small number of life forms can use it as food, such as a creature known to Bai Mo called the ring-headed sheep.
It is worth mentioning that the group of beasts transformed by humans that once appeared on the Hidden Beast Mountain can also use boundless grass as food.
The Infinite Grass species use human bodies as nutrients to grow wildly, and the Infinite Grass that grows can provide food for beasts transformed by humans. As for these "animals" that eat the Infinite Grass to survive, they become the ones who are fed, and when they mature, they serve as other animals. Food for a group of people——
This is not a good memory, but it was a common occurrence in Bai Mo's era.
It was an era when death was happier than life.
Throwing away all the memories of the past, Bai Mo recovered his thoughts and breathed a long sigh of relief.
…He certainly knows how to clear out endless grass seeds.
In fact, as long as you throw the endless grass seeds into the dark forest, there will be a lot of taboo plants for you to perform a textbook removal method. After all, the growth of the endless grass seeds is too domineering, completely suppressing the growth of other plants, which is equivalent to killing Who can bear the death of other plants?
Therefore, there are actually many ways to clear endless grass species in the dark forest.
Of course, they often use the simplest method to kill the endless grass seeds, which is to directly kill the host - even the nutrients are gone. The endless grass seeds naturally have no possibility of continuing to grow and can only gradually die.
And because of the particularity of the host, the relationship between the boundless grass species and the host will naturally not be a life-or-death relationship. It will not completely kill the host, but will also give it some benefits, such as more sensitive senses, building amplification and
The communication ability between plants, and... tenacious vitality.
This is highly consistent with what Wen Ziya wants. After being parasitized, Wuji Grass Seed also successfully allowed her to enter the level of a B-level transcendent.
Of course, the price is also very expensive, that is, losing freedom. As the "soil", the host will lose mobility and can only take root in the same place for a long time.
Having a long life but no freedom is undoubtedly a terrible torture, and the God of Destiny and Black Henna have a say in this.
Because of this, Wen Ziya only dreamed of clearing the boundless grass seeds and regaining freedom, but she just turned a blind eye to it. If there was no problem here, even Bai Mo would not believe it.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Bai Mo made some guesses. Then he let go of his thoughts, lay on the ground and fell asleep, breathing evenly.
Not long after, the noise in the camp suddenly disappeared.
This process was quite abrupt, as if everyone who spoke out had their throats suddenly strangled, unable to make a sound. The entire camp was in dead silence, flickering in and out of the flickering candlelight, which seemed a bit strange.
"Stab-"
There was a slight sound.
There was clearly no wind, but the packaging bag Bai Mo used to block his sight suddenly rolled to the side, and several small grasses that looked like they had just sprouted appeared, motionless, as if staring at the sleeping figure on the ground.
At the same time, all the men in black robes outside the tent suddenly froze on the spot. The eyes under the black masks lost their agility and became dull and numb - as if they were lifeless.
They were like sculptures, surrounding Bai Mo's tent. They didn't make a sound. It seemed that even their breathing had stopped. They were as silent as corpses, which looked extremely strange.
Under everyone's black robes, slender green branches climbed up their trouser legs to their waists, quietly piercing their backs, like the threads of a puppet, connected to unknown places.
In the tent, a branch quietly emerged from the ground, swinging slightly from side to side. It seemed that it had been observing Bai Mo for a long time, but in the end it made no movement and sank into the ground again.
Bai Mo suddenly turned over without opening his eyes, as if he didn't know anything about it.
…
There was no sunlight in the underground passage, and naturally there was no concept of day and night. Bai Mo was woken up by the noise outside, and he silently estimated in his mind that it was probably the next morning.
He ignored the crowd's noise and Sun Yan's ambiguous gaze, and quickly found Wen Ziya.
The thick vines outside the tent moved slowly, as if anticipating his arrival, beckoning him to come in.
Bai Mo walked in. The tent was still filled with the familiar large green plants, as well as the masked woman's head wrapped in the center of the plants.
"The look in your eyes tells me that if we meet again, you will still dislike me for what I am now."
Wen Ziya's calm voice sounded, and no emotion could be heard.
"I said it's not disgusting." Bai Mo shook his head seriously.
Wen Ziya didn't bother to dwell on this issue: "You are looking for me now, you must be planning to leave, right?"
"Um."
"Then you can leave now. Just leave. I will tell my subordinates that you have my order. They will not doubt it and will not follow you out. Don't worry."
Bai Mo said: "I have a question to ask you before I leave. I wonder if you can answer it for me."
"Of course, but in exchange, you also need to answer a question for me."
Wen Ziya smiled slightly, her voice gentle and charming.
Bai Mo pondered for a moment: "I heard that the branch tunnel leading in and out of the market can eat people. Will I die in the tunnel later?"
After the words fell, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, and Wen Ziya narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Who did you hear that?"
"Wu Laoer, your subordinate."
After a while, Wen Ziya replied: "As I said, the tunnel is a barrier I use to prevent my men from leaving. However, it does not eat people. It just has several other exits. As long as you do not leave from the entrance you first entered,
It’s easy to create the illusion that someone has disappeared.”
"This is what I used to fool my men. There is no danger in the tunnel."
"That's it." Bai Mo smiled faintly, seeming to be relieved, "Then you ask, and I will answer your question truthfully."
Wen Ziya thought for a while: "Can you tell me your identity?"
Once it was her name, and once it was her identity. They were all simple questions. She didn't seem to care about the secret Bai Mo knew.
"Of course. In fact, I thought you would ask about the boundless grass species." Bai Mo smiled half-heartedly, then straightened his expression and said, "I am the most powerful person today, the founder of the forbidden era. All taboos
The weird king, the unspeakable traitor, the great existence that even the gods turn their eyes on—White Mist."
He was serious and started using a lot of titles when he opened his mouth, which made Wen Ziya confused.
Wen Ziya was stunned for a long time, then sighed and said: "I hope we can be honest with each other, instead of joking... or this kind of nonsense."
"Yes, to be honest with you, I hope so -"
"you……"
Wen Ziya was stunned, and the other party's tone seemed to have changed in some way.
"You said I was joking, but didn't you yourself feel the same way?" Bai Mo said lightly, "I can see that there is something wrong with that tunnel. If you eat people, you can eat them. There is no need to hide them."
"I didn't." Wen Ziya raised her eyebrows.
Bai Mo said with some regret: "I thought about it all night, and finally figured out one thing. It's better for us to be honest with each other, otherwise I won't look for you again, but you seem to have thought clearly."
Just because you were talking so much about the train, you don't have the slightest intention of being honest with each other...
"Even if you say so, I still haven't eaten anyone." Wen Ziya insisted.
"Then just pretend you haven't eaten -"
After a brief silence, Bai Mo's voice cooled down without warning, "But I've seen it all. Those corpses outside are not even alive. Their bodies are covered with branches. You are clearly sucking their flesh and blood!"
Wen Ziya's eyes were stunned and she was speechless for a long time.
"I...I'm just hungry." She said with evasive eyes, "Boundless Grass Seed sometimes controls my thoughts, and I don't want to, but I can't resist..."
"Oh?" Bai Mo said aggressively, "Your men dumped all the corpses in the same place. That should be your exclusive dining table, right? This is obviously used to worship you. This is not the first time you have eaten corpses!
"
Wen Ziya said nothing, her eyes flickered.
Bai Mo looked at her coldly.
After a while, Wen Ziya said gloomily: "Actually, we don't have to be honest with each other to this extent."
Bai Mo sneered: "I thought you were a good person."
"As long as you forget about this, you can still walk out of the tunnel and I will still be a good person and I will not kill you."
"And I'm going to die in the tunnel?"
"I told you, the tunnel won't eat people."
"But there is definitely a problem, isn't it?" Bai Mo struggled.
The air was silent for a long time, and a tense atmosphere spread.
Seeing that her true identity was revealed, Wen Ziya finally stopped trying to hide it, and her tone seemed to be a completely different person, extremely cold: "If I just let you and your friends leave here, don't you think I'm a good person?"
Bai Mo's eyes narrowed: "Friend... you really know."
The meaning of the other party's words was obvious. She obviously knew the existence of Zhang Tao and others who were staying in the passage, otherwise she would not have said the word "friend".
He thought of the tall grass seeping out of the walls in the passage, and suddenly understood - as a B-level transcendent, within this range, those boundless grasses could also serve as Wen Ziya's eyes and ears.
"Of course, I just ignored them." Wen Ziya smiled gloomily, "But just as you were speaking, they were restrained by my manipulation of plants, and two of them seem to be women..."
She stuck out her pink tongue, licked her lips, and then frowned.
"The look in your eyes tells me that you think I'm disgusting now?"
"But it doesn't matter. In fact, you could have taken them away safely, but you insisted on forcing me. Ha, now it seems... these two women can only give my men extra food, I believe it."
They will be happy too."
"As for you..."
Bai Mo's complexion changed and he said loudly: "I would rather die than obey!"
Wen Ziya's expression froze, but she soon returned to normal, and sneered: "As for you, you can let me have a taste of living things."
She licked her lips again, but had no intention of taking action.
Bai Mo's thoughts changed and he actually took the lead in launching an offensive.
His speed was not fast, but his arm strength was astonishing. He tore apart the vines blocking him in a few seconds and quickly approached Wen Ziya.
"act recklessly."
Wen Ziya smiled coldly, and suddenly two pillar-like vines stretched out from behind, wrapping around Bai Mo on the left and right.
The vines were extremely fast, carrying the power of destroying the world and smashing into Bai Mo in an instant.
The alarm bells rang in the latter's heart, and he made predictions in advance. He rolled violently, and the vines brushed his arm and smashed into the ground, forming a crack.
Bai Mo glanced at his right arm. The vines were thorny, and the slightest touch would cause his skin to be torn and his flesh to be torn, and he was seriously injured.
As he was about to get up, a large number of branches, flowers and plants beside him suddenly seemed to come alive. Madness surged through him, binding him like a dense fishing net.
Bai Mo's heart sank, and he tried his best to use both arms, but he only broke a few branches and was unable to escape.
Wen Ziya smiled coldly.
But thinking that the overall situation was settled, she didn't notice that behind her, a purple vine quietly emerged from the plants and quietly moved towards her.
After lying dormant for a long time, the purple vine suddenly exerted force, like a projected javelin, and stabbed Wen Ziya in the back of the neck.
The latter's eyes were blank, as if he only realized the attack from behind belatedly.
Her body trembled, but she didn't stop her. Instead, she quietly closed her eyes.
However, the imagined pain did not come.
Opening her eyes, she met a pair of calm eyes, and a sigh sounded in her ears.
"Oh, although you deliberately want to die, even if you stand here and let me hit you, I can't hurt you at all right now - I'm really sorry to disappoint you."
