Original War

These giant dragonflies have a good temper, otherwise they won't let the advance team ride a ride.

Looking at the working style of the advance team, this is not the first time they have used this method to go down the mountain, and these giant dragonflies may not be unimpressed with them, but according to the tower's statement, as long as they don't proactively anger them, they don't attack, they fight against each other. The rider doesn't mind, and is willing to take a ride.

Looking down from the dragonfly's back, the forest below looks very peaceful. Of course, this is only the surface. The land below is even more dangerous than the forests that I passed on the hunting route last time.

The Weak are Prey to the Strong rule also applies here. In some places where trees are too dense, there will be great competition for nutrient absorption. Shao Xuan occasionally sees some withered trees. The trees are very large. It has a history of one hundred years and is intricately intertwined. It was such a tree, but it withered, there was no wormhole, and the trunk was not cracked, but the tower told Shao Xuan that it had been "obliterated" by other surrounding trees.

The battlefield of plants may be on the ground or underground, and you will see when you dig through the ground. The roots of the dead tree are all cut off by the roots of other surrounding trees.

"Attention, we have to prepare to go down!" Ta reminded Shao Xuan.

They couldn't always follow this group of dragonflies, their destinations were different, and after a ride, they parted ways.

The dragonflies are very large, and the forty people in the advance team are not all gathered together. Even if the dragonflies that they rode are next to each other at the beginning, as the dragonflies fly and their formation changes, they will soon be invisible.

"Jump!"

Shao Xuan didn't use any strength at all, so he was carried by the tower and jumped down.

The tower chosen to land is a plant that stands there like a tall building, falling on a huge leaf near the top. The buffer of the leaf has removed some of its strength, and the tower is waiting for the dragonflies to fly slightly. It jumps down when it's low, so it won't hurt.

After landing safely, Shao Xuan was also put down.

The leaves under the feet are a bit cold and not smooth.

In other positions in the air, team members continued to find suitable landing points to jump down.

"Let's go."

The tower called Shao Xuan to follow, but he didn't carry Shao Xuan this time, but he promised that the witch would take Shao Xuan back safely, so he had to keep an eye on it.

"Be alert to your surroundings and react quickly." Ta exhorted.

"Yeah." Shao Xuan followed the tower, jumping from the upper leaves of this plant to the lower leaves, and be careful not to roll off the leaves.

This plant only has leaves near the top third, and further down, there is only the thick stem.

The tower deliberately slowed down, and Shao Xuan followed him down the stem.

The trees near the ground are not as bright as above, the plants are too dense, the branches block the sunlight too much, and only a small part is projected from the gap. The lower part is obviously more shady, but the light is enough for Shao Xuan to see the surroundings.

Here, Shao Xuan felt that he had become smaller, or the world had become bigger.

Last time I went hunting, I saw many ancient trees and large beasts, but I didn't feel as small as it is now.

Even the mushrooms are like a wooden house, can it not feel small?

Close to the rhizome of the tall plant near the ground, the tower blew the whistle and summoned the other people who landed.

The whistle is lower, not as good as the whistle of other hunting teams such as birds and deer. This is specially used in this place.

The faint sound is never far away, and it is difficult to notice if you don't listen carefully.

Shao Xuan looked over and found that several thin vines, like straw ropes, were rapidly extending here.

Shao Xuan and the tower are both standing in the direction where the vines extend, but Shao Xuan feels that the target of these vines seems to be himself.

Whoosh!

A small stone knife was nailed to the ground and cut off the tip of the vine that was stretching toward this side.

The vine that had been chopped off immediately stopped extending to this side, but quickly retracted, seemingly scared.

Ta took the stone knives back in the past and said to Shao Xuan, "Don't treat them as dead, or you will die. Moreover, many of them know how to weaken and avoid strong. The weakest of our team is you."

Sure enough, it became a target again.

The fierce beasts in the forest will attack the cubs of other races when they find an opportunity, and here, even this group of plants knows how to find a soft pinch, if they are too strong, they can't hold it.

Shao Xuan had heard people say in his previous life that plants also have five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, but many people did not pay attention to it. And now, Shao Xuan deeply understands the five senses magnified by these plants.

Before long, other soldiers who landed everywhere also gathered here, and after counting the number, they continued to set off. But this time split into two teams, looking for Wufa's mission from two directions.

In this way, the team that Shao Xuan was in would also have twenty people.

For this vast green area, it is impossible for the advance team to be familiar with every inch of land, but they can recognize the direction, as long as there is sunshine, they will not get lost, and their route is basically the same.

Birds and insects can be heard in the forest. There are also various sounds made by some plants. Sometimes it is like knocking on the door. The sound of tuk-tuk echoes in the forest, and sometimes the sound reminds Shao Xuan of the mast. The sound of the wedge head turning.

Following the tower and the others running in the woods, Shao Xuan saw all kinds of plant weapons. The moment before was quiet and peaceful, The next moment became bloody.

Shao Xuan once saw a plant whose original smooth leaves could instantly turn into saws or cutters, cutting up animals or other plants that intruded around, and then burying them in the ground around it to increase nutrition. .

There are also those who eat meat directly. Some are similar to the sundew and pitcher plants that have been seen in the past, and some are more ferocious and are active attack types. Generally, people in the advance team will avoid them. That type of plant is normal. It's not easy to mess with.

"Take a rest, Tuo and Niibai go to get water." After driving for a long time, the tower said to each other.

What Wu was looking for was not here, and they had to run for a while before they could meet it.

There is no river around here, not even a stream. Shao Xuan was puzzled, and saw that Tuo and Nao came under a plant with thick leaves and used a stone knife to split the surface of the stem. Only a few strokes could break the slit. With just one stroke, the wall was too thick to cut. , Even if the gap is cut, it will close together quickly.

The clear green liquid flows out from the cut gap, with a faint sweet smell. Tuo and Naiba took the kettle and collected the liquid that came out.

Those liquids will also attract other insects, so except for Tuo He Niao Bei and Shao Xuan who went to fetch water, everyone else was on guard around them, killing one insect when they came. Some people guard against the sky, and some guard against other directions in the woods. After being allocated, only two people can be free to fetch water.

"Axuan, throw the kettle over!" said Tuo, who was fetching water over there.

Tuo didn't let Shao Xuan get close to the plant, and Shao Xuan stood ten meters away. Hearing Tuo's words, Shao Xuan threw the empty Calabash over.

After the water was filled, Tuo threw Calabash over and continued to call the next team member to throw the kettle.

Those bright-green liquid attracted many insects, all of which were relatively large, and any beetle was nearly one meter long.

"Hurry up!" the tower over there urged.

There was a swarm of insects flying here in the distance, and they were No. 20, unable to hold the swarm of insects.

When the last pot was taken, the group of insects was about two hundred meters away from here, enough for them to leave.

"go!"

After taking the water, naturally you have to leave immediately.

"What are those?" Shao Xuan asked while resting on a plant leaf after leaving a certain distance.

"We call it the tearer. The plant that we took the water just now can recover quickly after we take the water, the incision will heal, and the water flowing out will be reabsorbed back by it, and then protected by a thick wall. When they get up, many insects can't handle it, or leave after they can't smell it, but the tearer is different. When it meets the tearer, the plant will probably die." Tuo said.

The kind of insects called tearers, as the name suggests, have blade-like forelimbs for biting and cutting. The tearers are not afraid of meat and vegetables, they can suck plant juice and animal blood, and they often fly in groups.

The people in the advance team do not want to confront the ripper. One is that the ripper swarm is too lethal. The other is that the bug is too stinky. If it smells like that, it may not be able to go back after the hunt. eliminate.
