Chapter 45: Killer Vine
A half-man, half-goat monster, wearing a short animal skin skirt around his waist and holding a recorder in his hand.
He walked up to Herent and bowed apologetically.
"Dear traveler, I have no intention of disturbing you."
"My name is Paine, and I am a bard living in seclusion in these woods, composing a new song."
"I wonder if you would be so kind as to take a moment to listen to my performance. I look forward to your appreciation."
"You just want us to listen to the music?"
Heron sneered and exposed Paine's lie in public.
"You actually want to use your flute to play ecstasy songs to hypnotize weak-willed girls and lure them into the depths of the forest for you and your satyr brothers to play with, right?"
Paine nodded in agreement, and asked confidently, "What's wrong with everyone having fun together?"
"It's called pleasure only when both parties are willing." Helen retorted angrily, "After drugging someone, forcing them to have sex regardless of their wishes is called drugging! You dirty pervert!"
Including Allen, seeing the senior student go crazy, they all drew their weapons and prepared to cast spells to attack.
Paine was so frightened that his face changed. He apologized , promised not to harass anyone again, and quickly ran away.
"Bah!" Helen spat, "You are a bunch of horny male goats who are in heat all day long. Sooner or later, I will punish you severely!"
"Senior, is that guy named Paine the legendary centaur?" a girl asked curiously.
"That's right! Fauns are a kind of jungle elves who are proficient in music and very lustful. They are not extremely evil, but they are not good people either."
"These scumbags specialize in seducing innocent girls."
Helen sneered and criticized the satyr sharply.
"It is said that satyrs are masters of flirting and have a way of dealing with women. In my opinion, they are just so-so...far inferior to Mr. Allen!"
There was an uproar all around.
The boys were all cheering.
The girl covered her mouth and smiled shyly.
Alan's face was expressionless, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
However, what was even more embarrassing was yet to come.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Allen to give it a try!"
Helen was outspoken and excitedly encouraged the girls.
"Let me make it clear in advance, sleeping with this kid is not cheap!"
"You'd better have a price in mind!"
"Don't be like me and be slaughtered by him!"
…
The last day of our jungle safari.
It is also the most dangerous day.
The group will travel through a valley inhabited by animated plants.
Activate the habits of plants, similar to carnivorous beasts.
It looks no different from ordinary plants.
Especially when it is stationary and lurking among the bushes, it is like putting on a layer of natural camouflage.
Travelers passing by this place will be ambushed by animated plants if they are not careful.
He died tragically under the flowers and his body became fertility in the compost.
Helen reminded his juniors to be on high alert and stayed at the end of the team to cover their retreat.
She selected the four most powerful apprentices in the team.
Including Allen, Ferrin, Duke and Angel, they were responsible for leading the way.
It was rare for Duke not to lose his temper.
Calmly accepted Helen's assignment.
The four of them cut through the thorns and talked as they walked.
Duke never mentioned Heron.
It was as if the unpleasant incident on the ship had never happened.
Alan also didn't want to fall out with this young master.
Since Duke didn't mention it, he was happy to pretend to be confused.
For safety reasons.
Whenever I pass by a dark area with overgrown branches and vines.
Alan always turns on "Virus Detection".
So as to avoid being attacked by poisonous insects hiding under the bushes.
It turned out that his caution was necessary.
There was a sudden toxic reaction from the dense bushes ahead!
Alan gestured to his companion.
Remind everyone to be more vigilant.
Walk lightly and approach where the toxin reaction is coming from.
No poisonous snakes or scorpions were found.
Instead, the Taotie system suddenly popped up four prompts!
"Level 1 poison detected!"
"The distance is too far to identify!"
"Special ingredients detected!"
"The distance is too far to identify!"
Alan's heart moved and he immediately became energetic!
Special ingredients...are about to be shipped again!
At this time, the sound of branches rubbing against each other came from the bushes.
The four of them stopped immediately.
Hold your breath and be ready.
I thought it was a python or something like that, crawling in the bushes.
The result was unexpected.
What was slowly approaching was actually a tall shrub!
More than ten dark green vines as thick as wrists hang from the branches, bearing clusters of purple berries.
The vines dragged on the ground, twisting unnaturally like a python crawling.
at the same time.
These activated vines were also dragging the shrub body, slowly crawling forward.
Alan detected a reaction to the toxin.
There are also special ingredients.
All from this weird shrub!
"I say, guys..."
The little fat boy Feilin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and his voice trembled .
"Can anyone tell me what kind of monster this is?"
"It shouldn't be an ordinary activated vine." Alan murmured.
The principal's glass garden is planted with living vines, which are quite different from the one in front of us.
"I'm afraid it's Killer Ivy..."
Ingres, the most knowledgeable member of the team, muttered to himself.
At this time, the strange vine had already discovered everyone and was crawling over faster.
"Fuck you !"
Feilin couldn't help it.
He raised his hand and used the "flash magic" to illuminate the bushes instantly.
The trick that had worked in the past didn't work this time.
There is no way to stop the strange vine from approaching!
"You idiot!"
Duke swore angrily.
"Animated plants don't have organs like eyes!"
"It's no use shining a light at a weird tree!"
While scolding Fei Lin, his hands were not idle either.
Shoot out a "freeze ray" with a flick of the finger!
The ice-blue beam of light hit the strange tree, causing a faint green ripple.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There was not even a speck of frost left.
“How is this possible…?”
Duke, who was so arrogant just now, was also dumbfounded.
“Watch me!”
Feilin waved his hand and threw out a "flame arrow" that nailed the tree.
The blazing flames instantly illuminated the strange tree.
Wood is flammable.
Generally speaking, both ordinary trees and living plants are afraid of fire.
Fire magic can often cause additional damage to animated plants.
However, this rule doesn't seem to work for that strange tree!
The "flame arrow" that hit the strange tree shook a few times and then went out.
Not even a leaf was burnt!
When Alan saw this scene, he understood.
This mysterious shrub is likely to have dual resistance to fire and cold.
How high is the specific resistance?
unknown.
At least the 0-level magic of the cold and fire elements is not enough to break the defense!
The black-robed young man raised his pale hand.
A violet shock wave blasted out.
Bang!
A vine that was quietly approaching Alan was broken by the shock wave and shrank back as if it had been electrocuted!
