Chapter 863: Enchanting Flower Fragrance
"Brother Fei! Can you take me with you?" Ma Yun's eyes were full of eagerness.
She noticed that the direction from which the fragrance of flowers came was exactly the direction from which the gray unicorn rabbit had escaped just now. She was worried that the rabbit was in danger, so she wanted to follow and see what happened.
"Okay, let's go together." Gao Fei readily agreed.
The five-member team left the camp.
Tang Ning was afraid that her companions would lose their minds again due to the fragrance of flowers, so she sang "Song of Calming" while hurrying on the road.
She also reconfigured her free specialty and specially changed to "Sounds of Lingering".
If an accident occurred during the expedition, Tang Ning had to stop singing. "Sounds of Lingering" could make the special effects of "Song of Calming" last for 9 rounds, which was enough for everyone to deal with the crisis during this period.
Pep took the turkey and walked in front of the team to explore the way.
It was late at night, and the full moon was once again covered by dark clouds. It could rain at any time.
Under the cover of dark clouds and trees, the visibility in the forest was very poor.
Ma Yun and Gao Fei both used the "Dancing Light Technique" to jointly create eight balls of light that flew around the expedition team, but the light they provided was not enough for everyone to see the grass and trees in the forest.
Fortunately, the turkey is good at echolocation. It makes a low hum after taking two steps, tilts its head, and uses the skull helmet on its head to receive the reflected infrasound waves to detect the area outside the light.
Under the leadership of the turkey, everyone struggled through the dense bushes.
After walking for about six or seven minutes, a black shadow jumped out of the bushes in front. It was the horned rabbit that had just mistakenly entered the camp.
"Wow! Little rabbit! See you again!" Ma Yun cheered in surprise.
The horned rabbit seemed not to hear her call, and jumped forward without looking back, and disappeared in the depths of the bushes in a blink of an eye.
Ma Yun hurriedly chased after it.
Gao Fei and others also quickened their pace.
After passing through the bushes in front, the vegetation became obviously sparse.
In the low grass, a tall plant with lush branches and leaves stood out, like a pitcher plant magnified a thousand times.
Green vines hung down from the branches, and the tips of the vines were connected with swollen bottle-shaped organs, and the leaves covering the bottle mouth were tilted upwards.
There were a total of ten bottle-shaped organs surrounding the mutant plant, all more than one meter long, with a diameter of about two feet wide, and the bottom of the bottle almost hanging to the ground, like a string of huge wind chimes.
The bottle seemed to be filled with liquid, swaying in the wind, making a sound of water, and exuding a fascinating floral fragrance.
The gray unicorn rabbit was attracted by the enchanting fragrance emitted by this giant mutant pitcher plant, and ran straight to a bottle-shaped insect sac, supported the ground with its hind feet, stood up, and stretched its neck to sniff the fragrance emitted from the bottle mouth.
This naive little guy couldn't stand the sweet temptation, and suddenly jumped up and landed above the bottle mouth more than one meter above the ground.
The horned rabbit tried to gain a foothold on the leaves, then poked its head into the bottle mouth and licked the sweet honey.
Unexpectedly, the leaves under its feet suddenly deflected!
The horned rabbit, whose feet lost support, fell into the bottle involuntarily.
It kicked its four legs in panic, trying to grab the bottle wall and climb out of the trap.
However, the inside of the bottle wall was very smooth and secreted a layer of syrup-like oil. It had no place to gain leverage, and finally slid all the way to the bottom of the bottle and fell into the honey pool with a plop.
At the same time, the leaves on the top of the bottle-shaped insect trap slowly closed, sealing the bottle mouth tightly.
Even if the horned rabbit struggled to climb out of the honey pool, it was unable to push open the leaves at the bottle mouth and escape the trap.
The liquid secreted by the nectar glands of the mutant pitcher plant is both a sweet bait and a corrosive digestive fluid.
The unicorn rabbit trapped in the cage, with most of its body soaked in sticky digestive fluid, would not last for two hours before being corroded into pus and blood, with no bones left.
Fortunately, it was lucky and a savior came at the critical moment.
Xiao Ma was the first to catch up, aiming his gun at the four-meter-high mutant pitcher plant opposite and pulling the trigger.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit the thick stem of the mutant pitcher plant, blowing a big hole and splashing juice.
Plants have no pain nerves, but after mutation, they have gained 1 point of intelligence attribute, and they still have the stress response of seeking benefits and avoiding harm.
After the mutant pitcher plant was shot, it immediately twisted its rhizome, and the dozen or so bottle-shaped capture capsules hanging on the branches also flew wildly like a revolving lantern.
Gao Fei, Tang Ning and Pep caught up, stood side by side with Ma Yun, pointed their guns at the mutant pitcher plant, and did not shoot immediately for fear of accidentally injuring the unicorn rabbit trapped in one of the insect-catching capsules.
"Which insect sac swallowed the unicorn rabbit?" Jiang Feng asked Ma Yun.
"Sister Feng! It's so dark, how can I see clearly!"
Ma Yun stamped her feet anxiously.
"Let me try."
Brother Pep turned and whistled at the turkey.
The turkey understood the owner's intention and made a series of low gurgling sounds, using infrasound to detect all the bottle-shaped insect sacs. According to the slight difference in the echo frequency, it can analyze which bottle is hollow and which bottle contains living things.
After some detection, the turkey already had a clear idea in mind. It took a big step and ran to the mutant pitcher plant, accurately found the bottle-shaped insect sac that trapped the unicorn rabbit, grabbed the vines connecting the bottle body, and twisted it off at the root!
Plop!
The insect sac lost its suspension and fell on the grass.
The turkey picked it up and turned to throw it towards Pep.
The mutant pitcher plant was trembling with anger after the big rooster took away its prey. It threw out its vines and tried to entangle the turkey.
Bang!
Gao Fei's palm blasted out a blue-purple shock wave!
After the horned rabbit was rescued by the turkey, Ma Yun fired without hesitation and fired a "No. 2 bullet"!
The "Magic Energy Explosion" strengthened by the "Magic Energy Spear" and "Repulsive Magic Explosion" first hit the mutant pitcher plant, causing 15 points of force field damage to it and adding a strong collision.
Generally speaking, the person hit by the magic energy explosion will be blown away at least 10 feet and fall to the ground.
However, the roots of the mutant pitcher plant are deeply rooted in the soil, and the lower body is extremely stable. Unless there is a hurricane-level external force pulling, it is possible to uproot it and knock it to the ground.
Gao Fei's "Magic Energy Explosion" and the No. 2 bullet infused with "Thunder Wave" fired by Ma Yun are far from the strength of a hurricane. They successively hit the mutant pitcher plant and shook it violently, but could not make it break away from the soil.
Fortunately, the attacks of the two successfully interrupted the movement of the mutant pitcher plant.
The flaming chicken took the opportunity to run away from the mutant pitcher plant, pulling away 10 meters, and spewed out a mouthful of flames.
The mutant pitcher plant was engulfed by the flames, and a large area of its branches and leaves were scorched.
After being hit repeatedly, the mutant pitcher plant was already seriously injured, and its roots in the soil could not move quickly. It could not escape even if it wanted to, so it had to fight back desperately.
The monster encyclopedia did not include the data of the mutant pitcher plant. Gao Fei and others did not understand its fighting style. For safety reasons, they hid in the distance and attacked with pistols and spells.
