The team is full of girls who are single until retirement based on their strength

Chapter 441 Vine Cocoon

As the knights mounted the griffin and looked down from the sky, they found that the current situation seemed to be even more serious than they had imagined.

Since they had hunted down more than three Black Death Cultists in this location, their bodies would not be taken away but simply thrown randomly on the ground here. The knights only needed to take a part of their bodies as a symbol of military merit.

There was blood seeping out and seeping into the soil on the ground. The smell of blood spread out, filling the space here and spreading to further places.

The mountain cat-like monster just now was attracted by the bloody smell.

Looking down from a high place, there were still dark shadows rushing towards this side in the distance.

In the battle for these corpses, other monsters continued to die, and their corpses naturally became new prize pools that continued to accumulate.

This is very wrong.

These monsters are a little too violent.

Generally speaking, this situation also occurs in the forest.

The carnivores caught food, but when they were about to enjoy it, new carnivores came along and the two sides began to fight for it.

In the end, there will usually be a powerful monster that declares its ownership of the food, and the other carnivores will, after evaluating their own strength and that of the other party, retreat if they feel they are no match for the opponent, while those who feel they can compete will stay and fight until there is no dispute.

But generally speaking, this process does not last long, because carnivores are generally quite afraid of being hurt.

Compared to the herbivorous monsters, the former's food is on the ground and around them, and they are all immobile targets.

But carnivorous monsters are different. Once injured, their endurance and explosive power in tracking prey will be weakened.

If they fail to catch their prey, the result will be hunger.

Once hungry, they will have even less strength and will not be able to catch prey.

This will lead to an endless loop, and the consequences will be quite horrific.

Therefore, compared to herbivorous monsters, carnivorous monsters are, to some extent, more inclined to avoid fighting.

The situation below was obviously not right.

The fight was really too crazy.

The Emerald-level Green-striped Elytra Tiger came out, and other monsters dared to come forward and touch its beard.

What's happening here.

Is there something special about the corpses of the Black Death Cultists? Or is there some other reason?

The young knight who had just gone down to pick up the javelin thought of this and couldn't help but pull out the javelin he had just brought back to take a look at it.

Since blood can corrode metal, the straps for throwing spears on the griffin's back are specially made.

There will be special fur in the sheath that can absorb the blood on it. The service life of the javelin can be extended by replacing the fur regularly.

At this time he pulled out the javelin, and to his surprise, the blood on it had not been completely absorbed.

When it was pulled out, you could see a trace of blood sliding down and flowing onto the tip of the spear.

What's weird is that although it's bright red blood, there's a hint of black mist on it.

After such a long time, even if it has not been absorbed by the fur, it should have dried up.

But it wasn't, instead it was a very beautiful blood bead.

So weird.

For some reason, he actually felt that this drop of blood was quite delicious.

He couldn't help swallowing.

It was not until the griffin beneath him seemed to sense some uneasiness and shook irritably that he suddenly woke up and realized what was happening.

What's happening here.

There's something wrong with this blood!

He realized so.

But when he wanted to tell the captain, it was too late. The drop of blood was blown by the wind and fell straight down and disappeared.

How to say this?

He looked at the bag where the javelin had been inserted, and it had become extremely smelly.

Forget it.

He thought about it and put the spear back.

Those guys are cultists.

Isn't it normal for there to be something strange in the blood?

That blood stinks too much.

vomit.

He thrust the javelin back, at least blocking the smell.

Never mind, I think it should be fine.

Thinking of this, he swallowed back what he was about to say.

Let’s go, we have to catch up with the team in front.

As he thought this, he drove the griffin under him forward.

In places they didn't notice, the blood from the bodies of the dead Black Death cultists continued to flow, seeping into the soil below and then flowing into the deeper rituals.

They really aren't good at fighting.

But he is definitely an expert at arranging rituals.

Even if it means using one's own flesh and blood as fuel.

If we could look at it from God's perspective, right in the middle of the ritual is the mysterious spring in the forest.

They all tried desperately to reach that location.

But no.

It seemed as if an invisible force blocked their steps, making them stop dozens of miles away from the spring.

It seemed like a restricted area.

As to why this happened, I'm afraid no one knows except the instigator.

......

---------------------

In the forest.

Someone is running very fast.

There, just get there!

Thinking this, he ran for his life.

As long as I reach that place, I will be able to offer my remaining body for my God.

After death, one can ascend to the kingdom of God and enjoy bliss forever.

There was no way he could refuse this.

rush!!!!!

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the last bit of his strength.

There was a riot in the forest just now. It was the monsters having a party.

He was nearly torn to pieces by those monsters.

But fortunately, in the end, he tore off one of his arms in time, threw it away, and attracted the monsters away.

You didn't expect this to be my escape route!

You are worthy of being my God!

After giving myself the blessing, even my blood became so sweet. I dare not imagine what the scene will be like after ascending to the kingdom of God.

As he thought about this, a hint of excitement appeared on the corner of his mouth.

As for the pain from his broken arm, it was completely suppressed by his enthusiasm.

Rush!

The knights couldn't catch up, and victory was at hand!

He thought so excitedly.

However, something unexpected happened.

A vine quickly stretched out and tied him up.

The vine had barbs on it, which pierced into his body and absorbed his blood.

what's the situation? !

Do not!don't want!

I will also ascend to the Kingdom of God!

he thought in horror.

But it's too late.

The strength in his body was rapidly draining away, and at the end of his life, he saw the scene nearby.

The surrounding area is filled with dense, vine-wrapped cocoon-like things, which seem to be where spiders store food.

The next moment, the sight fell into darkness.

......

......

"Fufu, what are you doing? Come here quickly."

Hearing the man calling her, Fudan's brows relaxed and she walked towards that direction with a faint smile.

"What were you doing over there just now?" Caesar asked curiously when she came over.

"Nothing, I was just picking mushrooms over there."

Fudan said so.

She showed Xi Ze the results of her work.

What a big mushroom, bigger than Fudan’s fist.

It is a white mushroom, without any other extra colors. It is a very beautiful, pearl-like white, the so-called colorful white.

The mushroom stem is curved, with some golden whiskers on it, shining brightly and looking quite beautiful.

“What kind of mushroom is this?”

Caesar asked patiently.

As for mushrooms, he only knew a few that could be used as ingredients for potions, and knew nothing about the others.

"This is the White Star Shimmer Mushroom. I've only seen it in the Elf Forest before. I didn't expect it to grow here too."

Fudan introduced it like this.

"This is a very valuable mushroom. In my hometown, every time the caravan goes out to trade, we will bring this mushroom."

"As long as we dry them, we can carry a lot at one time. When we want to sell them, we just need to soak them in water and they will be ready to go."

"After soaking it in water, it will be much heavier and can be sold at a good price."

"That's it."

Xi Ze had a look on his face that showed he had learned something: "Soaking them in water and selling them to make more money, what a dishonest businessman."

"Bah, you are the profiteer, your whole family is profiteers."

Fudan poked Caesar with her hand in annoyance: "Go away, I don't want to talk to you."

"No."

Caesar stopped Fudan who was about to leave:

"Fufu is right. I am a profiteer. Fufu is my family. We are both profiteers, okay?"

"It's a profiteer couple."

He said so.

"What a mess."

Fudan felt that this guy was like a child sometimes.

Come to think of it, I can also hear people saying “Men are always children” back home.

She used to not understand it.

But now she is gradually beginning to understand a little bit.

When he was in the team before, Xi Ze obviously didn't have this kind of personality.

how to say.

In fact, nothing has changed.

But compared to before, he is much more reserved.

Since everyone in the team was a girl, he was the only man.

There are many things that are not good to tell him, and he also has many things that are not good to tell himself and others.

Although they would joke around and everyone had a good relationship, in the past, Xi Ze still cared a lot about his image.

I feel like I am in a state of being relaxed, yet not quite relaxed.

If I have to describe it, they are like grown-up siblings.

The relationship between the two will be very good and intimate, and it will be okay even if they drink water from the same cup, eat with knives and forks used by others, or even wash clothes together.

But some things still need to be avoided. After all, boys have grown up and need face.

But now it's different.

Although we had a very good relationship before and were a close family.

But now the feeling is even more different.

The favorability level is already full and there is no way to change it.

It’s just that the type of favorability has changed.

From one feeling to another.

I became more outspoken and dared to say a lot of things.

If I could describe it a little more...

So that's... a couple?

She remembered what Caesar had just said, "the profiteer couple."

Her heart seemed to skip a beat for no apparent reason.

"So, Mr. Fudan, how do you identify this kind of mushroom?"

Caesar listened attentively.

Teacher Fudan?

"Want to know?"

Fudan glanced at him.

"Hmmmm, let me think about it."

Caesar nodded.

He is a good student.

"Then I will teach you reluctantly."

Fudan said this with a raised corner of her mouth.

"Look carefully, look at its cap and pole."

She gestured, "The umbrella cap is large and full, pearly white, and has a faint colorful sheen under the sunlight."

"The growth of the pole is in a spiral direction, and it rotates more than two and a half times from the connection with the umbrella cap to the root of the ground. You can feel it by touching it with your hand."

She handed the White Star Shimmer Mushroom in her hand to Caesar.

"Here, feel it and see."

she gestured.

"Oh."

Caesar obediently touched and pinched it.

"I let you touch the pole, where did you touch?" Fudan said.

"Uh, Fufu's hands are so beautiful, I couldn't help it."

Caesar said so.

This time I didn't play any weird things, I just felt it carefully.

It is indeed a spiral growing rod.

"Another important thing is the roots underneath. They are golden in color, like the aerial roots of a tree. They won't break even if you pull them hard. But if you cut them with a knife, that's another story. The roots here are also the most valuable part of the White Star Shimmer Mushroom."

Caesar reached out and pulled.

Torn apart.

"...I didn't ask you to pull so hard."

Fudan said.

With the power of a legendary warrior, he could tear off the roots of any mushroom if he wanted to.

"Okay, now that we've talked about identification, what effects does this mushroom have?"

Caesar took the golden roots in his hand and looked at them carefully.

"Is it edible?" This is the question he cares most about.

It is engraved in his biological instinct.

Mushrooms should only be divided into two types.

One is that you will see Tai Nai after eating it, and the other is that you will not see Tai Nai after eating it...

Pooh.

There are things that can be eaten and things that cannot be eaten.

"It's edible, but..."

Before Fudan finished her words, Caesar heard the word "edible" and put the root in his hand into the stream, washed it casually, and put it into his mouth.

"Hmm, it tastes pretty good, but a little dry. No wonder it has to be sold soaked in water. It should taste much better that way."

As he chewed, he said, "This kind of magic mushroom usually has special medicinal effects, right? What are these effects?"

Caesar wasn't worried about getting an upset stomach at all.

The stomach of a legendary warrior is stronger than an iron stomach.

There is no such thing as having a stomachache.

Fudan didn't expect him to move so quickly, so she ate it right away.

She had originally intended to cook it into soup later.

There is a similar ancient recipe recorded in the Forest of Elves. It is said that the effect will be better if it is cooked and then paired with other things.

"Effect..." Fudan hesitated and still didn't say it.

"You'll find out later."

Cook it first.

He only ate a little, so he shouldn't have a reaction so quickly, right?

Should...right?

By the way, when I was looking for something, I saw some energy supplements in that guy’s bag. Should I add that stuff in when the time comes?
