Chapter 20 Poisonous insects

According to Moose’s conjecture, if there is a magic plant here, it is extremely likely that it is a magic plant that increases the speed of cultivation.

The reason is simple, because there are relatively few rage mana here, that is to say, this kind of magic plant can absorb the rage mana in the filtered air, and the potion refined by this kind of magic plant will also inherit this characteristic. Can absorb violent mana.

When using Mana Resonance to cultivate mana, a small amount of Rage Mana will inevitably be introduced into the body. If you take this potion while practicing, you can quickly clear the Rage Mana before the Rage Mana erodes the body. This improves Cultivating speed and strengthening body strength have great benefits!

But there is one more point. Now that humans know this, beasts that are more sensitive to the environment can understand this benefit by instinct alone. Once a magic plant appears in the wild, there will definitely be a powerful beast occupying the area where the magic plant is located, almost with no exceptions!

So this open area in front of me is obviously the territory of some kind of powerful beast.

Angela stared at Moss eagerly, and said crisply, “Moos, let’s go find Mozhi!”

Moos originally wanted to go around this area, but looking at the look in the eyes of Renault and Angela, and considering Renault’s mysterious ability, he nodded in agreement after hesitating for a while.

Moose drew the epee and whispered: “Follow me, don’t go far!” Then he walked carefully through the dense bushes.

Renault and Angela followed Moose closely, scanning around as they walked, hoping to find the trace of Mozhi.

Without the shelter of the tall trees, the shrubs here grew extremely luxuriant, and under the deterrence of the “lord” here, it seemed that even herbivores would not dare to enter here, and there was almost no trace of the vegetation being eaten.

There is also a strange place. The three of them walked for a few minutes, but they didn’t even see many small insects.

At this moment, Moose screamed, with obvious pain in his voice. He took two steps back abruptly and almost ran into Angela who couldn’t dodge behind him.

He turned his head and looked at his left arm, inserted the epee in his right hand on the ground, quickly took off the water bottle hanging around his waist, pulled out the stopper with his teeth, and poured the water in the water bottle onto his left arm.

The girl asked with concern: “Moos, what’s wrong with the arm?” Renault also looked over nervously.

Moose said in a deep voice, “It’s okay! I was scratched by the leaves of the bush just now, and the leaves seem to be poisonous! You guys, too…”

The girl immediately said, “Let me look at your hand!” There was an unquestionable rejection in her voice.

Moos reluctantly put down the water bottle and showed her the wound on his arm. He saw that the leather armor on his left arm had been damaged, and his clothes had been torn. Looking through the damage, a dark spot appeared on his skin!

Within a short time after the skin touched the leaves, the skin was burnt to black!

Renault’s eyes condensed when he saw it, it was obviously a corrosion injury!

And it is extremely corrosive, just like the skin is dripped with concentrated sulfuric acid, the epidermal tissue has been oxidized to dehydration and black!

Angela took off the backpack, rummaged in it, and quickly took out two long strips of cloth. The girl’s light blue eyes looked at Renault: “Renault, disinfect!”

Moose asked suspiciously: “How to disinfect? ​​My arm does not need to be disinfected!”

Angela explained softly: “It is disinfecting the cloth tape… No, it is the bandage! Renault said that there will be some bad things on the unsterilized bandage, which can not be seen by the eyes, and it will infect the wound…”

When she and Renault were hiding in the tree, Renault popularized a lot of knowledge about wound care to the girl. Unexpectedly, the girl remembered it firmly and quietly prepared a lot of bandages.

When she was speaking, Renault took the bandage, the [Reverse Heat Conduction] rune array in the soul space flashed, and the temperature of the air near the bandage dropped sharply.

Then a corner in the rune array flashed again, and the phase change occurred!

Water vapor quickly condenses and liquefies, forming a large amount of moisture. The cloth tape wets at a speed visible to the naked eye. After the bandage is completely soaked, the temperature begins to rise sharply, and the water on the surface of the bandage instantly becomes hot.

In the absence of medical alcohol, high temperature disinfection is the most convenient and effective method. With the help of [reverse heat conduction], the process of high temperature disinfection is incredibly fast.

Renault shook the cloth tape slightly and said, “Alright!” Then he threw the bandage to Angela.

As soon as his words fell, a miraculous thing happened, and the water marks on the cloth tape quickly evaporated, and it became completely dry in the blink of an eye.

Angela grabbed the bandage and wrapped the wound with the bandage very skillfully. Seeing her movements, I’m afraid she practiced bandageing in private.

Reynolds carefully looked at the shrub that scratched Moose and found that this shrub was very different from other places. Its leaves were very thick, and the edges were quite sharp, almost like a blade. No wonder Moose was cut through the skin.

In addition, there is an undetectable film on the surface of the leaves, which slightly reflects light in the sun. This strange scene immediately caught his attention.

Renault cautiously approached the past and circled the bush. He quickly discovered that not all leaves had this kind of film on the surface. Most of the outer leaves were covered with the film, but the inner leaves were almost absent.

He frowned and cut off a corner of his clothes with a dagger and placed it on a leaf with a thin film. As soon as the corner of his clothes touched the thin film, it started to slowly carbonize and turn black!

Reynolds checked the other bushes again and found that the same situation existed. His heart was shocked and his face became difficult to look.

Obviously, the leaves themselves are non-toxic, but the film on the leaves is poisonous!

And this bush is a poisonous forest!

No wonder there are no signs of gnawing on the bushes, because gnawing on the leaves here is no different from suicide.

No wonder small insects are rarely seen here, because most of the insects who dare to come here are poisoned, and those who dare to move here are not afraid of poisoning.

To make matters worse, this highly corrosive film on the leaves was not formed naturally, but was sprayed on!

So who did all this?

The answer is ready to come out, except for the monster occupying this territory, there will be no second possibility!

Renault is also sure that this monster must be some kind of large and highly poisonous insect!

According to what he learned, this ability to spray strong corrosive liquids is unlikely to evolve from mammals, because teeth and claws are more efficient hunting methods than toxins and can kill large prey faster.

Only in insects can such weird guys easily appear.

This area is so huge that if you want to spray all the bushes with corrosive liquid, God knows how much liquid needs to be sprayed, so the ability of poisonous insects to synthesize venom is probably very amazing.

Its purpose is also obvious, it is to prevent any animals from approaching the magic plant!

Thinking of this, Renault turned his head and said: “I understand what our opponent is… We’d better wrap up the bare parts of our bodies…”
