The tree really looked like a crooked umbrella. Even the branches and leaves were dense and fluffy like a canopy. However, the trunk was too crooked and looked like a screw.
Within 15 meters of the tree, not a single blade of grass grew. There was only a dark green vine that clung to the tree. The leaves were shaped like sharp blades, and there were a few red flowers the size of a fist that bloomed sporadically. The petals were golden and looked like flowing liquid. Among them, there were two green fruits the size of a fingernail that hung on the vine in the shape of water droplets.
Shao Qing noticed and Mao San's eyes immediately lit up. He quickly walked forward but stopped after two steps. There were dangers everywhere in the forest, especially around the important plants. There were definitely mutated beasts guarding them.
Perhaps the plants themselves were very dangerous. Mao San did not dare to be careless. If he failed at the last step and even lost his life, wouldn't that be an unjust death?
He called one of his subordinates over and let him go forward to test the waters. The subordinate was very brave and walked forward cautiously until he reached the bottom of the tree. There was no danger.
The lackey turned around and looked at Third Brother Mao. Third Brother Mao immediately signaled for him to pick the fruit. The lackey nodded and stretched out his hand. Before his fingertips could touch the fruit, he screamed and fell to his knees. The rest of the people looked carefully and saw a palm-sized scorpion on the ground. Its stinger had already pierced through the lackey's shoe and into his flesh.
The subordinate twitched on the ground and his skin slowly turned green. After a while, it returned to its normal color and lay on the ground motionless.
The others didn't dare to approach. A smart person picked up a stone and threw it over. When the stone hit the underling, his body was like a balloon that had been filled with water. With a pop, a hole appeared in his body. Pus and blood flowed out. In just a few seconds, there was only a pool of pus and a piece of skin left on the ground.
The rest of the people's faces turned green. What kind of poison was this? It could melt a person's bones and organs into pus and blood in an instant.
Old Mao San gritted his teeth and threw out a wind blade. The wind blade easily cut the scorpion on the ground into two halves.
If they looked carefully, they would find that the scorpion came out from the ground. Mao the Third was smart this time. He asked the earth paranormals to harden the ground, and then he led the others to walk over carefully. The group of people slowly approached the big tree. Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue stood behind them and didn't move.
Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue were not. What Shao Qing and Yan Qiyue needed to do now was to stand there and wait until Shao Qing's men were almost all dead. Then, they would go and pick up the spoils.
Just as Shao Qing and the others expected, as soon as the group approached the tree, countless vines ignored the hardened ground and drilled out of the ground. When they drilled out, a group of scorpions came out with them.
Those scorpions saw people and jumped on them. Mao the Third could cut a piece of them with a wind blade, but there were too many scorpions. They drilled out of the ground in a dense way. With the vines harassing them, it was inevitable that some people would be stung by their tails.
Anyone who was stung by the scorpion's tail would turn into a puddle of blood and pus within a minute. It had to be said that the scorpion had no attack power other than its venom. However, its venom was incurable.
There was probably medicine that could save them, but those who were poisoned had no chance to take it.
Speed-type and speed-type paranormals had it the worst. Those nature-type paranormals could cover themselves with earth and fire shields, but those who specialized in physical evolution could only scurry away like rats.
