After waiting nervously for a few minutes, Xianyu Wei couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Teacher, how is it?"
Sun Mo shook his head. "There's no reaction."
Actually, Sun Mo wanted nothing more than for symptoms to appear. This way, he could filter through the symptoms and determine what plant it was. However, there was no reaction. He was at a loss.
After all, in this world, the majority of plants wouldn't have any reaction.
It was like the tree bark. The taste and texture were similar, but the tree it came from was different.
"System, the skill you gave me isn't good enough!"
Sun Mo grumbled.
He had already activated Divine Sight and was observing this sea of flowers. However, the displayed data was chrysanthemums. Even those butterflies were what he saw with his eyes.
"I'm not your father. Please don't count on the system for everything."
The system's voice was ice-cold, adding insult to injury.
Ding!
"Mission issued. Please leave this sea of flowers and shake off the pursuit of the enemy. After completing the mission, the reward will be a diamond treasure chest."
"Additional reward. If you kill the enemy, the reward will be doubled."
Sun Mo frowned and wanted to curse. However, he calmed down after that.
He was the leader of the group, the backbone. Hence, he had to maintain his composure at such a time.
"You guys take the time to rest. I need to think about it."
Sun Mo consoled, "Don't worry, since we're trapped in the sea of flowers, the enemy will also be unlucky if they catch up."
"Not bad, at least we're temporarily safe."
At this moment, Li Ziqi took on the responsibility of the eldest martial sister and helped Sun Mo maintain the group's mood. When she saw some people feeling nervous and afraid, she would go and console them.
However, these junior martial brothers and sisters performed very well.
...
"Ziyu, what do you think?"
Sun Mo and Mei Ziyu walked far away and discussed in low voices.
"We should have been affected by the smell released by some kind of darkness plant or some substance, causing our six senses to be affected, causing us to hallucinate."
Mei Ziyu sighed and stared into the distance. "This is the terrifying part of the Darkness Continent."
The magnificent chrysanthemum field was like a golden sea of flowers under the illumination of the setting sun. It was like an extremely beautiful painting sculpted by nature.
However, this picture scroll was poisonous.
"You have never heard of this darkness plant before?"
Li Ruolan came over.
Mei Ziyu came from a prestigious clan and had always been living in the Jixia Learning Palace. She was influenced by what she saw and heard and should have a vast amount of knowledge.
"The Darkness Continent is mysterious. Even if all the famous schools in the Nine Provinces were added together, their understanding of it would only be 30%."
Mei Ziyu explained.
"Then what should we do?"
Li Ruolan had never experienced something like this.
Based on their experience, the higher the level of the Darkness Continent, the more dangerous it would be. Although this primitive forest had suddenly appeared, since it was on the second level, there shouldn't be too much danger.
But reality was obviously not like that.
"With wisdom."
Mei Ziyu cast a glance at Li Ruolan. "Isn't this something normal? We'll definitely encounter all sorts of dangers in the Darkness Continent. We'll just have to resolve them. "
"This is also the value of a master teacher."
The people of Nine Regions all knew that in the establishment of an exploration team, it was not enough for the members to just be able to fight. They must also have talents who were proficient in various kinds of knowledge, especially botany.
For example, those top-notch exploration teams would have several high-star great teachers in different fields.
"…"
Li Ruolan thought to herself, 'Aren't you talking nonsense?
Wisdom?
These three words sounded simple, but what they represented was the accumulation of decades of knowledge and experience of a master teacher.
"Stop talking. Sun Mo is contemplating."
Murong Mingyue also came over.
Li Ruolan had no solution and could only place her hopes on Sun Mo. However, this wasn't the case for Mei Ziyu. She started to inspect the soil, plants, and butterflies to ascertain the ecological environment here.
She didn't even let the lichen fungi off.
Sun Mo was a botany expert. Hence, he understood what Mei Ziyu was doing. However, everyone lacked experimental tools and didn't have the time to act so slowly.
"I have to solve the problem from another path."
Sun Mo racked his brains and decided to sit down in the flower field. He casually plucked a chrysanthemum and played with it.
How should he break the illusion?
Usually speaking, these illusions wouldn't pose a threat to the local lifeforms. It was because regardless of whether it was the Nine Provinces or the modern era, the ecosystem definitely existed.
No lifeform could survive alone.
"In that case, can we use the same trick again? Like how we got the monkey to lead the way, we can summon a battle pet and bring us out?"
Sun Mo immediately glanced around.
This battle tactic had its drawbacks.
Firstly, he had to find a lifeform that had lived here for tens of years. After all, only an old horse would know the way. But to speak the truth, a lifeform of darkness that was filled with intelligence like that monkey was rare.
Moreover, the flower field was different from a primeval forest. There were very few lifeforms that resided here. Or rather, they basically wouldn't live in the vicinity because they sought good fortune and avoided calamity.
As expected, after Sun Mo searched for five minutes, let alone large ferocious beasts, he didn't even see a groundhog.
He couldn't possibly catch a butterfly and get it to bring them out, right?
Sun Mo felt that the chances weren't high. These butterflies might have spent their entire lives in this flower field from birth to death.
"Teacher, do you want to drink some water?"
Li Ziqi came over and passed a cup of water to Sun Mo. "I added honey."
"I'm not thirsty."
Sun Mo shook his head. After that, his spirits stirred as he stared at the cup of water in the little sunny egg's hand.
Honey?
That was right. Butterflies couldn't fly out of the flower field, but bees would definitely fly in, right? After all, there were so many bees, and there would definitely be some that flew in.
In that case, how were they going to get out?
"Pharaoh, quickly search the surroundings and see if there are any bees."
Sun Mo instructed.
Although Sun Mo didn't know what the result would be, he already had a new train of thought.
He wasn't summoning a bee and asking it to bring him out. Instead, he was thinking from the perspective of the bee itself. Why weren't they affected by the flower field?
It must have eaten something and developed antibodies.
Then what did they eat?
Sun Mo looked at the golden chrysanthemum in his hand. Those butterflies shouldn't be affected by the illusion. Also, their diet should be similar to bees, right?
So it's pollen?
Or nectar?
However, this problem was no longer important. They would eat it and give it a try. Anyway, no one would die.
Sun Mo immediately got everyone to collect these two items.
"Sun Mo, have you found a solution?"
Li Ruolan looked excited.
"No, I just had an idea."
Looking at the flowers that the Calabash Brothers had collected and processed, Sun Mo was about to eat them when his personal students stopped him.
"Teacher, let me eat it!"
"Allow me!"
"Teacher, nothing can happen to you. Why don't I test the medicine?"
Nine Calabash Brothers, fighting bravely to be the first
"You don't have enough knowledge. It's useless even if you eat it."
Sun Mo rejected.
"Teacher..."
His personal students were extremely touched and instantly contributed a wave of favorable impression points.
15 minutes later, Sun Mo, who had eaten 100 chrysanthemums, didn't show any changes.
"Failed?"
Li Ruolan sighed in her heart. "Seems like this train of thought won't work."
"Could it be that the quantity isn't enough?"
Mei Ziyu analyzed.
This was like some medicinal herbs. If the dosage wasn't enough, there would be no effect.
"I think so too."
Sun Mo spoke and looked at the little sunny egg. "Bring a beehive over."
"I'll go!"
Jiang Leng went and returned quickly.
Sun Mo cut open the beehive and drank the bees inside. There was a total of 500 grams inside.
Luckily, this beehive was big enough, or it wouldn't be enough to drink.
After that, Sun Mo looked at his pocket watch and started to wait.
This time around, a mere three minutes later, a change appeared in Sun Mo's vision. The golden flower field was still the same, but the appearance of the chrysanthemums had changed. They had also turned purple.
This time around, a thin fog permeated the air above the flower field.
Looking at the students again, their skin was green and their eyes were bloodshot. In fact, there were even some purple spots on some parts of their body. This was a sign that their skin had grown stronger.
"Quickly go and drink the honey."
Sun Mo felt a lingering fear. If he had discovered it a little later, everyone would have turned into corpses and become fertilizer for this flower field.
He had confirmed that the flower nectar was the antidote, but the amount needed was very large.
A few minutes later, the students' cries of shock rang out.
They also discovered the miserable state they were in.
Sun Mo observed for a while. Xuanyuan Po was the first to dispel the illusion, followed by Xianyu Wei. Lu Zhiruo was the last, but the symptoms on her body were lighter.
This meant that Xuanyuan Po's physique was the best.
"Thank heavens."
Li Ruolan rejoiced. "If it wasn't for you, we'd be dead for sure."
The Calabash Brothers nodded and contributed another wave of favorable impression points.
"What plant is this?"
Li Ziqi was curious.
"I don't know."
Sun Mo shook his head. The Darkness Continent was truly mysterious. From the Darkness Plant Encyclopedia that he had obtained from the system, there were several thousand types of plants recorded. There were also quite a few rare ones, but there was no such plant.
"Who cares what plant it is? In any case, with Teacher around, we'll be able to dispel it very soon."
Lu Zhiruo felt that her teacher was very impressive.
"Not bad."
Xianyu Wei hurriedly nodded.
Was this the power of wisdom?
It was too cool.
In such a situation, even if a swordsman or saber saint who could fight against an entire country came, they would also be at a loss.
Xianyu Wei suddenly didn't feel like practicing fist techniques anymore. She wanted to learn this kind of wisdom and use it to kill people. It would definitely be very cool.
"This is a land of death!"
Li Ziqi sighed ruefully.
After dispelling the illusion, everyone saw the real flower field. Other than a small number of bees and butterflies, there were no living animals at all.
They were all dead and were scattered around the flower field. Those butterflies landed on the rotting corpses and were like corpse flowers.
"There should be heavenly and earthly treasures in such a place, right?"
Ying Baiwu was eager to give it a try.
Swoosh!
Everyone looked over.
In such a place, even if there were secret treasures, they'd definitely have to risk their lives to obtain them.
"I'll get the spiritual beast to search for them!"
Sun Mo called Holy Pharaoh back and then summoned the broken bird that only knew how to drink wine. After feeding them 500 grams of honey, he told them to set off.
The broken bird couldn't be bothered to move and was kicked by Sun Mo.
"Quickly go!"
Sun Mo urged. After that, he asked for everyone's opinion, "Should we ambush that enemy?"
"That's a must!"
Tantai Yutang had always been someone who would definitely seek revenge.
"Maybe before we make a move, they might be killed by the flower field. At that time, we can just pick up the spoils of war."
Lu Zhiruo clapped. "Perfect."
