Small bumps appeared in the soil, and a worm over a meter long crawled out from the ground like an earthworm.
It was like swallows flying low and ants moving house. These were all signs of rain.
Sure enough, not long later.
Pitter patter! Pitter patter!
Bean-sized raindrops rained down from the sky. At first, it was a pitter patter, but soon, the raindrops connected and formed a dense line of rain.
Those pea-shaped man-eating flowers, after being washed by the rain, looked even more verdant.
"Damn!"
Sun Mo stood on a huge leaf, constantly whipping the beanstalk with his longsword, venting his unhappiness.
This time, he really screwed up.
Not only did he not manage to save them, but one was also captured and the other ran away.
Sun Mo had never suffered such a big loss since he started his career.
"Sun Mo, calm down."
Murong Mingyue persuaded.
The rain poured down on his body, causing his hair to stick to his cheeks.
"I understand, don't worry."
Sun Mo took a few deep breaths, forcing himself not to let his imagination run wild. He quickly calmed down and thought of a way to break out of this situation.
But right at this moment, the Man-eating Flowers in the surroundings suddenly bent down and pounced down like venomous snakes hunting for their prey.
"Be careful!"
Sun Mo dodged and swung his sword.
Zi!
The 'big mouths' of two man-eating flowers were cut open, and green juice splashed out.
Murong Mingyue also joined the fray. She destroyed the Man-eating Flowers around her to ensure her safety.
"The medicinal powder on our bodies has been washed away!"
Murong Mingyue reminded, "We have to leave this place as soon as possible."
Truly, when it rains, it pours. Without the grass, Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue didn't even have the geographical advantage. Not to mention saving people, it would be good if they could make it out of the camp safely for the second time.
"En, let's find a safe place first."
Sun Mo was just about to look around and choose a direction to leave when he heard the sound of rushing wind. He instinctively pulled Murong Mingyue and dashed out.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
Javelins shot out.
"Kill them!"
In fact, Mu Qianlin had already arrived a few minutes ago. The only reason he hadn't made a move yet was because he was waiting for the rain to fall.
At this moment, Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue were in grave danger. As the two of them fled, they had to traverse through the field of man-eating flowers. The man-eating flowers were like ferocious beasts that hadn't eaten for three years, and they pounced over one by one. A ferocious bite.
Although man-eating flowers can't move, their stems can rotate 360 degrees, so their hunting range is quite large.
Xiu! Xiu!
Behind them, javelins would occasionally fly past, disrupting their escape route.
It was a rainstorm.
Very soon, the ground became extremely muddy. It was very uncomfortable to step on it with one's shoes, and it would also reduce one's speed. Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue had no choice but to use the leaves as footholds and leap.
This way, it would be easier for the man-eating flowers to attack.
"They're waiting for us to be killed by the man-eating flowers!"
Murong Mingyue frowned.
It was impossible to counterattack, because Mu Qianlin was also present.
The other party was at least at the Longevity Realm!
"The powder on their bodies hasn't been washed away?"
Sun Mo frowned.
"They must have changed to a secret medicine that can disperse the man-eating flowers!"
Murong Mingyue was very intelligent and hit the nail on the head.
As natives who were born and raised here, they had a very deep understanding of this field of man-eating flowers. Otherwise, they wouldn't have built a camp here.
"I'll open a path!"
Sun Mo activated his Indestructible Golden Body and Dharma Skyshock Fist at the same time, smashing the man-eating flowers in front of them into pieces.
To deal with such immobile and low-intelligence opponents, the best way to deal with them was to use a cultivation art with explosive attack power.
Murong Mingyue wanted to say that if they continued like this, they would only be drinking poison to quench their thirst. After all, if their spirit qi was depleted, they wouldn't have any energy left to deal with the natives.
However, after seeing Sun Mo's calm face and clearly thinking about something, Murong Mingyue shut her mouth.
That's right!
Sun Mo didn't give up even when facing the Myriad Leaf Saint, so how could he become dispirited here?
The strong weren't just strong in terms of strength.
Mentality!
Willpower!
Sun Mo didn't have any information on these man-eating flowers in his mind, but the more books he read, the more samples he would have. He would always be able to find similar examples.
All kinds of plants were categorized and belonged to different species and genera. There were rules to follow.
Sun Mo found a few types of man-eating flowers. Their natural enemies either relied on the pollen of certain plants or the feces of certain animals to avoid being attacked.
Any ecosystem was balanced. A place with only man-eating flowers wouldn't exist because they wouldn't be able to form a food chain.
Sun Mo's gaze turned toward the Oshhi Valley.
Then, his eyes lit up.
On the ground, he could occasionally see those earthworm-like bugs rolling around in the rain. This should be the time for them to drink water and breathe.
The man-eating flowers didn't attack them. Instead, when some bugs accidentally got close, they would even move away.
"Is the secret in these bugs?"
Sun Mo guessed. He immediately used his Dragon Capturing Hand and grabbed one that was over seven meters away. Without thinking, he directly crushed it, causing fresh blood to pour over.
It was useless!
The man-eating flowers would still attack Sun Mo.
"Could it be that my deduction is wrong?"
Sun Mo continued to analyze.
These bugs lived in the Oshhi Valley. They weren't eaten by the man-eating flowers because they were like earthworms. Through their metabolism, they could increase the fertility of the soil and the ability to store water.
This was beneficial to the man-eating flowers, but it wasn't enough to be a reason for them not to be eaten. In the natural world, there were no living creatures that relied on the benevolence and charity of other living creatures to survive.
"There must be something on these bugs that I don't know!"
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and observed those bugs.
Swish!
All sorts of data immediately appeared before Sun Mo's eyes. After that, a word attracted his attention.
"Smelly sac?"
These bugs had a sac in their bodies that stored some liquid. When their natural enemies hunted them, they would spurt out the liquid.
The effect was similar to the ink sac of a squid.
"It's this thing?"
Sun Mo grabbed another bug and used his longsword to cut open its body. He took out the smelly sac and crushed it.
Pu!
Some dark-green liquid spilled out, followed by an intense stench. It was like a mixture of fermented feces, swill that had been rancid for a year, and the stench of rotting corpses of dead cats and dogs.
Ugh!
Sun Mo almost couldn't take it.
Just when Murong Mingyue wanted to ask Sun Mo what he was going to do, she saw the man-eating flowers pouncing over and immediately avoided them.
"Found it?"
Murong Mingyue's eyes lit up, and a sense of admiration rose in her heart.
Wasn't this too outstanding?
"This ability to deduce many things from one instance is really amazing!"
The system that had been observing Sun Mo sighed ruefully.
Some people only studied, while others could deduce many things from one instance. Sun Mo was the latter. Even if he didn't become a great teacher, he could still become an outstanding person in other fields.
…
Mu Qianlin was far behind, waiting for Sun Mo to be bitten by the man-eating flowers so that he could clean up the mess.
Kill them personally?
Mu Qianlin wasn't interested. His current thoughts were all on the holy land. How could he annihilate all the invaders?
"Haha, look at them jumping around like grasshoppers. How silly!"
"This direction leads to the magic beans. They probably wouldn't even dream that it's the central area of the Otaku Valley. Even if they die of exhaustion, they won't be able to escape."
"Just wait to be used as fertilizer!"
The green-skinned natives mocked. Being able to see Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue being tortured to death was also a form of entertainment.
But very soon, they couldn't remain calm anymore.
"Brother Lin, there's a situation!"
A native shouted.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Qianlin glanced forward and was stunned.
The two invaders were leaping around the flower field. Their movements were nimble and agile, and it was a beautiful sight to behold.
Of course, the main point was, why weren't the man-eating flowers attacking them?
"What happened?"
Mu Qianlin asked in shock. Even native natives like them would be attacked by the man-eating flowers if they didn't apply the secret medicine his father had given them.
"Nothing much?"
The natives had dumbfounded looks on their faces. Sun Mo had only casually killed a few bugs. From their point of view, it was just to get rid of a threat. There was no special meaning to it.
This was the difference between knowledge and intellect.
Sun Mo had already laid out the answer, but they still couldn't see it.
"Could it be that Sister Fangcao gave them the secret medicine?"
"Impossible."
The natives were all debating with one another.
On a rainy day, if there was no need, the Green Mist Natives wouldn't enter the Osho Valley. If they didn't want to be eaten by the man-eating flowers, they would have to apply a higher grade secret medicine.
And these secret medicines could only be concocted by the elders. It was said that the process was extremely complicated and exhausting. Hence, they were usually not allowed to waste them.
The rain was very heavy. The liquid that Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue had applied on their bodies was quickly diluted. There was no solution to it. The two of them could only continue to kill bugs and apply the stinky liquid on their bodies.
This time around, Mu Qianlin saw Sun Mo using a longsword to pierce through a bug, causing the stinky liquid to pour down and splash on his body.
"It's because of the stinky sac!"
Mu Qianlin's heart trembled. Given Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue's ability to suppress his younger brother, it was impossible for them to be in such a sorry state while killing a bug. This meant that they had planned this beforehand.
Coupled with the fact that the man-eating flowers didn't attack them, the answer was obvious.
Swoosh!
Mu Qianlin immediately turned his head and looked at his clansmen. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that they were still in a daze.
One must know that in the entire tribe, only his father knew how to concoct such a secret medicine. This was also one of the qualifications to become an elder.
If someone else learned it, the status of an elder would definitely be damaged.
"This can't do. We have to kill them as soon as possible."
Mu Qianlin increased his speed and chased after them. His expression turned murderous.
"Sun Mo, they've caught up … Ah!"
Murong Mingyue cried out halfway. It was because in her field of vision, there was a huge green beanstalk. It was crooked and extended upwards, directly into the dark clouds in the sky.
This … wasn't this too high?
Speaking of which, what was on top of that beanstalk?
It couldn't be the sky palace, right?
After seeing that beanstalk, Sun Mo smiled.
So what if you're in the Longevity Realm?
Today, even if a major character of the Legendary Realm came, they would still die!
A battle strategy formed in Sun Mo's mind.
