The fight between the vines had reached its climax.
Lin Mengya grasped the powder in her hand with a serious expression.
The ghost vine was a completely unknown and dangerous plant for her.
Therefore, she could only use her previous experience and the simulation results of the system to judge the next move of the ghost vine.
"Master, I found something similar to this plant in the music score for the green stringed instrument! But it doesn't say that this plant will devour each other when it blooms! "
Xiaoyao's voice came from the system.
Lin Mengya looked at the information sent by Xiaoyao.
"Rose jade is different from ordinary roses. It is often used to decorate tombs. It can survive in a dark environment. With sufficient nutrients, it can climb all over the coffin in a few days and form a coffin made of roses. Because the thorns contain poison and the pollen has hallucinogenic effects, it is often used by men as a way to guard their wives' tombs. "
Except for the hallucinogenic effects of the pollen and the ability to grow quickly with sufficient nutrients, this damn thing was not similar to roses at all, was it?
"Xiaoyao, are you sure these two things belong to the same genus of plants?"
Xiaoyao was silent for a moment and then showed her two pictures.
"The one on the left is the restoration picture I made according to the records of rose jade, and the one on the right is the picture of the ghost vine. You can compare them."
It was better than not knowing.
Although the ghost vine was much thicker, whether it was the leaves or the thorns, they were indeed somewhat similar to the restoration picture of rose jade.
"Could it be a coincidence? Or a mutation or something? "
Among the flowers, she liked roses the most. Her family knew that and had collected many varieties for her.
Therefore, she could guarantee that the ghost vine in front of her was definitely not rose jade!
Xiaoyao could not guarantee it.
"Indeed, the habits of the ghost vine should be very different from rose jade. But master, the records mentioned that rose jade has another function besides guarding tombs. It is said that rose jade can bear fruit if it has sufficient nutrients. "
"What fruit?"
"The fruit of rose jade mostly grows in coffins. If you can get one and put it into the mouth of the dead, it can keep the body from rotting for years. There is another legend that the fruit of rose jade is actually the soul of the dead. If a woman consumes it and becomes pregnant, she will be the reincarnation of the deceased. "
Just as Xiao Yao was quickly transmitting the information to her, the flowers fighting on the Ghost Vine started to move again.
Apart from the first flower, there were a few other flowers with thick vines that survived as well.
Unexpectedly, they gradually stopped nibbling at the other flower buds.
The flowers that were left behind began to sway gently.
Those sharp tooth-like thorns quickly fell off, and then, snow-white petals were revealed!
Lin Mengya was stunned.
Although she was very far away, she could see very clearly.
Those at the top were really roses!
"It seems like your guess is correct."
Whether it was a variant or a close relative, the Ghost Vine and Rose Jade were indeed related.
But in the next moment, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
If Yu Qiangwei could bear fruit, what about the Ghost Vine?
Also, should she make a move now?
Otherwise, if they waited for the Ghost Vine Flower to wither, who knew what would happen.
While she was in a dilemma, the man in red and his subordinates had already arrived at the root of the Crimson Flower.
It was a secret underground chamber in the Sheng family's mansion.
A haggard man who didn't even look human was tied to the ground by countless vines.
His legs were kneeling, and the vines that extended from his knees were deeply rooted in the ground.
Because of the growth of the vines, he could never put his hands down.
It was as if his entire body was firmly fixed by the vines, like a strange vase that grew with the vines.
When he heard their footsteps, the man opened his eyes and looked at them.
"Tsk, how ugly."
The woman shook her head, her face full of disgust.
But then, she gently stroked the vines of the Crimson Flower as if she was caressing a lover.
"Master, I've never seen it so happy! It seems that you made the right choice. This flower needs to be fertilized to grow quickly. What's the point of fighting with the sacred tree? In any case, the Tree of God is already half-dead. "
The man in red did not look at Elder Sheng.
Although he did not answer the woman, it was clear that he was thinking the same thing.
He reached out to touch the vines, and in the next instant, he bent two fingers and stabbed them into the vines.
The thick vines suddenly shuddered. Then, as if in pain, they struggled to break free of the man's hand.
But the man narrowed his eyes. The woman beside him grinned and sprinkled some powder around the roots of the vines.
The vines suddenly stopped moving.
But the man who was being used as a vase opened his mouth silently, his face even more contorted as if he was in extreme pain.
"Alright, you've done what my master ordered. You've done well. I'll let you and this Crimson Flower become my master. "
The coquettish woman's voice was pleasant to the ears.
But what she said was enough to make anyone tremble.
The man's fingers were still stuck in the vines, looking for something.
Outside, Lin Mengya found that the vines, which had been quiet just a moment ago, suddenly began to dance wildly.
She was startled, thinking that something had happened.
But then, the ghost vines suddenly straightened, as if they had received sufficient nourishment.
Lin Mengya, who had no idea what was happening in the roots, thought that the vines had received new nourishment.
This could not be allowed!
If she allowed the ghost vines to grow freely, they might not be able to control them.
She made a prompt decision to act immediately.
She took a few steps outside and dropped a bottle.
The powder in the bottle was more than double the previous one.
As soon as it touched the air, it turned into blood water, becoming the silent invitation of the vines.
Lin Mengya had confirmed the route back and forth. The guards followed her, and they moved very quickly.
The characteristics of the vines were that they were fast, agile, and unpredictable.
Therefore, she had to choose more luring tactics in order to lure more of the Ghost Rattan's vines over.
Fortunately, she had a good grasp of the timing.
What the man in red and his men had used on the ghost vines was a kind of anesthetic.
Although this thing worked on the ghost vines, it would give them the illusion that it was energy.
In this way, once the anesthetic effect was over, the ghost vines would feel hungry. Because its body relied on energy to divide more vines, the deceived ghost vines must replenish their energy in the shortest time possible.
What she's using is really good, but because of the anesthetic.
However, because of the anesthetic, the ghost vines would not react for a while, which greatly strengthened her safety.
When she finished the arrangement as quickly as possible and was safely brought back to the small courtyard by the guards, the vines on the Sheng family's side finally found that they had been deceived.
The smell of blood was particularly tempting at this time.
Lin Mengya adjusted her detection system to the highest, and then she heard the sound of the ghost vines constantly breaking out of the ground.
"Coming!"
She shouted in a low voice, and in an instant, everyone was ready to go.
Countless ghost vines raised their vines and greedily sucked the fake blood left by her.
It was the first time for everyone to face the ghost vines.
When they saw the main vine, which was as thick as a human body, they couldn't help but feel shocked.
Could this thing really be some kind of monster?
Even Lin Mengya was surprised. How could such a thick main vine be attracted?
She didn't know that in fact, all the energy would be supplied to the main vine first, and then the main vine would act as the distributor and distribute the energy to each branch.
This time, the main vine lost the most energy, so the main vine came to "replenish".
They didn't know that this was a Feast at Hongmen!
The vines were getting closer and closer. Seeing that the thorny vines were about to reach them, they still calmed down and determined whether there was a way to gather more ghost vines in their position.
Lin Mengya felt her scalp go numb.
Just at the moment when the ghost vines were about to touch her, she gave an order first.
"Light the fire!"
In an instant, a strong smell of kerosene was poured on the vines.
Then, there was the already lit match.
Without exception, thick smoke was rising from all the places.
The ghost vines were most afraid of fire.
However, it had never expected that the thing it feared the most would one day burn on its body.
The crackling sound hit everyone's heart.
After all, the vines were vines. They didn't scream, but they made a sound when they struggled.
Sparks flew everywhere, and even she could feel the rolling heat waves. Her hair had turned yellow, but like the guards, none of them retreated.
"Madam, I've successfully ignited it."
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the movement from afar.
It seemed that they had succeeded!
"Okay, let's retreat."
Lin Mengya tore a piece of cloth to cover her face.
The ghost vines had been completely ignited. What they needed to do now was to safely withdraw from the Sheng family's city.
As for the survivors who might be hiding elsewhere, they would soon find that this place had become relatively safer.
She had led her men to check all the routes that they had passed through to make sure that no one was there.
The rest would depend on their own luck.
The fire was burning, and black smoke rose to the sky.
When Lin Mengya retreated, she couldn't help looking in the direction of the Sheng family's mansion.
First, she sighed, and second, she was worried that the vines were not dead.
It seemed that she had to come in again after the fire.
At least, she could only be at ease when she was sure that the ghost vines were really burned to death.
But she didn't expect that two figures came out of the depths of the fire.
