Chapter 591 Nearly Died
For a full two weeks, the two of them acted like two monsters who only knew how to eat.
Traveling consumes energy, and hunger sets in quickly. When hungry, they have to stop and find food, leading to a vicious cycle where their income doesn't cover their expenses. The more they try to travel, the less likely they are to reach their destination.
Over the past two weeks, the environment in the mountains has been subtly changing.
Perhaps just by resting in one place for two hours, the surrounding plants can grow into a completely different scene.
The terrain map displayed on the wristbands was increasingly different from reality, and finding their way was exhausting for both of them.
Later, they encountered more and more animals of various kinds. When the insects were plentiful, they almost devoured the two of them.
Fortunately, an antidote was found within five steps. They found an herb, crushed it, and applied the juice to their exposed skin and clothing. The insects that had been drawn by the smell of meat receded like a tide.
However, this was followed by the toxicity and side effects of the herbs. Hui was unconscious for an hour, while Wu Wei was unconscious for a full three hours.
After Hui woke up, he saw traces of wild beasts nearby, but for some reason did not attack them.
He had no choice but to carry Wu Wei on his back and find a secluded place to spend the night in the dark.
The next day at dawn, the two men saw several traces left by bears surrounding their hideout.
This also reflects the special effect of that herb, whose scent can effectively repel wild beasts.
At this point, Hui also took out the aromatherapy sticks they carried with them and showed them to Leng Yuexiu and Su Jiancheng.
In addition, the image of the plant was displayed using holographic projection on the terminal device.
Leng Yuexiu frowned as he examined the specially made aromatherapy stick, deftly snapping it back into the metal device and sealing all the pores.
He fiddled with the 360-degree landscape in the holographic projection, then his gaze settled on Gray, as if confirming something.
Seeing his boss looking at him with that expression, Hui couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. "Boss, what's wrong?"
Su Jiancheng zoomed in on the plant's details, saying uncertainly, "The details of these leaves look somewhat like those of an arrow poison tree..."
Bai Mengyan wasn't very familiar with the types and uses of plants, so she subconsciously asked, "What is arrow poison tree?"
Su Jiancheng repeatedly zoomed in and out of the model, her face showing uncertainty. "Hey, that's strange. It doesn't quite look like it. It also has characteristics of another strain. It can't be a fusion, can it?"
He looked at Bai Mengyan and explained, "The arrow poison tree is a poisonous plant that can kill with blood. Just 30 milligrams of its sap can take down a rhinoceros of a ton."
Bai Mengyan's eyes widened in surprise; a rhinoceros is much heavier than a human.
Moreover, the dosage of toxins is usually proportional to body weight; the heavier the body, the greater the required dose.
If that's the case, then the amount that adults can tolerate is even less.
Thinking of this, Bai Mengyan also looked at Hui with surprise. If it really was arrow poison tree, then it was unbelievable that Hui and Wu Wei were still alive and had only been unconscious for a few hours.
Leng Yuexiu placed his hand on Hui's shoulder. "Don't resist."
After being reminded, Leng Yuexiu's wind-type superpower flowed into Hui's body through his hand, and the energy probe gradually deepened.
Gray felt a weight on his shoulder, accompanied by a warm sensation flowing through his body. As this force penetrated, the warmth gradually cooled and became icy.
Not long after, Leng Yuexiu withdrew his probing hand and unconsciously sighed.
"The accumulated toxins indicate a serious poisoning problem, and it seems your abilities haven't fully developed yet, and you're still using them at the level of awakening. Once the information synchronization is complete, we should give you both a proper treatment."
Hui was stunned for a long time. He had too many questions to ask: How did Leng Yuexiu do it? How could he be sure that he had been poisoned for a long time? And what did it mean that his superpower had not yet formed a system?
Is his ability to communicate with animals not a special talent?
Leng Yuexiu zoomed in on the still rotating plant, "Look, here and here, these are the characteristics of the poison tree and the poison guava, respectively. If it were just the poison tree, it wouldn't be able to easily drive away the bear."
"What can drive away bears is the smell of poisonous guava leaves."
“You use the smell of this stuff to drive away animals, but it doesn’t actually drive them away. It’s just that they instinctively seek to avoid harm and know that this stuff can kill them.”
"As for why the characteristics of these two plants appear on one plant, I can't explain it either. There's something wrong with this nature reserve, so it's not surprising that it produces all sorts of strange plants and animals."
He handed the incense stick containing herbs back to Ash, saying, "Try not to use this thing in the future. It would be better to replace the filling with mutated mugwort."
Gray subconsciously swallowed, never expecting that his hasty response back then hadn't killed the two of them. It was all thanks to his body's resilience that his cells and immune system must have gone crazy.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown. "Those animals took a lot of benefits from us, and they didn't even remind us. Not even Lan Yu said a word. That's really unfair."
Seeing Hui's exasperated expression, the three couldn't help but smile.
Next, Grey told the three about the different animals kept in different areas. Tigers, lions, and hyenas were all around the camp, in cages with electricity.
There are also herbivores such as zebras and giraffes in the original wildlife park area. They have reinforced the boundaries between the two animal territories and placed a lot of natural thorn bushes in the buffer zone between the two animal territories.
At this point, he couldn't help but ask, "When you fought the wolves, didn't the wolf king use 'flying sand and stones' and 'howling breath'?"
The three exchanged glances, and Su Jiancheng innocently retorted, "You watch too many cartoons. Does the Wolf King have superpowers?"
Bai Mengyan turned to look at Leng Yuexiu: "That powerful wolf howl, could it be the 'wolf's howl breath' that Brother Grey mentioned?"
Leng Yuexiu raised his chin at Hui: "Tell me what happened."
Gray looked even stranger. Could it be that they passed through without ever seeing the Wolf King use his trump card?
He explained in detail, "This story begins with the battle for the wolf king. For a while, all the animals in the forest were fighting fiercely, especially the carnivores."
"Wu Wei and I were afraid of causing trouble, so we kept patrolling. When we arrived at Wolf Valley, many of the wolves were seriously injured, and there was blood everywhere."
"Later, based on our observation, we discovered that it was a battle for the wolf king, and the current wolf king was the victor of that battle."
"The two moves I just mentioned are the current Wolf King's ultimate techniques. 'Flying Sand and Stones' is an area-of-effect attack created by the shockwave from his roar. It covers a considerable area and can easily turn small animals within a range of several meters into sieves."
"The 'Wolf Howl Breath' is more focused, showcasing its killing power. The accumulated energy wave explodes towards a single point, shattering the area. The wolf king is also very arrogant and difficult to communicate with."
