Chapter 1128.2: The Realm of Exotic Plants
Su Xiao started throwing out one piece of meat after another. These pink tentacles seemed to have intelligence, and not only did they not attack Su Xiao, but they also gathered in front of him while waiting for another meal.
After the tentacles had eaten almost half a ton of meat, they began to become more and more sluggish, as if they were about to fall asleep after a heavy meal.
— Stand aside, " Su Xiao said, and the pink tentacles in front of him became active again when they sensed the sound, but they didn't attack him, only started to wriggle.
Su Xiao hadn't seen it before, but now he clearly felt that after Maha left, the hostility of those tentacles towards him had greatly decreased.
As for Su Xiao's previous attacks, those tentacles had already forgotten about them, as they didn't actually cause any damage to the Burnt Tree, and those tentacles were both hunting tools and a way to digest prey.
Su Xiao touched the poison on the ground with his fingertips. The numbness immediately began to engulf his finger, but it didn't start to eat away at it.
Earlier, just a light touch on this liquid had caused the iron rod to rapidly decompose, but this liquid seemed to be able to decompose mostly only metals.
Given the harsh growth conditions and lack of natural enemies, the Burnt Tree eventually developed the ability to decompose metals. The venom of this creature only looked very scary, but apart from paralysis, it wasn't particularly dangerous for humans.
And as soon as Maha was gone, the aura of this Burnt-out tree began to resemble a large Venusian flycatcher. Although its hunting methods were brutal, the creature itself wasn't violent
In fact, Burnt Tree was a little afraid of Su Xiao, a creature with such a bloody aura. If Su Xiao hadn't attacked this creature first, it wouldn't have gotten involved with it out of harm's way.
— This creature… He only hates Maha, very interesting, " Su Xiao muttered and took out a few test tubes, then began to collect the creature's poison in them.
Although he didn't do it very quietly, the Burnt Tree was very calm and lazy after such a meal.
All of the creature's tentacles were sluggish and didn't even try to get close to Su Xiao at all.
When Su Xiao stepped on a shallow pool of poison, just as he expected, the poison didn't eat away at his shoes.
As soon as Su Xiao got close to the large group of tentacles, they immediately spread out in different directions.
The meaning of this action was obvious, this creature clearly wanted to say, " I'll let you pass, don't cut me down».
— An interesting plant, it looks like it has a lot of questions for Macha. What is he hiding, or what has he done here that this plant has become so hostile to him? Su Xiao muttered and began to walk forward calmly, every tentacle immediately moving out of his way.
When the last tentacle moved out of Su Xiao's way, he reached the main body of his group and saw them safe and sound.
Killua was stunned when he saw Su Xiao walking through all those tentacles.
— How did you do it? Maha asked with a surprised expression on his face.
According to him, he visited this place several times, and each time he was on the verge of death.
— It's very simple, I just fed them, Maha. When you tried to go deeper into the mountain in the past, those tentacles definitely wouldn't block your path.
Su Xiao had directly let him know that all the disagreements had to be resolved now.
If some questions are not closed, it will be pointless to go further.
— That's right, all the past times, I really didn't manage to go deeper into the mountain, and I really couldn't go any further because of the plants, not because of these tentacles. Now that we're here, let me tell you everything I know.
— What really scares you in this place is not the harsh environment, but the plants with unique characteristics. Inside this mountain is a real kingdom of exotic plants, and I... I want to find their "king", a plant that is at the top of the food chain of this place, the most important part of this formed ecological balance. As for these pink tentacles, they are the weakest among all exotic plants.
— Once we find and take what I'm looking for, the balance of this place will be completely disrupted, and then we'll have to force our way out. Although I chose to hide this information, I can swear on my life that we can get out of here. There's no point for me, a dying man, to use you. If I do something like this and you end up being able to leave here alive, my descendants will be held accountable for my actions, and that's not the outcome I want to see.
