Chapter 324 324. Double Natural Disasters 7
So he could only bite the bullet and tell the story he wove——

"It's just... I just collected here, and then I suddenly found that there were fewer plants in my bamboo basket, and then I saw this person holding the plants I just collected in her hand..."

He danced and danced while talking, and his words and deeds seemed to be the same as the real one. Although there was another person who did not speak, in fact, many people chose to believe Collector A.

That's the benefit of speaking first.

And he himself is the weak side, people will always subconsciously sympathize with the weak.

In addition, the number of collectors present is twice that of combat members, and he is also a collector, with the same identity as these people, and it is easier to assume his own identity, so they will definitely be more willing to believe in themselves rather than members of the combat team.

"I'm done." After collector A finished speaking, he glanced at Ankana secretly, and then quickly looked away.

Ankana sneered, but didn't say anything, she just motioned for the female swordsman to explain.

The female swordsman didn't know that Ankana had already had an idea. In her opinion, all of this was a lie from the other party, but judging from the expressions on the faces of the people around them, they seemed to have believed in collector A. It doesn't seem to work no matter what.

But she wouldn't blame Ankana for letting her speak second, because she also knew Ankana's concerns...

In short, what should be explained still needs to be explained. Whether anyone wants to believe it is their business.

If it didn't work, she took the matter to Lord Su. Anyway, Lord Su said that he would protect their rights and interests... With such a mentality, the female swordsman truthfully told what happened just now.

"I saw the mutated plants over there, so I walked over there, but after I finished killing the mutated plants, this man suddenly said that I stole the plants he collected..." The female swordsman became more and more angry, if not She couldn't do anything, she wished she could slash this person with a sword.

"You also know what happened after that. These plants on the ground are the plants dropped by the mutated plants I killed."

Both of them have finished talking about what happened just now. Except for the dispute about the ownership of this plant, everything else is the same. This was acknowledged by both men.

It's just that Collector A said that the female swordsman came to steal the plants he collected, while the female swordsman said that she came here because she saw mutated plants here.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene was deadlocked, Ankana stepped forward, picked up the plant on the ground, and asked collector A: "You said this is the plant you collected, so why is there no acid rain on this plant?" Corroded traces?"

Just like the logging team harvested less before, although the collection of plants is one plant, it will not decrease, but the quality of the collected plants is much worse.

The worst is that the leaves soaked by the acid rain are all rotten, and the better ones also have some traces of corrosion by the acid rain.

Until now, it is almost impossible to collect intact plants.

But these plants in Ankana's hands are all intact, and the only place with a small black spot was accidentally corroded by the acid rain on the ground when it just fell on the ground.

In order to prove that she wasn't talking nonsense, Ankana specially showed everyone these plants.

Collector A was a little panicked, but he was also clever. He had already guessed that Ankana would ask this question, so he had already thought about his words.

"Is there anything strange about not being corroded? I picked the plants under the big tree, and there are shades on top of them. Of course, the acid rain can't touch these plants!" He said, pointing to the plants he had just collected. The corner of the plant—

It was indeed a dense place covered by big trees, not to mention palm-sized plants, even if a person stood there alone, he would not be exposed to acid rain at all.

Because this tree happens to be 'Big Leaf Camphor', a tree with leaves the size of a lotus leaf.

Not only that, but there is a naturally occurring protective film on the surface of the leaves of Cinnamomum camphora, which can resist the corrosion of acid rain to a certain extent.

"Did you speak for this person on purpose? You can't see such a big Cinnamomum camphora here?" The more collector A talked, the more he felt that God was helping him today. The Cinnamomum camphora would not grow here. I didn't expect that he happened to meet him in such a place, and he would be able to help him lie.

Because of his words, the others began to waver again.

But they didn't feel that Ankana was helping the female swordsman on purpose, because they didn't notice that it was a big camphor tree, after all, they didn't focus on it here.

Facing collector A's questioning, Ankana was not in a hurry, but pressed her step by step: "Are you sure? These plants were collected under the tree of the big leaf camphor tree?"

Collector A began to feel uneasy again, but he felt that Ankana's actions might be just a bluff, because he thought that everything he said was flawless.

"Of course!" Ankana suddenly smiled when he was determined to give the answer.

"Among these plants are datura. Datura is a shrub. You said you picked datura under the big-leaved camphor tree. So, did you eat such a large bush?"

Hearing Ankana's words, everyone subconsciously looked under the big leaf camphor tree, only to see that there was nothing there except for a few bare plants that had been collected, and there were no shadows of shrubs at all.

Datura is a kind of painkiller, which is not uncommon, and it can even be said to be relatively common.

Often when someone is injured in the wild, they will directly grab a handful of mandala and mash it or chew the mixed medicine and apply it on the wound, so most of the people present know that mandala, Ankana Without an explanation, they knew that Collector A was lying.

"No! That's not the case! I collected this mandala over there, and I collected the other plants under this tree." Collector A was obviously panicked, because these plants were not He collected it, so he didn't pay attention to what kind of plants there were, so there was such a big flaw.

Because of the loopholes, his current explanation can be said to be full of loopholes, and he even forgot what Ankana said before...

Yes, there are several mandala clumps around here, but none of them are under the protection of C.
