Chapter 339 339. Double Natural Disasters 22
The main function of wind dew grass is that it can be used to make advanced healing potions. In addition, it is also one of the materials of many common potions.

At this time, Xi Lan drank two glasses of wine, because it was fruit wine, and she was not bad at drinking, so she was not drunk, but she also relaxed her vigilance, and she was not as nervous as before.

Xi Lan was infected by her calm emotions, so after hearing Su You's question, she lowered her head and thought for a while, and finally decided to tell everything she learned.

"Yes, at least that's what I thought at first... I was originally collecting resources in one place, but suddenly my friends came over and told me that they found a lot of wind dew grass..." Xi Lan is also a human being, and an ordinary person , love of money is inevitable.

She knew the value of Wind Dew Grass, so after she knew about it, she chose to follow her friend to the place said to have Wind Dew Grass without any hesitation.

Facts proved that her friend was not lying, but there were indeed a lot of wind dew grass over there. Not only that, she even saw two extremely rare herbs in that place under the hint of her friend.

In fact, to be more accurate, there are many herbs that she doesn't recognize, and they are probably rare herbs, but the only ones she knows are these two plants.

"Those few herbs can only recognize two of them, one is Baikucao, and the other is life-sustaining grass." The names of the two herbs are very simple and rude. alive.

Originally, such a large area of ​​wind dew grass was attractive enough, but they also discovered rarer herbs. What is the difference between this and the discovery of two golden mountains?
But things are far from that simple... But Su You can already guess some of what happened next.

It is said that the world pays attention to balance, and it is their opportunity to encounter these herbs, but opportunities are often accompanied by risks.

And Xi Lan's next words also verified her guess.

"Everyone is very greedy for those herbs, but we found that there are a lot of man-eating vines sleeping there..." Man-eating vines, as the name suggests, eat people, but it is not that exaggerated. They just attack living creatures and then use Its flesh and blood serve as its own nourishment.

This is a plant that is very dangerous even without mutation, and has good combat effectiveness.

Not to mention it has mutated.

So if they want to collect those plants, the only way is to deal with those man-eating vines first, and then collect them.

But they have no combat power...

"So you went to the combat team and asked them to help you deal with those man-eating vines?" Su You knew that this was absolutely impossible at the time, but she still asked pretending not to know.

In this way, we can test Xi Lan's own attitude towards this matter a little bit.

Xi Lan frowned and shook her head: "No, that's not the case. In fact, if they had a choice, they don't want the combat team to come over."

If people from the combat team came, although it could help to deal with the man-eating vines, they would definitely not be able to get much, whether it was wind dew grass or those few particularly valuable herbs.

You should know that these herbs are much more valuable than the drops of mutant plants.

Even though they all knew that the task of the combat team was to protect them and not snatch what they found, none of them dared to bet on whether the members of the combat team would help selflessly.

"I understand, you don't want them to come, because they think that after the combat team comes, although they will help to clean up the man-eating vines, they won't be able to get the herbs." Su You said bluntly. The mind of saving oneself and others is exposed.

Xi Lan was silent, but nodded.

Su You tapped the table with her fingertips, and then took the initiative to ask: "Do you know what they did to get rid of the man-eating vine? Can you tell me about it?"

In fact, Su You can guess even if Xi Lan doesn't say anything, but what she guesses can't be regarded as evidence after all, nor can it be used as a basis for punishing those people, so the real meaning of Su You's question is whether Xi Lan is willing to Be this 'witness'.

……

The acid rain was still falling outside, and it was clearly daytime, but because of the acid rain, the sky was gradually covered with a layer of haze.

Su You finally learned everything she knew from Xi Lan.

In order to allow the combat team to help eliminate the mutated man-eating vines and preserve the herbs, those collectors chose an extremely risky method—two of them pretended to be caught by the man-eating vines, and the rest Go and call someone from the combat team to help.

After the members of the combat team came to enter the battle, they could pick the few most precious herbs while they were entangled with the man-eating vines.

As long as the few most valuable herbs are picked, they won't feel bad even if the wind dew grass is going to be parted.

After all, the whole piece of wind dew grass added up is not as valuable as a single life-sustaining grass.

Although this plan is very rough, it is indeed feasible, because the location of those few precious herbs is very hidden, and it is impossible to see if you don't pay attention.

The combat team never thought that this would be one of their plans, so they would only focus on killing man-eating vines at that time, and would not even notice what a small number of collectors were doing.

It's just that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Although they successfully attracted the combat team, the combat members also became entangled with the man-eating vine as they wished.

But I don't know if they overestimated the strength of the combat team, or underestimated the combat power of those mutated man-eating vines... In short, several of those combat members almost died there.

Even the members of the combat team are like this, let alone those collectors who have no combat effectiveness.

When they realized that something was wrong, those who were afraid of death ran away early, and those who wanted money or their lives stayed there to collect wind dew grass.

In the end, this incident ended with two people injured in the combat team, two people seriously injured by the collector, and five people slightly injured.

Those collectors who knew about it were all participants, so they didn't dare to tell this matter at all, for fear of being kicked out of the territory.

And those uninformed collectors didn't know anything about this matter, and they were also deceived by these collectors, thinking that all this was an accident caused by bad luck.

Don't tell the ones who know, and those who don't know can't do anything, which makes Ankana and the others still think that all this is just a tragic accident caused by the collectors unintentionally.

Although Xi Lan did not participate in this matter, her friends did.
