plant master

() What appeared in front of Ye Feng and the others was an empty hall.

The vaulted hall is 30 meters high and 50 meters in diameter, like an inverted dome.

The most wonderful thing is not the floor covered with white jade marble and inlaid with emeralds.It is not a wall covered with gold powder and painted with colorful Buddhist murals.Instead of surrounding the corner, there are hundreds of exquisite and gorgeous gold-plated Buddha statues in that circle.It's the central part of the ceiling, a beam of warm light that seems to be able to penetrate the soul, slanting down from the two-meter-wide round hole.

The hall is actually connected to the outside, bringing in the sunlight from the top of the mountain.That ray of sunlight sprinkled in the hall, reflecting the resplendent and resplendent of the entire hall, filled with a sacred and solemn atmosphere.

The vines climbing all over the walls and the long twigs urging down from the edge of the skylight, not only did not reduce the charm, but also added a bit of mysterious leadership, adding a strong sense of history to the hall.Buddha statues, sunlight, vines, and solemn murals made everyone feel the artistic conception of the unity of man and nature.

Right below the skylight, where the coffin of King Jiang Xituo was originally placed, there is a huge vine growing. More than a dozen huge vines with a diameter of more than [-] meters grow together tightly, wrapping the coffin. Inside, some corners are faintly exposed.

"I guess the light entrance above should be formed naturally. King Jiang Xituo probably discovered such a wonderful cave. He thought that he could use the light of the sky to transcend his soul and become a Buddha, so he went all the way to Savage Valley to build a mausoleum. " Bai Zhanji straightened his eyes and looked at the hall with emotion.

Everyone spread out in the hall, looking at the object with great interest.

"Gu, brother Gu, there are also piranhas here!" Suddenly, Bai Xiaofei's face turned pale, he stepped back a few steps, and trembled in fear.

A trembling arm pointed to a corner of the hall.

Bai Zhanji and the others tensed up in their hearts, and turned their heads to follow what he pointed.

At this time, the light in the hall suddenly dimmed, as if something blocked his vision.

Bai Zhanji and the others felt a threatening chill above their heads, so they braced themselves and looked up, only to see a huge red flower bud like the head of a truck standing upright under the eyes of the sky, with a big mouth full of sharp teeth opening and closing slightly. He looked at the crowd, as if a poisonous snake was sizing up its prey.

Amidst the rustling sound, several vines as huge as Optimus Prime straightened up, with flower buds full of sharp teeth at the top.A dozen huge piranhas appeared around Bai Zhanji and the others, with their mouths open and closed and their heads bowed.

The four of Bai Zhanji felt chilled in their hearts. They finally knew what was going on with the vines raging in the mausoleum. They felt that it was a super giant piranha! The biggest bud of Zhong Yang is like a locomotive, damn, our body is not enough for it to fit between our teeth?

The vines in the hall also came alive one after another, rolling towards Ye Feng and others like the tentacles of a giant octopus.

More than a dozen piranhas, with their mouths wide open, fell towards Ye Feng and five people like a giant bowl.

"Mom, help!"

The four of Bai Zhanji screamed instinctively, closed their eyes and shrunk their necks.

The brain went blank, and there was no movement as imagined for a while. The four of them opened their eyes, only to see that the piranha rubbed itself with its petals like a puppy, and slowly shrank back.

Only then did the four of them realize that there was a strange person in their team who could control plants.Looking back, I saw Ye Feng smiling and stroking the petals of the biggest piranha flower with his palm, just like petting a pet.Bai Zhanji and the others saw something unbelievable, and the man-eating flower actually showed an expression of enjoyment-it's hard to describe how a flower showed such an expression, but it did give Bai Zhanji and the others that feeling.

That feeling is like the feeling of a kitten and puppy closing their eyes comfortably and docilely under the gentle touch of their owner.

Ye Feng looked at Bai Zhanji and the others and smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, it's just saying hello to you."

Your sister, this greeting is too scary... Bai Zhanji and the others kept their faces cold and filled with resentment.All four of them believed that Ye Feng did it on purpose. He could control these piranhas, but he wanted to scare them on purpose.

In fact, it is still a bit difficult for Ye Feng to control this super giant piranha.

Ye Feng was surprised to find that this piranha actually had a simple consciousness of its own.

This is terrible, although it is simply a consciousness that is not much more developed than insects, it means that this giant piranha is qualitatively different from ordinary plants.

Ordinary predatory plants, such as the well-known pitcher plant, in the final analysis, only have a stress response ability, similar to the conditioned fire of animals, which is uncontrollable, and will respond once the stimulus appears.But this giant piranha is different. It has the ability to distinguish prey like a bee, and it can also think simply and respond differently to different situations.

Through the perspective of mental power, Ye Feng found that the number of "nerve-like cells" in this giant piranha was far more than that of ordinary piranhas encountered in the forest outside the mausoleum, and the nerve-like cells gathered to form many nerve-like cells. The general existence of festivals.Near its root, there are a large number of nerve-like cells forming a nerve center tissue, similar to the existence of an animal brain. It is estimated that the existence of this nerve center makes this giant piranha have a simple consciousness.

It is also because of the self-consciousness, although it is simple, there is also a certain resistance to Ye Feng's control.Coupled with its huge size, Ye Feng had to devote most of his attention to controlling it.

After checking, Ye Feng found that this piranha was more than 600 years old, and what was even more incredible was that its body contained a large amount of life essence.Ye Feng has a feeling that this giant piranha is the ancestor of all piranhas in the forest outside, and is the "mother".And it should be the "devil king occupying the tomb of the former king" in the records of the ancients in Bagan.

The giant piranha must have appeared after the mausoleum was built, and there must have been no plants like piranhas in Savage Valley before, otherwise King Jiang Xituo could not have successfully built his tomb here, and there is no record in the previous history .That is to say, piranhas are a new species that suddenly appeared... In Ye Feng's understanding, there is only one kind of power that can create a new species in just a few hundred years, and that is [gene mutation] .

However, gene mutations are extremely rare in nature.It is extremely rare to have mutations such as "animal cannibalism".Generally speaking, ultraviolet rays, radiation, viruses, chemical poisons, etc. may all cause genetic mutations in organisms, and the probability of natural mutations can be regarded as almost zero.

Ye Feng had a strong feeling that there must be some kind of mysterious power in the mausoleum that led to the appearance of incredible mutants like giant piranhas.

It's incredible to have a simple nervous system similar to that of an insect.

Among the group, only Ye Feng, who has deeply studied biological knowledge, understands the huge biological value contained in giant piranhas.

Trying to communicate with the piranha, Ye Feng was surprised to find that in the consciousness of the piranha, there seemed to be something very important protected by it in the vines at the root.

Judging from the location, that thing seems to be located in the coffin of King Jiang Xituo.

"Could it be that the thing that caused the mutation of the piranha was a funeral object of King Jiang Xituo?"

Ye Feng suddenly had such an absurd idea in his heart.

"Third Uncle, this is not the only treasure of King Jiang Xituo? Could it be that all his treasures were used to build this damn mausoleum?" Bai Xiaofei looked around, but found no special treasures except for some golden Buddhas and jade. , could not help feeling disappointed.

"What do you know? Everything here is an antique, and you can buy several million if you take it out." Bai Zhanji gave him a blank look and continued to study the cultural relics in the hall with relish.

Gao Xingfu and Man Renpin opened their backpacks, picked out valuables to put them in, and even used a knife to buckle off the emeralds inlaid on the floor and walls.

"You guys are really in a hurry. How could the king of a country rich in emeralds and precious stones only have this little funeral object." Ye Feng looked at the four tomb robbers with contempt.He had already discovered the real treasure, which was hidden behind a wall in a dark room.A room full of gold wares, jade wares, and several boxes full of large gemstones.

However, Ye Feng was not in a hurry to get the treasure. He carefully inspected King Jiang Xituo's coffin with his mental strength and found something very interesting.

"Discovered 'Life Crystal'."

The long-lost system prompt suddenly appeared in Ye Feng's mind.

"Life crystallization? What stuff?"

Aware of Ye Feng's doubts, the system explained: "Life Crystal: In the universe, after the death of a powerful life body, a special crystal formed by condensing the spirit and life force of cosmic energy into substance contains powerful life energy, which can greatly improve the user's life energy and promote the great evolution of living organisms.”

In Ye Feng's perception of spiritual power, an irregular spar exuding eternal ruddy light was quietly placed in King Jiang Xituo's coffin, above the celestial cover of the corpse, as if the deceased believed that he could have a certain effect on the soul. some special effects.But the sad thing is that the vines of the piranhas that appeared at an unknown time had already shattered the coffin, and the roots penetrated into it, wrapping the spar around.The bones of a generation of famous monarchs have long been torn into pieces by strong vines.

With a thought in Ye Feng's mind, the giant piranha's entwined rhizomes were untied layer by layer, and a rhizome wrapped around the white crystal stone identified by the system as [Life Crystal] stretched out in front of Ye Feng.Ye Feng stretched out his hand to pick off this lychee-sized crystal of life, and the spar was smooth and comfortable in his hands, with a hint of warmth.

"The crystallization of life... Could it be the 'culprit' that caused the appearance of man-eating plants?"

Ye Feng thought silently with a shocked expression.
