The Queen of Poison Doctor Confuses the King's Heart

Chapter 197 It’s actually a piranha [3]

"Master, Nishang, please don't get too far away from me. This is a piranha, which is different from other things. It is very difficult to deal with." Shi Yu's tone was very serious, and the expression on his face was full of sternness.

According to those reports at the time, it was said that the piranha grew in the virgin forests and swamps of the Amazon River in America.The shape is very delicate and beautiful, and the flower is shaped like a sun wheel.The fragrance is similar to orchids, up to 1.5 meters in diameter, and the thickness of the petals is about 1.4 cm.

A flower has 5 petals, and the leaves are thirty to forty centimeters long.The diameter can reach 1.5 meters, and the petals are about 1.4 cm thick.A flower has 5 petals, and the leaves are thirty to forty centimeters long.

The piranha is a mysterious plant with certain animal-like habits.At least ten living beings must be devoured to bloom a flower, ten to one, that is, only one small green fruit can be picked up by the continuous support of living creatures in ten flowers.

Piranha relies on flies to transmit pollen and absorb nutrients from other plants, so it has no leaves or stems.It doesn't have four seasons at all, so it doesn't necessarily come out at any time.

However, according to the locals, May-October is its most important growing season.When it first emerged from the ground, it was about the size of a ping pong ball. After several months of slow growth, the bud changed from the size of a ping pong ball to the size of a cabbage, and then 5 fleshy petals slowly opened , It has been two days and two nights for the flowers to fully bloom.

What is unbelievable is that the huge flowers that Rafflesia finally bloomed can only last for 4-5 days, and it is said that during these 4-5 days, the flowers will continuously release a peculiar smell, which is amazing. Let large animals avoid it naturally, and let some odor-chasing insects pollinate it as a matchmaker.

When the petals wither, they will turn into a pile of putrid black matter, and soon the fruit will ripen, hiding many tiny seeds inside, ready to fall into the ground at any time, looking for a suitable place to germinate.
According to the tax law at that time, this is probably the place where the piranha grew, but Shi Yu carefully looked at it many times, but he didn't find any trace of the piranha.

"Girl, what is this piranha?" Duan Tianao looked at Shi Yu inexplicably, he had no image of the piranha she was talking about, and had never heard of it.

"To put it bluntly, it is a flower that can eat people. Don't be hurt by the flower, its juice is corrosive." Shi Yu simply explained, if you tell them more, they don't understand, so it's meaningless no.

Shi Yu remembers that the earliest reports about man-eating plants came from some explorers in the second half of the 19th century.Among them, a German explorer named Karl Leach said after returning from an expedition: "I saw a tree that could eat people on the island of Madagascar in Africa, and the local residents regarded it as a sacred tree.

There was once an aboriginal woman who was driven to climb up a sacred tree because she violated the commandments of the tribe. As a result, 8 leaves with hard thorns wrapped her tightly. A pile of bones. "

Since then, rumors about cannibal plants have spread more and more, and at the same time there have been more reports about cannibal plants. It was only then that Shi Yu knew that there were cannibal plants.
