Chapter 72 The Scary Piranha

Chapter 72 The Scary Piranha

"Luo Gu, there are piranhas not far ahead, why don't we take a detour?" Abu followed and said.

"It would take too much time to make a detour. Anyway, this piranha only attacks purebreds. Our purpose here is to protect Luo Gu's spouse." Liya said, "Are we afraid that we won't be able to protect Luo Gu's spouse?"

Sitting on Luo Gu's back, Chi Zhenzhen took a look at her, don't think she couldn't understand another meaning in Liya's words.

"But this piranha grows huge and has many roots, what if..."

"There is no chance." Liya interrupted Abu, "The road Luo Gu chose was aimed at the cannibal flower, otherwise he would not run in this direction, is it Luo Gu?"

Luo Gu ignored their plans at all, and continued to move forward on his own.

After hearing this, Chi Zhenzhen asked, "Abu, this piranha only attacks purebreds? If a human-shaped half-orc approaches, will it attack?"

"No." Abu shook his head and answered her, "No matter what form we orcs approach, we will not be attacked."

"Could it be that there is some kind of pheromone in your body?" Chi Zhenzhen murmured.

"Pheromone? What is that?" Abu asked suspiciously.

Chi Zhenzhen shook his head, this is not something that can be explained clearly in a while.

She looked forward, and vaguely saw a jungle, and there were a lot of withered grass half a person's height outside the jungle.

I don't know if it was her illusion, Chi Zhenzhen felt that the closer he got, the more he smelled a blood-like stench.

"Are those piranhas hiding behind the withered grass?" Chi Zhenzhen asked.

Abu nodded, not very sure: "It should be, this piranha can move freely according to the rhizome."

Chi Zhen hummed, since Luo Gu didn't want to say anything, all he had to do was to see where he was going next.

Sure enough, before reaching the withered grass, Luo Gu turned into a human form, and let Chi Zhenzhen down.

Chi Zhen, whose feet finally touched the ground, moved a little, but he didn't dare to make too much movement, for fear that the terrible piranha would be hidden behind the withered grass.

"Luo Gu, do you want to pass through in human form?" Liya also changed when she saw him transform into a human form, "I think it's easier for you to carry your spouse on your back."

"Little thing, you have a way to deal with these piranhas, right?" Luo Gu looked down at her and asked.

Chi Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "Are you still afraid of this piranha? They are not interested in you, a half-orc."

Liya, who was ignored again, secretly gritted her teeth and clenched her fists even tighter.

"Besides, didn't Abu suggest you to take a detour? With your footsteps, even a detour won't waste much time." Chi Zhenzhen looked up at him, trying to see some plans from his expression, but unfortunately, he pretended too well .

Luo Gu smiled, and stretched out his hand to her: "Go in when you're ready."

Wouldn't he really let her deal with some piranhas by herself?
Chi Zhen's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't know what to do.

Before waiting for her answer, Luo Gu had already pushed aside the withered grass, took her hand and walked inside.

A fishy smell rushed over, and Chi Zhenzhen covered his nose and dared not relax his vigilance.

Through this withered grass is the jungle.

The soil in the jungle is not too wet, but the color is red and black, as if a lot of blood has seeped into the soil.

Looking forward, there are not many trees, but there are quite a few tall green trees and bushes. Some trees and grasses only have grass as big as leaves, while some trees and grasses have... flower bud-like things in them.

The buds are closed together, the whole is turquoise, covered with a thin layer of small fluff.

The height of this flower bud is higher than that of Chi Zhenzhen, and it is not small.

This should be the cannibal flower that Abu mentioned, but it hasn't shown that it wants to eat people.

After seeing the flower buds hidden in the rough grass, Chi Zhenzhen looked down the flower buds again, probably because of the grass blocking her, she didn't find the rhizomes of the flower buds.

"Luo Gu's spouse, you must be careful and don't run around." Abu's dignified voice whispered behind her.

Chi Zhenzhen nodded and hummed, she would only run around if she was desperate.

The soil under his feet is a bit soft, and Chi Zhenzhen must be very vigilant every step he takes, for fear that he will step on the soft soil.

There is an unopened flower bud not far ahead. Chi Zhenzhen looked at the flower bud while walking, and she didn't know if it was an illusion. She always felt that the flower bud was opening little by little, but when she took a closer look, The buds didn't move at all.

At this time, Chi Zhenzhen heard some subtle noises again, which at first sounded like the sound of turning the soil.

"Luo Gu..."

"To shut up."

Luo Gu interrupted Liya's voice, and continued to walk forward with a blank expression.

"It's okay Liya, Luo Gu must have heard it too, these piranhas won't hurt us, we just need to protect Luo Gu's spouse." Abu said beside him.

Liya clenched her fists and remained silent after saying hello.

Chi Zhenzhen originally wanted to ask him if he heard any strange sounds, but seeing this, he had no choice but to swallow his words.

When passing the first flower bud, Chi Zhenzhen felt that her little heart was about to jump into her throat. If it wasn't for Luo Gu holding her hand, she might not have the courage to pass through the buds that have not yet opened. buds.

After passing the first flower bud, there are more trees and bushes, but there is also an obvious road, a road with no end in sight.

These buds did not change because of her passing by, and Chi Zhenzhen gradually relaxed.

She suddenly thought of the bronze mirror, maybe she could use the bronze mirror to see the attributes of this piranha.

So she took out the bronze mirror, and walked towards the flower bud not far in front.

Species: Piranha (plant)
Habits: It is a kind of plant that loves people. It is in the shape of a flower bud when it is static. After the flower bud opens, there are countless serrations to chew the prey.

The period it belongs to: ancient times
Weaknesses: Fear of fire.

weakness?Chi Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, and the item of weakness appeared on the bronze mirror.

And this time she could clearly see the words behind this column, probably because there were only two words so she could read them clearly.

Luo Gu paid attention to her actions while walking, she really took out the round thing again, and at the same time he also saw the words on it.

Weaknesses: Fear of fire.

"Little things, are they afraid of fire?" Luo Gu asked.

Chi Zhenzhen was taken aback by his sudden voice, and only then did he realize that he could see the weakness on the bronze mirror, but he could only see the weakness.

"Well, yes." She nodded, "But these piranhas don't seem to show any signs of attacking, so I don't think we need to deal with them first."

"They will attack sooner or later, first look for fire seeds nearby." Luo Gu said.

Also, it’s always good to be prepared.

Chi Zhenzhen looked around, she had the kindling, but it didn't seem easy to find something that burned the kindling in this place.
