Chapter 74 The heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman

Chapter 74 The heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman

Abu was the first to react, and quickly turned into a beast shape to block these piranhas who wanted to wait for an opportunity to move.

Chi Zhenzhen suddenly realized that she should take a lighter from her backpack for self-defense.

This is all right, the lighter and backpack were carried away by Luo Gu.

Liya also turned into a beast shape and together with Abu blocked these piranhas who wanted to rush over.

Chi Zhenzhen frowned and looked at the ground. Compared with these piranhas who wanted to wait for an opportunity to move, she was actually more afraid of whether there would be roots breaking out of the ground.

However, as soon as he had this idea, he felt that the soil under his feet suddenly loosened, and Chi Zhenzhen quickly jumped towards Abu.

Sure enough, a rhizome protruded from where she was standing just now!
This stem seems to have eyes, and it hits Chi Zhenzhen's ankle.

Abu reacted quickly, stepped on the rhizome with his front palm, and the rhizome paused and struggled for a few times before retracting flexibly into the soil.

"Luo Gu's spouse, you ride on Liya's back!" Abu shouted at her.

What?
Chi Zhen really wanted to refuse, but Liya said: "Abu, you carry her on your back, and I will guard against it."

"Alright." Abu bent his forelegs and lowered his height, "Luo Gu's spouse, come up quickly!"

Chi Zhenzhen no longer hesitated, and climbed onto Abu's back three or two times. At the same time, she clearly saw many roots running through the soil, and even the roots forming a net behind them began to move towards them. come over.

Abu was carrying Chi Zhenzhen on his back, standing on all fours vigilantly, and Liya was next to her to guard against these piranhas and roots.

Chi Zhenzhen soon discovered that with the two half-orcs, Abu and Liya, these piranhas who were waiting for an opportunity seemed to be afraid of a lot.

Now I just hope that Luo Gu, who went to open the way, will come back soon.

At this time, Chi Zhenzhen smelled a burning smell, which came from the direction of Luo Guna.

It's fire!

I saw those piranhas blocking the way in front of them began to shake one by one, as if they were hurt by someone.

"Looks like Luo Gu has found the way." Abu said happily, "Liya, let's go there!"

"Wait." Li Ya blocked the way, "Luo Gu just told us to stand in place and wait for him, so it's not good to rush over now."

When Abu heard it, it seemed to be the same.

Chi Zhenzhen also remembered what Luo Gu said, but she felt that it was too dangerous to just stand there.

"Be careful, Abu!" Liya yelled suddenly, bumping into Abu with her shoulder blades, and Abu staggered two steps to the side unsteadily.

Liya's impact was so sudden that Chi Zhenzhen didn't take any precautions, and Abu's staggering inertia directly threw her to the ground.

Before Abu could react, the person on his back had already fallen, only to see a thick rhizome coming out of the place where Liya knocked away just now, which was twisted together by several rhizomes.

Chi Zhenzhen fell hard on the ground with his arm, but fortunately the soil was not very hard and he was not hurt by the fall.

'Whoosh'!
Just when she was about to get up on the ground, a stalk jumped out of the soil and hit her. She was so fast that she didn't have time to react.

But in an instant, a beam of flames fell from the sky and landed firmly on the root that was attacking her.

The rhizome that touched the fire fell to the ground and twisted and struggled, which made the fire contact with it even more. In just a few seconds, the root was burnt black and could no longer move.

"Is this how you protect her?" Luo Gu's voice came from far to near, with a deep chill.

Only then did Abu realize that Luo Gu's spouse had fallen to the ground, and quickly turned into a human form to help her up: "I'm sorry, Luo Gu's spouse, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Chi Zhenzhen stood up in shock.

If it weren't for the fire thrown by Luo Gu just now, at the speed of this stem, she might have been dragged to the mouth of the piranha!
"I'm sorry for Luo Gu's spouse..." Abu glanced at Liya, and lowered his head in self-blame.

It was precisely because of the way she looked at Liya that Chi Zhenzhen also looked at her, and Liya calmly changed back into a human form, standing there looking at the scorched rhizome without saying a word.

Did she do it on purpose?

Knowing that the piranhas will not attack them, but still knock Abu away?

Chi Zhenzhen looks back, I hope she won't win the heart of a gentleman with the belly of a villain.

"Have you found a way out?" Chi Zhen really didn't want to waste any more time here, so before Luo Gu lost his temper, he said, "This place is too unfriendly to a purebred like me, hurry up and get out."

Luo Gu narrowed his black eyes, made sure that she was not injured, then took her hand and left here.

"Abu, follow up quickly." Liya tugged at Abu who was still blaming himself with his head bowed.

Abu nodded, but still couldn't hide his self-blame and followed.

Luo Gu used fire to open the road, and there were many blackened roots on the ground, and the piranhas that had bloomed all closed their buds and hid far away.

It looks like it's safe to go out now.

It's just... Chi Zhenzhen couldn't help being a little curious. He could have opened the way with fire earlier, so why did he wait until he was surrounded by piranhas?

Chi Zhenzhen couldn't figure it out, and couldn't figure it out.

Soon, the four of them passed through the piranhas safely, and after they passed through, there was a small forest.

This grove looks much more normal than the piranha just now, and the air is much fresher.

"Little thing, are you thirsty?" Luo Gu stopped, his tone much better than before.

It's okay if you don't ask, but when you ask, she really feels a little thirsty: "A little bit."

"Wait here." Then, he let go of Chi Zhenzhen's hand again.

Chi Zhenzhen didn't have time to call him, and he went through the piranha bush just now.

She didn't want to wait at all, because she was afraid of encountering the dangerous situation just now, and she felt that the safest place was beside Luo Gu.

Fortunately, this time I didn't wait too long, Luo Gu came out quickly, holding several cut off rhizomes in his hand, and there were several bulging round things on these rhizomes, which looked like coconuts.

"Could this be the sac fluid in the rhizome of the piranha flower?" Chi Zhenzhen asked in surprise, staring at the bulging lumps.

Luo Gu looked at her in surprise: "Little thing, have you seen it?"

Chi Zhenzhen shook his head and said calmly: "No, I just heard that the cyst fluid in the rhizome can be eaten, and it tastes sweet to quench thirst."

"You know a lot." Luo Gu laughed, and handed the cut roots to her, "Drink."

Chi Zhenzhen took it, but it was quite heavy unexpectedly.

It's just... how to drink this cystic fluid?She has never drank it, so she has no way of doing it.

This round thing looks like a coconut. I don't know if I can drink it like eating a coconut.

Seeing this, Chi Zhenzhen took out her sharp dagger, ready to chop off the round thing from the root.

"Little thing, what are you doing?" Luo Gu stopped her and asked amusedly.

"Drink the cyst fluid." Chi Zhenzhen blinked, and didn't think there was any problem with this method.
