Chapter 65: Flesh-eating Grass
Translator: 549690339
Huge trees grew densely together, their lush canopies interlocked to form a canopy that seed to eclipse the sky. Only tiny spots of sunlight managed to trickle through.
Walking through the forest, they were enveloped in extraordinary tranquility. The air was filled with an odd refreshing sll mixed with a hint of dicinal herbs.
Xu Shangao, Wu ngsheng and the others were too engrossed in searching for the various dicinal plants hidden in the forest to appreciate the scenery.
Although dicine -Seeking Peak was ho to lots of dicinal plants, there weren’t enough to make them ubiquitous.
At first glance, this dense forest seed to contain no dicinal herbs.
But with careful observation, one could find quite a bit of dicine hidden in hard-to-find places.
Xu Shangao, Wu ngsheng, and the others had already found so dicinal plants, albeit common ones—nothing precious or rare.
Even so, they were quite delighted since they had just entered dicine -Seeking Peak and had already made so gains, which was a good start.
What frustrated them, however, was that Fang Lin hadn’t been searching for any herbs at all. He appeared more interested in sightseeing. If Xu Shangao and the others hadn’t kept following him, Fang might have already ditched them and gone deeper into the forest to play with small animals.
Even when presented with a dicinal plant right in front of him, Fang didn’t bother to pick it, leaving Xu Shangao to do the job.
While Xu Shangao tolerated Fang Lin’s lack of responsibility because he was familiar with him, Wu ngsheng and the others felt differently. They had given Fang gifts in hopes that he would protect them during their ti on dicine – Seeking Peak.
Fang Lin’s behavior showed no signs of intending to protect them at all. Wu ngsheng and the others even doubted if Fang took their trip to dicine – Seeking Peak seriously.
However, due to Fang Lin’s reputation, WII ngsheng and the others didn’t express their feelings. Occasionally, their eyes betrayed their dissatisfaction.
Xu Shangao noticed the subtle changes in Wu ngsheng and the others, and couldn’t help worrying.
“Look, there seems to be a Purple Red Leaf plant here.” A disciple suddenly pointed to a plant among the weeds nearby. “There’s one here too. My heavens, there’s another one over there.” “Are we in a field of Purple Red Leaves?”
Wu ngsheng and the others looked around in astonishnt, their faces filled with joy.
Xu Shangao was also extraordinarily delighted. With so many Purple Red Leaves, even if they were divided equally, everyone would still get a lot.
Fang Lin, who was originally looking at birds flying in the sky, suddenly turned his head and said with a slightly furrowed brow, “There’s sothing strange about these Purple Red Leaves.”
At his words, everyone paused. Then, Wu ngsheng and the others showed signs of dissatisfaction.
“Fang, these Purple Red Leaves are flourishing, and there are no beast demons around. What’s wrong?” Wu ngsheng asked.
Fang Lin glanced at everyone, didn’t say a word, and squatted down to pick up a Purple Red Leaf.
As soon as Fang Lin held the Purple Red Leaf, it turned black. Soon after, his hand also turned black.
“Oh no! Fang, you’ve been poisoned!” Xu Shangao shouted, quickly pulling out a Detoxification Pill for Fang Lin to take.
Fang Lin waved his black hand and said, “No harm done.”
After saying this, the black on his hand gradually faded, and it quickly returned to normal.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what was going on. But what just happened to Fang’s hand was undoubtedly a sign of poisoning.
“Could it be…these Purple Red Leaves are poisonous?” Wu ngsheng asked, still unable to believe it.
As soon as they heard the Purple Red Leaves were poisonous, everyone jumped, quickly moving away from the plants around them.
“Fang, what the hell is going on? Why did the Purple Red Leaves turn black when they touched your hand? And how did you cure your poison?” Xu Shangao asked, puzzled.
Fang Lin brushed his hands, and said, “These are not Purple Red Leaves. They are poisonous plants that look exactly like them, but their nature is entirely different. ‘
After a pause, Fang Lin continued, “This poisonous plant is called Flesh-eating Grass. Although its toxicity is not very severe, it will rot a part of your flesh once it touches you. This injury is hard to heal. I wasn’t hurt because I had taken a specially rigged Detoxification Pill before entering dicine-Seeking Peak, which can neutralize common poisons.”
Upon hearing this, the crowd had an “aha” mont. It turns out Fang Lin ca prepared, ingesting a Detoxification Pill in advance, and it seed to be not a common Detoxification Pill.
Right then, Wu ngsheng and the others looked at the beautiful Purple Red Leaves around them, their hearts filled with relief.
If Fang Lin hadn’t warned them in ti, they might have all been poisoned by the Flesh-eating Grass.
The Flesh-eating Grass, although not deadly, would be incredibly disgusting if it infected them—causing their flesh to rot and being hard to heal..
Before, Wu ngsheng and the others had felt so discontent towards Fang Lin, but after this narrow escape, their hearts were now full of reverence for him.
If it hadn’t been for Fang Lin, their journey to dicine-Seeking Peak would have likely ended prematurely.
“Thank you for the reminder, Fang. We’ve been really careless.” Wu ngsheng apologized to Fang Lin with a respectful bow, his words laced with embarrassnt.
Fang Lin just smiled and responded, “After all, we’re sothing of a team. If I didn’t take care of you guys, I would seem pretty heartless.”
Wu ngsheng and the others felt even more ashad. They had been judging Fang Lin internally before, but now it seed that although Fang Lin appeared to be playing around, he wasn’t neglecting their wellbeing.
Xu Shangao, on the other hand, was very interested in the specialized
Detoxification Pill Fang Lin ntioned and kept pestering him about it. Fang Lin didn’t hold back and handed out eleven Detoxification Pills—one for everyone.
After ingesting the pills, everyone felt an odd sensation. It was as if a small snake was swimming inside their bodies, a peculiar feeling they couldn’t quite describe.
“Fang, did you make these Detoxification Pills?” Xu Shangao asked.
Fang nodded and said, “I made them using so other dicinal ingredients, so they’re different from ordinary Detoxification Pills. As long as the poison isn’t too strong, they can neutralize it.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was amazed, especially Wu ngsheng and the others, who silently comnded Fang’s unique genius—the Detoxification Pills he made were truly unique.
At that mont, Fang’s gaze landed on the largest and most vibrant plant among the field of Flesh-eating Grass.
“Although Flesh-eating Grass is poisonous, it can still be useful. With so many of them here, I can prepare a batch of Bone Decaying Pills.” Fang Lin thought to himself..
