The crazy-growing abnormal plants were scattered around, forming a huge forest, making the magic power that was raging under the storm even more chaotic.

Although the amplitude is extremely small, they are indeed slowly squirming like living creatures. No matter how big or small, nearby plants are given strange vitality. Especially those thick leaves, they slowly fan in the wind and rain, as if they want to capture the living creatures close to them and turn them into their own nutrients.

These white plants, which are based on lampposts, have doubts, and are like a whole made of countless flocs. If they are living creatures of some kind of tree spirit species, they would seem too quiet. Those aggressive manic plants are often more ferocious than them - if so many tree spirits were growing in the same jungle, they might have fought on their own long ago.

Curt and Liqi walked in the woodland where only those abnormal plants existed without taking a single step. They had to carefully avoid the vines appearing at their feet. The thin green crawling from under the white plants was like poisonous snakes hiding in the shadows, ready to attack the heels of those passing by, and then drag them to their allies.

The more you go forward, the denser the white plants will be. Unlike the same kind that grows from the feet of a magical street lamp a little further away, the whites nearby are connected layer by layer, and when you are in it, it seems like you are staying on the inside of some kind of insect nest.

"Curter, look over there—it seems to be something there."

With a long knife, Curt struggled to open the path in the trap. Just as he cut off the white branches as thick as an ordinary person's arms, Liqi, who was following behind, suddenly called him and signaled him to look at a piece of open space not far away.

Looking in the direction Liqi pointed, Curt soon found an object hanging in the center of countless white branches. Look carefully. It seemed to be a "cocoon" wrapped in dark green flocs, about the size of an adult, and a floc like a spider web wrapped it. There were also pieces of dirty mucus stains covering its surface, making people unable to get any interest in touch.

To see clearly what it is, one must first break through the white plant that blocked the road. Curt pondered for a moment, took a few steps in an instant, and cut the blade towards the obstacle in front of him. In an instant, the white branches blocking the front were cut into pieces by the blade in his hand.

Of course, these dangerous plants will not be indifferent to the attacks they have suffered. They mobilize their branches to fight back against the iron blocks that are swept towards them. However, these actions are meaningless before the blade strengthened by magic, and are scattered like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind.

The part that left the main branches quickly lost its activity, and the white branches collapsed into countless silk threads and gradually shrank. Finally, they turned into a twisted black block. The full magic inside them scattered into the air, and then was sucked in by the thick white plant, completing a wonderful cycle.

Taking advantage of the gaps that Curt cleared, Liqi used her figure to penetrate into the "heedge" surrounded by white. The dim magic power turned around her and formed circles of sharp spirals, and all the branches that were trying to touch her were cut into pieces.

It was like a gust of wind and rain that blew up again in the middle of the night, and the magic power floating in the air was mobilized by the spells cast by Liqi. They first contracted at a point, and then spread to the surrounding base with them as the center. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding wind, rain and plants were blown into chaos.

Take two steps at a time. The thin figure quickly broke into the white bushes. Liqi, who stood in front of the strange cocoon, reached out and touched it, and then immediately made a strange low sound - the mucus stuck to the surface of the cocoon also touched her hands.

The seemingly colorless and transparent mucus has a odor that makes the nose feel ill. Although it did not cause any substantial damage, this alone was enough to make Liqi create a ball of water balls and try her best to clean them up. Looking at her expression, it was worse than stabbing her.

"What is this... Could it be a spider-net ball?"

Curt threw down a little of the wreckage of the white plant, walked to the cocoon and looked carefully. Looking at it briefly, its appearance was somewhat tilted towards the shape of a human. However, under the shell made of dense and decaying objects, there was no breath of life activity.

It is connected by several white silk threads to the leaves of the surrounding white plants, no matter how the manic wind and rain rage. Those thin lines that are only the thickness of hair are still motionless. The water droplets dripping on it are absorbed by the mucus, which will only make their total amount bigger.

bite!

Seeing that Liqi was still busy fighting against the sticky stains covered with her palms, Curt tentatively used his sword to lightly cut the surface of the calloused object. Unexpectedly, the blade was pushed away by greater force after touching the floc structure that he thought could be easily cut off.

"I don't know, but I think there should be something inside." After a while, Liqi finally cleaned up the mucus stuck to her hands, and turned to stare at the cocoon with disgust. "But as you can see, we have to use some means to pry this shell open now."

While speaking, Liqi took out a knife from her hand-in-hand tool kit. The handle was long and the blade was short, and the sharp blade was probably only the length of an ordinary person's fingers and was extremely thin, making it look slender and fragile - just like a fine-crafted glass, which would be broken if you accidentally did not.

But of course this is just the surface. In fact, this knife is as sharp as the material cutting knife owned by all alchemists. This sharp blade made of characteristic metal can easily cut various alchemy materials and divide them into necessary sizes.

Liqi, who took out the knife, slashed into the air twice so that she could control the feel of the knife in advance. Then she aimed at the callous object, but did not rush to cut the knife immediately. Instead, she took out a small bag of grinding residual salt from the inner bag of the clothes and slowly sprinkled it onto the surface of the floc structure.

This black-gray powder is a catalyst used in necrotic arts - commonly known as "residue salt". It is not called "salt" because it can be used as a condiment, but because the first person to discover it tasted a little salty when he "tasted". It is said that the next day people only saw the residue of the corrupted prototype on his bed, and the things also emitted a horrifying stench.

This is undoubtedly a dangerous alchemy material. Not to mention ordinary pharmacy stores, even the material must be strictly managed in the laboratory. Even Curt couldn't tell where Liqi got these things from - but she always advocated her legitimacy, so he had to believe that she started from a regular way.

Buzz...

A low beep came from the inside of the cocoon, and the entire cocoon also vibrated slightly. This "cocoon" seemed to know that there was something wrong with the thing sprinkled on it, and tried to shake off the remaining salt stuck on it. However, its shell was too easy to stick to these foreign objects. Not long after, the surface of its floc structure was covered with a layer of fine black and gray powder. Suddenly, it began to twist violently like a dying struggle.

Seeing this, Liqi only showed a contemptuous smile, as if she had expected such a reaction. Soon, she immediately pulled out a tube of dark green liquid about the thickness of a little finger from the inside of her clothes, and poured them all onto the area corroded by the residual salt.

squeak!

The green liquid had just touched the outer layer of the cocoon, and a sharp and harsh sound came from the depths of the ball of things. Then bursts of black light smoke floated up from its corroded shell, bringing a disgusting odor. The overlapping floc structure left traces of erosion.

"What the hell is this?"

Standing beside Curt looked familiar with Liqi's actions. He thought she was already confident about how to cook the stuffed stuff. But seeing this "cocoon" that clearly lacked life-deep breath struggled like a living thing, he couldn't help but feel sweaty.

"Who knows? I'm just trying to dissect it... It's very interesting. It's not a living creature, but I'll react like this when I'm threatened."

This "cocoon" was unexpectedly hard, and it was not until she now relied on the sharp blade and residual salt that corroded the shell's defense ability before she could barely cut off the complex structure of the fragile floes. Despite this, her movements seemed too careful, and the deliberate slowdown made the work progress even slower.

Seeing Liqi slashing the knife hard, Curt wanted to come forward to help her, but she stopped it with a gesture of "Leave it to me". It can be seen that this is indeed a very sophisticated job, and Liqi is also choosing the correct cut point while observing the structure of the magic.

"You should have noticed it when you were testing the knife just now, right?" Feeling the worried look of Curt, Liqi also began to explain Curt while continuing the work at hand. "It was obvious that she just knocked it gently, but she had several times the strength to bounce the blade away."

This is indeed the feeling of trying to touch the cocoon and the feel of using a knife just now. Curt was surprised to add another knife to it, but the result was the same as the first time and had no effect. Although it looked very soft, the floc that wrapped the "cocoon" had extraordinary toughness.

"I didn't find any traces of magic power on it, so I think this layered floc structure or its material itself has the power to concentrate the conduction power at a point and then bounce back." Liqi continued, "And you see, the residual salt after purification and fine grinding only softens the material, and even with this knife, it can only slowly cut the surface."

Then she laughed with a sneer, like a naughty boy who has harvested new toys. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
