C253 instinct

"Therefore, A Rong purposely turned a corner because she saw these flying insects. She wanted to lure the man-eating flower over here, fill their stomachs, and escape this calamity." Xuanyuan Chen faintly voiced out his previous intention.

Xie Qingrong nodded and replied, "Mn. Otherwise, we can only force our way through. Passing the trial would drain one's stamina, and the gains wouldn't make up for the losses. Surviving here, maintaining good physical strength and finding edible food are the two most important points. "

Shen Haoxuan looked at Xie Qingrong with admiration. His bright little eyes were filled with his admiration towards Xie Qingrong. "Esteemed wangfei, you're so awesome.

Xie Qingrong shook her head, and said: "It's not that I'm omnipotent, I just read a lot of books and memorized them."

Xuanyuan Chen shook Xie Qingrong's small hand, and only now did he realize that Xie Qingrong's hand was covered in cold sweat.

Unconsciously, his eyes focused on Xie Qingrong as his heart faintly trembled. So it wasn't because A Rong wanted her to look so cold and strong, she also had some fear in her heart. It was just that she hid it well, so deep that ordinary people wouldn't be able to see it.

Of course, Xie Qingrong was afraid. Nature was the most mystical, most generous, and also the most mysterious place in the world.

Although the ancient saying was able to determine the victor, in the face of nature, there was still a sense of worship, respect, and fear.

Xuanyuan Chen set his gaze on the man-eating flower not too far away. This was the first time he had seen such a magical beast; ugly but barbaric, violent and bloody.

Seeing the man-eating flower opening its mouth to devour them without hesitation, their face still looked gloomy. If they were to fight them head on, they might not necessarily be able to completely defend against their attacks.

Xie Qingrong followed Xuanyuan Chen's gaze and looked at the man-eating flower that he was staring at. It was the largest one among all the man-eating flower, and even stronger than the one they had killed.

She narrowed her eyes. Her eyes were filled with killing intent. It seemed as if her eyes were about to spill out at any moment.

The man-eating flower seemed to have paused for a moment when it ate the flying insects. It seemed to have sensed a faintly discernable enmity, and exactly grasped the source of the enmity, slowly walking towards Xie Qingrong.

Xie Qingrong looked at the movements of the man-eating flower and the killing intent in its eyes became even stronger, turning into ice cones and piercing towards the man-eating flower.

The man-eating flower flew into a rage as it opened its ugly, bloody mouth towards Xie Qingrong, as if it could swallow Xie Qingrong whole with one gulp.

Xuanyuan Chen exerted a little strength, and pulled Xie Qingrong towards him, pulling her into his embrace, one hand tightly holding her slender waist.

With his other hand, he held his sword tightly. If the man-eating flower dared to recklessly attack them, the sword in his hand would ruthlessly pierce into the stem of the man-eating flower.

Xie Qingrong pressed down Xuanyuan Chen's hand that was holding onto the long sword, and used her other hand to take out a small bottle from her clothes. She opened the bottle, and threw it not far away.

In that moment of life and death, the man-eating flower suddenly changed its direction and moved towards the bottle.

Xuanyuan Chen looked at the movements of the man-eating flower in confusion, and asked: "What did you throw over?"

"That is a kind of gas that can attract insects. Look, there are a bunch of little black lumps gathered over there, and those little black lumps are actually flying insects in the air. They are many in number and dense, but very small."

Xuanyuan Chen looked in the direction that Xie Qingrong pointed, and sure enough, he saw a black blob, and those man-eating flower s also rushed towards Xiao Hei first.

Xie Qingrong continued to explain: "Compared to human flesh, man-eating flower likes flying insects more. As long as flying insects appear, they will attract the man-eating flower's attention."

As he said that, he took out three more bottles from his bag and threw them further away, dispersing the man-eating flower in several different places.

Xuanyuan Chen and the other three used these four opportunities to slip away.

After the four of them dodged the man-eating flower's attack, Shen Haoxuan took out the rations he had prepared a long time ago and gave them to Xuanyuan Chen, Xie Qingrong and Shang Zhiqing.

The dry food was a bit hard, so after Xie Qingrong ate a little, her mouth became dry and she wanted to drink some water. However, there were only four water sacs. Although there was a source of water here, it would only appear far away.

He didn't know when he would reach the water source, but it was better to save some of it.

She looked around and saw a green plant for a moment. Then, her eyes lit up and she walked towards it.

He carefully plucked four leaves.

He divided the three leaves to the three of them.

Xuanyuan Chen looked at the green leaf in his hand, and was a little taken aback. He did not know why A Rong gave him this, but A Rong wiped off the leaf and placed it into his mouth.

Although he was extremely shocked, he was completely impressed by what Xie Qingrong had done in the forest. Thus, like her, he placed the leaf into his mouth and chewed.

Hm?

Even though it was a bit sour, the thirst had disappeared!

Seeing Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen eating the two pieces of leaves, Shen Haoxuan looked at the two of them with surprise.

Had the prince and the wangfei fallen victim to evil?

Shang Zhiqing was startled when she saw the leaf in her hand. She had once seen this in the "Hundred Herbs Collection". Born in a damp and gloomy environment, it had many leaves, was watery, and could quench her thirst.

When Shen Haoxuan saw Shang Zhiqing toss the leaf into his mouth and close his eyes to chew, he suddenly felt that this world was a little bit of a fantasy.

Eating leaves one by one?

Xuanyuan Chen lightly glanced at Shen Haoxuan, and said indifferently: "If you don't eat, no one will stop you."

Shen Haoxuan immediately stuffed the leaves into his mouth obediently and started to chew like how they usually did.

Eh?

It was sour but not unpleasant to the ear. The key point was that he was very thirsty and almost choked on the dry rations he had just consumed. At this moment, he felt a bit of wetness in his throat.

Shang Zhiqing patted his shoulder, and explained in a low voice: "This is a plant with a juicy plant. Even though the taste is a bit sour, it quenches thirst a lot."

Pausing for a moment, she looked at Xie Qingrong with her sparkling eyes, and praised him: "Big sister is truly amazing, to be able to find such a hard to find water source, even to the point of being discovered by her."

Xie Qingrong leaned on the big tree and said: "Just now, I almost made a big mistake. Fortunately, I managed to stop you in time. Otherwise, how could those man-eating flower let us go so easily? "

Xuanyuan Chen tightly gripped Xie Qingrong's hand, and carefully listened to her complaints. He knew that A Rong was very uneasy at the bottom of his heart.

He curled his lips, and said with a bland smile, "But I have no way of seeing A Rong in danger. Although I really hope that A Rong can rely on me a lot, but I understand even more clearly that A Rong is not a Dodder Silk Flower that can only survive if it is dependent on a man. "

"But even so, in times of danger, my instincts are still urging me to spare no effort to protect you from any harm."
