Chapter 374: Traces of Yuzu
In the general classics of the Dingli Sect, there are many descriptions of the ecology of the northwest region. That place is really wild and desolate without human habitation, so many rare birds and animals were born there.
One of the articles mentioned a strange creature that could not be summarized as a plant or a simple beast. This thing looked like an ordinary brown bear, but when it opened its mouth, green vines would climb up the bushes from its chest.
When this strange beast named Yinbo hunts, it hides in the bushes to conceal its body. The vines in its mouth spread all around as cover. The vines can produce flowers, and the flowers have a strong hallucinogenic effect.
Passing wild animals or humans will feel slightly anesthetized by the pollen of the flower, making it extremely difficult for them to detect the scent of the vine. When the prey relaxes, the vines will tightly wrap around it and finally enter its abdominal cavity through its mouth.
The Yinbo does not like flesh and blood, and only eats internal organs. It is extremely difficult to see any scars on the surface of the prey that has been eaten. It is also easy to deal with this creature because what it fears most is fire.
In the northwest, people always light torches when walking on the mountain roads at any time of day or night to prevent sudden attacks by this thing.
When Tian Yu saw the chest of the deceased, she immediately thought of this monster, and then the scream coming from the flames confirmed her idea.
"Yinbo is afraid of fire. When it is burned, it screams to disturb other people's minds."
As the shrieking sounded, everyone including Tian Yu suddenly felt that the surrounding scenery changed. They were now in the deep mountains and forests instead of the road they had been walking on before!
This wild mountain range is truly mysterious. Even Tian Yu didn't know when he had inhaled Yinbo's pollen, and its effectiveness was obviously much stronger than that in the northwest. Those corpses on the ground were probably killed by each other under the influence of the pollen.
"Enemy attack!" Tian Yu shouted, and a bear-like creature with brown fur stood up from the grass with a roar. It was nearly five meters tall, but had no eyes, and the nails on its pair of sharp claws emitted a cold light.
The size of this Yin Bo was more than twice as large as recorded in the records. Because of the burning of the field rain, the vines derived from its mouth caught fire, and the pain finally revealed its body crawling among the plants.
Tian Yu had never noticed such a huge creature hiding in the woods. At this moment, she finally felt the danger of the Savage Mountains.
Following Tian Yu's shout, Qiu Qi instantly drew out the weapon from his waist, and the other team members also reacted and prepared to respond.
The bloody sword appeared in Tian Yu's hand. What made Yin Bo so frightening was not only his stealth and insidiousness, but also his powerful physical attack power.
"Qiu Qi!" Tian Yu shouted. Upon hearing that, Qiu Qi rushed towards the Yinbo without hesitation.
Behind him, several people formed a formation and surrounded the roaring beast.
As the main attacker of the team, Qiu Qi rushed towards Yin Bo with the weapon in his hand. Tian Yu thought about it and attached a layer of flame to it.
Seeing this, Li Xi also added fire power to the other teammates in the front row who were attacking.
Among cultivators, powerful attackers like Qiu Qi have always focused on training their physical bodies, so they are slightly lacking in the manipulation of mental power. Although cultivators can practice the manipulation and conversion of spiritual power as long as they are willing, most people will not waste time on this.
As for Li Xi, his unique job in the Law Enforcement Hall shows that he is not an attacker who is good at attacking and has a strong body.
The siege of nine masters in the human realm quickly killed Yin Bo. Tian Yu concentrated his supersensory power to investigate and finally found traces of Li Tianhe.
"Get out of the way!" Tian Yu thrust the bloody sword into Yin Bo's abdomen.
Li Xi couldn't help but dry-heave twice when he smelled the fishy smell.
Li Tianhe was seen being tightly wrapped into a cocoon shape by a bundle of vines, his whole body covered with mucus. Yin Bo quietly dragged him away and swallowed him into his stomach without anyone noticing.
"Was he eaten?" One person couldn't bear it.
"No," Tian Yu took out some water and poured it into Li Tianhe's mouth, "Water, the more the better."
"Yinbo only eats internal organs. When it encounters a large number of prey, it will hunt them separately. The first one hunted will inhale a large amount of pollen and store it in the Yinbo's abdominal cavity so that it can be eaten after the hunt is over." Tian Yu explained.
As a large amount of water was poured into Li Tianhe's mouth, he finally began to vomit.
"Brother, it's a good thing that this monster only eats fresh food." Someone patted Li Tianhe on the shoulder.
He slowly woke up and looked at Tian Yu, thanking him solemnly: "Thank you, Captain."
Tian Yu had no time to care about the conditions of the others. A large amount of internal organs and blood flowed out of Yin Bo's abdomen after it was cut open. However, she saw something familiar in this disgusting scene.
Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, she reached out and took the thing into her palm.
"whole team!"
They have deviated from their original route and now need to get back on track quickly, otherwise they are likely to get lost in this barren mountain forest, or even suffer casualties.
"From now on, everyone needs to keep an eye on the teammates around them, and quickly blow the enforcement whistle if they notice anything unusual." Tian Yu rearranged the forward formation.
"We are now at least a hundred miles away from the main road." Du Ze looked at the height of the surrounding plants and spoke solemnly.
This is obviously wrong. Even if the Yinbo in the Savage Mountains is well developed and mutated, it cannot confuse people for nearly a hundred miles.
Tian Yu looked around and saw some black insects flapping their wings and taking off on the road they passed.
Her sight began to extend outward, and finally, Tian Yu took a deep breath and said the conclusion: "We encountered miasma."
In the insect's sight, the place where everyone passed by was already covered by white fog.
"Miasma?" Du Ze frowned. This mountain range was indeed strange. The miasma could confuse everyone's mind and make them think they were still walking on the road without realizing it.
Then he squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil. After sniffing it, his expression became more solemn: "There is a strange floral fragrance in this soil."
They woke up because of Yinbo's scream of pain. Now it seems that it was not just its pollen that confused everyone.
The Law Enforcement Hall has always been well-equipped. The moment Du Ze said there was a floral scent, everyone stuffed the medicine on their bodies into their mouths and then put on the special masks in the Law Enforcement Hall's equipment. This mask is not as bulky as a gas mask. Although it is a bit stuffy when worn on the face, it is an excellent filter for toxins.
"Stay alert and get out of the mountain." Tian Yu took the lead and walked in front.
Thinking of what he had just held in his hand, Tian Yu was confident that he was not mistaken. It was clearly Yuzi's micro robot.
"Has she been to this mountain range? Or is she in this mountain range now?" Tian Yu guessed in her heart, but there was one thing she was very sure of. Based on her personality, she would not easily do such an adventurous behavior.
