SWNOVELXO Chapter 173 Flower Of Despair
The vines buried under the shrubs suddenly rolled up and rushed toward Fu Han, as if they wanted to drag him back into the pond.
Fu Han had no choice but to summon Boya, and breathed fire at the sweeping vines! As soon as a big hole was burned out of the rattan like a fishing net, Fu Han wanted to drag Shang Li and continue running. When I reached out, I realized that this guy had disappeared! !
Fu Han frowned slightly, thinking...that's normal. That guy probably had a lot of life-saving means, otherwise why would he have come to find the ruins of the ancient temple alone. So, Fu Han ignored him, mounted the Yueshu Lingma and rushed towards the hole in the vine net!
The breakout went smoothly, but he didn't know if the canes would come back again. Fu Han ran all the way to last night's camp before stopping.
After Fu Han confirmed that there were no strange flower vines nearby, the first thing he did was to focus on the appraiser badge hidden under his collar.
Although the colorful figure lying on the purple flower was not clearly visible. But Fu Han took a closer look at the giant blue-purple flower. Fu Han planned to check Zihua's information at the Eternal Tree to confirm the situation.
He recalled the scene he just saw, even if he told the Eternal Tree. After that, just wait for Him to give detailed information.
Soon, a piece of information was transmitted into Fu Han's consciousness through the badge. Unexpectedly, this piece of information also included information about that colorful figure...
The giant purple flower is called [Despair Flower], and it is a rather strange plant star beast. If the definition of "immortality" is not very strict, then the Despair Flower is almost immortal.
The seeds of the flower of despair can be buried under fallen leaves or in the soil and will not decay for thousands of years. And the long-term dormancy is just to survive the most difficult years. Only when conditions are perfectly ripe will its seeds produce embryos.
For a period of time after the embryo breaks through the ground, its core will form rapidly and begin to absorb the light quickly. After that, the larvae of the Despair Flower will fall off in the form of a plant-based star beast and begin to constantly look for a place suitable for their own survival.
After such a period of time, the Despair Flower whose starlight is powerful enough will evolve again and become the Ruobo Despair Flower. It will lose all the characteristics of the plant star beast and abandon the photosynthetic chloroplasts. Transforms the body into a pure toxic elemental construct.
In this form, the Despair Flower can directly penetrate the body into the plant and move along the stem veins of the plant.
"Oh? Why?" Qiqilu was puzzled.
When this flower of despair is strong enough, it will find a suitable place and transform again, becoming an adult flower of despair.
When Fu Han didn't understand it, he turned around and ran away. But now that he knew its situation, Fu Han felt that he could give it a try, even if the other party's star level was quite high!
Strictly speaking, although the Despair Flower has seeds, it cannot reproduce. It will only "reincarnate" continuously. So, in a sense, it's almost immortal.
Apart from anything else, judging from the rarity given by the Eternal Tree, it is a star beast with legendary rarity like Qi Qilu, which is very rare and on the verge of extinction.
More importantly, the main danger of the Despair Flower is its toxins. Its name of "desperation" is also related to its deadly toxin. The poison of the Despair Flower will cause unbearable pain and intense mental torture to the poisoned creature.
In this way, the Despair Flower can calmly retract the poison and use the Broken Star to rapidly strengthen itself.
Fu Han knew a lot of things that would lead to such extreme situations. Including but not limited to the arrival of [End Page 2], a virus that only targets flower strains of a certain gender, the fall of an old god, or the sinister use of power.
Bo Ya has [Swamp Adaptability], not to mention that the poison is completely useless to it, but the effect is definitely greatly reduced!
"Actually, it's just what I want if he runs away!"
As for Fu Han himself...the few primitive cells he had obtained from the Goat-Headed Demon Lord were not used yet. Although the amount is not much, it is enough to react on the spot and strengthen your own organs to detoxify!
Fortunately, the location of the ruins has basically been determined. Fu Han estimated that there should be temple ruins under the pond, or the road leading to the temple ruins.
This time there was no one else around. Qi Qilu appeared directly and sat on Fu Han's shoulder: "I don't know anything else, but there must be a person named Shang Li!"
The vast majority of toxins have no effect on elemental star beasts. For example, Saitama and Getsuki are not afraid of toxins at all. Water slimes can be contaminated with toxins, but it is impossible to poison them. The undead-type Yueshu Spirit Horse cannot be affected by poison.
"This way...you don't have to give him half of the treasure."
In other words, Fu Han is not afraid of the Despair Flower at all!
Shang Li is gone. Could it be that all the busy work he has done these days is just a "blank check"? ...that can't be done!
Despair took a different approach to survival and took a unique path. But from a biological perspective, this reincarnation model is not actually a success.
But that's just speculation.
Any time, no matter what form you are in. When the Despair Flower suffers a devastating blow or dies due to the passage of time. Before it dies, it will transfer its consciousness and part of the poisonous elements to the previously hidden seeds, wait for the right time, regenerate the embryo, and start its own life cycle.
He was even very curious about the skills and characteristics of the Despair Flower...
More importantly, at this time, the flower plant of the Despair Flower will produce seeds, and its stamens will hide the seeds in a suitable place.
"Should I try to explore it myself? Qiqilu, what do you think will be under that pool?"
Under the double torture of body and mind, poisoned individuals often cannot survive for long before they choose to end their own lives.
As for the reason, Eternal Tree did not explain. Fu Han thought of a situation that fit its name of "desperation".
The previous poison element structure will become the pistil part of the despair flower. It and the Flower of Despair are actually one, except that the Flower of Despair is a plant, and it is still the poisonous elemental structure. The plant of the Flower of Despair is both its body and its home.
For a wild star beast, poison is a very powerful weapon! But for a beast master, the poison attribute has many flaws.
It should have reproduced at first, but under certain special circumstances, it evolved into what it is today. For example, in some extreme cases, flower plants of the opposite sex die collectively!
Because Fu Han discovered the legendary rare star beast, the Eternal Tree added some gift points to him... Fu Han, who got the "blank check", was not happy at all.
…
Fu Han nodded. Shang Li could not be found at that time, so Fu Han had already guessed that this would be the case.
Even Xiao Zi... has the magical skill [Shadow Incarnation] to turn herself into an elemental construct to eliminate toxins!
This time it will grow a plant structure again and turn into the giant purple flower that Fu Han saw. Before the Despair Flower blooms, its consciousness will be completely silent. When the Despair Flower blooms, the Despair Flower's consciousness will awaken again.
It will hide in the food of the herbivorous star beast, wait to be swallowed by the other party, and then poison it to death. The corpse of the giant beast will not decay because it is full of toxins from the Despair Flower, and will not be eaten by other star beasts.
At this time, they have become perfect assassins, and their targets are those powerful herbivorous star beasts.
