Chapter 70 A small profit
Tall trees were broken in the middle, and their slanted crowns were inserted horizontally into the soil.
The corpses of giant flesh mosquitoes and swamp wasps were scattered everywhere.
Large tracts of pitcher plants were torn into pieces, and the air was filled with a mixed smell of blood, earth, and moss.
Lear looked at the messy scene in front of him with a slightly fixed gaze.
He also didn't expect that the mosquito queen, after inhaling the black-spotted bloodworm powder, would burst out with such exaggerated destructive power.
Like a sharp sword, it crushed everything around it into mud as it flew at high speed.
It raged for twenty minutes before stopping.
Fortunately, Bubblemon used bubbles to take away the Swamp Bee Queen at the first opportunity.
Otherwise, the swamp bee queen who uses herself as bait and forcibly pulls the mosquito queen into the trap will probably be torn to pieces immediately.
Level 13 heroes are too brutal.
This result was achieved by taking advantage of information and making sufficient preparations in advance.
Otherwise, if we use force, we may not win even if we sacrifice all the Swamp Hornets.
When the mosquito queen was wreaking havoc, the giant flesh and blood mosquitoes, without any command and severely injured, scattered in a panic.
Escaped directly
The relationship between the Flesh Giant Mosquito and the Mosquito Queen is far less close than that between the Swamp Wasp and the Queen Bee.
The two-headed ogre chief, a ferocious hero who was nearly three meters tall, had already broken and torn apart all of the Mosquito Queen's wings and hairy limbs.
At this moment, blood continued to seep out of the Mosquito Queen's body. She collapsed to the ground, exhaling more air than she was breathing in.
Li Er used healing magic to stabilize the other person's life breath.
Until this moment, he still couldn't see the specific attributes of the Mosquito Queen.
After calming himself down, he tried to dissipate the remaining power of the god, but as soon as it came into contact with the Mosquito Queen, he felt palpitations.
A strong sense of crisis arises in my heart.
His soul could no longer withstand such high-intensity slavery.
He let out a long breath and withdrew his mental strength.
He turned his head and looked at the Bubblemon beside him.
"Bobo, imprison the Mosquito Queen and transport her back."
For now, we can only imprison him and talk about it later.
As he said this, he glanced at the messy surroundings.
"All the bodies on the battlefield were also packed up and taken away."
The fight between the swamp wasps and the flesh-and-blood mosquitoes resulted in a large number of casualties, and these corpses served as nutrients.
Wait for the bubble beasts to take action.
Lear entered the habitat of the giant flesh and blood mosquito with some curiosity.
Many of the two-meter-high pitcher plants around were destroyed in the battle, and now they were empty without any hosts.
Looking around, he slowly came to the giant pitcher plant where the mosquito queen lived.
The height is nearly four meters, which is quite exaggerated.
When you get closer, you can feel the pressure brought by that body size even more.
He waved his hand and asked the two-headed ogre chief beside him to lie down on a tree nearby to see what was hidden inside.
The level 11 hero climbed up the tree in two or three steps, and looked up with a strange look in his eyes.
"Master, there is only some nectar in it."
nectar?
"Get some out and let's see."
The two-headed ogre chieftain found a clean stick and leaned over to pick some out from the pitcher plants.
He got up from the ground and came to Lear.
Lear immediately smelled a sweet scent similar to honey, which whetted his appetite.
Looking at it carefully, its attributes quietly emerged in my mind.
Nepenthes nectar
[Level]: 1 star
[Features]: Excellent taste, rich in sugar, can be drunk directly.
[Evaluation]: The nectar secreted by the mutant pitcher plant is used to attract insects to enter and kill them.
Lear's eyes lit up.
These pitcher plants can actually secrete this good stuff? !
Immediately I became interested.
Let the two-headed ogre chieftain try it first.
Et was not vague either. He picked up the stick covered with nectar, put it to his mouth, and took a sip.
Her amber eyes widened instantly, her face full of disbelief.
"Master, this nectar tastes amazing!!"
“It’s not as sweet as honey, but it has a strong floral aroma. It leaves a lasting aftertaste after you take a bite. It’s simply perfect!”
As he said this, he took another sip.
Lear also became interested, and found another stick to probe inside and picked out some.
Looking closely at it, the nectar looks like flowing yellow amber with a large number of tiny bubbles and no impurities.
You can smell the fragrance of flowers when you get close.
I took a sip and it tasted like it was brewed from hundreds of kinds of nectar, leaving a lingering fragrance in my mouth.
Lear's eyes also lit up.
What a good thing!
There is no sugar-producing crop like sugarcane in this world. The main source of sugar is honey.
For ordinary people, sugar is a luxury. In the city of Loran, only nobles can enjoy it regularly.
If we can move the pitcher plants back to our territory and plant them, wouldn't we have a constant source of sugar? !
I became excited and looked at the pitcher plant itself.
Nepenthes variabilis
Magic Plants
[Level]: 1 star
[Characteristics]: It can grow rapidly with sufficient water and secrete unique nectar.
[Evaluation]: Plants that have mutated after being eroded by magic.
One-star magical plant? !
Li Er laughed out loud, he felt like he had found a treasure this time!
I turned my head and looked at the two-meter-tall pitcher plant next to me, but there was no such effect.
The properties panel only shows the pitcher plant.
So, a plant that is two meters tall is normal? A plant that is nearly four meters tall is considered a mutation?
The corners of Lear's mouth twitched. It turned out that the fantasy world could not be inferred by common sense.
Still unwilling to give up, he asked the two-headed ogre chief to find a few ordinary pitcher plants to look at.
The nectar secreted by these pitcher plants has a rotten and fishy smell, but only a faint sweetness.
It is completely incomparable to the mutant pitcher plant.
Seeing this, we can only focus our attention back on the mutated pitcher plant.
But the problem is that the vines of this plant extend for dozens of meters around, and the pitcher plant is nearly four meters tall. In addition, it is extremely difficult to take root in the ground and transplant it back to its territory.
While thinking, he began to look around the pitcher plant.
After a moment, he suddenly saw something and quickly bent down and pulled out the soil on the ground a few times.
At the root of the pitcher plant, a mini seedling just emerged and appeared in sight.
Nepenthes variabilis is apparently a plant that splits directly into seedlings, rather than hatching from fruit seeds.
Lear was overjoyed and waved his hand to let the two-headed ogre chief help him dig up the soil to search.
After ten minutes or so, all the soil around had been turned over.
Found 30 seedlings in total!!
Lear's face lit up with a smile.
This is a real magical plant, and the nectar it secretes is so delicious.
If it can be grown in the territory, then Weilu City will undoubtedly have another specialty.
This unexpected gain made him feel much better.
After searching the area for a while and finding nothing more, Lear stopped.
I asked someone to put all the nectar in the pitcher plant back, but because the queen mosquito ate it, only about 20 kilograms of nectar were obtained.
At this moment, Bubble Beast had just finished collecting the corpses.
He did not linger any longer and returned to his territory with his army.
The swamp wasps still fluttered overhead in protection.
Seeing that there were fewer bee colonies than before, Lear's joy faded a little.
This time, in order to capture the Mosquito Queen, I used up all of my 3-star alchemical potions - black-spotted bloodworm powder, which consumed all of the materials I had accumulated during this period.
In addition, more than 9 of the 3 Swamp Hornets were killed in the battle just now, which is one third of the sacrifice.
The swamp bee queen was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He cast the swamp gift dozens of times in a row before he could barely keep her life.
But he was still in a coma, and the swamp gift was no longer effective.
Lear could feel that this battle had caused the other party to fall into a deeper sleep.
Or it may take a long time to wake up.
The only good thing was that after the queen bee fell asleep, his control over the swamp wasps improved by several levels.
You can directly use mental power to control these brutal killing machines.
All in all, the losses in this battle are still within an acceptable range.
The main target, the Mosquito Queen, has been captured.
This is the key to the slough wasp's survival.
There will be no need to worry about their lifespan in the future.
The set goals were achieved, the losses did not exceed expectations, and a mutant pitcher plant that could produce nectar was obtained.
All in all, I made a small profit.
