Chapter 1923 Variation Bladderwort

"Master Master, the thing is like this, Robinson and I put the suction pipe into the lake. After the water pump started working, we stayed here and used long sticks to push away the duckweed and water plants on the water surface, so as to prevent the debris from being thrown into the lake. into the suction pipe and damage the pump."

"Not long after, Sinbad ran over with his fishing rod and said that the lake here is so clear that you can see fat fish swimming at the bottom of the lake with the naked eye. He wants to catch some fat fish and bring them back to the boat, and give them to the guests at night. Cook a special dish."

"Robinson and I were watching Sinbad fishing by the lake. A big fish had already been hooked, but was sucked away by a strange undercurrent at the bottom of the water and disappeared."

"A strange thing like this happened twice in just ten minutes, so it's not accidental."

"Robinson suspected that there was something weird at the bottom of the lake, so he took off his coat and went into the water to check it out. However, when he got close to the waters where Sinbad put his hook, he seemed to be dragged violently by an invisible devil hiding at the bottom of the water. He sank instantly and disappeared in the water. There is no trace in the depths of the undercurrent."

"Seeing this scene, Sinbad was so anxious that he didn't even care to take off his clothes. He dropped his fishing rod and jumped into the lake, trying to rescue the unlucky Robinson. In the end, even he himself was not spared, and he was lurking at the bottom of the lake together." The devil dragged it down..."

Having said this, Gulliver couldn't help choking up anxiously.

At this time, Audrey and Holden also rushed over, and when they learned that Robinson and Sinbad were missing in the lake, they all changed their faces.

"What else can we do? We have to go into the water to save people!" Holden said eagerly.

"Don't worry, before saving people, we must at least find out where Robinson and Sinbad are now, and what monster attacked them." Audrey managed to hold her breath.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see any monsters under the water. As soon as Robinson and Sinbad approached the big tree by the lake, they disappeared..."

Gulliver pointed to the opposite side, about a hundred feet away from the shore. Tall plants rose from the lake, with yellow and white flowers growing, and the lush branches and leaves crawled on the water, as if spreading out a green and fluffy blanket.

"Who knows what kind of tree that is?" Holden looked at his companions beside him.

"It looks like a giant labiata plant, more of an aquatic plant than a tree."

Joan observed the plants in the water, his eyes became particularly sharp.

"Aquatic plants can grow so tall? It's like a big tree!" Holden exclaimed in disbelief.

"Aquatic plants in nature usually cannot grow so tall. I suspect that this is a supernatural plant with hunting ability, similar to the 'big flytrap'." Joan guessed.

At this time, Hailar and Captain Odysseus also came after hearing the news. When they saw the strange plant by the lake, Captain Odysseus' expression changed drastically.

"Oops! That's a mutated bladderwort. I'm all to blame. I didn't notice this horrible plant drifting to the lakeshore in time. Robinson and Sinbad must have been sucked into the 'hunting bag' by the mutated bladderwort." !"

"What kind of monster is the mutated bladderwort, and what is the hunting bag?" Holden asked curiously.

"Utricula is a kind of carnivorous plant that lives in water, and Utricula mutatis presumably is a gigantic subspecies of this plant."

According to Captain Odysseus' prompt, Joan pointed to the root of the mutated bladderwort.

"Look carefully, there are many transparent sac-like cavities growing on the submerged stems of Uracidae mutator, which are hunting sacs."

"The air pressure in the hunting bag is very low, close to a vacuum. There is an organ like an air valve at the mouth of the bag, which is usually closed tightly. If there are creatures such as fish and shrimp approaching, the air valve will automatically open and suck the prey into the bag. The air valve is then closed to prevent the prey from escaping."

"After the bladderwort captures aquatic insects, the inner side of the capsule wall will secrete digestive juice, which will take several days to slowly dissolve and absorb the prey."

"The mutated bladderwort is bigger in size, and not only does it secrete a larger amount of digestive juice, but it is also likely to be more corrosive. We must rescue Sinbad and Robinson as soon as possible, otherwise they will be in danger."

After hearing Joan's warning, everyone invariably thought of the tragic scene of Sinbad and Robinson suffocating to death in the "hunting bag" of the mutated bladderwort, and their bodies were corroded by digestive juices into a pool of pus and blood. They couldn't help but feel anxious. Fear from the bottom of my heart.

It is imperative to save people, but the question is how to save them.

Standing on the shore and casting spells to attack the mutant bladderwort, although it is not difficult to destroy it, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not accidentally injure Sinbad and Robinson.

If they go into the water for rescue, the encounter between Sinbad and Robinson will be in sight. Who can guarantee that they will not be swallowed by the terrible "vacuum hunting bag"?

Just when everyone was thinking hard about the countermeasures, there was a high-pitched long cry from behind, followed by heavy footsteps approaching quickly.

Joan turned his head to look at the place where the abnormal movement came from, and saw a tall figure running down the opposite hillside from a distance.

This burly creature with an elephant head was nine feet tall, dressed in leather armor, with light gray skin covered with tiny folds, thick limbs and huge ears. The most impressive feature on his face was the It has a flexible and swinging trunk and a pair of sharp curved tusks, and a thick cable attached to the anchor is hung on the shoulder.

"Monster! Monster!"

It was also the first time for Dolly the parrot to see a living elephant man, so she flapped her wings and screamed in fright.

The elephant man rushed straight to the lake, shaking his trunk while running, and uttered a long, sharp siren, as if to disperse the strangers gathered by the lake.

Although Hyrule and Captain Odysseus have repeatedly emphasized that the Elephant Man is friendly and hospitable and will not take the initiative to attack outsiders, Joan and Zion, who set foot on the Elephant Man Island for the first time, could not help being hostile when they saw the aggressive posture of the other party. Associating with the direction of the enemy, he hurriedly retreated and dodged, and at the same time prepared for battle.

The Elephant Man ignored the nervous outsiders, and flew past Joan and the others, and stopped at the place where Sinbad was fishing just now. He looked at the mutated bladderwort in the opposite lake, with an annoyed look on his face. Patted his forehead.

Just when everyone was guessing what the monster wanted to do, the Elephant Man untied the iron anchor from his shoulders, and swung the anchor like a windmill with a cable in his hand. On the ground, deeply embedded in the reef, sparks splash.

The elephant man pulled the cable straight to ensure that the anchor was firmly stuck on the reef, then took off his coat, threw it on the ground, wrapped the cable around his waist skillfully, snapped the clasp, and locked it on himself, forming a A strong lifeline.

The Elephant Man was ready, so he jumped into the lake shirtless, dragged the cable, and swam vigorously to the Uracula mutator. He plunged into the water, and only the end of the elephant's trunk emerged from the water, like a thick and long catheter, for him. Provides normal breathing air for underwater activities.
