Chapter 2414 Magic Flower
Through the stamen, the ovules in the depths of the magic flower can be vaguely seen beating like a heart.
Qiao An observed carefully, and found that there were a total of twelve snake-like vines extending from the monster's stem, each of which was no less than 40 feet long. The leaves on the vines were particularly peculiar in shape, curly and trumpet-shaped.
When the magic flower wields its vines, the airflow passes through the horn, whining like a trumpet, which seems to have hypnotic magic, attracting Sheriff Dixie and his party from the town to come here after all the hard work.
Everyone gathered in front of the magic flower, all looking up at the huge bright red flower under the moonlight, their faces full of fascination.
The magic flower stretched its vines, rolled up the townspeople, stuffed them into the stamens one by one, and swallowed them into the body.
During this period, Joann did not see a single person trying to resist.
The smoke dissipated, and then slowly gathered. The newly generated scroll was seven days away from the previous one. The townspeople who had been swallowed whole by the magic flower before had been completely spit out by this time.
After going through this weird ritual, dozens of townspeople headed by Sheriff Dixie still maintained their human appearance, but their skin color turned green and their eyes looked dull.
Obviously, this is the "tree monster" that Audrey and his party encountered before.
These tree-like people are undoubtedly dominated by the magic flower, and they are like puppets.
Mrs. Josephine once mentioned in her letter that the "Oz Fairy" Anahita is good at cultivating supernatural plants, and her most proud work is called "Primitive Magic Flower", which she regards as a totem and weapon against the invasion of civilization. It can transform those arrogant people who claim to be civilized people into "sons of the magic flower" who follow nature. They experienced some kind of mysterious transformation in the body of the magic flower, becoming a new species of half human and half plant. After the transformation, they retained part of the previous memories and skills, but their minds had degenerated to the level of beasts, and their physical characteristics became close to plants. They don't even need to eat anymore, and can survive only by photosynthesis.
If there is no accident, this red magic flower should be Anahita's masterpiece - the original magic flower.
At this time, Joan suddenly felt a severe headache, the concentration of "Spiritual Vision" was interrupted, and the lingering cigarettes in the night sky quickly dissipated.
Rubbing his forehead, Joan looked deep into the forest, frowning.
The sudden headache just now was obviously someone secretly interfering with his spellcasting. Fortunately, he had taken the mythical potion in advance, and the other party's interference did not cause substantial harm to him.
If Anahita was the one who plotted against him, Joan would know the depth of her mana, and sooner or later she would double the debt.
Putting away the censer, Joan habitually took out the "navigation compass" to check the nearby terrain, but the map was not generated as expected.
Looking at the broken compass, Joan recalled that Hailaer mentioned in a letter that the expedition team had tried all the spells of pathfinding and navigation when they entered the "Wonderland of Oz", but none of them worked.
The failure of the "navigation compass" indicates that there is indeed some kind of magical power inside the "Oz Wonderland", which specifically interferes with teleportation and navigation spells, making this dense forest covering an area of about 150 square miles a "green labyrinth".
Joan tried the "Find Shortcut" that came with the "Hull Boots" again. The navigation cursor generated by the spell was spinning like crazy, unable to point out a clear direction.
Joan was not surprised by this result, and then took out the "Branch of Irminsur", and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was not disturbed, and could still detect all supernatural plants distributed within 7 miles around, and successfully obtained The corresponding camp, life level and coordinate information.
Why are all the other detection spells out of order, but the "Branch of Irminsur" is not disturbed by "Oz Wonderland"?
Joan held the tender green branch and pondered for a while, guessing that it was probably because the "Branch of Irminsur" had been upgraded to a "secondary artifact" after being strengthened by Master Gray and Granny Green in turn.
Under normal circumstances, magic and supernatural abilities below the legendary level cannot suppress artifacts. For example, artifacts can be used normally in the "anti-magic field".
Since "Wonderland of Oz" cannot interfere with the detection function of "Branches of Irminsur", Joan must of course make full use of this advantage and use it as a breakthrough to crack "Wonderland of Oz".
Holding the branches tightly, Joan tried to search for the surrounding supernatural plants.
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of messages flooded into his mind. "Oz Wonderland" is definitely the area with the highest density of supernatural plants that he has ever set foot in in his life. Fortunately, the intelligence attribute is high enough, otherwise he really couldn't handle it. Such a complex data flow.
Most of the detected supernatural plants belong to the neutral camp, which is normal, but there are also a few belonging to the evil camp, which is the focus of Joan's attention.
Among all the detection targets, the most prominent is a "giant supernatural plant" with a life level of up to 24, and there are more than 30 supernatural plants similar in size to humans patrolling around a fixed route—if nothing else , should be the "Original Magic Flower" and the "Son of the Magic Flower" transformed after being swallowed by it.
This group of supernatural plants is located in the north, five and a half miles away from Joan's current location.
The dense forest obscured the view, and Joan decided to fly up to check the position of the giant plant suspected to be the "primordial magic flower" from a high altitude.
Before he could make up his mind, the branch in his hand trembled slightly, emitting a warning light.
Joan immediately became alert, and using the detection function of "Branch of Irminsur", he found that no less than twenty supernatural plants were digging towards his position from a depth of two feet below the surface, clearly with malicious intentions !
These cunning underground stalkers are small in size, only three feet long. "Branches of Irminsur" can only detect a strong evil aura from them, but they can't determine the specific species, nor can they tell Physical attributes and special abilities.
But this little thing can't help Joan, first took a "anti-living shield" on himself, and took precautions, then took out the "perspective hand mirror", according to the coordinates provided by "Branch of Irminsur" , check out the nearest burrowing supernatural plant.
Looking through the mirror, bushes, weeds and thick soil, Joan saw a humanoid monster digging underground. The skin covered in mud was dirty. At first glance, it looked like a fat child with deformities, but carefully Observation revealed that its body, hands and feet were developed from rhizomes, and its messy hair resembled a potted plant.
"Sure enough, it's mandala grass." Joan murmured to himself.
Audrey mentioned in a letter that the expedition team had encountered this little monster that looked like a deformed baby and was good at digging and sneaking.
According to the description in the letter, Joan had suspected that what the expedition team had encountered was the "Datura Grass". After checking with his own eyes at this moment, the previous guess was confirmed.
