Chapter 123 122. Poisonous

When the skewers of mutton were put on the grill, the charcoal fire roasted the fat and lean mutton until it sizzled and the fragrance spread as Lulutis's tentacles turned the mutton again and again. The fog demon quietly left Lu Yu's side.

Wandering around the camp, he saw many elves from the sanctuary paying attention to where Lu Yu was. His nose twitched from time to time, and the fog demon was in a good mood.

"It turns out that this is possible. When I am not comfortable, someone is with me. It feels so good!"

The fog demon turned into a small ball of white mist, floating quietly in the air, quietly taking in the expressions of the elves from the sanctuary who couldn't walk because of the smell.

"Wow, this one actually swallowed his saliva, which is more embarrassing than me."

"This guy stayed longer than the last person, so greedy."

"Is it useful to sniff so many times? Anyway, you can't eat it... Forget it, I can't eat it either."

The fog demon gave himself a critical hit, and the fog suddenly became much lighter.

The fog demon, who suddenly felt bored, continued to wander around the camp, hoping that Lu Yu could quickly finish lunch so that she could go back to play cards with Sigrid.

The bored fog demon's peripheral vision suddenly touched a place behind the Sanctuary Elf Camp.

There was a lot of garbage generated by the Sanctuary Elves camping here.

The elves hated the behavior of polluting the forest, so they often concentrated the garbage when conditions allowed, and then took it away or buried it when they left.

Of course, these jobs must not be done by people of status, but usually by slaves or elf vassals.

The fog demon was a little confused when she saw the shriveled thing in the garbage heap.

She took advantage of the fact that no one was around, turned into a fruit core and floated above the garbage heap, carefully identified it, and flew back to Sigrid with a question mark on her head.

Compared with other people who ate elegantly, Sigrid preferred to hold a whole lamb leg bone and chew on the bones and meat.

Lu Yu and the others knew this hobby, but she had to save face in front of outsiders, so she had to find a secluded corner after roasting the lamb leg.

"Every time I see you eat, I'm very hungry." The fog demon floated down and sighed when he saw Sigrid's heroic eating.

"Want some?" Sigrid raised the lamb leg that had not been gnawed off half of the meat to the fog demon, but the next second, she reacted.

"Sorry, I forgot you can't eat it."

The fog demon was used to the accidental injuries caused by this group of people's subconscious courtesy, and was too lazy to turn into a fist to tell Sigrid that she wanted to punch her.

"You have to wait to play cards. After eating this one, I have to eat something. I'm not full."

"Well, you eat it. I just want to ask you something."

Sigrid nodded while chewing, indicating that the fog demon should ask.

"You were raised by the elves as a subhuman vassal, right? What do the elves usually do with the vines and stamens of the sharp-toothed flower?"

"Vines, stamens?" Sigrid tore off a large piece of meat with her mouth and put the meat into her mouth, making a sound with difficulty.

After she finished chewing, she answered: "I remember correctly, these two places are where the sharp-toothed flower carries toxins, right?"

"The toxins on the pistil can paralyze the prey's perception, and the barbs on the vines store toxins that can corrode flesh and blood. These two places are the most poisonous on this monster."

"As for the use, I only remember that the elf elders in our place would capture some low-level sharp-toothed flowers, take the toxins from their pistils, dilute them, and use them against the enemy."

Until then, Sigrid came to her senses: "Why are you asking this?"

"I just saw the fragmented body of the sharp-toothed flower in the garbage dump of the sanctuary elves. The barbs on the vines disappeared, leaving only a large amount of mucus attached to them, and the pistil part disappeared."

The fog demon has tasted the power of the sharp-toothed flower.

The sharp-toothed flower is a monster that is not too rare in the dense forest.

Ordinary sharp-toothed flowers are basically ornamental flowers. They are eye-catching because of their jagged petals, and they are named because when they are about to wither, their petals close together like a mouth full of sharp teeth.

At this stage, even if you squeeze them together and drink juice, the toxins are at the stage where it is purely a hooligan to talk about toxicity without considering the dosage.

However, the higher the level, the more ferocious the sharp-toothed flowers become.

They can begin to break away from the soil with white wood and black iron ratings, and walk on the ground with the vines that grow out. At this time, the toxins in their bodies are already quite threatening. Although they are not fatal, they can make the prey feel the pain of being stabbed by hundreds of needles.

When it comes to the two ratings of fine steel and mithril, the vines in the body of the sharp-toothed flowers will have barbs. These toxins corrode flesh and blood, and plants and trees are no problem.

Not only that, at this stage, the sharp-toothed flowers will grow a second "stamen".

That is the second mouthpart of the sharp-toothed flower, which can devour flesh and blood and strengthen itself with magic.

When the fog demon was just born, it was locked up by Hogu to study. It didn't have much time to go out and play. It was a rare time to go out and play, and it encountered the sharp-toothed flower by chance.

The sharp-toothed flower, which was not picky about food, swallowed the fog demon into its stomach in one bite. If Hogu hadn't used his claws to open the stamens of the sharp-toothed flower, the fog demon could have returned to the world consciousness to prepare for reincarnation.

The dragon scholar that Hogu knew once commented on monsters like the sharp-toothed flower, saying that they were one of the best adaptors among plant monsters after magic appeared in this world.

Can absorb sunlight to maintain basic activities.

Can swallow magic to strengthen itself.

Can decompose blood and flesh into nutrients to make itself grow stronger.

No longer bound by the original form, using vines instead of hands and feet to move around and hunt.

Although they have no wisdom, their bodies can quickly adapt to changes in the environment. This ability is one of the best among many races.

After sleeping for many years, Huo Gu didn't know whether there were any intelligent races of sharp-toothed flowers now, but in short, he reminded the fog monster that if you encounter a sharp-toothed flower in the wild, try to have less contact with it.

Coupled with the childhood shadow of being almost digested by the sharp-toothed flower, even if the sharp-toothed flower has been tossed to pieces and the color of its body has faded, she can still recognize it.

At first, she thought that the sharp-toothed flower was also a plant, maybe a vassal of the elves, or the elves had some special way to use their toxins, but when Sigrid said this, the two of them were stunned at the same time.

Sigrid was still stable. She stopped the fog monster who was about to rush to remind Lu Yu, calmly took the roasted lamb leg and sat next to Lu Yu, and described what happened just now without any expression.

While talking, Sigrid's eyes kept stealing glances at Aesop.

Lu Yu's reaction was exactly the same as Sigrid's when she came to her senses, but he quickly covered it up.

He first looked at the kebab in his hand, and then glanced at Aesop, who was too embarrassed to urge Lulutis and could only look at the grill.

In Vanessa's cabin, Lu Yu also saw the description of the sharp-toothed flower when reading the monster literature.

Because Vanessa had a deep memory of this monster that once forced the disabled elves in the Silent Mountains into a desperate situation, the content was written very solidly.

The toxins on the vines of the sharp-toothed flower have a strong ability to corrode flesh and blood, so the application direction is basically related to combat.

Lu Yu was also afraid that he had missed some content because he read too hastily, so he took advantage of Aesop's absence to ask Lulutis if the sharp-toothed flower had other uses.

"What is the use of the vine's toxin? The only thing I can think of is poisoning and refining poison."

"Why do you ask this? I'm not very good at poisoning. I may not be able to mix the poisons that the Sharp Tooth Flower toxin can make."

After getting Lulutis's answer, Lu Yu told her about the discovery of the fog demon. Lulutis quickly looked at the cut beef and mutton not far away, as well as the wild vegetables skewered on skewers.

"Is it Aesop?" Lulutis asked, "No, those toxins react strongly to flesh and blood, and can only be put into liquids."

"Thank you for clearing Aesop's suspicion, because he didn't bring any alcohol this time, and he knew I didn't like to drink."

"Therefore, if someone sends any special liquid and invites us to take it later, we should be careful."

After a pause, Lu Yu added.

"Of course, we can't wrongly accuse people. After all, the world is big. Maybe Soleisen has some special research on the sharp-toothed flower, which led them to use the toxins from these two parts?"

"And they entered the Silent Mountains not long ago. These toxins may also be the special materials they prepared."

Lu Yu didn't say it for sure, but he had to be on guard.

After the barbecue continued, Aesop continued to eat the barbecue happily, but Lu Yu and his group suddenly had a bad appetite.

When Aesop asked, Lu Yu could only say that he was almost full.

Knowing that Lu Yu would leave Soleisen soon after completing the commission, these delicious dishes would be eaten less and less, so Aesop naturally accepted them all.

Basically, the fat sheep and fat cattle roasted by Lulutis later went into Aesop's stomach.

On the way, Aesop asked his follower for a glass of water to rinse his mouth. Lu Yu laughed, took the water, and casually hugged him, asking him to taste his barbecue skills.

Taking advantage of the moment when Aesop was reluctant to refuse, Lulutis put his tentacles into the water cup and tried it, and then told Lu Yu in the chat room that he could drink it.

Seeing Aesop eating stupidly and without any defense, combined with some speculation, Lu Yu basically eliminated the possibility that Aesop had poisoned him.

Originally, Lu Yu was not worried about Aesop. Even if the person who plotted against him had great courage, he would not kill Aesop.

But as soon as this thought came out, Lu Yu remembered the cause of the twenty-year war between Gran and Soresen.

Seeing that Lu Yu and his group were eating less and less, and thinking that they were almost full, an elder of the sanctuary elves waved his hand and came to Aesop with a group of servants.

Lu Yu looked at the trays in the hands of the servants, and then looked at the orange-yellow slurry in the crystal cups, and his heart shuddered.

"Your Highness and the Lord are having a meal, we are not in a position to disturb them, but this time Your Highness did not bring Soresen's fine wine and fruity drinks, it is a pity that the Lord cannot enjoy it."

"The Sanctuary Camp has a lot of preparations for this war, and there is still a lot of juice left, so I will give it to Your Highness and the Lord to drink."

Aesop looked at the crystal cup, and then at the fruity juice in the cup, and couldn't help laughing.

He laughed at the fact that these Sanctuary elves brought so many expensive and luxurious utensils even when they went out for adventures, and he laughed at himself as a prince, and his pomp might not be as big as these people.

But he did not refuse this very timely gift.

"Well, I was confused this time and didn't bring some of my father's private collection of fine wine. Lu Yu, you might as well try the Sanctuary. These people enjoy it better than me."

In response to Aesop's almost sarcastic words, someone in the Sanctuary elves clarified: "We also prepared this for Your Highness's arrival, but after Your Highness arrived at the camp, he set up his own camp, which made it impossible for us to offer it."

It was his fault, and Aesop was not annoyed. He was used to it.

Lu Yu listened to the conversation between Aesop and the elves of the sanctuary, and exchanged glances with Sigrid.

The elves of the sanctuary poured the juice in the large crystal cup into a wooden crane-billed pot, and then a female attendant came forward and filled the juice for Lu Yu, Aesop, Sigrid and others.

Aesop smelled the juice and admired that the juice these people drank was more mellow than his usual juice.

He raised the cup to Lu Yu and was about to drink it, but heard Lu Yu say.

"Wait a minute."

Lu Yu pushed the cup in his hand to Aesop and said, "In our Seris, there is a custom called drinking wine together. I wonder if Aesop is interested in experiencing it?"

"Oh, what is this special custom?"

"It's very simple, just exchange the drinks in the cup."

"Is it that simple?" Aesop took Lu Yu's cup curiously, but he didn't notice that the elves of the sanctuary behind him began to sweat on their foreheads.

"It's not simple. This custom actually has a special ritual occasion, and it needs to be completed with some actions?"

When he heard that it involved a ritual, Aesop became more curious: "Is it related to a magic ritual? What should I do? Just drink it directly?"

Seeing Lu Yu nod, Aesop raised his cup without thinking and drank.

"Your Highness, don't!"

This sudden, panicked shout scared Aesop's hand holding the cup.

The liquid in the cup poured out.

When the liquid was about to stain Aesop's skin, Lulutis flew out of the grill quickly, knocked the cup in his hand away, and blocked the falling liquid.

The liquid in the cup dragged, drew an arc, and fell into the silent sanctuary elves who had no time to say more.

The liquid attached to the front sanctuary elf servant, and the first one was safe because he blocked it with clothes.

The second one was stained by the liquid on his arm.

After a while, the flesh there began to turn black and rot. If it weren't for the fact that the toxin of the sharp-toothed flower became less active after leaving the body, this person would have been even worse.

Everything happened in an instant, from being inexplicable to being in shock, Aesop lay in the arms of the servant in a daze, speechless.

He pointed at the victim who tried his best to suppress his screams, but occasionally let out a wail, looked at Lu Yu, and then looked at the elves of the sanctuary.

From those dodging eyes, Aesop's scalp numbed, and a flame ignited from his heart, which had always been gentle.

The flame was so strong that the water called kindness flowing in Aesop's body dried up.

"After dealing with my sister, I am right now, am I!"

Unfortunately, his anger did not make sense of the situation.

Lu Yu took over the conversation softly, and compared to Aesop who was spewing hot anger in front of his finger, he was very calm.

He patted Aesop's shoulder, motioning him to calm down.

"They are targeting me, not you."

Lu Yu held the crane-billed pot and walked forward.

He searched for a while and found the mechanism. He pressed it lightly and the liquid in the cup poured out.

"Yin Yang Pot, the mechanism is poisonous when pressed, and non-toxic when not pressed... Unfortunately, I have seen more advanced things, and yours is just child's play."

"By the way." Lu Yu raised his head and asked, "Do you think you can get those secrets by killing me?"

"Okay, then come on."
