Absolute Great Teacher Novel - Chapter 961
Chapter 961: Magic Beanstalk
Numerous bumps jutted out of the earth, showing a type of worm that was about a meter long. They looked like earthworms and crawled out of the soil.
Just like when the swallows flying low and ants moving house, this was a sign that it was going to rain.
And as expected, not long later…
Pitter patter!
Raindrops the size of beans pelted down. It was gradual at the start and slowly became dense rainlines.
The leaves of the man-eating flowers after being rained upon became even more verdant, glistening with moisture.
“Damn!”
Sun Mo stood on a large leaf and continuously used his sword to whack the stem to vent his unhappiness.
They had really screwed up this time around.
Leaving aside the fact that he didn’t manage to save anyone, one of his people was even caught and the person he caught had fled.
Ever since Sun Mo came to this world, he had not suffered such a great loss before.
“Sun Mo, calm down.”
Murong Mingyue persuaded.
The rain drenched her body, causing some strands of her hair to stick on her face.
“I understand, don’t worry.”
Sun Mo inhaled deeply and forced himself not to think of random thoughts. He should hurry up and calm down to think of a solution that could resolve the situation.
But at this moment, the surrounding man-eating flowers suddenly bent and were like venomous snakes hunting prey, lunging forward.
“Careful!”
Sun Mo dodged as he waved his sword.
Ci~
The ‘large mouths’ of two man-eating flowers were slashed apart. Green juice sprayed out.
Murong Mingyue also attacked and broke the stems of the man-eating flowers in the surroundings to guarantee their safety.
“The powder on our bodies is washed away!”
Murong Mingyue reminded Sun Mo. “We have to quickly leave this place.”
Truly, when it rains, it pours. Lian Fangcao was not present, and Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue had even lost their geographical advantage. Let alone rescuing people, it would already be not bad if they could safely charge out of the camp for the second time.
“Mn, let’s find a safe place first.”
Sun Mo prepared to survey the surroundings and choose a direction to escape. In the end, the sound of wind breaking rang out. He instinctively held Murong Mingyue close and rushed out.
Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!
Spears were thrown forth.
“Kill them!”
Actually, Qian Mulin had arrived a few minutes ago. He didn’t attack them earlier because he wanted to wait for the heavy rain.
At this moment, Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue were besieged by danger. As the two of them were fleeing, they had to shuttle through the man-eating flower field. Those man-eating flowers were like ferocious beasts that had not eaten any meat for three years. All of them lunged over and bit down fiercely.
Although the man-eating flowers couldn’t move, their stems could rotate 360 degrees and their hunting radius was pretty large.
Swish! Swish!
Behind them, spears kept flying over, disrupting their escape path.
This rain was a heavy one.
Very soon, the soil on the ground turned to mud. When their boots stepped on it, it was very squishy and lowered their speed. Because of it, Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue could only use the leaves as footholds and leaped around instead of running.
Now, it was easier to get attacked by the man-eating flowers.
“They are waiting for us to be killed by the man-eating flowers!”
Murong Mingyue frowned.
It was impossible for them to try and counter-kill the enemies because of Mu Qianlin’s presence.
He was a Longevity Realm expert.
“Are the powder on their bodies not washed away?”
Sun Mo furrowed his brows.
“They must have changed to another type of secret medicine that can repel the man-eating flowers!”
Murong Mingyue was very intelligent and guessed correctly after a single try.
As aboriginals that grew up here, their understanding of the man-eating flower field was very deep. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have dared to construct a campsite here.
“Let me open up a path!”
Sun Mo activated his Invulnerable Golden Body while executing the Dharma Skyshock Fist, blasting the man-eating flowers ahead into pieces.
When fighting against opponents like these that didn’t know how to use their brains, the most suitable method was to unleash a cultivation art that had eruptive might.
Murong Mingyue wanted to say that if this continued, it would be like drinking poison to quench one’s thirst. After all, the amount of spirit qi consumed would be very great and they wouldn’t have any excess strength to fight against the aboriginals.
But when she saw how calm Sun Mo was, Murong Mingyue decided not to say anything. Clearly, Sun Mo had considered all of this.
Yeah!
Sun Mo didn’t even give up when facing the Saint Ten-Thousand Leaves. How would he be dispirited by this place?
Strong people were not merely strong in terms of strength.
It was their mentality! And will too!
Sun Mo’s mind contained no information about this type of man-eating flowers, but he was very well-read and had knowledge of many other samples. He could easily find a similar example.
Various plants could be grouped into different categories, and they would naturally follow the ‘rule’ of the category they belonged to.
Sun Mo skimmed through the data of a few different types of man-eating flowers in his mind. Their natural enemies were either pollen from other plants or excrement from certain animals, etc. All these could be used to avoid the user from being attacked by the man-eating flowers.
For any ecosphere, balance was required. However, places with man-eating flowers were an exception because a food chain couldn’t be established.
Sun Mo’s gaze turned toward the Vile Canyon.
After that, his eyes brightened.
On the ground, he could occasionally see bugs that resembled earthworms. They were joyfully weaving in and out of the watery soil in the rain. This should be the time where they drank water and breathed.
The man-eating flowers didn’t attack them. On the contrary, when some of the bugs accidentally got near, the man-eating flowers would rear backward.
“Could the secret be in these bugs?”
Sun Mo guessed. He immediately used his Dragon Capturing Hands and grabbed a bug from seven meters away. He immediately squashed it, allowing its blood to drip onto his head.
“It’s useless!”
The man-eating flowers still attacked Sun Mo.
“Could my deduction be wrong?”
Sun Mo continued to analyze.
These bugs lived in the Vile Canyon, but they were not eaten by the man-eating flowers. The reason must be because they were like earthworms and through their metabolism, they could increase the fertility and water storage capacity of the soil.
This was beneficial to the man-eating flowers, but it wasn’t enough to constitute the reason why the bugs were not being eaten. Because, in the world of nature, there was not a single species that could live on by relying on the mercy and benevolence of another species.
“There must be something I don’t know about these bugs!”
Sun Mo activated Divine Sight and surveyed these bugs attentively.
Swish~
Various data gushed forth like a waterfall before Sun Mo’s eyes. After that, a sentence drew his attention.
“Smelly sac?”
In the bodies of these bugs, there was a sack that contained smelly juice. They would spray this juice out when they were attacked by their natural predator.
They were like the ink sacs of squids.
“It must be this thing, right?”
Sun Mo caught another bug. He slashed it open with his sword and dragged the smelly sac out. After that, he crushed the sac.
Pu!
A black inky liquid sprayed out. After that, an intense stench like fermented excrement mixed with swill that had been out in the sun for a year plus rotting corpses of animals spread through the air.
Urg!
Sun Mo almost puked.
Just when Murong Mingyue wanted to ask about what Sun Mo was doing, she saw the man-eating flowers who were originally lunging at Sun Mo suddenly stopped.
“You found the solution?”
Murong Mingyue’s eyes brightened as she felt impressed in her heart.
Wasn’t this a little too outstanding?
“This inference ability is so awesome!”
The system, who had been observing Sun Mo, sighed ruefully.
Some people only knew rote learning, while others could infer many things from the slightest details. Sun Mo belonged to the latter category. Even if he didn’t become a great teacher, he would still be among the elites if he chose another profession.
…
Mu Qianlin was far behind them, waiting for Sun Mo to be bitten by the man-eating flowers before he headed over to deal with the aftermath.
Hunt them personally?
Mu Qianlin had no interest in it. His thoughts were on their holy ground. How should he annihilate all the human invaders?
“Haha, look at them jumping around like locusts. How foolish!”
“That direction leads to the magic beanstalk. I think they wouldn’t even imagine in their wildest dreams that they are heading toward the central area of the Vile Canyon. Even if they get fatigued to death, it’s impossible for them to exit the canyon.”
“They should just wait and become fertilizer!”
The aboriginals ridiculed and sneered. They could already see the scene of Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue getting abused to death. It could also be a form of entertainment.
But very soon, they were no longer calm.
“Brother Mu, there’s a situation!” An aboriginal shouted.
“What’s the matter?”
Mu Qianlin glanced ahead. After that, he was stunned.
The two invaders were leaping around the flower field and their movements were nimble and agile. It was actually very nice to look at.
Naturally, the main point was why did the man-eating flowers stop attacking them?
“What’s going on?”
Mu Qianlin asked in shock. Even aboriginals like them who grew up here would be attacked by the man-eating flowers if they didn’t apply the secret medicine from their elders.
“No idea.”
The aboriginals had stunned looks on their faces. Sun Mo had casually killed a few bugs earlier. From their point of view, he was merely trying to eliminate the threat, there was no other special meaning.
This was the disparity in terms of knowledge and intellect.
Sun Mo had placed the answer before their eyes, but they still couldn’t see it.
“Could Sister Fangcao have given them the secret medicine?”
“Impossible.”
The aboriginals all spoke out at once.
In days of heavy rain like this, if there were no special needs to do so, even the greenhaze aboriginals wouldn’t enter the Vile Canyon. This was because, if they didn’t want to be eaten by the man-eating flowers, they had to apply an even higher grade of the secret medicine.
And this powerful secret medicine could only be concocted by the head elder. Moreover, it was said that the concoction process was very complicated and took a lot of effort, so the tribesmen usually wouldn’t waste it.
The rain was very heavy and the liquid on Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue was soon washed away. There was no solution to it. The two of them could only continue to kill more bugs and spill the smelly juices on their bodies once again.
This time around, Mu Qianlin personally saw Sun Mo using his sword and piercing the smelly bugs, allowing their bodily fluids to drench his body.
“So the reason is because of the bugs!”
Mu Qianlin felt his heart trembling. Since Sun Mo and Murong Mingyue could suppress his younger brother, they surely wouldn’t look so miserable just from killing a bug. This indicated that everything was premeditated.
And linking this with the fact that the man-eating flowers were not attacking them, the answer was obvious.
Swish~
Mu Qianlin immediately turned his head and glanced at his tribesmen. When he saw that they were still dumbstruck, he heaved a sigh of relief.
One must know that in the entire tribe, only his father knew how to concoct this secret medicine. This was also one of the capitals of an elder.
If others learned how to concoct it, the position of his father would be shaken.
“No, we have to kill them as soon as possible.”
Mu Qianlin increased his speed. His expression transformed to a murderous one.
“Sun Mo, they caught up…ah!”
As Murong Mingyue spoke halfway, she suddenly cried out. In their vision, a gigantic green-colored beanstalk could be seen. It was somewhat crooked and extended upward all the way into the clouds.
W…wasn’t this a little too high?
What was in the area above the beanstalk?
Could it be a heavenly palace?
After seeing this beanstalk, Sun Mo smiled.
Was the Longevity Realm so impressive?
Today, even if a hegemon at the Legendary Realm came, he would also die!
A battle strategy slowly took form in Sun Mo’s mind.
