Chapter 29 You're attacking my lunch!
"Huh?" Daisy was brought back to her senses by the shout and quickly looked in the direction Zhou Qing was pointing.
On a crooked tree, there was indeed a round, pink thing lying there, its appearance almost exactly like a domestic sow, even its grunting sounds were perfectly imitated.
But she quickly realized what she meant and explained, "That's not a sow, it's a plant-like pig, a carnivorous magical plant that can mimic human form."
"Its fruit can mimic the appearance of livestock to lure carnivorous monsters closer. Once the monsters lower their guard, it will use vines to entangle them and then slowly digest them."
As she spoke, Daisy gripped the skull staff in her hand and began to chant softly.
The obscure incantation echoed through the dim dungeon, and a dark ball of light gradually condensed in front of her, emanating a chilling aura.
Zhou Qing was staring at the sow, thinking to himself.
What is the difference between plant-based pig products and real pork?
Is this considered real pork?
Seeing Daisy create such a black ball, Zhou Qing quickly asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course we have to kill this monster." Daisy didn't even look up, focusing intently on maintaining her magic. "The vines of the boar are very resilient and poisonous, with a paralyzing effect. Getting entangled by them can be quite troublesome."
Zhou Qing stared at the dark ball of light, growing increasingly wary, and quickly stopped him, saying, "Wait, don't make a move yet!"
"Tell me, what kind of magic is this? If you attack a plant-based pig with this kind of magic, will it still be able to eat it?"
Daisy looked up, her eyes filled with confusion beneath her hood: "This is a withering spell, a necromancy specifically designed to target plant-based monsters. Once hit, the magical plant will quickly wither and rot."
"They're all withered, they definitely can't be eaten..."
"Can't eat it? Then don't attack me!" Zhou Qing immediately panicked and stepped forward to block Daisy.
"You're attacking my lunch!"
"Without this plant-based pig, what are we having for lunch today? Are you going to treat me to lunch?"
Before Daisy could react, Zhou Qing pulled out his enchanted wooden stick, rolled up his sleeves, and charged forward.
In his eyes, this was no monster at all, but a roasted pig that could climb trees!
Daisy stood there, stunned, muttering to herself, "So what if I'm treating? It's just a plant-based pig, why are you getting so worked up..."
Despite saying that, she stopped chanting, but the dark ball of light in front of her remained suspended in the air without dissipating.
Daisy's gaze was fixed on Zhou Qing's direction, and she was already prepared.
As soon as Zhou Qing gets trapped by the vines of the plant pig, she will immediately take action.
Zhou Qing quickly approached the plant-eating pig, and when he was still two meters away from it, the ground suddenly trembled slightly!
Immediately afterwards, four thick, toothed vines burst from the ground and swept towards him with a whistling sound!
The color of the vines blends almost seamlessly with the surrounding soil, making them virtually undetectable without close inspection. Clearly, this is a trap set up by the plant-eating pigs long ago.
Judging from this posture, they want to first restrain Zhou Qing firmly, and then slowly drag him into the ground to digest him.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing decisively put away the enchanted wooden stick.
Wooden sticks are not very effective against these tangling vines; it's much more flexible to use your bare hands.
I should have bought a sword or similar weapon back then. Even if I'm not good at using it, it could still come in handy now.
But then I thought, since I'm going to buy swords and weapons anyway, I might as well just buy kitchenware.
When I get back, I'll have to get a set of enchanted kitchen utensils. They'll make chopping vegetables and cutting meat easier, and I can even use them as weapons when I encounter monsters. It'll kill two birds with one stone!
Thinking this, Zhou Qing advanced instead of retreating, grabbing two vines that were sweeping towards him with both hands.
The sharp teeth on the vines bit into his skin, making a crunching sound, but they didn't leave a single mark, let alone break through his defenses.
"this one?"
Zhou Qing snorted disdainfully, and with a sudden burst of strength, he managed to snap the two vines in half.
The dark green liquid splashed all over him.
Seeing this, the remaining two vines coiled around him even more frantically.
Zhou Qing didn't panic at all. He went straight to the vine, grabbed it with both hands again, and tore it apart with force!
He also tore the other two toothed vines to shreds, and dark green sap spilled all over the ground.
After dealing with the vines, Zhou Qing walked a few steps to the crooked tree.
He stepped onto the tree trunk where the pig was planted, grabbed the fruit that resembled a sow with both hands, and with a little force, pulled the fruit off the tree trunk.
The fruit was heavy and firm to the touch, just like a real sow.
Zhou Qing nodded in satisfaction and casually put the fruit into his dark space.
This is our lunch, we can't lose it.
Daisy, who was not far away, was completely stunned.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word for a long time; only one thought remained in her mind.
What an incredibly strong physique!
Without any magic or weapons, he tore apart the plant-like pig's vines with brute force alone.
If it were to become an undead creature, it would definitely be incredibly powerful!
They could definitely become the top-tier corpse servants!
Thinking of this, Daisy subconsciously wiped away non-existent drool.
"Daisy, besides this fruit, can we eat the rest of the plant-like tree?" Zhou Qing asked, pointing to the trunk of the plant-like tree that he was stepping on.
"Yes," Daisy nodded, "Only the fruit is edible. It tastes similar to the livestock it mimics, but the texture is quite different. The rest of the trunk and vines are inedible."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing looked down at the tree trunk at his feet, and without any hesitation, grabbed the trunk and snapped it in two.
Then he casually tossed the tree trunk and the torn vines into the dark space.
Don't waste food that you can't eat. Wait until the second-floor stronghold to recycle it and exchange it for some silver coins.
Just then, Daisy's expression suddenly changed, her body tensed slightly, and she looked around warily, saying, "Not good! There are demonic wolves approaching, and quite a few of them!"
"Damn it, I completely forgot that there are usually other monsters lurking around these magical plants that attract carnivorous monsters."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's heart stirred.
Why can't I find anything? Is it some kind of detection magic?
He immediately pulled out his enchanted wooden staff, his expression turning serious, and asked, "In which direction exactly? How many are there?"
"There are about twenty of them rapidly approaching from our left rear!"
After Daisy finished speaking, she immediately began chanting a spell.
The two corpse servants that had been following Daisy were now either still protecting her or walking stiffly to the left rear, preparing to stop the demon wolf.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing no longer hesitated, gripped the enchanted wooden stick in his hand, and rushed in the direction Daisy pointed.
Zhou Qing had only taken a couple of steps when he also noticed the presence of the demonic wolf.
Suddenly, dark figures darted out from the bushes in front of them.
Twenty-nine glossy black wolves formed a fan shape and surrounded them.
Its bright green eyes were fixed on Zhou Qing and Daisy, and drool dripped from the corners of its mouth, clearly seeing them as prey delivered to its doorstep.
