"What's wrong?" Kate asked.
"What I perceive is very vague. I have never tried to get such a weak feeling from Princess Kaguya since the contract." The elf frowned, "It's like it was deliberately covered up. This is not normal."
"Since that person can lurk in the bamboo forest, I think he must have some means, which is not surprising." Kate comforted, "You only need to tell us truthfully what you sensed, and leave the rest to us. "
"Then, okay." The elf forest guard glanced at Kate, finally nodded, and began to tell.
According to his induction, a life form had indeed entered the bamboo forest, and his aura was very weak, as if he had used some method to hide it. If Kaguya hadn't been very sensitive to changes in element concentration in the bamboo forest, she wouldn't have noticed this guy's presence.
And this creature that came in must be the Bamboo Shoot Snatcher.
"Is that all?" If there was only this, it would only verify their conjecture and not make any substantial breakthrough, so Kate asked again, "Are there any other clues?"
"There is nothing else," the elf forest guard frowned and recalled, "Oh, that's right! I remembered it! The reason why that life form can hide itself is because he is also a plant summoner. According to this The smell coming from the bamboo leaves, that person's natal item, had a strange floral fragrance, which made Kaguya feel very uncomfortable."
"Is it the floral fragrance that makes Kaguya feel comfortable?" Kate saw the elf guard racking his brains and couldn't think of any other details, and said softly, "Thank you, this information is very helpful. We will catch the culprit as soon as possible."
After saying goodbye to the elf forest guard, the two of them walked on the grass. Kate looked at Yi Liuling: "I heard from Misuna that your real name is also a plant, right?"
"Yes." Yi Liuling replied.
"So, from the perspective of colleagues, what kind of floral fragrance do you think can be annoying to plants?" Kate herself is a mage. Naturally, she has no experience in communicating with natal props, so she can only ask Yi Liuling.
"Generally speaking, the hostility of plants is much weaker than that of animals... than that of Warcraft, unless it is the kind of mortal enemy that threatens each other's survival, such as the growth of the same metal, and often compete with each other for mineral veins. Manhua." Yi Liuling thought about it seriously, "But according to what I know, Kaguya doesn't seem to have any natural enemies, right?"
"Indeed, Kaguya's bamboo forest has its own elemental force field, which usually does not overlap with other plants." Kate nodded, "So, the prisoner's natal prop cannot be determined?"
"It's not completely impossible to determine, because since it's not a specific hostility, it's probably something that most plants hate, such as leaf-eating vines that feed on other plants or dodders that are parasitic on other plants. "Yes." Yi Liuling thought for a moment, "But when it comes to the peculiar floral fragrance, could it be..."
"What is it?"
"Kate, you should have heard of the Noon Orchid, right?" Yi Liuling said to Kate. Seeing the latter nodding, she continued, "The floral fragrance of the Noon Orchid can attract a large number of Pier bees, causing them to devour themselves. But there is also another plant that has a similar method, but the target is another plant."
"I think I've heard of what you're talking about. Is it called Loose Powder Pill?" Yi Liuling reminded her, and Kate also reacted.
It's not that she also has a lot of research on plants, but the powder pill is also famous among spiritual plants, but its reputation is not very good, and it can even be considered a bit wretched.
Loose powder pill is a kind of shrub. At the end of its thicker branches, there is a thumb-sized bead that looks like a pill, hence its name.
At first glance, this pill-like thing looks like a fruit, but in fact it is its flower, and it is not solid. It will explode with a light touch. Wrapped in a thin skin is a pile of transmitter-like structures, filled entirely with pollen. Once the flowers burst, the pollen will be sprayed into the air and splashed onto surrounding objects.
This kind of pollen has a strange fragrance, which can attract insects just like the fragrance of noon orchid. However, it does not target only one kind of insect, so the effect is not as strong as that of noon orchid, and will not drive the Pierre bees crazy. .
This kind of pollen was originally thought by scholars to be the self-protection mechanism of the hibiscus, because this special flower covers the entire hibiscus plant, so that no matter what direction it is touched, there will always be at least one to three flowers. activation. The pollen then clings to the attackers and makes them a tasty meal for other insects.
Therefore, at that time, hibiscus was only regarded as an interesting plant. It was not until a student wrote an observation diary about hibiscus in order to complete his homework that the true nature of this thing was exposed.
Loose powder is usually a relatively peaceful and quiet plant. As long as you don't touch it, it will not affect you. However, when it comes to the season of preparation for fruiting, photosynthesis alone cannot meet its nutritional needs, and at this time, the powder will begin to plunder.
First, its flowers will explode on their own without being touched, causing the surrounding plants to be contaminated with pollen, and eventually eaten by insects. The pollen produced during this special period has a stronger fragrance than usual, a darker color, and there are naturally some differences in composition.
According to the student's diary, after the insects swallowed these dark pollen, they would behave strangely, and then they would fly back to the roots of the powder and die, turning into nutrients for it.
If this was the case, it was only a matter between the powder pill and the injured insect, so the student initially thought that the surrounding plants had suffered an unreasonable disaster. In order to confirm this conjecture, he transplanted a rhododendron plant alone somewhere, only to find that the plant would not burst into bloom unless there were other plants around it.
So, after further analysis, the student determined that the nutrients required for the fruiting of the powder do not come from dead insects, but from other plants, which is also related to the bright moonlight. The bright moon is the key to the evolution of many spiritual plants. These evolved plants usually have the crystallization of the power of the bright moon's light in their bodies. It is this part that the powder pill wants to plunder. Those insects are just tools for transporting energy.
In addition, he also found that even if the pollen is not contaminated, as long as the pollen is brought close to other plants and they are allowed to "smell" the smell, the latter will show obvious changes in their smell and will grow in the opposite direction. Moreover, two adjacent Loose Pink Plants will not care about the friendship of the same clan, and the pollen will be sprayed accurately. Therefore, most of the Loose Pink Plants that people see in the wild are from a single plant.
"How could someone contract a loose powder pill to be his life prop?" Kate couldn't understand it, and then her face changed, "Wait a minute, is it possible that he took the bamboo shoots just to feed his life prop?"
"Good guy, are you really taking it home and frying it?" Yi Liuling also thought of this possibility, "Hurry up and investigate who's natal prop is this thing."
