Chapter 104 Carnivorous plants?
After hearing Li He's reminder, everyone looked around quickly, but after looking for a long time, they asked uncertainly: "Is it really getting smaller?"
"It is indeed getting smaller, but very slowly." Li He said with certainty.
He was telling the truth. If his perception and brain calculations had not been improved after being promoted to a first-level wizard apprentice, and he could accurately see the length, width and height of the room, he would not have been able to determine it so easily.
Li He squinted his eyes and looked at the room. The numerical values displayed in his field of vision were shrinking.
After his words came out, as if the house realized that its purpose had been exposed, the shrinking speed suddenly accelerated. At the same time, the door that killed people closed with a bang, trapping everyone inside.
Everyone's faces turned ugly. They didn't want to end up being eaten. They quickly released spells and attacked the wall next to them. The idea is very clear, open a hole and get out of here.
"Swish!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang bang!"
Wind blades, ice picks, and balls of acid kept flying towards the wall. Soon the wall became crumbling, but it was still some time away from breaking. distance.
At this time, the room area had shrunk by more than one-third, making everyone feel the pressure.
"Hurry!"
"Let me do it!" There was a clear shout, and the first-level wizard apprentice of Thorn Valley stood up. She was a girl. She looked quite petite. Her face was about eighteen or nineteen years old, but she was less than one meter tall. Five, more like a child.
But as the other party drank, and uttered obscure spells in his mouth, his body expanded rapidly like air.
In just the blink of an eye, it expanded to a height of nearly two meters. In the process, the exposed skin was stained with a cold gray color, giving it a metallic texture.
"Break it!"
the female apprentice in Thorn Valley shouted, her voice became much rougher, and she exerted force on her feet, slamming into the crumbling wall.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and dense cracks appeared on the entire wall. The shrinkage of the room slowed down, and it made an overwhelming "squeak" sound as if it was affected by something.
But the female apprentice in Thorn Valley didn't feel well. She didn't fully master the spell she just cast. She cast it forcefully, but it returned to its original shape after a collision. At the same time, her arm showed an exaggerated bend, which was obviously broken.
The female apprentice's face was pale, and cold sweat oozed from her forehead because of the pain.
But the wall still didn't break.
At this time, the house resumed its contraction, speeded up, and swallowed everyone.
In just a moment, the roof was lowered by more than half, almost to the point where it could touch everyone's heads.
"Stop holding back, let's do it together, or we will die here!" Frank said solemnly, as if he had discovered something, "Use wind spells as much as possible, wind spells cause the most damage!" After hearing this
, , everyone took action one after another, and the wind blades flew towards the wall, cutting cracks on the surface.
The wall looked like it was about to burst, but it held on tenaciously, blocking everyone.
Everyone's breathing became rapid, and the expressions on their faces became more and more anxious.
Seeing everyone's performance, Li He raised his hand from the side. A ball of air gathered in his hand, compressed and recompressed, and turned into an opaque light gray air ball in a moment.
He waved his hand, and the light gray air ball roared out. It did not turn into a wind blade, but maintained a conical shape, like a cannonball hitting the wall.
"Boom!"
The air bomb exploded, the impact force was released, and a large hole was directly opened in the wall.
"Saved!"
Everyone was overjoyed and quickly escaped from the hole.
When everyone was safely outside, I turned around and saw that the original house had shrunk to the size of a box. Within a few seconds, it had shrunk to the size of an apple.
"Crack, click, click..."
There was the sound of chewing inside, and then two legs emerged from below. Under the gaze of everyone, they quickly ran towards the darkness and disappeared.
This...
everyone had different expressions, and they were all a little scared inside. It was really weird.
Who would have thought that a house was actually alive, not only did two people die inside, but the others almost didn't come out.
If it had been a little later, they might all have been eaten.
Li He stood nearby, looking at the disappearing cannibal house, but he was thoughtful, and couldn't help but think of a plant - pitcher plant.
There are some carnivorous plants on the earth, such as pitcher plants and Venus fly plants. They use secretions to lure insects into their interior, then close their "mouthparts" to trap the insects that enter, and secrete digestive juices to kill and absorb the insects. .
The cannibal house just now gave him such an impression.
Maybe it's a magical plant similar to pitcher plants in this world? Or maybe it's a demonized animal?
Li He thought about it, not sure, and thought that if there was a chance, he could try to capture someone for research.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Frank from Shadow Academy leaving the crowd and coming closer.
"Is something wrong?" He raised his eyebrows and asked aloud. From the moment he came into contact, he was suspicious and wary of the other party. He always felt that the other party's purpose of organizing so many people to explore the treasure was not too simple. But so far. Apart from the suspicion that the other party was using others as exploration pawns, they didn't find anything obviously wrong, so they could only stay on guard.
"Lynn from Ash Academy, right?" Frank, who came closer, whispered, as if he was asking for something, "The wind spell you released just now seems to have very strong attack power." "What?" Frank rubbed his
hands
. He stated his purpose: "If my guess is correct, it shouldn't be a standard spell, but an improved spell taught to you by your mentor? It just so happens that I am naturally interested in the wind energy factor and am very interested in improved wind spells... So, if possible, I would like to exchange the improved model of your spell with you."
Improved model? After hearing this, Li He blinked slightly and did not reply immediately.
The spell he cast was indeed improved, but the improvement was not very large. He only used some knowledge of fluid mechanics, so it was not as powerful as the acetylene oxygen explosion fireball.
But even so, it's not easy to teach the other person.
After all, he did not use the traditional improvement method in the wizarding world, but used scientific methods. Even if he was willing to tell the other party, the other party might not be able to understand it.
He thought for a while and did not refuse directly, but asked: "As a trade, what do you want to exchange?" "
I now have three improved spells, namely fire, earth and wood. If If you like, I can tell you their details and let you choose one." "
Fire, earth or wood... let me think about it. If possible, I would like to use this treasure exploration In exchange for a part of your income."
"Okay, let's see what we find next." Frank laughed in response, temporarily putting the matter aside.
Turning around and walking back to the crowd, Frank exchanged a few words with the people next to him. After a moment, he suddenly shouted excitedly: "What do you mean, you people from Thorn Valley are leaving?"
