Immediately afterwards, the vine behind it lashed out and tore a piece of flesh from the Rafflesia, which it then swallowed.
The plump chunks of meat followed the vines and went underground.
It's a Venus flytrap!
Bai Jinxuan frowned. According to the information published online, the Venus flytrap is the most aggressive predatory plant in the second layer.
It's like it's never satisfied, eating anything it sees, and its sharp teeth give it tremendous attack power, which is why it's known online as the "newbie killer"—"Sharp-Mouthed Bro".
The injured Rafflesia emitted a piercing shriek, completely ignoring the wound that was gushing out copious amounts of blood-red sap. Two vines grabbed the Venus flytrap's head and pulled it toward itself.
Immediately afterwards, the Rafflesia flower moved forward, its petals suddenly closing together, and the countless sharp teeth in the center snapped shut.
In an instant, the emerald green sap was splashed onto the petals of the Rafflesia.
"hiss--"
The Venus flytrap was missing a tooth. It struggled frantically, flung the Rafflesia aside, and then lowered its head to gnaw on a cluster of blood-red flower buds between the two.
But just then, the giant flower lashed out with its whip, scattering the flower buds first.
The crystal-clear liquid splashed out and evaporated in mid-air before it hit the ground.
In an instant, the Rafflesia and the Venus flytrap went berserk, tearing at each other without flinching, each focused on ripping flesh off the other.
Soon, they both perished because their foundations had been damaged.
Even in its final moments, the Venus flytrap still had a freshly torn Rafflesia petal in its mouth...
Bai Jinxuan approached the corpse and tried to pull at the piece of flesh, only to find that even as a near-level 1, she couldn't budge it.
Truly worthy of being the most aggressive
That's a powerful monster; it won't let go even if it dies.
She couldn't help but complain to herself, then turned to observe the flower buds they had just been fighting over.
Although the flower buds have been broken by the Rafflesia, the stems and leaves are still intact, which is why they are of research value.
Just now, it was after that strange liquid evaporated that the Venus flytrap and the Rafflesia became so frantic. Bai Jinxuan didn't believe there was no connection between them.
After looking at it carefully, it looked no different from ordinary grass. I tried poking it with a vine, but there was still no reaction.
It seems the main problem lies in the liquid inside the flower bud.
Since she couldn't find any flower buds nearby, Bai Jinxuan had no choice but to give up and turn to the corpse of the Rafflesia.
The scent it emitted was exactly the same as the scent of the powder, so she was certain that the powder was made from something on the Rafflesia plant.
Take out the telekinetic sword and begin the dissection.
First, there's the juice of the Rafflesia flower. This stuff is the raw material for life potions, much more valuable than slime, and it contains a lot of it; one petal is enough to fill a whole bucket.
Because two petals were eaten by the Venus flytrap, Bai Jinxuan could only harvest three petals, which is equivalent to three buckets of raw liquid. According to the material recycling information on the guild, one bucket is worth the price of 10 bottles of life potions.
In other words, these three barrels of raw liquid are estimated to be worth about six thousand yuan.
It's much more profitable than slime.
After filling the container with Rafflesia sap, she continued the dissection.
The petals have all been cut off, and the pointed tip looks rather scary, so I cut that off too.
Further down, there is a small, spherical fruit.
"Hmm? What is this?"
Bai Jinxuan sliced it off with her sword, but instead of immediately attacking, she kept her distance and used the tip of her sword to cut it open.
A rich aroma immediately wafted out, followed by a clear, gelatinous substance oozing out.
Seemingly due to contact with air, the gelatinous substance quickly crystallized, forming tiny white particles.
"It looks like the digestive organs of a Rafflesia plant? It shouldn't be dangerous, and besides, the taste and shape... it should be right."
She took out a bottle of mineral water from her treasure chest, put the white particles in, and after confirming that they had dissolved, she added a small piece of magic crystal.
Sure enough, the magic crystal melted before it even sank to the bottom.
Inserting another finger inside won't have any effect on your body.
So the girl on the black market was selling the digestive juices of the Rafflesia arboreum? Wait a minute, doesn't the Rafflesia arboreum eat people? Can people digest this stuff?
While wondering what was going on, she glanced at the corpse a few times and then noticed another fruit.
When cut open, green liquid flows out, instantly corroding the flesh underneath.
"what the hell."
The girl was startled and quickly moved aside.
It turns out that the Rafflesia has two digestive organs: one absorbs flesh and blood, and the other absorbs magic. The gelatinous substance that absorbs magic dissolves in water and becomes a liquid that can absorb magic.
Magic crystals are stones formed from pure magic power, so they will completely dissolve when placed inside...
Wasn't that girl selling it for a pittance? Selling a bag of dissolving powder for only 50 yuan, is that how you do business?
One Rafflesia flower can only produce about 5 bags of powder, which can be sold for 250 yuan. I can sell the original liquid I collect from 3 petals for 6000 yuan!
No, sister, this is only 3 leaves. If the Venus flytrap hadn't eaten the other two leaves, theoretically, you could earn 1 just from the juice of one Venus flytrap. Such precious digestive juice, you're selling it for 250?
Although it seems like nobody in the market knows that the digestive juice of Rafflesia can be used in this way, you're really good at doing business!
Volume 1: Chapter 37: The Girl Who Works Hard to Earn Money
After dissecting the Rafflesia, Bai Jinxuan also cut off the teeth of the predatory herb.
While the skin and flesh inside the mouth of the predatory herb can be sold for money, its most valuable part is its teeth, which are extremely sharp and are used as raw materials for certain mass-produced weapons.
She put the rest into her treasure box and stored it as trash.
Such heavy items are difficult to transport and sell. It's impossible for explorers to magically make these things disappear, bypass the guards' sight, smuggle them to the black market, and then recreate them to sell.
Once you do that, it's no different from telling others that you have a spatial item.
What will follow is the guild's relentless pursuit. Even if Bai Jinxuan wanted to let go, it would be useless. Her artifacts were already bound to her, and no one else could use them except her.
Therefore, she couldn't be greedy for this little bit of money. She could only position herself as a relatively capable explorer in front of others, not an invincible superhero who could do anything.
"These teeth should sell for several thousand, that'll be a huge profit."
With an income exceeding ten thousand yuan, plus five bags of medicinal powder, Bai Jinxuan was overjoyed.
Never had such a wonderful start!
The magic bandages I bought at great expense were fully recouped in less than ten minutes. If I go further in, who knows what other surprises I might find.
Since there was still time, Bai Jinxuan collected the powder, picked up her telekinetic sword, and continued walking forward.
Because it's a jungle, there are many monsters here, and the concentration of magic is also very high.
She could feel the joy within her body simply by breathing.
However, opportunity always comes with danger.
There were several tentacles lying across the road. Bai Jinxuan had seen these things before, used as fishing tools in the skeleton army, but she didn't know what they were called at the time.
I looked it up online and found out it's a predatory plant – squid sundew.
Its body hides in tree holes or underground. Its tentacles are very long, more than ten meters long, and also sticky.
Once caught, it's difficult to break free by brute force alone. If there are no other means to cut off the tentacles, then like a fish that has taken the bait, it will be dragged into a tree hole and devoured.
However, this posed no threat to Bai Jinxuan, who had already discovered its tentacles.
She raised her telekinetic sword and decisively slashed downwards, instantly breaking the tentacles in two, with transparent sap splattering everywhere.
The girl, disgusted by the dirt, quickly took two steps back. Only after the tentacles had twisted and turned on the ground until they were exhausted did she come closer and put them into the treasure chest.
This large tentacle can be used to make sticks or cups, and the fresher it is, the higher the price.
I estimate I can earn several thousand.
There are eight tentacles like these in total.
Bai Jinxuan swiftly slashed the squid and water lily, and in a few quick movements, the squid was completely wiped out, its tentacles gone.
"The scent of money, how wonderful."
After carefully collecting all the spoils, the girl smiled triumphantly.
Ignoring the squid-like sundew trembling in the tree hole, she strode forward, continuing deeper and deeper, unstoppable.
After successively defeating the monsters that the guild said "newbie level 2 explorers need to be careful of," Bai Jinxuan felt that she was almost at the level of a level 1 explorer.
This rate of progress is terrifying in the Fifth Sect, but considering that I could drink the medicine and actually drink 12 bottles a day without exploding and dying, and that I also have Yao Yao's talent, it's not impossible to create such a legend.
After all, there's already a precedent with Yao Yao. As her childhood friend, it's normal for him to have some talent, right?
With that thought in mind, she slipped into the shadows, dodging the Venus flytrap that tried to ambush her, and continued on her way.
In fact, she had a general idea.
She was able to kill the Venus Flytrap, but the problem was that she had only been on the second underground level for a short time and did not yet know if the Venus Flytrap had any hidden moves. In order to play it safe, she chose to activate Rune.
She had already learned her lesson from the lack of intelligence from Tier 3 explorers and skeletons.
Twenty minutes later, Bai Jinxuan found the skeleton soldier's footprints.
Since the monsters on the second underground level are all plant predators, completely different from the skeleton soldiers, the skeleton soldiers' footprints are quite easy to distinguish.
The skeleton army is already numerous, so even if they enter the jungle, it will be difficult for them to completely conceal their tracks.
Not long after following the footprints, several flower buds appeared by the roadside.
It's the flower bud that the Rafflesia and Venus flytrap were fighting over!
Bai Jinxuan immediately moved closer to examine it and discovered that it only looked like a flower bud, but was actually a fleshy sac filled with transparent liquid.
"It seems to be releasing some kind of drug to attract other predatory plants?"
Upon noticing the surrounding monsters stirring and eager to seize the fleshy sac, Bai Jinxuan thought for a moment and, finding a syringe in the box, took it out.
She originally bought the syringe to make the medicine look more high-end and sell it at a higher price like other inhibitors on the market, but she never expected it to come in handy here.
Without hesitation, she quickly aimed the needle at the sac, inserted it, and sucked out all the liquid inside.
Acquire the mysterious potion that can make predatory plants go berserk!
If you encounter the Undead Guild later, just throw one into the skeleton army and attract all the predatory plants nearby. How disgusting is that?
Bai Jinxuan's lips curled into a mischievous smile.
The four red fleshy sacs consumed 10 syringes. There were originally enough syringes for 12, but she only bought 10 and simply didn't want the rest.
After taking two deep breaths, the girl picked up her sword and found the next skeleton soldier's footprints.
"It should be around here..."
This time, the skeleton soldiers' footprints were dense and chaotic, indicating that they often roamed this area.
The situation was quite serious, so Bai Jinxuan decided to temporarily stop training and instead transform into a terrifying old lady to stealthily pursue the enemy.
A short while later, following the footprints through the jungle, she saw a dense group of white skeletons in the wasteland not far away.
Each of them wielded a bone knife and a bone shield, roaming around, their intimidating presence far greater than that of the Potions Capital.
Behind the group of skeleton soldiers, a small stone building stood out conspicuously.
"Finally found!"
Bai Jinxuan took the opportunity to mark the edge of the jungle. With the jungle as cover, it would be difficult for her to be discovered when she teleported over.
With all the tasks successfully completed, she knew the Undying Secret couldn't have gone far. With her superior map-finding abilities, escape? Dream on!
As for what they wanted to do, Bai Jinxuan wasn't in a hurry at all. She had found a base, and the other party couldn't escape. Sooner or later, they would reveal their true colors.
What she needs to do is improve herself as quickly as possible, and... wait.
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in the girl's blood-red eyes. She gripped the short sword in her hand and silently walked into the jungle behind her.
