Chapter 1923: Utricularia variabilis

"Master Master, it's like this. Robinson and I put the suction pipe into the lake. After the pump started working, we stayed here. We used a long stick to push away the duckweed and water weeds on the water to prevent debris from being caught. In the suction pipe, damage the water pump."
"After a short while, Sinbad came over carrying a fishing rod. He also said that the lake is very clear and the fat fish swimming at the bottom of the lake can be seen with the naked eye. He wanted to catch a few fat fish and bring them back to the boat. Cook a specialty dish."
"Robinson and I were watching Sinbad fishing by the lake. It was obvious that a big fish had been hooked, but was sucked away by a strange undercurrent under the water and disappeared."
"Weird things like this happened twice in just over ten minutes, so it's not accidental."
"Robinson suspected that there was something weird at the bottom of the lake, so he took off his coat and went into the water to check. However, the waters just near Sinbad’s release were like being dragged by an invisible demon hiding under the water. The whole person sank instantly and disappeared. There is no trace in the depths of the undercurrent."
"When Sinbad saw this, he was so anxious that he couldn't even take off his clothes. He dropped his fishing rod and jumped into the lake, trying to rescue the hapless Robinson, but he was not spared, and he was lurking at the bottom of the lake. The devil dragged on..."
Speaking of this, Gulliver couldn't help but choked with anxiety.
At this time, Audrey and Holden also rushed over, and they all changed their faces when they learned that Robinson and Sinbad were missing in the lake.
"What else? We have to go into the water to save people!" Holden said eagerly.
"Don't worry, before saving people, we must at least figure out where Robinson and Sinbad are now, and what monsters attacked them." Audrey was barely composing.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see any monsters under the water. Robinson and Sinbad disappeared as soon as they approached the big tree by the lake..."
Gulliver pointed to the opposite side, about a hundred feet away from the shore, tall plants rose in the lake, growing yellow and white florets, dense and prosperous branches and leaves crawling on the water, as if spreading out a green woolen blanket.
"Who knows what tree it is?" Holden looked at his companions beside him.
"It looks like a giant Lamia plant, not so much a tree, but rather a water plant."
Qiao An looked at the plants in the water, her eyes sharpened.
"Can aquatic plants grow so tall? It's like a big tree!" Holden exclaimed in disbelief.
"Natural aquatic plants are usually impossible to grow so tall. I suspect this is a supernatural plant with hunting ability, similar to the'big flytrap'." Qiao An guessed.
At this time, Hailar and Captain Odysseus also rushed to hear the news. Seeing the weird plant by the lake, Captain Odysseus suddenly changed his face.
"Oops! It's a mutant Utricularia, and I blame it. I didn't notice this terrible plant floating near the lakeshore in time. Robinson and Sinbad must have been sucked into the hunting sac by the mutant Utricularia. !"
"What kind of monster is the mutant Utricularia, and what is the hunting bag?" Holden asked curiously.
"Utricularia is an insectivorous plant that lives in water, and the mutant Utricularia is a huge subspecies of this plant."
According to Captain Odysseus' prompt, Joan pointed to the root of the mutant Utricularia.
"Look carefully, there are many transparent sac-like cavities growing on the stem of the mutant Utricularia submerged underwater, which is a hunting sac."
"The air pressure in the hunting sac is very low and close to a vacuum. The mouth of the sac has an organ that resembles an air valve. It is usually closed tightly. If a creature like fish or shrimp approaches, the air valve will automatically open to the prey into the sac. Then close the valve to prevent the prey from escaping."
"After the Utricularia catches aquatic insects, the inside of the sac wall secretes digestive juice, which takes up to several days to slowly dissolve and absorb the prey."
"The mutant Utricularia is larger, and the amount of digestive juice secreted is not only larger, it is likely to be more corrosive. We must rescue Sinbad and Robinson as soon as possible, otherwise they will be in danger."
After hearing Qiao An’s warning, everyone thought of Sinbad and Robinson suffocating to death in the "hunting sack" of the mutant Utricularia vulgaris. The body was corroded by the digestive juice into a pus and blood, and they couldn't help but worry. Feel the fear from the heart.
Saving people is imperative, the question is how to save.
Standing on the shore cast a spell to attack the mutant Utricularia, although it is not difficult to destroy it, but it is difficult to guarantee that Sinbad and Robinson will not be accidentally injured.
If you are rescued, Sinbad and Robinson’s encounters are in sight. Who can guarantee that they will not be swallowed by that terrible "vacuum hunting bag"?
Just as everyone was thinking about countermeasures, a high-pitched long hum suddenly came from behind, followed by heavy footsteps quickly approaching.
Qiao An turned his head to look at the place where the abnormal movement came, and saw a tall figure flying down from the opposite hillside from a distance.
This sturdy creature with an elephant head is nine feet tall, dressed in leather armor, and has light gray skin covered with small folds. It has strong limbs and huge ears. The most impressive feature is the face on his face. A flexible trunk and a pair of sharp arc-shaped fangs, and a thick cable with anchors on the shoulders.
"Monster! Monster!"
Dolly the Parrot was also the first time she saw a living elephant, flapping her wings and screaming in fright.
The elephants rushed straight to the lake, shaking their trunks as they ran, and sounding sharp and long sounds like an alarm, seeming to be trying to disperse the outsiders gathered on the lake.
Although Captain Hailar and Odysseus have repeatedly emphasized that elephants are friendly and hospitable and will not take the initiative to attack outsiders, but when they set foot on Elephant Island for the first time, Joan and Zion’s sisters couldn’t help being hostile when they saw each other’s aggressive posture. Lenovo’s direction, hurriedly retreated and dodged, while preparing for battle.
The Elephant Man ignored the nervous outsiders, and ran by Qiao An and the others. He didn't stop until the place where Sinbad was fishing just now. He looked at the mutant Utricularia in the opposite lake, annoyed. He patted his forehead.
Just when everyone was guessing what the monster intended, the elephant man untied the iron anchor on his shoulders, held the cable and whirred the anchor like a windmill, and then threw it hard, and the anchor slammed on it. On the ground, deeply embedded in the reef, sparks splashed.
The elephant pulled the cable straight to make sure that the anchor is firmly stuck on the reef. After that, he took off his jacket and threw it on the ground. He skillfully wrapped the cable around his waist, buckled the clasp with a click, and locked it on himself, forming A strong lifeline.
The elephant man got ready, just shirtless, jumped into the lake with a rope, and swam to the mutant Utricularia. A fierce man plunged into the water, only the tip of the elephant’s trunk was exposed, like a thick tube, for him Provides air for normal breathing during underwater activities.
