Chapter 75 – White hairs (1/2)

Translated by Sunyancai

A drop of cold sweat slipped down from Shao Xuan’s forehead.

If he had not raised his head, would one of his eyes have been stabbed?

Undoubtedly, it seemed to be some harmless white fur, yet they could pierce through the thick leaves and pierce themselves into the enclosed space. If the leaves weren’t that thick and the white fur pierced right inside, Shao Xuan would have been wounded anyway, even if he had moved his head.

No wonder Ah-Suo and the others mentioned that it was more than dangerous in this place, and carelessness meant death sometimes.

Thinking about earlier when they were besieging the jumping fruit tree, Shao Xuan realized that if any warrior had hesitated when withdrawing, he would totally have become a white haired hedgehog, for there would’ve been no chance for him to arrive at the shelter in time. There was no suitable object that could be used as a shelter anywhere near the jumping fruit tree.

Shao Xuan smelled some blood in the air, which meant that some warrior was hurt. However, there was no scream at all. everyone’s breathing was regular, except for two people, who were breathing faster than the others.

After a while, Ta said, “You go out and check, Ah-Suo.”

“Okay.”

Ah-Suo opened a crack between the two leaves, and checked outside, “We can go out now.”

“Open it.” Ta told the others to open the enclosed leaves.

Ka, ka, ka!

There were sounds like cracking wooden planks, and their vision became brighter with the light.

The white fur that almost wounded Shao Xuan’s eye was not the only one that had pierced through the leaves. There were quite a lot of them, some were pierced deep while the others were not that deep. The blood that Shao Xuan smelled came from the hands of two warriors.

Since they had to pull the leaves together with their bare hands, their hands would be the first to bear the brunt. When not lucky enough, they would bleed because of the pierced white fur.

Five warriors were pulling the leaves, while two of them were wounded. It was already a good circumstance.

However, the white fur carried poison on its tip, and the poison would cause long-term anticoagulation. Even if it was only a small wound, warriors still couldn’t heal and stop the bleeding by relying on their own healing ability. Those two warriors who were wounded already had numb arms. The others quickly poured the light green liquid from the gourds on their wounds. Later on, the wounds stopped bleeding.

“How are the others?” Ta asked.

“We have three people injured. Who else has the water? Come here!” a warrior from the other plant shouted out.

“We’re good in here! Only one was hurt!”

All of them were busy dealing with the wounded people, and Shao Xuan contributed some of the liquid in his gourd as well.

The whole place was filled with white hairs. In some places there were more hairs, while in some places there weren’t that many of them. However, the attacking range of the white hairs was quite large, thanks to which it also cost the lives of some insects and birds. white hairs could be seen all over the giant trees, plants, and vines.

Such a wide range of indiscriminate attack could only be considered as a devastating disaster.

There were not many giant animals in the woods, for giant figures equaled to giant targets. In this place ruled by the plants, giant animals had relatively less advantages. Even ferocious beasts such as the Thorn Black Wind, they probably would not have the ability to survive in here. So, aside from little animals or insects such as the giant dragonflies and the tearers, that could well adapt to the environment, other animals would keep their distance away from this land. After all, the indiscriminate attack’s lethality was too big, and the one that Shao Xuan just experienced was merely one of those attacks.

On the ground, there was a one-meter bird with a huge beak. It got stabbed by two white hairs, and was flapping its wings powerlessly. However, the flapping did it no good, for all his muscles were becoming numb, and it could not control its talons.

Whoosh!

A blood-colored vine reached out from the tall bushes and rolled the bird over before dragging it back. The bird struggled fiercely, but it was of no avail.

In the end, the vine and the bird both disappeared in the depth of the bushes, and only sounds of flapping could be heard.

Then there was a slight ‘puff’ sound.

Then it was all quiet again.

Since they entered the woods, Shao Xuan had seen no remains of any creature. So it seemed that perhaps there were a lot of “cleaners” in these woods, that could drag away all those dead or disabled creatures, and then digest them into nourishment
