Gradually, the prey no longer struggled
The vines wrapped them layer upon layer like maroon cocoons, dragged them to their rootstalk, and started to enjoy their food at ease.
Strong smell of blood reeked in the air.
Several unrepentant vines still tried to hunt Yin Nanzhao and Luo Xun. Yin Nanzhao was about to cut them off by the root when Luo Xun suddenly said, "Don't cut!"
She took out a bottle of hemostatic agent from her marching bag and sprayed it ferociously at a vine that rushed over.
The vine that was not afraid of bullets and scythe unexpectedly dodged to avoid.
Luo Xun was full of pleasantly surprise. She madly sprayed the hemostatic agent thoroughly at herself and walked directly towards the fluttering vines.
Yin Nanzhao had no choice but to follow her closely and be on high alert to defend the Frankenstein who fed the tiger with her body.
When the fluttering vines ran into Luo Xun, it was like a person stepping on stinky dog shit, avoided like the plague, swishing shrank back as if she was very disgusting, completely no longer interested in Luo Xun.
"Interesting!"
Luo Xun stared at the vine with abundant interest. Her eyes were full of amazement as if she had found some treasure.
After a while, the valley had completely returned to tranquility. Apart from the faint smell of blood in the air, it was as if nothing had happened.
The vines that had been fed slowly stretched out, spread out on the ground and on the steep, and turn into stupid plants again, completely seemed harmless.
Under the setting sun, the originally maroon needles became blood red, sparkling and translucent like gems.
Luo Xun just came back to her senses and said to Yin Nanzhao with lingering fear: "They actually eat people!"
Yin Nanzhao was speechless. Who was the person who staring blankly walked straight towards the vines just now?
Luo Xun said excitedly: "This plant is very worth studying."
"How did you know they're afraid of hemostatic agent?"
"I guess! All living things in nature engender and subdue one another. They move when they encounter blood and like to suck human blood, then there's a good chance that they hate hemostatic agents."
Merely just a guess and she dared to test it with her life? Yin Nanzhao said helplessly, "It's getting dark, let's find a place to rest first."
"Oh… okay."
In the dusky twilight, in front were blood-sucking vines, in the back were chasing soldiers. Yin Nanzhao didn't dare to be careless. He took Luo Xun's hand and continued to lead her move forwards.
Luo Xun was in a trance. She still thought about the man-eating vines and didn't notice their tightly held hands, only followed Yin Nanzhao forward naturally.
Yin Nanzhao knew perfectly well that he shouldn't be distracted when he was in a dangerous situation, but... just let her be! He could protect her anyway.

Yin Nanzhao chose a place surrounded by blood-sucking vines as a temporary shelter for both of them.
Although these plants were terrifying, but their weaknesses had been discovered just right, they could make use of them to obstruct the enemy.
The blood-sucking vines were unhappy with their invasion, eager to give a try to eat them. Yin Nanzhao still wanted to use their strength so he didn't use the scythe. Instead he sprayed a hemostatic agent on the ground.
The blood-sucking vines retreated in disgust and left them a circle of safe area. Both parties reached a common understanding and lived in peace.
Yin Nanzhao said, "Let's have a rest here. After daybreak then we find a way out."
Luo Xun found that one of his hands had been twisted unnaturally and it didn't look quite right.
"What happened to your hand?"
"Accidentally bitten by a vine once."
"You are the one who told me to be careful of poison and not to touch them, but got bitten yourself?"
Luo Xun couldn't figure it out. With precautions in place, and with Yin Nanzhao's strength, it was impossible for these plants to even touch his body. Suddenly, she came to a response, "It's me who burdened you?"
Yin Nanzhao definitely didn't expect that she would be distracted in the midst of a crisis. Even though she obviously had A-level strength, but she didn't know how to avoid it at all, completely lost her ability to defend herself.
Yin Nanzhao said lightly: "The vines' sap secretion is not poisonous, just has a strong paralyzing effect. It's nothing to me."
"Give me your hand."
"It's really okay."
Luo Xun stretched out her hand and kept staring at him. Yin Nanzhao opened his palm reluctantly.
Luo Xun saw that his palm was filled with numerous blood holes looking very terrifying. She put her hand on his wrist, measuring his pulse while she asked worriedly, "How can you be sure that it is just a strong paralysis effect and no poison?"
"Although I'm not a doctor, but I had been through many near-death experiences, relying on those experiences to tell. So far, there is no abnormality in the body, only the fingers sensitivity that has been slightly affected, and it has already recovered."
Luo Xun found that he was in good conscious, normal blood color, normal heartbeat, normal breathing, and no symptoms of poisoning, so she was relieved.
She took off the marching bag on her back, took out the disinfectant and hemostatic band, and said in half complaint, "Although it has now been proved that this blood-sucking vine has no lethal toxin, but you didn't know it right away. Why did you risk yourself?"
Yin Nanzhao remained silent.
Luo Xun looked at the blood hole in his palm, and the sentence 'You are Yin Nanzhao, not Qian Xu' already reached her lips, but she swallowed it back.
"It will hurt a bit." Luo Xun poured disinfectant into Yin Nanzhao's palm, and cleaned the remaining blood-sucking vine secretions until it's clean.
After spraying the medicine to speed up the wound healing, she bandaged him with a hemostatic band.
Yin Nanzhao looked at the well bandaged hands and said with approval, "You did a good job studying wilderness first aid course at medical school."
Luo Xun put away the first aid kit and took out four concentrated soft-pack nutrient from the marching bag, "Thanks to your crow's mouth, I also inexplicably prepared this."
Yin Nanzhao laughed and took a pack to tear it open.
"Don't move!" Luo Xun snatched it from his hand and helped him tear open the seal before handed it back to him, "From now on, this hand can't exert force until the wound heals."
Yin Nanzhao did not answer.
Luo Xun looked at him suspiciously and collided with his pitch-black eyes. Her heart unexpectedly felt inexplicably flustered.
She said madly, "What's up? Haven't you seen my gentle and kind side? I'm not like you, I always be nice to people, and I'm the most popular doctor among the patients!"
Yin Nanzhao took the nutrient with a smile, and politely thanked her, "Thank you, Dr. Luo."
Luo Xun felt annoyed, but she didn't know what she's annoying about. She helped him treat his wound, and he thanked her politely. It was a rare for Yin Nanzhao to act like a normal person, so she should be pleased!
Luo Xun sullenly opened a nutrient pack and drank in silence.
