You cannot pick Lithops with your hands; you have to use scissors to cut them off from the root.
Because there are dense thorns attached to their rhizomes.
The spines are hook-shaped and contain venom.
It can cause nerve paralysis and hallucinations.
In severe cases, it may even lead to paralysis and loss of consciousness.
Some people with poor antibodies may suffer from shock and death.
Even people like Wang Gensheng should be treated with caution.
If you are not careful, you will suffer some pain.
These thorns are so small that they are difficult to detect with the human eye.
The scissors have been prepared long ago.
After picking, it must be put into a special water bottle for soaking.
Because these rhizomes have high water requirements.
If it is deprived of moisture for a long time, it will quickly wither and decay.
The water quality requirements are also extremely high. Pure water cannot be preserved and must be mineral-rich mountain spring water.
Fortunately, everything was well prepared.
After storing the Broken Stone Flower City, he dragged Bahu back to where Luo Ping was staying.
Luo Ping looked surprised when he saw his master leaving alone and coming back with one more person.
"Master, who is this and why are you tied up?"
"The killers from the Luo family are here to kill you."
Wang Gensheng downplayed it.
Luo Ping was like a bolt from the blue.
A killer just came last night, and a helper came so quickly today.
It was only then that Luo Ping realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Master, what should I do with him?"
"How else to deal with it? Let's wait for his powerful person to come forward and discuss it."
"It's definitely unrealistic to try to eliminate all the killers. I don't have the time and energy, and they won't give up."
"Now let's see if we can talk to the people in the killer organization, find out who is behind the hiring of the killer, and ask him to cancel the mission."
"Master, we are in the mountains now. Are Grandpa and the others in danger?"
Luo Ping thought that Hu Qingshan only had a few blood relatives from the Luo family, and most of them had little fighting ability.
If the killer targets the Luo family, he will definitely not only cause trouble for the two of them.
Wang Gensheng waved his hand, signaling him not to panic.
"Don't worry. Before entering the mountain, I set up a defensive formation near my residence and told Mr. Hu not to let them out if nothing happened."
"As long as the person who comes is not a strong person in the cultivation world, no one can break it."
With Yang Buwei's sixth-grade weapon refining level, if he wants to break the formation, the enemy's strength must be at least in the No-distance realm.
How could the Wujujing come here to kill a few ordinary people for mundane things?
Therefore, the threat of the killer organization is not very big at present.
All you have to do now is wait patiently.
Waiting for Luo He to report the news back, attracting the killer organization's great attention.
"That's fine, Master is thoughtful."
Luo Ping wiped away his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.
With Master here, everything will naturally be resolved clearly.
"Now there are two more herbs that need to be picked. Take off your shoes later and tear off a layer of skin from the soles of your feet."
Wang Gensheng estimated the time and gave instructions to Luo Ping.
"Ah? What's the use of tearing off the skin of your feet?"
"There is a small animal in this mountain that especially likes to eat sebaceous things. Human foot skin is a rare delicacy for them."
Luo Ping suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, the third medicinal ingredient is this kind of animal, right?"
Wang Gensheng smiled and shook his head.
"The shit they poop is the medicine we need for this trip."
Luo Ping: "..."
"Let's go, hurry up, these things may fall asleep after a while, and it will be very difficult to get them again."
Luo Ping nodded repeatedly, not daring to delay at all.
The two continued to search hard in the mountain forest.
It took more than two hours, and when I was exhausted and sweating profusely, I finally discovered a dense number of small holes in a tree.
Wang Gensheng stopped, stretched out his fingers, and tapped the tree trunk carefully.
The hollow knocking sound made Wang Gensheng conclude that there must be the animal he was looking for inside.
"Tear the skin of your feet into strips and stuff them through the small holes."
"good."
Luo Ping hurriedly took out the foot skin that he had prepared long ago.
After carefully rolling it into a long and thin strip that can be stuffed into the small hole, I stuffed it all inside.
I saw that the normally normal tree trunk suddenly made a noise.
Then a big bag bulged up.
"Master, will this tree trunk explode?"
Luo Ping was still frightened when he saw it, and subconsciously stepped back.
"No, this is where they live. How could they blow up their own home?"
Wang Gensheng said with conviction.
"Bring the porcelain bottle and dip the glass rod in honey."
Luo Ping followed suit one by one.
Although he didn't understand the meaning of this, he chose to believe in his master unconditionally.
With items ready.
Things finally began to crawl out of the small hole in the tree trunk.
They were a group of dark, extremely small creatures.
They have two antennae on their heads, eight legs and a pair of wings. They are very similar to ants, but their heads occupy two-thirds of their bodies.
Such a creature is very uncomfortable to see.
Because they are not aesthetically pleasing to humans at all.
People who are not determined and have trypophobia will definitely get goosebumps when they see this scene.
Even Luo Ping felt a chill on his body and felt a little repelled subconsciously.
"Then stick them with the glass rod. Just cover it with the glass rod. Be careful not to let their tentacles touch you."
Luo Ping looked back at Wang Gensheng: "Is this also poisonous?"
"It's not poisonous, but their eggs are hidden in the tentacles."
"These tentacles are very sharp. Once they pierce your skin, they can inject hundreds of thousands of eggs into your body within a few milliseconds, thereby sucking out all the nutrients in your body."
Wang Gensheng's words made Luo Ping frown.
These creatures are really weird.
Never heard of it before.
Under Wang Gensheng's instructions, Luo Ping was very cautious in every move, fearing that he would be treated as a petri dish.
When these creatures are touched by honey, they become unable to move.
Soon the glass rod was covered with glue.
"Master, don't you want their feces? What should we do next?"
"These weird bugs can suck sugar into their bodies. After a while, all the honey will be absorbed, and they will naturally release some feces."
"You spread a bag on the ground, and within ten minutes there will be small purple particles on the glass rod, which are the feces of strange insects."
Luo Ping followed the instructions out of curiosity.
Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, the bags on the ground made a slight falling sound.
Soon a thin layer of purple particles accumulated.
"These strange bugs generally do not defecate. They can absorb 100% of food and convert it into energy."
"It's just that honey is somewhat special and can temporarily change their body mechanisms."
Luo Ping collected the purple feces and put it in a jar, carefully preserving it.
"The last remaining medicinal ingredient is left."
