Chapter 106 Parasitic Plants (2)

"There are two ways I can get rid of this parasitic plant from Tana.

One is simply pulling out, as Saddle was about to do.

The other one... burns it out.

"Burn it out?!

Promerte is stunned. Of course. Burning plants all over your body turns your body on fire. If you do that, even the healthy will surely die.

"If the roots of the parasitic plants are pulled out and left in the body, if they are dangerous, they may be burned out to remove the underlying roots.

Plants are very strong, and there are some species that grow again as long as some of the roots remain. For example, there was a species of dokudami in Japan that closely resembled the plants that now covered Turner's body. It has a unique odor, blooms white flowers, and is a plant that consists of cypress stems and leaves and spreads sideways.

If you can't leave any roots behind, the tip of the root remains in your body... and you don't know where it is anymore. If it gets into your body, it's extremely difficult to get rid of.

"If you burn it down, you'll die!

"I still have my hands. This is a healing wound medicine.

Nil and I were making some scratch medicine last night using plants that could be taken from Greenman's footprints.

Unlike horn rabbit corners, just remove moisture from the leaves and mix. It's easy to make, so I can get enough to apply to her whole body. Perhaps it will be enough. When I tried my wound, it healed in about 15 minutes, but I don't know how much of the burn will heal my whole body. I don't know if it will heal completely in the first place.

"No matter how healing the wound medicine is, it's the wound medicine!

"I know. That's why I'm lost.

It's full of things I don't know. I'm glad I took it... but it's still a heavy choice.

"I don't know how this parasitic plant reacts when I pull it out. Maybe you can only try one method.

I don't think this plant will do anything... even though I'm about to be burned.

"Oh no... burning Turner..."

Burn death is basically rarely caused by burns. I've heard that there are many causes of death from toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, and even if I get burned, my life is often saved.

If you don't die from a burn, apply this scratch medicine and wrap a white-moulded white cloth around your body... I don't know if it'll help, but... whatever road you take, it's a big bet.

The four of them have anxiety, fear, expectations and... various emotions on their faces. I have no choice but to accept it....

"Which do you think is better for your husband?

Nil asks me when I get lost.

"... I think it's better to burn it down.

I know that the more reliable method is to burn out the roots of each skin. I just can't decide. Nil knows how I feel, so I dared to ask.

"Now, let's get ready after we burn it down.

Nil just saved me.

Together we shoulder that responsibility. That's what I heard.

"All right... Donnate and the others, get at least two leaves of the size that will put Tannat to bed and wash them. Nil applied scratch medicine on it, and prepared to put another one on the underlay for sleeping. You should be able to paint the rough part at once. The rest of the details have to be applied by hand.

"Okay! I'll be ready in a minute!

Donatelle and Saddle moved quickly, but Promerte and Petro struggled to move. I suppose you hesitate to follow my decision. Are you sure this is it? Is there any better way? If Tana's face was still alive, I could have thought about it, but I don't think we have much time.

First, I'll make a mask of earth magic on Tana's face. Some areas must be protected from fire, such as open eyes, nose, and esophagus. so that the place may not burn. However, the area where the root is growing, such as cheeks, forehead (tingling) and scalp, cannot be covered. Carefully identify the boundary and protect it so that it becomes a T shape. Fortunately, she's not breathing. There is little risk of inhaling heat or toxic gases, and there should be no nitrogen in the mask.

Another thing is to apply cooking grease to Turner's body so that it burns in an instant. If your body does not burn as simultaneously as possible, it may become partially untreatable.

The fabric of the removable part, such as clothes and gloves, was torn, removed as much as possible, and melted fat was poured into the back part that was stuck to the wood and could not be easily painted. A little burn would be a small thing considering what we're going to do.

By the time it was over, Nil and the others were ready.

"I'll tell you a few things before I light the fire.

"... ahh. Please."

Donatee and Saddle seem already hungry. If there's any chance you'll be saved, I'll bet on it. She has such a silly face.

"First of all, as I mentioned earlier, I don't know what kind of reaction this plant will have when it is fired.

An unspecified plant... No, a monster, Greenman. There are several possible reactions when attacked.

For example, abandon the link with the tree and manipulate the host, Turner, to escape. However, I don't think it's very likely.

The Greenman we saw moved slowly. There may have been a white bone inside, but from what I've seen, I don't think it's a fast moving monster in the first place.

It is likely that Greenman's response will be a counterattack or host alteration.

"I know how to fight back, but... what about changing hosts?

"When I say I'm going to die, I'm going to go aboard a nearby creature. I think it's possible enough.

If anyone attacked what they were hosting, this jungle would be a more powerful monster on the predator side. It is convenient for the parasitic side as well. I guess so.

I don't think I will die with the death of my host after parasitism.

"What if I'm subject to a change in the host…"

"It's going to be the same situation as Turner.

Donnate and Saddle snorting their throats.

I'm sorry that mummification turned into mummification.

"What should I do...?

"It's easy to do. Never go to help after you've lit Turner. That's all.

As far as I can see, the roots are on the trees, but the parasite is Tana. Considering that the slashed Greenman was also the host animal, there is no direct parasite to the plant. It should also parasite nearby animals when changing hosts. If Greenman isn't dead yet and you get help, you're more likely to turn him into a host.

"Is that all you need...?

"Though it may be easy to think, if your friends are actually wrapped in flames and they move like they suffer, can you confidently say that they still don't move?

"That's....."

"If I were Donnate, I might jump out.

That's why it's not as easy as it sounds.

If you are not sure, please wait out of sight.

"... no. I'm fine. I promise I won't move without Caidoo's instructions.

"I promise.

"... okay. If you try to move, I'll hit you and stop you.

"That's a pretty radical way to stop it. But if I try to move, I don't mind if you half-kill me.

I mean it when I see Donatee's expression. That's how much you want to help Turner.

"Petro and Promerte... stay back. Never look.

It's going to be too stimulating for the two of you who are still lost, and if you actually see it, it might happen unexpectedly.

"... okay..."

Promerte and Petro move behind a tree a little further away.

"... now I'm ready. Nil. If we light it, we'll just be careful not to burn around.

"Yes."

It's not fashionable to burn everyone to death after all this.

"Here we go.

Use fire magic to create a small fire and fly it to Tana's feet.

Goww!!

Fire instantly gains momentum and becomes a flame, enveloping Turner's body.

First of all, the leaves and pigeons that had grown on Tana's body to avoid the flames were moving around. Because it has roots on its body, it can't move from the spot, so it gradually gets wrapped in flames and lowers its head downwards.

Turner herself is not moving as it is, just standing upright.

"Well, still...?

"Not yet.

Donnate next door asks.

You can still see the leaves and even the pigeons in your body. It still takes time to burn down the roots.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Turna, who was stuck to the tree, pulled the roots and went forward.

The way of movement is as crispy as a manipulation doll, and it doesn't look like a person's way of walking.

"Still there?!

"Not yet!

Saddle's impatient voice.

Turna started moving in front of her. I know how it feels to think it's better now. I know, but no matter how you look at it, it's not moving at Turner's will, it's moving.

Push one hand forward and come towards us.

If you don't know that you're being manipulated, it looks like someone on fire is reaching out for help.

Turner!

"No! Promerte!"

Promerte, who was behind him, jumped out to see what Turner was up to.

My words have not arrived. [M] Tannat is the only one whose eyes are wet with Promerte's tears.

Doshh!!

From Tana's fingertips, a lump of paint jumps out of the fire and flies towards Promerte.

Promerte!

Don't!

A little earlier than Donnate's impatient voice arrived, Petro, who was lying beside him, jumped off the side of Promerte and pushed him down.

The chunks painted on the fire do not touch the two of them, and when they hit the tree behind them, they sink into the trunk, and then paralyze and shoot things like roots into the trunk.

I thought it was a species at first, but it was different. It's a rounded and hardened root. Certainly can penetrate into the opponent's body much sooner than planting seeds.

If that root had something to take away the host's consciousness, they could manipulate it immediately. If it had hit, Pro-Merte would have been in danger.

"Back off, Petro! I'll build you a wall, so you can pull back!

When Nil and I magically built a wall with earth to protect both of them, some clumps of roots flew into the surface.

"Nil, please don't burn!

"I suppress the Greenman!

"Ok!

Nil uses water magic to extinguish the fire so it doesn't burn anywhere else, and I cover the surroundings with earth magic to stop Greenman from changing the host attached to Turner.

Shit! Shit!

Greenman flies a mass of roots not only from his fingertips, but also from his whole body. Indeed, if we fly this far, we will hit something and be able to change the host. That's how we're increasing the number. We're increasing the forest to increase the number of animals that accompany it - that is, to become hosts.

When Greenman's flying mass is stopped, the flames that surrounded Turner's body burn the rest of her clothes, hair, nails, and skin, burning trace metals in her body, causing flame color reactions of various colors.

In an orange flame, blue, red, yellow and green. It's a hue that doesn't seem to be burning. It stinks... it stinks of nausea that can't be said.

He was a Greenman who had been exposed to a flame that was burning with sounds, but suddenly stopped flying a chunk of roots.

"Donnate! Saddle! It's time!"

I felt that it was time to burn down the roots, and I prepared a water magic for Turner to put out the fire.

Turner slightly lowered her raised arm and fell to the front.

"Now!!

Together with my signals, Donnate, Saddle, and my water magic are activated to instantly extinguish the fire that surrounds Tana's body.

"Turner!!

Immediately after the fire went out, four people rushed in to lift Turner's body.

However, it seems that the skin of the whole body is burning and burning, so it cannot be lifted smoothly and smoothly.

Nil!

"I brought it!!

Place the leaves that are sewn with the two prepared scratch pills next to the turner and roll them on.

I immediately removed the mask of dirt from Tana's face and put my hand on her mouth.

Breathing back!

"As soon as you get rid of the dirt on the front of your body, you can put on another leaf!

The four people who reacted to my words immediately showed me exactly what they said.

"Tana, come on! I'm gonna help! I'm gonna help!!

Promerte desperately calls out Tana's name while removing the dirt from the front of Tana.

Apply the scratch medicine from above, remove it immediately, and apply the scratch medicine by hand to areas where the scratch medicine is not applied, such as the sides and neck.

In the feeling of overripening tomatoes, the surface is carbonized and rough.

The colour below the skin is bright red and the black burning part is also visible.

"What's next?!

"Put this white cloth on without gaps!

Apply the white cloth stained with the prepared white mold to the entire body of the turner without gaps. Naturally, the same treatment is applied to the back side.

"What should I do next?!

"Later... I can only hope for her vitality.

"... Turner..."

Four people look at Turner's face more complicated than the others.

"I've only used this much fire... it could be dangerous here. I'll put it on the board and carry it on the tree.

"... okay.

Lift the plate and move the turner over the tree.

Turner repeated her shallow breath in front of everyone who looked worried.

Hair and eyebrows are gone, and the white cloth applied to the whole body is bleeding.

I hope she hasn't eaten anything for more than a week and still has the strength to get over this...

I didn't think it was time to leave Lufana and feel her abilities were needed...

"Are you okay...?

Promerte keeps calling about Turner. Nil listened worriedly as she looked at him.

"... I don't know.

It is about fifteen minutes since I applied the scratch medicine. But her condition seems to be unchanged.

Petro gradually gave water to Tana, who lost a lot of moisture as a result of the burns on her body, and Donnate and Saddle were wooing on the trees all the time.

Fifteen minutes have passed. Still, Turner's situation hasn't changed.

That was more than enough.

Still, Turner's situation doesn't seem to have changed.

"Turna... Turna..."

Promerte touches Tana's arm to pray and keeps calling her name.

Thirty minutes have passed since the treatment.

"Turner... please... open your eyes..."

A voice of prayer close to Promerte's cry.

I may have made a mistake.

There might have been another way.

Such thoughts even come and go in my head.

"............ uu......"

"Turner?!!

A slight sound of Tana's graceful little groan.

Petro and Promerte react with sensitivity and peek into Turner's face.

"...... Mi...... zu......"

"You want water?! Drink slowly!

When Petro pours water into Tana's mouth, the water overflowing from the edge of her mouth falls through her cheeks, and Tana's throat is pouring up and down.

"... Min... no..."

Tana returns a really slight smile to the four faces that peek into her face.

"I knew... you saved me..."

"Turna... Turna..."

According to Turna, Promerte couldn't stand it, and the tears of the big grains drifted out of his eyes.

With that, Petro cried loudly, and Donnate and Saddle sipped their noses and wiped their eyes.

"Min... no..."

Turner also cried from the edge of her eyes as she lay on her back.

From her words, I think she probably had little consciousness, even when she was being manipulated.

They were all separated, and there was only one person in this dark, deep jungle who couldn't make a call for help and was tied to that tree. I wonder what it's like to be in a jungle without anyone for over a week....

I wonder if my friends have given up looking for me, or if I'm going to die here all by myself... I wonder if that has happened over and over again.

When I think about it, I think of myself as a bastard after three days.

"Master.

Nil responds to my emotional subtlety and grabs my sleeve.

"I....."

"I know. Don't worry about it.

"... yes.

The five Eagle Crowe rejoiced and shared tears and smiles.

Pickup!

[Event Complete… We have rescued Turner.

Reward... Shimizu Sword

Rewards are transferred directly to the inventory.

"Yes, that's right. Turner. It was Caidoo and Nil here who helped you this time.

Once settled, Donatelle will introduce me and Nil.

Turner, who tilted her face slightly, met her eyes.

"Yes... thank you..."

"Never mind. Now focus on healing your body. Don't move too much.

"... yes..."

"Can I check the condition of the scratches a little?

"Of course..."

The burns on Turner's body that I checked were different from the small wounds, so even if I used the highly effective (like this) wound medicine this time, it didn't fully heal in about 30 minutes.

The skin seems to be starting to regenerate in about 30 minutes for areas with low burns, but other areas still seem to take time.
