Chapter 357: The Man-Eating Tree
The two dragged Zhao Dapeng to the sun without trees, and after basking in the sun for a while, they felt that the smell was light, and the three of them fell to the ground, panting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In fact, for that smell, Zeng Yifan and Li Shaoyun also felt very uncomfortable and unloaded.
"It seems that we are not fully prepared this time, and some necessary equipment is not ready. For example, when we encountered that smell just now, we would have a mask or gas mask. Li Shaoyun said with regret.
"What can a mask be used for...... Zhao Dapeng, who eased up, rolled his eyes and said. He felt that what he needed most at this time was something like the Soul Resurrection Pill.
"Masks filter out most of the toxic gases, which is much better. Fill the middle layer with some charcoal powder, the effect is better. Li Shaoyun explained.
"It's not easy." Zeng Yifan said, brought his backpack, took out a large handful of bandages from it, then lit a fire, crushed the charcoal, put it in the middle of the bandages, covered his nose, and said proudly, "Isn't this a simple gas mask?" ”
In the absence of other methods, Li Shaoyun also felt that Zeng Yifan was feasible in this way, so the three of them used this method to cover their noses and march to the mountain pass in front again.
Gradually, the greasy smell began to appear again, and the three of them were wearing this homemade gas mask, especially Zhao Dapeng, and the symptoms of discomfort were much lighter than last time.
As they walked, they kept an eye on their surroundings, and of course, they had to find out the source of the smell, and they had to be very careful not to be harmed by the smelly thing. If you can, breathe as little as possible
As the smell grew stronger, they finally discovered the source of the unpleasant smell – the man-eating tree.
Few people have seen this kind of tree with their own eyes, and it is possible that the people who have seen it have died. This kind of plant, for the animals that pass by, will emit an extremely strange taste, so that the other party in a dizzy state, induce the animal to take the initiative to approach its ambush, and then wait for the opportunity to wrap the animal with leaves, wrapped in the inside to digest and absorb.
The man-eating tree is not a tree, but a perennial herbaceous plant, after the fall of leaves in autumn and winter, the whole plant turns yellow and dry until it dies, and a new plant continues to develop from the roots in the spring of the following year. The plant is about four meters tall and has a reddish body with a distinctive distribution of branches, similar to that of a human skeleton. As soon as the prey arrives, the animal is bound with branches and slowly digested.
The three of them saw that there were many undigested animal bones under the tree, so they concluded that on the one hand, the plant gave off this greasy smell, and on the other hand, the indescribable smell should come from the animal bones under the tree.
Just as Zeng Yifan and the others were carefully observing, a flash light lit up, and when they looked back, it turned out that Zhao Dapeng was taking pictures with his mobile phone.
"What are you doing?"
"Take pictures." Zhao Dapeng felt very strange about Zeng Yifan's questioning. If it weren't for the fact that there were no live animals to show live, he would have wanted to record it.
As he was talking, Zhao Dapeng was suddenly wrapped around the waist by the roots of the cannibal tree, and he was thrown high, and even his apple 6S was thrown away. This time, let alone taking pictures, I didn't even make a phone call.
Zeng Yifan was taken aback, and was about to make a move on these branches, but his left hand was stung by something fiercely, and his left hand suddenly lost consciousness.
Zeng Yifan looked back and saw that a large caterpillar with a height of one person was on the left-hand side.
"! How come the animals here are all so big? "Caterpillar uh, even if it's enlarged in equal proportions, it shouldn't be as tall as one person. This is much more terrifying than the giant mosquito.
was about to call Li Shaoyun for help, only to find that Li Shaoyun, who was three steps away from him, was surrounded by two big caterpillars at the moment, and was wielding a sapper shovel to defend himself.
Zeng Yifan was forced to be anxious now: Zhao Dapeng was hung in the air by the cannibal tree, and he could be put into the stinky leaf at any time to turn into pus, and at the same time, his left hand gradually lost consciousness, obviously, this big caterpillar is full of stingers, once it pierces the human body, the consequences are unimaginable.
Before he had time to think about it, Zeng Yifan picked up the sapper shovel with his right hand and smashed it down on the head of the big caterpillar. With a single smash, the big caterpillar immediately went from standing its head upright to drooping down, like a hard noodle thrown into boiling water. Completely softened.
It seems that the mutated megafauna here is essentially the same as the original animal. Like this caterpillar, without joints, limp and erect, it was just an attempt to attack. Once it is resisted by an external force, it does not have enough strength to support it to continue to stand upright.
Seeing the big caterpillar lying down, Zeng Yifan immediately took out a tactical dagger from his waist, rolled up his sleeves, and found five or six toothpick-thick burrs on his left arm that were pierced by the big caterpillar at a glance. These burrs penetrate the skin more than half an inch through a thick coat.
Zeng Yifan gritted his teeth, raised the sharp knife and stabbed it at the burr.
He lowered the knife deeply, digging an inch-long hole next to the burr, and the burr was picked out smoothly, and the blood flowed from his arm. If this can't get rid of the toxins, under these conditions, his arm will probably be useless.
But then, Zeng Yifan had a strange feeling on his arm, which was as hot as fire. After exerting my strength, I feel that I can command my left arm again, and I can stretch it freely, so as long as my arm can move, I am not afraid.
Then, he quickly pulled the bandage out of his bag and bandaged it briefly.
This series of actions looked complicated, but Zeng Yifan only took more than a minute to complete.
During this period, Li Shaoyun painted a gourd in the same way, and also slammed the head of the big caterpillar with a sapper shovel, and sure enough, the two big caterpillars besieging him also fell down.
Breaking out of the encirclement of the big caterpillar, Li Shaoyun and Zeng Yifan immediately leaned back to back, holding sapper shovels to form a small defensive circle, vigilant of the movements around them.
After all, there were three caterpillars the size of a man, lying on the ground, ready to attack them both.
"Watch out for the burrs on them!" Although Zeng Yifan's left hand can move, he still has lingering feelings about the burr. At this moment, the three caterpillars were lying there, and they could see more clearly, and their bodies were full of highly poisonous burrs. I can't figure it out, but it can radiate like a dart.
"We've got to get out of here and get around the east!" Li Shaoyun also felt that these caterpillars were not easy to mess with.
"Good!"
As soon as the words fell, the two of them moved together to the east of the man-eating tree. And the three big caterpillars also slowly squirmed as the two of them moved.
