Wu Yun had a ringing in his ears, and before he could shake his head, Toby hit Wu Yun a second time, which made Wu Yun completely faint and lie on the steering wheel.

Toby laughed, grim and irrational.

He got out of the car, and the silver spider crawled into his collar again. He dragged Wu Yun out, threw him in the back seat, then sat in the driver's seat, and drove on, bumpy all the way, through the dense forest.

They passed the delivery cart, and as if he hadn't seen it, Toby ran over his companion's silkworm-entangled corpse to a towering ancient tree entwined with countless vines.

These vines are hundreds and thousands, curling and supporting each other, and the huge ancient trees are like pillars, towering into the sky, under the entanglement of the vines, forming a huge tree fort, and even outlining the shape of a window lattice, the vines are intertwined into tumbling lines, like a rococo ancient building, exuding elegance and mystery.

Toby dragged Wu Yun out of the car and carried Zhou Yu down.

The light fell from between the crevices of the vines in the tree fort like a trickle.

Silvery-white transparent butterflies flutter between these beams of light, like strings of crystal lamps.

Toby dragged Wu Yun to a hole in front of the Tree Castle, pushed him in, and then threw Zhou Yu down.

The silver spider crawled out of Toby's collar and leaped towards a falling vine, the thread between it and Toby broke, and Toby suddenly lost consciousness, closed his eyes and fell down, just in time for the hole.

They slid down the cavern and plunged into a wide, dark hollow in the inner interior beneath the great ancient tree.

At the same time, Zhou Qing opened a pine nut and sent it to Mo Ye's mouth: "Mo Ye, do you want to eat pine nuts?" ”

Mo Ye curled up in a ball, shrunk on the chair next to Zhou Qing, and occasionally stretched out his legs to pluck the chair to make it turn, looking like he was amusing himself.

Its ears drooped and its eyes closed, not knowing what it was thinking.

Zhou Qing tilted his head: "Pine nuts...... When I was a child, Zhou Yu liked to eat this the most, and he had a lot of it in his pocket! Would you like to give it a try? ”

Speaking of Zhou Yu, Mo Ye suddenly opened his eyes, and a touch of gold flashed in his amber eyes, Zhou Qing was stunned, thinking that he had seen it wrong. He was about to rub his eyes when Mo Ye suddenly straightened his back and jumped out of his chair.

"Ink Night! Where are you going! ”

Mo Ye came to the door and slammed it hard, the door didn't open, it turned to look at Zhou Qing, and its eyes were very strong.

"You want to get out? Why? Is it too boring to be with me? ”

Just as a researcher came in, the moment the door of the node opened, Mo Ye rushed out.

Zhou Qing hurriedly caught up.

"Ink Night! Where are you going! Come back soon! ”

But Mo Ye rushed out of the room without hesitation, and ran quickly through the passage. At this time, a field team member happened to pass through the passage gate, and the moment the gate was about to close, Mo Ye rushed out from under his feet, but Zhou Qing didn't have time to follow.

"Oh my God! That's what's going on! "The field crew member is still unclear.

"Professor Zhou! Haven't you hurried to notify the control department? Zhou Qing's assistant rushed over to ask Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing stood in place. He had a feeling that Mo Ye would have such a reaction because something happened to Zhou Yu that was at stake, and if so, he would let Mo Ye go instead of keeping it here.

He pretended that he didn't react to anything, and stood still until a dozen seconds later, when Mo Ye had completely penetrated the inner core of the base and rushed to the outer extension of the base.

Song Zhi finally got the news and issued an order to the system control center of the base to keep Mo Ye here.

No one knows exactly how Moye did it, it seems to always know which passage will open in this labyrinthine base, and when someone will pass by!

At the most thrilling moment, it opened one closed gate after another, and at this time, a field convoy returning from the outside was about to enter the base, and at the moment when the gate was opened, Song Zhi ordered: "Close all nodes!" No one is allowed to enter or leave! Stop it! You've got to stop it for me! ”

The cold sweat of the personnel of the system control center fell. The speed of their thinking and the speed at which they put their fingers into code were far less rapid than those of Mo Ye, and it was like a black lightning bolt in the midst of surveillance, breaking through the limits of vision and thinking.

Like the illusion of a meteor piercing the night sky, Mo Ye's figure ran out of the gap that was about to close, and it jumped onto the Humvee cover in front of it, only to hear a loud bang, the front cover of the Humvee deflated, and even the front wheels burst tires.

The system controller was completely stunned; "It's just too fast! We can't predict where it's going, but it knows exactly which gates are open! ”

Song Zhi's hands were pressed in front of the table, and Mo Ye undoubtedly had some kind of perception beyond human beings.

Through the monitoring replay of the guò system, Song Zhi saw Mo Ye's face, its eyes were firmly looking ahead, as if it would break through any obstacle in front of it.

Cold sweat dripped down Song Zhi's forehead.

It can be seen that Mo Ye is fully capable of leaving the base by himself, and the reason why it didn't leave was just because of Zhou Yu.

At this moment, Zhou Yu's head was buzzing, and he finally found a trace of clarity, and he sat up slowly.

There was darkness all around, and in the darkness, there were countless silver spots of light flickering, and he covered his eyes and finally saw that those spots of light were actually butterflies with silver wings.

When his eyes were completely accustomed to this darkness, Zhou Yu could also see the surrounding qiqi clearly. This huge space is made up of a variety of vines. Above his head, he could still see the vacant window-like position, which was in a regular shape, and it should be almost night by now, and the afterglow of dusk fell through the cracks, casting neat shadows on the ground like window lattices.

Wu Yun and Toby fell beside him. Zhou Yu immediately stretched out his hand and pressed it on Wu Yun's neck, feeling the beating of his carotid artery, Zhou Yu finally exhaled, Wu Yun was still alive. He tried Toby again, and Toby was still alive, but his hands and feet remained twisted. Zhou Yu knew that there must be some biocontrol of Toby, and raided him and Wu Yun!

Zhou Yu carefully observed this space, it seemed to have been specially calculated, it could not be the natural nature of the Nibelungen creatures.

The walls of the tree fort in front of him were actually part of a huge ancient tree. The silver butterfly flapped its wings and slowly flew to Zhou Yu's side, as if to illuminate him and let him see the wall clearly. There are all kinds of carvings on the walls, and Zhou Yu's fingers attach them, and these carvings are very deep, which are intentional. When the light gradually gathered, Zhou Yu could finally see them clearly, it was a portrait of a woman. She is lifelike, and her eyebrows, eyes, and laughter are heartwarming. Whoever portrayed this woman, Zhou Yu believed that he had a deep love for her.

Zhou Yu took out his recorder and aimed it at the picture on it and filmed it, if he could return to the base alive, he would hand over everything to Song Zhi. Whether it is designed or depicted, this place reflects human civilization.

But using ancient trees as pillars, weaving vines into walls with rococo patterns, and manipulating silver butterflies as lights in this tree castle are not something that humans can do, at least an A-class creature.

"Welcome to my world."

A light voice sounded, and Zhou Yu looked around but didn't see anyone.

It dawned on him that the sound was coming from his brain, just like Elpis, a creature of Class A or above who was communicating directly with his brain.

"Who are you?" Zhou Yu immediately returned to Wu Yun and Toby's side.

"It doesn't matter who I am, but I see a lot of interesting things in your brain, you are a human being, but Elpis has chosen you."

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Yu tensed his muscles and covered his hand on the gun around his waist. The gun is still there!

"My original purpose was very simple, to treat you as my food, my nutrition. But it's a pity that you have injected some kind of drug in your body, if I eat you, it will be very bad for my health, I can only wait until the drug in your body is metabolized. ”

"I see."

Zhou Yu knew that no matter what he planned or wanted to do now, he would be perceived by this A-class creature, and more importantly, this was the Tree Castle under its control, and it was impossible for him to leave with Wu Yun, and it was impossible for him to leave even if he wanted to.

"Well, I'm glad you have that kind of mental awareness. You are like a cat and a mouse to me, and the longer you can spend with me, the longer I will keep you. But as soon as I feel that you are bored, I will open my mouth and eat you in one bite. ”

The voice was teasing and bantering, and I don't know if it was just playing tricks on them or scaring them, at least it was a little childish.

"So where is your mouth!" Zhou Yu asked coldly.

The voice laughed again, a little rampantly.

"My head is on the ceiling, my feet are under you, my fingers are on your throat, and my mouth is ...... Where is it? You are already in the belly of my mouth. ”

Zhou Yumi's eyes narrowed: "Why do I think you are bluffing!" ”

"Oh yes? You look back. ”

As soon as Zhou Yu turned around, he found that the vines were hanging down from mid-air, rolling Wu Yun and Toby up. Zhou Yu immediately ran away, pulled out his pistol from his waist, and fired several shots at the vines.

Toby was completely swept away, Wu Yun hung in mid-air, and the vines that were hit by Zhou Yu loosened Wu Yun. Wu Yun fell down and was caught by Zhou Yu.

When he looked up, he could see that a large area of vines above his head had already withered in color, indicating that the bullet hit by Zhou Yu had played a role.

So Zhou Yu unceremoniously shot at the part that had not yet withered, and soon, a large patch of turquoise vines above his head turned yellow-brown.

At this time, Wu Yun, who had been unconscious, finally woke up, and he was completely stunned when he looked at the scene in front of him, here and before were two completely different worlds.

Zhou Yu said coldly: "Pull out your spear!" ”

Wu Yun didn't say a word, turned over, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at the same place as Zhou Yu, his nerves tensed.

The tawny vines gradually peeled off from mid-air, like dead vipers. The green vines rolled out a criss-cross pattern, clinging to each other and tightening, and even the previous window lattices were obscured. If it weren't for those silver butterflies, there wouldn't be even half a minute of light.

Although Zhou Yu's shot just now was effective, because there were so many vines here, even if they ran out of bullets, they would not be able to disintegrate this tree fort.

"You have caused me so much trouble, and if I do nothing, it seems that I will not be able to do what it is appropriate for the landlord. I have to give you some warning. ”

The voice in Zhou Yu's mind sounded again, and the vines above his head stretched out, and Tobi, who had just been swept into it, suddenly fell from a high place. Zhou Yu rushed up and was about to catch him, but was dragged back by Wu Yun, the group of silver butterflies flew over, the cold wind swept over their heads, the wings seemed to flip over, and the cold light appeared, like countless sharp blades, cutting through Toby's body.

Seeing only scarlet blood splashing everywhere, Zhou Yu's eyes widened but he couldn't do anything, and when the group of silver butterflies moved away, Toby's body was only left with white bones.

From beginning to end, it was only three seconds, and Toby didn't even have time to scream.

As if nothing had happened, they spread out leisurely and flew around the interior of the tree fort, like starlight in the dark, full of yearning.

The more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are, and this time Zhou Yu clearly realized it.

Wu Yun and Zhou Yu's backs were already drenched in sweat, and in the face of such a creature, the guns in their hands could not do anything at all.

"Alright, a new game begins, who the hell will you and your friends be the next artwork to bloom here?"

Zhou Yu's pupils trembled, and he suddenly said loudly: "Wu Yun's lighter!" ”

Wu Yun didn't ask why, and directly threw the lighter to Zhou Yu.

At this time, the butterflies were gathering and flying over, and they raised their wings again, ready for the next one.

"Wu Yun! Stay close to me now! ”

As soon as Zhou Yu's words were finished, Wu Yun rushed to Zhou Yu's side: "Do I need to hold you tight!" ”

Zhou Yu ignored Wu Yun, just took off his coat, picked up the branches on the ground casually, and the moment he lit the lighter, the silver butterflies that quickly approached them formed a circle, lingering on the edge of the firelight and did not dare to step forward.

"Zhou Yu, you are really powerful, you actually know that these guys are afraid of fire!"

"Get your vodka out right now!"

Wu Yun didn't ask Zhou Yu how he knew about his private vodka, and immediately threw a small iron bottle from his waist to Zhou Yu.

Seeing that the fire of the lighter was about to be extinguished, the group of butterflies suddenly tightened and was about to rush towards them, Wu Yun could even feel his face being scraped by their wings, and the pain was hot.

The moment Zhou Yu lit the lighter again, the group of silver butterflies suddenly dispersed, and with the light of the lighter, it flickered far and near.

Wu Yun helped Zhou Yu pour vodka on his clothes and tie it to the branches, and suddenly, the flames jumped up, illuminating the inside of the tree fort, and the butterflies that couldn't help but approach them before were burned by the flames and made a crackling sound, exuding a peculiar smell, neither the stench of carrion nor the smell of burnt, but a faint aroma.

Zhou Yu knew that he couldn't relax, soon these flames would be burned out, and the speed of death would be very fast.

"Wu Yun, do you still have a tranquilizer bomb on you?"

Wu Yun shook his head: "It seems to have fallen." It's quite lucky to be able to keep the pistol! ”

Zhou Yu caught a glimpse of Toby's remains still with some equipment on them, he came to his side with Wu Yun with a torch, Zhou Yu lowered his body to rummage, and Wu Yun held a gun to guard his surroundings.

Zhou Yu finally found a tranquilizer bomb, and he said to Wu Yun, "How many seconds can you hold your breath?" ”

"Hey! Can I hold my breath in seconds? At least in minutes, right? Three to five minutes is no problem! ”

"I thought you could hold your breath for 10 minutes, counting on you to carry me out of here."

"Then I'm counting on you to carry me and rush out!"

"It's okay, you can faint with confidence!"

After saying that, Zhou Yu actually found an oxygen mask from Toby's body!

"Toby, that's fine! Throw away both of our configurations, and keep my own. Or I'll faint with confidence! ”

Wu Yun knew quite well what Zhou Yu was thinking: by the time the anesthetic bomb took effect, these vines should have dispersed, otherwise all the creatures in the confined space would faint, and Zhou Yu and Wu Yun had a few minutes to destroy them all. If you don't want to be wiped out, let the anesthetic air out. Then there will be a gap.

At this time, Zhou Yu's mind once again remembered the voice of the A-class creature.

"Zhou Yu, you are so naïve, do you think I will let you go? I'm going to suffocate you here! Until you yourself can no longer bear it and faint, and when that time comes, I will put you through a punishment that is a hundred times more severe than now. ”

Zhou Yu ignored the other party's threat, and deep down in his heart he knew that if he wanted to live, he had to resist.

When Zhou Yu was ready and Wu Yun was also holding his breath, Zhou Yu threw the anesthetic bomb into the air violently, and the anesthetic gas dispersed, and the frequency of those silver butterflies flapping their wings slowed down, and then fell all over the ground.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yu lit the torches on the ground and burned all these butterflies.

Time passed little by little, and those vines guarded this space tightly, leaving no gap for Zhou Yu and Wu Yun to escape.

Soon, the corpses of those butterflies were also burned out, leaving only the torch in Zhou Yu's hand to become the only light in this space.

At that moment, Wu Yun stared at Zhou Yu with wide eyes, as if he wanted to remind him of something, but in order to avoid being inhaled into anesthetic gas, Wu Yun couldn't speak.

Zhou Yu turned sideways vigilantly, and saw a silver spider falling from mid-air, suddenly jumping into his face.

Zhou Yu was shocked, neatly took out the dagger from his waist, and stabbed it in his face, but the spider jumped into his erection neck and quickly got into his collar.

Zhou Yu threw the torch to Wu Yun without saying a word, and he was about to take off the oxygen mask on his face to Wu Yun, but he was a step too late, only to feel that his vision fell into darkness in an instant, his limbs were moving but not controlled by his brain, he couldn't hear any sound and couldn't see anything.

Zhou Yu knew that the spider must have been hiding in the crevices of the vines and had not been exposed to the anesthetic gas. The burning of the silver butterfly not only consumed the oxygen in this confined space, but also consumed the anesthetic gas, and when the concentration of the anesthetic gas decreased, the silver spider appeared.

The name of this spider is called marionette. The name is quite figurative, and it can use its own silk thread to invade the muscles and nerves of the host, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the other person's body. However, unlike the Windtalker, the Windtalker needs to enter the host's body completely, but the marionette's silk thread cannot be infected by the host's blood or any potions.

Zhou Yu shouted loudly, regardless of whether Wu Yun could hear it or not.

"Wu Yun! Leave me alone, snatch my mask off, and either kill me or knock me out! Remember, one of the two of us had to survive! ”

Wu Yun raised his gun and aimed it at Zhou Yu, at this time Zhou Yu was like crazy, he pulled out the Swiss army knife equipped on his thigh, and constantly attacked Wu Yun, his movements were agile and decisive, as if he would not stop without cutting Wu Yun with a thousand knives.

Wu Yun broke out in a cold sweat, although he could hear Zhou Yu's shouts clearly, how could he shoot at Zhou Yu! Once Zhou Yu is shot, he will definitely die.

Wu Yun said to himself in his heart: Damn it! Die together!

Wu Yun slammed the torch into the ground, and the flames shone on the staggered vines, like a monster coming out of hell with its teeth and claws.

Wu Yun also took out the Swiss Army knife from his waist and competed with Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu's posture was vigorous, and although Wu Yun was sophisticated, he could only dodge Zhou Yu's attack in a thrilling way, and the Swiss army knives collided in the air, sparking a little spark.
