22. Never leave

Perhaps, it has no concept of those terrible creatures, but just now, for the first time, it intuitively understood what "death" is.

Zhou Yu didn't know if it understood. But the gut tells me that it's actually very smart.

Zhou Yu's body was already wet, so he deliberately walked in the sparse sunlight.

He lifted the little thing and smiled, "Look at your bear-like appearance." โ€

"Huh?" The little thing tilted its head.

Zhou Yudu wondered if this angle was carefully designed, and it made people feel that it was stupid and stupid.

"Some people think that when we are born, we are destined for what we are. But you can't accept that. Because once you think like that, you'll never be able to surpass yourself. For example, when you meet an antiscaly dragon, even if you know that the other party is stronger and more dangerous than you, don't be afraid. As long as you are not afraid, it will not feel that you are weak. Do you understand? โ€

"Hmm......" The little thing looked at Zhou Yu very seriously.

Zhou Yu's appearance was reflected in those amber eyes, and Zhou Yu laughed, thinking to himself, can this little thing still understand what humans say?

Just facing the sun, Zhou Yu saw that there was a faint silver luster between its black fluff.

Zhou Yu suddenly thought of the behemoth creature that stood in front of him in the river.

An incredible thought flashed through my mind.

And then it was quickly vetoed by himself.

"You have to really be a big man like that...... It is completely inconsistent with the law of conservation of mass. โ€

Zhou Yu lifted the little thing and shook it vigorously, it squinted its eyes with a happy expression, thinking that Zhou Yu was playing with it.

Putting it down, Zhou Yu continued to walk forward.

Most of the day has passed, and Zhou Yu is really hungry, but he can still persevere. The little thing was still lying on his arm, looking curiously at the surrounding Qiqi.

A thick old tree, completely covered with vines, with some pale golden fruits growing on the vines.

The air was filled with the fragrance of that fruit.

Zhou Yu swallowed his saliva, and the fragrance seemed to tease him. This reminded him of the taste of the failed apple pie that Meixi used to make for the whole team.

But Zhou Yu did not step forward.

These vines were so weird, they were draining all its life out of it as if they were going to strangle the tree to death.

And the fruit on the vine is too beautiful.

The moment Zhou Yu opened his eyes, he saw many small creatures struggling under the vines, they were strangled by the vines little by little until they lost their breath, and the barbs in those vines pierced into their bodies and sucked their nutrients.

Zhou Yu closed his eyes and exhaled, fortunately he withstood it......

Somehow, Zhou Yu felt that the hunger pangs were coming exponentially.

He has a kind of **, to rush up and stuff those golden fruits into his belly.

Very hungry.

I'm so hungry......

Zhou Yu took a step closer to the vine, but it was just that step, and a string in the depths of Zhou Yu's mind tensed and suddenly stopped.

Can't go any further.

There's definitely something wrong with its fruit! It must be the smell it gives off that reduces the willpower of the creatures, and then it is seduced and finally becomes food for those vines.

Zhou Yugang took a step back, and the aroma instantly became more intense. His body was out of his brain again, his heart was beating wildly, and he was like a marionette, walking forward step by step. Even if Zhou Yu knew that he couldn't step forward anymore, he still couldn't stop himself.

He was getting closer and closer to the vines, and the other party was already reaching towards him.

It was just a matter of time before the vines swept him away!

Suddenly, the pain in Zhou Yu's fingers spread, as if countless sparks burst out in his veins, breaking the fragrance from the perception of Zhou Yu's brain, and his heartbeat gradually calmed down.

Zhou Yu suddenly came to his senses, took a step back, lowered his head and saw that the vines had reached the tips of his toes, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.

Once caught in it, it will end up like those creatures who are caught in it and are sucked up alive.

Zhou Yu quickly retreated, and the vine saw that it failed to tempt Zhou Yu, so it shrank back.

Zhou Yu raised his hand, only to find that the little thing was biting his finger.

If it weren't for it, I would have really died this time.

The little thing sucked hard dissatisfiedly, his cheeks bulged, and he looked at Zhou Yu with angry eyes, as if to say: "Look, look, what will you do without me!" With such a superficial trap, you will be fooled, it's too annoying! โ€

Yes, I would have died without you.

Zhou Yu didn't deliberately stop it from sucking his finger, but Zhou Yu was sure that it must have bit his finger just now, otherwise how could he come to his senses?

Quickly leaving the range of the fragrance, Zhou Yu thumped the back of his head. How could he be so lightly seduced by that fragrance? If you retreat decisively, nothing will happen...... It seems that I am really hungry and tired, so my willpower will decrease.

The little thing saw that Zhou Yu seemed to be thinking, so he let go of his mouth and climbed down Zhou Yu's arm to his shoulder, and rubbed Zhou Yu's face with the soft fluff on the top of his head.

Zhou Yu rubbed it amusedly, and when he withdrew his hand, he found that his fingertips were still intact.

"Did you say you sucked my blood?" Zhou Yu patted its back.

"Huh?" It tilted its head again.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said helplessly: "Forget it." Suck if you want. Without you, I would have died long ago. โ€

Thinking about this, Zhou Yu decided not to investigate the way the little thing hunted and what kind of animal creature it was.

At that moment, the little thing suddenly stared at him and let out a cry.

At the same time, Zhou Yu felt that something was quietly approaching, and before he could turn around, something wrapped around his leg and dragged him away.

Zhou Yu fell to the ground, he reacted, the vine that emitted a special fragrance just now had been quietly following him, and when he relaxed his guard, he made a move!

The vines dragged Zhou Yu very quickly, and Zhou Yu's body was ground so painfully that it was almost like skin and flesh.

The little thing quickly chased after him and jumped on Zhou Yu's body, wanting to increase his weight, but it was useless. So it jumped on the vine again, and bit the vine so hard that it wanted to bite it off.

Zhou Yu was not intimidated by this scene, although all his equipment was gone, the Swiss Army knife he pinned to his calf was still there. He lifted his other calf, which was not caught in the vine, drew his saber, and poked it at the vine.

And this vine seemed to be angry, dragging Zhou Yu even harder.

The little thing was still biting the vine hard, its left wing rubbing against the ground, already cracking.

"Hurry up! Fool! Zhou Yu stabbed the vine with his dagger vigorously, waving his hand to drive it away, but the little thing just stubbornly refused to leave.

In the blink of an eye, the vines dragged him to the tree.

What Zhou Yu didn't expect was that when the vines wrapped around the ancient tree opened in a circle, the center of the ancient tree turned out to be empty, like an open mouth, and the vines actually grew out of the ancient tree! Before he was about to drag Zhou Yu in, Zhou Yu โ–กโ–ก the dagger into the ground.

"Drink!" The power of the vines was too great, and the green tendons on Zhou Yu's arms exploded, but they were still dragged in little by little.

Seeing that the little thing was biting the vines, it bit Zhou Yu's shoulder in turn and pulled it outward.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was struggling too much, the vine directly wrapped it around and tightened Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu was strangled by it until he couldn't breathe, and the bones in his whole body were about to crack, but he held the dagger tightly and refused to let go.

He knew in his heart that once the only weapon was loosened, he would not even have anything to rely on.

Zhou Yu was very persistent, and he could feel that the little thing that had been biting him was also strangled. This made Zhou Yu feel guilty and moved.

If he will die, it is his bad luck.

But it's a small thing...... Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and twisted his wrist, but it had no effect at all.

I'm sorry, little thing...... I'm running out of energy......

Zhou Yu's mind was about to fall into a state of chaos.

Fragments of life really passed through his mind like a marquee. He saw Zhao Cheng, Chen Chong, and his former brothers.

As if going back in time, he remembered that when he was a child, he and Zhou Qing were walking on the way out of school, and it was getting late, and the street lamp stretched the shadows of the two of them very long.

Zhou Yugang had a fight with the person who bullied Zhou Qing, and his eyes were swollen.

"When I go back, remember to tell my mother that I fell and broke my eye." Zhou Yu said.

"I won't say such a stupid excuse."

"And what do you say?"

"I'll be honest. Someone wanted to bully me, and my brother stood in front of me and was beaten and swollen. โ€

completely avoided the initiative of Zhou Yu to fight, focusing on Zhou Yu being the one who was beaten. When the parents heard this, they would only think that Zhou Yu was a good brother who protected his younger brother, and he was also the one who was beaten, which only made his parents more distressed.

Oh, yes...... and Zhou Qing......

He can't die, doesn't want to die, at least not here.

If he was alone, he might have given up just like that...... He also has to protect Zhou Qing! He still wants to see Zhou Qing! You can't just die!

The desire to survive made Zhou Yu stab the dagger into the edge of the tree hole the moment he was dragged in.

In a daze, he felt that the vines that were wrapping around him were loosened, he finally regained his freedom, took a deep breath, he just wanted to find where the little thing was, as soon as he looked up, he saw a woman holding the ground with one hand, Zhou Yu had never seen such a beautiful woman, and his smile was heartwarming.
