Chapter 9: Carnivorous Vines
In the dense jungle, the ancient trees are towering, and the treetops and vines are intertwined, covering the sky tightly, like a huge net, and only a few faint bits of light swaying between the branches and leaves, giving this place a brief light. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
A huge spider was crawling slowly, and the fallen leaves on the ground were slightly dented, but in an instant, its body and feet were quickly entangled by vines, and as the spider struggled, the vines tightened more and more until they could not move the slightest.
At this moment, a voice came from far and near, piercing the silence.
"Sister, slow down."
"Sister, let's rest."
"Sister...... Did you hear me? ”
With an angry roar, a slender figure was moving quickly, looking at the dress of a girl, and behind her there was a faint figure of another person.
When the girl saw the spider through the gap between the branches and leaves, her eyes widened slightly, and she could barely stop at arm's length from the spider.
It was Feng Yunlin, who was separated from Bai Yutang's soldiers, and it was Feng Yunjing who was chasing after him. The three of them set off on the second day after the palace banquet, which also means that Feng Yunjing is impossible to attend the ceremony held for these new students, Feng Yunjing has no psychological pressure on this, he is instigated by his sister to experience the hardships during the scientific examination, he has never thought about being an official or the like, whether the absence will cause bad consequences is not in his scope of consideration, anyway, if he has an accident, his sister will definitely not be able to escape, and will find a way to solve it on his own, and occasionally he will also experience the benefits of being a younger brother.
The three of them walked out of the city gate with a smile and a smile, and they met the first group of assassins who killed them, and they were easily solved by the sisters and brothers, and then there would be assassins from time to time during the trip, and the annoyed Feng Yunlin proposed to go separately, Bai Yutang took the official road, and the speed of walking on the road alone could be accelerated, she and her brother took the path, and there was a danger or something and a place to hide. As for the people who sent the assassins, it is easy to guess that eight or nine are not far from ten, and they are not far from the Dingjun Palace, except that they are not doing what he thinks. For this kind of villainous behavior, Feng Yunlin also made up her mind to wait for her to go back, and she would definitely let the people of Dingjun Wangfu take care of themselves.
After sleeping in the open for more than three months, Feng Yunlin estimated that at most half a month would be able to reach Linshan City, where she could sleep peacefully and eat a delicious meal. I don't want her little wish to stay for only an hour, and then it was ruthlessly broken by her younger brother.
Feng Yunjing pouted and protested against the way of rushing for the tenth time in the past month, "Sister, why do we have to travel so hard? Why can't we call someone from Windy City to pick us up? Why do we spend so much time traveling? Why can't we just play and go? ......" kept his mouth and his eyes were spinning, and he saw a little snow-white fox standing on the slope of the hill, and his competitive spirit overcame everything, and he spontaneously deviated from the path and ran towards the little fox.
Feng Yunlin shouted a few times, Feng Yunjing continued to run as if she hadn't heard it, seeing her brother's figure getting farther and farther away from her, she was ruthless and left her brother alone, and she didn't worry about her brother chasing after her alone, so she had no choice but to follow her brother.
The little fox was running in the forefront, and suddenly turned left into a wood. Feng Yunlin didn't pay much attention to it at first, it was very normal for there to be woods in this kind of place, and it wasn't until she chased and ran for a while that she felt a little weird. The trees are getting denser and denser, higher and higher, the light gradually dims, and when they lose the figure of the little fox, they have completely penetrated, and there are trees that cover the sky and the sun on the front and back, left and right, and there is no need to think about it.
Feng Yunjing realized that his actions had caused them to lose their bearings, and he shrugged his head and didn't dare to say a word. Feng Yunlin didn't blame, looked around, chose a random direction, and continued to rush forward. You can't blame her for not being serious, it's really the same from any direction, instead of wasting time thinking about which direction to go, it's better to leave here earlier, leave, and find someone to ask you to know where it is.
"Sister, you finally stopped." The voice sounded again, Feng Yunjing with a hint of grievance, "I'm so hungry and thirsty, sister, if you have anything to eat, I ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Yunlin quickly retreated, not forgetting to grab his brother's arm, retreating until he couldn't see the spider and then leaped up to a tree branch next to him.
Feng Yunjing was a little confused by a series of behaviors, and called in a low voice: "Sister? ”
Feng Yunlin raised her index finger to her lips, and pointed to the place where she was standing just now, following her point, Feng Yunjing saw at a glance a huge black unidentified object tightly wrapped in vines. At this time, the spider's legs and head had disappeared, and most of his huge body had disappeared, although he didn't see the whole picture of the spider, the scene in front of him was enough to make him gasp.
Feng Yunjing's mouth opened wide, his eyes widened, and his fingers pointed unconsciously at that place. The black mass was shrinking at a visible speed until it was gone, and there were only a few thick vines left on the ground, everything was so natural, it was no different from what they had come all the way before, if they hadn't happened to come and the timing was just right, who would have imagined such a terrifying side of this happening here.
After a long time, Feng Yunjing turned his head to look at Feng Yunlin in shock, "Sister, just ...... Haven't I woken up yet? As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and turned back to look at the place, but how normal he looked, he couldn't help but wonder from the bottom of his heart, was he really sleepy?
Feng Yunlin let go of her brother's hand, leaned against the trunk of the tree, and sat down slowly, her eyes always fixed on that place, with a deep fear in her heart. If it weren't for the vague uneasiness that made her stop her steps, she was afraid that she would have ended up with the same fate as that spider, and it would have been thanks to this spider, otherwise it would have been their sister and brother who had no bones left.
"Sister, do we still want to go over?" Feng Yunjing asked with palpitations.
Feng Yunlin was a little irritable, they had been in this jungle for half a month, if they hadn't made a detour in place, it would mean that this jungle was several times bigger than she imagined. Even if you want to go back the way you came, who can guarantee that you will take the right route, and you are not sure if this strange vine still exists elsewhere, so it is better to stay here for a while, and first familiarize yourself with the situation of the vines before trying to find a way to get there.
"Didn't you just say you're hungry? Then take a break and drink some saliva and eat something. Feng Yunlin untied the burden on her body and threw it to her younger brother, while she glanced around.
Feng Yunjing opened the burden and asked the doubts in his heart, "Sister, what happened just now?" What's that black thing? How can vines still eat? Am I hallucinating to pull? ”
"The black thing is a big spider. The vines ...... it all I guess it's eaten. How the vines can eat, I don't know. You are also not hallucinating, everything that happens is real. Although she felt incredible, Feng Yunlin still answered them one by one. Except for things that her brother shouldn't know, she never hides it from him, and she always answers questions.
Just as the younger brother still doesn't know that they are going to Linshan City instead of Windy City, judging from the news that Situ Rui got at night, Linshan City is not so much about internal and external troubles, but rather about internal worries than external troubles, presumably Big Brother Bai should have arrived in Linshan City, with the news that Big Brother Bai brought, Dad will be prepared.
Northwest, Linshan City.
From time to time, the wind blows up a roll of dust and sand.
In the middle of the city wall stood a man about thirty years old, his eyebrows slightly frowned, and his silver soft armor tightly wrapped around his upright body, looking into the distance in a daze. He was followed by an adjutant general, and at this moment the adjutant general stepped forward and said softly: "General, there will be talks tomorrow, please rest early."
"It's been ten years...... "A sigh-like voice came out of the general's mouth, "Ziming, you said that Lin'er and Yun Jing... Will you blame me, they were so young back then......" The hand on the wall battlement trembled slightly. If this meeting goes well, he will soon be able to return to the imperial capital after a long absence.
Ziming's eyes showed a hint of fascination, and with the general's words, his eyes turned red, he vowed to follow the general he had admired all his life, and the general who was invincible and loved by the generals would also feel uneasy, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, who would believe it.
His eyes couldn't help but darken, the general should be enjoying a superior life in the imperial capital or the Windy City, there is no need to come to the mountain city to work hard, one stay is still ten years, how many times during the period is full of dangers, and his life hangs by a thread. Back then, the straightforward and heroic noble son became an uninhibited general, and every time I thought about it, I felt a sadness welling up, and all this change was since the death of the general's parents.
After dealing with the aftermath of his parents, the general resolutely decided to go to Linshan City, no matter how the young lady and the son cried, the general did not change his mind. Even after many years, I still clearly remember that when the general left, the five-year-old lady pulled the three-year-old son and stumbled all the way to follow the marching procession, until the team was far behind and turned into two black spots, and finally there was no shadow to be seen.
He didn't understand why the general was hard-hearted, and even he wanted to turn around and go back immediately, he wanted to speak several times, and finally couldn't help but step forward to persuade the general, and caught a glimpse of the general's red eyes, and the corners of his eyes were bruised, only to wake up to the fact that the general was not ruthless but forbearing, until now, I still don't understand what the general endured back then. There is one point, but he understands that the general is trying his best to get rid of the relationship with the Feng family, which can be seen from the fact that everyone called General Feng when he just came to Yunshui City, and later when the general intentionally or unintentionally gradually omitted the word Feng and directly called the general.
Can...... What is it for......
