Chapter Seventy-Seven: Unidentified Creatures

"Xiao Zhu!"

The yellow-haired young man quickly recognized that it was his missing teammate Xiao Zhu, how did he run ahead of us and die in a waterhole?

I believe this is a question that is common to all of us at this moment.

The corpse was face down, and the yellow-haired young man was about to go into the water to drag him up, but was stopped by a thunderous shout: "Don't move! ”

"Leopard, look, Xiao Zhu doesn't seem to be right!" The thin black man who had prompted everyone to follow us pointed to Xiao Zhu's corpse and said to the yellow-haired young man.

The yellow-haired young man named Leopard had already jumped into the water, and he was closest to Xiao Zhu's body, and I walked to the edge of the waterhole at this time, and when I looked closely, I found that Xiao Zhu's body was shrinking and swelling slightly.

"Come on!"

I don't know who on the shore roared, but it was still a step too late, Xiao Zhu's body instantly swelled into a ball, and the skin stretched to an almost transparent level, followed by a 'bang' explosion, I quickly turned around and ran out with my back to the waterhole, Hua Zeng and they were the same, but the leopard standing in the water was not so lucky, only to hear him scream loudly and fall into the pool.

"Those things are coming, Captain!" The thin black man pulled the safety of the gun and roared eagerly.

Something was approaching, and I didn't have any weapons in my hand, and I didn't dare to move the two corpses in the pool, so I had to ask Hua Zeng for a dagger, which was still a small type that he didn't use.

"Dog King, where are they?"

Lei Ming also raised his gun and glanced around vigilantly, he obviously trusted the information provided by the man, although there was not even a ghost shadow around, but the man known as the Dog King was obviously not determined by his eyes.

"All-round."

I tried to release the dead air, and when I really fired for a while, they didn't care about me, Hua Zeng stood next to me, Lei Ming glanced at him, and then ignored us.

The five of them stood in a fan shape to ensure that there would be no loopholes and blind spots in the fire coverage, and I was not included in their list of combatants, so I stood with Hua Zeng.

"Fire!" Thunder gave the order.

The five tongues of fire swept towards the clearing around the waterhole, fortunately in the no-man's land of the primeval jungle, otherwise such a big movement would have to attract the army.

The bullet entered the air, but instead of penetrating the air and hitting the surrounding trees, it hit something, splattering a dark green liquid, accompanied by the roar and wail of the beast, and the thing that was hit took on its original form.

Their skin is like the bark of an old tree, they have a head but no eyes, their head can be retracted into their bodies, and their bodies are the same as thick stumps, and they move by the same thing as a dozen old tree roots.

The thing stood still, and then retracted its head, no different from a dead tree.

But under their bark-like skin, there was no trunk, and the bullet hit it, and immediately the juice splashed.

Modern weapons are super lethal to them, but their numbers are increasing instead of decreasing, and only after being hit by bullets, the original body will appear, they seem to have a kind of invisible function, no wonder they want to use infrared in broad daylight.

If they break through the defense line and run a few fish that slip through the net, things will be difficult to do.

The strong smell of gunpowder and the smell of plants and earth rose in the air like boiling water, and the continuous sound of shooting shocked my hearing even more, and finally, with a cry of exclamation, we realized that the dryad had rushed into the protective circle!

Faced with an astonishing number of tree monsters, Thunder Thunder's circle of fire had to gradually shrink, and after the monkey killed a tree monster that broke through into the encirclement, his body was also injured, and the injured arm could not be shot, which was equivalent to being wasted.

I followed Hua Zeng and retreated, and at this time, the dog king shouted again: "Spread out and run!" ”

Although I don't understand why he suggested this, his sense of smell is obviously beyond ordinary people, and Lei Ming They absolutely believe him, and I am only familiar with the road I came from around the waterhole, so I naturally want to run in that direction.

Hua Zeng asked me to run first, he covered behind, this is not the time to be polite and humble, I ran back according to the way I came.

Thick tree roots can be seen everywhere in the surrounding forest blocking the way, but after changing to a new body, this body is easier to use than Li Miaoxue, light and flexible, worse than a monkey, but not much worse than a fawn.

I jumped between the roots of the tree, Hua Zeng and I retreated some distance, suddenly beckoned me to stop, gasped and said, "Didn't catch up!" ”

I stood on the root of a half-man tall tree, looking out at the waterfall in the distance, from where sporadic gunshots came back.

Bullets are limited, but the number of dryads is too large to count, and Thunder should be aware of this, so he began to save bullets after scattering.

Hua Zeng wiped the beads of sweat from his face, the air in the subtropical jungle was hot and humid, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he was carrying a backpack with a heavy weight.

I stood on the root of a tree higher than his position, and listened to him wonder; "There are gunshots in different directions, but only on our side, weird, those things don't seem to be interested in the two of us!"

He pouted and shrugged his shoulders in bewilderment, actually, I had somewhat guessed that it might be the work of Death.

I've been releasing death gas since before the fire was fired, and since those monsters can be injured, it means that they are also creatures or animals, and their sensitivity to death gas allows us to escape.

I didn't dare to delay, so I said, "Go any further, they will be invisible, in case we don't find anyone sneaking in." ”

He also felt that it made sense, so he didn't stop for long, and continued to walk with me, but after walking more than ten meters, his movements began to become sluggish, and the sweat on his face was like rain, which was beyond the scope of 'heat'.

I asked, "What's the matter with you?" Got a fever? ”

His face was unusually flushed, his eyeballs were bloodshot, his breathing was becoming rapid, and he unloaded his backpack under a tree and held on to the trunk to catch his breath.

I was a little anxious and wanted to step forward to help him get things right, but he waved his hand to stop me, and after a while, I said, "Don't come here, I may have been poisoned." ”

Poisoning? Hearing these two words, there was a very surprised expression on his face, from the time we met, until this moment, I have been with him, he has not been exposed to anything special, he eats and drinks the same as me.

I asked incredulously, "Are you sure?" ”

He nodded, but he didn't make a sound, I could see that he was having trouble breathing, and he couldn't even stand on his feet, he sat down with his back against the trunk of the tree, and there was no water nearby, so I broke off the leaf of a wide plant and fanned him as a fan.

After a long time, he said weakly, "It's the blood of the tree monster, it's poisonous." ”

I think back to the time of the fierce battle, when he did get smashed by him at close range, and the dark green juice splashed on his exposed arm, which I didn't get because I was standing behind him.

Speaking of which, he and I are not considered 'comrades-in-arms', and we didn't establish a deep friendship the last time we cooperated, but since we met again, he has always surrounded me, and this friendship is very rare.

I comforted him and said, "Maybe it's just a temporary toxicity, it'll be fine after a while, you take a rest first, I'll watch you." ”

He squeezed out a smile and said to me, "I'm fine, I can't die, and I can't die either." ”

After pausing to catch his breath, he continued, "You say...... Is there really a way to bring people back to life? ”
