Chapter 241
Man cannot be thrown away as bait, but human blood is abundant.
Lan drunk unceremoniously tore off Sabir's sleeve, crumpled it with his own, tied it with a rope, and threw the two sleeves soaked in human blood under the flap with a single breath, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
The fish to be caught was very stupid, and he couldn't remember the lesson of a few minutes ago, and after only half a cigarette was thrown down by the bloody clothes, he couldn't resist the temptation of the rich smell of the bloody clothes, and drilled up from the ground.
This time, Lan Zui and Rong Thirteen were lying on the flap the whole time, and it was clear that these fluorescent highlights did not stretch out from somewhere, but broke through the ground. In other words, it meant that from the moment they crossed the tower, they had been walking on the massive root system of the trees, and the dragons were out of sight□□ and the lightning-fast branches could reach out of the cracks in the flaps and sweep them away.
It felt very bad to be the prey, and the two of them sat silently and watched the fluorescent flash below, swept away the bloody clothes, and quickly took the rope coiled at their feet out.
The principle that Lan Zui and Rong Thirteen believed in when they fought was to cause less trouble, but less trouble does not mean that they were afraid of trouble. If they fall prey, they would rather be hunters, take the initiative and kill the threat first.
According to Lan Zui's previous experience, these branches seem to give priority to supplying nutrients to the mother tree, as long as you follow the vine to find the location of the mother tree, most of them can find Bai Suhe and Meng Zheng who have been swept away. Lan Zui already knew that this thing was afraid of fire, and it happened that most of the bags that Rong Jiu brought down were the solid fuel she had purchased. It's called providence, so she doesn't mind another barbecue if necessary.
The coiled rope was nearing its end, and after the last lap quickly slid under the flap, there was a slight 'clang' sound that broke the air, and the rope tied to the windowsill of a nearby house was stretched straight, and it trembled faintly to compete with the strength of the other end.
Lan Zui and Rong Thirteen didn't care who won or lost, what they cared about was the direction of this stretched straight rope. After a series of hardships, now a team of old, weak, sick and disabled, the two of them jumped directly down to the flap to track down to risk their lives is the next policy, and now the general direction of these branches and roots must be determined, and the safety factor will be much higher when touching from the ground. So at the moment when the rope was bandaged, both of them jumped up and ran wildly in the direction of the rope extension in a very light and agile posture.
After running for more than 300 meters, Lan Zui found that the paving under his feet had changed, the slate was still the same kind of slate, but it was a real slate, and the pedal was as stable as a rock, and there was no flap mechanism.
The underground city seemed to be built in an arc, so after running for a while, if the two of them wanted to continue to maintain the same direction, they could only wear the strip of houses inserted into the right-hand side. From the beginning of the replacement of the flap on the spot, the beautiful and commercial shops near the city gate disappeared, and all of them were replaced by two-story stone buildings shaped like small doors and small windows of the blockhouse, and there were many traces of engagement left on the ground. Broken spears with broken handles, scimitars full of gaps, Zhuge crossbows with exhausted bows and arrows, scimitars full of exotic styles, and all kinds of ancient weapons are scattered all over the place. Judging from the style of weapons, it is obvious that they can be divided into two categories, this is a real flesh-and-blood ancient battlefield, except that there is still one thing that is indispensable on the battlefield - corpses.
From the discovery of the branches underground, Lan Drunk no longer felt strange about this unusual sight. This demon tree can survive in this desert until now, and the corpses of countless Beidi and Beiyan people who died in battle at that time may have contributed greatly.
Now Lan Zui is curious about how the people of Beiyan are so not afraid of death, and will plant this kind of demon tree in densely populated areas. Cities and residential areas in ancient cities were generally separated, and the area they now travel through is clearly semi-militarized. Trees are not as intelligent as animals, they can be domesticated, and the people of Beiyan plant this tree next to their homes, so they are not afraid that they will be swept away as fertilizer when they sleep soundly in the middle of the night?
Or was there any way for the Beiyan people at that time to control this kind of tree? She has heard of training cats, dogs, and leopards, but she has never heard of training trees, these Beiyan people are really omnipotent!
Lan Zui was thinking wildly in his head, and continued to run on his feet. Passing over the neatly shaped houses, he saw that the flashlight in Rong Shisan's hand, which was slightly ahead, stopped moving forward.
Lan Zui also said that Rong Shisan saw the target, and just mobilized the nerves of his whole body and tiptoed over, but after walking more than ten steps, he felt that something was wrong - the flashlight in Rong Shisan's hand was straight forward, without any intention of evasion, and at the end of the flashlight light, there was a steep mountain wall with knives and axes.
They ran to the bottom!
This time, they didn't save power again, and each of them held a wolf's eye, trying to see clearly. Along the way, Lan Zui swore that she hadn't seen anything similar to a plant, all of them were stones, stone roads, stone houses, and the cracks between the stone slabs were so clean that there was not even a single grass, and Lan Zui also sighed that the greening of this residential area was so bad, except for a tree in the center, he didn't even get some flowers and grass in front of the house, which must belong to the community series that can't be sold today. Unexpectedly, at the end, the big tree she imagined still didn't exist.
If you really want to describe this feeling, it's like winning the exam in hand, thinking that a full score is inevitable, but after sending the paper, I found that I was in a groove, and I actually failed! This incredible sense of loss is hard to accept, including the composure of Rong Thirteen, and he also begins to touch his hand on the mountain wall, imagining that the mountain wall is a mechanism, or even an illusion.
But the mountain wall is the mountain wall, rough and hard, neither like the appearance of a cave with a secret door, nor an illusion.
"Did we go in the wrong direction when we ran?"
Rong Shisan shook his head and was not sure, after all, after entering the housing group, he had to avoid the house, and it was inevitable that there would be a place to turn, and it was not necessarily that the direction was really divergent.
After the two agreed, they searched along the stone wall in one left and one right, the sense of direction of the two of them in the dark was specially practiced, and it was impossible to deviate too much, even if they ran off the tree, it should be nearby.
But the two of them walked nearly six or seven hundred meters on the left and right, with a mountain wall on one side and a house on the other, where was the shadow of half a big tree?
"What the hell......" The two reunited in one place, both puzzled. Lan Zui had seen the golden tree and knew that this tree species grew extremely tall, could it be that this one in this city was an anomaly, with a well-developed root system, but it was a small point in itself, drowning in the house group?
If that's the case, it's going to be a difficult thing to do, I don't know what it looks like, I don't know how tall it is, and if it's a potted plant kept in the house, then where do you start?
The remnants of the team behind were only late at this point. Rong Jiu put down the stretcher in his hand, and when he saw Rong Shisan and Lan Zui's expressions, he knew that things were not going well, and couldn't help frowning: "Could it be that branch that deceived us?" ”
"Have you ever seen a tree with a long head?" Lan drunk took a sip of Rong Jiu, but his heart wandered.
On the one hand, Lan Zui was very worried about Bai Suhe's safety, the longer they delayed on it, the more dangerous Bai Suhe and them became.
But at the same time, Lan Zui is also selfish.
Seeing obvious traces of hand-to-hand combat nearby, where will hand-to-hand combat occur? The Yan people in the north have arranged many organs, and unless they reach a place where there is no way to retreat, they will only fight hand-to-hand as a last resort.
This trace shows that this place, if not the end of their trip, is already very close, in addition to the possible demon tree, there may also be an exit to the ground, and the corpse of Xia Ruoqing.
If Xia Ruoqing's body was really in this city, it would most likely be in this area.
Maybe if you find Xia Ruoqing's body, you can find Jun Yihuang's soul, if Jun Yihuang can wake up on his own after finding his soul, then it will be much less difficult for Jun Yihuang to find the mother tree.
After all, whether it is a tree branch or darkness, it has no effect on a ghost.
Lan Zui sighed, she only now realized that being a ghost sometimes has a lot of benefits.
But this result is only the best scenario expected, in case it takes a useless time but Xia Ruoqing's body is not found, in case even if Xia Ruoqing's body is found and Jun Yihuang's soul is recovered, but Bai Suhe is not there, Jun Yihuang still can't recover, what about Bai Suhe and Meng Zheng who are in danger?
Or do you just give up looking and jump under the flap to find the mother tree with yourself as bait? Although this method is straightforward and simple, but just now I saw that the branches under the flap were like lightning, running like thunder, Lan Zui thought to herself that if she was in the dark, she and Rong Shisan teamed up to face the branches, and I was afraid that they would only be able to be restrained.
One road is to hit the big luck, the other road is a risky move, and it is difficult to make a choice if you are not sure of any of them.
Lan Zui unconsciously bit her lower lip, trying to find the safest solution, but there were only two paths in front of her, left or right, and she had to make a choice.
What the hell is this! Lan Zui was annoyed by the thoughts, and couldn't help but raise his head and glared at Xiri Ahong, if they knew that they would be able to walk a little more to the ground, if they didn't take a short rest at the city gate at that time, if Xiri Ahong didn't want to touch the wall - why did they bother so much now!
Siri Ahong had obviously been scolded by Sabir, and now he was glared at by Lan drunk, and instead of showing his usual stubbornness, he lowered his head and shrunk his shoulders like a child, and took a step back in fear.
Rong Thirteen also sighed when he saw this, and patted Lan Zui's shoulder. They have been walking together for so long, and they have long known that Xiri Ahong is not very good by nature, and his mental age is two years younger than Kanji, and he is simply an oversized child. When he touched the wall, he probably only thought that the wall was beautifully painted, and he didn't have any other thoughts. For a big kid who can't possibly have a holistic view, it's no point in continuing to criticize him.
"Let's look around first and see if we can find a way out or Sister Jun...... stuff. And-" Rong 13 glanced back at the steep stone wall that stretched out vertically and horizontally, and frowned, "Although I have checked that there is no secret door, I don't know why, I still think this wall is strange." ”
