Chapter One Hundred and Eight: Man-Eating Plants

Ye Feng and his entourage walked straight to the east.

The forest became denser and denser, the trees became taller and thicker, and Ye Feng encountered more and more thousand-year-old trees. The oldest one, even five thousand years old, is a dragon's blood tree, and it is not known how it survived natural disasters for thousands of years.

Strange things, fewer and fewer animals, the woods are quieter and quieter, and it seems that there is really some demon hiding in this dense forest.

In fact, under Ye Feng's spiritual power perception, nothing could be hidden. But he never found any suspicious figures, and he couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart.

Compared with Ye Feng, who could see the surrounding situation clearly, Bai Zhanji and the others were very uncomfortable. In the terrifying jungle, I am always worried that some demons and monsters will pop out of the grass.

"That, Big Brother Gu. Why do you keep touching these big tree trunks? Puzzled by Ye Feng's actions of touching the thousand-year-old tree along the way, Bai Xiaofei couldn't help but ask.

"I'm talking to the trees." Ye Feng glanced at him sideways, with an expression of "you don't understand".

"・・・・・・" Originally, Bai Xiaofei felt that the atmosphere was too depressing, so he deliberately found a topic. Ye Feng said so weirdly, well, the atmosphere was even more depressing.

"Brother Lucky, the weather is really good today, right?" Bai Xiaofei, who had touched a gray nose, turned his head and smiled at his fat brother Gao Lucky.

"What a fart, spooky one. I will never go abroad again after I go back. Gao Lucky Urn said angrily.

Bai Xiaofei wanted to cry without tears, Nima, there was no one to talk to.

After walking seven or eight kilometers, the forest became empty, the shrubs became scarce, and some large-leaved plants similar to plantains appeared. A large willow-like tree appeared, with thousands of branches hanging down, and a huge canopy like a banyan tree. The bark is gray and black, and the branches are twisted, like the strange willows of a horror novel. The trees were separated by more than ten meters, and the ground was covered with thick moss, and a large, green fleshy vine spread through the trees, its leaves were large, almost the size of palmettos, heart-shaped leaves, and some of them were followed by a pale red bud the size of a basketball.

"Fatty, look, black poppies." The thin tomb robber Man Renfei pointed to a poppy patch on the ground.

When I came to Myanmar, I saw a lot of poppies, and it was the first time I saw black poppies. And these poppies grow unusually well, slim, half-human tall, fist-sized buds, looking a kind of mysterious charm.

"Well, it smells so good." Gao Lucky enjoyed taking a breath of air full of rich floral fragrance.

On the other side, Bai Zhanji walked over to a green vine climbing on a large tree, carefully examining the basketball-sized buds on the vine.

"You see, there's a human face on this tree." Bai Xiaofei looked around, and suddenly saw a fold similar to a human face on the trunk of the willow tree next to him, and said in surprise and excitement.

"Don't touch these plants, there's something weird about this place." Ye Feng said worriedly. Ever since he entered this area, he had a strange feeling, as if there was something strange in the space.

Moreover, why did Bai Zhanji suddenly become interested?

As soon as Ye Feng's words fell, Gao Luck had already touched the bud of a black poppy with his hand. Immediately, the bud shook as if it had been excited, and it unfolded with a bang, releasing a cloud of black smoke.

The change of a poppy caused a chain reaction, and the buds of the black poppy actually burst open one after another, blooming a strange black smoke.

To be precise, a large amount of black pollen spreads like smoke.

Gao Luck and Man Renfei, who were next to the black poppy, bore the brunt of the black smoke.

"Huh? Strange, uh-hehe, haha! ”

Gao Luck was stunned for a moment, and then his expression quickly became strange and abnormal, and he suddenly laughed madly. Man Renfei also became crazy like him, dancing with her hands, and did not respond to the shouts of Ye Feng and the others.

“help!”

Almost at the same time, Bai Zhanji's frightened voice for help came from the other side, and his whole body was tightly restrained by the green vines thick with his arm, and the basketball-sized buds next to him opened into four petals, and the petals were full of sharp teeth, like an open blood basin mouth approaching Bai Zhanji.

"I'm rubbing, isn't this a man-eating flower?" Ye Feng was taken aback, these vine plants with huge flower buds were exactly the same as the legendary man-eating flowers.

"Ancient, help!"

On the other side, Bai Xiaofei also heard a cry for help. Ye Feng turned his head to look, only to see that he was entangled in countless tough willow branches like silkworm chrysalis, and he was about to be wrapped into a mummy.

In an instant, the entire forest came to life, exuding a terrifying predatory atmosphere.

Ye Feng took a few steps back, away from the hallucinogenic pollen emitted by the black poppy, looking at the forest where the demons were dancing wildly, not only was he not afraid, but he was very excited.

"Hallucinogenic poppies, man-eating flowers, man-eating willows. Could these be the demons that the ancient Bagan people said? Hey, that's great, it's a special plant I need. Ye Feng thought excitedly.

All along, the plants controlled by Ye Feng were "dead things", and once he withdrew control, those plants were no longer aggressive and athletic. Now that he has discovered a special plant like the man-eating flower with the ability to act like an animal and the consciousness of autonomous aggression, once he understands the mechanism, doesn't it mean that similar plants with powerful aggression can be created from now on?

Ye Feng's heart moved, and his spiritual power stretched out, bringing the surrounding plants into control. With the output of plant energy, the man-eating flowers and man-eating willows in the forest became quiet, putting Bai Zhanji and Bai Xiaofei down.

After the two of them got out, they ran back to Ye Feng's side with pale faces, looking at the plants next to them vigilantly, and their hearts were palpitating.

"Mr. Gu, my two apprentices, I have to trouble you to rescue them." Bai Zhanji looked at the two tomb robbers dancing in the black smoke and said worriedly.

Ye Feng used vines to pull the two out of the range of psychedelic smoke, and the two of them were still smirking, immersed in illusion and unable to extricate themselves. Ren Bai Zhanji did not react to how he scolded, punched and kicked.

"Mr. Gu, this?" Bai Zhanji's pleading gaze looked at Ye Feng.

"Don't look at me, I won't detoxify. Now in this situation, I can only try to restart. Ye Feng shrugged and said.

"It's not a computer, how do you restart it?" Bai Zhanji and Bai Xiaofei were both puzzled.

Looking at Ye Feng's movements, the two of them suddenly realized.

I saw that Ye Feng simply knocked the two unconscious, and then pierced the two of them with wooden thorns. After half a ring, Gao Luck and Man Ren Concubine woke up slowly, and their consciousness was still a little confused, but they even finally returned to normal.

"Uh, what's that, what's wrong with me, I'm so dizzy・・・・・・ oops, why does my neck hurt so much?" The fat man Gao Lucky muttered.

Bai Xiaofei smiled secretly.

Taking advantage of the moment when Bai Zhanji and the four of them calmed down, Ye Feng's attention turned to the cannibal flower and the cannibal tree, and carefully checked their movement mechanism through his spiritual power.

After a few minutes, Ye Feng finally roughly understood that the predation of these man-eating plants was far away.

It turns out that the branches of these man-eating plants have many sensitive vacuole cells, just like mimosa, which are very sensitive to stimuli such as vibration and pressure, and rely on the rapid loss and absorption of water by the cell tissue to achieve the shrinkage effect. To put it simply, it is a miniature liquid pump device, which has the function of retracting and retracting like a joint, so that these branches have complex movement capabilities.

What's even more bizarre is that these plants seem to have a simple nervous system, distributed with a network of nerve-like fibers, which can precisely regulate and coordinate the movement of various pump joints - similar to creatures such as sea anemones and hydras, which can instinctively attack prey close to them.

"Alright, move on. Listen, don't touch the plants here, I'll leave you alone if something happens. Ye Feng said solemnly to Bai Zhanji and the others. The latter hurriedly nodded in agreement.

The treasure hunt team moves on.

The further east, the number of piranhas and man-eating trees grows and grows larger. In the end, almost half of the forest was filled with man-eating flowers and man-eating trees, like giant devils, entrenched in the valley to the east.

Many man-eating plants are covered in bones from the soil under their roots, including animal bones and some human bones. Ye Feng guessed that there might be the remains of the Bagan people hundreds of years ago.

The attacks of man-eating plants are instinctive, if it weren't for Ye Feng's constant use of plant energy to limit their reactions, the group didn't know how many attacks they would encounter along the way.

Five hours later, Ye Feng and the others finally walked to the foot of the cliff in the east.

A slope with thousands of steps appeared in front of Ye Feng and the others, and at the top was a platform covered with vines and moss, like an altar used by the ancients to worship heaven and earth.

Walk up to the platform at the top. Ye Feng and the others found that the platform was far larger than it looked from afar, the size of a basketball court. In the center stands a half-human-high stone pillar topped by a disc carved with mysterious patterns and inscriptions.

"This is it, the real mausoleum of King Jiang Xituo!" Bai Zhanji looked at the inscription on the round basin and said excitedly.

Ye Feng's spiritual power passed through the stone wall next to the platform, only to see that there was a long passage hidden behind the stone wall, leading to a huge labyrinth located inside the mountain. The carved gallery painting wall, the wall is full of Buddha statues, stupas and other reliefs and pictures full of Buddhist atmosphere, and the style of the previous Tuowang City is very similar, compared to the mausoleum of the king of Najiang Xituo.

The mausoleum is far bigger than Ye Feng imagined, it is actually four or five hundred meters deep into the mountain, and the width of the main building of the mausoleum is nearly one thousand meters! Nima, is it really not scientific, does a small king of Bagan have so much manpower and material resources to build a mausoleum of this scale?

After taking a closer look, Ye Feng suddenly realized that it was using the natural cave that originally existed in the mountain, saving a huge excavation work. The mausoleum was built on the basis of the original cave, and even local materials were used.

Because the location of the mausoleum was too deep, Ye Feng couldn't fully detect the situation inside, so it seemed that he could only enter it first.

"Xiaofei, where's the key?"

"Here."

Bai Zhanji took the crystal necklace, inserted the crystal pillar into the fine hole in the center of the basin, slowly swirled, and then heard a click, like the sound of a mechanism being pryed. Then he pulled the stone plate with both hands, and the stone plate slowly turned with his force, making a lattice of rusty gears turning.

Ye Feng's spiritual power looked through the stone basin and found that there were complex mechanisms connected to the stone basin and the stone pillars, driving the activation of the mausoleum gate.

"Click-click!"

With a crisp sound like a sheath opening, the stone wall next to the platform cracked with a roar, revealing a dark hole.

"Yay, it worked! Third uncle, you deserve to be an old fritter in our industry!" Bai Xiaofei looked at the open entrance of the mausoleum, jumped up excitedly and shouted.

"Hahaha, of course, Uncle is a person who has been in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang for sightseeing." Bai Zhanji laughed proudly, took out the key, and walked towards the entrance of the mausoleum with his head held high.

I said. Are you sure you want to go in? ”

At this time, Ye Feng said with a strange expression.

Bai Zhanji and the four of them looked puzzled, Ye Feng walked up, silently took the key from Bai Zhanji's hand, and inserted it in the fine hole of the stone plate.

Ye Feng rotated the basin like Bai Zhanji did before, and the number of rotations and the change in direction were completely different. Then I heard a crisp click, and a hole that was identical to the one next to the previous entrance to the mausoleum rumbled open.

Two entrances?

When Bai Zhanji and the others were surprised, Ye Feng kept turning the stone plate, and the sound of the stone wall cracking sounded again. The third, fourth, and fifth openings appeared one after another. The last five openings line the stone wall.

"Okay, now, which hole do you want to go into?" Ye Feng said with a mocking smile.

Bai Zhanji and the others had gloomy faces, sweat on their foreheads, and said weakly with a wry smile: "Listen to you." ”

Ye Feng laughed and walked to the penultimate cave mouth on the right.

If it weren't for his spiritual perspective, he really couldn't tell which was the real entrance. These five holes, all of them are three-hundred-meter-long passages, but four of them are dead ends full of various mechanisms, and only the one chosen by Ye Feng is the real entrance.

"I wonder which hole those Americans will choose?" Ye Feng thought maliciously.

Although he didn't see any trace of the Americans catching up, Ye Feng had a strong intuition that those guys must have some way to find here.

He was looking forward to the situation of the Americans eating deflated in the forest of cannibal plants and these false entrances.
