Chapter Two Hundred and Four
Ouyang Zhi and Jiang Zixin didn't stand there all the time, and after knowing that they were safe, they returned to the room behind them, although they didn't fall asleep, but they sat on the sofa to rest.
And Ouyang Fu's side, after passing the news to Ouyang Zhi, also put his mind at ease and refused Chang Cheng's request to be on duty now, Ouyang Fu was on duty in the first half of the night, and Chang Cheng was on duty in the second half of the night. Although I don't know when Chen Yan will come out, it shouldn't be more than the second half of the night, so Ouyang Fu still has to wait for her.
Lang Lang and Mu Lingzi quickly rested, and what the two of them could hold on to now was already the limit. Although Chang Cheng couldn't sleep, he could only squint.
The woods behind him are free of the irritability and anxiety of the daytime, as if they have entered a rest as the night deepens. But after the daytime fighting, no one would think that this forest is friendly and safe. This calm before the storm is even more frightening. But they could do nothing but strengthen their vigilance and seize the time to rest.
Here it comes! Chang Cheng lay on the edge of the fire with his back to everyone. At the sound of very slight footsteps, he opened his eyes. The footsteps were very soft, stepping on the heavy fallen leaves, and they didn't make much sound, but Chang Cheng still heard it clearly.
"Coming back?" Although Ouyang Fu didn't hear Chen Yan's footsteps at first, he had been paying attention to the woods, so he saw Chen Yan's figure as soon as he appeared.
Lang Lang and Mu Lingzi also woke up after Ouyang Fu's voice, they actually didn't sleep deeply, although they knew Chen Yan's ability, but when they didn't see people, they were still worried. And also want to know. Chen Yan went into the space and knew how much he knew about this forest or the mutated banyan tree. Chang Cheng also turned around after they all got up.
"What's wrong?" Ouyang Fu asked softly. The look on Chen Yan's face was not very good, and it was even a little heavy.
"It's okay, it's safe here." This time when she entered the space, the virtual did tell her something about the mutated banyan tree, and the situation was indeed a bit tricky. But it is also reassuring that the mutant banyan tree does not affect the entire forest, or it cannot affect the whole forest around the clock. So where they are now, at this time. It's still safe for the time being.
"Lang Lang. Husband, let's go over there. Chen Yan thought about it and felt that it was better to explain it to them now. Why don't you call Mu Lingzi, it's not to guard against her. But you can't always stay here alone.
"Okay." Ouyang Fu and Lang Lang stood up very simply. I don't plan to deal with the usual. Status and strength determine the way you behave in person. Although Chang Cheng is also a character in the base, compared to Ouyang Fu and Lang Lang, it is not up to the point where they need to explain. And you're welcome. Now, here, Chang Cheng is weak.
Chang Cheng also knew this, but he still made an expression of a little resentment, a little embarrassed, and could only force an indifferent expression. As for the heart, Chang Cheng was snickering, unless they walked out of a distance of 200 meters, he could hear everything they said.
"Go, go, now that it's safe, I'll sleep a little longer, I'll be exhausted." Mu Lingzi waved her hand, but she didn't have any mustard at all. Although they have only been together for a few days, Chen Yan doesn't even hide such an important secret from her space, what else is there to mind? Besides, she was really tired. I squinted just now, but I couldn't sleep at all. Now I can get a good night's sleep.
"I'll keep vigil." Chang Cheng also expressed his attitude helplessly. Chen Yan said that it was safe, but Chang Cheng was not familiar with her, if he rashly believed in the words of a stranger and relaxed his guard, maybe Ouyang Fu and Lang Lang would have to suspect his motives. That's right now.
Chen Yan and the others didn't go far, but they just stood at the edge of the woods, less than 50 meters away from the fire. This time, Chen Yan turned his back to Chang Cheng.
"Is the situation tricky?" Lang Lang asked first, he was the only one who had faced the mutated banyan tree, so he was naturally more anxious than Ouyang Fu.
"This banyan tree is almost a thousand years old. There is a saying that a thousand-year-old tree has become a spirit, even if it is not the end of the world, this banyan tree also has aura. After the end of the day, it seized every opportunity. Especially in Wanchun Garden, the breath of the dead was absorbed by it. Moreover, it also absorbs the essence of living people, and it can add a few evolutionary rains, so it can be said that its current ability is top among both humans and plants. ”
Chen Yan paused, thinking in his heart how to tell them about this. This mutated banyan tree's ability is indeed not small. First of all, it is the invisible membrane that separates Wanchun Garden, which is one of the abilities of this banyan tree. In fact, this membrane does not exist 24 hours a day, if another month, or absorb the essence of 300 people, then this banyan tree can indeed be sealed around the clock, but time cannot be fast-forwarded. However, the virtual only knows that the seal has failed, but the specific expiration time is unknown. And the people in Wanchun Garden also tried many times at that time, but they didn't try every moment, and luckily, they didn't encounter the time when the seal failed. And after many attempts, they gave up.
This point is still very important to Ouyang Zhi and them, even if it takes a day, but as long as they can get out of Wanchun Garden, then the rest of the things will be easy to do. Even if you can't destroy the mutant banyan tree, as long as you don't easily enter here in the future, it won't be a big deal. In the previous life, a ghost land with no entry or exit had been formed here, but didn't the Kyoto base also stand proudly next to it? It can be seen that between them and it, it is not a life-and-death situation.
Another skill of the mutant banyan tree is fog. There are many pools in Wanchun Garden, and because it is surrounded by trees, the water vapor is even greater. That's where the fog comes in. When the Mutated Banyan Tree becomes a Sperm, it can give life to these mist for a certain period of time, as if it were attached to it. It then picks its food through these mist. But because doing so consumes a lot of energy, it can't exist for a long time like a seal. It can only last for a short time each day. But that's it, also for three months, food was delivered to it every day.
As for what Ouyang Zhi discovered, the mist only makes people unconscious, and what really absorbs the essence of the human body is the root of all plants. The same goes for mutant banyan trees. The fog picks people randomly, and after the person is unconscious, he falls to the ground. And the numerous and dense root systems buried deep in the ground will break through the ground, Ouyang Zhi and Jiang Zixin's speculation at that time was not right, it was indeed the root system that was doing the trick, but they did not drag people into the ground, but absorbed and dissolved on the spot, just like the two people Lang Lang saw today. (To be continued.) )
