Chapter 15 Dian Bai
The rain was extremely strong, and after coming into contact with the cold fog in the rainforest, there were also some subtle ice ballasts, which hurt people, if it was originally when she was exploring by herself, Catherine would definitely weave a shed roof for herself and then shrink in it to hide from the rain, and now she can only run behind Ling Mo, and after a while, her whole body will be wet and transparent, and when the wind blows, it will be cold to the bone marrow.
Seeing Catherine's doubts and dissatisfaction, Ling Mo explained: "Now it is the coverage of the real Warcraft Rainforest, in fact, throughout the year, it will rain almost all nights in the Warcraft Rainforest, the difference is only the size of the rain, you have to get used to this environment, otherwise you can't survive here." β
Catherine wiped the rain from her face, pointed to the clothes that were completely attached to her body, and asked, "But this kind of wet clothes are really uncomfortable, and this will cause skin diseases, right?"
"So you need waterproof clothes, similar to those on me," Ling Mo showed the animal skin around his body, such a heavy rain, the water droplets fell on the animal skin but all of them were bounced off, and they didn't get on it at all, "Okay, I'll make you one later, now follow me first, it's too late to catch up with an excellent hunting ground!"
Catherine imagined herself surrounded by a body of animal skin, and couldn't help but feel a little cold, she stopped making a sound, and followed Ling Mo to continue in the rainforest, because at this time there was a lot of water on the ground, and in some places the water was even more than half a meter, so the two gave up running on the ground, and instead swayed around on the high treetops, like Tarzan of the Apes, the trees in the Warcraft rainforest were next to each other, and many of the crowns were connected to each other, but there was no shortage of places to borrow strength, but Catherine was not very accustomed to this novel way of moving, and the way of exerting force occasionally made mistakes, consuming a lot of physical strength, and she was a little hungry at this timeγ
Thinking of Ling Mo's teachings, she secretly observed as she moved forward, these vines hanging everywhere were very likely to hide snakes inside, and if they found them, they could have a full meal.
Soon, her eyes lit up, and the vines hanging from a cypress tree not far away looked a little strange, and when she looked closely, wasn't it an upside-down green snake? Catherine laughed secretly in her heart, the snake in this rainforest is really simple, back and forth is just such a trick.
She stopped, leaned in front of the 'vine', and reached out to grab it very freely, Ling Mo looked back and saw this scene, his face changed slightly, and he wanted to remind something, but he swallowed the words back.
Catherine caught the snake without any suspense, the unique cold feeling of reptiles mixed with the touch of slightly elastic muscles, it couldn't be wrong! This was definitely a green snake, but to Catherine's bewilderment, the snake did not react to her grasp at all, and completely lost its swift movement, like a dead snake.
Picked up the snake in his hand and looked at it, the eyes on the snake's head still had the luster of life, and the snake hyacinth was still spitting and spitting, yes, it was a live snake? Catherine was puzzled for a moment, and then thought to herself, if it was alive and could be eaten, as soon as she exerted her strength on her arm, she wanted to pull the snake off the branch, but she didn't expect to pull it hard, but she couldn't pull it!
She looked up, but saw that the tail end of the snake was not wrapped around the trunk of the tree in a winding way at all, but the tail part was directly fused with the branches of the vine, regardless of each other, as if a snake had "grown" on the tree!
A chill rose directly from the soles of her feet to the heavenly spirit cover, Catherine threw away the green snake in her hand, screamed, and wanted to jump away from the snake, but at some point, those low-hanging vines and tree bars all gathered over, dancing slightly in the wind, faintly forming a net of heaven and earth, completely surrounding her!
If you look closely, the vines that surround you are all growing sharp barbs, and the tips of the barbs are still slowly oozing out some unknown white viscous liquid, even with such a heavy rain, those white juices are still firmly stuck to the surface of the rattan, and they have not been washed away at all!
Catherine's scalp was numb! She remembered what she had learned in her previous wilderness survival class, that most of the plants that secrete milky white sap are highly poisonous, and many uncivilized savage tribes use this white sap on sharp weapons as a hunting weapon, the most famous of which is "seeing blood and sealing the throat"!
Brushed out the dagger, Catherine knew that she couldn't wait any longer, the vine network around her was getting denser and denser, and she didn't even have room to toss and turn now, taking a deep breath, Catherine looked in one of the directions, and with a large swing of the knife in her hand, she rushed over with an arrow step under her feet!
With a pop, the vines were undoubtedly cut neatly, but what sent chills through Catherine's heart was that the severed vines were not sap at all, but large strands of crimson blood gushing out!
By this cut, the speed of the surrounding vines and branches became much faster, and those overwhelming vines formed dozens of eerie ghost claws, constantly grabbing Catherine's location, trying to completely entangle Catherine, Catherine tried her best to exert her physical fitness to the limit, retreating while fighting, dodging those who could dodge, and cutting off those who couldn't dodge with a dagger, and seeing that they were about to get out of the envelope of this strange cypress tree.
Seeing this scene, the cypress tree shook wildly, in addition to those ghost claws, more vines directly "pierced" Catherine, until close to Catherine saw clearly, what kind of vine this is! It is clearly a green snake with its tail growing directly on the branches! They have red eyes, open their big mouths, show their sharp fangs, and bite Catherine from all kinds of strange angles!
Yes!
Catherine's shoulder hurt suddenly, it took too much energy and attention to avoid those snake heads, and she was accidentally hung by those tree bars that secreted milky white juice, and her body seemed to be injected with something, and the hot pain immediately spread from her shoulder to this upper body, making her eyes a little red, and Catherine immediately realized that she had been poisoned!
With a successful blow, the cypress seemed to be very confident in its venom, and its attack frequency became slower, it should have waited for Catherine's poison to slow down and its body movements to slow down before making plans, and it could be seen that it cherished its serpentine branches very much, and at this time it had been cut off several by Catherine, so it simply stopped sending it out, and only relied on those eerie ghost claws and Catherine to slowly circulate.
Under the bleak wind and cold rain, a cypress tree waved its branches in the sky and wanted to eat people, this scene is just like in the story of demons and monsters! A thunderbolt sounded in the air again, and the white lightning illuminated everything around her again, and Catherine finally saw the true appearance of the cypress tree in front of her, not as straight as an ordinary cypress tree, but growing crookedly, like two strange snakes coiled together, twisting upwards, in the middle of the trunk, there was an old tree face that looked like a human face, and at this time it was facing Catherine, with an indescribable hideous look, and let out a chatter and strange laugh!
Looking at this hideous face, Catherine suddenly had a strange idea in her heart, she didn't have time to hesitate, she immediately put the idea in her heart into practice, she exerted all her strength, threw the dagger in her hand, and the target was the terrifying tree face!
The rattans that were originally wrapped around her suddenly retracted, and they were sparsely blocked in front of the dagger that was flying past, but the sharpness of this dagger was really beyond imagination, it cut off five tree bars without hindrance, and the remaining momentum was inexhaustible, and it was inserted in the eyebrows of the tree face!
Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A terrible scream sounded, and the face of the tree that was pierced by the dagger showed a look of extreme pain, and the blood spurted out of the sky at the broken point, and even Catherine, who took this opportunity to get out of the attack range of the cypress, splashed some on her face, you must know that Catherine was ten meters away from the tree at this time!
Catherine half-knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, the blow just now completely exhausted her strength, she didn't even have the strength to move at this time, and looked at this cypress tree in a frenzy, the branches were twitching wildly, this kind of ghost-like man-eating tree, let alone seen it, she hadn't even heard of it!
The branches of the cypress tree danced wildly for a while, as if it had finished venting, and on the hideous face of the tree, two red rays of light suddenly lit up at the hollow eye sockets, staring viciously at Catherine not far away, and then its huge body trembled, and the ground within a radius of seven or eight meters also trembled, and then in Catherine's horrified gaze, this cypress tree actually pulled its roots up, completely out of the ground, entangled and twisted into seven or eight legs, and the lower body strode after it like a spider!
What the hell is this!
Catherine was about to collapse, she was completely immobile at this moment, and watched the giant tree come over, and seven or eight ghost claws from the canopy reached down, grabbed her, lifted her high, and then sent it towards the huge mouth of the tree that was jagged and glowing with a dark green light!
In the next second, she felt that her body was light, all the rattans tied to her body were all broken, and the person also fell into a warm embrace, she looked up and saw the resolute side face of her master Ling Mo, at this time he was staring closely at the cypress tree in front of him, and the cypress tree also stopped all movements, staring at the man in front of him with hesitant eyes, full of jealousy.
