Puffs of dust were lifted into the air, and smoke and rain fell in clusters, forming a small mound around the sweaty woman.

After digging for almost an hour, as far as the eye can see, there are already four or five such small mounds scattered on the ground.

In my memory, this is indeed the place where the spring cherry blossoms and snow disappear; However, Lin Sanjiu had already turned over a large layer of soil around him, revealing a layer of huge white rhizomes underneath, but when he looked closely, there was not even a shadow in these rhizomes.

With a hot hope, it was suddenly disappointed - Lin Sanjiu only felt that her blood vessels were pounding, and she rubbed her bulging temples, not knowing what was wrong.

Why don't you try another place?

She reluctantly cheered herself up.

Returning to last night's campsite with apprehensive steps, Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to dig for another two hours without a breath, and finally stumbled and sat on the mound of dirt, looking at the sweat and mud all over his body, and his mouth was bitter.

At this moment, in front of her, the earth took on a strange appearance.

The plants that had been clumped, mixed with bricks and stones, were turned up by the roots and piled aside; What was revealed was a white rhizome as thick as a locomotive, densely coiled into a large area.

It looks like a person's skin has been uncovered, but instead of flesh and blood, countless white maggots have been revealed.

But this is only the most superficial layer of the "white radish", most of their bodies are still buried deep in the soil, and they don't know how deep they grow downward.

"Aren't the missing people being sucked into these 'turnips'?" Lin Sanjiu muttered to himself: "If they didn't do it, why would some 'turnips' have dead people wrapped in them......

There is also a possibility that people died here, and then in the process of growing the "white radish", it may not be possible to gradually wrap up the dead body.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu felt that this assumption also had some truth - after all, she had touched these things countless times in the process of digging the soil, if it was really a "white radish" attacking people, why was she still good-looking?

In fact, the easiest way is to find a mouse bug or something to experiment; But Lin Sanjiu had discovered just now: even though she was digging the soil so aggressively, she didn't find half a bug between the soil layers and grass.

She remembered the ugly beetle the size of a human head and covered with dense blood-red compound eyes, which she could see several times a day when she first came out of the Garden of Eden; When sleeping, eating, or walking, it can come out of nowhere-Hui Chuyan occasionally screamed unexpectedly, and was always ridiculed by Xue Yu.

The nest of this beetle is also very disgusting, a large round nest is printed with round shallow pits one by one, and there are usually four insects in a nest, which is just enough to put down four human heads.

The reason why Lin Sanjiu knew so well was because she had smashed several such empty nests in the process of digging the soil just now.

I don't know when the insects in these nests have disappeared like her companions.

She sat on the mound, straightened her feet, stared blankly at the tangled white roots in front of her, and subconsciously counted the time.

Spring Sakura, Bai Xiaoke, and error code 517 disappeared the earliest, and 24 hours have passed by now; Although it is not known exactly when the others disappeared, it has been almost 15 hours since they were found......

As soon as the thought turned here, Lin Sanjiu immediately slapped himself with his backhand.

"I don't care how long they've been gone!" She gritted her teeth fiercely, and there was a sinister look between her eyebrows. "To live to see people, to die to see corpses!"

When he was digging the soil just now, because he didn't know what these "white radish" were, Lin Sanjiu was still a little wary of them, so he was always careful when he started, and he didn't even dare to damage their skin.

But now that she's ruthless, she doesn't care so much, picks up the long knife she found from the ear guide, and swings it towards the "white radish"-

The crust on their surface was not as strong as it looked - Lin Sanjiu felt that his knife had just touched the skin of the radish, and before he could cut it, the skin suddenly opened on its own—it was not correct to say that it was opened, it felt more like "turning over". Just like people have to open their mouths when eating, the radish skin is also opened open, and there is a filament pulled out of the mucus hanging in a silky way.

And her long knife sank into the sticky, soft, semi-solid mucus without hindrance, and the "white radish" immediately closed its skin, as if it had taken half of the blade in its mouth.

Lin Sanjiu held the handle of the knife and was stunned for a few seconds - unlike the expected "white radish" fragments splashing around, she didn't know what to do for a while.

…… Do you want to pull the knife out? Or just paddle it along?

Before she could make up her mind, the "white radish" had another accident - there was a "bang", and the blade was wrapped in a large amount of mucus and pushed out of the open skin.

The skin of the radish was folded, and it looked exactly the same as before, and there was no sign that it had ever been opened.

Belch?

Lin Sanjiu looked at the wet long knife, and then at the white rhizome in front of him. “…… What, don't you like it? ”

This was indeed her first reaction.

When I looked closer, I saw that there was more than just mucus hanging from the long knife; There were also strands of slender rhizomes, which seemed to have been cut off by a knife after all—they struggled and rolled in the air like fish out of water, and then hung down.

This thing is inexplicably disgusting......

After thinking about it, she grabbed a blade of grass, wiped the long knife clean, put it away, and then slowly approached the "white radish" with her arm.

This time, Lin Sanjiu's eyes were fixed on it, not daring to let go of the slightest abnormality.

When they accidentally touched this kind of "white radish" before, they would often tremble lightly, but Lin Sanjiu didn't care, he just thought it was because they had a life relationship; But after carefully staring at this time, she can see the process of "trembling" clearly.

As her arm approached the skin of the turnip, a small slit opened slightly—and in the gap, she could barely see clumps of thin roots covered in mucus, as if the brain had been dissected and the nerves inside.

A thin root protrudes a head from the crack tentatively, but somehow, before the slime on its body drips down, the root has quickly retracted, and as soon as the radish skin closes, the "white radish" trembles slightly, and then it looks as if nothing has happened.

Lin Sanjiu looked at this qiē dumbfounded, unable to make a sound at all.

She raised her arm and tried several more places, and the "white radish" in each place had almost the same reaction. After trying it once, no matter how close she got to, even if she put her hand on it, she still didn't get any response.

"What the is this?" Lin Sanjiu smashed his fist on the "white radish", which shook it and opened a small opening, and then looked around a little helplessly.

Although there were no bugs to test on, she almost decided that people and animals were caught up in these "white radish" - but for some reason, they refused to do anything to themselves.

It would be nice to have someone verify her idea...... With her by her side, nothing will happen......

I thought so, but Lin Sanjiu also knew that it was unlikely.

Because the range of the "pedestal" detected by the [Dog Frisbee] has already expanded compared to last night's camping - Lin Sanjiu is sure that if she runs to the edge of the [Dog Frisbee] now and starts digging the soil, she will definitely find the same "white radish".

These things seem to be growing forward at a very fast pace.

"Do you want to call Gong Daoyi?" Lin Sanjiu thought of the only person she could contact, "That guy is very powerful, he should at least be able to protect himself......"

She sat down facing the "white radish", called out the paper crane, and rubbed it back and forth in the palm of her hand, not knowing what she was hesitating about.

Today's radiation clouds are not thick, and it is the time when the sun is high, and the sun has dyed a strange scene around her with a layer of bright warmth, and even the "white radish" looks a little crystal clear.

In such sunlight, if there are suddenly a few long shadows around you, it is very conspicuous.

Lin Sanjiu jumped up, and when she turned around, the long knife was already tightly held in her hand.

No matter who it is, it is definitely not easy to come behind her so quietly-

However, as soon as her gaze fell on the uninvited guest behind her, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief - Lin Sanjiu herself didn't expect that she actually knew someone.

No wonder I walked without making a sound, and I came to the back without saying hello.

"Why are you ......" She didn't have a bad feeling towards the visitor, but she still had to guard against it. Did Nuwa let you attack me again? ”

On the two-meter-high torsos behind him, two pairs of arms were born on the left and right, and the heads were in the shape of almonds—the two "new people" created by Nuwa, Montesquieu and Aristotle.

Montesquieu seemed to understand what she meant, and shook her head slightly but distinctly—its blue-gray skin, shimmering in the sun, reminded Lin Sanjiu of a dolphin.

I don't know if it's because I've been under too much pressure by myself, but when I saw the sages this time, she actually had a sense of intimacy: "...... So how did you end up here? If other evolutionaries see you, they will attack you as a Fallen Species. ”

Looking at Nuwa's previous behavior, it is clear that they were hidden on the top floor of the Black Tower - this time, for some reason, the sages actually walked outside openly.

Aristotle nodded, not knowing whether to approve of her or to thank her for his concern—and then Montesquieu took out a folded piece of paper from one of his belt pockets and handed it to Lin Sanjiu. R1152
