Chapter 169: Cultural Journey
At this moment, the green meat melon and Bai Xiaoke outside must be very anxious......
Occupying the inside of the tree root was the continuous, "clattering" sound of water - when I opened my eyes, the inside of the tree root was not as dim as Lin Sanjiu had imagined, but a white mist, and from time to time a large number of whiskers swam quickly past.
Although it felt as if he was a little sorry for the worries of his companions if he did this, Lin Sanjiu still couldn't hold back the hunger in his stomach and found the half bowl of instant hot noodles he had eaten last time from his card library.
All items that are cardified will always remain in the state they were in at the moment before they became cards; Therefore, as soon as the noodle bowl was held in her hand, the steaming heat mixed with the aroma of assorted seafood suddenly hit her face - before leaving, she had already hung a backpack full of food on the waist of the doll, enough to eat for more than half a month, but she didn't have to worry about the three people outside being hungry.
Judging by the sensations of her body, it has been another day since she entered the root of the tree.
When she was first swept into the roots of the tree, Lin Sanjiu finally tasted the hardships that Bai Xiaoke and the others had suffered: the sticky mucus that was almost cut, wrapped in countless thin whiskers, like a thick piece of wet paper, and it covered her head and face at once-in her ears, eyes, and nose, there was also a slight itchy touch, indicating that there were already whiskers trying to drill into it.
The air has long been cut off, and in order to keep breathing, you have to suck in the little oxygen in the mucus voids; This is undoubtedly equivalent to providing an unimpeded path for the thin beard. Soon, the lungs began to burn and heat, and I wonder if something had already gotten into it.
But fortunately, it didn't take long for these things to lose their enthusiasm for her.
As the suffocation, burning, dampness, and itchiness gradually subsided from Lin Sanjiu's body, she moved her eyes and watched as a long white whisker protruded from under her nose - with an itch that seemed to have been scratched to the bone, the whisker swam out of her nose and turned around and disappeared into the white mucus.
After seeing that scene on his own body, he was still able to calmly suck the hot noodle soup into his mouth, and Lin Sanjiu felt that his psychological element seemed to have become stronger again.
- The reason why she was able to eat noodles so leisurely at this moment was thanks to a capsule that she put away during the Spring Festival fight.
At that time, in order to get out of the arena, she turned her capsule into a card; Then things went one after another, and more and more things came in, and she didn't even think of such a thing.
If it weren't for the difficulty of breathing at that time, and his mind was dazed, thinking "If only there was a box to put me in", I'm afraid Lin Sanjiu would still be struggling at the moment.
What made her most overjoyed was that the slight corrosiveness in the mucus seemed to be nothing to the capsule, and after drifting for so long, the walls of the sac still looked fine, just a little bit of flowering.
Maybe it was because he felt that this thing didn't provide nourishment for himself - in the process of moving forward, two or three times, Lin Sanjiu noticed that the capsule seemed to be being pushed outward by waves of mucus.
It was not easy to get in, and of course she wouldn't let the roots "spit out" herself. As soon as she noticed that the capsule was starting to sway from side to side, she put it away, called out her long knife, and stuck it tightly into the white crust to fix her position—after doing this a few times, perhaps the roots of the tree knew that it hurt, and finally acquiesced to the storage of the thing, and wrapped the capsule in the mucus without discrimination, and flowed in an unknown direction.
Putting down the empty noodle bowl, Lin Sanjiu looked through the capsule wall at a piece of rope she had tied outside.
This idea had only come to her mind not long ago, and she could tell where she was going by the direction of the rope's swing - at this time, the rope was swaying from side to side by waves of oncoming slime, and Lin Sanjiu observed it for a while before he could see that it was faintly floating upward.
…… Does this mean that you are really heading downward?
She looked up in disbelief, and patches of slime flowed slowly like a white mist in her vision.
Even if the flow rate was not fast, Lin Sanjiu stayed inside the roots of the tree for more than a day; According to half an hour and one kilometer, she is now fifty or sixty kilometers deep underground?
…… However, the white roots in front of me did not change in the slightest, and they continued to walk downward, as if they were going to go all the way into the center of the earth.
At such depth, Lin Sanjiu had no other way than to sit in the capsule honestly and wait. At this time, the root that contained her also became her lifeline: if the root was suddenly gone, or if one was accidentally pushed outside by it, Lin Sanjiu would sink into the deep, pitch-black soil, and before he could suffocate, he would be crushed by the weight of the earth on his body.
Once you think about this, the little bit of leisurely eating noodles is gone. Lin Sanjiu's gaze staring at the ground of the capsule even gradually became a little nervous, for fear that if he let go of the slightest swing, he would be pushed out by the roots that thought about her at some point.
As the liquid flows, the "rustle" sound on the capsule is repeated monotonously for a long time, making it feel as if the world is all that is left for the scene.
The fatigue of many days in a row was numbed and touched in the rustling sound, and gradually floated up from the blood and bones.
His eyelids began to sink more and more, Lin Sanjiu blinked vigorously, took a sharp breath, and thought in a daze-even if he fell asleep, as long as the capsule swayed, he would feel it, right?
…… She just fell asleep unconsciously.
Obviously, it seemed that he was still warning himself not to sleep a second ago, but when the capsule shook and Lin Sanjiu suddenly woke up, he realized that he had been asleep for an unknown amount of time. The capsule then stabilized, and it seemed that it had just been turbulent. She picked up the bowl and looked at it, and found that the remaining layer of soup had dried up into a hard lump; Because of my bad posture, my legs are numb.
"It looks like six or seven hours...... Why hasn't there been a little change? ”
She muttered, and as soon as she turned her head, she was caught off guard by a white smiling face.
Even though she had been through a hundred battles, Lin Sanjiu's hairs still stood on top - she suppressed the screams that almost cried out in her throat, and took two steps back, only to find that the original human face was outside the capsule.
After staring at it for a full ten seconds, Lin Sanjiu felt that his heartbeat had stabilized; She stepped forward to take a closer look, and her heart was suddenly crumbled.
It was a strange man who had just floated down the slime, and there was barely a piece of skin left on his body. Because it is a key protection object, only one head and face can still see the original appearance at this time. His abdomen and chest cavity were opened, and the edge of the fissure was a dense semicircle, and it was evident that after countless small holes joined together, the human skin finally could not hold up the crack, and something like a fascia was floating in the fluid.
The place that was originally internal organs was empty, and Lin Sanjiu could see his backbone at a glance - in the empty abdominal cavity, there was only a miserable white.
The man's face was distorted when he died, and at first glance it looked like he was smiling when he looked through the slightly corroded walls of the sac.
If the rabbits had been resisting in the slime, I'm afraid they wouldn't be much different from this man at this time.
The spirit just now had completely driven away the sleepiness, Lin Sanjiu sat down worriedly, looked at his feet in a daze, and tried to recall if they had any abilities or special items that could ensure safety......
Hey?
She paused at the thought and turned her head.
The pale body of the man outside was still floating outside the capsule.
Something seems wrong......
Lin Sanjiu tilted his head, trying to find the thought that flashed just now.
There was nothing surprising about a dead man floating from the roots, for the roots must have absorbed a great deal of living things; But what she had to notice was that the dead man wasn't here before.
If it was something absorbed by the same tree root, Lin Sanjiu would have seen it a long time ago - for example, a fat "free-range chicken" that had been floating on her head was a traveling companion who accompanied her all the way.
Because the velocity of the slime is the same everywhere in the roots of the tree, it is impossible for something in front of it to slow down, or something behind to catch up.
She came closer, looked at the broken face, her heart pounded, and she had a bold conjecture.
Lin Sanjiu forced himself to calm down, and waited for a while, and sure enough, the capsules shook several times one after another.
It wasn't the roots that were pushing her outward—some of the shocks lasted long, some of them flickered; Not long after the shock ended, she could always notice that her surroundings had changed.
The "free-roaming chicken" on his head didn't know where it was washed away by the turbulence, and the dead body just now was far behind; Suddenly, there were more creatures inside the roots, floating in the space around the capsule, all of them were faces that they had never seen before.
A few of the evolutionaries appeared to be alive, and all sorts of life-saving methods were used: one wrapped in a thick golden ribbon, one glowing black - but even then, their condition was only slightly better than that of the dead.
Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a while, but finally didn't save them into the capsule.
Even if she stood next to each other, there were only a little more than two people in the capsule, and she had to think about her companions.
"I'm sorry, you guys can hold on a little longer." She whispered, more like she was comforting herself. "Now all the slime and creatures in the roots of the tree are converging...... There will be a way to get out. ”R1152
