Chapter 173: The Secret of the Meat Apple

I don't know if the snake-faced person can hear it, but Lin Sanjiu's ear drums at the moment are full of his own heavy breathing.

It seems that even the blood is numb.

"Green onions...... From, where? The cracks in the snake-faced man's face deepened, forming a deep, dark, canyon-like smile.

It obviously felt very new about the language that came out of its mouth, and it curled its forked tongue, revealing a little interest in continuing to talk: "You, say." ”

- Lin Sanjiu never expected that this snake-faced man would be able to speak human words.

Knowing that this was an accident, the remorse swallowed her heart like a poisonous snake - if only she hadn't touched the apple! It's so reckless!

What should I do now?

Seeing that she didn't respond, the snake-faced man couldn't bear it anymore - its coiled snake tail quickly opened, its body rose higher and higher, and a pair of vertical pupils more than a person tall were staring at Lin Sanjiu.

"From ...... Where does it come from? ”

Lin Sanjiu felt a chill in her heart, but her reaction was faster than her thoughts, she instantly put away the polish, and under the cover of the sudden darkness, she turned around and ran.

However, as soon as she moved, something slammed down on her front, as if it had been hit by a meteorite, and the branches that had been steady under her feet suddenly trembled violently, and she was knocked to the ground at once.

Lin Sanjiu hurriedly called out the [Ability Polish] and saw that a black shadow like a bridge was lying across her head, and the other end was branching off, and it was now piercing into the bark of a tree not far in front of her—it was the tongue of the snake-faced man.

If I had run faster just now, I was afraid that she would have been pierced and crushed.

A huge drop of saliva suddenly fell, and it slapped right on Lin Sanjiu's body, and in an instant she was drenched - it was just a drop of saliva, but the force was so great that even the skin of her whole body was faintly painful. If this snake-faced man wants to do something to her—

Lin Sanjiu couldn't figure out what he should do.

"I—I came out of the tree...... "She wiped her face and had to speak. Perhaps there is some turning point in the conversation: "...... Why do you say our words? ”

Obviously, not every snake-faced person can speak human words - otherwise, where would Lin Sanjiu still be alive until now, I am afraid that when the meat apple makes a sound, he will be found.

It seems that only this snake-faced man understood, so he quietly turned back after everyone left.

Hearing the answer, the black shadow like a bridge above his head swished back. Such a big thing, but the speed was so fast that people didn't have time to react - because it was so close, Lin Sanjiu couldn't see its expression, and only heard the snake-faced man hiss, "Tree? Odd...... No way. ”

But there was no answer to her question.

She was shocked by the loud noise at close range, rubbed her ears and said, "I didn't lie to you, I really came out of the tree." ”

The two tall vertical pupils turned back and forth, and they looked even more permeable in the silver light of the [Ability Polish].

"Impossible...... All the nutrients, as they should, have been absorbed. The snake-faced man stared at Lin Sanjiu and didn't move, and seemed to be preventing her from suddenly running away again. You, why...... Not in Apple? Where are you from, inside? ”

Nutrient? In the apple?

Although he had a vague premonition, Lin Sanjiu was still cold all over.

"What are nutrients...... We humans? She stammered, feeling as if she had asked nonsense.

Surprisingly, however, the snake-faced man denied it.

After sticking out the tip of its tongue and uttering a syllable similar to "no", it seemed to be making a sentence, and after a while, it slowly said: "The tree bears fruit, and the fruit is nourishing." What I eat, the nutrients are not good, and the ...... is poor However, I understand what you are saying. ”

- No, it can't be what I thought it meant, right?

Lin Sanjiu was almost stunned.

"Some of the fruits are good, such as—" The snake-faced man seemed to have some interest in talking to a creature other than the snake man for the first time. When it said this, it pronounced a very complex syllable with its tongue, which felt like a personal name: "...... Eat one, and she'll glow. Some of them are not good, but when I eat them, I understand the words. ”

"Each fruit has different nutrients, and the leader eats the best, the best."

Even if the snake-faced man didn't understand it well, Lin Sanjiu immediately understood it all.

These apple trees, in a sense, are a "reprocessor". The flesh and blood of the Evolver are mixed up here, turning into flesh apples that grow one by one - each meat apple is probably condensed and integrated with the Evolver's abilities, and after the snake-faced man eats them, he will gain the corresponding abilities.

In the concept of snake-faced people, of course, the nutrients are not human beings, but human abilities.

In this way, it is easy to explain why the fleshy apple can still speak - the apple tree must keep them alive in order to retain the abilities of the evolutionary. It's just that they live in human form, or if they live as apples after the flesh and blood of many different people are mixed together, it's not their concern.

And the apple that this little snake-faced man secretly ate before may happen to be a verbal communication skill.

Thinking of the missing rabbit group, Lin Sanjiu's heart was suddenly hung high, and she wanted to look at every branch at once—but she couldn't even move.

"You...... Said it came out of a tree. The snake-faced man spoke again, and the buzzing sound shook his body. Could it be that the nutrients in the fruit are all things like you? ”

"That's right!" Lin Sanjiu was slightly surprised that it hadn't thought about the source of nutrients, and then said with luck: "I just want to find a few of my friends, as soon as we find someone, we will leave immediately, and it will definitely not affect the apples you eat...... May I? ”

Originally, when she was drifting among the rhizomes, she also thought about saving a few more people who could do her best, but now she has long given up this unrealistic fantasy.

As long as the rabbit and his party can be rescued, Lin Sanjiu will be content...... However, the snake-faced man tilted his head slightly, looked at her, and did not speak for a long time.

The deathly quiet air, surrounded by thick darkness, seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

Lin Sanjiu became more and more nervous, and quietly put his hands behind his back.

After a good day, the snake-faced man finally spoke up.

"Can you escape...... Tree, it's amazing. It still spoke so slowly, and its body suddenly began to sway from side to side, "If I eat you, it will be very powerful." Become a boss! ”

X Your mother-Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but curse a rabbit's national scolding just now, and the vertical pupils in front of him suddenly rose, and almost at the same time, a black shadow shot out of the snake-faced man's mouth and attacked her directly.

What is it like to be hit head-on by the Golden Gate Bridge, Lin Sanjiu finally realized a little-

There was a loud bang, and the tongue dug deep into the bark of the tree, and the ground shook as debris flew into the sky. Fortunately, Lin Sanjiu had already prepared, and had already rolled out for a long distance with his hands and feet, and the wolf dodged over.

"I thought you were big, so I couldn't help it?" She spat hard, and saw that her tongue struck again, but there was really nothing she could do, so she jumped and jumped onto another branch not far below.

Barely off the ground, the place where she had just stood was shattered to pieces—the familiar slime splattered and drenched her like rain.

It's not a way to hide like this, if only [Bubble Blowing Girl] was still there-

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Sanjiu was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly opened his card library.

When she was searching for things in the real room of the Garden of Eden, she almost saw what she saw and took something, and then it was unified into cards, so that she forgot some things herself—she hurriedly glanced at the cards in her hand, and suddenly had an idea.

At this point, the offensive behind him stopped, and only the ground was constantly vibrating, as if the snake-faced man was surrounding the tree, looking up and down for her traces.

Because Lin Sanjiu was hiding behind a branch, right in the blind corner of the snake-faced man's line of sight, and in order not to become the only rake in the dark, the [Ability Polish] had already been put away by her, and it was pitch black at this time, and the snake-faced man was also affected.

"Where ......? It's annoying, I'm going to crush you......"

The long tongue hissed back and forth over the bark, and just as it could not bear the scorch, a sudden silver light suddenly lit up on a branch, and then disappeared immediately—a short moment enough to be caught by the snake-faced man, and the long tongue shot out towards the place where the light was.

However, in the next second, something unexpected happened to the snake-faced man.

The tongue seemed to poke into a misty thing, and a hot stinging pain that it had never experienced before suddenly swam up the tip of its tongue - the snake-faced man hissed violently, subconsciously withdrew his long tongue into his mouth, and then could no longer make a sound-

It fell to the ground, clutching its thick snake neck with both hands, and struggled silently, its long snake body tumbling and rolling on the ground, shaking several apple trees slightly, and even shaking off a few fleshy apples—and after a while, the tremors like small earthquakes finally subsided.

The black shadow representing the snake-faced man lay on the ground like a mountain, motionless.

From one branch, Yingying lit up with a small silver light. The light did not shine far, it was already blurred; Lin Sanjiu looked at the shadow-like hill in the distance with fear, and waited for a long time before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

She looked down at the recovery device of the [Microbial Smoke Cloud] in her hand and smiled bitterly.

The simple trap just set up really worked, and the snake-faced man really plunged his tongue into a small piece of purple mist formed by the [Microbial Smoke Cloud] - the smoke cloud immediately adhered to it, and it was withdrawn from its body along its tongue, but I was afraid that it would never need this recovery device again.

As soon as the snake-faced man's struggles and screams disappeared, the space instantly returned to a dead silence, and the sound of a thump's heartbeat sounded so clear.

Time is running out, Lin Sanjiu thought secretly. Before the other snake-faced people find this corpse, they must quickly find a way to find the rabbit and the group and try to escape. R1152
