Chapter 722: The Man-Eating Tree
The mountain that Qin Feng saw was very peculiar, and on the back of this mountain, there was a long gentle slope.
What is very strange is that on the mountain, which was originally full of dense forests, there is no grass in a place of tens of meters, and the jungle stands abruptly on the gentle slope, with tall trees and lush foliage, and it is dark and you can't see the depths.
This forest occupies only half of the area of this gentle slope, but on the other side of the gentle slope, it is full of flowers, and even if you are far away, you can smell the faint fragrance of the wind.
"Old Lu, why don't you stay there today!"
After resting on the mountain beam for a while, Qian Yuandan pointed to the open space below and said, "It's too dangerous in the woods, how about we stay in the open space for one night?" ”
In the afternoon, when I heard Yao Er talk about the annihilation of the team in the jungle, Qian Yuandan and the others looked at the jungle with a little bit of fear in their eyes.
"Yao Er, what do you think?"
Although Lu Fenglei had the highest cultivation among these people, he was not familiar with this mountain at all, so he did not make the decision rashly, but looked at Yao Er, who was walking behind.
"That clearing would be a good fit, but...... Why is there no growth? Yao Er's eyes looked at the empty space, and he didn't know why, and he felt a sense of danger in his heart.
"Maybe there's a rock down there, right?" Lu Fenglei waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to a closer place and observe again, if it is not suitable, choose another place......
There are a lot of legends about the Three Realms Mountain outside, and it is also the first of the four Jedi, even if Lu Fenglei has entered the realm of transforming strength, he does not dare to be careless in this dangerous mountain.
"Damn, this old guy is very cautious!"
After hearing Lu Fenglei's words, Qin Feng couldn't help but curse in his heart, and Zhang Hu, who was walking behind Lu Fenglei. He also glanced back at Qin Feng, with a hint of anxiety on his face.
Qin Feng glanced at Zhang Hu and signaled him not to worry, in this mountain full of crises, there are many opportunities, maybe Lu Fenglei will be bitten by some poisonous insect in the next moment.
However, Qin Feng also knew the way. The chances of this probability occurring are absolutely slim.
Because of the kung fu to the realm of Lu Fenglei, they are extremely sensitive to the crisis, and they can often make predictions in advance before the crisis arrives.
Just like Qin Feng now, he could already feel that there was a dead air in that jungle, and there was a throbbing in his heart, and his heartbeat was much faster than usual.
Qin Feng hasn't entered the transformation strength yet, and he has this feeling. He believed that Lu Fenglei should have also noticed it, and if he wanted to use the man-eating tree to deal with Lu Fenglei, this idea might not work.
As the saying goes, the mountain runs a dead horse, and although the mountain beam seems to be very close to the gentle slope, several people still walked for nearly an hour before they came to the place where the gentle slope was.
By this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the afterglow that fell fell on the hillside, covering the entire hillside with a layer of reddish color. The leaves of the flowers, in particular, looked blood-red.
"It's really the protruding part of the rock. This should be a whole boulder, not even a crack in the stone......"
Standing in that open space, Yao Er picked up the wooden knife in his hand, dug into the ground a few times, suddenly stopped his hand, and said, "Something is wrong." This...... It's a bit too quiet here! ”
"That's right, there's been no less movement along the way!"
After hearing Yao Er's words, Qian Ning, who was originally tired and paralyzed on the ground, jumped up suddenly and said, "Why are there no mosquitoes anymore?" This...... What the hell is this place? ”
There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, and along the way, everyone has seen many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects that cannot be named. And there is a tiger roaring ape in the ears, but standing in this place, it is quiet and makes people a little panicked.
Qian Ning was bitten by a bug in his hand before, and he was cursing all the way, but at this time, he couldn't see those mosquitoes, and his expression became more and more panicked.
......A wolf howl rang out in the mountains in the distance, followed by a roar, and the two voices seemed to be facing each other.
"It's okay, it's finally getting a little popular." Young Master Ning patted his chest, the kind of tranquility when he first arrived here really startled him.
"That wooded place, you can't go!"
Yao Er stood in the clearing, looking at the jungle dozens of meters away, with a sad look in his eyes, and said: "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I feel that it is very dangerous there, and I can't get out if I go in......"
"Wandering around in a crisis often seems to improve people's sensing ability......" Qin Feng glanced at Yao Er with some surprise, he didn't expect Yao Er to also sense the feeling of danger.
"You're right, I feel it too!" Lu Fenglei nodded and looked intently, but because it was late, he didn't see anything.
The branches and foliage of the forest are extremely luxuriant, each big tree is dozens of meters high, and the branches and vines cover the forest tightly, and the originally dim sunset cannot shine into it at all.
As for the ground, it is covered with fallen dead leaves, separated by dozens of meters, not only can you smell the fragrance of the flowers, but also the smell of rotting branches and leaves of trees.
"Master Lu, I suggest we go back to the top of the mountain, this ...... It always gives me a sense of danger here......"
Looking at that jungle, Yao Er's heart was beating very hard, and the black jungle seemed to be like a monster's big mouth, which could swallow them in one bite.
"Ming'er, don't we still have to go through there? I think, Yao Er, you go explore the road first......"
Although Qian Ning was also very scared, he really couldn't walk, and if he was asked to turn back and climb up, it would be his life, so he refuted it at the first time.
"No...... It's dangerous there, I ...... If I go, I probably won't be able to come back! ”
Yao Er shook his head repeatedly, a look of fear in his eyes, because he found that in the depths of that jungle, there was actually a bright white light.
"Yao Er, what did you find?" Lu Fenglei saw that Yao Er's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
"Ghost ...... Ghost Fire ......" Yao Er pointed to the woods, his face changed greatly.
"What? Ghost fire? After hearing Yao Er's words, Lu Fenglei hurriedly looked ahead, and sure enough, in the dark depths of the woods, there were dots of white light.
"This ...... How can there be a ghost fire here? Channing, who was sitting on the ground like a dead dog, jumped up all of a sudden.
"There must have been a lot of deaths in there!"
Yao Er took a deep breath and said, "Only in places where there are many dead people, will ghost fires appear, I ...... I suspect that the woods evolved from the Dryads......"
In the Three Realms Mountain, the most widely rumored are the ghost mist, the tree spirit and the flower demon, Yao Er once saw the power of the ghost fog with his own eyes, but he has never been able to see the tree spirit and the flower demon, and the legend has it that the people who have seen these two things have all died.
"Isn't the fart tree spirit a man-eating tree?"
Seeing Lu Fenglei and Yao Er's solemn faces, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority in IQ in his heart, this scientific and technological development did explain many ancient mysteries.
It's like the ghost fire that a few people are talking about, but it's actually the fluorescence emitted by the white bones of dead people or animals.
The scientific explanation of ghost fire is phosphorus fire, because the bones of people and some things contain phosphorus, and phosphine will be produced when phosphorus reacts with water or alkali, which is a gas that can spontaneously combust, light in weight, and will move when the wind blows.
In the countryside or next to some graves, phosphorus fires often appear, and when people walk, the wind will drive them to move behind, and that scene is indeed very scary, so it is called "ghost fire" by those who are less courageous or superstitious.
"Lu Lao, I'...... I think we'd better go back! Qian Yuandan's face also showed fear, he hadn't enjoyed the glory and wealth of the family, but he didn't want to die here in vain.
"Young master, don't be busy yet!" Lu Fenglei snorted coldly and said, "I want to see the so-called Dryad and see if I can do anything about it?" ”
From some records of the Qian family's exploration of the four Jedi, Lu Fenglei had seen a description of the cannibal tree, detailing the situation where the vines could entangle people and then suck up the blood.
However, it is also written in the record that if the reaction is fast enough to cut the vine in time, it will not be life-threatening.
When the expedition team encountered the man-eating tree, it was at the beginning that several people were sucked dry by the man-eating tree without defense, and later, under the opening of several chemical masters, the man-eating tree was no longer able to hurt people's lives.
On the contrary, the flower demon is more harmful to people, because the flower demon grows on the ground, and the branches and leaves are very wide, and while wrapping people in it, it will spray a kind of juice to corrode the human body.
The last time I explored the Three Realms Mountain, there were dozens of Qian family masters who died at the hands of the Flower Demon, far higher than the Man-Eating Tree.
So when he heard Yao Er say that it might be a tree spirit, Lu Fenglei was afraid, and the person who practiced martial arts was originally bold, and he actually had the idea of going to investigate.
"Lu Lao, don't be careless!" Qian Yuandan dissuaded: "It's getting late now, why don't we retreat to the mountain first and investigate tomorrow?" ”
"Young master, it's okay, I'll be careful!"
Lu Fenglei waved his hand, there was nothing in this world that could make him feel curious and dangerous, and now this forest actually brought him a lot of pressure, which couldn't help but make Lu Fenglei a little eager to try.
Qian Yuandan did not have the right to order Lu Fenglei, and after hearing Lu Fenglei's words, he could only say: "Okay, Lu Lao, don't do anything and return immediately!" ”
"I know the way, you guys go back a bit!"
Lu Fenglei nodded, flipped his wrist, and the scimitar used to open the way suddenly appeared on his right hand, and he walked cautiously towards the woods.
Dozens of meters away, it was downhill again, and it didn't take a few minutes for Lu Fenglei to approach the periphery of the woods, and Lu Fenglei, who was also tall, was unusually small under those towering trees-
