136. The Tree of Life
"I always felt like we were going the wrong way." After passing through the passage, Lin Wen suddenly spoke, "You see, this passage was tightly covered by the flesh and blood tissue that looked like a heart before, and it obviously didn't look like a caveman could pass through. ”
"What then? Are we going back? One of the thieves in the team asked.
"No, let's move on, I want to see what's at the end of this passage." Lin Wen looked at the flesh and blood tissues like blood vessels on the wall and said. These dense "blood vessels" connected to the shriveled flesh on the ground, and as the flesh began to shrink as it dried up.
Lin Wen estimated that the shriveled thing just now was really a large heart, which was used to absorb the organs of some kind of substance that was transported to a certain place in the cave through these "blood vessels" on the wall. It doesn't matter if this place is a caveman's lair or not, just follow the veins on the walls, and the ends of these veins must be hiding some secrets.
Walking all the way along the passage, just when he passed a corner, Lin Wen suddenly found that five points of light representing humanoid creatures appeared on the tracking field of vision, and judging from the position of the light points, these five humanoid creatures were in the center of the passage behind the corner.
"There are five humanoid targets, and everyone sees them before they fight." Lin Wen habitually gave a hint, then turned the immortal to face and crawled sideways around the corner like a crab.
Then what Lin Wen saw was a dazzling light, and nothing else could be seen.
Puff puff!! This was the sound of his teammates' silenced weapons firing, and at the same time, Lin Wen actually felt that the immortal shell he was riding on vibrated one after another, and several bullets hit the immortal shell. Punch holes in the shells of the Immortals in a large expanse of Mars.
"Ceasefire! Cease fire! It's your own people who fight! Lin Wen immediately grabbed the communicator and shouted. Fortunately, Lin Wen is used to seeing the enemy clearly before firing, otherwise there will be no one left on the opposite side.
"I'm sorry. From so far away, I thought you were cavemen. After the two teams met, the eleventh team of hunters piloting the immortals said embarrassedly.
"Forget it. It's good that there are no dead people. ”
Because both sides had their headlights on, they couldn't see the mercenaries hiding behind the Immortals clearly under the illumination of the lights on both sides, and all the mercenary bullets flew towards the Immortals' shells, so there was no damage except for a few more scorched holes in the Immortals' shells.
"By the way, why didn't you use the Rotary Machine Gun just now?" Lin Wen asked the doubt in his heart, he didn't need to turn the machine gun because he didn't see the enemy's face, and the other party didn't know what the reason was.
"We're out of bullets." The eleventh team of hunters piloting the immortals said.
"Done? Thirty-two thousand rounds of ammunition are all gone? Lin Wen was shocked.
"That's right, we've come across a whole bunch of stone elementals. A few elite stone elementals, and two stone elemental lords, you know, these things are particularly durable, not only have I run out of bullets here, but their RPGs and gun grenades have also run out. Team Eleven Hunters snorted at their teammates.
"I still have a small half pack here, more than 3,000 rounds, you can save some use." Lin Wen unloaded the ammo pack of the multi-barreled machine gun on the left side of his immortal and gave it to Team Eleven, "Brothers. Give them a little more ammunition. ”
Each of the mercenaries in the first team divided half of the RPG warheads and grenades to the eleventh team, and then everyone began to discuss where to go next.
"I just passed an intersection and saw a lot of footprints on the ground, as well as traces of the Immortals' movement. It is estimated that four teams walked through there. Team Eleven Hunters pointed to the passage behind them.
"There's no other way?"
"There's no more, and if you have to say anything else, you'll have to start over at the entrance."
The two sides were chatting. Suddenly, the communicator rang, and the excited voices of the four teams of druids piloting the immortals were heard: "We have found the cavemen's lair!" One team. Team Eleven, where are you? ”
"We'll be there later. How's your hand? Lin Wen hurriedly grabbed the communicator and asked.
"There's no danger here, but come here! Oh my God, you can't guess what I saw! ”
"Okay, we'll be right there."
After hanging up the communication, Lin Wen and the eleventh team of hunters glanced at each other, and then asked his teammates to lie on the outer wall of the immortals, and increased the throttle and ran in the direction of the fourth team.
After entering the passage mentioned by the eleventh team of hunters, Lin Wen found that those blood vessels-like flesh and blood tissues were leading to the depths of this passage, and in the corners and cracks of the passage, there were also many glowing crystal clusters, obviously this was the glowing crystal that the four team druids were talking about during the previous call.
As the two teams deepened, Lin Wen also found that there were a lot of broken corpses here, but from the parts that were not too broken, he could still distinguish the lizard's tail, the caveman's feet and other messy things. Since there are troglodyte corpses, then it proves that they are not going the wrong way.
Advancing all the way along the passage, Lin Wen finally saw five points of light more than a hundred meters in front of him through his tracking vision.
"Team Four, we're behind you, don't get hurt by mistake." In view of the situation that he almost fought with the eleventh team just now, Lin Wen reminded him with a communicator before making contact.
"Got it, come here." The druids of the four teams spoke with an impatient excitement. Lin Wen was also curious, what kind of scenery could make a calm-based druid so excited? "It's a spectacle that most people can't see!"
The Immortal's footsteps were very fast, and the Immortal ran in a few seconds from a distance of more than a hundred meters, and after passing through the passage, Lin Wen was also instantly shocked by what he saw!
It was a huge cave full of glowing crystals, and in the center of the cave grew a very strange plant, this plant grew from the bottom of the cave to the top of the cave, and the branches radiated to all sides, and many small branches on the branches became root-like structures, holding the first half of the branches firmly in place with the top of the cave, and the second half of the branches hanging straight down. The ends of the drooping branches swelled and deformed, turning into a small cage-like structure, which is firmly anchored to the ground by the roots, and if you look closely, you will find that there are many blood vessels connected to these "small cages" from the ground.
There are still one or two of these small cages, at least hundreds!
"What the hell is this?" Lin Wen recovered from the shock and then asked the druids of Team Four.
"It's ......" the druid swallowed before he uttered the world-famous name.
"The Tree of Life!" (To be continued......)
