Volume 1 The Palace of the Four Elephants Chapter 15 The Living Mural
Victoria and the others have already pulled out, and Lee and I think they are left behind. I didn't refer to me and Li Xiang as us, just to distinguish each other, at least I don't trust Lao Cai.
Seeing that I was washing my ears and nose, Li wanted to come over to help, but I refused. I didn't signal them to follow Victoria, but Li Xiang consciously followed.
First Li Xiang, followed by the rising tide, the rising water wanted to help Lao Cai, but Lao Cai unceremoniously refused. Lao Cai deliberately fell behind, and when he passed me, he deliberately cleared his throat, "Ahh He spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm near me.
This is a naked provocation and humiliation, but I don't care, what I care about is that when Lao Cai passed by me, I saw his facial muscles moving abnormally. That kind of movement is not a twitch of the facial muscles, but more like something swimming under the skin.
It's just that I was angry at the time, and I was hit hard by Victoria, my head was a little dizzy, and my eyes were not very good, so I didn't stop Lao Cai from taking a look, and even if I was willing to find out, Lao Cai was not necessarily willing to cooperate.
In addition, I still have some vicious thoughts, that is, Lao Cai, who has more than enough success and more failures, in case there is really something, wouldn't it be better to get rid of one who is dragging his feet, so I don't bother to care about it at all.
I continued to wash my ears and nose, but Lao Cai in front of me felt a little strange. Lao Cai deliberately spit just now, of course, he had a grudge against me, but when he saw that I didn't react, he began to smack his teeth, snorting, he felt as if there was something in his mouth, between his teeth, as if the shredded flesh had stuffed his teeth. Lao Cai didn't think much about it, so he reached into his mouth and pulled out the shredded meat, but he threw it away without looking at it. But he just didn't remember that he hadn't eaten meat recently, where did the shredded meat come from.
By the time I arrived, the crowd was already blocking the entrance to the forest. Whether it was Victoria's team or Li Xiang, they were all well-informed, but they were still stunned by what they saw.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they turned to me en masse. Alice asked me even more unceremoniously, "What's going on?"
I used to have a crush on Alice because she looked like the type I liked. But her personality and what she did made me very disgusted with her. Originally, Lao Cai was a thorn, she had to needle the tip of the needle to Mai Mang, and Lao Cai fought to the end, which led to a scuffle between the two sides, which caused me to fall into it, and was hit hard by Victoria, and almost lost my life.
So I didn't pay any attention to Alice, and I was about to walk into the forest. However, I couldn't make it and was pulled by Victoria.
Victoria didn't feel sorry or embarrassed for hitting me just now. Instead, he asked, in an unquestioning tone, "What's going on?"
I was also angry, and I didn't say anything about it just after the fight, and asked me what was going on. I said angrily, "How the hell do I know, I've just arrived!"
"Poof, haha! It's hilarious! "My anger was not exchanged for silence or strife, but for Alice's hilarity. She laughed and told a similar joke. Saying that there was a drunkard who drank too much and fell down from the building, and passers-by called the police, and the police came and asked the drunkard what was wrong, and the drunkard said that he didn't know that he had just come.
I've heard this joke too, I heard it at the time, and I laughed for a long time. But now I can't laugh, after all, my head is still groggy.
Alice was already laughing when she finished speaking, and while laughing, she pulled Phoebe, and she was about to slap her thigh. However, she suddenly noticed that everyone was not smiling, and they were all looking at her as if they were crazy. Victoria's eyes were even more murderous, and Alice's laughter came to an abrupt end.
It's funny to be holding back laughter, but everybody's serious, and I'm not funny.
At this moment, I actually feel that Alice is a bit like myself, and it is easy to be led to a certain laugh point by a sentence, and then laugh wildly. Alice held back, but only temporarily, and soon she couldn't hold back and laughed again. It's just that as soon as I laughed, I immediately stopped again, and repeated this several times, and finally stopped completely.
Interrupted by Alice, although the atmosphere was slightly awkward, it lost the smell of gunpowder just now. After such a fuss, my anger has also disappeared a lot, and my reason immediately occupies the high ground again. I was a little scared and worried, worried that Victoria would get mad, afraid that Victoria would get angry and beat me.
In fact, I am a bit indecisive and forward-looking, if I am not forced to a Jedi, I will not burst out at all with the domineering spirit that shocked everyone just now.
This kind of character is obviously not suitable for business, because in business, there are almost endless conspiracies and conspiracy. However, I am a very extreme person, choose a path, even if I am wrong and regret it, I will continue to walk, and I have to go all the way to the dark.
Because of this, I almost often force myself to make choices to move forward. Many people discover their weaknesses when they relieve the awkward atmosphere a little.
Lao Cai's extremely disgusting voice suddenly sounded: "Silly fork!"
This is obviously about Alice, let alone Alice, even if it doesn't say me, I suddenly heard these two words, and my anger couldn't be suppressed.
And Alice is the kind of person who absolutely does not suffer losses and has a hot temper, and a big war is about to start again, and I have a huge headache.
I just put it down, whoever causes trouble again will not be polite, and now someone will immediately challenge my prestige, I really don't know what to do, did it really kill Lao Cai and Alice.
I know it's impossible, the first one, no one will sit still, and the second one is honestly saying cruel things, let me do it, I really don't dare.
So just when I was at a loss and thought it was going to be chaos again, Alice chose to ignore it. Really ignored it, like I didn't hear it.
As for Lao Cai, seeing that Alice didn't react, he knew that he was being ignored, but he was helpless. Of course, there is nothing to do, he can't beat Alice, and it's impossible to rely on Li Xiang. Seeing the distorted expression on Lao Cai's face, I was secretly refreshed, and I was about to secretly scold Lao Cai for a few words.
Lao Cai suddenly shouted and rushed into the forest: "I'm afraid of a bird, people are dead and birds are facing the sky, a group of stupid forks!"
Because he was caught off guard, no one could stop Lao Cai from entering the forest. At that moment, I saw that I was not the only one, and everyone else's faces changed.
It is not for nothing that everyone is like this, everyone is not blind, they can see that there is something in the so-called forest, and it is alive. These living things, attached to the trees throughout the forest.
No one knows what those things are, whether they will be aggressive or not, and what will happen once they are alarmed, no one knows!
Lao Cai's sudden madness caught everyone off guard, and no one had time to stop him. At that moment, I saw the people of the Victoria squad. Almost all of them were exposed, in fact, not only them, at that moment, I also had the heart to kill Lao Cai.
But this has come to this, and there is no way to change it. In addition to the initial distraction, the next Victoria and the others immediately showed amazing professionalism, they not only retreated into the depths of the cave en masse, but even took out grenades, ready to blast again.
And Li Xiang and Shui Sheng had already chased out and knocked down Lao Cai. Lao Cai still shouted: "Haha! Scared? Fools, die together, and none of you want to run! ”
Lao Cai's actions really alarmed the creatures in the forest. The green and shining bark that had been attached to the trees suddenly began to peel off.
But the peeling bark did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air. The bark was in the air, humming like a swarm of bees.
But there are too many things in this group, dense, you don't need to look at it, just listening to the sound of flapping wings makes people's scalps tingle and frightened.
I subconsciously held my head, so many unknown things, I couldn't hide if I wanted to, so I chose to squat on the ground, holding my head, waiting for the judgment of fate.
Fate does judge, and it acquits us. None of the dangers we feared had happened. The flying and glowing insects didn't attack us in groups, they were just frightened into gathering in the air and buzzing.
Seeing that there was no danger, I had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, but there was no joy, on the contrary, anger. Unusual rage! I got up and prepared to go to old Cai Xingshi to ask for guilt.
But what I never expected was that I had already been questioned by someone else. As soon as I looked up, I saw five pairs of long legs, surrounding me, except for Alice gloating, and looking at me a little defiantly, everyone else had a cold face.
I was hairy and a little weak-hearted, and at this time Victoria had a cold face and said coldly: "If a similar situation occurs again, I will kill him, and whoever stops him will die!"
Victoria's tone was resolute and unquestionable, and although I was at a loss, even though there was no one else here, I still felt that my face was burning and humiliating. Therefore, I was embarrassed and angry, and I pushed everyone away, and without saying a word, I rushed to Lao Cai.
Li Xiang and Shui Sheng suppressed Lao Cai just now, and now there is no danger, and they are also up. Seeing that I was menacing, Shui Rising immediately became vigilant and ready to fight me.
But Li wanted to signal the tide to stop moving, and he came at me. I saw that Li Xiang still wanted to defend Lao Cai, so without saying a word, I pushed Li Xiang away and said angrily: "Now I'm going to teach him a lesson!"
Li Xiang immediately rushed over, blocked me, and whispered to me: "Give him another chance, if he commits it again, I will solve him myself!"
I looked into Li Xiang's eyes, there were pleading, reluctant, helpless, and struggling, but more of a determination. I know that if I have to teach Lao Cai a lesson this time, Li Xiang will definitely not stand idly by, and he will definitely fight with me to the end.
It can be seen that Li Xiang is a person who attaches great importance to righteousness. So I softened, I admired Li Xiang, and I was a little selfish.
Now that Victoria and I are no longer dealing with them, if we get into trouble with Li Xiang and them again, then we will inevitably split into three shares. Not to mention whether I can go out or not, just to say that once there is a conflict, I will suffer very badly. I have to have a united front, or my own people, so I can't fall out with Li Xiang and them.
So I said to Lao Cai, who was still there scolding the heavens and scolding the earth, and wanted to spend his days and days: "Don't make your brother sad!"
Lao Cai was shocked when he heard my words, but soon behaved like an adolescent rebellious teenager, raising his head and scolding his mother indifferently.
I didn't bother to pay attention to them, but looked around. Victoria and the others had already broken up and started scouting. I only heard Serena say: "Captain, this is a luminescent creature similar to a firefly, but it is impossible to determine what it is, whether it is an insect or something, but it is certain that there is no such thing among the currently known creatures."
Phoebe continued, "It's not a tree, it just looks like a tree, like a stone or a mineral."
I was actually looking around, so I took out my flashlight and started to look closely at what I thought was a tree, something like a forest. The flame of the burning rod was not clear, and in the light of the flashlight, I saw that the trees were indeed not real trees, but stones or some kind of mineral, which had been mistaken for trees simply because they looked like trees.
I also noticed that these "trees" have extremely fine pores, and these holes are so small that the holes are even smaller than the eye of a needle, and they cannot even be seen without careful observation.
My brow furrowed, a possibility that would naturally arise in my mind, but I couldn't be sure, and I was thinking about what to do.
Suddenly, a head came over, with a faint fragrance. I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned my head, and found that Alice was Alice's head, and it was very close to me, and when I turned my head, I could almost kiss her on the cheek.
However, she didn't seem to notice, or didn't care at all, still staring at the hole in the "tree", and suggested, "Cut a piece and take a look!"
I silently straightened my head, but my brow furrowed again. I'm frowning not because I'm confused by these so-called trees, nor because I hate Alice. It's because of the smell of her, which I seem to know.
But to ask this now, it is clearly out of place, I pulled the dagger from my leg and cut it on the "tree". The texture of this substance is not like the weathered rocks of the Gobi, and everything will be shattered. nor as hard as stone. It's a feeling of moderate hardness and softness, and it doesn't take much effort to cut in. When I cut it out, I found that there was light in it, the same light as the unknown creatures flying in the sky.
If my guess is correct, the reason why those things glow is because they have eaten this substance, and the dense holes on them must have been made by those creatures.
Just as I was about to tell everyone what I had discovered, Luna exclaimed, "Look, they form shapes!"
