Chapter 152: Crazy Plants
As the mountains in the distance got closer and closer, Qianshan also saw the location of the canyon a little dimly through the rain curtain, but it seemed that it would take hours to walk from here.
It rained heavily, and the originally hard sandy ground began to become a little soft, and Qianshan felt that something was wrong, so the two of them connected them with safety ropes, and began to run forward to save time as much as possible, so as not to make the ground muddy, and it would be difficult to walk.
Qianshan ran ahead, and after running a short distance, he soon noticed some small bulging mounds on the ground around him, as if some plant was about to break through the soil.
At first, he didn't care, until he saw a black flower breaking through the ground, and his steps staggered.
Chu Shanshan ran forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Wait, there's a problem."
Qianshan came to the edge of the black flower, took a closer look, and immediately raised his eyebrows.
This is not an ordinary wildflower, but a kind of plant that starts to grow like crazy when it rains, and as soon as it breaks through the soil, they will start to absorb the water around them like crazy and grow wildly.
As they grow, they transform into vine-like plants and begin to secrete a nerve-paralyzing toxin that spreads around.
Qianshan hurriedly explained these things to Chu Shanshan, she was also startled, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the ground around her, and found that there was also a black flower burrowing out of the ground not far away.
"What to do?!" Chu Shanshan was suddenly a little anxious: "These plants won't be poisonous now, right?" ”
Qianshan shook his head: "In about a few hours, they will grow hundreds or thousands of times larger, and at that time the poisonous gas will be released, let's go quickly, run over early and be fine." ”
took out the camera, took a picture of the surrounding area, and also took a picture of the plant, and then the two of them ran towards the mountain in the distance.
As the saying goes, this lookout mountain runs, runs dead horses, and this is not false at all.
The two of them could already see the mountain in the distance, and even determined the location of the canyon, but they ran out in that direction for more than two hours in one go, and they were stunned that they hadn't even finished half of the way.
Chu Shanshan was already a little out of breath, and the ground began to become soft, and it was very difficult to run.
The most terrifying thing is that at this time, there are still black plants emerging from under the ground in the area where they are, some of them look half a foot long, and the growth rate is really terrifying.
After another hour of running, the rain was still pouring down, and by this time the sandy and gravel ground they were on had become like a grassland, but it was a black grassland!
"Whew-whew-" Chu Shanshan's panting became frequent, obviously already struggling.
"Don't stop, I'll pull you away."
With the safety rope there, Qianshan could continue to move forward with Chu Shanshan in front, and they had to leave this strange area as soon as possible.
As he ran, Chiyama looked around, and then he seemed to see that there didn't seem to be any black plants growing in front of them on their left, so he adjusted his direction and ran that way.
Half an hour later, Chu Shanshan's physical strength was basically exhausted, and now it was almost Qianshan dragging her to run.
"Oops!"
Chu Shanshan suddenly exclaimed, and tripped over a plant that had grown more than a foot long.
Qianshan hurriedly ran over to pull Chu Shanshan up and asked, "How is it?" ”
"It's okay, it's just a feeling, whew-whew-I feel like I'm out of strength, I can't run, whew-" Chu Shanshan gasped.
Qianshan looked at the black plants that had grown like carpets around him, gritted his teeth, and directly threw Chu Shanshan behind his back: "Catch it well, I'll take you away." ”
Chu Shanshan hurriedly hugged her tightly, and looked around, she was also horrified: "These plants are too crazy, do they really release poisonous gas?" ”
"Yes, I can't figure out that the last time I came here was because of this thing, and it became the nourishment of these plants."
Chiyama had no doubts about the knowledge imparted by the shadows.
Running with Chu Shanshan on his back, Qianshan didn't feel too much pressure, but was a little easier than dragging Chu Shanshan forward just now.
Under the operation of the exercises, Qianshan's momentum did not decrease, and his speed was faster, and he quickly stepped on the black plants all over the ground and rushed towards the area where there were no black plants growing in the distance.
Chu Shanshan couldn't help but regret a little lying on Qianshan's back, and was also a little embarrassed, if she didn't come over, maybe Qianshan could be more relaxed here alone, and now taking her with her would be like bringing a drag oil bottle.
Thinking about it, Chu Shanshan whispered, "I'm sorry for holding you back." ”
"Hey, what are you talking about, I still want you to protect the Fa, otherwise it will be so dangerous. Okay, we've been talked, let's run out first. ”
Qianshan grinned, not caring about this at all, and his running speed increased again, carrying Chu Shanshan on his back and running quickly towards the safe area.
In fact, that is the area where there are no black creatures growing, and Ann is not safe, but it is important to avoid these black plants anyway.
Half an hour later, when the plants on the ground had grown to a length of half a meter, Qianshan finally ran out of the plant-covered area with Chu Shanshan on his back, came to the normal sand and gravel ground, and then continued to run towards the hill in the distance.
Since these plants release poison gas, the poison gas will drift away, so the farther away the better.
This run was another hour, and Qianshan also consumed some true qi to hold on, bringing Chu Shanshan all the way to the edge of the hill.
Putting Chu Shanshan down, Qianshan looked back, and in the extreme distance, a black oppressive plant looked quite spectacular, but it was also quite dangerous.
Chu Shanshan was choked on Qianshan's back, and after coming down, she eased up for a while, and then she felt more comfortable.
When she looked back, she was also apprehensive: "It's such a terrible place, no wonder those people have suffered heavy casualties when they expand the map here." ”
"Yes, if it's in the hinterland, and it rains again, once the black plant grows, they basically can't run out, the area is too big, and if they don't run out, they will be surrounded by this plant, and once the poisonous gas is released, they can't escape."
"But these plants are also strange, they all grow close to the ground, and if they are erected, it will be even more troublesome."
Qianshan smiled, "When they grow to a meter long, they will stand up, and at that time, vines will begin to branch out, and that is the complete form of this plant." ”
Chu Shanshan was suddenly dumbfounded.
"Okay, let's find a place to rest, by the way, observe this plant in the distance, and also take pictures of the surroundings, the canyon is not very far from here, but if the poisonous gas spreads for a while, it may spread to the canyon."
"Hmm!" Chu Shanshan nodded.
After a short time, the two of them came to the top of this hill, the hill looks very solid, basically all rocks, there is a relatively flat boulder on the top of the mountain, just enough to rest on it, and the front and back of the mountain can be observed, it is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
It was raining heavily, and there was no way to support the tent here, so the two of them sat on either side of the boulder, one of them observing both directions, and they could not continue until the rain stopped.
After three hours, the black plants in the distance had grown into a complete form, and from the top of the mountain here, the black oppression in the distance was simply boundless, and it seemed that some black mist had begun to envelop the surroundings.
Chu Shanshan was shocked, fortunately she came with Qianshan this time, but if Qianshan was replaced with a square flute, then the two of them would really be finished this time, and they couldn't run out at all, unless they didn't go deeper.
At this moment, Qianshan suddenly felt the boulder shake slightly, so he jumped from the boulder to the top of the mountain, and felt that the whole mountain seemed to be shaking.
Chu Shanshan suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted, "Look over there!" ”
"Huh?" Qianshan jumped on the boulder and came to Chu Shanshan's side to look into the distance.
The sound of rain was not small, but from a distance there was a sound of stamping on the ground, and the earth trembled.
After looking over, I realized that it was a large group of wild beasts running wildly!
"Mom, what are those?!" Chu Shanshan hurriedly got up and took out her binoculars to look over.
Qianshan also took out his binoculars, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "A group of ...... A herd of wild boars? ”
"It really seems to be a group of wild boars, but these wild boars don't seem to be small, why do they look like cows?" Chu Shanshan exclaimed.
The beasts did look like wild boars, and each one had two pairs of tusks rolled up and down, and they were so ugly that they seemed to have rushed to this side from the other side of the distant mountain, and there were so many of them that the earth shook slightly.
"What plants seem to be their target?" After Qianshan saw the whereabouts of these wild boars, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Chu Shanshan observed for a moment and then said, "It seems to be, can they eat these things?" ”
"It's not clear."
Qianshan had just put down the telescope in his hand, and suddenly a sense of danger rose in his heart, as if something was behind him, so he turned to look.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a black shadow pounce on him, and he exclaimed in surprise, and slammed it with a punch.
Bang!
"Whew-w-"
With a miserable howl, this black shadow was blasted upside down by the thousand mountains and flew out.
At this time, Qianshan saw clearly that this was actually a leopard, exactly the same as the leopard he met by the river.
Chu Shanshan was taken aback, and when she looked back, she only saw something flying out and falling down the mountain.
"What?"
"Leopard, I didn't pay attention to my surroundings for a while when I was touched by a leopard, but fortunately I reacted quickly."
Qianshan stepped forward and watched as the leopard fell to a rock a hundred meters below, blood splattered everywhere, and was soon washed away by the heavy rain.
The leopard struggled to get up, but died without taking two steps.
Chu Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief, gave a thumbs up and said, "It's better for you to react quickly, if you were me, you would at least have to be bitten." ”
"I think you should have changed your protective clothing to a high-grade one earlier, so that even if this kind of leopard can't be bitten, it's safer." Qianshan grinned, observed the situation around him, and then picked up the binoculars again to look at the wild boar herd in the distance.
Thousands of bull-like wild boars rushed to the vicinity of the crazy black plant forest, and then opened their bloody mouths and began to gnaw, and the wild boars that followed directly rushed into the plant forest and ate them in large gulps.
Chu Shanshan exclaimed: "It seems that it is really one thing and one thing, these wild boars are not afraid of the poisonous gas of those plants at all, it looks very suitable for their taste." ”
Qianshan nodded, also noticing the changes in these giant wild boars.
As they ate the black plants, they began to appear with blobs the size of black fists, which looked a little weird.
With the arrival of the wild boars, the black plants were devoured as if they had been plagued by locusts, and the appetite of these giant wild boars was not ordinarily large, and the eating speed was even faster.
"Magical food chain, as long as they don't come to our side, it doesn't look like a carnivore, it's a herbivore." Chu Shanshan lost interest after looking at it for a while and put away the binoculars.
"It's amazing indeed, and I hope they don't come to us." The heavy rain didn't stop, and Qianshan didn't plan to move on, this kind of weather was not suitable for continuing to advance, "Let's wait here for the rain to stop, if your head hurts from the rain, put up your tent, and you can support a tent under this boulder." ”
"It's okay, let's stay on it, so as not to be attacked by some wild beast." Chu Shanshan threw out a few beast repellent pills around, and muttered, "I don't know if it's useful, the rain is too heavy, it should be washed away." ”
"I know and throw it." Qianshan gave her a blank look.
"Much." Chu Shanshan chuckled, and then looked up at the sky and was a little depressed: "It is estimated that we will have to wait for a long time, and I don't know when this rain will stop." ”
The rumbling rain didn't stop, and the two of them waited a little helplessly, and finally set up a tent in the middle of the boulder, and Qianshan let Chu Shanshan go in to rest, he had the true qi in his body, and he could withstand it.
After a few hours, the wild boar herd in the distance had eaten away large areas of black plants, and some wild boars were resting on their stomachs when they were full, and they were obviously not eating as fast as the plants, which covered a much larger area.
Fortunately, the wind was not blowing from the black plant area, but from the top of the mountain, so that Qianshan didn't need to worry about the poisonous gas being blown to their position, he only needed to pay attention to the movement around him.
As night fell, Qianshan also sat cross-legged on the edge of the tent, concentrating and calming, while listening to the full sound of rain, while silently absorbing the rich aura of heaven and earth here, for a while the soul became a little ethereal, the surrounding rain seemed to become much quieter, and other sounds were amplified......
