Chapter Ninety-Eight: Mutant Vines
Shen Yuan and his party cautiously walked through the Ghost Eye Stone Forest. The long and narrow stone forest space is about to go forward, the mottled glowing moss is getting denser, and the white stalactites reflect the faint light, making people a little uncomfortable for a long time.
The lost camouflage uniform disappeared quietly into the depths of the stone forest, never to return. No one said anything about saving people, but a few people gathered more closely. The guide no longer shy away, and the sandworm hidden in his hair poked his head out hideously, and seemed to be a little restless when he looked at the surrounding scenery......
After walking for about twenty minutes, the guide stopped by a large stalactite pillar and seemed to be listening to something...... After a while, he shook his head: "No...... The second half of the road is not easy to walk, but it's a pity that ......"
"What a pity?" Miss An asked.
"It turns out that the one who rules this stone forest is a worm king, a very old worm king. All Guides...... All the sandworms that can parasitize on the body of the Ghost Cave Clan are its children! I've only seen it once...... It was already dead by then...... Now that it has no breath at all, it looks like it's dead...... My sandworm is grieving...... They are mourning their mothers. ”
"Do they have feelings too?" Shen Yuan asked curiously.
"How can all living beings be truly cold-blooded?"
"Don't you hate them? After all, because of them, the body of the guide becomes a parasitic container. Because the toxins in the body have become blind...... It is no longer inseparable from the ghost grass that grows and restrains with sandworms, and it is inseparable from this desert. ”
"Hate is meaningless, instead of hating them, I'd rather hate Durky who evaded responsibility, and hate An Jia who lured Durki to defect!"
When the guards beside Miss An heard this, they immediately looked at the guide vigilantly.
The eldest lady of the An family said naturally: "It's okay, he knows that my brother did this." ”
"Your brother isn't a marionette under your father? You are also your father's child...... Aren't you afraid that I'll take revenge on your father?"
"If you kill me, it will make him sad...... I'd rather let you try ......," Miss An said suddenly.
"Hahahaha...... How many truths can your An family have in their lives? Never mind...... I made an agreement with the second elder, I promised to let her enter the Heavenly Ghost Cave, and she also brought a tribute as promised...... It's a pity...... I don't need it now! ”
"Second Elder's tribute? Is it?" Shen Yuan suddenly reacted! "It's Dragon Ball...... Haha, the Five Immortals Sect has guarded the Dragon Ball for hundreds of years! ”
Shen Yuan suddenly realized......
"But......" the guide continued with a strange expression, "but I still seem to have been fooled by this old fox, and I insisted on saving Dragon Ball's life. I want to take Batu out of the desert and leave his crazy mom myself! But then I found out that even with Dragon Ball, I couldn't get what I wanted, but ...... The guide kept her promise, and if the second elder brought the tribute, I would let her into the Heavenly Ghost Cave! Other...... I don't care! ”
Shen Yuan thought about it, but didn't find that the second elder had anything to fool the guide, the dragon ball was fake? Probably not...... It seems that there are still a lot of hidden secrets that I don't understand.
The sandworms retracted listlessly into the guide's hair, and they were clear...... His mother or father is dead. Died in the long years...... The original insect king left the mother insect queen with countless insect eggs and sat in the Ghost Eye Stone Forest! Now, after being sealed by the Jade Connoisseur Great Array for so many years, the Worm King still hasn't been able to look at his own Worm Queen again. Lonely and dead outside...... Died deep in the cavern above a massive stone pillar.
"The road behind is a bit more dangerous, and there are actually invisible sandworms in the rocks here. They slowly grow together with stones and moss...... It emits an invisible and smelly substance, and the small stone caves on both sides should be parasitic about their roots. They replenish their nutrition by luring outsiders into caves to catch them. Without the Worm King, I'm not sure how many mutated roots of the Sandworms are still alive, and it seems that their deceptive power is still there. I don't know if there are any other troubles! ”
The group walked carefully through the stone forest around the guide, and Shen Yuan noticed that there were still rules for the route chosen by the guide, and it seemed that there were other dangers inside. But the guide did not say, and the men pretended not to know.
"Ahh ......" A scream suddenly came from behind everyone! Everyone hurriedly turned back, only to find a camouflage uniform walking at the back struggling desperately on the ground!
A dark green vine the thickness of a wrist was wrapped around his leg! The two legs of the camouflage uniform are entangled by strange vines, and I can't struggle anymore! At this time, the camouflage uniform was desperately turning upwards, and then took out a sharp saber to cut the vine!
The vines quickly retracted and tried to pull the camouflage uniform towards the side of the cave wall, "Second Young Master! Save me! "Camouflage uniforms are crying for help!
A man in black was just about to rush over, but the eldest lady of the An family glanced at the guide and found that he was slowly retreating! The eldest lady hurriedly grabbed the man in black and shook her head......
The camouflage uniform panicked, and when he saw that the knife cut was ineffective, he suddenly raised the weapon in his hand...... "Bang Bang ......" bullet hit the vine in front of his foot in the flames! The green juice is splashing, but the vines are still tough!
Ava, who was also at the back of the team just now, said in a deep voice while on guard: "Be careful! There's also a vine around! I cut it off a little just now...... It's hard to deal with! ”
When everyone heard this, they looked at Ava, and saw that Ava had taken out a Burmese knife with a small arm length out of nowhere! The blade was jet black without a hint of reflection, and Ava pointed to his feet...... When everyone looked at it, they saw that the end of a dark green vine about half a foot long was squirming extremely slowly at Ava's feet! It's like a dying bug!
"Get out of now! This may be the last two sandworms in the Stone Forest to mutate their roots. Without the control of the Worm King, they are already hungry! Get out of here now! ”
"Bang bang bang...... ......The gunshots and screams of camouflage uniforms quickly disappeared, and everyone hurriedly became fully vigilant, and the guide said while leading everyone forward: "The vines are poisonous, be careful not to touch them!" ”
Everyone cautiously surrounded the guide and walked briskly for a while, and the guide panted and said, "Take a break, the narrowest and most dangerous place in the stone forest is ahead." After going out, there is a three-foot bridge...... After crossing the bridge, there is a square, and at the end of the square, there is the Heavenly Ghost Cave! ”
"What's at stake here?" Miss An asked.
"It turns out that this is the place where the Worm King manipulates the vine roots to attack outsiders, but there is a guide who leads the Worm King to put away the vines! But now the vines have begun to move around the periphery!
I suspect the vines will ambush us in front! I can't control these parasitic stone mutants of the sandworms, Second Elder...... That Ava! Your knife can still hurt vines, and who else has the sharpest weapon?"
Shen Yuan touched the Kun Gong knife in his waist and just wanted to speak, but the knife boy grabbed his shoulder and whispered, "Brother Shen, I'll come!" ”
Shen Yuan hesitated, but Dao Zai didn't intend to back down. After thinking about it, Shen Yuan pulled out the currant knife: "I'm right behind you, be careful!" ”
Ava Knife Boy and the two black-clothed men of the An family, the weapons of Knife Boy and Ava are special existences. And the man in black used a high-tech shock knife produced by An Jia!
However, Shen Yuan didn't expect that the An family only had two such high-tech weapons, and it seems that the value of this thing must be far beyond his imagination!
A man in black looked at the guide: "The substance in the air here will confuse and lure the living, can't gas masks avoid it?" ”
The guide sneered: "Didn't that guy also wear a mask on his face just now?" Is there any effect that can you ask me what to do? ”
Miss An said: "It's useless, this substance must exist in a different state, and it may even be a radiation state...... I'm afraid the sandworm on the guide is the talisman! It's a pity I can't tell the ......."
The man in black's eyes flashed, looking at the guide. The guide pouted and said, "Do you want to get one on me?" No problem...... I'm happy to give you one for each of you! I'm afraid that your eldest lady won't laugh at it......"
The eldest lady smiled: "The poison of the sandworm is a hundred times more terrifying than those vines!" I know that. Now find a way to rush through! After all, our goals are all ahead......"
"Hiss......" Everyone didn't go far, and the stone pillars in front of them became more and more dense. There seemed to be something faintly between the stone pillars, and this slow friction and wriggling.
"I'm ...... Damn! The knife boy who was holding the curium knife in front of him scolded hatefully!
A clump of ...... Or rather, a low wall of vines stretching across the path that everyone must pass! The twisting vines emit a dark green glow, clinging to the ground and wrapping around the base of the stone pillars! Shen Yuan noted...... Many of the vines had died, shattered, and broken!
There are a number of yellowish and blackened vine fragments scattered around the vine wall, and it seems that the survival of these vine mutants is indeed in trouble...... They're dying!
We all know that dying animals are the most terrible! After all, these sandworm mutant vines used to be fierce mutant sandworms! Everyone knows that this kind of thing is definitely not vegetarian...... Just now, these things dragged away a subordinate of An Jia in front of everyone!
"What to do? Is there a chance to rush over? Miss An frowned and asked the guide.
"It's hard...... I feel like I can barely get through, you guys...... You can only rely on brute force. The guide replied...... Shen Yuan noticed a hint of helplessness in the guide looking at him, and Shen Yuan knew that he might really have nothing to do.
Dao Zai turned around and slowly walked to Shen Yuan's side, and looked at the eldest lady of the An family and the guide: "We don't want to take risks!" If you can't guarantee safety on the road, we won't be with you! If you have to let our master do it...... You will find a way to open the way for yourselves, and this is not too much, if you can't find it...... Let's quit now! ”
"You ......" A man in black who settled down just impatiently pointed his weapon at the knife, when he saw the Kun rundium knife in the knife's hand flipped, and a pistol was firmly pointed at the man in black, and then the other hand swiped the other pistol on the back and pointed at the eldest lady of the An family!
The An family immediately pointed their weapons at Daozi and Shen Yuan, and waited for the order of the eldest lady of the An family with their ears open! I couldn't help but complain a little in my heart about the eldest lady's decision to return the weapon to these people outside the stone forest......
