Chapter 140: Vine

The exit of the tunnel is located on top of a higher rock face, and the basin below is embedded in a large "lake" of the oval.

Of course, this "lake" is not water, but churning hot magma.

There is a stone bridge over the magma that leads to the middle of the lake, where the giant tree grows.

And this ubiquitous vine......

Shi Ying looked up at the rattan that crossed the sky above.

Their roots are clearly concentrated on the trunk of the giant tree, but the short flat leaves and cyan vine body are very different from the giant tree.

The vines and the giant trees do not look like the same individual, but rather as parasitism or symbiosis.

But in any case, the growth center of the vine is inevitably inseparable from the giant tree in the "middle of the lake".

Based on this arrangement, it is very likely that the lords of this level are perched on top of this giant tree.

Shi Ying fixed his eyes on it, but due to the layering of lush branches and leaves, the situation inside was not real at all.

It seemed that she would only be able to see it until she got closer, and now she had to try to get down the rock wall first.

There are no ramps or stairs around the entrance, so you have to climb down the steep rock wall with your own skills.

If you are not careful, you will end up in pieces.

Shi Ying originally planned to pull a few vines covering the ground as mountaineering ropes, but he didn't know how deep the roots of these vines were, and he couldn't shake them even after pulling hard for a long time.

In desperation, she had to give up this relatively simple plan.

However, fortunately, the surface of this stone wall is pitted and covered with vines, so it is not difficult to climb down with a little caution.

After some comparison and weighing, Shi Ying chose a climbing route with more intensive borrowing points.

In the process of climbing down, she sighed slightly.

A month ago, she was still in her dormitory, and she never imagined that one day she would be exposed to rock climbing, a sport that challenges the limits of human beings, and she can still play it with ease.

Life is really unpredictable and unpredictable......

About a third of the way down, Shi Ying stared at a protruding rock and was about to reach out to climb it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the vine used to borrow power in the other hand suddenly loosened and suddenly broke away from the rock wall.

Both hands lost their strength at the same time, and Shi Yingdang fell.

Even if she had climbed some distance down, the height at this point would still make her die when she touched the ground.

When life and death were in danger, Shi Ying was in a hurry, pulled out the short blade pinned to his belt, and stabbed it into the stone wall with all his might.

With the blessing of spiritual power, the entire blade of the short blade was submerged into the rock wall.

The short blade sunk into the rock made a long cut in the rock wall, and only then did it succeed in stagnation under the action of resistance.

Shi Ying looked down, and the place where she was hanging was less than three meters from the ground at this time.

If her reaction had been a few tenths of a second slower, I'm afraid it would have been cool by then.

Scary.

With a light sigh, Shi Ying regained his form on the rock wall, trying to pull out the short blade.

The blade of the short blade is stuck tightly by the rock, and it cannot be pulled easily.

Anyway, she didn't have to worry about falling into a cripple at a height of more than two meters, so she simply kicked her legs on the stone wall, grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, and fell backwards violently.

With the simultaneous force of his limbs, he successfully pulled out the short blade.

Taking advantage of the tendency to fall backwards, Shi Ying took advantage of the trend to do a neat backflip.

I thought I could land perfectly, but when she landed, the vines under her feet suddenly slid to the side, making her sit directly on the ground.

"Hiss......"

Shi Ying slowly stood up against the rock wall and rubbed his pelvic bones, which were not lightly fallen.

The inertia of the jump has not been stopped, and it really hurts to fall like this.

This vine ......

Suspiciously, she kicked the vines on the ground, which looked like they had been coated with superglue, and they didn't move at all.

This vine is obviously very tightly rooted, why did it suddenly slip away when you stepped on it just now?

It was also on the stone wall before, and when she first pulled it up, she clearly felt that the vine was covering it steadily, but just as she let go of her hand, it suddenly fell off the cliff and almost made her fall to her death.

Was she unlucky, or was it ......

Catching a glimpse of the rattan of different thicknesses on the side, Shi Ying had a faint guess in his heart.

In order to confirm this idea, she couldn't help but raise her right hand holding the knife slightly, and stabbed the rattan on the ground that was the thickness of an adult's thigh.
