Zhao Gui and Long Qi discussed for a long time and couldn't make up their minds, so Zhao Gui asked Qi Lu: "Which one should we take?" ”

Qi Lu pointed to the middle road and said, "Take this road." ”

Long Qi scolded: "Don't be an expert, do you kid want to play any tricks?" ”

Qi Lu shone a flashlight on the ground and said: "You see that other roads are full of potholes, only the ground of this road is very flat, which means that there were people who used to walk around a lot on this road, otherwise what would you do if it was so flat!" ”

Long Qi was stunned, he didn't expect that this seemingly hanging-like Qi Lu would have such clear thinking and meticulous logic. So he no longer refuted Qi Lu's words, and ordered everyone to follow Qi Lu together.

Qi Lu opened his mouth at this time and asked him to take the knife, and Long Qi suddenly became vigilant, thinking that he was going to take the opportunity to escape.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Although this road is the right path, we can't be unguarded, or use a knife to make a mark on the rock wall along the road." If you make a mistake, you can go back the way you came, and you won't get lost. ”

Although Long Qi felt that his words were reasonable, he was also afraid that giving the knife to Qi Lu would be detrimental to him, so he kept an eye on it, and turned around and arranged for a few of his subordinates to take knives as marks.

After walking for less than ten minutes, Qi Lu heard the sound of water droplets above his head, and the ground gradually became wet. At this time, the roar of the unknown animal they began to hear came from the dark place in front of them, and Qi Lu hurriedly shone the flashlight towards the place where the sound came from, trying to see what kind of monster it was.

In fact, Qi Lu didn't use a flashlight, and he could clearly see half of the body of a girl in red coming out of the stone pillar in front of her, her black hair was damp and messy, covering her pale face.

"Help!" Qi Lu didn't see the woman speak, but he heard a strong cry for help coming into his ears.

"There are ghosts!" Someone behind Qi Lu was already screaming, and the crowd began to stir.

Qi Lu also thought that she had encountered a ghost when he saw this inexplicable girl, but he immediately dispelled this idea, because he didn't feel any yin qi in the cave at all, but began to suspect that she was a monster that had transformed into a human form.

"Give me my backpack!" Seeing that Long Qi was still hesitating, Qi Lu said again: "There is a spirit rune drawn by me in the bag, which can be used to eliminate demons and suppress evil spirits. ”

Long Qi no longer hesitated at this moment, he hurriedly threw the bag at the foot of Qi Lu. Qi Lu took out a demon smug from his bag, and as a complex pattern of knots flew out of his hand, the spirit rune also flew straight to the mysterious girl.

As a thick haze spread rapidly, a strange sound sounded faintly in the originally empty cave, and the girl's phantom disappeared with it.

Long Qi asked, "Have you killed the monster?" ”

"I don't know, let's observe first."

As soon as Qi Lu wiped the cold sweat on his face, he saw a more strange scene appearing, the ghost of a girl appeared on the stone pillars on the left and right sides of him, although they all looked similar, but they were fat and thin, obviously not the same person.

"Help, help!" The mournful cries for help came overwhelmingly, and Qi Lu felt his scalp tingle.

Long Qi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know." Qi Lu replied honestly that he had never encountered such a ghost situation.

Long Qi raised his gun and pulled the trigger on one of the girls, and the bullet passed through the girl's body and hit the stone pillar behind it, splashing some broken stones and falling to the ground, but the girl was unharmed.

Zhao Gui opened his triangular eyes again and instructed one of his men to go down to check on the girl closest to him. The man, compelled by the boss's obscenity, walked towards the phantom with trembling legs, but the girl did not move, but looked at him quietly.

The man finally walked up to the girl, he turned back to Zhao Gui happily and said, "Boss, we have been deceived, this is not at all" Before the words were finished, a scream was heard, and the man disappeared as if he had fallen into a stone pillar, and the ghostly girl also disappeared.

"Eaten by a ghost?" Zhao Gui said in a trembling voice.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Long Qi hurriedly said to everyone: "Calm down, calm down!" Don't panic, everyone is gathered for me. Don't move without my orders, I'll kill whoever moves! ”

Everyone hurriedly gathered around, and at this time, everyone was a little panicked, and no one would notice Qi Lu. Qi Lu huddled between them, coldly observing the expressions of the people around him, and secretly began to look for opportunities, preparing to escape while the chaos was in chaos.

"Light a torch for me and put out the flashlight." Long Qi commanded loudly.

It turns out that no matter how many flashlights there are, they can't shine a full picture of the cave. But the torches are different, if you light all the torches, the whole environment in the cave can be seen clearly, and those ghostly girls will have no chance to hide.

Seeing that Long Qi was in danger, Qi Lu remembered the things he had heard about Long Qi before.

It is said that Long Qi likes to sow discord and make it easier for him to reap the benefits of the fisherman. When Qi Lu saw that he had commanded his accomplices just now, he knew that the rumors were true, he was quite scheming and very thoughtful.

When the fire lit up, all the female phantoms disappeared without a trace, leaving only the bare stone pillars, which reflected the cold white light under the light of the torches.

"What the hell is going on? I'll kill you if I don't tell me! Long Qi twisted Qi Lu's collar and asked him.

"You just beat me to death, I don't know." Qi Lu saw that he was just scaring himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go to the stone pillar where these women appeared, and then we can find clues." ”

Long Qi escorted him with a gun and came to the stone pillar with Qi Lu. Qi Lu took the torch from his hand and carefully examined the stone pillar. The surface of the pillar was extremely smooth, but in the place where the girl disappeared just now, there was a protrusion that was nearly one person high, like a stalactite formed by the water dripping on the stone pillar on the top of the cave for many years.

Seeing that Qi Lu and Long Qi were fine, Zhao Gui cleverly arranged for a few of his men to go down to check on the other stone pillars, hoping to find out the secret of the girl's ghost as soon as possible.

Long Qi asked, "Is there any evil in this cave?" ”

Before Qi Lu could reply, he heard another scream. He looked over and saw another man disappearing from the stone pillar he was nearing.

Qi Lu frowned, and suddenly thought of something, he hurriedly turned his head and looked at the stone pillar of the first missing man, and sure enough, he saw something unusual.

On this stone pillar, there is also a strange stone protrusion similar to the one that Qi Lu saw just now. The difference was that the strange rock was shaking slightly, as if something was about to arch out of it.

In a matter of seconds, a stone fell from the protrusion, revealing a small black hole. Qi Lu saw a finger-sized branch of green plants emerge from the hole.

The green branch grew rapidly, growing young leaves, until finally a red flower as bright as blood appeared at the top of the branch.

Zhao Guiqi said: "What the hell is this?" It's also growing too fast! ”

Long Qi pointed to this strange red flower and said to everyone, "Look, it has already borne fruit. ”

Qi Lu looked at this unknown plant coldly, but it was only a minute before it completed the entire process of flowering and fruiting. At the tip of the tender green branch hangs an oval-shaped fruit the size of a pineapple. Most of the people present have traveled from south to north and have experienced a lot of experience, and have seen some strange things, but none of them have ever seen such a strange plant.

Seeing that the fruit was ripe and about to crack, Qi Lu said anxiously: "Give me a bag and a knife!" ”

The others were still thinking about whether they should listen to Qi Lu's words, and Long Qi had already roared: "Hurry up and do what he says!" ”

A horse boy standing beside Qi Lu listened to the boss's words, and quickly handed over a nylon bag and a long-handled hunting knife to Qi Lu, Qi Lu took it and jumped onto the strange rock, cut off the fruit and carefully packed it in the bag, and then jumped down.

"Hurry up and burn it, it's better to pour some gasoline and burn it again."

Long Qi asked, "A fruit also makes you nervous?" ”

Qi Lu watched the bag being burned to ashes before he replied: "This is the Dian Teng Flower, if it is ripe, it will automatically split into hundreds of seeds, burrow into the ground like a worm, and wait for it to take root and sprout again in the next year, I don't want this place to become a fertile field for the Dian Teng Flower in the future." ”

"It's just a plant."

Qi Lu said coldly: "Draw a few people to help me, I will let you see the power of this plant." ”

"You, you, and you" Long Qi arranged for a few people to help Qi Lu.

Qi Lu asked the young men to stop less than a few meters away from the strange rock, and then retreated to the back and said, "You aim at it for me and fire fiercely!" ”

Although those men didn't know Qi Lu's intentions, they saw Long Qi nodding in agreement behind them, so they didn't hesitate to fire at this strange rocky ground.

For a while, the gunshots rang out, and they began to hear the terrifying roar of animals coming out of the strange rock, and as the strange stone was beaten into a hornet's nest by bullets, the roaring also stopped, and red and green liquid flowed out of the hole pierced by the gun.

"After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be a strange scream from this guy." Long Qi sighed.

Qi Lu saw that the man who fired the gun was curiously touching the liquid flowing out with his hand, and hurriedly yelled at him, "Don't touch it!" ”

But Qi Lu was too late to speak, and with the man's scream, everyone saw that the flesh on his finger that was stained with liquid had been corroded by the liquid, revealing his bones.

"Wash the wound with water and bandage it again!"

Seeing that someone was bandaging the wounds of his injured companion, Qi Lu said again: "The liquid green part is the secretion of the vine flower, which is a digestive enzyme and is very corrosive. Captured food can be easily digested, and the liquid sticks to it by humans or animals, and is quickly digested like a metal thrown into aqua regia, becoming its delicious meal. When the vine flower has absorbed the nutrients, it will blossom and bear fruit, and reproduce quickly to the next generation. ”

Long Qi asked, "Don't you tell me that my brother ate the vine flower?" ”

"Yes, the red part of the liquid is his blood."

"Then how do you explain the appearance of the ghost woman, she is not a plant."

"You'll know the answer right away." Qi Lu looked at the strange stone attached to the stone pillar, it was already full of holes, and the green branches on the top had withered, turned into powder and fell to the ground. At the same time, a crack seemed to open in the middle of the strange stone, and there was a strange green light shining inside.
