Volume 1 Exile Chapter 38 The Hope of Life
"Oops! You, you've disappointed me so much, this is the konjac forest of Yinggou Mountain! Aren't you scared of this? How can you still sleep? Captain Shengdewei couldn't help but sigh when he saw that he couldn't control the situation for a while.
Looking at those cicada guards, they were like they had fallen into magic, and they fell asleep after a while. Even the beetle assault soldiers curled up and fell asleep motionless.
"Ahh Captain Shengde suddenly felt dizzy, his body shook involuntarily, and finally fell to the ground with a "poof" and passed out.
I don't know when, a "rustling" sound woke up Captain Shengdewei. As the voice rang out, he felt something drag him forward, little by little. When he opened his eyes to check, he realized that his body had been firmly entangled in the branches of those black strange trees, and they kept pulling him in the direction of the trunk.
"It's a big deal, it's a man-eating tree in the forest!" The captain of the Shengde guard was taken aback, and he wanted to turn over and sit up, but his body was tightly bound by the branches, and he couldn't move.
Captain Shengde looked around and noticed a black rod electric baton on the ground not far from his body. He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly waved his hand and transferred the black rod electric baton to his right hand pliers.
"Fortunately, my right arm can still move, otherwise I would really be hopeless." Captain Shengde secretly congratulated, and then aimed the black pole and electric baton at the branch that bound him. I heard a "squeak" sound, and the electric current emitted by the black rod electric baton hit the branches, and then burst into a burst of violent sparks.
After the strange branches were attacked by the electricity, they immediately contracted, and quickly evacuated the body of the captain of the Shengde Guard.
Captain Shengde finally got up and rested for a while. He then turned around and surveyed the ground around him, only to find that the cicada flying guards and beetle assaults had disappeared.
"Where have they gone? It's impossible to say it's gone! Captain Shengde looked at the empty field and said to himself.
"Ah......h Captain Shengde was taken aback, he picked up the black pole electric baton and looked up at the place where the sound came from.
Just under the black canopy, you can vaguely see the curved branches hung with cicada flying guards and beetle assaults. Most of them were dying and unable to move, except for a few who were still struggling helplessly, screaming from time to time.
"Are there any people alive up there? If you are alive, shout quickly. Captain Shengde shouted loudly into the air.
"Captain of the Guard, come and save me, I'm still alive." Hearing his shout, a flying guard replied tremblingly.
Shengde raised the black pole and electric baton and fired an electric current at the black branch that bound the guard, and the branch was attacked, and then there was a contraction and shaking, and the flying guard shook off the air. Captain Shengde commanded the rescued flying guards to fire electricity at other targets, and cicadas and beetles continued to fall.
In the end, only a dozen of the rescued Cicada Guards and Beetle Commandos survived, and the rest had been drained of bodily fluids by the branches and died.
"Let's retreat, Captain of the Guard. Stay here, and sooner or later we will be swallowed by this dark forest. The Flying Guards, who were lucky enough to be alive, urgently persuaded the captain of the Shengde Guard, who had already been frightened by the forest.
"Wait a minute!" After the captain of the Shengde guard finished speaking, he suddenly whistled into the air, and a group of flying beasts flew from among the trees.
"Fortunately, there are still flying beasts alive, otherwise everyone would have waited to die!" The captain of the Shengde guard snickered with joy, and then he and the flying guards rolled over and rode onto the flying beast.
"Let's quickly withdraw from this terrifying konjac forest! Come with me! The captain of the Shengde guard shouted, leading a group of defeated generals to retreat towards the outer edge of the forest.
When the captain of the Shengde Guard and the others were far away, a human laborer climbed down from the top of a strange black tree. He jumped to the ground with agility. Then, he glanced at the countless corpses of the cicadas on the ground, sneered, and then rushed towards the depths of the forest.
The laborer turned left and right, running non-stop. He walked for about half an hour before he came to a high ground in the forest. Under the shade of the black trees on the high ground, many simple wooden huts were built, which were the human camps that Major Zhao Mingqian had sent people to build in advance. Perhaps he had foreseen the day when the human laborers in the mines would be forced to flee for their livelihoods. It is in this small camp that they, the fallen humans, will rebuild a new home.
At this moment, the sky was already bright, and the two blue-white suns had risen from both ends of the sky, bringing a ray of light to this dark forest. The wooden shed area built by the human camp is unusually warm under the rays of sunlight. The wooden shed may be simple, but it is a new home for human laborers.
The agile human laborer walked through the heavily guarded gates of the camp and trotted to the door of a wooden shed.
He hurriedly stopped and knocked lightly on the wooden door three times.
"Who's out there?" The voice of Major Zhao Mingqian came from inside the wooden shed.
"It's me, the leader of the reconnaissance team, Shi Dangdang." The human laborer replied loudly from outside the wooden shed.
"Wait a minute." After Major Zhao Mingqian finished speaking, the wooden door opened with a "squeak".
In the wooden shed, Major Zhao Mingqian and Lieutenant Hu Jiguang stayed awake all night, discussing countermeasures around a broken table.
"Major Zhao Mingqian, the enemy just entered the konjac forest, and was anesthetized and attacked by the konjac tree, and has already lost a large number of corpses and fled." Shi Dang was the captain and hurriedly reported to Major Zhao Mingqian.
"Okay, got it. Sit down and take a break! Major Zhao Mingqian pointed to an empty stool next to the table and motioned for Shi Dang to sit down as the captain.
"Captain Shi's information is very important, if those cicada guards really chased into the Konjac Great Forest, it means that our whereabouts have been exposed." Lieutenant Hu Jiguang thought for a while, and then analyzed it to everyone.
"Yes, Lieutenant Hu Jiguang is very reasonable. It is very likely that their position has been detected by them, otherwise, they would not have paid such a big price to enter the Konjac Great Forest. Major Zhao Mingqian nodded and approved.
"It's really strange, we are so hidden, how can they know our whereabouts?" Shi Dangdang asked in confusion as the captain.
"What's so strange about this, did they have an audio translation device in your heads? If you have installed it, it is a trickster for the audio translation equipment. Ke Kexi, the leader of the hard labor team of the Yan people, said solemnly.
"This ...... If that's the case, we're in danger. It wouldn't be very convenient for them to find us based on the source of the audio translation equipment! Major Zhao Mingqian was stunned when he heard the words of the leader of Kekexi.
"Team Leader Kekexi, do you have a good way to eliminate the information source of these translation devices?" Lieutenant Hu Jiguang asked the leader of Kekexi eagerly.
"Yes, six kilometers west of our camp, there is a hot spring called Mingquan. If you go there and drink some water from the Naruzumi Pond, you will be able to clear the source of information from the transliteration equipment. Team leader Kekexi replied mysteriously.
"In that case, I'll let everyone go to Mingquan to drink water in a while to get rid of this deadly source of danger." Major Zhao Mingqian said ecstatically.
"Team Leader Kekexi, why are those cicada people so afraid of the Konjac Great Forest? These tall konjac trees can hurt the cicadas, so why don't they hurt us? Shi Dangdang, the captain, asked the leader of Kekexi in a series of questions.
"It's a long story to bring up this question. It is said that this large forest was not called the Great Konjac Forest before, and the trees growing here are not konjac trees, but the most common red ball trees in the Withered Cicada Star. At this point, the conversation stopped for the time being.
I saw that he pushed his chin upwards with his right hand, and it turned out that his stone chin was actually stuck on its own. After his push just now, his jaw returned to normal.
"I'm sorry, my mouth is stuck. By the way, where did I just go? Can you tell me about it? Team leader Kekexi touched his square brow, thinking about what he had just said. Not only did he have a bad mouth, but his memory became unreliable.
"Team Leader Kekexi, you just talked about the Red Ball Tree." Shi Dangdang was the captain and immediately reminded him.
"Well, yes, it's about the red ball tree. Speaking of the konjac forest of Yinggou Mountain, we can't fail to mention the nemesis of the cicada people, the Xuan Bee people from the Andromeda Galaxy. "The leader of Kekexi unhurriedly told the past and present life of the Konjac Great Forest.
"The Andromeda Galaxy's Mysterious Bee Man? It's the first time I've heard of them, are they really that powerful? Hearing this, Shi Dangdang couldn't help but interrupt the speech of the Kekexi team leader and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, they will come to the galaxy once in eighty years to hunt, and the main object of the safari is the cicadas." Team leader Kekexi said very precisely.
"The cicada star people hunt us humans, and the Xuan Bee people hunt the cicada star people, this is really a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind. Hehe, I really didn't expect that they have today, God really has eyes. Shi Dangdang shouted indignantly.
"It is said that one time, the Dark Bee Man came to the Dead Cicada Planet, and after hunting the Cicada Star Man, he was ready to leave here in a hive spaceship. Unexpectedly, due to their misoperation, the spacecraft fell to Yinggou Mountain and exploded violently. The material left behind by the spaceship infected the area, causing the red ball trees to mutate into konjac trees, and become the current ghost. The team leader of Kekexi explained endlessly.
