Chapter 54: Millennial Carnivorous Plants
We hurried to look over, and a huge vine wrapped around the man's ankle and was pulled into the air. I quickly moved my flashlight to follow the entangled man and saw the creepy scene in the tree.
It was full of corpses, and the whole tree was covered with corpses, most of which were not decomposed at all. At this moment, all the vines around them began to dance, as if to leave us all here. I hurriedly raised my pistol and struck at the vines that were slashing at me. The vines were knocked back with a single shot, and I immediately gained confidence as soon as I saw that it was useful.
This is not like the zongzi we encountered before, which didn't move even a shot. Watching it hit again, I didn't hesitate to pull the trigger, only to hear a crunch "bang". I'll go! There are no bullets.
I scolded in my heart, this Boss Li is very bad, he only has one bullet for me to give me a gun, doesn't this kill me in this situation!
Seeing the vines coming, I closed my eyes and waited to be pumped to death. As a result, a dark shadow flashed, and the vines were knocked away.
"Don't wait to die, let's get out of here."
"Where are we going to get out from! It's—ah! "I felt my ankles tighten, and my body was lifted almost four or five meters high. Half-hanging, it felt like weightlessness for a moment, and I couldn't grasp anything with my hands and feet, and then I stopped on it.
I heard shouting from below, but I couldn't hear anything more. Through the branches and leaves of the vine tree, I saw Wang Ziyue waving at me and making a very strange gesture.
I was wondering in my heart, and then a tracer light erupted from below, and the time was so sudden that I couldn't think or dodge, so I could only hang there in a daze.
The huge bright light blinded my eyes, and there was so much light in front of me that I couldn't see the situation at all, but in fact, the speed of fire of the flare was so fast that it would be impossible for me to dodge. I don't dare to move like this, and now my fate is in God's hands.
The thing flew over my head, and I could smell the mushy smell of burning proteins. Damn! Lao Tzu's hair is broken this time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as my ankles and the vines around me loosened, I suddenly lost any force. The whole person fell, and when he fell down, he subconsciously hugged the waist of a corpse, and a vine couldn't withstand the strength of the two of us, and fell to the ground.
I said in my heart this senior, I didn't mean to, you have spared me a lot, you see how uncomfortable you are sleeping on it, I am saving you.
Wang Ziyue ran to my side, helped me up and asked, "Big brother, are you okay?" "I looked up and saw the torch in Wang Ziyue's hand, and my heart lit up, right fire! I don't believe it's not afraid of fire.
"Everyone, hurry up and light the fire! Burn it to death. "It's not the time to save fuel, the vines are all over the room and we can't get out of here if we don't get it clean. I shouted, and they quickly got the solid fuel in their bags, some poured alcohol on it, and some took torches to protect themselves.
More than an hour passed, and we were sweating profusely to declare victory. I wiped the sweat from my head and said to Wang Ziyue: "When I was up there just now, I didn't know that the turtle sun shot a signal flare at me, you don't know that I was almost punched through." Do you see who it is? ”
As soon as I asked, Wang Ziyue suddenly stopped talking, and said after a long time: "Big brother, it's me." I'm just for you! ”
I glanced at her angrily, and I was also angry: "Pay attention next time, otherwise your big brother will become a turkey next time." ”
We checked the surroundings, basically the vines have become skewers, Boss Zhao sighed at these, saying that it is worth it to see these rare plants, and now it is worth dying.
It turns out that this plant is a plant from ancient times, it should be the same age as the dinosaurs, and the huge bones around us should be the bones of the dinosaurs. The reason why this plant has lived so long is that it has a habit of storing food for leisurely and rationing it when it is in danger.
In order to keep the food alive, it secretes a juice that wraps it up so that it does not rot for thousands of years. Then Boss Zhao began to explain the other characteristics of ancient plants. I was also distracted, thinking of those red-eyed people on a few tables, could it be that before the sacrifice, the surface was coated with this juice so that it would not rot?
If this is the case, then the purpose of this secret door is complicated, it may not only be as simple as sealing the plants, but also the reason why it is convenient to take their sap.
"Xiao Du? What do you want? I came back to my senses suddenly, saw the look in Boss Zhao's eyes, and suddenly felt like I was distracted in class and was picked up by the teacher.
I paused for a moment, coughed lightly, and said what I had just thought. The main reason is that I am afraid that they will be frightened, so I deliberately said that this may be the reason why the dead people we saw when we came here before did not rot for thousands of years.
"Xiao Du, what you said makes a lot of sense, let's move on, Boss Li."
We counted the number of people and equipment, and this time there were nearly ten people missing, and the woman I thought was very kind was gone, and I still felt a little sorry in my heart, good people don't live long!
Every road is different, this is my conclusion, the road I and Liu Guang walked before can be described as full of mechanisms, and almost all of them died before they walked half of the road. I haven't encountered any decent traps on the way now.
With the help of Boss Zhao, several of his subordinates got a few very old porcelain jars. There will be a price of millions, and in my opinion, it is not worth holding water for me. Boss Zhao told me that it is expensive mainly because the pattern above is a pattern of disappearing civilization, and things are rare and expensive, so ......
We passed through an identical lake, but luckily the scar man in this group still adhered to his northern concept: the tomb must be close to the mountains and water, and brought an inflatable boat. I told them to be careful, and they passed safely. The road further down is completely different from what we have walked before, it is a dead end.
"It's all a good path you led, and we walked in vain." Boss Li glared at me and said.
"Boss Li, you have to speak according to the evidence!" I said, "There's no fork in the road at all, how could we be wrong?" Besides, I haven't been here again, even if I know, I should know these inverted buckets under your command first, how can I, a modern three-good young man, know? ”
Although what I said was very unpleasant, it was indeed reasonable. Boss Li didn't have a good seizure when he heard it. So he asked, "Then what do we do now?" ”
I glanced at Wang Ziyue, she understood, the two of us began to look around for an exit, in fact, I wanted to separate everyone to discuss with Wang Ziyue, with my experience it can't be a big deal. "Do you think this might look like there's an exit?" I asked in a whisper, pretending to scratch the ground with my hands, as if to see if there was a mechanism.
"I don't know, I remember that the map under the coffin we looked at before seems to be almost all on the wall, are you sure you want to find it on the ground?" Wang Ziyue covered her mouth and smiled.
I glared at her, then turned to the wall and fumbled. After a long time of fumbling with our hearts, this stone is very slippery, very good, there is no mechanism, at this moment I glanced at a raised stone on it, and felt that something was wrong.
So I patted Wang Ziyue, pointed to the stone, and nodded. The stone was a bit high, I picked up Wang Ziyue and asked her to see what was on it, I believe my instincts were very accurate.
