Chapter 16: Burning the Forest (2)
The computer was poisoned, depressed, and part of the manuscript was lost. I've just reinstalled the system, so let's take a look.
************
Mo Guishan heard everyone's words and clapped his hands again, it seemed that he had been prepared.
Someone in the back handed over a red 'colored' branch, which looked exactly the same as the blood maple in the Blood Maple Forest, and it seemed that it should be its broken branch.
Mo Guishan found a lighter out of nowhere and lit the branches. After a while, the surface of the branch was red, like a red-hot soldering iron.
There was a smell of burnt flesh, and the branch slowly softened, but it didn't burn, and there was very little smoke.
I didn't expect it to be the same as Mogui Mountain Tree said, the blood maple here has a special structure and will not cause a big fire.
Seeing that the expressions on everyone's faces here calmed down, some began to believe Mo Guishan's words and continued to listen to Mo Guishan's speech.
The next thing is much simpler, Mo Guishan found a lot of torches, lit them and distributed them to everyone, it seems that this plan has been planned for a long time, and it seems that the preparation is very sufficient.
According to his instructions, everyone dispersed in blocks, gathered around Blood Feng and prepared to set it on fire, and the person who stood up to ask questions just now was also assigned by Mo Guishan to the farthest side from the city gate.
As for Liu Ye and Feng Ruiyan, Mo Guishan did not assign them, but let the two of them move freely.
It's just that Mo Guishan's expression was very strange, and he secretly stared at Liu Ye from time to time, as if there was something behind him.
As for the five mutants, they were ignored and thrown to the ground. Mo Guishan seemed to have forgotten about them, and only assigned command staff on the side.
But Liu Ye felt a little strange, since it was useless, why did he 'get' the mutants over? It must be known that these five mutants are not lightweight, and it takes a lot of physical strength to carry them over. In this crisis-ridden place, a little physical effort will reduce your survival probability.
With such a question, Liu Ye and Feng Ruiyan walked around in the woods, leisurely and vigilantly guarding their surroundings, and their intuition told them that this time the matter was not so simple.
"Are you all ready?"
After about ten minutes, the sky was completely dark. The flames burned like grimaces, and billowing smoke floated away, condensing into a huge dark cloud over the Blood Maple Forest.
"Whoa!"
Everyone responded in unison, Mo Guishan did have a bit of a skill. In just a moment, the people who had already shown signs of going to control just now were now cleaned up and subdued by him.
"Then let's start as promised!" Mo Guishan ordered.
The people slowly approached the blood maple with torches in hand, but they all stopped at the place where they were about to be lit. There were still expressions of excitement and nervousness on people's faces, but more of them were hesitation and doubt.
Human life is at stake, let alone one's own life. Although Mo Guishan had already said that the sky was "chaotic", but at the juncture, the instinctive protective reaction took the upper hand.
Mo Guishan's face was anxious, if everyone stopped like this, then he would have lost all his efforts. He racked his brains to find an explanation, and at this moment, everyone only needed to come to the 'door' at the last time, and they could do their best.
Suddenly, Mo Guishan's eyes lit up, and he found the last straw that could crush the suspicion in everyone's hearts.
"Everyone, please hurry! The time is approaching, and the Devouring Tree is about to awaken! Mo Guishan pointed to the right side of Liu Ye's position and shouted.
The crowd focused their eyes on it, only to see the torch 'shooting' down, for the man might have been too nervous, and a little flame had sparkled to the trunk of the tree. The surface of the blood maple changed, and it began to tremble slightly, but it was very similar to the scene when the creature first woke up.
"Hurry up and set the blood maple on fire, otherwise when the Devouring Tree wakes up, you will end up with the three people in front of you!" Mo Guishan saw the frightened expression on the man's face, and suddenly shouted.
The wrist of the person holding the torch shook, thinking of the tragic death of the three just now, and suddenly lit the torch in his hand towards the blood maple.
"It's ...... Wrong! Liu Ye looked at it, his eyesight was much better than that of everyone else, and the night was like a beautiful 'woman' transparent gauze to him, without any covering.
"Stop!" Liu Ye hurriedly stopped, but it was too late.
A sizzling voice sounded, and with the man's actions, Mo Guishan made a look, and his men also lit torches towards Blood Feng. The crowd effect was terrifying, and everyone saw that everyone else had already done it, so they suppressed the hesitation in their hearts and lit the torch.
For a while, the sky was filled with gray smoke. Although Blood Maple burns slowly, it is prone to rising smoke.
The smoke of 'Meng' and 'Meng' was mixed with the smoke rising from the torches, covering the entire Blood Maple Forest.
"Haha...... You foolish fellows, you believe everything I say, and now you will taste the bitter fruit of your own brewing! An arrogant and smug voice shouted out from Mo Guishan's mouth, and the voice echoed in the Blood Maple Forest, but he couldn't find his location because it was full of smoke.
"Mo Guishan! You bastard, you dare to lie to us, don't let me catch you, or I'll tear you alive!" A very strong man shouted.
"Find him! Kill him! Similar voices rang out from the woods.
"Ho-ho-ho! You fools, trying to kill me? It's better to think about your own life, do you really think that the biggest crisis in the Blood Maple Forest is the Devouring Tree? You'll know what hell really is! "Mo Guishan's rampant voice continued to reverberate in the woods.
"Now I'm going back to the city to report, I hope you will see me alive, but I'm afraid it's impossible!" Mo Guishan's voice slowly faded away, and it seemed that he was ready to leave the Blood Maple Forest.
"Mo Guishan, it's rude to just leave like this!"
A cold voice sounded, it was Liu Ye. As soon as he finished speaking, a red and white ball of light made a blurred trajectory in the smoke and rushed towards the place where the sound sounded.
A huge explosion sounded, and the impact of the wind spread, 'swinging' the smoke away, and the surrounding scene could be clearly seen for a while.
Liu Ye frowned, he found that the place hit by its frost electric ball was only the death of one of Mo Guishan's subordinates, but Mo Guishan himself was not seen.
"Liu Ye! I have accepted this return gift, and now I invite you to taste the gift I prepared for your "essence"! The arrogant voice came from all directions of the Blood Maple Forest, and Mo Guishan had long expected that the other party would be able to attack from a distance, so he made thorough preparations.
The smoke emitted by the blood maple seemed to have a unique electronic interference function, and the dream dragon could not lock the location of Mo Gui Mountain, so he could only let Mo Gui Mountain retreat with his whole body.
"Damn! In that case, Lao Tzu will not stay in this ghost forest! Get out early for seconds! Liu Ye thought in his heart, holding Feng Ruiyan's little hand, he was about to rush forward.
There are not a few people who have the same idea as Liu Ye, and they rushed out according to their prior feelings.
However, after a long time, Liu Ye found that this small forest was still unable to go out despite his full strength.
Dream Dragon, who has always tried all kinds of things, is also blind at the moment, and he can't report the correct direction.
"What's going on? Does the smoke here also have the effect of 'confusing' people's sense of direction and hallucinating? Liu Ye thought secretly in his heart.
"In that case, the 'hole' state is open!" Liu Ye ordered.
However, this time Liu Ye poked a hornet's nest, and the 'hole' state is to feel the surroundings with more acute senses, so as to get everything that is difficult for ordinary senses to perceive. But now this smoke has paralyzed Liu Ye's senses, and at the same time, some negative feelings are pouring in like a 'tide', making Liu Ye feel dizzy, numb, and weak.
“…… Shut down! Liu Ye hurriedly ordered.
The 'hole' state was closed, and the strange feeling disappeared a lot immediately, but there was still a slight discomfort in the body, and it was still slowly increasing.
"Oops! The smoke here can slowly erode the senses and body, and the longer you stay, the worse it becomes! It must be filtered, partially mimeticized! Liu Ye thought to himself.
A nail similar to a gas mask appeared on Liu Ye's lips, filtering out the smoke inhaled, and the discomfort in his body no longer increased.
And Feng Ruiyan had already been warned by Liu Ye, and used internal breathing to temporarily shield the erosion of the surrounding smoke.
However, the time for internal breathing is limited, and the full screen is supported by one breath of true qi, with Feng Ruiyan's ability, that is, two hours of time. Once time passes, if you haven't found a way to save yourself, you can only sit and wait for death.
It's just that Mo Guishan just laid down such a poisonous fog formation, is it a bit of a fuss, Liu Ye was a little suspicious in his heart, he remembered the three human skins he had seen before.
In the midst of doubt, the screams heard before entering the woods sounded again. This time the screams were no longer frightening, but incessant, and people seemed to be attacked by something terrifying, and let out screams of fear.
At the same time, there seemed to be a movement around Liu Yefeng Ruiyan, and countless buzzing voices were rapidly approaching from all directions.
"Warning! There are a large number of mutated lifeforms that are rapidly approaching...... Unit Strength Soldier Level 5...... The number is three thousand six hundred and forty-two...... The number is increasing at a rate of one hundred per second...... Overall Strength ...... Extremely threatening ''...... It is advisable to take immediate action"
"Day! Three thousand six hundred and forty-two, what measures does Lao Tzu take in such a number! Liu Ye scolded in his heart, and he suddenly thought of the mutant rat swarm used to break Mo Zhi'an's god *** army when he was in Bai 'Lu' City that day.
At that time, there were only two thousand black line rats with one or two soldiers, and they made the mimicry *** suffer. Now nearly 4,000 soldier level 5 creatures suddenly appeared, and the result can be imagined. Liu Ye really didn't expect that once upon a time, he would face this kind of scene one day.
