Chapter 64: The Man-Eating Tree
There were only a dozen whales in this group, but they were crowded together on the bank of the river, and there was no end in sight in the rain. At this time, I saw the trees on the mountain stir, and a large group of strange-shaped creatures rolled down from the mountain. Since there are no gentle beaches on this part of the riverbank, there are steep stone walls, and these things fall directly into the river.
On closer inspection, these things turned out to be those octopus-like plant seedlings, and they were staggering in number, there were thousands of them, and they rolled down the mountain without any damage, even if they scraped their skins.
And the giant creatures in the river came to these tree fetuses, but they boiled all at once, and scrambled to start devouring. However, these tree fetuses are not allowed to be bullied, and a small part of them are eaten, and most of them actually climb onto the back of the whale and are densely crowded. The whale moves clumsily, moves slowly, and has no way to hold the tree fetus on its back.
At this time, a lightning bolt hit a rock that was only a dozen meters away from the heads of the two, causing the fire to splash, the rock shattered, and a stone even rolled to Fu Bin's feet, and at the same time, a loud noise almost shook the two of them and couldn't hear anything, so frightened that Ye Wumeng suddenly pounced on Fu Bin's back.
Nima, the weather is too violent. Fu Bin was also startled, and scolded in his heart, but it was not good to lose his demeanor in front of the little girl, so he could only force his composure. I tried to use the negative energy state excitation, and now this skill has become Fu Bin's favorite, and I found that this ability can change the trajectory of nearby thunder and lightning, avoid the two of them from hitting them directly, and can also cause more lightning, but this skill is too mental and entropy, and it won't last long.
Fu Bin looked at the gravel under his feet, but found that the section of this stone was dark red, this mountain is very likely to be an iron mine of high purity, no wonder it is thunder, but the thunder and lightning here are dense, but I don't know what the reason is. But at this time, he also understood why these tree fetuses had gone into the water, they were either hiding from the thunder and lightning, or they were driven down by fright. But if it's the latter, then there are no more tree fetuses in this jungle.
Fu Bin's heart moved, anyway, it was just a survival simulation, and it was time to take the risk, so he gestured to Ye Wumeng, and then looked at a whale in the river, performed the center of gravity drift method, jumped down, and kicked twice on the stone wall on the river bank on the way, unloaded part of the impact force, and landed firmly on the back of this whale, and at the same time raised his sword to sweep, driving away a dozen or so tree tires on the side, and those who didn't have time to run were directly cut into two sections. The rest of the tree fetuses had to stay away, and several fell into the water, which became a delicacy for the whales.
And the whale under his feet sank suddenly, and immediately floated again. Seeing this, Fu Bin originally wanted to reach out to answer, but found that her body was light and flexible no less than herself, and after landing firmly on the back of the whale, she also lifted a tree fetus, cut it in half with a sword, and then took out a few grape-sized jelly-like particles from it and stuffed them into her mouth.
"It's delicious!" Ye Wumeng said with a mouthful: "Big brother, why don't you eat?" The jelly candy in here looks so appetizing, you see this big fish can eat it, and we can definitely eat it too. ”
Fu Bin also knows that this thing can be eaten, and it is a very good food, it has the effect of refreshing the mind, but it will produce a lot of gas when it is digested, and this is the world of simulators, and it is just a taste to eat, and it has no practical effect at all.
Ye Wumeng is obviously a foodie, eating a few is not hidden, it seems that he has to continue to dig out, Fu Bin hurriedly said: "This is just a virtual thing, just taste it, pay attention to our situation first." ”
Ye Wumeng sighed in disappointment: "Okay, this thing tastes good, but it seems to be easy to eat...... Uh......" he said with a belch, then threw the tree tire away from his hand.
At this time, the feet of the two suddenly became unstable, and the tree fetuses a few meters away began to climb to the side, which was the whale about to turn around and try to lift the things off their backs. The two of them hurriedly ran in the direction of the whale's turn, the whale's body was round, three or four meters in diameter, and the rolling was also very slow, so it was not easy to throw the two of them down. However, when it flipped to the front, its snow-white belly was exposed, and two forelimbs like giant paddles slapped at the two of them.
This was a bit unexpected, because Fu Bin saw that the other whales did not turn over, only the ones under them had to roll, which seemed to be the reason why the weight of the two was obviously larger. Fortunately, the whale's forelimbs are stubby and short, and the range that can be affected is not large, so it is easy to dodge, but in this way, the two can only lean towards the tail and drive down a batch of tree fetuses.
The whale was about to swallow the tree fetus again, swaying left and right for a while, turning over and turning around, and I don't know why it just didn't dive, thinking that it might be that the tree fetus ate too much, and its stomach was bloated, and it couldn't dive.
Fu Bin and Ye Wumeng were busy working on the back of the whale for a while, and finally drove all the tree fetuses that came up to feed the whale, and finally stopped.
At this time, more than 20 minutes have passed, the rain is getting lighter, and the thunder and lightning are much more sparse. The tree fetuses on the backs of the other whales began to climb back to shore, and of course they were swallowed by many more whales in the process. The symbiotic relationship between the two seems to be very interesting, as the whale feeds on the tree fetus, which in turn uses the whale to escape thunderstorms.
I don't know how frequent the thunder and lightning eruptions on this mountain are, this time, nearly a third of the tree fetuses that fall into the river are eaten, if there are every day, the tree fetuses will definitely not be enough to be eaten, and if the interval is too long, the whales will be hungry, but it is not ruled out that they have other food sources.
The whale under him also began to prepare to turn around and leave the riverbank, Fu Bin and Ye Wumeng hurriedly jumped back to the shore, anyway, the probability of the remaining sporadic lightning hitting the two was very small, even if there were, Fu Bin could resist with negative energy excitation.
The cliffs are steep, but there are plenty of vines and vegetation, and it's easy to climb. The tree fetuses seemed to have been killed by the two of them, and when they saw them, they avoided them far away, and as soon as they ran into the woods, they were difficult to find.
On the shore, Fu Bin couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoye, I see that you are agile and have good balance, what did you practice before?" ”
Ye Wumeng heard Fu Bin's praise, and proudly straightened his small chest and said, "People usually dance hip-hop." The big brother is not bad, the movements are quite handsome. ”
Fu Bin used to do morning exercises every day, and of course his movement skills were not too bad. The two chatted casually, but neither was careful not to ask about the cause of the other's death.
The place where the two of them first entered was a bare stone slope, but next to it was a dense forest, and after the rain, it was very slippery, so they always had to hold on to the branches to keep them steady. However, Fu Bin knew that there were so many tree fetuses here, so there must be a lot of man-eating trees, so the danger had just begun.
The trees here are all similar-looking, with smooth bark, thick trunks, pliable branches that hang like willow, and leaves that look like suckers on the legs of an octopus. It looked suspicious, but after Fu Bin tried a few of these big trees, he found that there was no reaction, so he thought that this tree was not a man-eating tree.
But not long after walking, under the same big tree, Ye Wumeng screamed, and the branch she was holding suddenly rolled up, clamped her hand tightly, and pulled it up at the same time. Fu Bin hurriedly raised his sword to try to cut off the branch, but several branches on the side were drawn at the same time, causing Fu Bin to be in a hurry for a while, and then he was also entangled by several branches, and the same roll lifted him into the air.
At this time, the two of them were shocked, and at this time, Fu Bin's hands and feet were tightly tied, and he couldn't swing his sword, so he couldn't save himself at all. The night was even more miserable, he was hung upside down, his head and mouth were strangled, and he could only whine and scream.
At this time, dozens of tree tires suddenly fell from the canopy, and they were about to pounce on Fu Bin and the others along the trunk and branches.
The long needle-like mouthparts on the head of the tree fetus made the scalp numb, and in a hurry, Fu Bin could only open the Mingyi Tianxin and use the negative energy state to excite it again.
Although the thunderstorm has subsided now, the environment here is still easy to guide lightning, and Fu Bin can't accurately control the landing point of lightning, but this tree is also a big thing, as long as it can control the general range, it will definitely be able to hit.
With a snap, a small bolt of lightning struck the canopy of the tree directly, igniting a burst of fire, which frightened the tree fetuses into scattering, and the branches that were wrapped around the two of them were suddenly loosened, and then pumped around, like a struggling beast.
Ye Wumeng was also taken aback, Fu Bin hurriedly jumped to the ground, pulled her up and ran, but his back was still whipped by a crazy branch, and he was heartbroken.
Fu Bin reluctantly ran out of the coverage of this big tree, and the two of them stood on the edge of a few sparse small trees, even if these were man-eating trees, it was not difficult to deal with. The trees didn't chase after them, and apparently they knew that they would not be able to do anything about these two prey without the entanglement of the cannibal tree.
After all, the air was humid, and the lightning only left a scorch mark on the cannibal tree, which did not cause a fire. If Fu Bin had continued to use the negative energy state to excite just now, he would have been able to expand the fire, but now that the fire has been extinguished, there is no way.
"This tree is so hateful!" Night Wumeng angrily cut off a small tree on the side with a sword, only to find that it was just an ordinary tree.
Fu Bin was also shocked, the two of them were almost sucked dry just now, how terrifying it was. In a fit of rage, he turned around and gave the cannibal tree an arrow of order, and with a poof, it actually drilled a hole in the trunk, and a stream of sap spurted out.
When Ye Wumeng saw Fu Bin using this skill, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Big brother, your combat skills are so powerful." I've already redeemed it, but I haven't learned it yet, can you teach me? ”
In principle, the uploaded skills can no longer be taught to others privately, but the people who have redeemed them are different, teaching them is just to improve the success rate of the other party's learning, and at the same time losing their own advantages, so it is not a violation of the rules. Besides, the two of them came in to practice their combat skills, and they couldn't let Ye Wumeng come in vain, so Fu Bin said: "Okay, I'll let you watch it a few more times, remember first, the most important thing for this combat skill is ......"
