Chapter 66: The Blood Vine of the Hunt
Li Chen didn't know how long he had been running in the forest, he never knew that he still had the talent of a long-distance runner, if he was given a horizontal river in front of him, and by the way, he was given a bicycle, it is estimated that he could run a triathlon directly!
The animals in front of him were running for their lives, and he was able to chase after them without falling behind.
What Li Chen didn't understand was that his current situation was based on his spiritual body, and it didn't have much to do with his own physical fitness, if it was really his body here, it was estimated that he would be entangled by the dense blood vines behind him in less than two kilometers.
"Whew~Whew~"
Li Chen gasped heavily, he had successfully left some reptilian animals behind, and now he no longer thought about the blood vines that were chasing after him, he was now happy for every animal that exceeded one kind.
"Good for you, four-legged snake! You run slower! "Li Chen's target now is a four-legged lizard with a pale green body.
The lizard was only the size of his palm, and after being awakened by Li Chen from the fallen leaves, it stood up in Li Chen's surprised gaze, and then seemed to be equipped with a turbine autoclave, "Whoosh!" A gust of wind was brought in Li Chen's sight, and the leaves of the trees where it passed were blown up, and then slowly fell while Li Chen's surprised gaze and big mouth had not yet closed.
If it was just because of its speed, Li Chen wouldn't have been so resentful of it that he would chase after it. The key is that the little dot seemed to have just woken up after running a distance, rubbed his blurred eyes with his front paws, and then opened up after it woke up, and its bright yellow snake pupils looked behind Li Chen.
It seemed to see the nervousness of Li Chen and the animals around him, and proudly clasped its hind paws on the giant tree next to it, and then pulled the corners of its mouth, which was as wide as its head, to make faces at Li Chen and the group of animals.
It didn't make a face, it turned its butt towards the fugitives, and then swayed its pale green tail triumphantly before running forward slowly with its two front paws pinned behind its back.
Li Chen saw the lizard's series of movements, and only 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart. Is this a four-legged snake or a human!? Even if it's the spiritual world, you can't be so!
A four-legged snake is actually grimacing at humans! Moreover, it actually turned its ass towards itself! That's a monkey's mocking move, okay! Could it be that it was a monkey invited to make a joke!? What does it mean to put your hands behind your back at the end!? Is it the uncle who runs fast!?
One man and many beasts ran a marathon in this huge primeval forest in harmony, led by a small and delicate four-legged lizard in front, and running in the last group of blood-red dense thick vines.
Li Chen had heard the terrible screams of backward animals more than once, and those screams were often sharp and short, but they came to an abrupt end in a few seconds, and they were cut off by someone.
Every time he heard this kind of scream, it was the greatest encouragement to Li Chen's desire to survive, making him feel a little tired and continue to run.
Fortunately, due to the riot of these blood vines, the animals that were originally hidden in the forest stopped hunting, and all followed Li Chen to flee in one direction, otherwise if it was night, Li Chen really didn't know when these animals hidden in the woods would swallow him in one bite.
As time passed, Li Chen felt as if he was about to run out of this terrible primeval forest, and he could already clearly see the blue sky through the gaps between the branches above his head, and large birds hovering above the trees.
And judging from the light in the sky now, the sun should be about to set, and if he can't escape from this jungle before the sun sets, then it is very likely that what awaits him is to hit the street.
"Woo~Woo~"
Just as Li Chen was thinking about countermeasures, he faintly heard the shouts of humans coming from front of him, and the sound seemed to be driving something.
Li Chen was pleasantly surprised when he heard this voice and looked in the direction where the sound came from, but due to the obstruction of the tall trees in the forest, he couldn't see anything he was expecting.
"I hope it's not some cannibal primitive tribe!" Li Chen muttered to himself in his heart, he had also found that the animals around him seemed to be a little excited after hearing the shout, as if their way of life was in sight.
Li Chen followed these animals that had obviously increased their speed around the woods, successfully avoiding the blood-colored vines many times to chase and intercept them.
It had been more than twenty minutes since he heard the human shout, and he had heard it many times during that time, but the animals, although they seemed very anxious, did not rush in a straight line in the direction from which the sound came, they all regularly dodged the blockade of the blood-colored vines and moved in the direction from which the sound came.
Now the blood-colored vines were not only behind them, but also began to flow down the high canopy around them. But fortunately, these animals seemed to have expected it, and when they were still some distance away from the vines that had just been killed, they had already led Li Chen to turn in advance.
"Whoa~"
The fallen leaves of the woods were covered with animals and blood-colored vines, and there was a gloomy atmosphere throughout the woods.
Finally, after running in the forest for more than ten minutes, Li Chen finally found that the trees growing in front of him seemed to be getting shorter and shorter, and the fallen leaves in the forest were not as thick as they were at the beginning, and there was already a sense of solidity of land when stepping on it.
Through the trees, which had become somewhat sparse, he could already see a faint white smoke rising less than a kilometer ahead, where someone should be making a fire.
But now, even though Li Chen had seen the artificially created fireworks, he didn't dare to flee in that direction, because in front of them, blood-colored vines had already intertwined into a network and quietly blocked in that direction, as if they had been waiting for them here for a long time.
And what made Li Chen feel even more incredible was that the blood-colored vines that could barely keep up with their speed also seemed to have expected that they would not be able to escape, and they all slowed down their forward speed, and they also began to gather together intentionally or unintentionally.
The plants that were left behind were still gathering and poking into the large net of vines in front of them, it seemed that the two wanted to be combined, and the direction left for Li Chen and the animals was only a small gap on the side, and they could only continue to run in that direction at full speed, without the slightest respite.
It seems that the plant's approach is to treat the people and animals in this forest as their prey, and they are using the most effortless way to consume the physical strength of their prey, and in the end they will harvest a group of nutrients that are completely unable to resist.
This jungle in the spiritual world really can't be recognized according to the common sense of the real world, lizards express their emotions like monkeys, and plants can capture prey as strategically like people, but I don't know what strange things will be encountered here.
