Chapter 45: The Man-Eating Tree
"Can we get out of here now?" Xiaoyu pursed her mouth, not understanding what hobbies these three people had, and actually chatting with a corpse.
"I can't seem to leave." Meng Chenxuan looked at the distance and spoke.
Just now he shouted to stop, not only because he saw the corpse, but also because the road in front of him was blocked by a tree, and if they continued to move forward, they would hit it sooner or later.
"You've been to Jinzhu, do you know the way to Zhaoyang?" Meng Chenxuan asked Lin Zihan.
Lin Zihan nodded, by mistake, the road they took was just enough to get on the highway from Jinzhu to Zhaoyang, "Isn't it okay to take this road?" ”
"I mean, can we go the other way?" Meng Chenxuan shook his head.
"Why do you want to change it?"
"Aren't you in a hurry to go back to Zhaoyang? This road is the fastest way back to Zhaoyang. Lin Zihan asked Meng Chenxuan, a little unclear about Meng Chenxuan's thoughts.
Meng Chenxuan pointed to the towering ancient tree in the distance and said, "Have you seen that tree?" ”
"See." Lin Zihan nodded, but what does that tree have to do with changing paths? Why did Meng Chenxuan let him look at the trees?
Meng Chenxuan looked at the confusion on Lin Zihan's face, and knew that the other party must be confused now, and explained: "I have also been to Jinzhu before. ”
"I remember that Jinzhu is not such a big tree, this should be after the end of the world, this tree is so big, it will definitely occupy the road."
"That tree is still far from here! Impossible. Lin Zihan waved his hand, the tree was indeed very big, but the tree was still more than 100 or 200 meters away from the road, and it was impossible to occupy the road.
Meng Chenxuan shrugged, "Don't underestimate the roots of trees, if you don't believe it, you can try." ”
"Anyway, I don't think it's possible," Lin Zihan said.
"Then let's try." Meng Chenxuan sneered, don't look at him as a half-buried person now, but his competitive spirit has not completely disappeared.
"Get in the car." Lin Zihan pointed to the car behind him, he was still on Meng Chenxuan's bar today.
"Let's go!" Meng Chenxuan waved his hand and instructed Xiaoyu to follow behind Lin Zihan and Chen Songlin's car.
Meng Chenxuan's car had just left for a long time before they were forced to stop.
A tall and tall tree, like a loyal guard, stood on the left side of the road, the tree was very tall—about fifty or sixty meters, and its intertwined branches looked like mountain peaks under the green leaves.
The brown roots of the giant tree are intricate, and they are lying on the road in a meandering way, the roots of the giant tree do not know how thick they are, but the exposed roots are as tall as Meng Chenxuan.
Meng Chenxuan looked at the tree roots that were on par with him, silently glanced at the three people around him, and took a step back quietly.
In front of this tree root, the height difference between him and the other three is simply not too obvious!
"It's not going to work!" Lin Zihan looked at the tree roots blocking in front of him and sighed helplessly.
"I said it didn't work, and you still don't believe it." Meng Chenxuan found that no one noticed his small movements, an evil smile hung on his face, and he looked at Lin Zihan with a provocative expression, he Meng Chenxuan did not have the word "lose" in his dictionary.
Lin Zihan let out a sigh and glanced at Meng Chenxuan, secretly saying in his heart that he was really naïve.
"Let's go!" Meng Chenxuan glanced at Lin Zihan.
"Wait, this tree seems to be weird!" Chen Songlin said to the three people who were already preparing to get into the car.
"What?" Meng Chenxuan turned around.
"There's something strange about the cocoons on that tree, I just saw one of them move." Chen Songlin pointed to the cocoon hanging on the tree.
Meng Chenxuan looked at Chen Songlin's hand - he didn't see it, but his head was dizzy for a while.
"I have low blood sugar, I get dizzy when I look up, and I can't see what you say." Meng Chenxuan held on to the car door and said weakly to Chen Songlin.
"Okay, then I'll take a closer look, and by the way, see if there is a gap in the roots of this tree that we can drive through." Chen Songlin nodded, looked at the intricate tree roots, took a breath, and said to the three people behind him.
A cold rose from the tail bone, and in just an instant, Meng Chenxuan's clothes were wet with cold sweat.
Meng Chenxuan shouted at Chen Songlin, who was approaching the giant tree: "Danger! ”
"Sasa, Sa, Sa!" The emerald green and fat leaves fell from the sky, and the giant tree that stood on the road like a warrior with a sword in his hand suddenly moved!
"Boom!" An earth-shattering sound echoed in his ears, and a thick branch suddenly smashed like Chen Songlin.
"Lying grass!" Chen Songlin had already noticed it when he heard Meng Chenxuan's reminder, but he didn't expect it to be such a change, and he almost couldn't react.
"Get in the car, get in the car!" Meng Chenxuan looked at the swept branches and shouted at the two people who were already frightened.
"Yes, yes, get in the car!" Hearing Meng Chenxuan's voice, Lin Zihan and Xiaoyu woke up like a dream.
"Bump!" The sound of the car door colliding sounded, and after Xiaoyu got into the car, she pulled the handbrake, turned the key with her hand, stepped on the accelerator with her foot, and suddenly raised her head to prepare to start, and hit Meng Chenxuan's cold eyes.
"Ahh Xiaoyu screamed.
"Did you forget something?" Meng Chenxuan looked at Xiaoyu with a grim face.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm scared stupid!" Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly.
"Car door!" Meng Chenxuan looked at Xiaoyu with a cold face, originally he thought this was a drag oil bottle, he didn't want this to be a pig teammate!
With such a delay, not only did Chen Songlin run back to Lin Zihan's car, but the swept branch was getting closer and closer.
"Ahh Seeing that the tree trunk was about to sweep itself away, Xiaoyu's body shrank back suddenly, her pupils slowly dilated, and her hands fell stiffly on the steering wheel without moving.
"Express!" Meng Chenxuan: "Touch! He closed the car door and shouted at Xiaoyu.
"Wow!" A sharp cry echoed in his ears, and before the tree trunk was about to sweep the car away, the car driven by Meng Chenxuan and Xiaoyu flew away like an arrow off the string.
"Faster!" Meng Chenxuan leaned on the back window, looked at the swept branches and urged Xiaoyu.
They were not slow, but the branches were not only thick but also long, and not only did they not shake off the trunk, but they were getting closer and closer to them, as if they were about to sweep up.
"I've put all the throttle down!" Xiaoyu screamed, she also saw the tree trunk that was about to hit them from the rearview mirror, but she had already driven the car to the maximum, and she couldn't help it!
Meng Chenxuan sat down and said to already Xiaoyu: "If it doesn't work, let's jump out of the car!" ”
"No, we'll die if we jump out of the car!" Xiaoyu shook her head fiercely, Xiaoyu's hair was scattered in the past, and now it was even more disorganized, making Xiaoyu look like a crazy woman who had escaped from a mental hospital.
"If we don't jump, we'll die!" Meng Chenxuan opened the car door, regardless of whether Xiaoyu would listen to his words or not, he rolled out along the car door with his schoolbag in one hand and his head in the other.
"Meng Chenxuan, they haven't caught up yet!" Lin Zihan saw the police car smashed to pieces by the tree trunk from the back window, and his face turned pale.
