Before the third uncle's words fell, Ma Jian had already walked over. He walked towards the tall shadow.

Obviously, the attraction of that tree is infinite for Ma Tan. Even if there are many crises around him, they can't stop him.

The third uncle and I are very helpless, blaming the professor for being such a person, you can't blame him, and you don't have the right to judge whether what he did was right or wrong.

Seeing that Ma Jian had already walked over, I quickly followed. The third uncle was helpless, and muttered in the back: "It's not like words, it's unorganized and undisciplined......"

Ma Tan ignored the third uncle, and still walked towards the tree in a daze. As I walked, I suddenly stumbled under my feet.

Ma Tan was looking at the tree with all his attention, and he was caught off guard. I fell all of a sudden, and I didn't get up for a long time.

I was scared. I hurriedly went over to help him. Ma Tan pointed to his feet: "What is it?" Soft. ”

I shone the candle in my hand downward, and in the candlelight, a human thigh appeared in front of me.

"Huh?" Ma Jian and I screamed in fright and went straight back. As a result, something stumbled on the back, and a corpse with a missing leg lay on the ground.

The man was dressed in purple, and I immediately recognized it. It was one of the four people who were here that day to attack the strange man of the ancient tree.

Now the man's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and it was clear that he had been dead for a long time.

"Look around." The third uncle shouted.

We searched around and found three more bodies without much effort. They were all dressed in purple, their bodies were mutilated, and their deaths were extremely miserable.

Judging from the mutilated wounds of the corpse, the stubble was very rough, and it did not look like it had been cut with a sharp weapon, but as if it had been torn off raw.

The last time I left here, the battle was still undecided. Now it's obvious that the monster in the tree has won. These purple-clothed men ended up with a tragic death.

The third uncle squatted down and carefully observed the people.

I went over and asked, "Third Uncle, are you from the Fire Soul Group?" ”

The third uncle nodded: "It shouldn't be wrong." ”

"Fire Soul Group? Are they the members of the Fire Soul Group? Ma Tan asked. Because he had checked the information of the wolf tooth grass, he also knew some legends of the Fire Soul Group. So when he saw the people of the Fire Soul Group, he was very surprised.

I told Ma Yan: "Three of these people ate the stuffy purple you said." I've seen with my own eyes that their combat power has increased by a large chunk. ”

Ma Yan was stunned, took the candle from my hand, and went to one of the corpses to take a closer look. Reached out and ripped off the purple clothes on the corpse. We all saw a fist-sized bloody hole appear in the corpse's heart.

By this time, the blood had dried up, the color of the blood hole was purple, and the edges of the wound were scorched.

Ma Yan's face turned pale, his hands began to tremble, and his lips trembled and said, "Sure enough, it is stuffy purple, it is said that when my teacher died, it was like this." After taking Stuffy Purple, after a period of time, the energy accumulated in the body will explode, and it will burst from the heart, and the person will die. ”

At that moment, a bright color suddenly appeared in the room, emanating from the treetops

。

We all looked up in the direction of the treetops.

To be exact, the bright color came from the ceiling. The entire ceiling is glowing with a pale blue sheen.

Taken together, these blue lights are even brighter than normal lights. It's just that this blue light makes people feel very uncomfortable.

It occurred to me that I had seen the building glow blue last night. Now it's almost certain that this is the light.

"It looks like a firefly mayt."

"Fireflies...... What when? What kind of oddity is this? "What Ma Tan said, I have never heard of, so I asked.

"Cockroach, body length 1~3 cm. The chelicerae are well developed and have several rows of spines at the front end of the chelicera. The cave dwells underground, and the cave is lined with a silk membrane. The vast majority of holes have a trap that can be opened, and the lid is camouflaged. Fireflies, a variant of the firefly, have a flattened abdomen and are good at fluorescence. Unlike normal beetles, fireflies burrow into trees along the roots of trees underground. This species of mites emits light because there is a luminescent medium in its abdomen. But this beetle ......"

Halfway through his speech, Ma Tan thought for a moment and didn't go any further.

I felt that he had discovered something, so I asked: "Old horse, it's time now, even if you are not completely sure, you can say it, right?" Even if it's doubtful, the third uncle and I will help you analyze and analyze. ”

Ma Yan nodded: "Okay." In fact, this kind of firefly beetle was discovered by my teacher Zhong Xianhai. Moreover, the living habits, physical characteristics and cultivation methods of this insect are only mastered by my teacher. Before he could make this public, he died on top of the stuffy purple. But the teacher has been dead for so many years, how can there be fireflies here? ”

Ma Tan looked at the fireflies on the ceiling with a questioning face.

"Old horse, did you admit that you were mistaken, is this really that kind of mantis?"

Ma Jian nodded: "I won't admit my mistake." The teacher showed me the photos and briefly introduced the habits and characteristics of this beetle. This is definitely that kind of bug. ”

At this time, more and more fireflies climbed from that tree to the ceiling. Dense numbers of gnats crawled all over the ceiling, and at the same time, the blue light illuminated the room.

The ants soon hung their silk on the ceiling, and many of them hung on the silk and swung around in the air.

As the room lit up, the candle in my hand burned to the end.

At this time, the tree was also illuminated by the light, revealing its full appearance.

Ma Tan shifted his gaze from the gnats to the tree.

On each oval leaf of that tree, there were blood-red veins, as if blood was flowing in the leaves.

I had seen this strange tree last time, so I asked for Ma Tan to identify it.

Sure enough, Ma Tan looked at the tree, and his eyes straightened.

The third uncle asked on the side, "How is the old horse?" Do you know this tree? ”

Ma Jian nodded: "This is Blood Mulberry." ”

"Bloody mulberry? This tree is called Blood Mulberry? ”

"And so it was. In nature, there are many kinds of organisms that grow together. This is the case with the blood mulberry and the fluorescent beetle, they are the same

Life and coexistence are indispensable. However, this blood mulberry is a biological tree species in Southeast Asia and Yunnan, how can it appear here? ”

Ma Tan said as he moved towards the blood mulberry, wanting to get closer and take a look.

Since we came in, except for the corpses of the purple-clothed people on the ground, there have been no anomalies, which has greatly reduced our defense.

It wasn't until Ma Tan was almost up to the tree that the third uncle and I reacted and hurriedly reminded Ma Tan loudly not to get too close.

But it was too late, and the blood mulberry had already changed. The sound came from behind the tree.
