Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle,

The sound of the rubbing of the vine rhizome against the soil of the stone wall continues to come into the ears one after another, becoming more and more frequent, making people feel uneasy.

Because of the movement of the vines under her feet, her body swayed, and she subconsciously raised her hand to support the wall to maintain balance, and a boost came from her arm to support her.

"Be careful." Nanhuo let go of his nine-pound arm and continued to walk forward, walking to the front of the line and standing beside Li Mu.

The female warrior was a man of few words, and had rarely spoken since they met.

Matthew reminded in the back, "Try not to touch the wall, especially the broken part, pay attention to the barbs on the vines, and do not use the skin to directly contact the viscous liquid secreted by the vines, this gum is not only highly viscous but also extremely toxic, if the skin is scratched and the wound is infected by venom, it will be"

Needless to say, everyone understands the unfinished words.

I'm afraid my life is not guaranteed.

Just as Matthew opened his mouth, all the vine rhizomes in the entire cave began to stretch and move, and in the blink of an eye, there was a drastic change.

It's like a python that has been resurrected in an instant, and if you look closely, you can notice the dark green liquid flowing like blood in the vines.

"Everyone pay attention to follow Nanhuo, and the safety buckle on the waist must not be loosened."

Nanhuo walked at the front of the team, Li Mu carried the wounded on his back, President Matthew was at the end of the line, and the rest were in pairs.

Weighing nine pounds touched the rope buckled at the waist, all of them are tied with a special anti-loss rope, which is convenient to connect with each other, and the safety buckle is at the waist, if it is really inconvenient, you can open the reversing direction, so as not to tie the knot.

"Don't go too fast."

In the temporary squad communication group channel, there is only Nanhuo's voice at the moment.

Everyone, including those weighing nine pounds, received a document on the 'Safety Manual for the Labyrinth Map of the Underground Tree Cave'.

It records the important information and precautions that all the warriors have gathered about this place during this time.

Weighing nine pounds, I quickly flipped through it, and one of the points that I repeatedly emphasized was that I couldn't fall, I didn't hold on to the wall, and it was important to walk slowly.

"Watch your step."

Hand in hand, there is still a hat of the same style, and the group is like a kindergarten spring outing team led by a teacher.

The vines under your feet move slowly, which makes walking less easy, and the aisles narrow.

Weighing nine pounds, he looked curiously left and right, observing the changes in the surrounding environment, this scene was really magical and magical.

The broken part of the vine curls slightly, and the root-like thing extends upwards in mid-air, as if searching for something and waiting for an opportunity.

"Be careful."

A flash of fire appeared, and the vine that was quietly approaching Team Zhang like a snake was grabbed by Nanhuo with his bare hands, "The roots of the vine will suck flesh and blood, once it is entangled, it is difficult to break free, it is best to attack with fire, never touch it with your bare hands." ”

Just as Nanhuo said this, everyone's eyes brushed towards the weight of nine catties.

Weighing nine pounds, he was stunned when he held a tree vine in his hand.

Matthew smiled, "It's okay to burn it." ”

Weighing nine pounds suddenly, the president thought she would set fire, what should I do, is it too late to sneak away with matches now?

Weighing nine pounds in front of everyone's eyes, it seemed that the pause button had been pressed, but fortunately, Shu Teng's reaction power was faster than her, and she moved in another direction as if she was fleeing extremely quickly at the moment when she hesitated and let go of her hand.

It seems that the deterrent power of the Grim Reaper's finger bone (pseudo) is much more terrifying than that of a fire.

The group walked between the vine rhizomes that were constantly moving, as if moving in a moving spherical maze, requiring careful balance.

"If a black sand spirit appears and attacks the right side of their chest, it's the center of their energy circulation, and once it's cut off, they can't regroup."

Matthew reminds that "this is not absolute, sometimes the energy supply center may also be on the left side, pay attention to the direction of rotation of the sand and stones in their bodies." ”

Heavy Jiujin listened very carefully, this way can only terminate the reorganization of the black sand essence and not really kill them, strictly speaking, the black sand essence is not a living thing in the first place.

The spatial pattern of the underground tree cavities changes with the change of the vine rhizomes, and the labyrinthine arrangement is once again disrupted.

One end of the stone wall, which was originally sealed, opened the hole for one person to pass through due to the movement of the vines, but the other side, which was originally closed by the closed field, gradually closed.

The ground shook slightly, and the phosphorescent ore fell and was caught again, and anyone could be caught in an instant if they were unsuspected.

Being squeezed and entangled by tree roots and vines makes people shudder just thinking about it, let alone witnessing it with your own eyes.

"When we found this underground tree cave maze, there were a total of 125 members of the exploration team, and it is known that there are two of us who are still alive, and the other two are in a state of disconnection."

"Because there is no specific pattern to the changes of the maze, each change of route means exploring a new maze from the beginning, and once you are separated, it is not much more difficult to find someone else than to find a way out."

But "Then why don't you escape from the top of the cave before?" "At least there are no vines and dead roots in that place, and it is out of the maze of tree holes." ”

Matthew chuckled, "Who told you it was outside the labyrinth?" ”

Isn't it?

"Even if it is, but it's a cliff, and we're thousands of meters underground, so you think you can go back the way you came along the collapsed underground river?"

No, of course not.

"Actually, we thought the same thing when we first discovered the cave, climbing to the top to find a way out, or blasting to blast out a tunnel, all kinds of methods have been tried, but it didn't work." Matthew's voice was lowered, "We've found that huge cavern three times, and the third time we saw you, it's a volcanic cavern with lava at the bottom, and every time we try to break the rock wall, no matter which direction or location, the end is that cave. ”

"Instructor, do you mean that the cave actually wraps the entire underground tree cave labyrinth in a ring?" Team Zhang was afraid that others would not understand what he meant, so he specially drew a schematic diagram to show everyone.

In the middle of a huge doughnut-shaped item is written the words 'tree hole maze', Team Zhang is really a soul illustrator, very vivid.

The president took one look at it and added a small round hole to the surface of the doughnut, "That's probably it." ”

"Going up from the crater isn't an exit?"

"If you can get out of the straight road, it's still a maze?"

"No, it's like the end and the beginning of a labyrinth, and you can't get out."

"If you can't find a way out in twelve hours, the path will be disrupted again?"

"Yes."

It's a desperate statement, and it's even more desperate that sometimes you want to go in the opposite direction to the vine and have to go against the grain, and you have to go against the grain, and you can see how tiring it is to run in the supermarket elevator for a long time.

After about half an hour, the movement of the vine rhizomes continued.

Jiujin sniffed, his footsteps suddenly stopped, his gaze moved down, and a round object rolled to her feet.

Skull.

The hair on the gray bones had not yet completely fallen off, and it rolled all the way from the wall to the feet of the nine pounds, and continued to roll in place after being blocked.

The phosphorescent ore in the labyrinth of the tree hole was not enough for lighting, and the white light of the flashlight illuminated the passage back and forth extraordinarily, and the beam of light fell on the wall that had just moved to her eyes, and the corpse was squeezed and entangled between the vines and the rhizomes, and it was difficult to distinguish the original shape.

Some still have a little bit of flesh and blood hanging from them, some only skeletons remain, and some have already become fragments embedded in the cracks of trees and vines that I don't know how many times they have been crushed and reshaped.

There are humans, animals, and some species that are not even recognizable by the dead guides, and they are so completely shattered that they are like garbage dump disposal centers, where the waste is crushed and crushed.

"Oh my God." Ge Sanding, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't hold back his exclamation, and his legs and stomach trembled.

"That's scared?" Matthew's voice came from behind him, "This is just the beginning. ”

Nanhuo added, "Starting from the vines, there is no place to rest and rest, you have to keep moving, pay attention to the direction of movement of these vines at any time, once you stop, you may be swept away by the vines, what is the end, you have already seen it, I don't need to say more." ”

No wonder the president wants them to sleep to replenish their strength.

Two hours passed, three hours passed, and four hours passed

A few people kept in formation, and it was really a non-stop hike.

However, the roots of dead vines do not always move at a uniform speed, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Maintaining concentration while exercising at high intensity is definitely a test of both physical fitness and will.

Ge Sanding scolded quietly from the beginning, but now he is wilting and slumped, and he can't speak if he can.

The so-called guards did not show up, but no one would be glad about this, knowing that danger would definitely arise but not knowing the exact time was even more worrying.

"Death Guide, do you know what this is?"

"Do you know where the way out is?"

Although I know that I can't get the answers I want if I ask ten questions, and if the dead guide can answer half of them, it can be regarded as a lot of mercy and luck, but he weighs nine pounds and still has a lot of fun asking questions in his head.

"Are these roots alive?"

"According to the president, Black Storm is actually an uncontrollable energy impact, right?"

"There is an irreversible conflict between the movement of external energy and the magnetic field and operation law of the earth itself, so where the energy fluctuation is more intense, the greater the friction, the more intense the conflict, and the black storm is generated?"

The Dead Guide finally concluded, "That's not wrong for you to understand it that way. ”

"President, are we going to go on like this?"

It's been a few hours since I walked, when will it be a head like this?

Although the hike of 12 hours is tiring, it is not impossible to persevere, but the problem is that it is a maze, and if you can't find the way, how many times will it take to walk for 12 hours?

Even robots run out of energy at times.

How could there be such a strange place on Earth?

"Before the Starburst, the level of civilization of human beings on Earth was extremely low enough to have an in-depth study of the origin history, how do you know that there will be no such place on Earth? In order to become a qualified trainee Death Reaper Trialist, you need to broaden your horizons. ”

Huh? It turns out that the civilization level of the earth is 'extremely low' in the eyes of the dead guide

Oh yes.

"The Black Storm is expanding, and if it continues, it will definitely have an impact on the revitalization of the surrounding cities."

Team Zhang lowered his voice, "The revival and development of Wuchuan has been suspended for many years, will it affect Jingchu this time?" ”

"I can't be sure for the time being, but it depends on the situation." Matthew paused, "The scope of this Black Storm is likely to be the worst in this decade." ”

"Then this time the expansion of the academy and the popularization of the awakening talent test are all tests of the waters?"

"What do you say?"

Team Zhang and the president kept talking non-stop, and the conversation between the two people weighed nine pounds like a cloud and mountain fog.

It is dangerous to walk like this along the way, there is no actual fatal attack, let's say it is not dangerous, the longest stay during the five-hour hike is not more than one minute, and the long-term mental concentration and tension are definitely a big test of people's physical fitness and willpower.

Weighing nine catties, he chewed the candy in his mouth, if it weren't for the help of the 'cow candy', the weight of nine catties really might not be able to hold on.

He grabbed a handful and handed it to the others, "Taste it." "A person who doesn't weigh nine pounds gave everyone a cow candy.

"Where did you buy the candy?" The moment Matthew put the cow candy in his mouth, he immediately felt a cool energy rush in, and his spirit was much more uplifted.

Weighing nine pounds, he said seriously, "The itinerant vendor near the school, I bought a bag by chance, the boss said that this candy is most suitable for students preparing for the big exam, and I am not afraid of body weakness and hair loss by driving all night every day, in order to be able to review and get a good score in the exam, I bought the stall owner's inventory." ”

I don't know if Matthew believes it or not, but he didn't continue to ask, which made Chongjiujin breathe a sigh of relief.

In stark contrast to the fresh and sweet smell of the candy, there is a strong necromantic smell in the hallway of the tree hole, and the deeper you go, the stronger the smell becomes.

The length of death, the different causes of death, the degree of pain of death, the strength of obsessions, etc., may cause the intensity of the necromancer's breath to be different.

What do you mean by 'not fighting alone'?

This kind of words are chicken soup for the soul for others, at most it is a motivational statement for beating chicken blood at a critical moment, but it is completely different for weighing nine catties.

There is no hypocrisy in the truth, and if you say that you are with you, you are really together.

Obviously, the passage is quite spacious, and there is room for eight adults and a minor to walk in two columns.

But the reality is

Heavy Jiujin glanced at Nanhuo, who was leading the way at the front of the team, and there were three people around her, although she couldn't see it.

"Can you walk a little bit over there?"

"Squeeze what?"

"If you don't look like a soldier at all, stand up and keep in formation."

Occasionally, they could be heard arguing.

Weighing nine pounds, I didn't expect to be able to pick up one or two dead soldiers' necromancers when I walked through different passages without walking for a while, judging from their clothes and equipment, these people were probably the team members who were separated from the president and them before.

Several of them didn't even realize they were dead.
