Volume 4 Lingdong Sword Burial Chapter 29 Blood Wax
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a group of demons dancing, and the huge number of tree roots surging in the passage, I was instantly confused.
Yu Qian and Boss Taiyi were also stupid, looking at the writhing branches motionless. It was Zhou Jun, seeing this situation, and shouted madly, "Run!" ”
But even then, it can't outrun the roots that emerge directly from the ground.
I don't know how these roots determine the location of our prey, but we stand there, and we don't do anything, and the roots wriggle towards us, one by one, like snakes.
After Zhou Jun shouted, we began to run towards the entrance of the cave. Originally, it was not far from the entrance of the cave, but I thought that after running to the entrance of the cave, I would quickly swing over, and I would be able to leave the foundation of this mountain first, and I would be safe one step earlier.
But it looks like it's just two or three meters away from the entrance of the cave, a few steps. Yu Qian even aimed the string tiger lock at the opposite bank, ready to shoot the rope.
And at this time, at the entrance of the cave, there was a stirring crack, and several tree roots stretched out at the same time, directly blocking our way.
In the next moment, a large number of branches poured out of the broken crack again, filling the hole in an instant.
"This thing is psychic! I actually know how to close the road! Boss Taiyi exclaimed, with a flashlight in one hand and a shovel in one hand, he stopped in an instant, and then waved it out to resist a branch that pierced his head.
"Cut it out!" I was also taken aback, and my hand movements were waving. In the process of being flanked, if you stop, you will be besieged.
Yu Qian waved her hands to block the roots of the tree that extended behind her, and basically resisted the back road by herself. But a large number of movements, sooner or later, will make her powerless and exhausted.
"Boss Taiyi, let's be together! Attack out! I shouted again, and then swung my sapper shovel towards the exit.
Boss Taiyi and Zhou Jun followed up left and right, resisting the one-sided passage impenetrable. The roots of the tree are cut down in layers of the ground, and the roots of the tree can easily break, but after they are broken, the roots that have lost a piece of the tree continue to press down on us as if they were fine.
This is not the same as the thief in the Tomb of the Night King. When a thief is cut off and touches his feet, it hurts and retreats to avoid it. But this root, it doesn't hurt. Cut off a piece and continue to elongate, endlessly.
"Can anyone tell me why the roots of the tree are moving, and why are they so crazy?" Boss Taiyi cut his arm sore, and he complained bitterly.
I'm also quite wondering, plants, is there such a crazy thing? Is this a plant or an animal? I can't help but be suspicious.
"No! There are more and more, and I can't cut them all. "The amplitude of Zhou Jun's wielding of the sapper shovel is getting smaller and smaller, and the more he uses his strength, the less he uses it. At this time, she screamed as she looked at the surging roots of the trees that blocked the passage.
"I can't do it anymore! Better! Yu Qian was finally in a hurry.
"What should I do?" For a moment, I became anxious. If this continues, within a few minutes, we'll all be swept underground!
Just as I was racking my brains to think of a way, I suddenly heard an exclamation from Boss Taiyi. Then, I saw him stagger forward, almost hitting the wriggling root wall.
On his feet, a small red root system was tightly entwined, which caught him off guard.
Fortunately, Zhou Jun's eyes were quick, and he reached out and chopped off the small roots. And I, with a copy of it, pulled him back.
"His uncle's! It's so insidious! I want to set the hell on fire! Boss Taiyi was annoyed, and swung down with a shovel, ready to cut off the root of the tree that stretched out in front of him.
"A fire? That's right! The five elements are mutually reinforcing, not only can you cut it with a knife, but you can also burn it with fire! We set fire! "Being reminded by Boss Taiyi, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I suddenly remembered this trick.
"Hold on, I've got Molotov cocktails in my bag! Fortunately, Zhao Zhifeng thought about it properly and put this thing on me! As I spoke, I began to rummage through my bag, giving them my back completely.
The three of them immediately turned their backs to me, surrounded me in a triangle, and protected me. And in the bottom compartment of my backpack, I dug out the three incendiary bombs that Zhao Zhifeng had prepared for me.
This incendiary bomb is not a military product, it should be a black market product. It's spherical, smells of gasoline, and presumably a gasoline incendiary bomb or something. Zhao Zhifeng should have seen the gasoline and liquor prepared in my bag, so he thought that I like fireworks, so he prepared this thing for me.
After taking out the incendiary bomb, I pulled the fuse and smashed it directly in the direction of the exit. Then he shouted: "Lie down!" ”
With a "boom", a roaring fire ignited, raging and crackling, and instantly filled the exit, enveloping all the roots of those probes and igniting them.
"Are you stupid? How do we get out? Seeing the crowd blocking the exit passage, Boss Taiyi couldn't help but turn around and yell at me.
I was actually confused, who would have thought that this incendiary bomb would be like this? All I wanted was to blast away the obstacles that blocked the way forward, and I didn't think about the consequences at all.
"Behind! Behind! Yu Qian suddenly shouted again, and at the same time, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a thick tree root stretching from the back of my left head to the front of me, and then rolled back violently, trying to hook my neck!
Shocked and angry, I ripped the second incendiary bomb away, and then suddenly turned around and smashed it out like an enemy.
"Boom" was another loud bang, and the fire rolled up in an instant. The root of the tree that wanted to hook me fell visibly, and it seemed that it could not withstand the flames.
However, it only fell for a moment, and the root system suddenly recoiled again, hooking my waist. I was immediately furious, and I was about to start cutting this root, but at that moment, a huge force struck, and I couldn't help but jerk back, and in an instant I was pulled into the fire.
I was completely caught off guard and my head went blank. It wasn't until the fire hit me that I screamed. But at this time, it was too late, Yu Qian, Boss Taiyi and Zhou Jun in front of me disappeared in an instant, and I was dragged directly behind the flames.
"Huh?" As soon as I arrived, I found that the passage behind the fire was empty, and the dense roots were not there. What burns is just a layer of broken branches.
Even the root that was dragging me through the flames reduced my speed and strength so much that I could even touch the ground with my feet.
I was amazed and delighted, and with a wave of my hand, I slashed at the root of the tree, and with a single knife I broke the thing, and was instantly freed.
So thick, the roots of a tree comparable to my thighs that I could cut them in two. Looking at the half-cut branch, I was shocked.
"Fire? Could it be that fire makes them vulnerable? "I was suddenly startled and thought of a possibility.
"Isn't it, try it and find out!" I looked into the depths of the inky passage, gritted my teeth, and used my brain.
At this time, the roots of the tree did not all retract, in the depths, a few meters away from the fire, there were still a lot of roots encircling there, but they didn't dare to swim over.
I picked up the thick root I had cut with a knife and placed it on the fire behind me, intending to set it on fire. However, the fire suddenly collapsed, and three figures, holding up special tools, pushed angrily over.
"Your sister! Surprise me! "The suddenness scared me so much that I shuddered, and the roots of the trees in my hands fell off.
"Lao Chen! Are you okay? We thought you were pulled back to skin and draw blood! "Boss Taiyi was surprised and delighted, and he shouted in front of me.
"Can I hope I'm better?" I glared at him and couldn't help but scream.
Boss Taiyi smiled, and he could see that he was happy to see that I was safe and sound. Yu Qian and Zhou Jun also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered the tools they were copiing with their hands.
"Huh? Lao Chen, what are you doing? "Boss Taiyi asked suspiciously when he saw me pick up the roots of the tree and put them on the collapsed fire.
"These roots seem to be afraid of fire...... And did you find any? The roots of the tree are very fragile when exposed to fire, and they burn at a moment. As I spoke, the thick roots of the tree in my hands were already ignited, and the ends were bursting with flames, and the crimson fireworks were very dazzling.
"This fire feels like this...... It's so red! Yu Qian glanced at the simple torch in my hand and said suddenly.
I was stunned for a moment, looked up again, and sure enough! I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I really found that just as Yu Qian said, the color of this flame is too red, completely different from the usual flame. And it seems that the temperature is much higher!
"How do I feel like it's burning oil? You see, there is black smoke on the fire! Boss Taiyi also found out something strange at this time and pointed it out.
This made me even more puzzled, a freshly cut tree root burned at a point, and the color of the fire changed, the temperature also changed greatly, and black smoke floated up...... It's like it's burning oil.
"Isn't this water, it's oil? Yikes! It's red, and it's the same blood! Zhou Jun didn't know when or where he picked up a broken branch. At this time, one hand is grasping, and the other hand is touching something at the broken place.
After she finished speaking, she handed the broken root to me, and some droplet-like juice was secreting from the broken place, which was as red as blood, red and translucent, and very bright.
I leaned in and sniffed it, frowned, and quickly straightened my neck away from the thing. This blood-like juice is like blood, full of a strong smell of blood. But you have to get close to smell it, and you can't smell it if you hold it in front of you. This blood seems to be indispensable.
Then, I reached out the index finger of my left hand, touched the juice, peeled off a drop, and rubbed my index finger and thumb together. At this time, I looked at my fingers, a scarlet color, stained with blood. But, in the light of the fire, above the scarlet, a layer shimmered, like a layer of oil attached to it.
"What is this?" Such a peculiar appearance immediately attracted the attention of Yu Qian and Taiyi's boss, and they all surrounded him.
"It feels like wax!" I rubbed my fingers again, and it was a little viscous, but it was very slippery, and the texture was very good, and it felt like wax.
"Wax? Blood wax? Boss Taiyi suddenly exclaimed.
