241. Hidden dangers
Dao Fei dropped a sentence: "Let's take a look at the surroundings first." He was the first to approach the phoenix wood, walking around the perimeter and observing. Gu Xi walked away from the other direction, neither of them assigned me any tasks, and I was left standing there stupidly.
I wanted to sit down and wait for them to come back after they had investigated, but when I looked down, my eyes froze.
Sometimes I really don't like to see my sharp eyes, especially at this moment when I see the fine worm on the ground that can be ignored but difficult for me to ignore, and goosebumps rise from heart to body.
But when I took a step back in horror, I found that I couldn't retreat, and there were all around my feet. Looking wider, I found that it only spread out a certain area from where I was standing, and then extended into the phoenix trees. I immediately avoided it with jumping, and I tried my best to wipe the soles of my shoes on the ground, and I even felt that my ankles were itching and there were bugs crawling up.
So much so that when Gu Xi suddenly spoke up behind him, he was frightened. "What's wrong with you?"
I turned around in shock and blurted out, "That's a lot of bugs." But when I saw him look down, I immediately realized that I might not be able to see it with his eyes, and I didn't think that he just glanced at it and asked me, "Where did you get from?" ”
"Can you see that?" No, he can't see, only I can see. I immediately pointed out the range, and at this time Dao Fei had already come over, and he didn't ask out loud, but walked directly along the path I pointed out to the phoenix wood that stretched deep into the fine worms. When I realized what he was doing, I immediately shouted, "Don't go!" ”
But as if he hadn't heard me shout, he pushed through the bushes and went inside, disappearing.
At that moment, my mind became blank, no matter whether there was a hidden crisis behind this worm, or simply watching the back disappear, my heart suddenly emptied. I unconsciously grabbed Gu Xi's hand, and I didn't even notice the anxiety in my tone: "Gu Xi, he's in!" ”
"I see it." Gu Xi replied to me unhurriedly.
"What then?"
Gu Xi didn't infect my nervousness, and still replied to me calmly: "I'll talk about it when he comes out." ”
I couldn't be as calm as him, and I strode towards the phoenix bush with a sentence of "I'll go in and have a look", forgetting the feeling of stepping on the worm just now. But when I walked to the phoenix tree, before I could reach out to lift the fire branch, there was already movement from inside, and the next moment Dao Fei walked out. He was slightly stunned when he saw my half-stretched hand in the air, but quickly said, "Come here, I'll tell you about the situation inside." ”
The hanging heart fell to the ground slightly, and he immediately looked him up and down and did not notice any heresy. But when I looked closely, my heart began to grow, and if I hadn't noticed a fine worm under my feet just now, I would have felt delusional. Dao Fei's black robe was stained with the kind of gray-black insects that could not be seen with the naked eye!
But he seemed to pass me unconsciously, and soon heard him say behind him, "There are obvious signs of dead wood and grass being crushed inside, and someone has arrived here before us." ”
"Then don't wait, let's go in too." Gu Xi immediately came over.
I grabbed him, "Listen to me first, I just said that there is a worm on the ground, there are many of them, and now ......" I compared to Daofei, "He has all of them." ”
But my hand was pulled into the bushes without saying a word, and the footsteps behind me followed.
Suddenly, I was very annoyed, my opinion was completely ignored by them, but I heard Gu Xi say, "That's not a bug, it's grass powder." "How is that possible? I have seen them squirming. Gu Xi said: "Dead wood and grass can corrupt trees and produce a powdery substance, which will change when exposed to temperature and tide. The temperature and humidity of the air will cause it to spread, so that more dead wood and grass will grow, and this is how this plant reproduces. ”
Not bugs, just powder from dead wood grass? I had never heard of this plant, let alone of such a derivation, but I believed it. No matter when, Gu Xi always has a convincing power, and every judgment he makes is not necessarily correct, but following him and being taken away like this by him, the anxious heart will slowly calm down.
Only then did I have the heart to recall what Dao Fei said just now that someone had stepped into the bushes first, and I didn't know who would have arrived earlier than us. Because of the lush foliage, my eyes are full of fiery red colors, and because of the wrong judgment just now, I also have a certain degree of doubt about my eyes, and I feel that everything I see is shaken by this red. So much so that when Gu Xi suddenly stopped, his eyes were dizzy, and he could barely see two blurred figures through his faint vision.
"What's wrong?" Dao Fei asked in the back.
Gu Xi's voice crossed his eardrums: "Little wish, do you see if there is rotten powder of dead wood and grass around?" ”
I...... I can't see clearly, except for red, it's still red in the field of vision, but there must be something unusual about Gu Xi stopping here, and I need to distinguish it with my eyes. So after rubbing his eyes, he squinted to see, and it seemed that something was moving enchantingly in the red, and he even saw that the thing had a strange head, and slowly opened its mouth towards this side.
"Do you see anything out there opening its mouth towards us?" I asked uncertainly, but I instantly felt that the atmosphere had changed, and before I could react to what was happening, I felt that my hand was pulled by Gu Xi to the side, and he shouted urgently in his ear: "Hurry up, it's the Red Star Man-eating Flower!" ”
I actually didn't have time to react, and as soon as I lifted my waist, I was held by Gu Xi and running, and I ran to his rhythm with both scripts. There was a fishy smell in the air, and the red in front of us was no longer enchanting, but a strange scarlet, and there was a strong feeling that there were many dangers waiting for us to threaten us.
"You go first, I'll come back!"
Dao Fei's voice shook my heart, and my intuition disagreed, but Gu Xi dragged me without pause, and the footsteps behind me suddenly stopped. "Gu Xi ......" As soon as I opened my mouth, he interrupted me: "Shut up!" His voice was so grim and solemn that I was silenced with trepidation. But after running a little further, I couldn't help but say, "We can't leave him behind!" ”
"The Red Star Man-Eating Flower is the most ferocious plant in nature. Once it smells the blood of animals, it wakes up from its slumber and can even eat away at tigers and leopards when the colony erodes. With your strength, you can barely deal with two or three plants, but if you hide in the phoenix wood and don't know the number, it will only be a hidden danger if you stay. ”
I shook my head repeatedly, "No, I'm not a hidden danger. It's hidden in the shadows of the trees, your eyes aren't as sharp as mine, and I can help you identify it quickly. Gu Xi, I'm serious, we can't leave him behind, because he's ......"
Knowing that Gu Xi is cruel and decisive in many decisions, he never drags mud and water. I once admired his extraordinary thinking, but at this moment, if it was right or wrong, not to mention that I couldn't appreciate it, and I couldn't watch it coldly.
But Gu Xi's ruthlessness made me understand again, but I heard that there was no temperature in his voice: "This is not for you." As soon as the words fell, I had been dragged by him for more than ten meters, and I felt something fall out of my pocket, and when I looked down, I found that it was the pipe.
Suddenly, the strings in my head broke, and my mouth resolutely demanded: "No, Gu Xi, I can't go, I have to go back." "I didn't force him to go back with me, but no matter what position I was in, I couldn't face myself who left Dao Fei to flee for my life.
Gu Xi turned a deaf ear, and I pinched the beads in my hand fiercely, and the filaments were wrapped around his wrist in my hand. He didn't let go, but he turned back slowly, and the chill in his eyes was very intimidating. I didn't dare to look at it, and lowered my head and shouted, "Let go of me." Seeing that he did not move, the force of the filament increased, and its sharpness immediately cut his skin, and blood oozed out.
I only heard the cold voice above my head asking: "If I don't let go today, are you going to cut off my wrist with this weapon I gave you?" His heart felt like he had been hit by a punch, and he felt a dull pain, but he didn't raise his eyes and said, "If you want to take it back, please give me back the lancet." ”
Obviously, the hand that was holding me stiffened for a moment, and then tightened so tightly that the force that I couldn't break free loosened, and shook off my hand without the slightest hesitation. In a flash of silver light, the lancet was shoved back into my fingertips, and I heard him say word by word in an extremely sarcastic tone: "Go, I want to see how inadequate you are." ”
His fingertips trembled, and he grasped the knife little by little, and turned and ran without daring to look up at him.
The wind blowing between the trees dissipated the moisture in my eyes, and I should not be weak at this time. I didn't hear footsteps behind me, and I had mixed feelings in my heart. In fact, intellectually I know that Gu Xi's judgment and decision-making are correct, and even if I return, I may not be able to help Dao Fei, and it is even likely to become a burden; But emotions do not allow my feet to move forward, and even if there is no shore to turn back, I cannot retreat. And in fact, no matter who is left behind, I will be so obliged.
But the way back didn't lead to the original path, and I stopped as soon as I realized I was on a fork in the road. In fact, there was no road between the trees, just now Gu Xi took me to run all the way by breaking a branch to open the way in front, so I also followed this trace when I ran back, but this environment is different from before.
Quickly turned around in our minds to calm down, we had followed the traces of others into this bush, but it was because we suddenly found the Red Star Man-eating Flower and had an accident, so we had to choose the road in a panic. Can Gu Xi's keenness, if it is impossible to miss obvious traces on the way to run, is it ...... Could it be that someone has always been around us, reaching the phoenix wood first, and then running out of the other way as we ran for our lives?
Thinking of this, my heart tightened, and there were two paths in front of me: one was to continue to trace the past along this trace and catch this person; The second is to turn back in time to find the right way and find the right way.
After only two seconds of measurement, I chose to turn around and go back the way I came, because it was easy to judge which was more important.
