45. Corruption
Because even if you remember the location of the people just now, if after that, they change their position, then the purpose of the tracker is gone. Fortunately, the phone was resistant to falling, and after he turned on the tracking system again, several red dots appeared on the screen again. It was still the original direction, and it didn't change much, but the three people who were already about to leave the stone gate seemed to have deviated further from the exit.
Back in the present, how do we get out of this place?
After putting away the phone one after another, he continued to turn his back to me, and remained silent, hoping that he would not be able to get out until it was dark. Anyway, it was already afternoon at this time, and if I delayed it any longer, I was afraid that a thick fog would rise in a while, and then it would be difficult to move an inch, so there would be no need to worry about how to get out.
I put down my bag and unzipped it to rummage through the tools, and since it was difficult to pull through the rattan net with my bare hands, I had to cut it. Just as I was looking for the hand-cut scissors and preparing to put them into action, I suddenly heard the sound of tapping from the side one after another, and when I turned my eyes, I found that he was knocking on the front with something, and he was still pedaling with his feet when he was finished. This situation looked a little nervous, and I really couldn't help but speak: "Didn't you just say two words, as for being so crazy?" ”
"What are you talking about, come over and help, this stump is hollow, we might be able to go up from here."
It turned out to be a hundred-year-old cedar! It was my mistake that he was silent, not because he was vomiting, but because he found that there was a huge tree stump that surrounded us, with a diameter of about three meters, because the vines covered it, and the stump grew up to the sky, so that we saw the trunks branching out one by one in the treetops, thinking that they were trees.
Similarly, because the vines are so entangled that they cover the bottom of the ground for nearly two meters, so that sunlight cannot shine in, so it loses the nutrients it needs to survive. What's more, the nutrients in its own body were sucked by the wild vines, which gradually hollowed it out, so after digging the surface bark with a knife one after another, it only kicked a few hard, and a hole was broken, and sure enough, it became hollow inside.
dropped a sentence one after another: "You wait here, I'll go first and see." And they went in. After waiting for ten minutes, I saw him come out of it, pick up the backpack he had just put on the ground, and tell me, "Take the bag and follow me." Then he went in again, and judging by the situation, he should really be able to climb up.
But when I also drilled in, I found that the situation was not what I expected, the ancient cedar tree may be hollow, but it is not completely empty, it is only the height of the human waist bent inside, and the potholes are difficult to get off the foot. There is a gap in the top, but if you want to get into it, you may get stuck.
Because when you enter this tree hole, it is pitch black, so the flashlight comes in handy. Just a dazzling kung fu, I turned around to look for him one after another, but he was nowhere to be seen. I'm looking left and right, it's really strange, the space is so big, how could he disappear out of thin air? Suddenly, I heard his voice from somewhere: "Come here, where are the people?" Following the sound, the flashlight shone through, and found that there was a hole that was not too big or too small for people to drill through, and the sound came from there.
Immediately the cat walked over, and before he reached the entrance of the cave, he saw one after another head coming from there, and after meeting my eyes, he complained: "What are you inking?" Follow me. "He knew I had just lost someone.
After I drilled through the hole in the tree for the third time, I suddenly understood something. In this mysterious deep forest, because the lifespan of the trees is long, some hundreds, some even hundreds to thousands of years, so their roots gradually grow together, and then even the bottom of the stump is close together, so not only is the sun not enough to give nutrients, but the soil is almost exhausted.
As a result, these seemingly extremely thick stumps were corrupted.
