"But...... The man was moving much slower than before, and looked like he was wounded. Tingfeng tilted his ears sideways and continued.

"All on alert, ready to meet the enemy's attack." The judge stood up and shouted to everyone, he was not nervous now, since the enemy was injured and had to come, he must have come to negotiate.

If they want to negotiate, there is room for negotiation, and their bargaining chips are probably to take the military commander and Liuying as hostages, and maybe they can have a showdown with the other side through this negotiation, which shows that our side is intended, and then take what they need, and do not interfere with each other.

Thinking of this, the judge's expression relaxed, and he waited for the other party's arrival for a long time.

The remaining six subordinates of the Bai family took out their respective weapons and surrounded Bailing, Judge, Shulanruo and Bai Ci, don't look at them as just subordinates, but their strength should not be underestimated, they are usually systematically trained by the Bai family's martial artists, and it is more than enough to deal with emergencies.

Bai Ci encountered such a scene for the first time, although he was not panicked, but nervousness was inevitable, he protected Shulan Ruo and Bailing behind him, and carefully told Bailing, "If there is any abnormal situation, take her to run as soon as possible, and find a way to run back to the Bai family." ”

Bai Ling's face was embarrassed, "Young Master Bai, if there is any problem for a while, you should take this girl first, and we will be the back, and you and this girl will be our protectors." ”

The judge looked in the direction pointed by Tingfeng and said calmly, "Young Master Bai, don't worry, there will be no fight later, it's just a negotiation, no need to be nervous." ”

Bai Ci was a little confused, so he asked, "Why?" ”

The judge smiled, didn't explain much, and said directly, "Young Master Bai, don't be impatient, you'll know later." ”

It didn't take long to see an unkempt teenager stumbling towards the camp, and when the man saw the formation of the camp, he quickly stopped, raised his hands above his head, and shouted, "Wait, don't do it, please listen to me explain the situation!" ”

The man really didn't come to life, he raised his hands and walked slowly towards the crowd, saying as he went, "Please don't do it, I have no ill intentions, on the contrary, I am here to help you." ”

Bai Ci looked at the man and found that the man was not very old, he looked a little older than himself, his clothes were tattered, he was carrying an old wooden box, his walking pace was a little unsteady, and his body was covered with various small wounds, and he seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries.

No matter how you look at it, this man doesn't look like a formidable enemy, but rather like a shipwreck.

The judge was also stunned, and then became puzzled, he obviously didn't expect that it would be the person in front of him who could make the military commander and Liuying delay their return? But people can't look good, and the years of wandering have taught him to be cautious, and naturally it is impossible to make conclusions based on appearances alone, with doubts, the judge asked, "Who are you?" You say help us? How can it help? ”

The young man walked a few meters away from everyone and stopped, took a few breaths, patted his chest to relieve his breath, and then said, "This uncle, my name is Shuchen Yu, and I am a doctor. ”

The surname Shu is not common, hearing the name Shuchen Yu, Bai Ci glanced back at Shu Lanruo behind him, and muttered in his heart, it is not so coincidental that it is the relative of this stupid fish, right?

Then the scholar Yu continued, "The situation is a bit urgent, to make a long story short, I am a doctor, I was collecting medicine nearby, I strayed into this forest, but I couldn't find a way out, I have been lost here for several days, and then I saw a bonfire lit in your camp, I wanted to come and see if there was anyone, but I remembered a story about mountain ghosts, I wonder if you have heard of it?" ”

The judge and the others had also heard of the story of this mountain ghost before, so they nodded, "I've heard of it, you go on." ”

"It is said that the mountain ghost is cunning, and will deceive people, and then peel the skin and eat human flesh, I am afraid of meeting the mountain ghost, but I can't stand the hunger." Shuchen Yu touched his stomach, smiled embarrassedly, and continued:

"So I could only come to investigate carefully, but before I arrived at the camp, I saw two fierce gods rushing towards me. I thought it was a mountain ghost to catch me, scared straight run, but we ran to a woods, I was caught by the two uncles, only to find out later that it was a misunderstanding, and then the two uncles were going to take me over, but I didn't expect a mutation, the forest turned out to be a snake locust forest! ”

Hearing this, the judge's face changed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you know the snake locust tree?" ”

Shuchen Yu nodded, a simple smile appeared on his dirty face, and he scratched his head embarrassedly, "I have been collecting medicine in the mountains for many years, and I have encountered that kind of tree, and I almost lost my life at that time, so the image is profound." ”

"What is a snake locust tree?" Bai Ci asked curiously, he hadn't heard the name of this tree, but listening to the tone of the judge and Shuchen Yu, they seemed to know this plant.

"It was a tree that feeds on dead animals, and it grows in the rainforest, and it looks a bit like a locust tree, and it has many roots that move like snakes, and they are very flexible.

Roottendrils will search for nearby animal carcasses and bring them back to the tree, where they will decompose into nutrients for the tree. This is not the most terrifying place, the most terrifying thing is that the branches and leaves of this tree will emit a large amount of paralyzing poisonous gas, which can paralyze passing animals, incapacitate them, and become their nourishment.

In addition, if the tree grows in groups, in order to be able to distribute enough nutrients, they will attract a black bug to parasitize it, which is a blood-sucking insect called the black blood worm, which feeds on animal blood, and their feces become nutrients for the snake locust tree.

When there is a shortage of animals around, the black blood insect will provide nourishment for the snake locust tree, and when the snake locust tree catches the animal, it will let the black blood insect suck the animal blood dry, forming a mutualistic relationship. ”

Bai Ci frowned, glanced at his mouth with disgust, and felt extremely disgusted by the way this plant survived, and then, Bai Ci immediately thought of the situation of the military commander, and hurriedly said, "Then the military commander and the flowing shadow are not very dangerous?" We need to hurry and save people. ”

The judge waved his hand, his expression was still indifferent, and he signaled Bai to say goodbye nervously, "With the physique of the commander and the flowing shadow, it is not easy for those little insects to suck their blood, those two people have rough skin and thick flesh, and they will not die easily." ”

"The point is, why should I trust you?" The judge put away the fan, pointed at the scholar Yu and said, "Although you look embarrassed, you escaped, and my brother was entangled by the tree, which is unreasonable." ”
