Chapter 925: Thorny

I have mentioned several times that Li Huaishan has a natural sensitivity to danger.

But recall, when we camped on the mountain bag last night, Li Huaishan didn't remind everyone to be careful, but when he arrived here, he became obviously restless, and when he said the words "everyone pay more attention", I could vaguely feel his lips trembling.

"Two dogs?" I was a little worried, and I couldn't help yelling at Li Huaishan.

Li Huaishan just waved his hand: "I'm fine." ”

As he spoke, he took out the mountain knife from his backpack and helped us open the way in front, I was still a little uneasy, so I glanced at Lao Zuo.

Lao Zuo understood, quickly walked to the front of the team, and took the lead with Li Huaishan.

The person who walked side by side with me at this time was Liang Houzai.

Liang Houzai asked me in a low voice: "Li Huaishan's state is not quite right." ”

I said, "Ergou is born with the ability to predict danger, seeing that he is so nervous, there must be a danger hidden in this area that is difficult for us to deal with, so be careful." ”

Liang Houzai didn't seem very satisfied with my words, he pursed his lips and rolled his eyes.

I know what he means, he just wants to say that the situation was so dangerous last night, Li Huaishan didn't give early warning, but now I said that Li Huaishan can predict the danger, Liang Houzai thinks I'm talking big.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, last night's experience was indeed not dangerous, the wolves did not touch us at all, and the black shadows in the forest only confronted us, and did not cause us substantial harm.

That night, we didn't really have anything to lose, we just trembled with fear.

As I walked, Li Huaishan and Lao Zuo in front of the team suddenly stopped, and I saw Li Huaishan bend down and swing the mountain knife to cut a small piece of thorns beside him.

Beneath the thorn was a cowhide boot sunk into the soil, half buried in the dirt and half exposed, with a large amount of dirt attached to it.

Li Huaishan pulled out the boot and slapped the top of the boot a few times, knocking the dirt off it.

The boots look a little worn, but there are no signs of corrosion, and in addition, the shoe size is large.

If it is not corroded, it means that it has only been in the soil for a few days, and it is worn out because its owner is more frugal, and often wears it to walk, and the shoe size is large, indicating that the boot is Yoda.

The other day, Yoda just walked past here!

Li Huaishan squatted down again, carefully looked at the deep groove left on the ground after the boots were pulled out, and then he carefully glanced at the thorn bushes around him, and after a while, he turned around and shouted at me: "There is something strange in this place. ”

This place is really weird!

The soil under the thorn bushes is dry, and the boots are not hard, so you have to dig a hole in the ground to put the boots in, because the hole is thought to be taken out, and the shape of the hole and the boots will definitely not be particularly compatible, but the groove on the ground clearly shows the shape of the boot toe, and the boots can be put in just right to be tightly buckled with the soil.

It's like this place was originally a quagmire, and after the boots sank into it, the swamp dried up, and the current dry land was formed.

But this can't be said, there is no rain these days, and there is no sun exposure, and the soil will not become a quagmire that cannot be pulled out with a foot in it, and even if it becomes a quagmire, it will not dry up so quickly.

Also, if Yoda had walked this path and left his boots in the soil, then there should have been traces of the thorn bush being chopped where he walked, and even if Yoda did not have a knife, his heavy body could have stepped on the thorn bush to make a path.

But the fact is that before we arrived, all the thorn bushes were intact, with no signs of being cut down or trampled on.

How exactly did Yoda get in?

Just as I was thinking about it, Huang Yuzhong, who was standing in front of me, suddenly turned his head, looked at a large thorn beside him and said, "The sound of the night." ”

This time, too, I heard the faint sound of a glass being repeatedly tapped with chopsticks in a thorn bush not far from us.

Ding-ding

The voice seems to be clear, but sometimes far and sometimes near, sometimes loud and sometimes small, after listening to it for a long time, it makes people's heads a little dizzy and swollen.

Lao Zuo could naturally hear this strange sound, he only spent extreme time thinking, and then shouted at Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai: "Alert! ”

As soon as the words fell, Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang stuck to Lao Zuo's side, one stood on the right side of Lao Zuo with a talisman, the other loaded the sniper rifle, and stood on the left side of Lao Zuo with the end of the gun, while Lao Zuo lifted the green steel sword upside down, staring at the direction of the sound source intently.

They seemed to have formed such a formation subconsciously, and there was no discussion during the period, and they didn't say anything superfluous, everything was natural.

On the other hand, me, Li Huaishan, and Huang Yuzhong, the three of them were still standing in place in a daze, a little cramped feeling that they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

After all, people have been in the industry together for a whole decade, and that kind of tacit understanding is not something we can have.

Some people may ask me, I have reached such a juncture, what kind of cooperation do I still have the heart to think of? It's not that I want to think about it, but when I see the coordination and tacit understanding of the three of them, I can't help but think about these things, really, at this time, the mind is almost uncontrollable.

At that time, I felt that Li Huaishan and Huang Yuzhong's faces were not very good-looking, probably because the three of us did not react at the first time, they felt that they were compared to Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai.

I immediately beckoned to Li Huaishan and Huang Yuzhong to come over.

"Can you tell what's underground?" I asked Huang Yuzhong.

Huang Yuzhong frowned and said, "I can't tell, but in this noise, I can hear a faint sound of scrubbing, and there should be something jumping underground." ”

If Huang Yuzhong didn't say it, I really didn't hear any "scrub sound".

Li Huaishan said on the side: "The source of danger and the source of sound don't seem to be in the same direction. ”

I don't know what others will think when they hear this, but our old family was originally born in a military family, and I have read military books over the years.

That is, as soon as I thought of these four words, I heard a muffled sound of "bang" from Lao Zuo's side, like the sound of something breaking the ground.

I heard it first, and then I saw its shadow.

I saw a sharp brown-black shadow galloping out of the ground, hitting the back of Lao Zuo's neck.

Lao Zuo's mind was not behind him, he didn't react for a while, and he almost got hit, thanks to a ghost eye I saw the scene behind him, and immediately urged the karmic fire over, and the things that came out of the ground were instantly bullied into toner by the karmic fire and scattered all over the ground.

Seriously, I can't beat Lao Zuo, mainly because Lao Zuo is too calculating, your first move hasn't been shown yet, he knows what moves you will make in the next ten moves, and make a coping strategy in advance, but if you talk about reaction speed and speed of shots, Lao Zuo is actually not as good as me.

I'm just talking about my skills, but I didn't talk about cultivation. If you talk about cultivation, there is still a bit of a gap between me and Lao Zuobi.

It wasn't until the karmic fire dissipated that Lao Zuo looked back behind him, and when he saw the charcoal ash in that place, he looked up and asked me, "What is it?" ”

I replied briefly: "Watch your step!" ”

I could see what the thing looked like before it was burned to ashes.

It was a tree root that came out of the ground, the bottom was thick and sharp, the tip of the root shone with a cold light, as sharp as a knife, and on the side of the root, there were rows of small teeth similar to bevel teeth, black, with a metallic shiny, as if it were made of iron.

Now I finally know what happened to the fireboat that Li Huaishan dug out of the ground earlier.

At the root of the lighter, there was a small pit that seemed to have been chiseled out by a small cone, and those pits should have been pressed out by the bevel teeth on the root of the tree.

I guess the root just now also wanted to pierce the back of Lao Zuo's neck first, and when Lao Zuo lost his breath, he would roll Lao Zuo into the ground with roots and branches full of conical teeth.

After the first root was burned to ashes by me, there was a dead silence in the thorn bushes, and even the "ding-ding-ding-" sound that had been echoing all this time disappeared without a trace.

Silence, sometimes with great pressure, everyone present burrowed into their weapons, and the tension quickly spread through the crevices of the thorn bushes.

Not long after, there was a large rustling sound like waves around me, and the thorn bushes, which had been firmly growing in the soil, actually moved at the same time.

They swirled around us like waves driven by an undercurrent, and a path we had carved out before was re-obscured by the moving thorn bushes.

Li Huaishan was worried that the retreat route would be blocked, so he immediately danced his take-off claws to break up the thorns that had gathered back on the Tan Road.

I hurriedly reached out and pulled Li Huaishan's arm: "Keep an eye on your step!" ”

Only then did Li Huaishan retract his thoughts and set his eyes on the soil under his feet.

Gradually, the thorn bushes had completely pressed over and wrapped around my calves and ankles in a very short time, and some of the thorns had sharp tooth blades that could cut through my pants and flesh in an instant, but for us who were often injured, this little injury was not painful or itchy.

The thorns are poisonous, but all of them have already eaten the poison pill, and the miasma and the poisonous juice in the thorns do not pose any threat to them, but all the thorns attached to me have been poisoned by my blood.

It wasn't until the thorns that gathered completely blocked our sight, and when we looked down at our feet, we could only see the red and green colors on the thorns, and finally there was something else around us.

Burst!

As soon as the sound of the roots of the tree breaking through the ground appeared, I immediately bit my left hand and sprinkled a large handful of poisonous blood on the poisonous thorns around me.

As soon as the poison touched my blood, it scattered and fled at a rapid speed, and the roots that had just broken through the ground were revealed in an instant.
