I don't know how long it has been, but none of the three people have moved again.

Gao Gao's hand was dead on the steel gun, as if he had snapped his fingers into the butt.

At last he was still fat, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked in a very small, weak, almost inaudible voice, "Is it gone?" ”

It's so simple, but it works.

It wasn't until Gao Chao and Xia Qing heard this sentence that their nerves, which had been tense, suddenly relaxed.

Cold sweat began to soak their clothes, beads of sweat from their foreheads cut across their faces, and only then did they show all the signs of fear for normal humans.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Gao Chao dared to turn on the flashlight tremblingly.

There was a mess around, and the ground was covered with that kind of thick leaves, and the feeling of those leaves to the touch was like the palm of a human hand, giving people a very strange feeling.

Although the appearance of this whole tree is no different from that of a tree, the texture of this tree's body is similar to that of a human being.

For the sake of safety, they only turned on a flashlight, and then cautiously, not daring to make any sound, walked towards the ground where there was a muffled noise just now.

They wanted to see what had just happened there, and it was precisely because of the sudden muffled noise that the three of them were saved.

The light, which could not be dimmed any longer, shrouded the small patch of ground in front of them.

The ground was messy, and a puddle of viscous liquid from nowhere stuck a seemingly thick film to the ground, emitting bursts of fishy smell.

The fat man pinched his nose with one hand, pulled out the dagger at his waist with the other, and touched the thick film with the tip of the knife. only to find that the moment the tip of the knife touched its surface, the film suddenly twitched, like a timid child, and quickly shrunk into a ball.

The fat man was startled when he saw this, stood up and took a few steps back.

"Lao Gao, have you seen it? This...... This thing looks like it's a living thing? The fat man grinned.

Gao Chao hurriedly made a silent gesture at him, and then turned his head to look at the sky behind him, although he could see nothing, only a void of darkness, but the three of them were silent for a moment, and after making sure that they had not been discovered by the winged thing, they began to talk again in a low voice.

"Where did this thing come from?" Gao Chao had already crouched, squatting next to the puddle of slime, and touched the tactile film with the long knife in his hand again.

The fat man grinned on the sidelines. It's like saying that I don't want to go near that kind of thing anymore.

Xia Qing seemed to be thinking about something, and she suddenly raised her head and looked at the canopy above her head.

Then she seemed to understand something, and said, "Maybe this thing fell from the tree by accident." ”

"Falling from the tree, you mean......" Gao Chao also raised his head and looked towards the canopy.

Sure enough, the fruit that was supposed to grow on the treetops like a huge bird's egg was gone.

Gao Chao continued: "You mean. This film is left behind by the rupture of the fruit? ”

Xia Qing nodded and said, "It should be, haven't you found out?" The surface of these trunks touches. They are all soft and feel like human skin, and if we follow this phenomenon, then the fruit of these trees may have the same skin as human skin, and ......" She glanced again at the puddle of mucus on the ground. He frowned and continued: "And this layer of things may still be like people, and they will have some senses. ”

The fat man said disdainfully next to him: "Perception? Do plants have sentience? This is the first time I've heard of it. ”

Xia Qing snorted coldly and said, "That's because you don't know how to learn, so you haven't heard of it, of course plants are sentient, but the reaction of plants to external stimuli is not so strong......" she said. He looked at the puddle of film on the ground again, and then continued: "It's like a layer of things, if you touch it with something, it will make a move, and such a strong reaction is almost unimaginable, and what can be compared to it is the reaction speed of the Venus flytrap." ”

Xia Qing couldn't help but shudder at the mention of the Venus flytrap, of course he remembered the giant Venus flytrap he encountered in the ancient city of Yinshan.

Like the fat man, Gao Chao was also uncomfortable, and Gao Chao's heart was not a taste, and he remembered the old man who died in the flytrap, and the miserable scene of the old man at the last moment - it was really unthinkable to die in such a way.

Recalling those unbearable past events, and looking at the film that was still slowly squirming on the ground in front of him, Gao Chao and the fat man both felt a little uncomfortable in their stomachs.

However, Xia Qing is not ready to put an end to this topic.

She continued: "The thing that flew in the sky just now may have come for these fruits, it may have sensed our presence, but it did not expect to be disturbed by the fruit that fell on its own, so it took the things in this fruit away, and these fruits may be the main food of that kind of thing. ”

Xia Qing made this inference, obviously there was some truth, Gao Chaoqiang endured the sour water in his stomach, nodded and said: "It seems that your idea is very likely, but I don't know what can be in this fruit?" ”

The fat man covered his mouth with his hand and said: "Look at the skin of this thing is disgusting enough, I really can't imagine how good the fruit in it can be, it's also some slimy things, I see ......" The fat man grinned at Gao Chao and said: "Old Gao, I think let's hurry up on the road, even if this forest is big, there is a side, let's hurry up and get out from here, or turn back that flying thing is here again, and then we really can't eat and walk around." ”

There is some truth in what the fat man says, at least the last sentence is still very fond of listening.

So he hurriedly responded: "You're right, let's not think about it so much, anyway, the most important thing is to find the tomb of the goddess safely...... he looked at Xia Qing again and said, "What do you say, Xia Qing, let's hurry up and get on the road." ”

As Gao Chao spoke, the acid water had begun to churn up from his stomach, and he had no way not to look at the puddle of things on the ground, let alone block his nose, not to smell the fishy smell, as long as he imagined the general appearance of that thing in his heart, Gao Chao had an urge to flee immediately.

Xia Qing can naturally see this feeling.

She only shrugged her shoulders in agreement. (To be continued.) )
