Chapter 111: The Tree Monster (Part II)
Meng Fan casually stopped in front of a big tree, "This is it, we have arrived." ”
"Where is this?" Li Yongfu turned his head to look around and found that everything was very unfamiliar.
Meng Fan said: "You have been here. ”
"No way, I definitely haven't walked through this." Li Yongfu denied it.
Meng Fan shook his head and looked at Li Yongfu with a helpless face.
Li Yongyong said straight to the point: "Meng Er, what do you want to explain when you brought us here?" ”
"yes, we've been in the forest for so long, we're going to confuse you." Li Yongan's tone was slightly complaining.
Meng Fan pointed in front of him and said lightly: "This is the truth." However, there was nothing around him, and the direction of his finger was a large tree outside his feet.
Li Yongfu immediately said unhappily: "You want to say that the truth is a tree?" ”
Meng Fan glanced at Li Yongfu in surprise again, "I was blinded by you again!" ”
Li Yongfu felt that he was being teased by Meng Fan, and he was furious: "Meng Er, don't play tricks anymore, I'm not in the mood to joke with you now." ”
Li Yong dared to frown together and said: "Meng Er, now is indeed not the time to laugh, the situation we are facing is not optimistic, if we don't find it again, maybe everyone will be killed." ”
The corners of Meng Fan's mouth twitched, and he replied: "I'm not joking with you, whether it's true or not, you can see when you step forward." ”
"Me?" Li Yong dared to point to his nose, and when he saw Meng Fan nodding, he stepped forward suspiciously and walked around the tree.
This is a tree nearly 20 meters high, shaped like a metasequoia, with a waist of three people hugging, in the deep mountains and old forests, it seems to be an arbor of this size, not 10,000 but 8,000, ordinary can no longer be ordinary.
Li Yong dared to turn around for a while, lest he miss it, and after turning around three times to take a closer look, he finally asked, "Meng Er, what do you want me to see?" ”
"What do you see?" Meng Fan asked rhetorically.
Li Yongdang was slightly stunned, "I saw an ordinary tree. ”
"Look again." As Meng Fan spoke, he quietly took out a small object from his trouser pocket and held it in his hand, unaware of it.
Li Yongdang was a little angry at the moment, but seeing Meng Fan's serious expression, he had no choice but to be patient, "Okay, I'll watch it again, you must not treat me as an idiot." ”
Just as Li Yong dared to go around halfway and walked to the back of the arbor, Meng Fan pressed the two fingers of his right hand one by one, and with a "pop", a bottle cap bounced out of his palm.
"Ah, this is?!"
Almost at the same moment, Li Yong, who was on the back of the tree, let out a roar.
"Brother Dare!"
Li Yongyong moved when he heard the sound, and rushed to take a look and found that Li Yonggan was not in danger, but looked like a dumbfounded.
"Brother Dare, what's wrong with you?" Li Yongyong called several times, but there was no response, he suddenly sighed, and found that his feet were covered with pine cones.
"It's strange, this is obviously a metasequoia, why did so many pine cones pop up?"
"Hehe, even you said it was a pine cone, so you really didn't read it wrong." Li Yong dared to speak suddenly, but for some reason, his tone became very low, which made Li Yongyong think of dead pine and fallen leaves for a while.
When he came back to his senses, he heard Li Yongdare to say again: "Ah Yong, take a look, is there a scratch carved on this wooden bamboo?" ”
"Muzhu?"
Li Yongyong was puzzled: "This is clearly a metasequoia, how can you be confused Brother Dare-" Before he finished speaking, his vision suddenly flickered, and after seeing it clearly, he was stunned!
The cyan wood and bamboo in front of it is tall, the pole is more than eight meters high, the nodes are distinct, and it can have the thickness of a wrist. At the place where the bamboo body is about a meter over, there is a very conspicuous straight and long scratch, which should be carved by a sharp weapon.
This is really a bamboo tree!
Li Yongyong was extremely shocked for a while: "Could it be that I am blind?" But a moment ago, I saw that it was a tree growing here with three people hugging, and it was only in a blink of an eye....... This, what's going on? ”
Li Yongyong is second monk is puzzled, so he understands Yongdang's previous stunned and distracted performance.
Li Yong dared to squat down and pick up a pine cone, pinched it with both fingers, and the shriveled pine cone immediately withered and disintegrated, and he touched the nicks on the bamboo again, looked left and right, and muttered to himself.
Although the voice was small, Li Yongyong could vaguely hear it when he brought his ears closer: "Impossible, how can it be....."
Brother Dare What did you find?
When Li Yongyong was secretly suspicious, he suddenly heard Li Yongdang say: "We have been to this place. ”
"What?"
"When we set out from the bamboo forest and entered the depths of the valley, we once rested under a masson pine forest, do you remember?"
Li Yongyong pondered for a moment and remembered that this morning he had indeed set out from the bamboo forest, and later took a break under the pine forest to escape the scorching midday sun.
Seeing Li Yongyong nodding, Li Yong dared to say, "This is the Masson pine forest we have stayed in." ”
After hearing this, Li Yongyong retorted: "We have indeed rested under the pine forest, but there are more than 10 million pine trees in the Aoki Valley, and this pine forest is not a pine forest, not to mention that this is not a masson pine, but a bamboo tree, Brother Dare, you must be too tired to have a confused memory." ”
"No, I'm not mistaken."
Li Yong shook his head and said: "You have never led the team, so you don't feel this way, but I have been observing in front, and since I entered the pine forest, I have been faintly uneasy, and after that, it is really strange things." No matter how you go, you will always return to the original point and cannot leave, as if all the cycle begins and ends in the pine forest. Of course, this could also be my delusion. ”
Li Yongyong naturally hoped that Li Yongyong had a delusion, otherwise it would be as he said, and this matter would be really mysterious.
"Brother dare..."Li Yongyong was about to speak, Li Yongyong waved his hand and interrupted: "I thought it was a delusion at first, so although I was uneasy, I didn't bring it up.
Later, I found Liu Chaosheng's stele again, and I had some clue in my mind, but until now I saw this wooden bamboo, I didn't know what to believe now. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Li Yongyong was very confused when he heard it.
Li Yong dared to be silent for a while, "I carved this scratch." ”
"What?!"
Li Yong dared to show a wry smile: "Leaving the Masson Pine Forest, do you remember what happened afterward?" ”
Li Yongyong said without thinking: "You mean Liu Chaosheng's stone stele?" ”
"No, it's still a Masson pine forest." Li Yongdang shook his head and said: "I remember that after leaving the pine forest, I became more and more uneasy in my heart, and sure enough, I went down again, and I still saw the pine forest again." The Masson pine forest appeared one after another, and I realized that I might have taken the wrong direction, which caused the team to most likely go in circles, but the third time it appeared was a bamboo forest, so I carved a scratch on a wooden bamboo to prevent getting lost. ”
After listening to what Li Yongdang said, Li Yongyong's mouth could already stuff an egg, "That's why you said that we have been here, but according to what you said, this place should be a bamboo forest." ”
"Heh, I don't know if it's a bamboo forest or a pine forest." Li Yong dared to point to the ground and the wooden bamboo and said, "Look, it's obviously a bamboo, why are there so many pine cones on the ground?" And it was obviously an arbor before, but in a blink of an eye, it became bamboo, which is even more strange. ”
Li Yongyong immediately clapped his hands and said, "You also saw it, you saw it too!" It seems that I am not blind. As he spoke, he fell silent again, and he was not blind, but he could not explain what he saw.
"Let's go, look ahead." Li Yong dared to hear the voices of Li Yongfu and the others, so he simply put aside the mystery here for the time being and walked around.
Turning the side of the wood bamboo, his sight suddenly flickered, Li Yong dared to look again, only to see that the wood and bamboo had turned into a masson pine dozens of meters high!
"How is this possible!" Li Yong dared to stare so much that his eyeballs were about to fly out of his sockets, and what he saw today was really incredible.
"Nothing is impossible."
When Li Yong dared to finish exclaiming, Meng Fan had already quietly finished checking the Masson pine.
As he expected, the original arbor changed its appearance in less than a blink of an eye, becoming a taller masson pine, and sure enough, three notches were found on the pine.
These three straight nicks were all carved by Meng Fan with a knife, and when he first encountered the pine forest again, he took a knife and carved a knife under a pine tree on the left three sides; When I encountered the pine forest for the second time, I repeated the old trick and carved two knives under the last pine tree. I wanted to leave a mark among the many pine forests to distinguish them, but who would have thought that these three notches would be attributed to one pine tree!
Could this be a low-level mistake made by Meng Fan? When he scored the second time, he didn't find the previous knife marks?
No, it's not Monvan's fault.
In my memory, the first pine forest was walked out with "three hundred and thirty-two steps", and the second pine forest was walked out with "four hundred and twenty steps".
But how to explain these three knife marks?
If it weren't for the previous discovery, Meng Fan wouldn't have come up with an answer even if he wanted to break his head.
"Fortunately, my life should not be extinguished, you take every precaution and work hard, but you will not think that I have the ability to sense magnetic fields!" Meng Fan thought to himself in his heart, his eyes were fixed on the horsetail pine, and he didn't move.
"Meng Er, what the hell is going on? I'm already confused. Li Yongda, who came from behind the tree, said: "What I saw in the back was obviously a wood and bamboo, but when I turned around, it was a masson pine!" ”
"And this?" Li Yongan said: "I just blinked an eye, and I saw the tree change, and I thought I was making a mistake." ”
"Damn, this tree is really changing, or is there something wrong with my eyes?" Li Yongfu, who circled the tree, shouted in shock.
"Meng Er, you should quickly explain, what's going on with this strange wood?" The people who had no result in talking urged Meng Fan one after another, all eager to know the truth.
Even Li Yongfu, who had previously spoken out against Meng Fan, changed his attitude, "Meng Er, if you want to know the truth, just tell it quickly, don't let us all be confused." ”
"Oh?" Meng Fan glanced at Li Yongfu and said with a chuckle: "Don't you Li Yongfu think that I am talking nonsense and refuse to believe me?" Why did this break the original intention? ”
"Hey, where do you start!" Li Yong's gospel tone dropped three times in a row, and flattered: "In the whole Li Zhuang, the person I Li Yongfu admires the most is you Meng Er." Not only is the strength infinite, there is a thousand catties of power, but also can open a five-stone strong bow, a hundred shots, is really a fierce warrior, but also has both courage and carefulness, wisdom is outstanding, can be described as wisdom and bravery! ”
Li Yongfu was boastful, and words of appreciation were endless, Meng Fan looked at him in surprise, who would have thought that this man with five big and three rough men would also hide a lot of skills in sloppy and slapping horses.
"When it comes to you Menger, who doesn't give a thumbs up and call a warrior!" Li Yongfu had little words left in his belly, that is, his voice folded, and he flattered: "Good words say that adults don't remember villains, Meng Erhao brother, don't worry about my old fu, a rough man who doesn't know Taishan." Please show mercy and tell the truth to others, okay? ”
Seeing Li Yongfu throwing a flattering look, Meng Fan couldn't help but shudder, he had never been annoyed by Li Yongfu's teasing, and the reason why he didn't say a word was because he was still making a choice in his heart.
After hesitating for a long time, Meng Fan still hadn't made a decision, and seeing everyone's eyes burning, he simply closed his eyes and thought to himself..... The events encountered in one day suddenly flashed in Meng Fan's mind like a movie playing, and his thoughts were tossing and turning, as if it was only ten breaths after a long time, Meng Fan slowly opened his eyes.
He glanced at the bottle in his hand, and the water was boiling inside.
Well, it's time to tell everyone the truth......
Meng Fan took a deep breath of turbidity, raised the bottle in his hand, and displayed it in front of everyone, "This is the wood water, and it is also the magic weapon to restrain this spirit beast-" Before he finished speaking, Li Yongfu interrupted and said, "What kind of wood water, and where did the spirit beast come from?" ”
"The turbid liquid in the bottle in my hand is the wood repellent water, and that spirit beast, also known as the 'Tree Monster', stands behind you at this moment."
"What!" Knowing that the strange tree behind him was a spirit beast, Li Yongfu hurriedly escaped a few feet away, patted his chest, and still asked in horror: "This strange tree turned out to be a spirit beast?" ”
Meng Fan's words were correct and round, and everyone could hear them clearly, obviously Li Yongfu asked a nonsense. But regardless of whether Meng Fan's words were true or not, hearing that this was a spirit beast, everyone couldn't help but be afraid, and they each retreated a few zhang away first.
Seeing that the strange wood did not move, Li Yong dared to settle down for a while, he thought about it secretly, and felt that Meng Fan's words were not true.
If this strange wood is really a spirit beast, then it doesn't need a cup of tea, enough for it to kill everyone present, how can it stay where it is and remain motionless, allowing people to talk and observe and point fingers, the spirit beast is not a domestic livestock; Besides, assuming that this was really a spirit beast, how did Meng Er know this information?
Li Yong was full of doubts, he was asking questions, and Meng Fan on the other end had already spoken: "I know that you all have many questions, some about me, and some about the tree maze. Meng Er will explain them one by one, please be calm and listen to me in detail. ”
After speaking, Meng Fan paused for a while, and seeing that no one intervened, he finally told the cause and effect......
