Amazed at Hercules' words, Tianxuan looked across the lake: the area was covered with a gray posture from the sky to the ground, the visibility was relatively low, and the air was surrounded by a thin mist; The whole world was unusually quiet, there was no sound, not even a gust of wind, and the lake was calm without any movement, all of which did make people's hearts a little hairy.

Still, I could barely see the bare tree trunks on the other side standing straight on the gray earth. But except for the atmosphere of this scene, which made people feel very depressing, there didn't seem to be anything unusual, so Tianxuan's tense nerves slowly relaxed.

"Don't be fooled by appearances, these trees are not fuel-efficient lamps!" Hercules said, pointing to the other side of the lake.

"Could it be that this tree eats people?" Tianxuan's fingers held his chin in a figure-eight shape, indicating that he was surprised.

"Almost, the trunk of this tree is thick and strong, and there are large, hard thorns growing on it, as if many guards are guarding this tree with thick spears in their hands, and whenever they touch it or there is a vibration around it, the trunk will open and stretch out their tentacles to hook the creatures with these hard thorns, and draw their blood!" Hercules said very seriously.

"So horrible? It's like a man-eating flower, a large pitcher plant! Wouldn't it be enough to cut them down? Tianxuan's eyes widened and he said.

"Not at the moment!" Hercules said very blandly.

"Why can't you cut it off?" Tianxuan was puzzled.

"Don't look like these trees are ordinary, but they're made of steel, from the trunk to the roots. We didn't bring heavy equipment with us to expand the agricultural area this time, so we couldn't move these iron guys at all. And you may not know that even if you cut off the trunk of the tree and don't uproot it, the root system in the soil will still pop up and attack people! Hercules explained, waving his fingers back and forth.

"Nari? How could such a steel-like tree grow, and it really grows naturally? Are you sure it's not a man-made mechanical thing? Tianxuantou leaned back, indicating that he couldn't accept the steel tree for a moment.

"This iron tree is indeed a naturally formed plant, it is genuine!" Hercules said calmly, after all, it was a common thing for them. This is easy to understand, just like when the Spanish conquered the Indians, more than 100 war horses not only frightened the Indians, but also the local animals. It's no wonder that there are many things.

"Isn't this the Iron Tree in the legendary Iron Tree Hell? There really is such a thing, and today is really an eye-opener! Tianxuan listened to Hercules's explanation and began to get used to it a little.

"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, there's a lot of things you don't know about here, so you have to be prepared. Don't be scared and slump on the ground! Hercules didn't say a few words and began to sneer again.

"How is it possible, I've seen a lot of scenes. But don't we have any other passage that we can't bypass, and we have to force our way through here? "Tianxuan

"Yesterday there was a magma surge in the asthenosphere below, and several major channels were forced to close, and it took at least a week for them to open, so we had to pass through here." Hercules

"Oh my God, isn't this a human life? It's hard! Tianxuan rubbed his hands on this head and said

"Don't worry, Tianxuan, this little thing is still easy to solve, don't be impatient, I'll handle everything." Sal finished speaking and a few other Mayans opened their backpacks and pulled out a similar prop.

THIS PROP IS A PALE CYAN LONG HANDLE ABOUT HALF A METER LONG AND 30CM WIDE, THE TOP SHAPE RESEMBLES A CIRCULAR ARC, AND THERE ARE TWO STRINGS CONNECTING THE LONG HANDLE AND THE ARC, AND BELOW THE LONG HANDLE IS A CIRCULAR GROOVE THE SIZE OF SEVERAL FISTS. I saw them open the round groove and scoop out a large pile of corn kernels with a spoon and put them into the round groove, close them and press a blue button on the top of the prop, and the transistor in the middle of the long handle began to flash blue light back and forth.

After more than ten seconds, a large pile of corn grains fell on the other side of the lake like scattered flowers of the goddess. At the same time as the corn grains fell, many iron trees on the opposite side writhed like demons. Tianxuan now understood that they were using some kind of bow and crossbow to shoot corn grains to the opposite shore for fire reconnaissance.

"Is this going to pass?" Tianxuan felt that things were not so simple.

"It's still early? Wait! Hercules said unhurriedly.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a while. In the distance, a group of silvery-white things appeared, glittering like small airplanes. No, it could be said that it was some kind of glowing bird by the constant fluttering of its wings. They gradually flew closer, and Tianxuan realized that it was a group of glowing birds as big as magpies.

"It's a glowing bird!" Tianxuan opened his mouth and said.

"Well, yes, it's called a lantern sparrow. There are many species that glow in the underworld, and this is just one of them, and they are not dangerous to us! Hercules said.

"Wow! It's a magical exotic place! Tianxuan exclaimed.

Surprise is surprise, but what happened next Tianxuan has been reluctant to mention it in his future memories, because it was too cruel, and he regretted that he was too curious to see that scene.

At this time, I saw the lantern birds flying to the land on the other side of the lake to compete for corn. Because of the glow of the lantern finch, the situation on the other side of the lake is clearer than just now: the trunk of the iron tree on the other side of the lake is about the thickness of a bowl, the whole trunk is grayish-white and has a metallic luster, and there are a few leaves on the top of the trunk that resemble peacock tails......

Just when Tianxuan sighed at the miracle of nature, a tragic thing happened, and some iron trees were touched, and the thick trunks suddenly opened, and several tentacles connected to the leaves stretched out from them, and stretched out their teeth and claws towards the lantern sparrow.

"Whew!" A lantern finch was pierced through the body, "Whew! The other lantern finch was pierced through the body, and in this way, many lantern finchs fell in a pool of blood, and the remaining lantern finchs were frightened and flew up, but some of them were still too slow, "Click, click!" Another group of lantern finches were pierced in mid-air, and blood dripped down the tentacles to the ground, and the scene was very miserable, which confirmed the old saying: birds die for food.

Then a strange phenomenon happened, all the iron trees that were immersed in blood donated blood took back their tentacles, returned to their original state, and then bright red buds bloomed on their trunks, and in a few seconds the flower buds broke through their coats, revealing red petals, red as fire, bright as the sun, and very beautiful. Although it is extremely beautiful, it is based on the premise of sacrificing countless lives.

But the matter is not over, the flying lantern sparrow suddenly stopped in mid-air and kept flapping its wings, why didn't it move?

Because there was a huge spider web hanging in the sky, the lantern sparrow that thought it was flying up to escape landed on the spider web again, and then a rock above his head loosened, and Tianxuan fixed his eyes to see which rock it was? It was just a giant spider disguised as a rock, and when I saw the lantern sparrow fall into the net, I began to taste the feast.

At this time, I saw Hercules take out a disc the size of a tire, and a fluorescent five-pointed star appeared in the center of the disc with a bang, and then a light arrow shot at the spider with a "whoosh" sound, and with the violent shaking the spider fell down heavily and fell to the ground and broke several iron trees because of gravity, and another spider fell down with a "whoosh", and the tragic situation was still the same.

"What is this for?" Tianxuan was puzzled by such a move, in fact, he also knew a little in his heart that it was just difficult to accept this cruel scene for a while.

"The purpose of using corn to lure this spider is to open the way with the spider's huge body." Hercules said with a familiar expression.

Looking at Hercules' deserved appearance, Tianxuan's scalp suddenly tingled, his eyes felt a little sore, and he felt uncomfortable all over his body. However, his face was still dead, so he kept rubbing his eyes with his fingers and pretending to be sleepy.

"Don't fix those useless rookies, you can't afford to panic at this time. Survival is like that, we can't live without sacrificing them, unless you don't eat or drink, but even then there will be creatures that will eat you. The world is devoured and devoured, so giving up those weak postures and ensuring survival is the key! Hercules only glanced at Tianxuan, then turned his head and continued to look ahead, coldly telling the law of survival.

"Everyone, pay attention, now you can cross the river, Tianxuan, you have to pay attention to first switch the waterway pioneer to the surface mode and then cross the water, the water here is much lighter than ordinary water, and you can't help it if you accidentally fall down." After crossing the river, there is still work to be done under the shore docking. Sal spoke earnestly to Tianxuan. So the five of them got into the car, and when the air cushion at the bottom was turned on, they rushed across the lake and went straight to the opposite shore.

After crossing the lake, Tianxuan looked at the land overgrown with iron trees, although there was still a lifeless gray feeling on the ground, but the bright red flowers blooming on the trunk and the bloodstains on the ground made him unable to avoid what had just happened, and the more bright the flowers bloomed, the more they stabbed Tianxuan's cranial nerves. But that's not the end of it.

"Stop right here!" After crossing the river, Sal motioned for everyone to stop moving forward and descend from the waterway vanguard, "The light ahead is still relatively dim, and some uncertain factors still exist, and we must make slight adjustments to eliminate these obstacles in order to move forward, then Hercules will leave it to you." ”

As soon as Sal finished speaking, he saw Hercules take out two square translucent boxes from his backpack and put them in front of the two spiders, and pressed the blue button on the top of the bottom, and the bottom of the square translucent box stretched out two claws to firmly hook the ground, and then the box began to vibrate, and a pink-like substance began to appear in the center of the box, and quickly expanded, this dough was a bit like a heartbeat.

Once he had set it up, Hercules quickly pulled out an original box, and from the box he pulled out a tape-like white strip and loaded it into the magazine of the same crossbow that had fired corn earlier. In the same rhythm, after closing the magazine, Hercules skillfully pressed the button on the top of the crossbow, and the middle launch tube began to flash with blue light, and then with a "bang" sound, the white strip was thrown into the air like a fishing rod throwing a hook, as for how far it was thrown, I don't know, anyway, it was far away until the naked eye couldn't see the distance.

After Hercules finished projectile, Tianxuan found an interesting thing, that is, the white stripes floated in the air in a small arc, and the white lines stood out in the gray environment.

Just as Tianxuan was infinitely replenishing the white strip, Hercules used some props to ignite the top of the strip, and then the flames quickly formed a small white fireball, and then countless small fireballs stretched into the distance one by one along the curve side by side.

Suddenly, the gray sky was lit up, and the road ahead was also illuminated by this small fire! At the same time, the previous square box bounced out the pink heart-like substance inside and bounced it onto the spider's body. What happened in the next moment completely stunned Tianxuan: the pink substance suddenly shattered on the spider's body, and then ejected the two spiders hundreds of meters away like a shockwave, because the spider's huge body hit a lot of trees in the process of propulsion, and when the spider finally stopped, many iron trees began to twist, and the result can be imagined, the spider disappeared, leaving only the blooming flowers on the trunk of the iron tree and the two bright red blood stains on the ground.

"Don't be in a daze, this fire will be extinguished soon, hurry up and switch to land mode to move forward!" Hercules shouted at the stunned Tianxuan.

"Understood!" Tianxuan came back to his senses after being screamed, but he was still very uncomfortable and felt a little vomiting. But he was not as weak as he imagined, after all, he had experienced a lot of cruel things, but it was not so bloody. After a slight adjustment, he hurriedly followed the four of them to start the waterway pioneer.

Just as they were starting, Tianxuan saw that the first small fire was extinguished, and the second small fire began to dim.

"In other words, the lighting ends with the disappearance of small fires." Tianxuan thought so as he went, and sure enough, as they successfully passed through the oppressive layer of iron trees, the last small ball of fire began to dim, then disappeared, and the lighting ended.
