Chapter 75: The Hedgehog Tree
"You're killing yourself! Hahaha! Ugoda laughed as she faced the forest.
At this time, the team led by Tianxuan was resting in the forest.
Tianxuan looked at Heikati, who was being cared for, and asked the doctor with a ponytail next to him, "Dr. Kate, how is her injury?" β
"It's okay, it's just that there is gas congestion in the chest, and it will be fine after a while!"
Listening to Kate's words, Tianxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he walked up to Hercules and sat down: "I don't know when the big army will come in!" β
Hercules shook his head and said, "Don't expect too much, the terrain here is complicated, and it won't be so fast to attack in. β
"Hey!" Tianxuan stretched, looked up at the gray sky above and said, "It looks like the trench ronin shouldn't be chasing after me, I really want to sleep!" β
"Alright! You go to sleep! Here's what I'm looking at. Something called you! Hercules said calmly.
Tianxuan tilted his head at Hercules, arched his hand and said, "Thank you so much!" I'll drink some water first, and then sleep beautifully. β
"Let's go!" Hercules stretched out his hand and waved it back and forth.
So, Tianxuan jumped among the non-combatants, found a cup and began to drink water. However, after two sips, something suddenly fell from the sky, and then all around them were lit up.
"What's the situation?" Tianxuan hurriedly took the cup from his mouth and said in a panic.
"It's fine, just flares." Hercules said coldly on the side.
"Just flares?" Tianxuan asked with wide eyes.
"It's flares, I'm sure." Hercules replied coldly.
Tianxuan glanced around and found no trace of the trench ronin, and couldn't help but be puzzled, so he looked at Hercules and said, "But according to what you say, this group of trench ronins is too unstandard!" β
"How so?" Hercules had no expression on his face.
Tianxuan stretched out his finger and drew an arc and said, "Look at it! Don't you think it's strange that the surroundings are so bright now, but you don't see the enemy rushing in? β
Just as Tianxuan's words fell, there were screams around him.
The scream immediately touched the nerves of Tianxuan and Hercules, and they hurriedly followed the sound: they saw that dozens of Mayans had been pierced by spikes by the edge of the tree.
"Is it an enemy attack?" Tianxuan's breathing became rapid at this moment, and the muscles in his body were tense, ready to fight at any time. And at this moment, there was some strange grinding sound behind him.
Tian Xuan turned his head violently, only to realize that the friction sound was not an attack by the trench ronin, but from the trees in the forest.
Under the illumination of the flares, many spikes emerged from the previously smooth trunk, like maces.
"What the hell is this?" Seeing the spikes sticking out of the trunks of the trees around them, everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly squeezed into an open place, for fear that they would be stabbed into a hornet's nest by leaning on the trees.
At this time, Tianxuan hurriedly took out the PokΓ©mon Illustrated Book from his backpack and scanned the tree trunk in front of him. After a flash of light, a holographic projection was displayed on the tablet iPad, and the Chinese characters read: "Hedgehog tree, 5-10 meters high, grows in a shady place, is very sensitive to light, once the surrounding light is too strong, many cone-shaped spikes will stick out of the trunk." β
"It turned out to be a hedgehog tree, and that strange thing has so many spikes! Attention, don't touch these tree trunks! Tianxuan reminded everyone after reading the introduction.
Just as the crowd was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the flares continued to be thrown, and the surroundings became brighter.
Seeing this scene, Tianxuan suddenly had an ominous premonition, he hurriedly looked at the introduction of the hedgehog tree again, and suddenly shouted: "Not good!" β
It turned out that he had just missed a special note, that is, when the spikes elongated to a certain extent, they would stop, and if the light continued to increase at this time, then many small spiky balls would immediately grow on the top of the spikes, and when the balls were the size of fists, the thorns on the balls would shoot out in all directions......
Seeing this, Tianxuan's eyebrows rose straight up, and his mouth opened wide, not knowing what to do. Because now the spikes have begun to grow thorn balls, and they are expanding.
At this critical moment, Tianxuan grabbed his head, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted to everyone: "Everyone hurry up and lie down and cover your head with both hands." β
After everyone heard Tianxuan's reminder, they immediately lay on the ground and covered their heads with their hands. Tianxuan also hurriedly lay down on the spot and held his head with his hands.
A few minutes after they lay down, they heard a tearing noise, and the spikes of the "purring" hedgehog tree rained down from the sky like raindrops, and many people were stabbed and let out screams. However, because Tianxuan led everyone to deal with it in time, there were no major casualties, basically some needles were inserted into the body, legs, and hands, and skin trauma.
"Wow! These trench ronins are so vicious! Fortunately, the response was timely, otherwise it would have been stabbed into a hornet's nest in minutes! Tianxuan sighed with a long sigh of relief. Just as he was sighing, a sudden tingling pain reached his brain, and he couldn't help but howl: "Oh! Woo! β
Tianxuan turned his head to see that his arm was bleeding, and Hercules was standing aside. So, he lowered his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing?" β
Hercules took a spike with blood drops between his two fingers and said with a hippie smile, "Help you pull it out!" β
"Damn! That's what you're doing! Rough hands! Tianxuan was complaining, and Hercules pulled a few more spikes from him. There is no doubt that there is blood flowing where it was plucked.
"That's it!" Tianxuan drank Hercules loudly, and said very unpleasantly, "It hurts to death, you don't need to pick it up, I'll go to Dr. Kate and let her deal with it." β
Hercules shrugged his shoulders, tilted his head and said, "Whatever you want!" β
Tianxuan glanced at Hercules, walked straight up to Kate, and muttered, "Doctor Kate, hurry up and help me bandage it!" β
Kate flicked off her ponytail and smiled, "Okay, wrap it around me." β
After escaping from under the hedgehog tree, the crowd relaxed their guard and began to rescue the wounded.
The crisis seems to have passed, but in fact it has just begun. Just as Kate was bandaging Tianxuan, a large wave of blue-black trench ronins killed him from all sides.
Tianxuan patted his head and said with a painful face: "You can't wait for me to finish bandaging before coming, hey!" It's a hard life! β
In this way, above the clearing in the middle of the hedgehog tree, the Maya and the trench ronin led by Tianxuan launched a second round of melee combat......
