Chapter 38: The Ancient Tree Falls

The ancient tree we are in is now crumbling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info could collapse at any moment, and we were at the waist of this ancient tree, at least twenty meters above the ground. Even if you don't fall to death, you will be stoned to death by this huge ancient tree, and even if you don't get stoned to death, you will be bitten to death by burrowing tarantulas and corpse-eating ants below.

I looked down and saw that the battle between the dense corpse ants and burrowing tarantulas below was still very intense. And the burrowing tarantula in a panic actually began to burrow in the trees. No wonder this ancient tree is crumbling and may collapse at any time.

I don't have time to think about it if I can't find a good solution before this ancient tree falls. Then the four of us, this time it is really a situation of more than one bad luck and nine deaths.

I reached for myself and suddenly felt a coil of rope. I remembered the rope I used when I fell into the pile of dead leaves. After I put it away, I tied it around my waist.

With an idea, he hurriedly untied the rope. While tying one end of the rope firmly to his waist, he handed the rope to the thin monkey next to me, and anxiously explained, "You tie the rope to yourself first, and we will find a way to jump to the branch of the tree in front of us." ”

The rest of the people, without doubt, hurriedly did as I said.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for them to tie the ropes, I took a closer look at the environment in mid-air. There are towering ancient trees all around, and the nearest ancient tree is only about five or six meters away, but the branches have a lot of overlaps with the ancient tree we are in. Moreover, these ancient trees were overgrown with parasitic vine plants, and I pulled hard, and found that the firmness was not much different from the vine man in the bluestone slab tunnel before. These vine plants should be able to be used again to get us out of this life-and-death situation. I can't help but secretly rejoice that this place is full of all kinds of vine plants.

The ancient trees here are so large that they are still strong even after thousands of years. There are even fresh leaves on the branches of many ancient trees, indicating that these ancient trees are not really dead. But now is not the time to discuss this, and I see that they are all tied with ropes.

I hurriedly gestured to them and motioned for them to follow me. I tentatively stepped on the branch in front of me with my foot, and when I was sure that it was basically okay, I grabbed a vine plant with both hands and kicked it over. In mid-air, I borrowed a little force from the branch I had tried, and the dragonfly swung smoothly to the ancient tree opposite.

Then I beckoned to the thin monkey to come with me, and the thin monkey clung to the branch, afraid of falling. Seeing that I waved at him and motioned for him to come over, I looked helpless but didn't dare to let go of my hands.

Seeing this, the fat man said angrily: "You fucking ink fart, if you don't go over, we will all die here." If you want to die, get out of here! The fat man didn't say much, he held the branch with both hands and raised his feet, and directly kicked the thin monkey over.

The skinny monkey screamed in fright, and in his panic instinctively grabbed the vine plant that I had grabbed when I swung over. I was a little amused and couldn't help but say, "Just hold on tight, don't fall down." The skinny monkey closed his eyes in fright, but nodded with difficulty and gave me an OK response.

I stood here and grabbed the rope and quickly pulled the skinny monkey over. Because the skinny monkey was closest to me when the rope was tied, the skinny monkey was the second rope to tie. After I came, I had to come back by the skinny monkey right after. If he doesn't come, the fat man and Cui Linghong in the back won't be able to come over.

After seeing that the thin monkey had passed safely, I beckoned to Cui Linghong again. Cui Linghong saw that everything was going well in front of him, so he hurriedly jumped and grabbed Teng Man with both hands. It's just that at this time, the ancient tree we were in before was on the verge of toppling. The entire tree began to tilt downward.

The sound of a tree branch breaking that sounded like a talisman stood out from the countless screams below. "Fatty, hurry up and grab Fujiman, don't wait!"

I saw that it was too late to pull them over one by one, so I hurriedly urged.

The fat man reacted quite quickly, and when I just landed on the ground, he also jumped and grabbed Fujiman. It's just that the fat man was already amazingly weight, and the fall of this jump was too fast, and the entire vine plant was pulled down several meters. And because I was pulling the rope, I was also pulled down on the trunk by this downward force.

At this time, the ancient tree, which was first eaten by the burrowing tarantula, finally fell. The branches of the trees were overwhelming, scraping on us. I only felt a burning pain in my arm, which instantly spread throughout my body. I almost let go of the rope in my hand, and finally gritted my teeth and persevered.

And countless dead branches and leaves fell from the sky, and soon in addition to the arms, there were also bursts of hot pain on the thighs, calves, back, and waist. My first feeling at this time was that my mother was fortunately lying on her stomach, otherwise she would have been disfigured.

I didn't have time to check the injuries on my body, I just felt like a whole piece of skin was gone. And at this time, he was still holding the rope tightly in his hand, and there were two more people at the other end of the rope. I think I may subconsciously let go of the rope in my hand at any time, or be dragged under the tree by the fat man and Cui Linghong.

Finally, when the branches were not so densely scraped on me, I opened my eyes with difficulty. The corpse eaters and burrowing tarantulas below were also gone, and the dead leaves were littered with the broken corpses of burrowing tarantulas. It seems that the previous speculation that burrowing tarantulas want to burrow into the trees to escape is wrong, and the purpose of their gnawing on ancient trees is to scare off corpse eaters.

This should have been thought of a long time ago, when we were chased all the way by burrowing tarantulas, we basically ran on the trunks of those fallen ancient trees. Otherwise, how could such a huge ancient tree easily collapse? And it seems that the battle between the two groups is not just this one.

It's just that I don't have time to care about it now, my whole body is sore, and the rope in my hand is only grasping by instinct. It took a while for the world to finally return to peace.

The first person to speak turned out to be a thin monkey, only to hear him ask next to me, "Master Zhao, are you okay?" ”

I turned my head with difficulty to look at him, and he didn't know when he had untied the ropes from his body. I was still thinking that if I couldn't catch it, at least the skinny monkey would be able to top it. Now it's completely scared, but fortunately I didn't let go.

And I found that the skinny monkey was not injured at all except for a few holes in his clothes that were hung by tree branches. Seeing this, he suddenly became angry, and scolded in his mouth: "You are blind, do you think I am fine?" Why don't you hurry up and pull the two of them up. ”

The thin monkey reluctantly took the rope from my hand, and I looked down and asked, "Are you two still alive?" If you're alive, climb up and climb hard, I don't have the strength to pull you two anymore. ”

I was really tired, with multiple injuries and body aches. I didn't expect the thin monkey to pull the two people below up, so I had to ask them to work hard to climb up.

It's just that the moment these two people came up, I was frightened again, completely stunned, and just looked at the two of them stupidly.
