Chapter 31: The Return of the Dragon Ball (Part 14)
"Greyhound, your dog's nose doesn't smell anything fishy. I think I hear a rustle of something crawling! "About behind us were two people according to the sound of footsteps, one of them suddenly said.
"You, you, ah! Ahh The other person screamed, the spirit dog turned his head to look at his companion, his whole body trembled, his expression was unusually distorted, and he pointed at him with trembling fingers, and the waist-deep bushes were slowly separated, and a human head suddenly stretched out from it, and then bit the neck of the spirit dog companion.
"What sound?"
"Over there in the makeshift camp!"
The screams suddenly rang out, and several people immediately ran towards the killing vine that had been cut down. At this time, the trees in the entire camp had completely 'moved', and the two people sent by Meixi were dragged by something to move quickly among the trees, and the two people kept struggling and screaming, and the hysterical screams were heard far away in the silent deep mountains and old forests.
"Ahh Seeing that the things in the bushes dragged the two people sent by Meixi to the huge flower, the huge flower actually swallowed one person in one bite. After swallowing a person, the petals closed, and at first you could still see the people inside struggling and screaming, but soon the struggle weakened, and less than half a minute later, the petals opened again, and a skeleton with blood slid out of the flower, and the things in the bushes immediately pounced.
In less than half a minute, a large living person was digested into white bones by that strange flower. The bodyguards scattered in all directions, but the giant killer vine showed another form of battle in front of us, and the thing that crawled out of the bud looked from a distance a giant eight-legged vine monster the size of a bathtub, but this eight-legged vine monster protruded from its flat mouthparts with a human head attached to its stomach, and the human head did not know what had happened to bite open the white bones spit out of the strange man-eating flower, and devour the brain in the skull and the bone marrow in the bones.
The few large living people who got closer were all that was left in the blink of an eye was a pile of bitten bones. Shi Lingren whispered, I don't know if this is a combination...... It's still evolved!
After eating these people under Long Sihai, dozens of eight-legged vine monsters surrounded the camp of Long Sihai's subordinates from the side of the man-eating flower. None of the eight-legged vine monsters peeking out of their stomachs had a duplicate of the human heads, men, women, adults, children, all kinds of different human heads. Their human heads did not grow on their own, but originally belonged to humans. A hideous face with closed eyes makes people shudder. For thousands of years, this primeval forest has swallowed up an unknown number of people...... No, some of them don't look like people at all!
Mei Xi was giving orders, "Linglinglong, you take two people to stay here, try to delay for a while, and the others will follow me to move things, this place is weird and can't be loved, let's go from the other side!" The strange and bloody scene and the dense mass of huge eight-legged vine monsters made the bodyguards rush to the ground. What was even more terrifying was the huge black shadow they saw.
It also made my scalp and the Shiling people tingle, these evolved animals and plants are really not something ordinary humans can deal with.
We slipped out quietly, the environment here was dark and damp, and the killing vine that dwelled in it had turned into a completely hollowed out tree in the middle, and there were at least five people hugging a huge vine root rooted in the center of the camp, the giant vine was crawling with branches, and many small rhizomes grew all over the rows of tents in the camp. It was this seemingly harmless tree that became the lair of the eight-legged vine monster!
"Check the baggage, don't care about the rest!" No one bothered to study this giant vine at all, Meixi quickly gave the order, and the gunshots were already ringing at the entrance. Most of the baggage has been destroyed, and it is possible that only the ammunition protected by the iron box on the outside of the sealed packaging has not yet been completely broken. Let the situation not be one-sided.
"Heavy weapons and most of the ammunition haven't broken yet, that's great!" The man called Linglinglong screamed in surprise and put the assault rifle behind him, took off the backpack on his back and quickly pulled the ammunition into the backpack, Shiling people I saw that each of them had at least two large bags, just to collect as many supplies as possible, obviously knowing what was most important.
"Linglinghu, you go with me to find the exit, and the others will fill the back pack!" Shi Ling saw Mei Xi throw the backpack he was carrying to the other bodyguards, and he called a bodyguard and walked around the giant vine to the other side of the camp, the camp side would definitely not be able to go, and he had to find another exit.
The spirit dragon and the rest of the bodyguards, who were in a hurry to collect supplies, didn't pay attention and slowly approached the huge vine that seemed to be calm, and the baggage was already close to the giant vine, and I saw them leaning over unconsciously.
"Why are there so many!" Many eight-legged vine monsters climbed the barbed wire fence that sealed the entrance to the camp, and began to bite wildly with their teeth that could bite bones, and the spirit dragon with two bodyguards guarded the entrance of the camp and fired wildly, and soon this barbed wire fence less than a meter thick was bitten out of the gaps.
The eight-legged vine monster wanted to crawl in through the gap where the barbed wire was cut, and the spirit dragon stood there and fired, and the flesh and blood of the eight-legged vine monster were beaten, and the dark green fishy juice continued to spurt out, but more and more eight-legged vine monsters climbed to the entrance of the camp, "I can't hold it, I will retreat while fighting!" ”
There were more and more bodyguards bitten by the eight-legged vine monster that broke through the gap, and the three spirit dragons were soon unable to stop the eight-legged vine monster from crawling in, and the three of them fought and retreated, and after killing a few eight-legged vine monsters, the entire barbed wire fence at the entrance was destroyed by the eight-legged vine monster, and the dense eight-legged vine monster poured in.
"Quickly retreat, quickly retreat, the eight-legged vine monster is in, chief, quickly retreat, leave those ammunition alone!" Dense eight-legged vine monsters rushed up, and Ling Linglong shouted and turned around with two bodyguards and ran, but when he turned around, he was stunned. The six bodyguards who were collecting ammunition were knocked unconscious in mid-air by the killer vine on the giant vine, and I saw their guns and collected ammunition fall to the ground. "Ahh
"Don't go near that tree, come here!" Mei Xi also ran over when he heard Ling Linglong's shout, and when he saw the bodyguard who was hanging upside down in the air, he was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and shouted.
As soon as Mei Xi's voice disappeared, the killing vine under the feet of a bodyguard behind Linglinglong began to move violently, and the killing vine wrapped around the bodyguard's feet and pulled the bodyguard down, and then the bodyguard shook violently, lost consciousness and was dragged away.
Just as the Spirit Dragons were attracted by this giant vine, dozens of eight-legged vine monsters crawled around the giant vine and surrounded the campsite, including us. Shi Lingren just shot and wanted to break the killing vine and save a few bodyguards, but the eight-legged vine monster went around behind him and pounced on him.
"Shiling people, be careful!"
Shi Lingren turned his head sharply and swept a row of bullets, all of which landed behind the eight-legged vine monster and missed it. The eight-legged vine monster knocked the stone man down, and the human head in the flat mouthparts popped out of the eight-legged vine monster's stomach and bit the stone Ling man's face.
"Click!" In a hurry, Shi Ling put the assault rifle across his head, and the human head in the stomach of the eight-legged vine monster bit the assault rifle fiercely, and the iron body of the spear was gnawed off. Cold sweat ran down Shi Lingren's forehead, and Shi Ling Man arched up and kicked on the soft belly of the eight-legged vine monster, kicking the terrifying eight-legged vine monster out of the air. It was only a few days before the Shiling people were about to be bitten half of their faces by this mutant animal.
"Who are you? Save me! Yes! Linglinghu suddenly screamed, and an eight-legged vine monster knocked him down. Linglinghu covered his head with his hand, and the eight-legged vine monster actually bit off his arm in one bite.
I rushed over and pulled the trigger of the assault rifle, but the gun had been bitten by the eight-legged vine monster just now, Shi Ling man followed and turned the muzzle of the gun, smashed the eight-legged vine monster with the butt, and was smashed on the mouth of the person by continuous heavy blows, and the eight-legged vine monster suddenly wailed and lay on the spirit tiger and did not move.
"Get up!" Shi Ling threw away the gun and pulled up the Spirit Tiger, and I carried my bag and fled together.
Everyone was relieved that we were at the bottom of a cliff, at least there were no killing vines here.
After the previous negotiations on peaceful coexistence between Shi Ling and Meixi, it seems that a consensus has been reached, and the most important thing at present is to contact the outside world.
A few bodyguards who did not die in the catastrophe talked together, I heard them say, it seems that Long Sihai and his party divided their troops before, leaving them to stay, but I didn't expect disaster to fall from the sky.
I thought again, maybe the killer vine came with us, and I couldn't help but feel a little guilty...... Something suddenly flashed in his field of vision...... "Don't speak, there seems to be something over there just now!" ”
Keeping the bodyguards silent, I stared at the mountain flowers on the cliff not far away, where something seemed to run quickly just now. But the mountain flowers over there were so dense that I couldn't see what it was.
"Female college student, don't scare me, the boss is not here, if something comes out, it will be trouble!" Several bodyguards were skeptical. The bandaged Lingling Tiger was sweating profusely.
At the same time, Shi Ling Man had already climbed to the halfway point of the cliff and was about to send a signal to summon Xiao Mo's helicopter, and as he crawled, Shi Ling Man suddenly noticed that something seemed to be following him under the cliff. Shi Ling stared at the plants around him, his speed slowly slowed down, and small movements began to appear under the plant community, and something was approaching him.
Little by little, the things under the plant community approached Shi Lingren, who stared at the slightly trembling plant community and slowly opened the safety of the assault rifle. It is extremely difficult to have a clearing to dodge in the plant community, and it is already sixty or seventy meters above the ground. He recited the words: "Gen is the Mountain" Gen: Gen its back, not its body, its court, no one is seen, no blame. The sixth day of the first month: Gen Qitoe, no blame, Li Yongzhen. Sixty-two: Gen Qifei, if he does not save him, his heart is unhappy. Ninety-three: Gen its limit, list its bounds, and smoke the heart. Sixty-Four: Gen is not guilty. Sixty-five: Gen Qifu, orderly speech, repentance. Upper nine: Dungen, Ji. I hope that the hexagram will be fulfilled......"
Grabbing the plant community with one hand and a gun in the other, Shi Ling stared at the place where the plant community trembled, he didn't want to shoot directly, that would anger the things under the plant community. If he doesn't shoot, something from the flora may crawl over and not attack him. This seemingly unevolved mountain flower seems to have given the Shiling people an inexplicable sense of security, making him believe that there is something here that will not attack humans.
The thing under the flora seemed to detect the Stone Ling Man, and it suddenly stopped two meters away from the Stone Ling Man, after which the plant community was slowly peeled away. The first thing the stone lings saw was a pair of large black eyes, and then most of the creature's body. It is a creature that resembles a flying squirrel. It is about 3 feet long, has a long, hairy tail, and a feather-like membrane between its front and rear limbs.
The 'flying squirrel' looked at the Shi Ling people curiously, it didn't seem to have seen humans, and there were no obvious signs of attacking the Shi Ling people. The Stone Ling Man just looked at the curious creature, and the 'Flying Squirrel' and the Stone Ling Man looked at each other, and after a while it seemed to get bored with the Stone Ling Man, and burrowed into the plant community, and soon disappeared under the dense plant community.
It is also an ancient and strange creature, but does not seem to be very aggressive. "Classic of Mountains and Seas" reporter, the mountain of Tianchi, there is no grass and trees on it, and there are many stones. There is a beast, its shape is like a rabbit and a rat's head, and it flies on its back, and its name is flying squirrel. The flying squirrel of the Beishan Jing is commonly known as the flying squirrel, those ancient rodents can glide from high to low places with the help of the membrane, sometimes they can glide more than 50 meters, and it is like a small blanket when it is in the air.
So mortals mistakenly think that it can fly, hence the name flying squirrel. Now there are such animals in Wudang Mountain and Australia, and they have even become pets. The most famous flying squirrel slave is Oliver Justice, a judge of the Supreme Court of the United States in modern times. Wendill. Holmes, a well-known American figure of a bygone century, was born in 1841, when there were only 27 states in the United States! He died in 1935 at the age of 94. He knew almost everyone who, as a teenager, had been talking for hours with the great thinker Emerson about the problems in the book. His father was Oliver of the same name. Wendill. Dr. Holmes is the author of the classic American prose literature "The Dictator at the Breakfast Table", from which the famous poems "The Invincible Iron Ship" and "The Little Two-Wheeled Carriage" are from. His father once said to the children during the meal, "Whoever says the most interesting thing, I'll give him a little more marmalade." "Wendill's favorite thing to eat is marmalade, so she often thinks of something interesting and sharp, and over time develops a talent for it. Seventy years later, when he attended the conference as a judge of the U.S. Supreme Court, he still uttered some very irritating warnings from time to time, and had to be deleted from the transcript after the meeting. He often said that even as a scholar, there is no need to be reserved and not to make jokes. When his hair had turned completely gray, he went to see a very satirical burlesque that Judge Holmes laughed so well that he could hear the laughter of those sitting in the first ten rows. After a while, he said to the strange man sitting next to him, "I often thank Heaven for the popularity of my interests. "But the man who said this is a jurist of great repute! He was recently recommended for membership of the Law Society of England as a non-English national, the first foreigner to receive this honour.
In 1857, when his father saw that he had become interested in the law and was determined to devote himself to it, he was very disturbed, because the profession of lawyer was so despised at the time, that he told him: "Don't learn such a thing, Wendill, for the law cannot make you a great man." But Wendyer did not think so, believing that the law could still make great achievements, so he still read the famous Blax's Commentary on English Law with the same interest as if he were a novel. When he was about to graduate from Harvard University in 1861, the Civil War broke out in the United States, and he immediately left his law books behind and joined the army. He wore loose trousers, a blue shirt, and a northern army uniform with a red cap, which, from the current point of view, was not suitable for combat at all. During the war, he had been wounded three times, one of which had pierced his heart, and when he was being carried away on a stretcher, a military doctor who happened to pass by said to him: "I think he is dead, and it will be a waste of time to take care of him." "Of course he didn't die! This Boston-born Northern Army not only did not die but continued to grow, standing 6 feet 3 inches tall!
During his time in the war, he made many achievements, and that was in 1864, when President Lincoln was in a critical situation, and it was Oliver who saved him. When the commander of the Northern Army, General Gülen, was struggling to attack Richmond, Juber. A Southern army under Ari's command was approaching Alesandria, Virginia, only 20 miles from Washington. Northern troops gathered at the fortress of Stevens to stop the enemy from advancing. President Lincoln, who had never been to the front line, personally visited Fort Stevens because of the urgency of the situation. In the midst of a hail of bullets, he stood on the roof near his chest wall without thinking. President Lincoln was tall and thin enough to be instantly recognizable to anyone, and he exposed himself to the eyes of his enemies. Immediately a general came over and said, "Your Excellency, I think it's better to get out of here." But President Lincoln ignored him, and at that moment, less than five feet away from him, a soldier staggered to the ground and fell to the ground, and a few moments later, another soldier was hit by the enemy three feet away. Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind Lincoln: "Stupid! Get down right now and get out of that line. Lincoln turned his head in surprise to see that it was young Captain Holmes, who was glaring at the president with the utmost seriousness. It turned out to be Captain Holmes! President Lincoln smiled and said, "You shouldn't speak to the people like that!" Then he nodded and retreated out of range of the enemy.
After the news got out, Oliver. Wendill. Holmes was of course regarded as a hero, but he said disapprovingly: "Don't put the title of 'hero' on my head, I'm just doing my duty as a soldier, and it's not a big deal." "Isn't it really a big deal? Maybe! But there is another thing that does not allow him to be modest and refuse. After the war, the young officer, as if nothing had happened, returned to his alma mater to continue his unfinished studies. He knew that it was impossible to earn much money studying law – there was even a popular saying at the time: "A lawyer who can earn a signing fee after a year of work is considered quite successful." Nevertheless, he resolutely decided to continue his study of law. But, Oliver. Wendill. Holmes didn't even earn a signboard fee, and to be clear, by the age of 30, he still didn't have the ability to live independently.
At the age of 31, Oliver and his childhood sweetheart Hani. Miss Diswell gets married, and the bride and groom have only a penny on them. They had to live with their father, Dr. Holmes, and the couple lived in a bedroom on the third floor, and the next year, the bride worked hard to save money for living expenses, and finally moved into the new house. The house is located on the second floor of the pharmacy, there are only two or three rooms, and the gas stove used for cooking has only one fire vent. The son of Dr. Holmes, who is considered a genius, has not yet set off from the starting line! As soon as he had time, he set about reordering James. Kent's great classical jurisprudence Commentary on American Law is a four-volume book that has been modernized. This is quite arduous work, because there are tens of thousands of precedents alone, and the opinions of the courts are even more numerous, and they must not only be studied in depth one by one, but also annotated, so they have been carried out year after year, and they have never been completed as scheduled. Oliver himself began to feel a little uneasy, because he had always believed that a man should achieve something by the age of 40, and now he was 39 years old. "Hani, do you think this book can be completed before the age of 40?" He often asked his wife that.
When the clock had struck 12 o'clock in the evening, he looked up from his desk and asked his wife, who, as usual, put the knit on her lap and replied, "No problem, Wendier, it will be done." "The job is finally done! Five days before his 40th birthday, the magnum opus, considered the pyramid of American legal history, was finally published, and the Holmes excitedly celebrated with champagne. The first to take action over the incident was Harvard University, which was ready to hire him as a law professor at an annual salary of 4,500 yuan. Of course, this was an honorable thing, but he was the most budget-savvy of Bostonians, so he didn't immediately say yes, but went with his friend George. Shatak discussed. "Don't lose this opportunity," Shatak said, "but with the proviso that the university has the right to resign at any time if given the opportunity to serve as a judge of the Massachusetts Supreme Court." Holmes couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, how could he possibly become a judge of the Supreme Court? Still, he accepted Shatak's suggestion. The first luck in his life finally came.
Three months later, Shatak hurried to Harvard, called out Holmes, who was giving a lecture, and said, "Hey! Big news! Otis. Rhodes has resigned, and now the Massachusetts Supreme Court must be replaced, and the governor is ready to nominate you to the advisory board for this position by 12 o'clock, and it's 11 o'clock now! With only an hour left, Holmes picked up his hat and immediately rushed to the governor's office with Shatak. A week later, he was inaugurated as a judge of the Massachusetts Supreme Court. He once recalled: "That blow like an electric carbide really changed my life. Yes, this appointment was a turning point in his life. Holmes earned the nickname "Great Opponent" when he was a Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court because he often had no qualms about opposing the opinions of other judges, such as the question of whether the Guild had the right to set up pickets in stores in 1886, and he was absolutely supportive of that right even though he had never done manual work, and was unwilling to back down a single step. When he submitted his opinion, he told his friends: "In this way, there is no chance of promotion." "Even though I know that it may hinder my future, I will never change my opinion. In his life, he never changed his views for his own interests, and the only thing to do for him was to live up to his beliefs.
The amazing thing is that although I have done countless things that would have ruined the opportunity for promotion, I ended up being promoted higher than others. At that time, when President Roosevelt was struggling to fight the Torras in order to prohibit the gradual proliferation of monopolies, Roosevelt heard of the deeds of Judge Holmes and said in a loud voice: "This is worthy of being a judge, quite good!" The appointment process was immediately processed, and Holmes became a judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, the highest honor in the American judicial community. President Roosevelt thought that this man, who had been promoted to become a judge, would definitely obey his orders, but he was wrong! When confronted with major events, he will still take a position contrary to the president's position at all costs. Roosevelt once angrily scolded: "This spineless fellow! Even spineless than bananas! Although Roosevelt was very angry, the public was very happy, and thought that such a person could be called a real judge, and that what was demanded by the people was this kind of person who did not accept the pressure of anyone, but did everything but according to his own conscience. For the next 30 years, he would oppose whatever his conscience felt should be opposed, and eventually became the most respected supreme judge in American history. He was the most colorful figure in the capital city, but he never gave interviews because he had a great dislike of attracting the attention of society.
But there are still some rumors about their private lives, such as the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Holmes are very fond of animals, and in addition to keeping a large flock of birds, they also keep two monkeys and three flying squirrels, which often bouncing around in the bedroom, so that they often cannot sleep peacefully at night. Judge Holmes sometimes dozed off during the session, allegedly because the three flying squirrels had swooped down on his bed from time to time like bombers the night before, preventing him from sleeping. Even in his 80s, he still doesn't take the elevator, and climbs upstairs with a two-stage jump; Hearing the sound of the fire alarm, the husband and wife will rush to the fire scene; Listening to his words outside the courtroom, it is hard to imagine that this man could be a man of high family in Boston, and it may be more convincing to say that he is a pirate! He had several secretaries, and he often started with "Lad! "Young people" or "bastard boys" call them. In 1928, a Washington journalist asked a worker, "What do you think of Oliver?" Wendill. How is Holmes the man? The worker grinned and said, "You mean the young judge of the Supreme Court?" He often spoke out against the old judges. Holmes laughed when he heard this, because he was 87 years old at the time, the oldest of all the Supreme Court.
Holmes often said, "I will never quit until God asks me to quit." By the age of 91, his body had finally weakened, and he even needed two colleagues to help him out of the bench. One day, he said to the secretary, "I won't come tomorrow?? Tomorrow never again. Sure enough, as he said, this day was his last day in court. Two years later, on Holmes' 93rd birthday, Franklin took up the presidency. Tirano. Rudwaite paid a courtesy visit to his home. Holmes was looking at Plato in his study, and the president asked him, "Judge Holmes, why are you looking at Plato?" "For cultivation." Holmes replied. In his 40s, Judge Holmes introduced new ideas about the origin and character of law, and since then he has become an internationally renowned jurist. He is most admired for his tireless fight for free speech. Now he is 93 years old, and he still looks at Plato for the sake of cultivation, although the United States is big, it is difficult to find someone like Holmes. No one can match Holmes' influence on American law, and Americans will continue to be influenced by his jurisprudence for decades to come. Judge Holmes' estate, totaling about $250,000, was donated to the U.S. government, and the entire collection was donated to the Library of Congress for the people of the United States who had served him all his life.
The man commented on the creature, and then he closed the safety of his assault rifle and continued to climb up with the assault rifle on his back. The place where the sunlight shines is about twenty meters away, there is a dazzling sunlight, Shiling people can't see the specific situation, but if they are lucky, the crack may be the exit where there is no electromagnetic interference.
"Did you say there was an exit up there?" Under the cliff, there was no movement for a long time among the mountain flowers not far away. Linglinghu thought that maybe I was too nervous to see it wrong, but he didn't let his guard down, leaning back against the plant community and looking at the mountain flowers vigilantly while eating.
"Perhaps!" I stared at the mountain flower for a while, frowning, I knew that I was not mistaken, there should be something in the mountain flower. It's just that the thing didn't attack us, and I can't shoot at will, which might trigger a possible attack in advance, or it might make the Shiling people who are about to climb to the top of the crack misjudge.
Seeing that I didn't know how to lift, Linglinghu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, and ate and drank the food in his backpack. Linglinghu looked up at the Shiling people who had disappeared into a piece of light.
The Stone Ling climbed near the light of the rift, but could no longer climb up. The plant community has come to an end here, and the cliffs above are not only slippery, but they are not ordinary rocks, but a very smooth crystalline object. In layman's terms, it's like polished jade or crystal. In short, it is extremely reflective and extremely smooth, and it is impossible for humans to climb without professional equipment.
The entire crack that shines on the light is the crystallization of this strange crystal, and these crystals reflect the intense sunlight. The Shiling people found that the light above was not directly irradiated from the ground at all, but through the irradiation of this crystal, it may even have gone through several refractions before the light on the ground reached the mountain flowers under the rock cracks.
I'm afraid that I can't go up from above, and it's not an exit, and this discovery made Shi Ling people a little frustrated. It may be paradise, but there is no exit to earth. The Shiling people discovered this, and reached out to touch the strange crystals in the rock crevices, which were definitely not naturally formed. The crystals have a thin layer of slime on them, and I don't know what they are.
The Shiling people didn't know what these crystals were, and they didn't have much interest, even if these things were all rough diamonds, they didn't have the slightest effect on the Shiling people. I'm afraid that even Linglinghu may not be interested in these things, because the deep mountains and old forests will not have diamond-cutting machines and strong enough jewelry masters. Survival is the most important thing!
Finding that it was impossible to get out from here, the Shiling people prepared to return below. At this moment, Shi Ling suddenly noticed that something was running quickly on these crystals. Shi Lingren fixed his eyes and saw that these things turned out to be the 'flying squirrel' he had encountered before. These 'flying squirrels' are flying on the smooth crystals, which can be said to be like walking on the ground.
Some 'flying squirrels' are running fast on the crystals, and occasionally the 'flying squirrels' will suddenly stop and lick the crystals with their tongues. The Shi Ling people saw that these 'flying squirrels' would secrete some light mucus, which looked exactly like the mucus on the crystals. These 'flying squirrels' appear to be maintaining these crystals, and it is even more bold to assume that these crystals are likely formed by the 'flying squirrels' slime staining the rocks. Shi Lingren looked at this scene and suddenly thought of a possibility.
It is likely that the mountain flowers below have a symbiotic relationship with these 'flying squirrels', who transform the rocks to attract sunlight, and the plants in the mountain flowers store sunlight in a method unknown to humans. When night comes, the mountain flowers are still bright, and the sunlight can cause harm to many dark forest creatures, so the mountain flowers use this to protect the 'flying squirrels'. The 'flying squirrel' thus forms a symbiotic relationship with the mountain flower.
So the question is, what is the food source of these 'flying squirrels'? In this dark forest, I'm afraid it's hard to see humans very often. It is highly likely that mutated organisms or plants will hunt each other to solve evolutionary problems. Just like the murderous vines we encountered in the Shiling people before, the Shiling people found that some of the bodies wrapped around those plants were not human or mutated animals at all, such as those human heads...... They simply looked similar to modern humans, and were humanoids.
Shi Ling people haven't told Linglinghu and me about this yet, first, they don't have time to talk about it, and the other is afraid of causing Linglinghu to panic. There are still terrifying things in this dark forest that have not yet been revealed.
If 'flying squirrels' prey on mutated organisms or plants, then they may also prey on humans. The Shiling people had to think about the possibility of these 'flying squirrels' living in the mountain flowers becoming enemies, who knows how many 'flying squirrels' or other secrets are hidden in this vast mountain flower. The thought of being attacked by hordes of 'flying squirrels' made Shi Ling people shudder. He took a deep breath and silently recited the famous words in "Five Lights" before the Dharma Chang was extinguished, "Calmly hearing the sound of flying squirrels, it is said: 'This is this thing, not something else.'" Thou art and others who are good at self-support, and I am now gone. 'Words are extinguished.' Having understood this principle, even if you are in a noisy metropolis or a dark forest full of murderous machines, there is no obstacle to the cultivation of the Dao heart. The eyes of this state of mind are in the word "self-quiet". Calm your mind, you can see that the mountains are just mountains, see the water is just water, and the heart is like ice and clear waves.
With a deep sense of worry and disappointment, the Shiling people grabbed the plant community and slowly descended towards the dark forest. Thick plant communities are a good tool for climbing, but at the same time a good shelter for hidden creatures. The Shiling Man slowly descended, and when it descended to about fifty or sixty meters, there was a slight movement in the flora again. Shi Ling people thought it was another 'flying squirrel' that climbed up, and they didn't pay much attention to it, but soon Shi Ling people realized that something was wrong.
The 'flying squirrel' is curious but wary of humans, and it does not climb that close to humans. The thing under the flora was completely unalert, and it sped from under the flora towards the Stone Ling Man.
Realizing that it was not right, Shi Ling Man immediately stopped, pulled the assault rifle from behind, and the moment Shi Ling Man opened the insurance, the things under the plant community suddenly pounced. The things under the plant community were indeed not the 'flying squirrels' that the Shiling people had encountered before, but two murderous vines that couldn't run out of nowhere.
The two plants let out terrible screams as soon as they were exposed to the light, and it was clear that the thing was very afraid of the sun. Before he could shoot, Shi Lingren kicked violently on the plant community, and his body swayed instantly. His swing immediately caused a gray killing plant to fall into the air, and this plant screamed and fell off the cliff, but it was also this swing that made Shi Ling people involuntarily face another gray plant.
The Shi Ling man crashed into the killing vine and swung away from the cliff with nowhere to borrow. The branches of the killing vine squirmed wildly in mid-air, and he was ready to kill Shi Lingren, and in a short moment, Shi Lingren reached out violently and grabbed the killing vine fiercely.
In an instant, the branches of the root of the killing vine were fiercely wrapped around Shi Lingren's hand. The branches tightened like daggers, trying to plunge into the flesh of the Stone Ling man. Shi Ling's muscles tensed instantly, and the branches seemed to be entangled in the rocks, and they couldn't penetrate Shi Ling's arms at all.
At the same time, Shi Lingren clenched his palms violently. No matter how great the power of this killing vine is, it cannot be greater than the power of a magnetic field. The touch in his hand was like grasping a ball of tight meat, and a 'squeak' sound appeared from the palm of Shi Lingren's hand, and then the killer vine immediately let out a painful scream.
The sunlight in this huge clearing and the sheer power of the Shiling people made the killer vine miserable. The fallen plant on the ground was dying, and it didn't even have the strength to crawl in the continuous sunlight. Several 'flying squirrels' gathered around the plant and waited, and after a while it seemed to be certain that the plant had no power to fight back. Several 'flying squirrels' pounced on it, tearing it to pieces in an instant with the terrible screams of the killer vine.
Several 'flying squirrels' tore the plant to pieces, but instead of eating it, they let its remains remain there. Soon after, the wreckage slowly turned black and withered in the sunlight, and soon became harmless.
Shiling people remembered that the record of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas in the Book of North Mountains": Danxun Mountain...... There are beasts, its shape is like a mouse, and the head of the elk, its sound is like a dog, with its tail flying, it is not picked, and it can ban a hundred poisons. Such as a rat, a rabbit's head, can fly with a tail. Its theory was first seen in the pre-Qin period. These flying squirrels are clearly atavistic!
The killing vine on the cliff that was caught in the hands of the Shi Ling people was about to be pinched and exploded by the Shi Ling people, and at this time, the plant suddenly screamed, and there was a huge mouth at the root, and the Shi Ling people actually saw sharp teeth in this mouth. The huge mouth was cracked, and then it bit into Shi Lingren's finger.
"meow!" Shi Ling didn't dare to use his fingers to test the bite force of this plant, and with a loud scolding, Shi Ling shook his hand fiercely and smashed the plant towards the killing vine. ""Ditiantai" Tai: Small to big, Jiheng. The ninth day of the first month: pull out the maoru, with its cunning, auspicious. Ninety-two: Bao Famine, use Feng River, do not leave behind, die of friends, and still have to be in the Bank of China. Ninety-three: No peace, no return, no blame. Don't be merciful, be blessed with food. Sixty-four: Pian Pian is not rich, and his neighbors are not abstained. Sixty-five: Emperor Yi returned to his sister to benefit Yuanji. Upper six: The city is restored to the god, do not use the teacher. Tell your life from the city, and be stingy. Hexagram clues have to be hit on the ground! ”
I watched Shi Lingren run all the way over, and the bodyguards became vigilant, and Shi Lingren's mouth was "Run!" At this moment, the anomaly reappeared. The shadow of the giant vine jumped closer.
A large amount of vine juice emerged from it, ravaging the dry surface of the cliff.
In the shadows of heavy oil rose a dozen prostrate black beasts...... It's the bodyguards who were captured by the eight-legged vine monster before.
These former bodyguards were now covered in boiling water, revealing strong muscles that were blood-red, and dark red veins and green tendons were wrapped around them like a net.
A few of them didn't even have skulls, and their gray-white brains were completely exposed! Bai Sensen's canine teeth open and close under the breath......
There are a few bodies that seem to be made of burning charcoal, and they inadvertently burst out with sparks as they move......
Several crawling arms produce killer vine-like blood vessels with venomous vesicles......
Even though they had completely distorted their shapes, the bodyguards still recognized them—
"These mutant animals are actually their former companions......"
I heard a trembling voice.
Holding back the urge to vomit, a flame of hatred erupted from my eyes.
How can this rattan ......
Not to mention killing, it actually turns people into this! Shi Ling reminded me to look closely, the corpse in the front was obviously not the bodyguard who was taken away before, and the corpse in the front was only about two-thirds the size of a normal person, and its whole body was gray and hairless. Huge eyes are three times the size of a normal person, there are no ears, and only two holes remain in the nose. The scarlet mouth took up almost two-thirds of the size of the entire face. This wasn't a person, it was something that the Shi Ling people had seen before in the corpse wrapped in the murder vine. Shi Ling people roughly counted these new forces, and it turned out that they were composed of about twenty corpses of various kinds. Some of these bodies looked relatively fresh, but many of the back half were shriveled. Some of the corpses were crumbling and seemed to fall on their own at any moment. Could it be that the ancients have mutated here?
