Chapter 67: The Blood Cedar Tree
Ma Qian lay groggily on the beach for two or three hours, and Zhao Qingmai woke him up and whispered a few words to him. Ma Qianyi's eyes widened, "How is it possible, there is blood on the tree?" ”
Just a few dozen meters behind the side where everyone is resting, on the edge of the stone cliff, there are many strange trees growing. When they first arrived at the beach, several people saw that there were many plant-like things here, but because of the excitement of seeing the sea at that time, coupled with the fatigue of their bodies, they did not pay attention to those plants.
Zhao Qingmai woke up just now, went there to take a break, and found an abnormal situation.
After listening to Zhao Qingmai's description, Ma Qian felt that the matter was very serious, and he followed Zhao Qingmai to this plant. The flashlight shines, it is a small tree, two or three meters tall, with gray leaves and a black trunk.
The tree looks like a cedar tree, but it doesn't grow tall enough. In the interior of this huge mountain, there is no fertile soil and no sunlight, so what does this tree rely on for photosynthesis? And where do you take root to absorb the nutrients?
Look at the roots of the tree, all rooted in the crevices of the ground rocks, no soil can grow, the magic of the tree species, the absolute tree is strong!
There are a lot of trees around, clusters of trees, where the flashlight rays reach, and this kind of trees is continuous. They all grow on the side of the cliff, and it is estimated that there are many such strange trees in the entire circle of the underground sea. It doesn't grow tall, it can't be any taller, and it's almost reaching the dome above the underground sea.
The gray leaves are hard, hard to touch with your hands, and there is a layer of fluff on the surface, which is all stained on the fingers.
"Look here, there are traces of blood", Ma Qian looked in the direction of Zhao Qingmai's finger, and on the trunk of a tree, there were indeed traces of red blood. The blood was also drying up, and when you looked up along the trunk, there were traces of blood all over the trunk.
What kind of animal's blood will coat the entire trunk of a tree? What kind of cedar is this? Will it grow in this dark mountain cave?
The branches of this cedar tree are not luxuriant, and the gray leaves are ringed on each branch. The strangest thing is that at the top of each branch there is something similar to a "flower bud", pink, about the size of a fist, which contrasts sharply with the gray leaves and black trunk.
"Could it be that this strange tree still blooms, and it doesn't bear fruit?" Ma Qian felt very puzzled, Zhao Qingmai was also the first time to see such a strange tree, and he was always amazed.
The most important thing is where the blood comes from, how can it be on the trunk of a tree, is it human blood or some kind of animal blood, could it be that there was a battle or massacre here not long ago? Who will it be? Is it Huaxiong, the Self-Defense Forces, Taiwa Jialiang, or the Hanging Mountain Stiff?
I thought that I would be safe if I found the underground sea, but it seems that otherwise, new dangers may have just begun. Ma Qianyi turned around and saw a big white face, startled, take a closer look, I'll go, it's Zhao Baixiong.
"Zhao Baixiong, can you give me a move, you are standing behind me quietly, not afraid that I will shoot you. When did you come? Ma Qian glared at Zhao Baixiong, only to find that Lao Niu was also following him, it seems that the two brothers came together.
"How do I know what you're doing here? I fell asleep and woke up with urine, and wanted to stand up for convenience, but as soon as I got up, I found that you and my brother were gone, and I was afraid that you were in danger, so I called out to the cow to find you, and when I saw you two sneaking around in this forest, I came to see what was going on. You two don't sleep, what are you doing here, you found gold? ”
Zhao Baixiong never forgot about gold.
Zhao Qingmai said: "Where did the gold come from, I also came here to solve it, and accidentally found a large amount of blood stains on this strange trunk, so I called Ma Qian to come and take a look."
As soon as they heard that there were blood stains, Zhao Baixiong and Lao Niu's hearts also chuckled, how could the blood be smeared on the trunk, and the two of them also came up and looked at it carefully. Lao Niu dipped his finger in a little blood and smelled it, put it in his mouth and licked it, shook his head, and said: "This is not human blood, this blood is very strange, it has a sweet taste, it also smells of blood, it should be the blood of some special animal."
When the three of them heard this, they were relieved a lot, it was not human blood, that is, there were no dead people here, and the others might still be safe.
Zhao Baixiong also smelled a little blood, and said, "Burmese boy, don't lie to people, I smell this blood very much, why do you say that this is not human blood, isn't this the blood of a person with diabetes?" ”
Lao Niu shook his head, did not answer Zhao Baixiong, but moved his feet to observe the other trees. After seeing three or four, he motioned for everyone to come over.
"We've been fooled, it may not be blood, you see, every tree trunk here has this liquid here, it may not be blood, it's just blood-like resin." Ma Qian and the others came to take a look, and they were also surprised, the trees in this area did have this kind of liquid like blood, and they were all almost dry.
"How can resin smell of blood?" Zhao Baixiong still had a lot of questions, and Ma Qian and Zhao Qingmai were also puzzled. Blood flows from the tree, is this tree a higher life?
The four of them acted separately and inspected a large area of cedar trees within a radius of 100 meters, and there were blood stains on each tree, which was really strange, this was obviously a kind of cedar tree, how could it bleed? When does it bleed, and what does it come out of?
There was blood on the tree, how strange, how terrifying. What a scary thing it is to have such a strange tree growing in such a strange place, and the trunk is covered with blood.
"Qian, look under the tree!" Zhao Baixiong reminded everyone in one sentence, and the three of them carefully looked at the bottom of the blood fir tree and found the transparent shells of many beetles. This is clearly the molt of some kind of bug, thin, translucent, each molt the size of a grain of rice.
I'll go, this is the shell of the blood creeper, Ma Qian was shocked, "What does this blood fir tree have to do with the blood creeper?" How could there be so many bloody creeping bodies under the tree? No, this blood-fir tree is one of the hosts of the bloodcreeper! ”
"What is a host?"
Zhao Bai could stare at his eyes wide, with a blank expression.
No one answered him, the problem was serious, and several people gathered together, their eyes shivering. At first, I thought it was an ordinary forest, this was an ordinary cedar tree. Now it seems that it is not so simple, this kind of blood crepe tree should have some kind of connection with the blood creeper, could it be that this blood cedar tree is the mother of the blood creeper, and those blood creepers all climbed out of this bloody cedar tree?
"Let's burn this place with a fire, this kind of blood tree is too cautious, as soon as I see this tree, I think of the blood crawler, and my whole body hurts! What can I do if a large group of blood crawlers crawl out of the trunk of the tree for a while? Zhao Baixiong shouted, his eyes carefully focused on this blood-colored forest.
"We can't burn, we can't act until we figure it out, I don't know how many of these blood fir trees are on this underground seaside, once they are all burned, we can't escape, and at the bottom of the dome here, if the heat exceeds the standard, there may be a big explosion, and then the mountain will be blown up, and we may not even find a bone." Calmly fishing back at Zhao Baixiong, Ma Qian glared at Zhao Baixiong and motioned him to speak less. Zhao Baixiong stuck out his tongue and signaled that he had more mouths.
