Chapter 276: Race Against Time
Just after Zhou Yuefeng rescued Lao Mo and cut off the roots under him, both of them had the strength to save the crooked-nosed second child next to them, but where the two of them were standing, countless roots immediately stretched out, and these roots were slowly penetrating into the bodies of the two people.
Zhou Yuefeng's shoes have been penetrated by this whisker, and at the same time, his feet and neck are also tightly entangled by these whiskers, and he is looking for a gap to drill into, and the old man is even worse, he has already been penetrated by these roots several times, and there are still many roots that were cut off by Zhou Yuefeng left in his body, and these are too late to deal with them, and new roots have reached into his flesh.
The old man grinned and shouted, "Young Master Feng, save me!" Zhou Yuefeng saw that the big thing was not good, the feet and neck of the old man had begun to bleed, if it continued like this, it would not be long before this person would be deeply inserted into his body by these roots, and even if he was rescued, he would be powerless.
Zhou Yuefeng looked at the ground under his feet, there was a distance from them, now if he jumped down with his own gravity, he would definitely be able to pull the old man down, as long as he opened a distance, it would be no problem to cut off those roots in his body, but if the two of them really jumped down, it would be troublesome to save the crooked nose after a while.
Because the distance between this tree and the tree is very small, it is very simple to jump from one tree to another, but this tree is very high, if you go down to the ground, and then continue to climb to another tree, it is not so easy, climbing a tree is simple, but in the process of climbing, the hand should firmly grasp the trunk, in the process will definitely be the roots that grow from the tree into the body, and then may not be sucked dry before climbing the tree.
Zhou Yuefeng is now chopping these roots under his feet without stopping in his hands, while thinking about how to save the old man who has been completely submerged by the roots, at this time, he looked at the crooked nose next to him, he has been completely fixed on the tree by those roots, and now Zhou Yuefeng must immediately come up with a foolproof plan, otherwise if it drags on, not only will neither of these two people be able to save him, but his own life may also be here.
He looked at the old man who was constantly invaded by the roots, and his heart was horizontal, thinking that he could save one by one, so he immediately jumped up hard, and cut off the roots that had entered his shoes and ankles with a click, and then he jumped down with a jack drop, and in the process of jumping, he firmly held the arm of the old man in his hand.
Zhou Yuefeng grabbed the old man with his left hand, and his right hand slowly touched the frog sword, slowly raised it, and went up to shine on the exposed roots is a sword.
only heard the sound of "click", and the two of them fell in response, and sat directly on the ground, because the old man was pulled down by Zhou Yuefeng, and he fell down and smashed the whole person on Zhou Yuefeng's body. The tendrils that had reached into his skin were still there, making him hurt and itch, and he quickly stood up as soon as he landed.
Zhou Yuefeng also stood up and said to Lao Mo: "Brother, you wait here first, and quickly pull out these roots in your body one by one, otherwise the vitality of this tree root is extremely strong, and if a small tree grows in your body, it will be troublesome." The old man nodded.
Zhou Yuefeng's calves and below are all those tree roots, he knows how terrible these things are, if they don't get them out in time, these things can easily grow in the blood, and then grow small trees on the surface of the human body, if this is the case, then even if this person leaves those rootless trees, he will die without a place to bury.
He hurriedly used enough internal strength, and forced all these tree roots in his body out of his body with the practice of Taoist exercises, only to see Zhou Yuefeng forcefully luck his qi from top to bottom, and those tree roots fell from his body obediently one by one, and the fallen roots automatically dried up when they saw the soil.
The roots of these trees are inherently soil-wetting, which is why these trees have no roots at the bottom, they only need to absorb blood and nutrients from the corpse to survive, and they themselves are soil-draining. After Zhou Yuefeng cleaned these tree roots in his body, he looked at Lao Mo, this internal strength can only be used by himself, and now he can only rely on himself, after all, it is not difficult to pull out the roots of the tree, Zhou Yuefeng believes that Lao Mo can do it well.
But a new problem also arises, that is, the branch where the second crooked nose is located is some distance from the ground, how to get up? If you just climbed it with your bare hands, you wouldn't be able to get caught in the tree before you got there.
At this time, he saw the dried roots on the ground, and thought that this thing had soil drainability, which would be easy to do, just let his body be covered with soil, but the soil here is very dry, and it may be a little difficult to get it all over his body, Zhou Yuefeng raised his eyes and looked at it, and found that the situation of the second child with a crooked nose was very dangerous, and some roots were already drilling into his neck.
If these tendrils get into a vital place, such as the brain, trachea, or heart, or other vital organs, the person will not be able to survive.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out a piece of rune paper that he carried with him, thinking that it was okay that although the Qiankun bag was given to the horse monkey, he took a few rune papers with him just in case, held the rune paper in his left hand, and reached out to his mouth with his right hand to bite his fingers, and drew a rune on the rune paper like a dragon and a snake.
This talisman is nothing else, it is the water spirit talisman, he threw this talisman paper out of thin air, and immediately burned it, with the burning of the talisman paper, it immediately rained, Zhou Yuefeng controlled the direction of these rains again, so that all the raindrops were sprinkled on the ground in front of him, and he immediately didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and lay directly on the ground.
Zhou Yuefeng kept rolling on the ground, as he rolled, the soil became mud after being stained with water, wrapped layer by layer on Zhou Yuefeng's body, and after a while Zhou Yuefeng was already like a clay man, at this time he collected the water spirit rune, but his pocket was also blocked by the mud, and he threw the spirit rune to the old man who was about to pull out the roots.
"Then, take this talisman, we will use it later." Zhou Yuefeng took advantage of the fact that the soil on his body did not fall, and immediately climbed the tree with a crooked nose, and sure enough, after Zhou Yuefeng's body was covered with mud, those roots grew out, and he automatically avoided Zhou Yuefeng.
With the protection of this layer of soil, Zhou Yuefeng easily climbed to the place where the second crooked nose was, and he immediately grabbed the crooked nose second, this time it was much simpler, as Zhou Yuefeng's hand reached out to him, those roots automatically came out of the body of the crooked nose second.
It's just that every root is covered with blood, and it looks like the crooked nose is not lightly injured. Zhou Yuefeng quickly drove away the roots on his body, and then grabbed his two arms with both hands, and shouted to the old man below: "Old man, have the roots been pulled out?" Unplug it and take your second brother down! ”
Lao Mo quickly got up from the ground and replied, "It's clean!" With the efforts of the two, the crooked-nosed second child was finally saved. At this time, Zhou Yuefeng was going to save him from the tree of the Japanese soldier according to the previous agreement, and then joined the blue-eyed Ah Da there.
But at this time, an accident happened, Zhou Yuefeng let the water spirit talisman held by the old man of the man, I don't know when it flew into the air all of a sudden, it may be that the method done by Zhou Yuefeng before has not been exhausted, and he flew up when the old man came to pick up the second man with a crooked nose just now.
The water spirit talisman played a role, and it immediately started to rain, which was good, and the mud on Zhou Yuefeng's body turned into mud soup as the rain washed away. Without this protective film, the roots on the book began to attack Zhou Yuefeng hungrily, Zhou Yuefeng was just about to pick up the frog sword to resist, but the tree stained with rain was unusually smooth, and Zhou Yuefeng fell down without stepping on it steadily.
Fortunately, he has practiced, and he didn't fall this time, but it is even more difficult to go up to save the Japanese soldiers, and at this time, the blue-eyed Ah Da has just rescued a bald-eared third child, and both of them have been pierced by the roots of the tree like blood gourds, falling from the other side.
Zhou Yuefeng rubbed his feet and neck, and said to the second child with a crooked nose and the old man: "You two go and help your eldest brother and third brother pull out the roots on their bodies, otherwise it will be easier for these roots to survive if they are covered in blood." When they heard this, they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately ran to the two brothers, who could no longer see human appearances, and helped them pull out the remaining roots on their bodies.
And Zhou Yuefeng didn't care about the pain of the fall on his body, while the water spirit rune was still working, he immediately lay on the ground and covered his body with mud, and then he collected the water spirit rune, this time the water spirit rune was almost exhausted, and then hurriedly ran under the tree where the cherry tree was located in three steps and two steps, and climbed to the top of the tree in a few clicks.
In the same way as saving the crooked-nosed second child, he drove all the roots on Sakuragi's body clean, and then he asked a few people to pick up Sakuragi underneath and saved Sakuragi neatly. Zhou Yuefeng was about to save the Japanese soldier, but the facts told him that he didn't need it anymore.
Just as Zhou Yuefeng was about to move towards another tree, when the blue-eyed Ah Da was picking up the cherry tree, he said to Zhou Yuefeng: "Young Master Feng, you can come down too, then the Japanese soldiers are no longer good." Zhou Yuefeng was covered in mud, and he didn't hear what he said clearly, and the blue-eyed Ah Da saw that he didn't hear clearly, so he went up and pulled Zhou Yuefeng down.
As soon as he landed, Zhou Yuefeng immediately picked off the dirt on his ears and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong?" ”
Blue-eyed Ah Da said: "That little soldier has been delayed for too long, it can't be done anymore, I have just seen his soul leave, you don't have to work hard." At this time, Zhou Yuefeng looked at the Japanese soldier, and saw that his whole body had been penetrated by roots, blood was dripping continuously, and even roots grew out of his eyes, mouth, nostrils and ears.
There are a few roots drilled out of his chest, that place is where the heart is, Zhou Yuefeng patted Sakuragi's shoulder, Sakuragi is also very weak now, he looked at the subordinate and said: "It's all because of saving me that I lost time, he is my most effective subordinate." ”
