Volume 5 The Land of Gold Chapter 24 The Flesh Tree
I heard the voice, and while running in a panic, I turned my head and looked back curiously, only to see that the vine that had been cut off and long suddenly jumped out of the gap with a branch with a slightly thin root, but exactly the same as its body, and chased after it with all its might.
Kuroko turned his back to us, fighting as he retreated, finally delaying its catch-up. Time seemed incomparably long in the process of fleeing for my life in such a panic, and when the vine finally gave up and retreated, I thought it had been more than an hour, but when I looked at my watch, I found that it had only been more than ten minutes.
Seeing that it was barely safe, everyone immediately gasped and stopped, the situation of several old people was relatively good, Liu Jing was not bad, and I, a person who has hated sports since childhood, needless to mention, the degree of badness is needless to mention, for a few seconds, I almost felt that I was about to suffocate.
The fat man shouted, "Damn, what the hell is that, what a wicked thing." ”
Kuroko put away the green knife, "It should be a strange creature, there are many dangers in the 100,000 mountains, so you must be extremely vigilant." ”
The smoker put down the man who had been knocked unconscious by the monkey and woke him up by patting him on the cheek, and as soon as the man woke up and saw us, he bounced away and was about to attack.
I hadn't noticed this fact when I looked at it from a distance, but now when I looked closely, I realized that he was about the same age as my grandfather, but he had dark skin and looked older.
"Who are you?" He asked viciously, holding the short knife he had found out of nowhere.
Kuroko stepped forward and said coldly, "We saved you, the exact question should be who you are?" ”
After hearing that we had saved him, the man's hand holding the short knife lowered slightly, but his eyes kept wandering around everyone, and it took a while for him to put away the short knife as if he had given up resistance, and said softly, "Thank you." ”
Seeing that he was no longer hostile, the fat man immediately asked curiously, "Do you know what that evil thing is?" ”
The man glanced at the fat man, sighed and replied, "You people are here to find the kingdom of gold, so why bother with that." ”
Hearing this, the big head glanced at Kuroko, who asked, "How do you know that we are looking for the Kingdom of Gold?" ”
"Huh." The man sneered, "Recently, those who dare to venture into the 100,000 mountains in groups are basically to find the country of gold, seeing you dressed like this, is it still difficult to guess?" ”
"And what are you and your companions looking for?"
When the words fell, I suddenly saw the man turn his head and glance at Heizi suddenly, and for a while, as if asking tentatively, "A few of you have some Beijingers' accents mixed with the smell of Beijingers, have you ever stayed there?" ”
Hey, I couldn't help but get a little impatient when I looked at this guy we saved him, and instead he didn't show any gratitude, he always answered questions with questions.
Kuroko nodded and did not speak.
After receiving an affirmative answer, the man said to himself, "I have also stayed there for a long time, but in the blink of an eye, I haven't been back for decades." Never mind. Although I don't want to be saved by you at all, for the sake of the boat, I will answer your questions. The thing we local people just called the meat tree, is a very, very valuable Chinese medicinal material, priceless, more expensive than the same weight of gold, eating it can play a real role in prolonging life. Strictly speaking, our team is like a construction team, some people need 100,000 precious things in the mountains, and we think that if we can do it, we will take the job and get paid. It's as simple as that. (To be continued......)
