Midnight! There was a typographical error and rearranging! ――

The sudden appearance of this scene frightened several people, and Lao Wu's eyes were even straighter. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw that the small black claw-like thing that was wrapped around Hu's big leg was cracked, like two small doors that could be opened and closed, and the angle of the candlelight was just right, and he could see that there was a black liquid in the open little mouth, and with a slight shaking, a little dripping on the masonry also oozed out, and then a puff of black smoke came out, leaving several small black holes in the steps of the large stone slab.

This black liquid seems to be very corrosive, and if the few drops that oozed out just now fall on Hu Da's legs, it is estimated that they will burn his legs out of holes.

"Danger!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi dared to reach over and grab the root of the tree at this time, Lao Wu shouted to stop him, but it was too late.

Seeing with his own eyes that Xiao Qi was about to touch the roots of the tree that still had black liquid, Lao Wu immediately grabbed the shovel and slashed it horizontally under Xiao Qi's arm, and before Xiao Qi touched it, it had already been broken by the roots. Lao Wu was sober at this time and reacted quickly, and he erected the shovel surface at the moment of splitting the root, and then sprayed a large amount of black liquid from the incision of the root, with a burning smell blocked by the shovel surface and splashed to a place where no one was, and suddenly the sound on that side was like a boiling pot, rising a large amount of black mist, and the choking person's eyes were red and his lungs were in sharp pain.

Several people hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with their clothes, and held their breath in the painful rain, and finally waited until the black fog was blown away by the wind in the cave before slowly opening their eyes. Everyone should have inhaled a puff or two of black mist at that time, and their eyes were bloodshot and their faces were blue at this time. He showed signs of poisoning, but he did not feel unwell.

The black liquid does not seem to harm the roots. Instead, they corroded the cave wall behind the roots of the tree into a large hole, and the earth and masonry turned into a slimy paste. It flows slowly down the side.

Hu Da covered his head for a long time before he dared to raise his head, what happened just now was too fast, and it was already over before he could react. At this time, it should be fine, but he suddenly realized that the tree roots wrapped around his feet had moved again, and he quickly looked back to see that it was Xiao Qi who was helping him break it.

After Hu Da Arm got out of trouble, Lao Wu carefully squatted there to look at the tree roots wrapped around Hu Da Arm's legs. The small curved thin black tree roots were as different from the thick and thick pipes around them, and Lao Wu didn't dare to touch them just now. It's because it's like a vine, wrapping around Hu Dabao's ankles. Upon closer inspection, I found that the roots of the tree seemed to be soft but tenacious, and the inside was hollow, and black water would flow out of the fracture if you pinched it gently.

Hu Dawei said in horror: "Hey, I said! What the hell is this? It scared the hell out of me."

Lao Wu wanted to scold him angrily and cause trouble again, but before he could say anything, he heard a sound of friction around him, like the creaking sound of trees swaying in the wind. When I looked up, I saw that the tree roots hanging down from the top of the cave were shaking slightly, and I didn't notice these hanging roots just now, which were very similar to the one that wrapped around Hu Da's arms just now. At the ends, a small ball bulges out to look like a small fist.

As soon as I thought of this, the small fists at the end of the strings of hanging roots slowly opened, and black juice flowed down from the small mouth in the fist. Landing on the steps makes a "bang" sound.

Lao Wu was stunned, watching the dripping black juice scorching and corroding the steps, and suddenly Hu Dafang shouted: "Lao Wu, get out of the way!" ”

This sudden suddenness. woke up Lao Wu, and only found out at this time. There was still a tree root hanging from the top of his head, and the small claws at the end were slowly spreading. A drop of black juice could be clearly seen dripping down his head.

This time Lao Wu didn't react, he just stared at the terrible drop of black juice with straight eyes, but just when it was about to fall on his head, suddenly someone stretched out his arm to block the top of Lao Wu's head, with a burning sound, Lao Wu quickly rolled away, turned his head and looked back, the person who helped him block the black juice with his arm just now was actually Professor Guan.

Lao Wu originally thought that Xiao Qi or Da Niu helped him block it, but he never imagined how it could be Professor Guan.

Professor Guan was lying on the back of Da Niu, his arm still maintaining the posture just now, but his face had become distorted because of the severe pain, Da Niu reacted at this time, quickly put him down, raised Professor Guan's arm to see, and was burned by black juice A hole pierced up and down.

"Hurry up, get out of here!" Professor Guan tilted his head weakly and said to Lao Wu.

Hu Dawei shouted in horror: "We have all on our heads!" It's time for your own life! What are you thinking about stupidly! Run! He dragged up Lao Wu, who was sitting on the ground, and did not forget to bring the bag containing dry food, and he usually had to run down the steps to go back to the road if he was not killed.

Xiao Qi helped Da Niu to carry Professor Guan again, and hurriedly ran up. But Professor Kwan raised his arm and pointed to it and said, "Don't, don't run up there, don't go."

Hu Dazhu heard Professor Guan speak behind him, but ignored him, thinking that if he didn't run, he would wait to be burned to death by the black water? But after running a few steps, his eyes were black, and then he remembered that the candle was being held by the person behind him, but he couldn't stand his feet and took a few steps up, and he hit his head on something, and Lao Wu didn't stop behind him and hit Hu Da's back.

"Second brother, run! Don't stop! Xiao Qi found that the two were standing still, so he shouted to them to run.

But Hu Dazhu turned around and said: "It's over, how to make the roots of the tree full in front, I can't get by!" ”

Waiting for Xiao Qi to come over, he handed the candle to Lao Wu, and Lao Wu hurriedly stretched it out to illuminate it. Sure enough, the top of the stairs was overgrown with a large number of staggered tree roots, and if you looked closely, you could still see that those black tree roots were slowly turning, they seemed to be alive, shrinking and squeezing the tunnel.

"How, what to do?" Hu Dazhu looked back at his brothers and asked.

Professor Guan panted hard, his whole body trembled, and finally sent a sentence: "Go down, you can pass." ”

After listening to Professor Guan's words, Hu Dabao and Xiao Qi went to see Lao Wu. Lao Wu gasped and smashed the roots of the tree that blocked the retreat a few times with the shovel, but those roots were very thick, and only a few shallow marks were left after being knocked with the shovel, so he couldn't grit his teeth and say to everyone: "No tricks, let's go down!"
