Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Trapeze

Probably stimulated by my movements, the "petals" of the oni vine flower began to close slowly. I immediately screamed in horror, "It's going to eat me!" Help me! Help me! At the same time, I raised the short knife in my hand and stabbed hard at the thick petals of the oni vine flower, I thought that with the sharpness of the short knife in my hand, the oni vine flower would be stabbed in an instant.

But what I never expected was that this stab almost broke my wrist, the "petals" of the ghost vine flower were extremely tough, and I stabbed it with all my strength, and it didn't even pierce its skin, but it was extremely elastic, and it was immediately bounced back after the short knife stab. My grip on the knife was as if it had been twisted quickly, and there was a piercing pain in the tendons of my wrist, and I almost threw the knife out of my hand.

I was not reconciled, and swung the short knife again to stab and scratch the petals of the ghost vine flower, but it had no effect at all, and it could not cause any damage to the ghost vine flower at all.

I watched the petals of the ghost vine flower gradually close, getting closer and closer, and a wave of fear and bitterness rose from the bottom of my heart, I didn't expect that I would die in the hands of a plant! Just when I was about to despair, a few gunshots suddenly sounded above me, and I immediately looked up to see that Lantern Xiao was lying on a branch at the nearest point of the main body of the ghost vine flower, raising his gun and shooting.

The branch he was on kept shaking, which also caused Lantern Xiao's hand with the gun to keep shaking, and the bullet shot down without any crosshairs, hitting all the positions of the ghost vine flower, even less than two meters from my feet.

I hurriedly hugged my head and hid, "Lantern Festival, your uncle!" You're on point! Who the hell are you with? ”

Lantern Xiao said while aiming: "Didn't you see that buddy is saving you?" ”

I looked at the spot on the ghost vine flower that was hit by the Lantern Festival, and it worked, small round holes were punched out of the thick petals, and some green juice flowed out of it. I was just about to tell Lantern Xiao to let him continue shooting, but before I could speak, my feet suddenly shook, and I was unsteady on my feet and rolled to the ground.

At the same time, I noticed that the oni vine flower began to tremble for a while, and the most terrifying thing was that the "petals" of the oni vine flower closed faster.

The second uncle above hurriedly waved at the Lantern Festival above, "Don't shoot!" Don't irritate the ghost vine flower anymore! ”

Lantern Xiao also noticed this, "Zhuo Ran, don't worry, let's think of another way to save you right away." With that, several of them worked together to tie a climbing rope to the trunk of a tree not far away, I was more surprised that I didn't see Wen Mo's figure, I think he was probably dealing with those ghost vine trunks on the periphery, and this kind of thing is only he can do.

After the rope was tied, Lantern Xiao grabbed the other end and threw it down at me. I grabbed the rope and tied it around my waist and gestured to the person on top.

The second uncle used another branch as a fixed pulley and pulled me up hard, but after a few pulls, I felt that the rope around my waist had just been tightened. A thick ghost vine trunk suddenly swept out from the side. The second uncle and Lantern Festival hurriedly lowered their heads to dodge, but unfortunately, this swing of the ghost vine broke a large number of branches, including the one with the climbing rope hanging on it.

I watched the rope of salvation fall from the top, and my heart suddenly became furious, and I went crazy and cut and stabbed again at the "petals" that were already half-erect, although I knew that this would have no effect, but I still needed to vent my frustration urgently!

I vented for a while, I looked up, and found that Lantern Xiao was wrapping another climbing rope around a thick branch, it seemed that they wanted to come to the rescue a second time, but I didn't have any hope in my heart at all, even if they could successfully pull me up this time, but they relied purely on the strength of their arms, just through a setting similar to a fixed pulley, and they were still standing on the already unstable branch, this rescue process must be difficult and slow, not to mention whether they could pull me out before the ghost vine flower was completely closed, Even if it is pulled out, there are still a few huge trunk ghost vines, for us, it is also a deadly threat, whether I can be pulled up safely, it is still unknown.

There is no hope in sight, and it can only be resigned to fate. I untied the rope from my waist, tossed it to the side, and sat down, my mind blank. What does death really feel like?

The petals of the oni vine flower behind me are getting closer and closer to me, and the blue sky above me is getting smaller and smaller. I inadvertently reached out and touched it, the mucus oozing out of the ghost vine flower, glowing with pale green color, although there is no taste, but it is very disgusting to the touch, I can't help but think in my heart, it seems that when I die in a while, I am afraid that it will be more ugly!

I was thinking about it when suddenly, there was a burning stinging sensation in my hand, and my heart was immediately shocked, and I immediately realized that these liquids were corrosive! Now I know the way the Oni Vine Flower absorbs its prey, and that's how it will kill me in a moment, I will be encased in huge petals, and then I will be covered with these very corrosive slime, and eventually I will be melted and become the nourishment of the Oni Vine Flower!

The strong fear in my heart suddenly swelled up, and the fear also drove the desire to survive, and it burst out together! I jumped up and looked at the mucus on my clothes that had been oxidized and turned white, and it was clear that the corrosive nature of this mucus should not be underestimated!

I looked up, I believe that the second uncle will definitely try their best to save me, I noticed that Wen Mo also appeared at this time, and was whispering to the second uncle about this. At this time, it is too late to discuss countermeasures.

I shouted at the second uncle: "Second uncle, are you just watching your nephew die here!" If I die, I will give you dreams every day!! ”

"Phew!" The second uncle stretched out his hand and threw the rope to me, "Don't talk nonsense, the second uncle will definitely save you!" After speaking, Wen Mo picked up one end of the rope, but he did not tie it to the tree, but directly tied it to Lantern Xiao's waist.

Lantern Xiao also had a confused expression, and just wanted to ask, the second uncle took out something from his bag again, as if it was two large hemp thunderbolts tied together. But I clearly know that this is definitely not a firecracker, and there is only one possibility for the second uncle to take it with him, and that is explosives! I was shocked, and said that the second uncle seemed to want to blow up this ghost vine flower, but what should I do!!

The second uncle pointed to the end of the rope that was thrown down for me, "Catch it!" Tie it around your waist! Fast! "I didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly did so.

But when I tied the rope and looked up again, I was surprised to find that the petals of the oni vine flower seemed to be closing faster, and there was only a small round hole left in the top of my head. I hurriedly shouted to my second uncle, "I'm tied, pull it quickly!" ”

At this time, I saw that the second uncle looked at Wenmo with some concern, Wenmo nodded lightly, and then reached out and picked up the explosives in the second uncle's hand, and then I was horrified to see that he actually lit the fuse, I was so frightened that I shouted: "Wenmo, what are you going to do!" I haven't gone up yet!! ”

But Wenmo didn't listen to my protest at all, aimed at the gap in the "petals" on the top of my head, and threw it down. Wen Mo's kung fu was particularly accurate, and the explosives passed through the round hole that was about to close and fell directly under my feet.

I watched the explosive fuse under my feet still sparkling. I was stupid, even if I started pulling up now, it would not have been possible to pull me out of the explosion in such a short period of time. I hurriedly raised my foot to step on it, but how could the fuse of this explosive be extinguished! I felt like I was about to vomit blood!

The Lantern Festival above also shouted anxiously, "I said how did you ......?"

But before Lantern Xiao's words were finished, he was kicked down by Wen Mo, and at the same time, Wen Mo also grabbed the rope and jumped down together, the weight of the two people, especially a heavyweight like Lantern Xiao, coupled with the power of free fall, the rope around my waist suddenly tightened, I felt like a trapeze artist performing by an acrobatic troupe, and the whole person was pulled up in an instant, because the speed of pulling up was too fast, and even almost flashed my waist.

After I was pulled out of the ghost vine flower, I looked back and saw that the huge petals had completely closed, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

And just as I was pulled up high, I seemed to hear the sound of Lantern Festival scolding, coming from a messy branch not far away.

In less than a few seconds, I was pulled to the height where the second uncle was, and the second uncle grabbed me, and together with Anado, quickly hid behind a thick tree trunk.

And at this time, the explosives below went off, and a huge wave of air swept through. I was so frightened that I hurriedly ducked my head to dodge, but luckily we found a place to hide, otherwise, we would have been swept under the tree by the air current, and we would have fallen badly.

After everything calmed down, I cautiously poked my head out from behind the trunk, only to find that the ghost vine flowers that had been closed together just now had been completely blown apart, and the huge "petals" fell to the side.

I breathed a sigh of relief at this scene, and then we slowly slid to the ground along the branches that had been broken by the ghost vines or broken by the dynamite waves.

As soon as my feet hit the ground, I found myself unable to stand any longer, so I sat down against the trunk of the tree and let out a long breath. The second uncle came over and patted me on the shoulder, "Good job!" ”

I smiled wryly and shook my head, "Don't praise me, what am I doing." As I spoke, I pointed to my legs, "My legs are weak!" ”

At this time, Lantern Xiao and Wenmo walked over, and while Lantern Xiao walked, he was still unrelenting, "Boss, I keep calling you boss every day!" You just treat me like this, don't say a word to me about this kind of thing, just kick it when you come up, if it weren't for the fact that you saved us before, I would definitely not be finished with you! ”
