Chapter 453: Tree Man

Chen Ziyang, who fell backwards, instinctively stretched out his right hand, wanting to grab something, but this time, he did not hold the Five Emperor Money in his hand. When Yang Lei rescued before, Chen Ziyang had already put away the Five Emperors money. So this time, his waving right hand only grabbed the air, and his whole body fell backwards quickly.

Because things happened too suddenly, Yang Lei beside Chen Ziyang was unprepared, and it wasn't until Chen Ziyang completely detached from the surface of the plant that he showed this abnormal situation, but it was too late.

Seeing Chen Ziyang falling downward, Yang Lei also instinctively stretched out his hand and wanted to catch him, but Yang Lei's movements were a step slower, and his hand was empty. Fortunately, there was a rope connecting the two people, Chen Ziyang only felt that his body shook violently, and the rope between him and Yang Lei was straightened.

Yang Lei, who grabbed the air with one hand, was now grabbing a spike with his right hand, bearing the weight of Chen Ziyang's fall, but under the pull of the rope, the falling Chen Ziyang suddenly changed direction, he no longer fell down, but swung towards the rock wall in front of him by the pull of the rope, and at this time, in front of him, there were several long spikes.

Seeing this situation, Yang Lei, who wanted to help, couldn't use his strength, the strength of his whole body had already been used on his feet and right hand, if Yang Lei's strength was loosened, it was very likely that the two of them would fall together, so when he saw Chen Ziyang pounce on the spikes in front of him, he could only be anxious.

Xiao Ren on the other side saw this situation, and he knew that it was too late to climb down to block Chen Ziyang, who was only a few dozen centimeters away from the spikes in front of him.

Fortunately, Xiao Ren's reaction was relatively fast, he hurriedly shook his hand, took off the backpack from behind his back, and quickly threw it to the side, Xiao Ren's backpack was intolerable between Chen Ziyang and the spikes. Chen Ziyang's body fell heavily on the backpack.

Because Xiao Ren's backpack was loaded with some relatively hard objects, Chen Ziyang was not injured this time, and the things in the backpack cleverly blocked the spikes, allowing Chen Ziyang to lean on the surface of the root system of these plants intact.

Seeing Chen Ziyang once again save the day, Yang Lei shouted to him in a tone that was almost about to cry: "Er Yang, my ancestor, you are my own grandfather, what's wrong with you now, do you want to jump down when you see a high place, are you addicted to jumping." ”

"Stop talking nonsense, get me up quickly." Chen Ziyang said very scaredly, and at the same time he was thinking about the hallucination just now. This is not a good thing, every time this hallucination appears, I have entered a state of unconsciousness, which is very dangerous, and it is easy to go wrong, and this situation has occurred twice in a row, maybe next time my good luck will be used up.

Therefore, during the rest of the journey, Chen Ziyang was extremely careful, and even when he crawled on the surface of the plant, he did not dare to look in the direction of the cave at all, for fear that he would have similar hallucinations after seeing the strange statue of the woman.

Now a few people finally understand why Instructor Liu's crawling degree was faster and then slower before, precisely because it is not easy to crawl on the surface of these plants.

Although the spikes on these plants can be used to borrow strength, so that it is not too difficult for people to crawl, just be careful not to let these spikes scratch their bodies, but this is precisely the difficulty.

Because it is necessary to avoid the tips of the spikes of these plants, everyone should bend their bodies into an arch as much as possible when crawling to avoid the spikes on the plants. In this case, in addition to the strength of the hands and feet, each person needs to allocate a part of the strength to the waist.

As time goes on, as the distance climbed, in addition to the soreness of the hands and feet, the stiffness and pain in the lower back become more unbearable. And it is impossible for several people to move their waists back and forth to relieve the soreness in the waist, so this feeling of stiffness in the waist has always existed. It is for this reason that the team's degree has slowed down.

Because Chen Ziyang almost fell into the abyss below twice in a row, the current Yang Lei firmly locked part of his attention on Chen Ziyang's body, plus he was the last person in the team, and there was no way to crawl according to his habit, so he was the one who consumed the most physical strength in the entire team.

"No, no, brothers, brothers and sisters, rest...... Take a break. Feeling that his hands holding the spikes had been trembling slightly, and after some disobedience, Yang Lei said.

The situation of the other people was not much better, and after hearing Yang Lei's words, all four of them all stopped in unison. After wiping the sweat from the palms of their hands and twisting their waists from side to side a few times, all four of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's almost here, let's hold on a little longer." After seeing that the cave was not far away, the team doctor turned back to a few people.

"The more we rest, the longer we need to stay on the surface of these plants, and the more physically demanding it will be.

"Big sister, I know you're right, but I really can't hold on, if I want to crawl forward, I'll fall, you raise your noble hand and let me rest for two more minutes." Yang Lei said in an almost begging tone while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

At this time, the position of the four people was already very close to the cave, because of the angle, looking at the cave platform where Instructor Liu was from here, the statue of the woman could no longer be seen, so Chen Ziyang secretly glanced at Instructor Liu standing on the platform with the corner of his eye, and his current Instructor Liu's behavior was very strange.

At this time, Instructor Liu was like a fool, standing there stunned, tilting his head, opening his mouth wide, and looking straight into the cave. Instructor Liu's surprised expression looked very ridiculous. But Chen Ziyang didn't laugh, but showed a solemn expression.

What was it that surprised Instructor Liu so much? Although Instructor Liu's behavior was a little abnormal after the lizard tattoo was integrated into his body, he still did not lose his mind.

And Instructor Liu has been fighting for his goal, he shouldn't waste time like this, it seems that something should stop his next move. It seems that the answer to this question will only be known when we get to the place.

After using the last of their strength, and after climbing the rest of the distance, all four of them collapsed on the platform, lying there motionless, only to breathe heavily.

And this time it was very weird, Instructor Liu didn't urge a few people, he still stood there stunned, looking at the inside of the cave.

After feeling that the sore muscles in his body had eased a lot, Chen Ziyang finally mustered up his courage, stood up, and looked in the direction of the cave. What he didn't expect was that this time he saw the statue of this woman again, and there were no hallucinations in his mind.

On the contrary, this time after Chen Ziyang saw the contents of the cave, the expression on his face became as surprised as Instructor Liu, and he was stunned on the spot, leaving only stunned.

The things in the cave are so weird, so weird that people feel a little creepy, so weird that they feel a shock from the depths of their hearts. The rest of the people were all amazed when they saw the contents of the cave. Even they were so surprised that they forgot to ask what was inside the cave.

A half-human-shaped tree trunk grew from the plant roots on the cliff wall at the end of the cave. From the outline of the humanoid trunk, it can be roughly seen that this is a woman, or rather a female tree man, because of the two high protrusions on her chest.

The color of this woman's skin is the same as the surrounding roots, all covered with dry cracks, like the bark of a tree that has been dried for many years, and the facial features of the female tree man are very obvious, with glasses, a nose, lips, ears, and even the shape of the nostrils.

This female tree man only has an upper body, and the tree man grows from a height of more than a meter above the ground, and several roots are connected to the rear below the waist, I don't know if this female tree man has only an upper body, or if this female tree man is a complete human form, but her lower body is squeezed into the plant roots behind her, and she can't see it at all.

Several vine-like strands a few centimeters thick protruded from the female treeman's abdomen and into the stone platform below. Looking down at these vine-like things, Chen Ziyang suddenly saw that the ground here was very strange.

The cave was filled with plant roots except for the ground, but the cave floor was not full of plants, which was very similar to the strange passage before.

However, the floor of the cave is not an ordinary shale rock like a passage, but the same material as the round stone platform and the square stone platform that Chen Ziyang saw before. And this large stone platform is also covered with those groove lines that Chen Ziyang is very familiar with.

These grooves on the ground of the stone platform covered the entire ground, extending from all sides of the ground and converging to the middle of the stone platform, that is, not far in front of Instructor Liu.

At the intersection of the middle of these lines, there is a pattern of two palm-sized eyes, and at the pupil of this eye-shaped pattern, there is a groove.

Although the lines on the stone platform and this groove were covered with a lot of debris and dust, Chen Ziyang could see at a glance that this groove should be used to place diamonds.

"Eryang, what is this? Is it human? Or plants? If it's a human, how can it look like a plant? If this is a plant, why are her facial features so clear and lifelike, just like a living person? After being surprised for a long time, Yang Lei asked in surprise.

Although Chen Ziyang didn't understand the object in front of him very much, from the face of this female tree man, he could see that this woman was the woman who brought diamonds to the ancient country of Sumi in the mural, and it was also the woman who appeared in his mind several times, and it was she who kept calling herself to this place.

At the same time, Chen Ziyang also realized that the root system behind this female tree man was also very unreasonable. Normal plant roots are thicker the closer to the trunk and thinner the farther away from the trunk. After a few people got into the ancient tree, all the roots grew like this.

However, this is not the case with the roots of the plants behind the female tree. Although these roots are not as thick as Chen Ziyang saw before, and these roots are no different from others, and there are spikes growing on them, what Chen Ziyang feels strange is the way these roots grow.

Near the waist of this female tree man, dozens of plant roots grow that spread in all directions. The roots grow from thick to thin, but the thick ones are close to the waist of the female treeman, as if the roots grew from the waist of the female treeman.

The female tree and the root system around her as a whole give the impression that the woman is the trunk of a large tree, and the other roots are the roots that grow from the woman's body.

Just as Chen Ziyang was carefully observing this female tree man, he suddenly appeared that there seemed to be something on the chest of this female tree man.

Although the chest of this female tree man looked no different from other places, Chen Ziyang saw that above this woman's twin peaks, there was an area with a very strange outline. It's as if there's a chameleon that turns into the color of a female treeman's skin and lies there.

Seeing this strange place, Chen Ziyang slowly stepped forward and gently stroked this area with his right hand, wiping off some debris in this area.

"Eryang, you touched the wrong place, you should touch it a little further." Seeing Chen Ziyang's movements, Yang Lei misunderstood what he meant, thinking that Chen Ziyang was taking advantage of this female tree man.

After turning around and glancing at Yang Lei, Chen Ziyang increased the strength of his hand. Under his caressing, the debris covering the area gradually peeled off, revealing a golden plaque in the shape of an eye. Seeing this thing, Chen Ziyang knew that this was the necklace worn by the woman who appeared on the mural before.

As soon as Yang Lei, who was standing behind Chen Ziyang, saw something made of gold, he instantly forgot the pain all over his body, hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, stretched out his hand, and wanted to hold this gold brand in his hand. But his outstretched hand was grabbed by Chen Ziyang.

"Thinking about money and going crazy, do you dare to move anything? Get out of the way. Chen Ziyang scolded Yang Lei loudly.

"I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't know who it was just now, but I came up and touched something on a woman's chest when I saw it." Yang Lei retreated and muttered unwillingly.

"Mr. Chen, let's do it." Instructor Liu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.
