"Ah......" A miserable scream came from the direction of the depths of the tree hole, although the shout was not too loud, and it sounded relatively far, but in this quiet tree hole, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei still heard this shout clearly.

"Eryang, can you hear who is shouting?" Yang Lei asked, holding a tree root with one hand and covering his ass with the other.

"I didn't hear clearly, but it seems that something should be wrong ahead, how are you? Can you hold on? ”

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt too much now, the thorn isn't too long, and I didn't hurt any fatal parts, let's hurry up and move forward."

Although Chen Ziyang was a little worried about Yang Lei, he had checked Yang Lei's injury, the spike was not too thick, and Yang Lei's injury was only some abrasions, it was a big deal to shed more blood, and there was definitely no worry about his life.

"Then I've wronged you, we've been delaying for too long, let's leave quickly." Seeing that there was nothing around him that was worth wasting his time on, Chen Ziyang pulled Yang Lei and continued to walk forward with a stomach full of questions.

Although the two of them hoped to catch up with Instructor Liu quickly, the environment of the tree hole did not allow them to do so. Even if the two of them focused all their attention on the spikes of the surrounding roots, the degree of the two of them was still not much faster.

Especially Yang Lei is still injured now, in order to avoid tearing the wound, he doesn't dare to do too strenuous exercise, plus with the experience of the team doctor, the two of them don't want to fall on these spikes and become a colander because of a moment of carelessness. So the two of them can only do their best to improve some degrees and seek speed in stability.

After walking through the tree hole for a while, Chen Ziyang stopped, wanting to wait for Yang Lei, who was lagging behind due to his limited mobility, to catch up. As he moved forward, he kept mentally counting the steps he took. Up to now, the two of them have walked out of a distance, but they still haven't seen Instructor Liu and Xiao Ren. Chen Ziyang felt that something was wrong.

Although the previous shout sounded relatively far away, but in this twisting tree hole, the sound would be greatly weakened when it was conducted, so it means that the two people should not be too far away from the place where the sound came out, but why did they walk for so long and still didn't see anyone.

Turning around, Chen Ziyang stared at Yang Lei who was staggering behind him, and at this moment, he saw a black shadow flash at the edge of Yang Lei's flashlight, disappearing into the darkness.

This now made Chen Ziyang immediately raise his vigilance. Could it be that the shadow of the black lizard has reappeared? However, because there are branches and spikes sticking out of this dark tree hole everywhere, whenever the flashlight moves, many black shadows will appear under the flashlight, moving with the flashlight. He couldn't figure out if he was dazzled or if something was really moving fast.

Although he was not very sure, Chen Ziyang was still careful. That black lizard-like shadow thing can suck the flesh of the seal spider, and I wonder if that strange creature will be equally interested in humans.

This creature is very flat, the volume is not very large, and it moves very quickly, if it is really climbed on the body by this creature, Chen Ziyang feels that he has no good way to deal with this kind of thing, but he doesn't know what method Instructor Liu used to subdue this creature, and let this creature honestly stay on his arm.

At this time, Yang Lei, who followed up, hurriedly ran a few steps, came to Chen Ziyang, and said, "Er Yang, look. After saying this, Yang Lei handed his hand in front of Chen Ziyang, who was holding two plant spikes in his hand.

Seeing Yang Lei's excited expression and his actions, Chen Ziyang was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Yang Lei meant. This kind of spikes are everywhere here, and they can't be counted, why would Yang Lei let himself see these two ordinary spikes?

Looking at these two spikes, Chen Ziyang, who just wanted to open his mouth to ask what Yang Lei meant, suddenly understood.

"Where did you get this?" He said in surprise.

From the moment the five of them entered the strange passageway, the roots of the plants and the spikes on the roots had been with them.

But all the while, the roots and spikes that grow on the roots of this plant give the impression that they are very strong, almost like stone.

Even when he was in the passage before, Yang Lei once slapped a spike with a sapper shovel, trying to get this spike down, but he didn't succeed with a lot of effort, which shows the firmness of the root system of these plants.

But now Yang Lei was holding the spikes of two large plants in his hands, and it was not a small fragment, but a complete two, which made Chen Ziyang feel very surprised.

"My legs and feet are not very sharp, I accidentally tripped over a spike just now, I thought that this time I was finished, I would definitely trip over that spike, fall to the ground, and be pierced with more than a dozen bloody holes, but what I didn't expect was that this spike was kicked off by me.

I was blindfolded, and you know how strong this thorn is, and I thought that my strength had suddenly become so great that I could kick it off. But then I realized that it wasn't that my strength had increased, but that the spikes had become brittle.

So I kicked at the other spike, and although the first kick didn't break, I felt the spike move significantly, so I kicked again, kicking the second one off as well. ”

After listening to Yang Lei's words, Chen Ziyang hurriedly took the spike from his hand and looked at it carefully. The spikes of these two plants were different in color from what they had seen before, they looked a little whiter, and the gloss was much worse, like dead branches.

The fracture under the two plant spikes was very uneven, Chen Ziyang touched the fracture, and the fracture of his current spikes was not as hard as he imagined.

After throwing down these two spikes, Chen Ziyang looked around, found a relatively isolated spike, and kicked it with his foot.

Although he didn't break the spike when he stepped down, Chen Ziyang saw that the spike was obviously crooked after he kicked it, so he mustered up his strength and kicked it a second time. There was a "pop" sound, and the spikes broke in response.

If there are occasionally one or two such spikes so fragile, Chen Ziyang can understand it, but Yang Lei casually kicked off two, and he also chose one at random, and he was also kicked off by himself, so it seems that in this area, the spikes growing on the roots of these plants are obviously much more fragile.

Recalling the hollow roots and the wood chips he saw before, Chen Ziyang estimated that it was very likely that the roots of this piece of plant had all been eaten by moths, resulting in the roots of these trees having died long ago or lost their due hardness.

Although the hardness of the spikes has decreased a lot, these spikes are still very strong, and it takes a lot of strength to break them, and they are still a great threat to the two people. However, Chen Ziyang felt that this should be a good thing, which proved that the dryad also had weaknesses, at least those moths that used to live here could restrain it.

"You still hold on, do you want to take a break." Letting go of the spikes, Chen Ziyang cared about Yang Lei, after all, for a person who had just been injured in the backyard, it should be a little unbearable to walk such a long way.

"It's okay, it's much better, it's a lot stronger in this exercise, and now I feel a little painful when I stop, and it's good to walk." Don't get in the way, you don't have to worry about me, let's hurry forward, it's too late. ”

After nodding to Yang Lei, Chen Ziyang pulled him and continued to walk forward. This is also a matter of no choice, after all, the two of them have been delayed for a long time, although Yang Lei was injured, but the injury is not too serious, it is a big deal to let him suffer for the time being, go back and let him recuperate.

After walking for a while, the two of them walked into a relatively large space with the sharp turn of the tree hole. After shining a flashlight around, Chen Ziyang saw that this place was very weird.

The surroundings of this space are still wrapped in tree roots, but the surrounding tree roots are all broken, the roots have been damaged a lot, and there are traces of gnawing on the sections.

The whole space feels as if a hole has been carved out in the middle of the densely packed roots. Even the rocks in the gaps between the roots of the trees are exposed. The floor of the space was covered with wood chips and black balls the size of peanuts.

Chen Ziyang carefully observed the section of the roots here, and the traces of being eaten on the section of the roots of the tree were exactly the same as the traces on the inner wall of the hollow trunk that he had seen before.

Yang Lei grabbed a black ball on the ground and looked at it carefully in his hand. After sniffing it close to his nose, Yang Lei crushed the black ball vigorously, and then he shouted: "! He hurriedly threw aside the crushed black ball in his hand, shook his hand quickly, and rubbed his fingers on his pants a few times.

"His grandmother's, this black ball looks like the feces of something, but it disgusts me." Yang Lei said while shaking his hand.

Feces! Chen Ziyang picked up one of these black balls, crushed them, and looked at them carefully. As Yang Lei said, this should be some kind of herbivore feces, because there is a very thick fibrous structure in these feces, which looks like shriveled sheep dung balls.

Looking at the feces the size of rat feces all over the ground, Chen Ziyang felt that his back was cold. Judging from the size of these dung balls, the creatures that pulled out these dung balls should be the size of mice, but there are countless of these dung balls all over the ground, and they can gnaw such a large space in such a hard tree root, which shows that the number of such creatures here has been beyond their imagination.

However, fortunately, it can be judged from the dryness of the dung balls that these dung balls were pulled out a long time ago, and it is very likely that these creatures have long ceased to live here, or have long since died, so Chen Ziyang was slightly relieved.

"What kind of creature can live inside the dryad? Where did these creatures go? Chen Ziyang thought in his heart. The thought of the scene of countless rat-like things eating here and there, he felt goosebumps on his body.

Just as Chen Ziyang was praying in his heart that this creature had all died and would not let himself run into it, another scream reached the ears of the two people. And this time the screams were much louder, and it sounded not far from where the two people were.

This scream made the two people terrified, and from the scream, Chen Ziyang could tell that the person who could hear the shout suffered a great pain. But the shouting soon ceased, and there was no more sound.

The two men exchanged a glance, then each took up his weapon and continued on his way. At the other end of the space was still the hollow in the tree surrounded by plant roots, and the two of them plunged into it.

After walking a few dozen steps, the two of them entered another space from the hole in the tree again. This space is similar to the previous one, except that it seems to be slightly larger.

There are still many gnawed tree roots climbing around the space, and the ground of the space is still covered with a thick layer of wood chips and a large amount of feces left by unknown creatures.

As soon as he entered the area, Chen Ziyang saw two obvious footprints left on the ground paved with wood chips and dung.

The previous space was smaller, the wood chips and droppings on the ground were not very thick, and most of the ground was still tree roots, so the two of them didn't notice any footprints left.

However, the layer of sawdust and droppings on the ground of this space is very thick, and all the other tree roots have been covered, so these two sets of footprints are clearly exposed in front of the two people.

Chen Ziyang knew that this should be left by Instructor Liu and Xiao Ren. He ran forward, watching intently.

Chen Ziyang's two series of footprints have a common feature, that is, the two people who left the footprints took very big steps, and it seemed that Instructor Liu and Xiao Ren were very anxious when they passed by here before.

Finally seeing the traces left by Instructor Liu and Xiao Ren, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei quickly passed through this space and entered the tree hole.

In this way, after passing through four or five of these spaces that had been gnawed by unknown creatures in succession, the two of them saw a person fall in another such space.
