Chapter 168 [Ghost Cherry Tree] (II)

Luo Lie was overjoyed in his heart, although the purpose of his deep entrance into the underground palace this time was not to find the safe left by Prince Rui back then, but it was also a surprise to find the safe here, he used a flying knife to widen the hole in the trunk of the ghost cherry tree, and then bent down to get in.

Bai Yunfei wanted to follow Luo Lie into the cave, but he felt that the pressure on his hand suddenly began to increase, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the crack on the trunk of the tree was rapidly closing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he tried his best to pull the crack away, and shouted: "Hurry! The crack is about to close." ”

Luo Lie had already come to the safe, this safe was just the size of an ordinary suitcase, Luo Lie had already made up his mind before entering, first take the safe out and then consider how to open it. Although Bai Yunfei reminded him outside that the crack on the trunk was beginning to close, Luo Lie didn't act too alarmed, after all, he had a knife in his hand, even if the crack on the trunk was closed again, he would still be able to cut it open again.

Although the safe is not large, it is full of weight, and it took Luo Lie a lot of effort to pick it up.

Bai Yunfei used his arms to support the incision that Luo Lie had just cut with his knife at this time, but the pressure from the tree body was getting stronger and stronger, and the part of Bai Yunfei's body became soft as mud, and the black tree body actually wrapped around his hands, as if he was stuck in a quagmire.

Bai Yunfei had to pull his hands out of it, he pulled out the umbrella from behind him, this umbrella is also special, the skeleton is all made of stainless steel, Bai Yunfei stretched the umbrella horizontally into the incision, trying to stop the speed of the incision closing, while loudly reminding Luo Lie to come back as soon as possible.

Although Luo Lie knew what was going on, the safe in his arms slowed down his movement considerably. One step at a time, a short distance of three meters could be crossed in one step in the past, but now it has become a long journey.

Bai Yunfei watched as the incision continued to shrink, and his steel-bone umbrella also creaked under the pressure of the ghost cherry tree, and the tough steel-bone scaffold could not withstand the power of this primordial growth. At this time, the ghost cherry blossoms adorned with the branches of the ghost cherry tree seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and the throbbing began to throb one by one, but this throbbing was caused by the contraction of the branches of the ghost cherry tree.

The network of branches that originally expanded and grown, like a large net spread out on the roof of the cave, quickly began to recycle, and as the branches retracted, the ghost cherry blossoms flew up one by one from the branches, and there were pink ghost cherry blossoms everywhere, Bai Yunfei looked up and saw the ghost cherry blossoms that seemed to be falling like snow falling towards the top of his head, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart, but he immediately remembered what Luo Lie said just now, the ghost cherry blossom is a spore plant, and it usually takes the initiative to avoid it when it encounters creatures. In fact, in the current limited space, even if Bai Yunfei wanted to, he couldn't dodge.

This time, the ghost cherry blossoms did not take the initiative to avoid it as they did just now, but instead swarmed in, and Bai Yunfei pulled the umbrella out of the crack in a hurry, and quickly stretched it out to cover the top of his head. Although there are still a lot of ghost cherry blossoms floating on his body, these spore plants are not poisonous, and they can't cause harm to the human body, and Bai Yunfei is just a false alarm.

The branches of the ghost cherry tree have retracted into the trunk in a short period of time, and the trunk that was originally flat like bark quickly became bulging, and the crack that was cut by Luo Hunt just now has been completely closed at this time, and the most troublesome thing is that Luo Hunt is still in the cave now.

Bai Yunfei didn't wait for the ghost cherry tree to disperse, and came to the ghost cherry tree, which seemed to be full of gas for a short time, and the diameter of the trunk was still growing. Bai Yunfei secretly screamed that it was not good, this ghost cherry tree was so strange that it actually trapped Luo Lie in the hole.

Luo Lie had already transported the safe to the entrance of the cave, he was obviously too late, the crack was completely closed, and the trunk of the tree, which was only half an inch thick just now, was now expanding to more than a meter in diameter, and it was constantly increasing.

Luo Lie put down the safe and took out the flying knife cast by the earth crystal, and stabbed it into the black trunk with force, because the blade was too short to penetrate the thickened trunk. Luo Lie only realized that he was in trouble at this time, the flying knife cut a crack in the trunk of the tree, the blade just left, the crack was quickly closed, and its regeneration speed was already several times faster than just now.

Luo Lie couldn't help but have a headache, he searched hard for his memory, hoping to find more information about the ghost cherry tree in his brain, and find a way to restrain it, maybe the wisdom seed had already integrated these materials into his brain, but this time it didn't surprise him.

Bai Yunfei watched the ghost cherry tree deform in a short period of time, becoming short and thick, firmly blocking the entrance of the cave where Luo Hunt was, the previous knife slash had proven ineffective, Bai Yunfei took out his pistol and aimed at the ghost cherry tree to shoot, but the bullet shot into the trunk of the tree like a stone sinking into the sea, and it had no effect at all.

When Bai Yunfei was hesitating, his eyes fell on a cigarette butt on the ground, this cigarette butt was abandoned by Luo Hunt just now, Bai Yunfei had an idea, it was better to try it with fire, he took out a box of matches, lit a match and threw it at the trunk of the ghost cherry tree, the match fell on the trunk of the ghost cherry tree and burned instantly, and the fire had spread along the trunk in a short time.

Bai Yunfei saw that the fire really worked, and he also showed a relieved smile, the ghost cherry tree began to deform again, the trunk stretched out again into a thin shape, and then expanded upward, the branches were clustered, the center of the trunk quickly narrowed, and it was split into two halves, the lower part was completely bathed in fire, and the upper part successfully got rid of the flames.

After the trunk was broken, the hole hidden behind was reexposed, Luo Lie did not dare to continue to stay, he hurriedly picked up the safe, first threw the safe out with all his might, and then put on a gas mask, and rushed out of the wall of fire in front of him, wearing a mask not to prevent poison, but to avoid his face being burned by the flames.

Fortunately, the fire was not big, and when Luo Lie rushed out of the wall of fire, his coat was only ignited, and he rolled on the spot and successfully extinguished the fire. When I looked up, I saw the broken ghost cherry tree spreading and moving overhead, what kind of class should this strange creature belong to, if you can leave tonight, you must study it carefully.

Bai Yunfei and Luo Lie set up the safe together and returned to the original mercury cave.

Although it has experienced a twist and turn, it is fortunate that there is no danger.

Lu Weilin waited anxiously above, heard the two voices below, and knew that they had finally found their target, Luo Lie asked Lu Weilin to put down the rope, tied the safe firmly, and then climbed up with Bai Yunfei, and the three of them dragged the safe together.

After all, there were only two gas masks, and Lu Weilin could only come over to help at the interval of ventilation, and when they dragged the safe above, Luo Lie and Bai Yunfei were too tired to do it, and the two of them sat down on the ground at the same time.

Bai Yunfei punched Luo Lie's shoulder, Luo Lie shook his head with a smile and said, "You are afraid that you will not be able to take this thing away." ”

Bai Yunfei also laughed, at this time, he had already thrown the task given to him by Mu Sanshou out of the clouds, if he couldn't cooperate with Luo Lie, he had no hope of getting this safe out at all, Luo Lie should be the same.

Luo Lie soon found that something was wrong, Lu Weilin went out to ventilate and still didn't come back until now, and after waiting for a while, he still didn't see Lu Weilin returning, and couldn't help but think of the slight breathing they heard in front of the statue before they returned to the Mercury Cave.

Luo Lie and Bai Yunfei waited in place for a while, but they never saw Lu Weilin's trace, Bai Yunfei also realized that Lu Weilin must have had an accident, he thought that Lu Weilin might have encountered strange underground creatures, and did not take into account human reasons, in his opinion, if there is no insider to guide the way, it is difficult for outsiders to reach such a secret underground palace smoothly.

They quickly found the answer, and a mysterious voice came from behind them: "Boy, I really didn't misunderstand you. ”

The two followed the reputation, but saw Lu Weilin appear at the entrance of the cave, and there was a figure behind him, although they did not see the real face, but both of them heard from each other's voices that it was Mu Sanshou who came.

Lu Weilin's face was full of chagrin, when he went out to breathe, he was caught by Mu Sanshou lurking in the shadows, and now Mu Sanshou held a gun against his back, as long as Mu Sanshou was willing to take his life at any time.

Bai Yunfei looked at Mu Sanshou with some astonishment, he only then realized that Mu Sanshou had been following behind them, in other words, although Mu Sanshou had made conditions that were difficult for him to refuse, he had never really trusted himself.

Bai Yunfei's expression was neither angry nor happy, and he said indifferently: "Mu Sanye, it's really a place where you don't meet in life!"

Mu Sanshou smiled proudly: "Mr. Bai is also a person with great fortune. ”

Bai Yunfei said mockingly: "Thank you for your old blessing." ”

Luo Lie nodded to Mu Sanshou and said, "Mu Sanye's journey has not been easy, why are you so anxious at such an old age?" Since I promised to give you this thing, I will not regret it." ”

Mu Sanshou wanted to threaten Lu Weilin's life to force Luo Lie to comply, and let him hand over the safe to himself, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, Luo Lie took the initiative to give things to himself, and he said happily: "Luo Lie, Luo Lie, those who know the times are Junjie, no wonder Qinghong attaches great importance to you." ”

Luo Lie secretly scolded Mu Sanshou for being despicable in his heart, and at this time, he also used Ye Qinghong to instigate the friendship between himself and Lu Weilin.

Lu Weilin said angrily: "Mu Sanshou, you are also a well-known character in the rivers and lakes, why do you do such a despicable and shameless thing?"

Mu Sanshou shook his head and said: "There is only success or failure in the rivers and lakes, and no one accounts for the means. When he said this, he stared at Bai Yunfei: "Which side is Mr. Bai going to stand on now?"

Luo Lie's heart sank, if Bai Yunfei joined forces with Mu Sanshou at this time, I am afraid that the situation would be even more unfavorable to his side, he couldn't help but hope that Lan Ximei would appear as soon as possible, and only in this way could the situation fall into multi-party competition, and Lan Ximei's temperament was also extremely ruthless, the most important thing for her was revenge, and it was in her best interest to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
