Chapter 21: The Man-Eating Tree

1

A dead bear, a corpse, a piece of sunlight and fallen leaves.

This is what they saw when they came down.

The two continued to the west, and naturally Lin Xiaoan's back was still carrying Du Huan.

"I wish you could walk by yourself out of this forest. Hey, why don't you speak. By the way, I told you."

Du Huan stopped talking, but Lin Xiaoanan was not used to it. Du Huan also knew that this forest was terrible.

Du Huan finally couldn't help moaning. Lin Xiaoanli knew that his wound was too painful. But I can't think about it. In fact, this is the reason why he has not spoken for a long time. Du Huan kept gritting his teeth.

How deep is this forest? Du Huan felt a little desperate.

Lin Xiaoanan said, don't be afraid, you see, the forest is not so dense, it is coming to an end, in short, you must not spend the night here. At night, all kinds of monsters came out.

"It's time for us to come, if it's a hot day, there are many poisonous insects in this forest, and it is impossible to prevent it, even in Zhuxi Temple, there are a lot of poisonous insects. Lin Xiaoan's words were not spoken.

Du Huan's pain eased a little at this time, and he looked at a huge red spider densely covered with a tree trunk, and said, "You said that you were not allowed to speak, and you said it again." ”

"My rules are all set for you, I say yes, you say no. ”

"What scared the wild people away?"

"I don't know, I'm afraid of this. Lin Xiaoanqiao said.

"Is it a python?"

"It's not. ”

"A forest ghost?"

"The goblin is on my back. ”

"The legendary man-eating tree?"

"Can the man-eating tree walk?"

"Can't walk, how can it eat people?"

Lin Xiaoan's foot stepped on a round thing under the dead leaves. Suddenly, the thing wrapped around her ankle like a snake, and Du Huan was thrown into the thorns on the side.

"Oops. Du Huan covered his wound and staggered up, he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't see Lin Xiaoan, "What about people?"

"On your head. "I can only hear the sound of Lin Xiaoan.

When Du Huan looked up, he was startled, Lin Xiaoan's foot was entangled in an arm-thick green vine, and he hung upside down in the air, hanging his hand a few feet from the ground.

"Do you want to play a swing?" Du Huan was puzzled.

"You crow's mouth, as soon as you talk about the man-eating tree, the man-eating tree comes. Bah. Lin Xiaoanzu pulled out the soft sword from his arms, "You want to eat me, this girl is still hungry." ”

Du Huan covered his wound and laughed. He thought it was funny.

Lin Xiaoanan also thinks that this kind of tree monster is ridiculous, and hangs people's feet in the air for no reason, this is a big tree that is not big, hanging countless green vines, some of which hang on the ground, and grow into the soil.

But soon Lin Xiaoanqing and Du Huan couldn't laugh. There is only a share of bitterness. Because the green vines that look soft are constantly chopped.

Lin Xiaoanvil lifted up his waist with internal force, cutting, chopping, wiping, and couldn't make this soft green vine, but the skin was broken, and the fishy green juice flowed out, but the teng was dense with tree tendons.

The legend about the man-eating tree, is true. His soft vine is beyond the power of the mortal sword. However, the more terrifying thing is still to come, and the other vine whiskers are slowly stretching towards the small anvil hanging in the air, little by little, like tentacles of something.

The final scene can be expected, that is, Lin Xiaoanvil is wrapped into a cyan cocoon. Only then did they notice that there was a pile of white bones under the tree.

"Laugh, why don't you laugh?" Lin Xiaoanvil hung in the air and said angrily to Du Huan.

Du Huan was anxious at this time, but he still didn't relax, "You were smiling even happier just now." ”

"Don't come, don't move. Do you know this man-eating tree well with you?"

Du Huan stopped. Indeed, his past was in vain.

Lin Xiaoanli struggled desperately, but his frightened soft sword kept chopping, and naturally he couldn't keep earning.

"Fire. Du Huan suddenly remembered, "Use fire." ”

There seems to be some truth.

Lin Xiaoanli threw the fire sickle in his arms to Du Huan, and now he opened it, and he kept this fire sickle in the mouth of the broken dragon that day, but Lin Xiaoanli was prescient.

Fortunately, it is as dry here as the winter in Shushan, but Du Huan is still clumsy and does not light a fire for half a day. The vine tendrils were climbing towards the anvil in the air inch by inch, as if thousands of poisonous snakes were sticking out their tongues.

"Don't look at me, wait for me to come down, will you watch it again?

The pile of dead leaves on the ground that had already been lit immediately set the hemp stalk on fire.

Lin Xiaoanvil hung in the air, which can be regarded as comprehending the phrase "Blessing is unequaled and disaster is not a single line", at this time, a leopard came out of the forest silently, staring at Du Huan, Du Huan saw that the hemp pole was burning, and he was smug and turned around.

"Listen to me, don't look behind, run over here"

As soon as Du Huan heard that he didn't want to look at the back, he turned his head to look at the back. The leopard saw that he was away from the fire, and pounced on him in a roundabout way, and Du Huan shouted and ran towards Lin Xiaoan.

The leopard was as fast as lightning, and it was about to pounce on Du Huan, but Lin Xiaoan's eyes had already been closed. He heard Du Huan scream. Lin Xiaoqin knew that when he opened his eyes, the black forest was really dark, and the mountains and rivers of Shushan were only dark from now on.

2 It seems that a long time has passed, but in fact, it is just between the opening and closing of the eyes.

Lin Xiaoan's voice heard Du Huan speak again.

"It's better to be eaten by the cannibal tree. ”

When I opened my eyes, I saw that Du Huan was also hanging high in the air. Lin Xiaoanzu really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Lin Xiaoanli scolded with a crying voice: "You weren't eaten by a leopard, what are you screaming for?"

"This rattan hangs me up all at once, can I not scream?"

The leopard saw that the food in its mouth suddenly fell into the air by the green vine, and then retreated far away, as if it knew the power of this man-eating tree.

The hemp pole was still in Du Huan's hand, and Du Huan was hanging upside down, trying to burn the green vine, but his waist was weak and he couldn't reach it.

This hemp stalk is the most flammable, and it seems that it is half burned.

"Throw it to me. ”

"You're going to have to catch it. ”

"You throw hard, just don't throw lightly"

Du Huan didn't dare to hesitate anymore, he was already hanging higher, and he didn't need to exert himself, so he saw that he threw it at Lin Xiaoanvil. Lin Xiaoanvil swung lightly and caught it. Immediately stood up, burned the green vine tentacles, the green vine suddenly let go, retracted, Lin Xiaoanvil a body in the air, Ying Ying landed, the messy hair was fluttering, very charming, and smiled at Du Huan who was hanging in the air:

"Are you playing a swing?"

"Hurry up and save me, those vines are coming to me again. ”

Lin Xiaoanvil has its own certainty. Jumping up gently, his posture in the air was graceful, avoiding a few green vines, hugging Du Huan's waist, and burning the green vines. Then the two of them fell to the ground together, Lin Xiaoanh put Du Huan right, and pulled him out of the range of the man-eating tree's vines.

Du Huan was shocked, and pointed to the leopard that was watching the excitement from a distance.

"Ignore it, it's just a little cat. Lin Xiaoanan leaned against Du Huan and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to it, let's go, it is estimated that this forest is coming to an end." ”

Du Huan lay on the back of Lin Xiaoanvil, looked back at the leopard from time to time, and saw that it followed a short distance and disappeared into the dense forest.

"Why can't he live when he sees me, and he will be obedient when he sees you. ”

"I don't know, maybe it's because you're afraid of it, but I'm not afraid of it. ”

As soon as the danger passed, the pain struck again.

Lin Xiaoan, when he heard Du Huan moaning again, said, "You were brave and resourceful just now. Not bad. ”

If Du Huan is not mistaken, this is the first time Lin Xiaoan's praise of himself, his heart is full of joy, originally these two days have always been carried by Lin Xiaoan, although he does not know martial arts, and the situation is urgent, but Du Huan himself still feels a little embarrassed, feels that he is useless, after entering the black forest, he feels that he does not know the height of the sky, and he wants to follow Lin Xiaoanqing to the Savage Valley, but it has become a burden to her, and she is not going to go in her heart. At this time, I heard Lin Xiaoan's boast that he was brave and resourceful, and when he was happy, the pain of the wound seemed to be bearable.

"Where am I?"

"When the leopard pounces on you, you know how to run. ”

"So you're squeezing me again. ”

"Where, I'm serious, if you are an ordinary person, you will be stunned all of a sudden, your feet will be scared and weak, and you can still run. ”

When Du Huan heard it, it made sense, and he was proud again.

"Then where am I 'plotting'?"

"'Plotting' in you would even think of using fire. You saved my life. ”

Du Huan was even more proud. "When I used to look at the notes of those former dynasties in the Savage Valley, I saw that the man-eating tree was afraid of fire, but I didn't expect some legends to be true. My uncle used to say that if I don't read the books of the sages, I know how to read idle books, and who knows that these idle books are also useful. ”

As they spoke, they heard the faint sound of water.

Du Huan was overjoyed: "Maybe it's coming to an end." ”

Lin Xiaoanxin said: "I'm afraid that the road ahead is more dangerous." "I just don't say it, I'm afraid that Du Huan will be upset.
