Surdak found that these plants with huge leaves actually blended well with the surrounding trees, and those huge red fruits were hidden under the canopy, and the magicians rode the magic handles to patrol the sky, and they didn't notice anything strange here.

Samira, who is the guide of the city of Warimala, and Andrew, the indigenous of the Nanai tribe of the Maga plane, both said that they did not know these plants, and Surdak thought to himself: this plant with huge red fruits can be said to be very recognizable, and such a large area grows in this valley, how can it be an unknown new species.

Although the diameter of the main trunk of these plants reaches two meters, the skin itself is green, and it does not look like a tree's sense of age, and there are some more than a foot long on the branches, almost transparent thorns, and the leaves at the top are like a huge parasol, covering the space below.

The ogre leaned back at the huge red fruit hanging in the air, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

He grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, wiped it vigorously on his hand, and stabbed the thorns with a large stick, and regardless of how prickly the remaining thorns were, he climbed along the green branches to the top of the tree, and the green plant seemed to be resisting the ogre, and kept shaking the green branches.

The ogre's movements were fast, and when Surdak wanted to speak, his big hand was already grasping at the red fruit, and in his eyes the huge red fruit seemed to be an incomparably delicious food.

In Surdak's impression, ogres usually like to eat meat, so he didn't think these giant red fruits could have any attraction to ogres, but the scene in front of him completely subverted his perception of ogres, and Glitham also liked to eat brightly colored fruits......

But when Gullitham had just touched the giant fruit, the delicate red fruit fell from the calyx and fell to the ground to burst into a large pool of red juice.

The contents of the giant fruit were also revealed, it was clearly the body of a huge beast, but it had been corroded by the red juice to the point that only a skeleton with carrion remained, and it was impossible to see what kind of beast it was, the skeleton shattered to the ground in the red juice, and the thin layer of peel quickly harvested into a ball.

The red pulp on the ground smelled of putrefaction, and it made Surdak want to gag.

But at this time, he didn't have time to care about this at all, because after the red fruit fell, the calyx of the giant plant hanging in the air actually turned into a large mouth full of sharp teeth, and the branches and vines behind it quickly extended, like a giant python as thick as an adult's waist, biting towards the ogre.

The ogre Gulitum was startled, and his hands tried to grasp the huge calyx full of sharp teeth, but he forgot that he was holding on to the trunk of the giant plant, and when he released his hands, his body fell from a height of ten meters, but his body was still strong, and he adjusted his posture in the air, and landed steadily in the clearing.

The bite of the huge calyx fell into the air, and immediately chased after the ogre, and Gulit was also very brave, reaching out to handle the big wooden stick, and smashed it towards the python-like flexible calyx, and the calyx was smashed by the ogre's full force to the juice, and only a piece of vine quickly retracted.

Before the ogre Gulitham could celebrate his victory to the team, almost at the same time, more than a dozen vines full of sharp teeth stretched out from the canopy of the surrounding trees, winding towards the members of the battle team, and the ogre was still trying to fight back, but he tripped over a vine that came out from behind, and the moment his body fell, the vine was already wrapped around the ogre's thigh.

The ogre reached out and grabbed the calyx of the vine and tried to tear it off, but in an instant, several more vines were entangled, so frightened that the ogre crawled to break free from the entanglement of the vine and ran outside the woodland after the combat team.

All the flowers and trees seemed to come to life at this moment, turning into demons and monsters with teeth and claws, and vines hung down from the tops of the flowers and trees with calyxes full of sharp teeth, and Andrew and Samira were so frightened that they ran out, intending to escape from the area where the flowers and trees grew

Surdak finally remembered what these plants were, when he bought insect repellent powder and man-eating pollen in the magic potion shop, the man-eating pollen box was painted with this plant, but the relief carved with a few strokes did not leave much impression in Surdak's heart, the scene in front of him was almost the same as the relief on the man-eating pollen box, Surdak pulled out the blood-red crescent scimitar, and shouted to the team:

"Retreat! These are the cannibal flowers of the hellish realm. ”

The four of them ran desperately back and forth on the road, Surdak only felt that the fruits on these man-eating flower trees were constantly cracking, and the vines with calyxes around them gathered more and more, and the whole woodland was filled with the smell of corpse decay, Surdak injected the power of holy light into the blood-red crescent moon in his hand, and the blade of the blood-red crescent moon turned from red to a dazzling white flame, and cut off a tree vine with his hand, and the vine actually withered a large part in an instant.

The ogre could walk seven or eight meters in one step, and when he ran, he ran much faster than the others, but he was so large that he couldn't avoid the vines that stretched out from his sides and overhead, which held him back and made him tired in the cannibal bushes.

Samira was light, and she dodged left and right under the attack of the man-eating vine, and quickly rushed to the front, but when she saw the man-eating vine laying a dense net of vines on the way of everyone, she immediately turned around and ran back desperately.

Andrew, who was following Samira, severed a vine, and the four of them had to flee along the edge of the man-eating tree towards the hillside.

The road was already covered with vines with teeth and claws, trying to find an exit to break through, the whole woodland was filled with a rotten and sweet smell, it was said that the cannibal flower tree could secrete a hallucinogenic toxin, Surdak quickly prompted the team members to cover their mouths and noses, and even the ogre had a rag on his head.

Andrew brandished a big axe to open the way in front, Surdak was in charge of breaking the back, seeing that the road in front of him was about to be blocked by layers of trees and vines, I saw Andrew striding to the front, and a pair of staring eyes appeared behind him, he took a step forward, jumped high, and the giant axe clenched in both hands slashed down, and the axe blade brought a white light, dividing the tree vine in front of him into two sections.

The four members of the team ran to a rock wall in a panic, and saw that there was a cave between the mountain walls, so everyone in the battle team ran to the cave, and quickly drilled into the cave before the vines caught up.

As soon as Surdak stepped into the cave, the crazy man-eating vines had already blocked the entrance of the cave, and there were still some vines extending along the cave to the inside, but after all, the length of these vines was limited, and the team retreated again and again, and the few vines that came after him were chopped into several sections by Andrew, and the remaining vines shrank back in embarrassment.

A large area of man-eating flowers and trees grew outside the entrance of the cave, and any birds and beasts were seen in these surrounding areas, obviously once those beasts approached here, they became the nourishment of the man-eating flowers, only Surdak's combat team was not caught by the man-eating flowers because of their strong combat strength, but they were trapped in this cave, a large number of man-eating flowers and vines almost blocked the entrance of the cave, and now it seems that there is only a way to wait to see how long these man-eating flowers and vines can disperse.

Andrew walked to the entrance of the cave with a large axe in his hand and tried to clean up the man-eating vines, which were obviously not subject to the natives' hooks after the Nanai native warrior had cut off seven or eight man-eating vines in a row. The calyxes with sharp teeth do not easily protrude into the cave, and the man-eating vines begin to secrete a pale pink poisonous mist that spreads into the cavern, which is filled with a strange smell of decay and sweetness.

In order to avoid being poisoned by inhaling too much poisonous mist, Surdak immediately led the battle team to explore the depths of the cave.

When he first entered this cave, the ogre crawled in almost half-kneeling, but he didn't expect that the cave was much more spacious than the outside entrance, and after walking more than twenty meters inside, the ogre could already stand in the cave.

Although there are no majestic mountains in this area, the caves look very deep.

Waiting at the entrance of the cave will only allow those man-eating vines to continue to guard the cave, Surdak looked into the depths of the cave, and said to several members of the team: "Will the other end of this cave lead to the other side of the mountain, anyway, we are already trapped here, why don't we go in and take a look......"

Andrew sat on a rock, sharpened the blade of the axe with a whetstone, looked up at Surdak and said, "I'm okay with that!" ”

The half-elf archer took the first step towards the cave, and Surdak hurriedly took out the torch of holy light from his magic waist bag at this time, and poured a trace of divine breath, so that the torch of holy light ignited a white flame of light, which illuminated the surrounding area of the cave, as if to dispel the coldness in the cave.

The three of them walked more than ten meters inside, and the ogre behind them strode up and said to a few people: "I have no problem exploring the cave, but should we think about lunch, I mean there is nothing to eat in this cave, or I will rush out of the cave and see if I can get some food, hey, hey...... Wait for me! ”

The ground in the cave is full of big rocks that block the road at any time, it is very difficult to walk, some impassable places, and Andrew uses a big axe to break the rocks, so stop and go, tossing for most of the day, the team followed the cave to a mountain belly, hundreds of stalactites in the cave hang down from the top of the cave, these stone pillars are still dripping down.

The ogre ran to a pool of stalactite execution and knelt on the rocky ground to drink the water, but was stopped by Surdak.

Surdak said, "Don't spoil your stomach by drinking. ”

After speaking, he took out a water gathering rune board from the magic backpack, stuck it on the stone wall, and embedded a magic crystal fragment on the gem base of the rune board, and soon a lot of clear water gathered in the funnel-shaped water collector in front of the rune board, Andrew helped Surdak water collector stand next to the rune board, and then asked Surdak: "Captain, do we still want to go inside?" ”

Surdak rested against a stalactite and said, "These hellish man-eating flowers don't appear at the entrance of the cave for no reason, so I want to take a look inside the cave." ”

Andrew looked at the big axe in his hand with some distress, and agreed honestly: "Oh! ”

"The marching rations we carry are enough for us to hold out in the cave for five days, don't worry about your stomach." Surdak said to the ogre next to him.

"I'm relieved when you say that, it's really uncomfortable to be hungry!" The ogre smiled with relief.

"Samira, were there many caves in this area before?" Surdak asked Samira, who had been a guide for a while.

The half-elf archer took the map, and with the help of the torch of holy light in Surdak's hand, he found the current location of the team, and drew a mountainous place on the map, drew a deep trace with his finger, and said: "I have heard that there is an underground cave network in the northern suburbs of the city, but this place is usually occupied by ghost monkeys, and the cave paths here are intricate, few adventure groups are willing to walk in, those ghost monkeys like to hide in the dark caves to blow poisonous arrows, and they are of little value in themselves, This cave is almost all of their range. ”

"But now I can't see a ghost monkey in the cave." Andrew looked around the cavern and found nothing alive.

Surdak thought for a moment before saying, "The fact that those man-eating flower trees outside the cave can grow so luxuriantly is probably because they have absorbed a large number of ghost monkeys as nutrients. ”

"Captain, could there be something specifically to hunt those ghost monkeys in the cave, only some of the ghost monkeys escaped from this underground cave?" Andrew seemed to think of something terrible and couldn't help but ask.

"So we're going to keep digging inside and see what's in this cavern." The more Surdak thought about it, the more he realized that the combat team was probably on the right track.

A blue flame erupts from the Gathering Fire scroll, and Andrew sets the pot on the fire, waits for the water to boil, and then adds the batter-like marching rations so that the porridge doesn't stick to the bottom.

The team ate a bite to eat before continuing their way deeper into the cave.

Along the way, there was no trace of Hellhound, and Surdak inevitably felt that he might have thought too much.

I don't know how deep this cave is, and the team also encountered some intricate forks, in order to avoid getting lost in the cave, at each fork, Samira made clear signs in the most inconspicuous position, which is deep underground, once you get lost in the cave, it is not easy to get out of the cave net.

The road continued downward, and although the slope was gentle, Surdak could still feel that the group had gone deep into the ground.

The cave was very quiet, and there was not even any living creature to be found, and there was not even moss on the stone walls, and the echoes could be clearly heard when he spoke, and the silence was like an infinite terror slowly growing in the hearts of everyone, and even Andrew, who had a simple personality, became a little irritable.

The team rested in the cave for one night and walked inside for another half day.

Just when Surdak thought that there was probably nothing in the cave, the low roar of Hellhounds could be heard faintly from the depths of the cave......
