Chapter 5: The Demon Plant, Thorn Vine

Zeqi thought, "The roll call seems to be in the order in which we signed up. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In this way, it is necessary to change the strategy, Selene is next to me, then I am only 200-300 meters with her, if I meet her at the beginning, it should be easier. There were five people between Zareth and me, and we were about 1,000-1,500 meters apart. I'll meet up with Selene first, and then I'll meet my brother for a round. ”

The old student took Zeqi to a small junction at the foot of the mountain and returned. Zeqi didn't enter the mountain immediately, he had to wait for Selene to go first.

After Selene entered the mountain, he saw the location and followed him into the mountain.

The mountain was overgrown with trees and bushes, and Zech couldn't see Selene, but he could find her with his voice, and he shouted Selene's name as he walked in the direction of Selene.

Sure enough, as Zeqi thought, after walking about a few dozen meters, Selene heard Zeqi's voice and shouted Zeqi's name.

Within a quarter of an hour, the two met.

"Great, Zechi, we're together again. Selene excitedly.

"yes, let's go find my brother now. ”

"No, he's more than a thousand meters away from us, and he's been up the mountain long before us, can you find him?

Zeqi nodded, "I've also thought about this, now we still have time, my idea is that we first walk more than a thousand meters in his direction, and then go up the mountain, so that the chance of meeting him is higher, if you can meet him, if you can't, then meet at the top of the mountain." I don't know what danger there will be in the mountains, but if we can meet him sooner, so that the three of us can take care of each other, there will be less danger. ”

"Well," Selene laughed, "you care about him so much, you deserve to be an older brother." ”

"Huh. ”

So Zechiselin and the others walked along the mountainside in the direction of Zare's uphill. Along the way, most of the vegetation on the mountain is tall trees and bushes, and the ground is full of falling leaves, which will make a rustling sound when stepped on, and occasionally you can meet other candidates, presumably at the same point of the mountain, other candidates will also be arranged to go up the mountain at different times.

There were no monsters on the way, but the occasional sound of Si Suo Suo from the leaves on the ground always startled the two of them, and Seline always scolded the unknown animal hidden in the leaves afterwards.

After walking for nearly a few hundred meters, the two of them shouted Zare's name as they walked, and after walking a few hundred meters, they still didn't touch Zare, so they decided to go to the top of the mountain.

Most people would choose the wider way up the mountain, and Zareth must have thought the same way. So they walked along a wider path to a higher place.

After walking for more than an hour, the two of them had never even encountered an animal, let alone a demonic beast, except for a few other candidates. The road is still densely covered with tall trees and bushes.

"Help!" a faint cry for help could be heard in the distance.

"Selene, did you hear someone shouting for help?" Zeqi asked.

Selene listened carefully, then nodded, "Well, someone is shouting for help." ”

"Let's go over and have a look. There may be someone who needs help. Zeqi said.

"Don't," Selene shook her head, "if we run into a powerful monster, we'll die." ”

"Well......" Zeqi thought for a moment, "We'll follow quietly, if we can help, if we can't, we'll take a detour, anyway, we'll go in that direction." ”

"Alright then!"

The two of them followed the source of the sound and leaned over cautiously. When I got closer, I realized that a little boy was entangled in his legs by a tree vine and fell to the ground, unable to move.

When Zeqi and Selene wanted to go over to help, they were stopped by the little boy's shouting:

"Don't come here!"

The two of them were suddenly surprised, obviously the other party was shouting for help, but at this time they told them not to go over.

"It seems that we are self-inflicted," Selene said to herself at Zeqi, "and they don't need our help at all." ”

"No, no," the little boy hastened to explain, "then, are you really willing to help me?"

"Of course, why don't you come here. Zeqi said angrily.

"Oh, thank you very much, that, my knife seems to have fallen there, you can help me find it. The boy gestured not far away.

The two searched in the direction of the boy's finger. Sure enough, Zeqi found an ordinary woodcutter under some leaves.

"Found it! I'll help you cut down the vines. Zeqi picked up the knife he had found and walked towards the boy.

"Wait!"

The boy shouted again to stop Zeqi.

"What's wrong again?" Zeqi was surprised, annoyed, and at the same time felt that the boy was strange.

The boy pointed not far away, "Do you see that lower branch?"

"See. Zeqi looked at the branch next to him, "What's wrong?"

"See if you can cut it off with a single sword. The boy said.

"Are you kidding us? Zechi, let's go. Selene on the side was on fire, and the boy didn't let Zeqi cut off the tree on him, but asked him to cut off irrelevant branches.

The boy hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no. That's because ......"

"Because of what!?" cried Selene.

"Because...... , because if you can cut a branch with a single sword, you can cut off the vine with a single sword. If I can't cut it with a knife, the vine will strangle me. The boy said timidly.

"That's it! Giggles, what a coward, I can't stand this pain, it's useless. Giggle!" Selene chuckled.

"Heh, hehe!" the boy smiled wryly.

Zeqi frowned, walked to the branch, held the knife in his right hand, and waved it hard, the branch shook and did not break, and then looked at the knife edge, only half of the branch was jammed. Zeqi drew his knife, raised his right hand in the air again, and swung it with all his might.

"Click!" the branch broke.

Immediately afterwards, Zeqi approached the boy and looked at the vine wrapped around the boy's leg, then turned to Selene and said, "Selene, let's go." ”

"Huh?" Selene wondered, "but ......"

Selene felt extremely surprised at this time, he was the one who said just now that he was going to save the boy, and now he was about to take the last step, but he suddenly ignored it and did not save it. If it were someone else, she would still understand, but this is Zeqi who grew up with her. That's not who he is, but why?

"Don't, don't go, please!" the boy said a little hysterically.

"Why do you want to cut off the vines with a knife? Tell the truth! Or we'll go." Zeqi said angrily.

"I said, I said. There was helplessness in the boy's eyes.

"It's not a tree vine that is wrapped around me, but a thorny vine. The boy sighed, "Ah...... It's all my fault, I listened to the lie of a noble little girl, saying that I could get there faster by taking a shortcut, so I didn't take the normal mountain road, so that I accidentally stepped on a thorny vine. ”

Zeqi looked at the vine on the boy's lap, thinking that this was the thorn vine that the boy was talking about.

"After being entangled in this thorny vine, if you struggle more, you will be entangled tighter and tighter. That's why I said I'm going to cut it off with one slash. Luckily, I only stepped on the outermost thorn vine, and I had heard of this magic plant before, and knew how powerful it was, and after being entangled by it, I only struggled for a short time before I was entangled in the dense area of thorn vines. ”

"Dense place?" Zeqi wondered.

"Take a closer look from me. The boy said, looking not far away.

Zeqi looked at it and couldn't help but gasp......
