Chapter 21: The Strange Flower

Chris crouched down slightly, pressed his hands lightly on the grass, and unloaded the weight of his body as he fell. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He held this position, looked around carefully once more, and then took his bearings.

If memory serves, the palace is east of the Valley of the Tree of Life, so Chrissy runs to the left, and quickly disappears into the bushes.

The wind at night was very clear, and as Chris's footsteps accelerated, the blowing on his face lifted people's spirits, and the slight alcohol in his body was also taken away little by little.

The harmony between the elves and the ecology is well known on the mainland, except for the necessary roads, most of the plants and flowers in the woods are almost still in the original ecology, without any traces of indiscriminate felling, and the trees and grasses are very dense, so it also brings some inconvenience to Chris's night walk.

Sometimes, he can only climb high places to find a barely visible path and use this to decide which way to go.

Yesterday when he walked with the elves to the valley of the tree of life, Chris remembered clearly that he had to pass a hill and two groves, but after rounding the hill, what appeared in front of him was not the woods in his impression, it was still a green slope, for some reason, there was not a single tree on this hill, but some extremely low weeds.

In the territory of the elves, such a dirt slope should be unique, in other words, if you have seen it before, you should not forget it, and now this strange feeling means that you have never walked here at all.

Chris frowned, straightened up, and looked around.

Darkness blurs vision.

A faint blue light flashed in Chris's eyes, and the Eagle Eye Technique activated.

His head looked around slowly.

Surrounded by many taller and wider mountains, at night, the big trees on the top of the mountain showed only a swaying shadow in the darkness, the nearby weeds were gently swaying with the night wind, the sound of insects on all sides was meandering, and the sound of night owls was faintly heard from afar.

Maybe it's standing too high and not seeing the road.

Chris sighed, it's really inconvenient for road idiots.

It's a big deal to go back and go back to the hill before.

He walked down to the top of the slope, towards the low place, and suddenly stopped, and his eyes looked at the slope behind him.

The grass here seemed to be even more sparse than in other places, and Chris crouched down, as if some radiation in front of him had caused the grass and trees here to lose their lives, and then looked up, and sure enough, the mountains in this direction seemed to be only rocks and soil layers.

What does this mean?

Obviously, it's because of the breath of life in the tree of life.

A relieved smile appeared on Chris's lips.

In other words, that direction is where you are going – the Valley of the Tree of Life.

Finding the direction would be easy, Chris breathed a sigh of relief.

He stood up and walked forward.

After walking down a small slope, after a few steps, suddenly my feet were empty, and my body fell down involuntarily.

How can there be holes!

Chris didn't even have time to scold, it was dark in front of him, and he could only hear the sound of the wind as it fell.

In a panic, Chris waved his hands in vain, but his body still fell down extremely quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the corners of his clothes were lifted upward by the falling pressure, and there was a "poof" sound, and Chris was completely immersed in darkness, only faintly glimpsing the faint light overhead.

There should still be some way to go!

Chris knew that he had to calm down, or he would have to give his life to this hole.

As soon as he made a move, Chris's body burst out with green light, although faint, but in this extremely dark space, it was as dazzling as the light of life.

Chris flung his hand to the right, and when he reached the end, the claws shot out at the same time.

"Ding"

Then, Chris's body slammed into the air and hung in the air, the gravity of the body and the gravitational force when falling were superimposed, fortunately Kris's burst out of the fighting spirit and was prepared, otherwise it would be difficult to avoid dislocation.

The body was slamming towards the stone wall, and before he could reach it, he heard the screeching sound of claws and stones.

Obviously, the flying claw was able to buckle the stone wall just now, which was completely an explosion of luck, but after all, it was very unreliable, with the swaying of the body, the flying claw had been loosened from the stone wall at the moment, and before Chris could scold, his body fell straight down to the front and down.

"Bang"

Barely half a second later, Chris's feet fell to the ground, and he rolled forward on the ground by inertia, his back hit the stone wall hard, and a lot of mud and sand fell on his head.

With the Dou Qi Protector, Chris just shook his body slightly and stood up, secretly inspected, no injuries, and then put away his flying claws and looked up.

The hole above his head could be faintly seen, about sixteen or seventeen meters high, and Chris breathed a sigh of relief, it was not difficult to go up to this height.

What bad luck!

Chris patted the dust off his clothes and lit a fire.

As the light of the fire rose, a pale yellow light spread, and Chris was stunned.

This hole is on the slope of the hill where there are almost no weeds, but at the bottom of the cave in front of me, there are many plants, but there are no dwarf weeds, and when you enter the eye, there are all bowl-sized yellow flowers, half-open and half-hidden, very similar to the hibiscus flowers in the previous life.

However, without the photosynthesis of sunlight, what flower can grow so vigorously?

Chris looked up at the hole overhead, and was sure that the sun seemed to reach only a handful of these flowers.

Each of them has only one flower on its rhizome, two slender green leaves, and all of them are the same as far as the eye can see.

Chris approached the firelight, and couldn't help but be startled:

In the middle of these yellow flowers, there is a sleeping human face, no eyebrows or beards or other hair, their eyes are closed, motionless, no sound of breathing, pale yellow reflected on the yellow petals, making these faces very much like the faces of dead people.

At this time, in such a cluster of flowers, Chris always felt that the flowers around him seemed to be able to open their eyes and look at him at any time, and he couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

Just as he was about to get up, Chris suddenly noticed that the petals of several flowers in front of him seemed to be slowly opening.

Are they waking up?

Startled, Chris quickly stood up, took a few steps back, and leaned against the stone wall.

In the firelight, the flowers that had approached before opened their petals, and the branches also moved, and as Chris expected, the eyes in the center of the buds opened, and they had just woken up, and their eyes were still a little sleepy, and then they looked at the fire in Cris's hand.

The drowsiness seemed to disappear in an instant, and the eyes in the buds were at their maximum in a flash, and Chris could still see the horror that could not be concealed, and then, a hoarse voice like a broken gong sounded in the hole:

"It's on fire! It's on fire!"

Don't look at its small size, but it's loud.

Chris was also taken aback.

Then, I saw it jump three feet high, and the two slender leaves on the branches swayed back and forth, like a man, and ran into the darkness and disappeared.

Flowers also have feet?

Chris was puzzled.

The loud voice of the vanishing flower seemed to wake up the rest of the "flowers" as well, and they opened their eyes one after the other, and then they moved in unison: glaring at the fire in Chris's hand, and then screaming in horror, with voices of men and women, old and young, and then scrambled into the darkness, and even a few flowers fell to the ground, and then fled with a lot of fart. In a few moments, a large area of land was vacant in front of Chris.

Chris couldn't help but be dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
