Chapter 132: The Man-Eating Tree
Soon, the two of them came to the door lock that had been shattered earlier.
Ye Xun saw that Zhao Yanan's footsteps were vain and walking a little slowly, so he kindly helped her, and said with twelve points of guilt, "I'm really embarrassed, it's true that I have burdened you, how do you feel now?" β
"I haven't eaten for two days, and if it's you, you'll be beaten up and locked up in this environment, what would you do?" Zhao Yanan obviously still had a lot of hatred for Ye Xun, so he coldly broke free of her hand and gritted his teeth and said.
Ye Xun was silent, except for constantly apologizing, he really couldn't think of anything else he could say.
He continued to bury his head in front, and after a while, the two came to the rotating stone steps again, Ye Xun asked as he walked, "I know you hate me very much now, but now is not the time to discuss this, I still have a few questions I want to ask you, please answer them truthfully." β
"What's the problem?"
Zhao Yanan naturally hated Ye Xun, but after all, he had to rely on him to take him out, his eyes rolled, and he said with grief and indignation.
Seeing that her demeanor had returned to normal, Ye Xun said again, "In this botanical garden, are there any other basements, besides you, are there other people who are being detained nearby?" β
"How do I know this kind of problem?"
Zhao Yanan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just a small employee, responsible for handling some business documents for Mr. Lu, occasionally conveying his instructions, and I don't know anything else at all." β
Ye Xun stopped talking, looked at Zhao Yanan's face with grief and anger in shame, and sighed helplessly.
He couldn't wait to come to the rescue this time, in addition to planning to make up for his mistakes, he also tried to grasp some internal information of the Lu family through this woman.
Now it seems that this calculation is doomed.
Next, Ye Xun stopped talking and walked out of the basement with the woman directly, but just after getting out of the passage and about to speed up his pace to leave, Zhao Yanan behind him suddenly stopped his footsteps, stunned at the exit of the basement, and did not dare to climb out.
"What's wrong with you?"
Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, so he had to look back at her.
Zhao Yanan was trembling with horror, maintaining a petrified face, and did not speak, but fixed his gaze on the strange big tree in the middle of the glass-covered building, and his shoulders trembled involuntarily,
"This tree, it'sβit's going to eat people!"
"Huh?"
Ye Xun was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but glance at the bare tree trunk again, and then shook his head and smiled, "Don't talk nonsense, it's just a very ordinary tree, how can it eat people?" β
"Yes...... It's true, I was caught here the afternoon before yesterday, and while they were interrogating me, I saw a man being eaten alive by this tree......"
Zhao Yanan's face turned pale, and his body was also swinging violently, and he said in a trembling tone,
"Mr. Lu locked me down, and he also planned to turn me into nourishment for this tree......"
Could it be a man-eating tree?
Hearing this, Ye Xun was stunned again, hurriedly shifted his gaze, and glanced at the tree again, on the white trunk, there were many dense and forked branches, and at the end of each branch, there were some very grotesque vines, the surface of the vines was blue, and there was not a single leaf, which was indeed quite strange at first glance.
But I've been in for so long, if it's really a cannibal tree, why haven't you attacked yourself for a long time?
Thinking like this, Ye Xun was even more puzzled, so he could only hold Zhao Yanan's arm, pull her up and say, "Don't scare yourself, this tree is quite normal, we ......"
He was about to comfort Zhao Yanan's emotions, but halfway through his words, he heard a low shout from outside, "Boy, what are you doing, who let you in?" β
The sudden call immediately interrupted Ye Xun's words.
Ye Xun hurriedly closed his mouth and quickly looked outside, and saw the old man before, holding an electric baton, standing outside the door of the glass room with a gloomy face.
In his other hand, he was also holding a walkie-talkie, which seemed to be calling someone.
Not good!
Ye Xun's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly dragged Zhao Yanan, and then rushed towards the head and said sharply, "Put down the walkie-talkie!" β
"Hehe, it's too late."
The old man showed a cruel smile on his face, and raised his chin very proudly, "Boy, I know you, you are that Ye Xun, right?" You really have a kind of it, you actually took the initiative to send it to the door......"
Bang!
Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, Ye Xun had already raised his arm and smashed his fist straight into the glass cover, making a gap in the door and grabbing him directly at the neck.
Since the other party can accurately tell his identity, it means that this old man must be with Lu Shaoxiong, so there is no need to be soft-hearted.
The old man quickly closed his mouth, looked at the arm that Ye Xun had grabbed, and directly greeted the electric baton in his hand.
Zizi!
The electric baton made contact with Ye Xun's fist, instantly making him feel his arm numb, and his body jumped up uncontrollably, letting out a low shout, "Hold the grass!" β
No matter how strong Ye Xun's ability is, after all, he can't insulate himself, and he will still feel very uncomfortable when he is beaten with an electric baton.
The old man outside smiled evilly, "When you get to this place, don't think you can run." β
"Not necessarily!"
Ye Xun's eyes were cold, and he shook his arm, and pieces of scale armor burst up quickly, quickly covering the entire arm, and he was about to use the fastest speed to get the old man, when a very terrible scream suddenly came from his ears,
"Ah...... Save me! β
What's wrong?
Ye Xun was confused, and hurriedly turned his gaze back, and the scene that followed suddenly made Ye Xun's whole person become sluggish.
I saw that on the bare trunk, a large number of vines were squirming rapidly, and they were actually thrown out like a long whip, entangled Zhao Yanan's body very strangely, and dragged her under the trunk.
And Zhao Yanan fell to the ground, waving weakly on all fours, shouting at Ye Xun.
"Is this really a man-eating tree?"
The strange scene suddenly made Ye Xun stupid, seeing that Zhao Yanan had been dragged away by the tree vines, he reacted suddenly, pressed his toes on the ground, kicked hard, and his body immediately became a shadow, jumping straight to Zhao Yanan's side, his five fingers were stretched, and he clenched the strange vines that extended over fiercely, stopping it from continuing to drag Zhao Yanan.
But at this moment, there were more strange vines around him, like octopuses, wriggling strangely and exaggeratedly in the air, trying to drag Ye Xun in.
"It seems that as long as you get close to this tree at a certain distance, you will be immediately attacked by these tree vines, this thing is really wrong!"
A thought flashed in Ye Xun's mind, and when he concentrated his strength on his arm, he grabbed the vine and pulled it with force.
Smack!
A few thumb-thick vines immediately snapped, and where the vines were forcibly torn off, a stream of pus-filled dark green juice splattered out, as if oozing blood.
Depend on!
Ye Xun scolded secretly, hurriedly stretched out his hand, and threw Zhao Yanan, who had just escaped from the predicament, behind him, and with the other hand, he waved the Swiss Army knife wildly, slashing at a large number of vines hanging from above.
After a few cuts, the vines were forcibly cut off, and the broken vines fell to the ground in unison, still not inactive, like earthworms jumping strangely on the ground, and the broken cuts oozed large thick green juice, exuding a smell similar to blood.
