Chapter Twenty-Six: Traps and Underground Bamboo Shoots
Ignoring the heavy rain from the sky, he immediately strengthened his five senses, looked around with his eyes down, his ears pricked up, listened to the sound of wind and rain, inhaled repeatedly in his nose, sniffing even the slightest trace of information.
However, except for the pouring rain, everything is normal.
Xu Yunshu took a light step and retreated towards the cave behind him, there was definitely an invisible threat in the narrow passage, he couldn't just go forward to explore just to satisfy his curiosity.
He was backing up, and his right hind leg suddenly stepped on a soft depression.
The Dream Forest was full of decaying things, and Xu Yunshu had long been accustomed to the potholes and shallows when he was running around in the forest.
But this time the place I stepped on was different.
The enhancement of the five senses includes the enhancement of the sense of touch.
The feeling of stepping on his hind legs was completely different from the shallow pit he usually stepped on, he seemed to be stepping on a huge empty deep pit, accompanied by dust, countless dead branches and rotten leaves fell into depressions, forming a huge pit.
Xu Yunshu was full of excitement, and when he heard the rough friction sound of an unknown object under the deep pit, a huge sense of crisis surged into his heart, but at this time, the center of gravity was already unbalanced, his entire body suddenly skewed, and a sense of weightlessness swept through his body.
He fell on his back into the pit.
He could see the gloomy clouds in the sky, the grinding sound of gears clashing, and the faint whirlwind of the hair on his back in his enhanced tactile perception.
Crisis is coming!
Xu Yunshu's white wolf body was stronger than the main body, strengthening his brain the moment he fell into the pit, and analyzing the current situation thoroughly.
He stepped into a trap.
This trap was excavated by an unknown creature after he swallowed the colorful bird's egg and left the canyon.
The creature took a fancy to the strange structure of the valley and set a trap and ambush on the only narrow road that could enter and exit the valley, killing countless creatures.
Now, it's him who catches the trap.
He could see the edge of the pit, proving that it was not wide.
There is still a chance to save yourself!
Xu Yunshu's mind is electrifying, overclocking and strengthening, creating organs from flesh and blood from nowhere!
Eight strong tendons suddenly protruded from the chest, and the head was connected to a hard and sharp barbed bone spur, and these eight tendons were ejected by the tense muscles, shooting a perfect parabola in eight directions like sharp arrows, and landed on the ground next to the deep pit.
Xu Yunshu's figure was still falling, and eight bone spurs with tendons and tendons were sliding on the ground, and the barbs on the bone spurs ploughed the ground into tiny deep grooves.
A second later, the bone spur barb clasped tightly to the ground, and the eight tendons collapsed straight, lifting Xu Yunshu and falling into the air of the deep pit trap.
He had time to glance down.
Just this glance made Xu Yunshu's scalp numb, and his hair stood up.
At the bottom of the pit, it was not some kind of animal he imagined, but a strange plant like a bamboo shoot.
Buried deep in the ground, this dark-skinned plant activates when the pit trap is trampled on, and its tips bloom in layers, forming a circle of sharp, triangular blades that resemble the teeth of a giant shark, emitting a chilling glow.
What's even more terrifying is that these layers of sharp blades are constantly rotating at a slow speed, and the friction sound Xu Yunshu heard comes from its rotation.
It is like a naturally formed crusher, once any living creature falls, it will inevitably be cut by thousands of knives, broken into thousands of pieces, and become the nourishment of the bamboo shoots in the ground.
Xu Yunshu instantly understood why the bones of the animals on the passage were shattered.
This underground bamboo shoot does not see sunlight all year round, but it has its own set of survival rules, and the passing animals are their own nutrients!
There are not many trees in the valley, and the humus layer on the ground is not thick, which makes Xu Yunshu's barb bone spur come in handy, but after all, it is still the soil that is hooked, and the barb is only hanging for less than a second, and it has been loosened, Xu Yunshu's body suddenly slammed downward, startling his heart wildly.
Four of the eight tendons could no longer hook the ground and slipped to the bottom of the pit, Xu Yunshu immediately made a decision, cutting off the connection between these four tendons and his body.
The four tendons fell onto the slowly rotating blade set, splitting into countless pieces in an instant.
Xu Yunshu had to strengthen the overclocking state again, and an arm with thick muscles grew from the top of his head, and grabbed the ground outside the pit with his palm, moving slowly, and the ground collapsed due to bearing Xu Yunshu's full weight.
He's in a race against time.
A little bit, inch by inch, controlling the center of gravity, impartially, a path of less than two meters, Xu Yunshu moved for two minutes.
When his body finally approached the edge of the deep pit, the edge soil that had been subjected to too much gravity collapsed, and Xu Yunshu stretched out his limbs, reached out his claws, and grabbed the wall of the deep pit fiercely, and only at this time did he dare to gasp for air.
In the next second, he used all fours and climbed out of the pit with difficulty, and lifted the overclocking state.
This time he escaped from death, Xu Yunshu can be said to have suffered a heavy loss, his potential talent is to adapt to evolution, if he only maintains the enhanced state, it will not consume too much energy, it can be maintained for a long time, and the more strengthened parts are opened, the greater the energy loss.
Overall, though, the amount of energy consumed by boosting is not comparable to that of overclocking.
The last time he fought the Sabertooth Tiger, the flesh energy consumed by the overclocking state had just been replenished, and now it had consumed most of it.
But fortunately, his life was saved, and as long as he could survive, everything would still have a chance.
The cave sheltered from the rain was not far in front of him, Xu Yunshu learned a lesson, and became more and more cautious when he walked forward, and walked for a full three minutes before he arrived in the cave.
It wasn't until he entered the cave that Xu Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, and when he turned his head to look at the pit again, something that shocked him appeared in front of him.
As if because of the inability to feel the breath of the creature, the tooth-aching grinding sound disappeared, and the spinning underground bamboo shoots seemed to have stopped rotating.
After that, the bamboo shoots in the ground grew wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in less than ten minutes, the deep pit that could sink him into it had been blocked, and replaced by huge "bamboo shoots" growing on the ground.
It took only ten minutes for a giant plant to fully mature, and then a dozen tiny shoots stretched out from the main stem, and after five or six minutes, small blood-red flowers bloomed on the shoots.
Heavy rains are still pouring down on the earth.
The fast-growing plant also seemed to have been affected by the heavy rain, and many of the flowers were knocked down by the rain, but there were still seven or eight lucky ones who succeeded in bearing fruit, and as the fruit grew larger, the giant spire-like plant gradually softened until the blood-red fruit fell to the ground and rolled not far away, and the small grinding sound sounded again.
Xu Yunshu watched as the parts of these dark red fruits touching the ground cracked into tiny openings, grinding the ground with a tiny crusher, and slowly burrowing into the ground.
The mother plant seemed to have fulfilled its mission, wilting and slumping on the ground, slowly dissolving into fine powder, filling the deep pit where it had grown.
The whole process of reproduction took less than half an hour.
They are simply the seventeen-year-old cicadas of the plant kingdom.
