The crowd walked through the rainforest-like city, with unknown shrubs, grasses, and giant trees along the way, and only a huge canopy could be seen when they looked up.
A variety of mushrooms and ferns grow from the dead leaves.
There was no road, so Pan Zi and Ma Qiang took a long knife and slashed down a one-person-high bush in front of them to open the way.
"Do you think it's too quiet here?"
Dai Meng whispered.
In this rainforest-like environment, there should be a whole set of ecosystems, even in the last days, it should not be so quiet.
Anyway, in such a dense plant tissue, there should be some small animals and insects.
But after walking for ten minutes, I didn't see a single bug.
It is obvious that something is not normal here, Ruan Yu said: "Follow closely, don't get separated." β
It's full of trees and bushes, there's nothing hallmarked, and once you get separated, it's hard to find people.
After walking for another five minutes, it suddenly became clear that there was a small lake in the middle, surrounded by towering trees.
The water of the lake was turquoise, and a leaf swirled and fell on the surface of the lake, but it did not stir up a ripple.
There was silence all around, and the bare roots of the trees were covered with moss, and mushrooms were growing.
"After walking for so long, let alone a human figure, I haven't even seen a zombie, this place won't have become a dead city, right?" Pan Zi thrust the long knife into the ground, took two steps forward, and looked around, "Boss, do we still have to go forward?" β
Ruan Yu's eyes swept around, this place is really surprisingly quiet, there has been no trace of human existence along the way, the water source is precious, but there is not a single footprint around the small lake, I think there should be no living creatures here.
But if you come in from outside the city, you must pass through here, and if no one passes by, it only means that those people have not been able to come here, could it be that those two groups of people are planted on the vines and man-eating flowers outside the city?
It's unlikely, that group of mercenaries is not weak, and there are quite a few of them, and they can run away if they can't beat them, and it's impossible to fold outside the city.
Is there any other way into the city?
"Yama." Ruan Yu looked at Yan Luo, who was leaning on a big tree in a cold sweat behind the crowd, and suddenly frowned slightly.
"Ah, big guy, you call me?"
Yama Luo was excited, opened his heavy eyelids, and hurriedly straightened up, but his eyes suddenly dizzy, and he hurriedly helped the trunk of the tree next to him so that he did not fall.
Ruan Yu: "Are you uncomfortable?" β
Yan Luo hurriedly shook his head and said nervously: "No, no, I'm very good, big guy, don't worry, I will definitely be able to take you to find someone else." β
He knew that he didn't have the ability, and in this team he was dragging oil bottles, and in previous dungeons, sometimes when he encountered a team, the weakest one in the team would usually be discarded.
No one will carry a presence that drags its feet.
Now, he is the weakest one in this team, in this case, he has no ability to protect himself and is sick again, once he encounters danger, he will definitely be abandoned as an outsider.
The only thing he can rely on is that he knows about the existence of other players, and he may still be of use to Ruan Yu.
But it is also difficult to ensure that Ruan Yu will solve him first when he has already arrived in Jing'an City.
After all, that's the ultimate boss of this dungeon!
Ruan Yu glanced at his burning red face, and said lightly: "Oh, I still want to ask if you need medicine, but you are different from us, and our things should be useless to you." β
Yan Luo's heavy eyes suddenly widened, his face was happy, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, it needs to be useful, it is useful, big guy, do you have medicine?" β
Isn't medicine precious in the last days, and the big guy is really willing to give it to him?
"If you're sick, I'll have medicine." Ruan Yu didn't want to have a laggard in the team, besides, Yan Luo still had use value, and he couldn't die for the time being.
Yan Luo was suddenly moved to tears, and he was about to go to Ruan Yu to get medicine.
But suddenly something crawled over the hand holding the tree, and it tickled.
Suddenly, the hairs stood on end, it couldn't be a snake!
He hurriedly withdrew his hand, but he couldn't.
When I turned my head, it turned out to be a finger-thick vine, and the rhizome was covered with fine fleshy thorns, but it didn't pierce people.
It wasn't a snake, it wasn't the weird vine I had encountered outside the city before.
But the vine moved, and kept climbing up his arm.
Sensing that he wanted to run, the vine suddenly tightened.
Yama screamed in pain, and Chaos' brain instantly woke up.
The vine gradually squeezed into the flesh, and the arm was swollen and purple.
Yama's frightened pupils constricted, and he ran desperately outward, flicking his arms and trying to break away.
But the more he struggled, the tighter the vine wrapped.
"Helpβ"
Qin Yu looked around vigilantly, thinking that it was the kind of blood-sucking vine he encountered outside the city, "Everyone be careful." β
Everyone suddenly became nervous, and the vines covered with suckers and mouthparts were really numb.
So much so that no one cares whether Yama lives or dies.
Ruan Yu took the big knife in Pan Zi's hand and walked towards Yama.
"Don't scream, if you attract something, you'll die faster."
Yama suddenly closed his mouth in fright, but fear and fear came out of his eyes.
Ruan Yu stood in front of Yama and looked at it for a while, and saw that the vine was similar to an ordinary vine, and there was nothing strange about it, the only strange thing was that this vine was crawling towards Yama every second, and the stems and vines were constantly shrinking like snakes entangled around the prey, as if they were going to strangle the prey to death.
This Ruan Yu has seen an introduction on the Internet before, strangled vine, a semi-epiphytic plant, and dodder flowers, strangled vine has independent roots, its root system will dig into the soil, and the attached trunk to grab water and nutrients, climbing the trunk to grow upward.
Its vitality is extremely vigorous, and its roots grow more and more, tangled with the roots of the tree, and finally the tree is almost completely trapped in its net, suffocating to death.
It may seem like a weak vine, but once it clings to a tree, it will grow and spread rapidly until it obscures the sky.
On the stout tree next to it, the root strangulation vine winds up, and the vine body is tightly wrapped into the trunk, and it won't be long before the tree will be entangled and killed.
However, the strangulation vine in front of him doesn't seem to have mutated very much, at least for so long, it has just crawled all over Yama's arm.
"Big guy, help me, I don't want to die." Yan Luo watched Ruan Yu approach him, thinking that he saw hope, but why didn't the big guy do it, his arm was about to be broken.
After Ruan Yu confirmed that there was nothing else unusual about this strangulation vine, he aimed at Yama's arm and raised his big knife.
It's just that before he could cut it down, Yama Luo exclaimed, "Big guy, what are you going to do, don't cut off my arm, woo woo woo woo ......"
He didn't want to become a one-armed man and lose an arm, he definitely wouldn't be able to survive in this dense forest!
Ruan Yu ignored his exclamation, and the knife fell in his hand, and the vine wrapped around Yan Luo's arm was suddenly loosened, breaking into several pieces and falling to the ground.
"Ahhh
Yama was still screaming with his eyes closed.
Ruan Yu only felt panicked, and raised his hand to pinch his bloody arm.
"Hiss~ Pain, pain, big guy, let go, my arm is going to break...... Hey, my arm is still there? β
Yan Luo suddenly looked at his arm in surprise, his arm was hurt by the vine before, and now the vine is gone, leaving only a circle of deep bone strangulation marks on his arm, and the pain also hit the brain instantly, especially Ruan Yu also pinched his wound, which really hurt to the bones.
Ruan Yu let go of his hand and wiped twice on his clothes, wiping the blood from his hands.
Ruan Rui picked up a severed vine, observed it carefully, and asked, "Sister, what is this, it doesn't look like a mutated one." β
At least the mutated shapes of the vampire vines and man-eating flowers encountered before were terrifying.
"The strangulation vine, once it entangles you, will strangle you to death, just like a snake strangles its prey." Ruan Yu glanced at several large trees nearby, all of them were clean, only this one was wrapped with strangulation vines.
She said to Yama, who was still sobbing and choking, "Don't cry, lead the way first and get out of here." β
Yama had no choice but to endure the pain and physical discomfort, and checked the location of the other players' points from his mind, leading the way in front.
The body is still sick, and one arm is about to be scrapped, and he has to be threatened by the boss.
Yama was so uncomfortable that he wanted to be killed by his head, and he led the way in front with tears in his eyes, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and his body was shaky.
Behind, Ruan Yu lowered his voice and asked Ruan Yu, "Sister, that person is so wasteful, why do you want to take it." β
