Chapter 179: A Worm Face
"Xiaoshan, you just stay here and wait for me." After finishing speaking, Shi Liang didn't say much, and alone picked up the huge severed limb that fell to the ground, walked a few steps forward, and hurried to the deepest part of the oasis.
This is a small world that is not very large, the more you go inside, the more lush new greenery, everything is natural, naturally with many exotic unique chic and elegant, so that this place is more vibrant.
In the green field of shrubs, in addition to the many dwarf shuttles that are common in nature, there are also many very strange and sparse unknown grasses, which are scattered and coexist with each other.
It wasn't even a few steps before Shi Liang was shocked by everything he saw in front of him, and his face was incredulous.
Those who are familiar with him naturally know that he has indeed led a team alone in Yujie Town in recent years, and it is inevitable that he will encounter some actions that require trekking through mountains and rivers in his daily life, and some grass and tree identification skills that must be mastered to survive in the wild, and he is naturally proficient.
In addition, in order to go to the appointment of the Ziyan Division in person, the man has developed the habit of studying diligently in the hard training, and the accumulated classics and various travelogues and miscellaneous records that he has swept through the Pavilion Library are naturally only more and not less, and for those plants and trees that grow in the mountains and wilderness, he can indeed have some good knowledge.
Although many places in this barren land are isolated from the world, and some vegetation ecology is indeed quite peculiar, Shi Liang is still confident, and he can still distinguish two or three out of ten species.
But this time, Shi Liang obviously didn't expect that in such a small oasis wilderness, the abundance of rare vegetation species was far beyond all his current cognition. Moreover, this was just a cursory glance at him, and there were already more than a dozen rare and scarce medicinal herbs that jumped into his eyes.
The most important thing is that they are still growing very well.
The man's heart naturally couldn't help but give birth to some feelings: the beautiful name of the oasis treasure land on the barren Gobi is really not completely false.
And in this mountain and wilderness, the most luxuriant growth, when there is an unknown grass that is about to bloom and bloom, the stem is fleshy, the leaves are pale yellow, in a spiral arrangement, scaly and sessile, but it protrudes many thumb-sized axillary buds, with buds to be released, stepping on the soles of people's feet is somewhat heartfelt.
The flowers that are about to bloom will always make people feel a sense of guilt that they can't bear to destroy, and the inexplicable discomfort will somewhat inhibit some people's consciousness of it. It's just that the current Shi Liang is obviously not among them, he just has the least time to have the kung fu to pity Xiang, so he just gritted his teeth and continued to shoot meteor arrows, never stopping for a moment.
Of course, a man who is worried about his heart will forcibly suppress his curiosity about the surroundings, walk in a hurry, and continue to stride forward.
This time he walked a little too fast, probably not even realizing that the strange plants under his feet, which he couldn't even name, had been crushed by his feet, and he began to tremble faintly and faintly so faintly that it was not easy to detect.
However, these are no longer important to Shi Liang now.
It takes about a dozen steps to continue the repetition. A small lake with more than a dozen acres of fields has jumped into his eyes, and the early sun is sprinkled on the clear lake, like a mirror, extremely bright.
The man with a worried face was anxious about Xiaolan's safety at this time, and of course he didn't have a trace of leisure to enjoy the superb scenery.
However, the footsteps were about to continue, but just before he was about to step on the water's edge, he stopped!
A terrible scene that could make Shi Liang completely stunned all of a sudden, and instantly fall into deep horror suddenly appeared!
When he glanced at the surface of the lake in a hurry, the reflection of the water surface that was supposed to reflect his own appearance was very sudden, and it became a terrifying face like a firefly!
A pair of large, blue-red compound eyes, close to the eyebrows, exaggerated together; The fluttering tentacles are long and thin, and they are flirting on both sides of the scales of the worm's cheeks, what a strange and absurd picture!
Like illusion, in the trance, there are many more prominent realities.
"I..."
Shi Liang blinked his eyes unconsciously.
The next moment, the countless densely arranged small eyeballs in the insect's compound eyes began to move naturally with him, and soon reflected in the man's pupils again.
The picture is terrifying!
In an instant, it ignited the fragility and fear that Shi Liang had been suppressing in his heart and hiding in the deepest part of his heart.
Yes, he was frightened by the scene that jumped out in front of his eyes, cold sweat puffed, his pupils dilated instantly, and he froze in place, and there was no sound for a long time.
It wasn't until a long time later that the stiff man shook his heavy head very unconsciously and closed his eyes in exhaustion.
One, two, three!
The man opened his eyes again, and the strange picture from before disappeared.
Everything just now seemed like a dream that had never happened before, and the fog dissipated.
The sweet breeze blew Shi Liang's face, with a little quiet wetness, across the calm lake of the microwave ripples, gently shaking the man's reflection on the water, the whole world seemed to have completely returned to the right track, and once again flashed back to what it should have been shown.
Shi Liang touched his cheek, and once again carefully confirmed that his appearance was still correct, so he couldn't help but shake his head again, pinched the bridge of his nose, and laughed at himself: "Maybe I'm too tired lately." ”
However, it was the self-reminder of this sentence, but it suddenly broke the strange calm in his heart, and instantly touched his nerves that should have been a little insensitive!
Wrong!
The man suddenly realizes that something is not quite right with everything in front of him!
Yes!
It's so wrong!
He shouldn't have forgotten that this is not a big little oasis, but more than twenty greedy and vicious sand bandits have just broken in!
How can everything be like this, still a wild grass, even if there is not even a footprint left!
"Brother! What are you doing? Hurry up and go home, my dad is back. ”
Just as Shi Liang was still thinking about it, a delicate call suddenly sounded in his ears that he hadn't heard for a long time.
"Xiaohua, what's wrong with you?"
Shi Liang was stunned, a little incredulous, but when he looked up, he found that his little sister, who had been missing for a long time, was still jumping up and down as before, walking towards him in three or two steps, and suddenly hugged his arm.
"My dad is back." Shi Hua smiled very happily, obviously because the second uncle had been away from home for too long, and it was rare for him to leave the camp today, "He's looking for you!" ”
"Second uncle!"
Shi Liang's heart twitched again, and he couldn't believe the truth in front of him.
However, all these things in front of me are not the best vision that I want to find back in my heart!
Such a picture may be a little illusory, but it makes him unconsciously hope that everything is real!
The separation between ideals and reality made him have to cover his head very unconsciously, and ask his heart in pain: 'Second uncle, isn't he already dead in battle?' ’
This is a self-question full of sadness, and it is obvious that he has not been able to say it at this time.
Time seemed to fall into eternity, but it seemed as if only a second had passed, and the weak man's arm shook, and a slender insect limb that replaced the bone passed in a flash.
Just as he opened his eyes again, he found that his little sister, who had not seen him for a long time, had all become dense and intertwined thin vines, and at this time, it was as if he had been frightened by some terrifying and extremely terrifying speed, which was already visible to the naked eye as far as the plant was concerned, and was slowly pulling away from his body.
"Ugh!"
Shi Liang began his struggle with difficulty, and it was very easy to completely overturn the vegetation around him, and he sat up suddenly, and then looked around, and finally slowly calmed down from his shock.
At this time, he found that his surroundings were already crawling with small yellow flowers blooming, full of goose yellow, swaying in the wind.
Where is there a little sister here!
Except for a faint hint of fishy sweet floral fragrance, which is surging with the wind on the shore of the smoky little lake, it is becoming more and more intense, and there is nothing else!
"Is this what is called a mirage?" Recalling what he had just experienced, Shi Liang seemed to have an understanding.
Looking at the slightly bulging flowers not far away, he suddenly realized that he was really anxious just now, so much so that he didn't realize that he had been unconsciously given the way by this little flower.
These inconspicuous little flowers in front of me, which cannot be named, probably rely on the special pollen that can make people hallucinate just now, to confuse those travelers who have fallen into despair, slowly drag them into the abyss, and quietly suck their bodies dry little by little, so as to obtain enough nutrients for their own growth and reproduction.
Of course, according to common sense, the actual effect of this very passive hallucinogenic method is often not ideal.
People with a little stronger willpower are often able to overcome illusions quickly, which is why they leave behind so many mirage legends and warnings.
Unless there is a situation, those travelers who have inhaled the fragrance of flowers are still in the abyss of despair of being lost one moment, and the next second, because they have discovered the oasis, and they think that they are rich, and when they are seeking to survive and get rich, their minds will rise and fall, and when their minds are lost, they will finally fall into the psychedelia and cannot get out.
As for why this flower has not bloomed until now? Shi Liang didn't think of an answer.
And he does have more important things to do now.
