Chapter 45: Black Mist Labyrinth (9)
Maybe it was because of the trees, but she didn't see anyone along the way.
Qian Hong paused in the treetops for a moment: "It's so far away." "Gotta move faster.
No matter how fast the zipline is, it can't be faster than an electric car, and although it is a bit troublesome to drive in a straight line in the woods, she still chooses the fastest method for convenience.
Qian Hong was methodically heading towards the giant tree when she suddenly heard something.
"Help... Help me..."
It's a very weak voice, if it weren't for Qianhong, she just happened to drive a little slowly, and it is estimated that she couldn't hear it and drove it directly.
I often hear it in the last days, but Qianhong pretends not to hear it and goes directly, and plans to do it this time.
Qian Hong was about to drive away and speed up, when the weak voice sounded again: "Help me... Save me... I'll give you a study report on plant growth and black fog... Ah, water and books are also given to you..."
“……”
She pondered for a moment, then walked over to the source of the sound.
Qian Hong opened the branch and saw a woman lying on the ground with many wounds, with white hair, a large pair of glasses on her face, a tattered lab coat, and a witch hat on her head.
There is a wonderful feeling of a combination of Western witches and modern medical clothing.
Qian Hong slowly helped her up from behind, and the woman took out some pills from her bag and ate them.
Qian Hong cautiously spoke: "You... Need my help treating a wound? ”
"No, just help me get some vines for this big guy underground."
The woman's voice instantly changed from weak and powerless to sonorous and powerful, and she said energetically: "I came out of the house and found a bunch of new species, which must be studied carefully!" ”
"......" was deceived.
As soon as Qian Hong wanted to turn around and leave, the woman had already seen her intentions: "Wait! Wait a minute! Don't go, what I just said counts, research reports on what you want, or water and food, I'll give you everything! As long as you help me cut some vines with this guy. ”
She looked at the woman with suspicion: "How do I know if you are telling the truth or a lie?" ”
The woman waved her hand, then knelt down and kowtowed three times on the spot: "Oops, please!" ”
This time she was embarrassed: "I don't have to make this big gift..."
I don't know why, Qianhong's first reaction when she saw her kneeling was an inexplicable sense of pleasure, and when she saw the woman's back, she had a feeling of wanting to stab down.
And when she saw the woman's red forehead, she had an inexplicable sadistic desire to beat her head until it bleeds.
She quickly shook her head and shook this bad thought out of her head: "Strange... Why do I have this thought? ”
After taking a deep breath, Qian Hong continued to look around, checking on the enemy.
"Where? What you said..."
Before the words could be spoken, Qian Hong saw a bulge in the distance, and looked at what should be an unknown object underground, which was rapidly stabbing towards their place.
Qianhong just wanted to remind the woman, but when she turned her head, she saw that she didn't know where to take out a broom, and hid on the top of the tree with the broom, and said to her with a smile: "Come on!" ”
“……”
The corners of Qianhong's mouth twitched, and he poured out the blood from the bottle, concentrating on the enemy in front of him.
I didn't see the main body, but I could only see its vines first, one by one out of the ground, and stabbed at Qianhong.
The blood formed an unbreakable protective shield in an instant, and she pulled out the match, and as she stepped back, she teleported the cooking oil canister and threw it directly in front of her, then lit the match and threw it at the floor and vines.
This is the forest, and even if the vines are extinguished and all the matches are struck, there will inevitably be sparks on the oil.
Qian Hong's face was expressionless and controlled the protective shield, and he watched indifferently as the thing in front of him burned, and the plant let out a baby-like scream.
"Wow... It's a forest! Aren't you afraid of burning yourself? ”
The woman at the top of the tree said anxiously, "Hurry up and run, remember to bring the vines!" ”
Qian Hong didn't know why she could get excited when she heard the screams of the plants.
When she heard the woman say, "Burn yourself," the first thought that popped into her head was, "Let the fire grow bigger and burn everyone in the forest." ”
Qian Hong shook her head and came back to her senses.
The plant body in front of him has been forced out of the ground, and it looks like a green thorn ball several people high, slapping the place on fire on his body with vines.
The fiery vine frantically attacked Crimson, unable to break the shield no matter what, and in a fit of rage, it tore over the ground beneath her feet.
Qian Hong didn't react for a while and was knocked to the ground, just to disrupt the terrifying thoughts in her mind, and she rolled to the side urgently.
The blood extinguishes the flames, but the liquid evaporates.
Qian Hong controlled the cutting of the vine that attacked her, and dodged as she watched the vine's attack.
The flames burned its thick shell, and the vines' attack weakened, and she found an opportunity to cut the plant in half at once.
Qian Hong dug up a little bit of the plant's flesh, took away a few plant vines and left, if she didn't leave, she would really be burned to death by herself.
The woman saw that she had finally come to her senses, and hurriedly said to Qianhong, "Come with me." ”
After saying that, he flew away on a broomstick.
Qianhong rode an electric car to catch up. She had lost a lot of blood because she had been evaporated by the flames in the battle just now, and she could only keep extracting it from herself.
"Why do you always feel a little unconscious just now..."
Obviously, I didn't want to set it on fire just now, but in a blink of an eye, the fire burned in a daze.
Qian Hong scratched her head suspiciously, so she could only let go of these worries first and follow this strange woman first.
Through the layers of woods, she finally returned to the cabin.
Qian Hong looked curiously at the woman in the wooden house who was smiling and waving to her, and asked, "Are you the owner of this wooden house?" ”
The woman nodded proudly: "Yes, this is a place I built with my own hands!" ”
Then she looked at the wooden house and said nostalgically: "I didn't expect it to collapse after more than ten years... Oh yes! My name is Eleni and I'm a researcher here who specializes in plants and trees, so you can tell me what you need! ”
Qian Hong thought that it was an NPC, and it was a miracle that her books were not stolen in this wooden house.
After listening to what Eleni said, she remembered her purpose and handed her the vines and plant flesh before she said, "I want to know about the black fog research you discovered. ”
After hearing this, Eleni smiled and said, "Well, many people have asked me about this, and then they can't communicate. But if you ask, I'll show you all my research. ”
She pulled out a notebook from her backpack and handed it to Qianhong.
Slowly, I started to flip through the first page.
"Black Mist... The fog gets thicker and thicker depending on the location, and people who spend too much time in a thick black fog will gradually become crazy people who only know how to fight and kill. ”
"Plants that grow at the edge of the black fog also mutate, transforming into extremely aggressive species and feeding on human or animal bones."
"It has been preliminarily found that under certain circumstances, the black fog can accumulate and appear in another form, which looks much like a door."
"After dissecting non-breathing species, it has been tested that this black fog will penetrate into every species, and there is no way to make the black fog disappear."
……
Qian Hong read for a long, long time, extracting these most useful messages from a bunch of incomprehensible terms.
She finally understood why she was in that state just now.
