Chapter Seventy-Eight: Under the Tree Hole
I don't know how long it has been.
When you pass through the boundary of the tree hole and reach the end of the depths, it is as if you have entered a new fantasy world.
An old, moist air rushed to his face, invading his nasal passages with the scent of soil, decay, and unknown creatures.
It was pitch black all around, with only a little glimmer of light shining on the ground through the cracks in the canopy of this world, like a river of stars flowing in the night sky.
Under his feet is the soft moss, surrounded by intertwined roots, which rise high and spread into the depths, like a huge labyrinth.
I don't know what faint light is emitting in the darkness, and it slowly shines like a jewel set in the night.
The reverberation of the ground is very clear, it is the sound of a gurgling stream, or the friction of some kind of animal or animal, very subtle, and extremely obvious, and even the sound is in the ears that makes people have to be vigilant.
In the dark, imagination is infinitely magnified, unknown fear and curiosity are intertwined, Hao Dongran took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and touched the cigarette case, at this moment only a cigarette can suppress the restlessness in his heart.
"Here... How can there be an underground world...", after a long time, Liang Gong took a deep breath, his eyes still trembling in disbelief.
"It's outrageous, I didn't expect it to be such a scene after going deep into this giant tree", Hoshino took out the detector, and handed Hao Dongran and Chen Xiaobei a mask and said: "Put it on, it may be poisonous"
Hao Dongran nodded, glanced at Chen Xiaobei, this guy was very happy, and he didn't hesitate to put it on his face directly.
Four people and one person are the god masks of the cherry blossom country, not to mention these inexplicable worship of the cherry blossom country, this is admirable, no matter what they do, there must be some kind of symbol of their country.
Hao Dongran's face is the famous fire-spitting male mask of Sakura Country, while Chen Xiaobei's is a geisha, and Suzumiya and Hoshino are anime characters from their country, Hao Dongran is a little familiar, but he can't remember what to call it suddenly.
The world seems to be a forgotten secret of nature, and the light is not so thick, only the sky twinkles like stars.
Hoshino and Lianggong got a lot of instruments in the same place, and even some Hao Dongran was very amazed, what did they stuff things into when they were so big...
"Sister, the oxygen here is very good at the moment, and the purity has even reached twice that on the ground."
"It's not pure oxygen, but the energy contained in it far exceeds the ground, no wonder the plants here are so huge," said Suzumiya, dragging a weed from the ground.
It can be seen that the root system of this wild grass is extremely developed, and the intricate grass roots, not to mention the ground, even a mature green onion is not as developed as its root system.
Although the body is only the length of an adult's arm and the thickness of a thumb, the rhizome is actually thicker than the body, and even when Liang Gong pulled it out, he wasted some strength.
", this is ginseng, you have to hurry, don't let it run", Hao Dongran hurriedly stepped forward and touched the root system of this grass full of amazement.
Liang Gong was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Will people run around the meeting?" ”
"Of course! You must have never seen the wild mountain ginseng in Changbai Mountain, that guy can't hold it with one hand, and he will run away on the ground", Hao Dongran said with a divine blow, and took a bite of it, after all, ginseng is a thing that can be replenished.
The two women looked at each other, and the confusion in their eyes could be seen.
"It's not ginseng, it's just an ordinary weed, it's just why it grows so thick"
"If the root system is very developed, it can only mean that the nutrients in the underground soil have been excessive, and the root system has developed and matured before it can even be transmitted to the body", Chen Xiaobei stepped forward, looked at the grass roots and came to a conclusion, pulling the grass roots out of Hao Dongran's mouth.
"Then let's test the soil", Hoshino nodded, and prepared again with Suzumiya.
But at this moment, Hao Dongran suddenly looked to the left, and blinked his eyes, except for the darkness, there was nothing but the vague stars and light spots around him.
I thought it was my own delusion, but I just came back to my senses, but I noticed a black shadow running from the left!
"Who!" , Hao Dongran's throat was snorting, and he was panicked in his heart.
He is not afraid of the walking corpse, and now he is not afraid of Wanning, he is afraid of this kind of ghost.
This kind of unknown creature feels numb in the bottom of my heart wherever it is placed, especially in this kind of ghost place.
Chen Xiaobei looked puzzled and looked at the direction of Hao Dongran, but he didn't see anything, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
"I just... Looks like seeing something, whoosh! Ran past me! Hao Dongran gestured with his hand, causing Chen Xiaobei to frown slightly: "You won't be scared, right..."
"It's okay, Master is here, you can't lean on my side"
Hao Dongran nodded, no longer continued to speak, but came to Chen Xiaobei's side, vigilantly scanning the surrounding environment in the darkness.
He refused to believe that he had seen it wrong just now, not to mention anything else, Hao Dongran asked himself in his heart, his eyes can be described as the existence of the most thief, and no one can escape under his eyes.
Just when Hao Dongran was vigilant around, Liang Gong let out an exclamation.
The eyes of the other three people converged in an instant, and when they heard her say that the nutrients in the soil had exceeded the average fifteen times.
Hao Dongran suddenly frowned, looked at the position behind him, and saw a black shadow disappearing into the darkness in a flash!
"it!"
"I saw it! I really saw it! ”
Chen Xiaobei looked carefully at the position pointed by Hao Dongran, not to mention what Hao Dongran saw, with Chen Xiaobei's own five senses, if there was any creature here, how could she not notice it.
"Don't make a fuss, maybe you have some fear of the dark, if you can't do it, you can hold my hand"
"So... Maybe it can be better", Chen Xiaobei said, the quieter his voice became, but he still grabbed Hao Dongran's right hand and gestured for comfort.
"Master, I really see something", Hao Dongran swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and leaned towards Chen Xiaobei again, to be honest, Chen Xiaobei's fragrance is really amazing.
It's like a locust flower, clear and charming, which makes Hao Dongran a little stunned, and even sucked hard, causing Chen Xiaobei's cheeks to flush instantly.
couldn't help but reprimand: "What are you doing! ...”
"It's so fragrant...", Hao Dongran retracted his head and said with some embarrassment.
"I know, but you don't want to be so close, okay... I'm ashamed", Chen Xiaobei blushed and shook off Hao Dongran's hand, she was a big girl with yellow flowers, this guy still talked to him every day...
It's really unbearable for Chen Xiaobei to be ashamed, no matter how he says that he is his master, don't do things like this... It's too much.
"Don't keep flirting"
"I've tested the oxygen content here, and the soil composition."
"If there are no accidents, there should be no living creatures, only plants can survive here", Liang Gong stood up, put away the instrument and said softly.
"I really saw something just now, whoosh! It's passed over there! Hao Dongran explained again.
"It may not be an illusion, but the natural movement of plant roots or limbs"
"In this kind of place, the nutrient content is too high, and there is no light, it is difficult for organisms to survive, not to mention that the temperature in the deep area has decreased, which is close to freezing."
"There's only one possibility, there's a layer down here, and the layer below may have been left a long, long time ago"
"And I still can't analyze the reasons for the formation here, I still need to explore," said Liang Gong, taking two brooches from his sister Hoshino and handing them to Hao Dongran and Chen Xiaobei.
He added: "This brooch is worn on the body, which can keep the body at a constant temperature, in case the temperature below is really low, and you need to go down"
"With this thing, it can also ensure that our personnel will not be harmed"
Hoshino picked up a palm-sized doll, handed it to Hao Dongran and said, "You take it, it's my care for you."
With that toothy and smiling face, I have to say that the little girl in the cherry blossom country just knows how to make men like.
"So how much area have you tested over here?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
Liang Gong thought for a moment, raised his left hand, and in an instant, the watch glowed green, and a virtual image appeared.
And this image is only a little bit, and the location is the one where they came to the end of the tree hole, "not clear"
"So I'm going to explore this area first, and then make plans to see if there are any other weird plants, so that I can also add some more sample information", Liang Gong put away his watch, looked at Chen Xiaobei and said: "Then next, you may need to pay more attention."
"The plants here don't have a high appetite because of their overnutrition, but I'm afraid there really are any creatures."
"Just like Mr. Hao Dongran just said"
Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, "I know, I will pay more attention"
"Master, I think, why don't we turn on the light of the biological lamp a little more...", Hao Dongran grabbed Chen Xiaobei's right hand, and swept around from time to time with some trepidation.
This ghost place is so scary, except for the sound of the stream, it is the abnormal sound caused by the friction of plants.
I couldn't see where the creek was, and the plants seemed to be deliberately evading, and after walking for more than ten minutes, there was no way to find even a relatively large plant.
In addition, in the dim space, only these lights were in a trance, which made Hao Dong's heart almost jump out.
"The energy storage of the biological lamp is only seven hours, and the minimum power can ensure the light source", although Chen Xiaobei's cheeks were rosy, he also explained with the steadiness of being a master.
"Little brother, are you afraid of the dark? Otherwise, you can take me away", Hoshino turned his head and looked at Hao Dongran with a smile and asked.
"I don't!"
"I love my master", Hao Dongran shook his head violently, the devil knows what this girl is planning, she has been like a pervert from the beginning.
