"Well, keep a good vigil." Wen Jiao winked at Lu Zhou and said, she quickly got into the other sleeping bag, and turned around not to look at Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou: ......

You sleep and sleep, why do you turn your back to me?!

Could it be that his handsome face affects his sleep a lot?!

Tsk, what a tasteless woman!

Lu Zhou secretly complained in his heart, picked up a piece of ruby fruit, and ate it with relish.

The situation here is really the same as Wen Jiao was worried about before.

Lu Zhou judged from the clock display on his watch that six hours had passed since they came here.

However, the surroundings of the treehouse were still shrouded in darkness that could not be seen.

It seems that this is a world with only night, like the eternal polar night.

The dark environment not only makes everything in this forest seem even more weird, but also adds considerable obstacles to their plans to find clues and leave here.

Lu Zhou sighed in his heart, and decided to follow Jiang Lai's plan, take his time step by step, and live in the treehouse for a period of time until Professor Cheng and his wife can move freely.

woke up Jiang Lai and Wen Jiao on time, and Wen Ling and Lu Zhou began to rest.

Before the break, Wen Ling told Jiang Lai that Professor Cheng had woken up once during their break.

Wen Ling fed him some light salt water, and he soon fell asleep again.

Mrs. Yu's situation is obviously better than that of her husband.

She was even able to hydrate herself.

It's just that she is still very weak, and after replenishing water, she just said a few words to Wen Ling and fell asleep again.

Not long after the shift with Wen Ling and Lu Zhou, Mrs. Yu woke up quietly.

Jiang Lai gave her some warm light salt water, and took out a bucket of eight-treasure porridge from the inventory to heat up, ready to be used as a liquid food to replenish Mrs. Yu's strength.

Jiang Lai asked Wen Jiao to examine Mrs. Yu's wound and found that her wound was recovering, but she still had a slight fever.

After all, she is a middle-aged woman in her forties.

With the same injury, the situation is much better than that of the sixty-five-year-old Professor Cheng.

Professor Cheng is still lying with a pale face and a fever pastel on his head.

He frowned a little uneasily, and let out a slight snort, not knowing if it was because the wound was too painful, or if it was the mental tension caused by everything he had encountered before, and nightmares were frequent.

After drinking a steaming pot of eight-treasure porridge and feeling that her spirit had recovered a little, Mrs. Yu lay on her side on the hammock that Jiang Lai had specially prepared for her, and in a somewhat hoarse voice, she told Jiang Lai and Wen Jiao about the terrible encounter she and her husband had experienced before.

"At that time, Lao Cheng and I were still discussing the topics discussed by the experts and scholars present at the conference that day. Unexpectedly, the lights in the entire room suddenly went out...... Immediately afterward, I felt a gust of wind blowing from all directions. In the gloomy wind, there was a moist smell unique to the woods. ”

Mrs. Yu was feeling shocked and wanted to try to see if she could contact Jiang Lai and the four of them.

Professor Cheng, who was obsessed with paleontology, walked over to a plant next to him as if he had found a treasure, and shouted excitedly:

"Chunfang, look, this is actually a naked fern! You know, the naked fern is an extinct, oldest terrestrial plant. It appeared in the late Silurian period, 400 million years ago. ”

"I never imagined that I would see a naked fern alive in my lifetime!"

"Oh my God! This...... Could it be that I'm dreaming?! ”

Professor Cheng trotted towards the naked fern with great excitement as if he had seen a new toy, his eyes lit up and he couldn't stop talking excitedly.

Mrs. Yu changed to a more comfortable posture and continued: "Soon, we smelled a sweet fragrance that seemed to be sweet but not sweet. The source of that scent, very close to us. Then ......"

She said with some embarrassment: "We were confused by that fragrance and directly broke into the territory of the Shura Trapping Tree. ”

Later, they were caught by the vines of the Shura Trapper Tree and tied to the tree.

The intense pain caused by the corrosive liquid secreted by the trunk of the tree eating away at the body brought them to their senses.

It's a pity that they can't escape.

It wasn't until later, when Jiang Lai and the four of them arrived, that Professor Cheng and his wife were finally rescued.

As two paleontologists, they were tempted and attacked by the Shura Trapping Tree, which is not particularly dangerous in the paleontological world, and were tied to the tree by vines.

After intermittently recounting her experiences with her husband, Mrs. Yu closed her eyes tiredly.

Jiang Lai and Wen Jiao did not disturb the rest of the two patients.

They watched for movement around them while drinking tea.

In order to pass the time, Jiang Lai also took out two books from the inventory.

One of them was a text version, and she took it to Wen Jiao.

The other is a book in Braille.

The two girls soon began to read quietly.

Two hours later, Wen Ling and Lu Zhou woke up.

And at this moment, in this forest, there is still a dark scene of night, and there is no light in sight.

Lu Zhou yawned, stretched his waist, and said to the others: "I think that in order to let the two wounded recover as soon as possible, we can't just rely on the fruits, honey, and convenience foods in her inventory found by the regiment commander. ”

"We need meat to help the wounded get protein. Of course, protein is also a necessity for those of us who are on the front lines. ”

"So, I think we might as well divide into two groups, one group will stay here to take care of Professor Cheng and his wife, and the other group will go out to explore the surrounding situation, and by the way, we will do some prey and fight tooth sacrifices."

Hearing this, Wen Jiao couldn't help but laugh.

"I think the identity you have assigned yourself is that of a member of the expedition."

Lu Zhou nodded generously and admitted: "I'm an idle person. ”

Rather than letting him stay in the camp and guard the two sick numbers, it is better to send him out so that he can maximize his strengths.

"There is some truth in what Lu Zhou said. However, the main purpose of our outings is not to hunt, but to explore the surroundings and find out why this area is formed. Only by finding out the reason for the formation of this place can we leave here and return to the real world. Jiang Lai said.
