Chapter 3 Corals
As far as I could see, piles of ..... stretched out on the surface of the lake, which was originally as black as an oil layer Like coral, like a solid thorn, they slowly "grow", fluffy and expanding, burrowing out of the water, and they are already more than a meter high!
Jiang Ming gasped, thinking that at this speed, I am afraid that it will not be long before these terrifying.... The black "coral" will drill up, touch the top layer, and ...... Crawl out of the ditch! What is this ugly, intricate branch?
The first thing that came to his mind was the ..... Tai Sui corpse fungus, the mysterious woman's body is moldy, extending countless white hairs, fluffy to fill the general's grave until it fills, and then ...... Sketching the woman's face before her death, a large number of people in black were thrown into the fungus pit for burial...... That terrible mycelium has become Jiang Ming's nightmare, and he has been a shadow all his life! Is it similar to that black Tai Sui?
But..... It is not the same, although the mycelium of the black Tai Sui is weird, it is also a thin thread, infinitely split and meristem, and finally fluffy into flocculent...... And as far as you can see, the intricate branches have a certain thickness, more like deformed thorns!
It is said that it is thorns or corals, but it grows more irregularly than these two existences, thin or thick, the thick part is like a human waist, and the thin part is similar to the little finger of a human being, Jiang Ming's thinking is still human, so ...... It's more intuitive to measure by people's physical characteristics!
The most incredible thing for him is that the growth of any strange creature is basically radial, whether it is thorns or corals, they are all trying to expand their "tentacles" as much as possible, but this ghost thing, there is even a talk of entanglement......
It can be clearly seen that some branches are slowly bent, like the roots of old trees and other veins gathered together irregularly, much like thrombotic nodules, but it does not affect the overall growth and spread..... Jiang Ming was stunned for a while, and couldn't figure out what kind of routine this was, so his body shrank back slightly.
All this ..... It must have been triggered by the Golden Mask again, it fell, breaking the original peace, this black lake, which was only a backwater pool before, was activated by the Golden Mask and a pile of skeletons and rubble that had been smashed down......
Seeing Jiang Ming's tail shaking again, and trembling slightly, Heihuaqiang realized that danger was coming, and he also nervously lay on the edge of the ditch and looked down, that pair of cat's eyes..... I was stunned!
"Dude..... What's that?" Black Flower asked in fear.
Jiang Ming tried hard to calm his mind and said, "I don't know either, but I feel ..... It's definitely not a good thing, the fifth who fell before, and a few other guys, estimated..... It's to die on these things. ”
He and Brother Qiang spoke vaguely, which increased the fear of the other cats, and they trembled violently, hugging and clustering together, forming a large ball of fluffy flesh.
Hei Huaqiang swallowed nervously and spit, and by the light of the Hades fire, he found ..... These roots-like branches of the banyan tree are growing faster and faster, almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and I am afraid that it will not take long to climb to the top!
Brother Qiang was more ruthless, he pulled over the corpse of the three balls that had been stoned to death, and pushed it down directly, which scared Jiang Ming a lot!
"Brother Qiang, what are you doing?" Jiang Ming asked with palpitations.
Hei Huaqiang replied nervously: "Brother, I want to see ..... How do they eat cats?"
Jiang Ming's heart suddenly suddenly, and his gaze followed!
At this time, the top of this strange and mysterious group of branches was almost two meters above the liquid level! The intricate network of veins "catched" Sanqiu's corpse and directly stuck it to it!
Yes! glued to it! It seems to be ..... The asphalt-like veins are really a bunch of gelatinous condensation, extremely viscous, and the three balls are fluffy and hanging at the top, which is more conducive to Heihuaqiang and Jiang Ming's observation!
Then, a creepy scene appeared, but the branches that stuck to the three balls began to bulge like candy blowers, stretching out translucent, and then ..... Wrapped the entire body of the three balls in it and incorporated it into the inside of the branch!
The two bosses were stunned! What kind of devouring is it? Feeling..... It was like a bubble blowing in the middle of the branch, and the prey was stuffed into it, and it swelled like a snake that had just eaten a rabbit......
There are many ways for creatures in the world to devour their prey, whether it is the snake's swallowing dates, or the filtering and absorption of sea anemones, or even the mycelium wrapping of Hei Tai Sui, they are all within the scope of understanding, and this routine in front of me is the first time I have seen it!
The three-ball corpse that was wrapped in a layer of "mucous membrane" gradually began to deflat, and slowly "melted" into it, as if there was a strong corrosive acid inside the branch, which was quickly absorbed and digested, and then ..... A shallow "bulge" that moves slowly along the branches, getting smaller and smaller, and swimming downward......
Jiang Ming understood, instead of understanding these terrible branches as tentacles, it was better to understand them as stomachs, open stomachs, and they fell down and were taken away directly by corpses, thinking that before they came, they also went through the same process!
Hei Huaqiang was stunned, his body stepped back, and he reminded Jiang Ming in horror: "Brother..... Come on, this ..... It's the demon that eats cats, we ...... We, hiding in the crevices, can live a little longer. ”
Jiang Ming's body was tense and did not move, he was still carefully observing, watching how the group of terrifying devils under him could further develop.
When people are powerless to return to heaven, they will also break the jar and break it...... Less scared, the end of despair, more curiosity, even if you die, you have to be a ghost! Jiang Ming wants to verify a little...... It's these slimy "ghost corals", are they afraid of their own Hades fire......s! Those "messy mycelium" that came out of the skeleton are not the same kind of creatures!
Ghost corals grow unlimitedly, they are activated by the golden mask, like algae jellyfish skin, protruding countless branches and bulging, like a forked bud, the end of the bud, split again, thinner and thinner, and more fluffy. Jiang Ming did not retreat, but ..... A step forward that is even more courageous.
If this life is like this, how can a husband be grieved? Be a man...... He is a loser, a cat, and he is not willing to go on like this forever, and his future is bleak...... Even if you die, it's a kind of shuffle, you can start again, Jiang Ming has no fear in his heart, and he is not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of your ghost coral?
However, for a moment, staring at these messy ghost corals or ghost thorns, he suddenly thought of a configuration, that is, these fluffy and disordered, different thicknesses, twisted and tangled existences, how ..... It's like a complex cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system? It's just in the process of gradual formation!
This bold thought made him shudder, and the more he looked at it, he remembered his father's varicose veins, those green and swollen veins, and the messy and silky capillary system, as he saw in front of him..... Is it ...... Below this, is it the bloodline system of a huge demon?
After seeing Hei Tai Sui, Jiang Ming felt ..... The world of evil creatures is far more distorted and confusing than commonly imagined, there may be a large lump of filth like feces, and there is also an internal circulation system like a living thing, and the entire hall cave, and even the entire mountain, may be the body of this demon, and now it is resurrected! Triggered by the golden mask, an even greater catastrophe is slowly brewing......
He felt extremely afraid, this fear was not the fear of his own life and death, but the common people in the outside world, he thought of Professor You's words, the black Tai Sui who sneaked into the princess's grave would come out every other year to spread bad luck, affecting people's life, old age, sickness and death, and even the fortune of the country. Don't..... What I see in front of me now is the true body of the black Tai Sui deity? And the so-called "red hair" is just the mycelium of Tai Sui......
Jiang Ming's mind was extremely confused, and he felt that he had opened Pandora's box, and the rat-faced mask in the crystal coffin was like a imprisoned demon that was released by himself..... He's in trouble!
However, it doesn't seem right, if it's the mycelium of Hei Tai Sui, how can he be afraid of the fire of Hades? At the beginning, those mycelium were still chasing and killing him, could it be ..... Was it because he wasn't Hades at that time? He felt that his brain was about to explode, and he pursed his lips in despair and groaned, and he was extremely lost!
The space of 4-5 meters high is not too far away at all for these crazy ghost corals, and after a few minutes, the anterior synapses have already stretched over, less than half a meter away from Jiang Ming, they seem to sense that the prey is in front of them, and they take the initiative to gather quickly, eager to catch up with Jiang Ming..... However, it was in this moment that an exciting situation arose......
Those who have caught enough Jiang Ming, the black... The end of the viscous synapse, as if touching a flame, retracted violently.....! It seems that the injury is not light, and some of the branches are like burnt coal, quickly shriveled and shriveled, turning into ashes, showing a gray color, losing their flexible vitality, and scattering like fragrant ash!
Jiang Ming's heart was shocked! Oh my God, these guys..... If you are really afraid of the fire of Hades, you try to sacrifice your life...... Finally verified the effect! Actually.... The swirling flames burned straight up, and the flames were originally plasma, only upward, not downward, so as to ..... Only when you get close can you show your power!
His heart was pounding, and his desire to live burned again! The muscles of his whole body were full of strength! The flames also burst into flames at once! Jiang Ming could clearly see that the surface of the lake where the ghost coral had grown had dried up rapidly, and the liquid level had dropped, revealing a large pool of branches of the "ghost coral" that was mottled, twisted and messy, and full of nodules, like a large lump of air-dried stool.
Hades was surrounded by fire, and when it touched the evil things, it burned and emitted a foul smell of unpleasant and pungent hydrogen sulfide, like burning stool or burning rotten eggs, and the cats were even more frightened, and even some cats.... I began to drill into the cracks, between the cracks and rocks, and instinctively wanted to hide back!
Jiang Ming stepped back and retreated to the edge of the ditch step by step!
He looked at everyone with a resolute and calm face, and said, "Brothers, let's start fleeing en masse now! I'm walking in front, and you follow me step by step along the hole cut out by my claws, scratching tightly, crawling upside down to escape ......."
The cats shuddered with fright, their fur stood on end, and their eyes were full of unimaginable fear!
Jiang Ming sighed and continued, "Brothers, I know..... It may be dangerous, but in order to survive, we must make the impossible possible, as long as you scratch the hole I picked out, you can't fall down, look down at the top, don't look down, the dignity of living can only be given to the brave cat!"
The cats looked at each other, although they still doubted their abilities, but the second master said very clearly! Only brave cats are qualified to live, or ..... Just stay and die!
Hei Huaqiang also mobilized: "There is nothing wrong with what my brother said, let's prepare to go, even if we die, we will die outside, and we will not bury these rats!"
"Big brother, second master, we are not cowards! We are obedient and follow the footsteps of the second master!"
"Yes, we're going to die! We're not going to die with these rats!
King Nanyuan and King Kong Lao Liu shouted, while Fat Orange and Hua Dan lowered their heads silently, they were all fractured, and there was no way to escape.
"Big brother, each of us carries one, I carry the fat orange, you carry the flower egg, how about it?" Jiang Ming proposed.
"Okay! just.... Brother, the fat orange is so heavy, can you do it?" asked Heihuaqiang worriedly.
Jiang Ming smiled: "Don't talk about one fat orange, I'll have no problem with two, let's get ready to go on the road." ”
When Fat Orange and Hua Dan heard Jiang Ming say this, they cried out loud, moved their crippled bodies, approached Brother Qiang and Brother Ming, and licked their paws......
With the fat orange on his back, Jiang Ming obviously felt that his body had sunk a lot, he gritted his teeth, re-grabbed the broken shell rock layer, and began to explore step by step, the whirring flames burned, and once again forced back the ghost coral that wanted to come over!
Hei Huaqiang followed closely, and Jiang Ming's paw prints with flower eggs on his back also began to drill down. At this time...... In the depths of the lake where the bottom of the lake has dried up...... There was an ethereal singing of a woman.
