"Question mark? How could it be a question mark?" Du Xin'er, the girl, also looked carefully for a long time and asked without finding anything.

Gu Xiaole looked at the map and thought about it and said:

"I guess there are a lot of things here that Linghua's great-grandfather hasn't figured out yet! But no matter what, we still need to go in and take a look. While the sun hasn't risen yet, let's take some hard work and walk under our feet.

Work harder and try to get into that large ruin before the weather heats up!"

As he spoke, Gu Xiaole asked the three girls to get up from the ground, packed their bags and continued to head towards the town ahead.

It's easy to say that, but in fact the four of them have been busy for almost a whole night, and almost everyone's physical strength has reached their own limit.

Fortunately for Alida Linghua and Gu Xiaole, the eldest daughter Du Xin'er was indeed a little unable to walk. Fortunately, the kind-hearted Alida kept holding her by the side. Linghua also took off Du Xin'er's luggage and replaced it.

She was carrying it, but even so, the speed of the four of them was still greatly slowed down by her.

Gu Xiaole looked at the building complex in the distance and felt a little anxious.

Youdao said that Wangshan was a dead horse. They were now located in a desert area on the plains, and the visibility was quite good, so the building that looked very clear was definitely still far away from them.

Although the weather is neither cold nor hot now, everyone knows that once the sun rises, the temperature of the surrounding environment will increase sharply.

It's not uncommon for the surface temperature of this kind of ghost place to reach 6 or 70 degrees Celsius. By that time, let alone walking, I'm afraid they will be almost cooked just standing there.

But there is no point in being anxious. After all, the road needs to be walked step by step. A few people walked quickly for nearly half an hour. The building complex in the distance was still out of reach. It seemed that they had walked in vain for so long.

"It won't work, it won't work! I'm going to die if I keep going!" Du Xin'er finally couldn't hold on anymore and sat down on the ground, panting heavily and saying:

"Brother Xiaole, let's go on like this! Don't say I can't bear it, I'm afraid sister Alida and sister Linghua can't stand it either, right?"

Although the two girls did not make a sound, judging from their gasping expressions, they did somewhat support Du Xin'er's opinion.

With no other option, Gu Xiaole had no choice but to announce that everyone should rest where they were for a while and drink some water before continuing on the road.

Fortunately, they just replenished a lot of fresh water resources underground, so everyone doesn't need to worry about being thirsty for a while.

Elida held up the kettle and drank several sips of water, then wiped the corners of her mouth and said:

"Xiao Le A Zhu, we were too pressed for time when we came out just now. I never had time to ask you, how did you kill that giant blood-sucking plant just now?"

Upon hearing this question, Du Xin'er and Linghua also became energetic. After all, they had completely fallen into hallucinations as soon as they reached the bottom of the mine.

When he woke up, Gu Xiaole had already stabbed his thigh with the tip of a knife, so he knew nothing about the battle scene between Gu Xiaole and the blood-sucking plant.

Gu Xiaole had nothing to hide, he just took a sip of fresh water and said in a low-key voice:

"It's nothing! In fact, when I was at the bottom of the mine, I was also mentally controlled by the piranha plant. I just don't know why my body can always remind me that I am in a state of hallucination! Wait for those vines to control me.

When I pulled him over, I killed that guy by surprise!"

Hearing this, Du Xin'er blinked and asked in confusion:

"But why is that flower so strange? For ordinary animals, it just sucks the blood, but for humans, it has to wrap the whole person with flowers? And is the human-shaped stamen inside a plant or a human?"

Gu Xiaole smiled slightly at her questions:

"Well, my guess is that this weird plant can judge the intelligence of its prey. If it encounters small animals such as rabbits and mice in the desert outside, then it only needs to use the vines to suck blood!"

Elida nodded and continued: "If it encounters humans, it will find a way to absorb them all, right? This is why we keep encountering ghosts hitting the wall in the mine area? That's it

Want to lure us down to be absorbed and eaten by its main body?"

Gu Xiaole just nodded, and Du Xin'er over there immediately asked again:

"Then, what's going on with the stamen head that you were holding in your hand just now, which seems to be the flower head of a US military officer hanging outside?"

Gu Xiaole thought for a moment and then said:

"I suspect that the American military officer outside has been absorbed by the plant. It's just that the consciousness in his body made him grow a stamen similar to his own image in the piranha. As for him, he can still speak.

It probably has something to do with this!"

"Can you still retain consciousness after being absorbed?" Du Xin'er said incredulously.

"It's really hard for people to understand, but we've been here for a while, and we haven't encountered too many strange things, right?"

When Gu Xiaole said this, everyone was speechless. Indeed, since they arrived on this continent, whether they were the giants, dwarves, or fish-headed monsters in the sea, they looked like frogs lurking in the darkness in front of the rock walls and caves.

Humanoid monsters, everything from mammoths to mosasaurs in the water are almost completely divorced from reality.

So it’s nothing to encounter such a weird piranha this time...

A few people were chatting and drinking water and resting, but Gu Xiaole was not just resting. From time to time, he would look at the red sun rising in the sky with the sports watch on his wrist.

"Brother Xiaole, there's no need for you to be so nervous, right? We've only been sitting down for less than an hour." Du Xin'er said nonchalantly.

Gu Xiaole shook his head, stood up and replied:

"Aren't you nervous? We have to get up and hurry up. Unless you become a mummy in this vast desert? Of course, it is possible that you may be dismembered by the guys behind you before you become a mummy.

!”

Those guys in the back?

As soon as Gu Xiaole said these words, several girls stood up and looked back.

Sure enough, on a sand dune a few hundred meters away from them, several wild wolves with gray-white hair were looking at them from a distance...

"This? This is an Arabian wolf?"

After all, Du Xin'er was a scientific researcher, so she could tell the scientific names of these wolves at a glance.

Alida, who has always been more cautious, immediately asked: "Sister Xiaoxin, do you know this kind of wolf? How about it? Is this guy difficult to deal with?"

Du Xin'er shook her head and said:

"This is a typical desert wolf, usually no more than 1 meter long and weighing less than 20 kilograms. Their lethality to humans is very limited. It is rare to hear of this kind of Arabian wolf actively attacking in the wild.

The case of people.”

But Gu Xiaole shook his head and said:
Chapter completed!
