Wu Xie and Fatty passed through the gap between the air roots that could allow people to pass through, and entered the banyan tree.
Here is a natural arched hollow tube formed by the entanglement of tree trunks and vines. The space inside is very large, extending far behind in the darkness.
Those sunken holes were filled with green and black bones, as if they were poisoned. There were human bones and various animal bones. The types were so mixed that it was hard to tell whether they were human or ghost. They were all used by people.
Hemp ropes woven from plant fibers are connected in series, hanging row by row like musical instruments that chime.
Wu Xie looked carefully and found that most of these bones were tube-shaped, with many small holes like insects on them, and the middle was hollowed out.
"These should be very primitive musical instruments made of bones." Wu Xie speculated.
The fat man smacked his lips and said, "This Gu King is quite good at enjoying life. If he dies, the whole band will be buried with him."
"Oh, by the way, the instruments are all here. Why don't we see the members of the symphony orchestra? Could it be that the two guys had a quarrel and separated."
The fat man said as he reached out and fiddled with one of the long bones of an animal that was shaped like a flute.
Amidst the chaotic buzz of flying mosquitoes, a "coo" sound suddenly appeared.
The fat man's hands froze in place, and the hairs all over his body soaked with sweat suddenly exploded, "Damn, what's the sound!"
Wu Xie held his breath and tried to distinguish it carefully, but the sound just now was very short, and the source of the sound could no longer be found.
"Could it be..." The fat man looked at the long bone that he had just moved.
"Try it." Wu Xie also stretched out his hand, slowly approached the bone, and gently touched it.
The next moment, the weird "gurgling" sound sounded again.
Wu Xie felt very strange. He bent down and tilted his head to look up from the bottom of the long bone. He found that the inside of the bone was indeed hollow, but there were many white hairs that were even thinner than human hair interspersed in it, densely packed like a
Like a spider web.
Wu Xie pinched the whole long bone and looked at it, and found that the source of the white threads inside came from the side of the long bone that was close to the tree trunk.
The white light from the headlight passed by, and there were many silver-like filaments shining there, and the entire tree trunk was faintly glowing.
There is a lot of water vapor on this thing, and the condensed water droplets on it refract the light back. There are also many white hairs similar to mycelium extending from the gaps in the trunk, connecting all the nearby bone organs.
The fat man looked suddenly enlightened, "Oh, I know, it turns out that these hyphae are the soul that makes the sound in the bone tube."
Perhaps it is because when the long bones are shaking, air flows in from the bottom, the inner wall of the bone tube vibrates, and the white wire inside acts as a sound spring, which makes a "coo" sound similar to the call of a bird.
.
Wu Xie gently put down the long bone in his hand. Just a slight swing could make such a sound. If all the bone instruments collide and resonate with each other, it is unimaginable what the consequences will be. He will not
Dare to try easily.
There were also many dark red rune strips hanging from the top of the arched tree tube, which gradually turned black and brown under the oxidation of the air. Wu Xie suspected that the color on them was caused by blood. It was really weird and tight.
The two continued to walk forward and reached the middle part of the tree hole pipe. There were also many bone vessels hanging here, but the animal bones they selected turned into large irregular bones, with many patterns of the sun, stars, birds and animals carved on them.
It seems to be a decoration.
The only suspicious thing is that these patterns all have a clear direction, and they all point towards deeper parts of the cave.
After walking forward for another ten meters, there were two forks in the tree tunnel passage.
There were no hints at the two forks. The fat man poked Wu Xie in the elbow, "Which one to choose? Men on the left and women on the right."
"Okay." Wu Xie nodded, and then walked straight to the right.
"Hey!" The fat man hurriedly caught up, "Didn't you say go to the left? When did you never know the difference between left and right?"
"Just go to the right. Have you forgotten that the gestures of the guide figurines in the Snake Cave Tower were all pointing to the right?" Wu Xie said.
The fat man thought about it and said, "That's right." He immediately stopped worrying.
Further back, the pipe formed by the tree roots began to slope upward. After turning a Z-shaped bend, the road ahead turned into steps that were once woven with living tree vines. After years of growth, most of the steps
It has been deformed.
Wu Xie and the two climbed up quickly, and it felt like they were walking up a spiral staircase inside a tubular building.
After climbing for an unknown amount of time, the stairs finally reached the end. Looking out from the gap between the aerial roots and the vines, it was at least thirty meters above the ground.
In the space above their heads is a small temple also made of dark wood. A thick green and black vine twists and twists up, covering the bottom wooden layer of the small temple, supporting the temple like a huge umbrella.
When you get up, there is a vine covered with black spikes that leads directly to the bottom of the temple.
The sky temple was surrounded by green vines, and there were many palm-sized purple-pink three-petaled flowers on some of the forked branches. The petals were shaped like rabbit ears, and a bit like standing upright.
cobra.
The sunlight that can penetrate here is very weak, but these flowers still bloom very beautifully, and the air exudes an attractive fragrance.
The fat man's belly sang in a very timely manner, "This smell brought back the long-lost ventriloquism of the fat man."
Wu Xie covered his nose and looked at the flowers carefully. No mosquitoes were found dead on the petals. It seemed that the fragrance was harmless.
Hearing the sound, he turned back and glanced sideways at the fat man, "What did your ventriloquism say?"
"My ventriloquism tells me that now is the time to eat... Damn it! Innocent, get out of the way!" The fat man didn't know what he saw, and his expression suddenly changed.
Wu Xie subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him, only to see a huge and long black shadow shrouding him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At some point, a very huge purple-pink three-petal flower appeared from above the temple behind him, with long and wide petals like a giant umbrella.
Open it to the maximum.
Like peeled sticky corn, the petals were turned over and pressed against the stem. The flower core exposed inside turned out to be three blood-red serrated teeth, and the big mouth was instantly bitten towards Wu Xie.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Wu Xie drew his knife and tried to resist. The next moment, he was knocked down by the fat man, and the two of them rolled to the side.
The fat man somersaulted up, took off the engineer shovel tied to the back of his backpack, and slashed at the giant flower that was coming towards him.
There was a crackling sound, as if the shovel head hit some kind of iron object, and black thorns flew everywhere.
The fat man took a closer look and was shocked. Good guy, the shovel head in his hand was notched, but the saw teeth of the flower were unscathed, not even a bit of turf was scraped off.
"You can't beat me, you can't beat me!" Fatty yelled loudly, "You're so naive, so damn quick to retreat!"
"It can't be evacuated - I have one here too!" Wu Xie's teeth were almost broken. He raised the knife and lowered it for a long time before cutting off a few black thorns on the opposite side.
The fat man took a look and saw that there was actually a flower with a big mouth on his pockmarked face, "This damn thing came out of nowhere."
Two huge flower teeth attacked one after another, and the two of them had no power to fight back. They could only resist with all their strength in order not to be bitten into pieces by the huge teeth.
"This thing is so tough that the knives in our hands can't even cut it!"
Wu Xie's physical strength had been partially consumed before, and he was already tired from the long stalemate. He was almost bitten on the arm by accident. The giant flower's big head turned and swung hard at his side, sending him flying and hitting the trunk of a tree.
superior.
The fat man rolled on the spot to avoid the giant flower on his side. When he saw another flower chasing him and biting him, he cursed his mother angrily, "You are so naive, stand up and take that one away. Fatty, I
I can’t bear it anymore!”
Wu Xie spat out the blood in his mouth, gritted his teeth and stood up, pulled out the pistol from his waist, took advantage of the gap between the giant flower's open mouth, aimed at the space inside the sawtooth, and fired four shots in a row.
This attack was effective, but not particularly obvious. The giant flower only stagnated for a few seconds, and then immediately pounced on it more ferociously.
In the few seconds between them, Wu Xie stared at them closely, and suddenly he had a way to deal with it. He yelled, "Fat man, hold one of them down first, I have a way!"
Without thinking, the fat man immediately pounced on him and used his stalking skills to entangle one of them. The other one came towards Wu Xie with a clear goal.
Wu Xie grabbed the vine hanging from the tree trunk with one hand, jumped up high with a side kick, and the calyx of the giant flower stuck directly into the place where he was standing.
Wu Xie immediately let go and jumped down from the air, grabbing a petal on the top of the giant flower, and blood immediately oozed from the palm of his hand.
It turned out that the petals, which looked bright and refined in color, actually had burrs on them. The moment Wu Xie held it, the burrs pierced into his flesh. The barbs on it were directly stuck into the flesh like claw hooks, and the palm of his hand was a bloody mess.
.
The smell of dripping blood stimulated the giant flower, and Wu Xie, who was hiding behind the petals, was hanging in the air with his injured hand.
The giant flower kept swinging its head in search of prey, and Wu Xie swayed back and forth like a puppet as it rotated, almost sliding to the edge of the petals, which made the fat man tremble with fear.
In this moment of confusion, another giant flower seized the opportunity and squished towards the fat man's head.
The fat man felt the wind blowing, and reflexively avoided it, but was still bitten on the shoulder. He was directly bitten by the giant flower and thrown up into the air. He hit the temple on the top and fell down again.
The fat man was knocked to pieces and his head was dizzy. He waved his hands randomly to grab the messy vines. Unfortunately, the fragile vines could not bear his weight and were in danger. The giant flower's bloody mouth was open below.
Seeing that the fat man was about to fall, at this critical moment, Wu Xie on the other side aimed at the calyx. The first shot missed the flower head, and the second shot took advantage of the moment when the flower head was thrown back due to inertia, and the bullet directly hit the saw tooth.
Unexpectedly, the inside of the flower stem was much weaker than the plant fiber on the outer skin. This shot was shot at an angle, directly punching a gap in the flower stem from the inside, and red mucus spurted out instantly.
The giant flower hunts by smell and instinct. In just a moment, Wu Xie's hand bleeds more. His blood is more attractive than the fat man's.
The giant flower Wu Xie was holding was about to enter a state of madness and was swinging wildly. It had discovered Wu Xie clinging to it, but its flower head could not turn, so it could only use brute force to throw the prey to it.
within the attack range.
Another injured flower was also attracted by Wu Xie's blood. It no longer paid attention to the fat man who was still hanging on the top. It opened its mouth wide and swerved towards Wu Xie.
It's now!
Wu Xie immediately let go of his hand and let himself fall. The giant flower that rushed towards him had no time to stop due to its inertia and bit another giant flower.
There was only a crunching sound, and half of the stem of another giant flower was bitten through. The flower head drooped down, and it struggled to fight back with its survival instinct.
Plants do not feel pain, but they have dynamic responses to stress. The two giant flowers were entangled together, and the temple on the top was smashed to pieces when they fought, with broken wood and tiles falling to the ground.
Wu Xie pulled his long sleeves to wrap up his bleeding palms, and waved to the fat man who was still hanging on the ceiling after waking up from dizziness.
The fat man immediately cut off the vines that tied his ankles, fell down and hit the giant flower. A cry of pain was stuck in his throat. When he rolled down, he tried to keep his back up, because there were many black marks on his back and buttocks.
Thorn, like a fat hedgehog.
Wu Xie hurriedly ran over to help him up, not caring much. The two of them immediately supported the cat's waist and carefully slipped under the fighting giant flowers, and ran as fast as they could along the stairs.
When the two figures disappeared around the corner, a light and slender black shadow fell from the sky. He raised the knife and lowered his figure. In just a few moves, he chopped off the two giant snakes and scorpions in the circle.
.
The heavy flower head hit the ground, making a loud noise like a house collapsing.
The stem of the viper flower was confused for a while, then staggered out of the gap at the top.
The woman in black has a pretty face, charming but not seductive, with red lips and red lips. She looks like she is only 28 years old.
She put away the knife, squatted down, stretched out her hand and dipped a little of Wu Xie's blood on her fingertips, and said softly, "It's a little stronger than I thought. That guy's eyesight is not bad at all."
There was another slightly smaller viper flower poking its head in the gap above. The woman in black ignored it and turned around to leave in the direction in which Wu Xie and the two escaped.
On the other side, Wu Xie and Fatty ran out of breath and ran to the left side of the fork in a panic.
After running far away, I saw that there was no movement behind me, so I dared to stop and take a breath.
The fat man still had a lot of black thorns on his buttocks. He stuck out his waist and asked Wu Xie to clean it for him. He complained, "Innocent, if you want me to tell you that you really changed your name to Wu Xie, forget it. If I had known you would carry it like this, I would have just listened to the fat man."
I chose the left. If there is any disagreement next time, I will never listen to you again even if I am beaten to death."
Wu Xie grabbed his thorn and scolded him, "Get out of here, if we don't encounter something outrageous whenever we go to the grave, then that's really abnormal."
