A corpse. It is too early to say that it is a corpse. It is probably half-dead, trapped in a flower. Those stamens are like chains, tying the half-dead body into the flower petals, hanging upside down on the clock.
Among the shaped flowers, the stamens are about finger-thick and the stems are covered with tiny hairs, like a centipede with red claws, climbing on the body, sucking greedily, the stems are bright and dark, like extremely
He lost his breath, and every time there was light or darkness, the owner of the body couldn't help but twitch. His face was full of painful expressions of wanting to die, but his eyes were closed and he couldn't see. It was extremely difficult to make a sound, and it was probably extremely painful.
Only a little sound could be squeezed out.
The skin of this body is extremely white, almost the same as the petals of the flower. Except that it is white, it is more transparent. It is as if there is no flesh and blood under the skin, but a bag of water. The faint internal organs can be seen in the depths, etc.
Slowly taste and suck the orchid.
A chill surged into everyone's hearts. Although these people were enemies before and fought to the death, they were still human beings. Looking at their fate, the soldiers felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, as if they had seen their own ending.
If it were elsewhere, Li Luo would have ordered all the orchids to be cut off and the corpses destroyed. But he did not dare to act rashly here. With the orchids in full bloom, no one could tell what would happen if the orchids were cut off.
There was complete silence in the place, and one could almost hear the hissing sound made by the stamens as they sucked. It was so pleasant, so satisfying, that it made one's hair stand on end.
Everyone carefully looked at the bodies wrapped around the stamens in the flowers. They all had almost the same expressions. They were in pain and intoxication. They seemed to have had a dream that they couldn't wake up from. They were struggling in the dream, but they couldn't escape this net. Look.
Looking at the identical pictures, everyone invariably thought of the prey entangled in the spider web. In the same way, they struggled to escape from the sticky web and the sharp and vicious mouthparts and claws, but the more they struggled, the more trapped they became.
Deeply, until the prey is tightly wrapped in the spider web, burying the spider's mouth. If Li Luo had the leisure to watch the spider devouring its prey carefully, he would probably feel that the way these orchids eat people is almost exactly the same as the way poisonous spiders devoure their prey. Those flower stamens
The tiny hairs on it are like spider fangs, injecting venom into the prey, then turning the entire prey into soup, and then sucking it slowly, leaving only a piece of dried skin.
The spider does this not because it is cruel, but because it has no teeth and is forced to do so, but these giant orchids may do this just because it tastes better. The spider injects venom into its prey, and the prey is already dead, but these people are still alive.
At least he's not dead. Is this a ritual, or are these giant orchids just to make the food taste fresher?
"General, come and see!" Ni Qing called out, repressed and low. Everyone gathered around, Ni Qing carefully held up the orchid flower with a knife, and there was a person, an acquaintance, wrapped in the stamens.
The wrinkles on the old woman's face have smoothed out a lot, as if she were a rejuvenated child, returning to the age when her charm was still there, but there was no blood on her face, and she looked more like a ghost than a human.
"You deserve it, you deserve it!" I don't know who spat and cursed. No one agreed. It wasn't pity. It was just seeing a person who was alive just now turn into the food of an orchid in the blink of an eye. It was inevitable that everyone would feel sad.
desolate.
Gu Dou may be because she has lived a long time, or maybe she has secrets that are not known to everyone. In full view of everyone, the old woman slowly opened her eyes. Everyone took a breath, and Ni Qing almost put his hand in his hand.
The knives were thrown on the ground. Although the old woman opened her eyes, she couldn't focus for a moment. Her eyes were covered with a layer of frost and exuded gray air. They lost the transparency they should have. Most of them could not see even if they opened their eyes.
Not clear about the situation in front of me.
A dull moan came from the old woman's mouth, and a few drops of saliva flowed down the corner of her mouth. It was yellow, more like pus, and accompanied by a stench, like leftovers after half a year.
The smell of vegetables mixed with the swill made everyone take three steps back involuntarily.
After a while, the old woman's eyes regained some of their sparkle, her pupils tightened slightly and were no longer so dizzy. She tried to distinguish her situation. As soon as her neck moved, she saw the down on the stamens tightened suddenly, and the old woman opened her eyes silently.
When he opened his mouth, it was a kind of painful howl that had no sound, but could ring in the soul. All the soldiers' expressions changed, and their faces were filled with fear. The brave general, who was not even afraid of death, felt clearly for the first time that he was here.
Death is not the most terrifying thing in the world.
Someone once said that there is nothing important in life except death. In fact, this is not necessarily true. There are things in this world that are more terrifying than death, such as cowardice, useless kindness, selfish morality, and words that cannot be engraved on stone.
"General..." Qian Yi called in a low voice, with the intention of retreating in his eyes. Mu Tianlang has never been a good person, and every officer in the army has blood on his hands, and he can't bear to save his mortal enemy.
They don't have the courtesy, justice, shame or noble morals, and no one has any intention to save these enemies that Lanhua calls. If they can't bear it, the most they can do is give them a ride, go on a good journey, and be reborn in a good family. Gu Liang couldn't bear the tears in his heart, but he couldn't bear it.
She didn't open her mouth, knowing that if she asked for mercy, Li Luo and the Chinese cavalry officers would definitely do it, but they would definitely not be willing to do so.
"Why don't you give them a good time?" All the generals could see that Gu Liang couldn't bear the tears in his eyes. Although they hated these people, Mu Tianlang's army had never had the habit of torturing people. If they were enemy soldiers, they would kill them.
He takes pleasure in torturing his opponents, and out of pride, he disdains such despicable means.
It was kind to give them a happy life. It would have been very difficult to turn around and leave based on the previous grudges. However, Li Luo felt an unspeakable depression in his heart. He didn't know why, but it was pressing in his heart, making him very uncomfortable.
Pity them? Oh, they are more hateful than pitiful. After thinking about it, Li Luo finally understood the origin of this depression. It was not the grudges and hatreds of the world, but the rise and fall of two races.
It's a human being, a cannibal. Compared to the evil of the old woman, these giant orchids are the more dangerous enemies of living people.
The old woman deserves to die, he has no mercy, but these orchids cannot be kept. Just when Li Luo made up his mind to cut off these orchids, the old woman suddenly spoke. She seemed to recognize the people in front of her, and spoke incoherently.
After listening carefully for a while, they finally got the general idea. They all glanced at Li Luo and quickly looked away.
