Disaster: Cangzhou Chapter 72: Frightened by the Jungle
"Yes. Since this thing is hidden underground, it must be quite big."
Han Ning thought about the parasite he encountered in Luogu Mountain and said firmly.
"Is there a magic circle down there to prevent spells, or is it possible?" Liu Shantian then asked.
"No, although those parasites have some intelligence, they are only basic and do not have the intelligence to use magic circles at all."
"Okay..." Liu Shantian put one of the talismans on Han Ning and took the other talisman in his hand.
Then the immortal order on his waist flashed, and the shape of the ice platform under their feet changed, and the square platform gradually began to shrink into a circle.
After it turned into a round shape, Liu Shantian used his magical power to continuously carve various charms on it.
In the distance, black sand snakes continued to cover the ground, and a big red bird flew in the sky. As soon as the sand snake saw the big red bird, it burrowed into the ground in that direction.
"Did you go hunting?" Han Ning looked in that direction and muttered softly.
"Don't worry about what the Sand Snake is doing, teleport soon, get ready!" Liu Shantian said.
He claps his hands and a blue light suddenly appears.
Circles of blue light wrapped around the two people, and their figures gradually became transparent and disappeared.
When the point where the transparency disappeared reached his mind, Han Ning lost his vision. When he regained his vision again, he had come to a dark cave.
The dark cave was filled with various fermented smells, which was very unpleasant.
Han Ning turned on Immortal Vision. As soon as he turned it on, he was startled by the sight in front of him.
Various corpses, skeletons, and half-eaten animals were all pierced by green branches and hung in the cave.
Han Ning could not see any light at all in the entire cave, and he had no idea where the underground air came from.
But these animal carcasses were rotting and smelly inside the cave, which made Han Ning very uncomfortable.
Liu Shantian came from behind Han Ning and handed Han Ning an iron mask.
"If you put it on, you won't smell it anymore."
"Where to go next?" Liu Shantian continued to ask.
Han Ning looked at the black crystal in his hand. The black crystal had stopped floating.
At this moment, it was motionless in Han Ning's hands. Han Ning shook it a few times, but the black crystal remained motionless.
"It seems, let's go for a walk by ourselves, my thing is broken."
"…………"
…………
There are many towering trees in the jungle on the west slope, and there is one tree among them that looks and feels the same as the other trees around it.
But no one could have guessed that the trunk inside had been hollowed out, leaving only the shell of the tree.
Yun Wusheng and Liu Mushui were hiding inside, squeezing each other.
"Don't talk, let me listen!" Liu Mushui said, putting his ear close to the wall.
Listening to the movement outside, you can still hear the sound of footsteps.
"We haven't left yet, we have to wait a little longer."
Yun Wusheng looked at the black crystal in his hand, praying in his heart that the other party would not lose its effect so quickly.
I could only see the black crystal floating slightly in Yun Wusheng's hand, but as if sensing something, the black crystal turned a few times.
Finally, it pointed diagonally downward.
"Huh?" Yun Wusheng looked at this situation and couldn't help being stunned. Did he go to the right place by mistake?
Liu Mushui also concentrated on leaning his ear against the wall, listening carefully to the movements of the music guards outside.
"It's strange, why are the footsteps getting louder and louder?"
In the jungle outside, each guard was holding a spear, constantly looking for the two people hiding in the jungle.
There was a sound of scratching in the air behind him, and one of the music guards looked back, but there was nothing.
"?" The music guards were very alert, and they waved their hands, and several soldiers around them came closer.
Following the music guard as they walked forward cautiously, they focused all their attention on the direction of the sound of scratching in the air.
No one noticed that the ground beneath their feet was shaking.
The next moment, a green tentacle broke out of the ground. This green branch was mixed with muscle fibers and bone fragments from various animals.
After being combined with animal residue, this green branch can no longer be called a plant, and can be regarded as a tentacled animal.
The soldier who was walking in the front was directly pierced through the sole of his foot, and his whole body was dragged to the ground and dragged away.
His screams immediately attracted the music guards from the entire jungle, and they all rushed towards him with spears in hand.
Liu Mushui frowned. He had just heard the screams and was a little confused. What on earth were the music guards outside doing?
Outside, the soldiers kept attacking the green tentacles with their spears, but the tentacles were so hard that ordinary spears could only leave scratches on them.
The green tentacles flicked, knocking down three music guards, and then two more tentacles emerged from the ground.
The two unlucky music guards were pierced directly through the chests by the tentacles and dragged away forcefully.
The tentacles are not thick, and even if they are pierced by them, they will not die for a while.
Therefore, to this day, the music guard who was dragged away at the beginning is still screaming miserably.
These screams constantly impacted the morale of the soldiers.
They really want to find the enemy, whether it is the criminal they are chasing or the monster they encounter in the jungle.
No matter who it was, they couldn't find it, and the screams of their colleagues constantly coming from all around hurt their morale.
The music guards moved closer to each other, trying to dispel fear by holding together.
But as two green tentacles reappeared from the soil, fear filled their hearts again.
They just wanted to flee, but tentacles surged around them, blocking all roads.
With no way to escape, the soldiers simply gave it a try.
Everyone's eyes were wide open, blood rushed to their heads, everyone's face was very red, and they were roaring and waving their spears.
But the tentacles quickly pierced them all. After confirming that there were no other enemies, the tentacles pierced their brains.
Their bodies were dragged down a cave.
Liu Mushui, who was lying on the wall listening to the noise, frowned even more because he couldn't hear anything now.
"They seemed to be fighting, and I don't know what they were fighting with."
"There's no movement now."
"Shall we go out?"
Liu Mushui said quickly.
Yun Wusheng somewhat guessed what it was outside and said.
"We'll wait and see if there are any more pursuers."
Liu Mushui nodded, and the two of them continued to sit in the tree trunk.
Soon, new troops came here following the traces, and one of them was extremely keen, as soon as he got close.
I smelled the smell of blood emanating from the jungle.
"No, it smells like blood. It's too strong. People are dead. Spread out and look for where the bodies are!"
The leader spoke, and the newly arrived music guards dispersed, looking for the source of the bloody smell.
"It's strange, why are there no bodies around here?"
"Wait, there's something going on here, come here, come here." One of them saw the blood stains on the ground.
He quickly called the others, and everyone looked at the hideous bloodstains on the ground, but there were no knife marks around them.
"Is there anyone with a fairy order?" one of them said.
"Me!" A tall man with long black hair came out.
"I have the Rock Dao Immortal Order. I just awakened it at the beginning of the year, but I haven't gotten used to it yet."
"It's okay, can you use Immortal Vision now?"
Kunwu nodded, the fairy order around his waist emitted a slight dust, and the next moment, he turned on the fairy vision.
"How's it going? Did you see anything?" the leader asked.
"You can see some dark green traces, which don't look like traces of immortal power. If there are green traces, then there is only the Tao of Life."
"But the traces of the immortal power of Shengdao are emerald green. Could it be demonic power?"
The leader touched his chin and thought for a while.
"If it's a monster, it's not impossible..."
A soldier guarding the music heard a bulging and sporadic sound behind him, felt a little strange, and looked towards the source of the sound.
He came to a tree and looked at the bulging bark. He felt a little strange.
When the bulge on the tree moved, he felt even more strange. If there were insects on the tree, he didn't believe it.
But who kind of insect can burrow under the bark of a tree, bulge up such a big bag, and move around?
"There seems to be something here!" the man shouted.
Then he picked up the spear in his hand and bandaged the drum. As soon as it was inserted, a few smears of black mucus came down.
"Eh? What is this?" The man still wanted to reach out and touch it.
The next moment, a tentacle broke out from the tree trunk and pierced the man's brain.
"Everyone on alert!" the leader shouted loudly.
Kunwu was also frightened. The spear in his hand was mixed with rock crystals and he threw it towards the tree.
With the blessing of immortal power, the spear became much sharper and pierced the thick tree trunk directly.
The exposed tentacle struggled for a while, then broke the spear, and the ground shook.
"What is this?!"
Under the shocked gaze of the guards, the tree pierced by the spear slowly stood up.
Several wide tentacles acted as his legs, emerged from the ground, and also pulled the tree trunk up from the ground.
The big tree seemed to have become a spider, moving on six tentacles underneath it.
"Ah..." The man whose brain was pierced was still dragged behind the big tree. He was still alive and still alive like this, and he let out bursts of whimpering sounds.
"Tsk!" The person taking the lead felt something bad when he saw it.
"You three, run back quickly and ask for help. There is a big demon..."
The man quickly realized the opponent's strength and was not sure that he could defeat him, so he separated three people and asked them to retreat into the city to call for reinforcements.
Kunwu's tongue feels a little uncomfortable. This is a long-standing problem of his. Whenever he is nervous, his tongue will feel as if it has been pierced by an iron needle.
He was completely frozen and speechless.
"..." Kunwu produced two rock spears in his hands and threw them towards the moving tree trunks.
But before the spear could fly past, it was shattered by the tentacles waving from the tree trunk.
"Ah..." The man dragged behind the tree trunk made a sound of struggling.
