"You're not running fast, look here!" At this time, Xiao Wenjun left the crowd, walked straight to the corner of the roadside, and picked up a bone arrow left on the ground!
Everyone looked immediately and noticed the blood stains near the broken arrow!
"Eh? Why are there traces of being dragged on this blood stain? Could it be that the mutant cat was attacked by another mutant beast?" Li Huiyu lowered his head and looked at the traces on the ground. The obvious scratches meant that the mutant cat just now
He didn't leave voluntarily at all, but seemed to be dragged away by something.
"Follow us and take a look!" Jiang Yi looked at the strange marks on the ground, frowned slightly, and said decisively. Everyone was doing their best, and they all walked forward along the blood marks on the ground! They thought they would encounter the person who robbed them.
The mutated beasts that killed their prey.
Unexpectedly, just after taking a few steps, everyone was shocked to find that the traces on the ground disappeared!
No, it didn’t disappear, but it was broken off by the roots of the thick tree in front of them!
"How could this happen? Could it be that the thing that robbed the mutant cat could fly?" Aya looked up in confusion, but found no trace of the mutant bird in the dark sky!
But in front of them, except for the last few drops of blood on the ground, there was no trace of the mutated cat!
"Boss, this place is too weird. Let's leave as soon as possible. Sister Tang Bing's brother is still waiting for us to rescue him!" Looking at the surrounding environment like a haunted house, Aya shrank her neck as if she felt a little cold and exerted her strength.
He said while rubbing his arms.
After hearing her reminder, everyone also realized that something was not right here!
It's not that something is watching them in the dark, but that they suddenly changed their normal behavior, and it's strangely quiet here!
You know, before reaching the roots of the Seven Trees along the way, although the mutant beasts encountered on the road are getting rarer and rarer, you can still encounter their traces from time to time, and you can always hear them walking through the mutant weeds.
The sound of rustling and the chirping of animals and birds!
But here, except for the breathing of these people, they could not hear any other sounds! It was as if there were only eight of them in the whole world...
"There's something wrong!" Tang Bing glanced around vigilantly. Everyone came here to help her. She didn't want to see anyone get hurt here!
However, she was vigilant and used her divine domain to the limit, but found helplessly that within the scope of her divine domain, except for the energy fluctuations emitted by the mutated plants, she found no abnormalities at all...
Jiang Yi listened to everyone's discussion, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on the thick tree root in front of everyone!
The Seven Big Trees are huge and must have strong enough root systems to support their tall trunks, so the diameter of some root systems can even reach astonishing tens of meters!
The tree roots exposed on the ground in front of Jiang Yi and the others are not that thick, but the thick roots of at least five or six meters look quite amazing!
But what attracted Jiang Yi was not how strong the root was, but Jiang Yi discovered that the surface of the root was not as smooth or covered with a thick layer of bark as expected.
Instead, on the surface of the bark, a large round bump bulged up at regular intervals, making the entire tree roots look densely packed with bumps, as if it was sick...
Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Yi stepped forward and put his hand on a large raised bump. His fingers were sticky, and there were actually a few drops of blood that had not yet frozen...
The blood was very fresh. After Jiang Yi rubbed it between his fingers a few times, he flashed his hand and used the black knife to 'cut the skull' directly. Then, amidst the exclamations of everyone, he slashed the protruding tree with the knife without any hesitation.
…
"Kaka!" As the knife passed across, the skull-cutting knife, which had always been known for its sharpness, actually left only a shallow scratch on the tree trunk. The sound of the blade scraping against the bark was heard in everyone's ears, and they just felt
It’s like an ear-drilling magic sound!
Aya couldn't help but scream: "Boss, what are you doing?" As she said that, she looked at the criss-crossing tree roots with a horrified look on her face! Didn't the boss say that this big tree is alive?
How could he take the initiative to hurt it? What if it suddenly attacked them!
Everyone was also shocked. They immediately got close to each other and looked around cautiously, fearing that the big tree would suddenly rise. However, they did not find what they were worried about. The roots of the tree in front of them looked like an ordinary big tree, even if the bark was damaged.
The boss cut through, but there was no movement!
Everyone was sure that things did not happen as they expected, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief! After all, the Seven Trees are so huge, and once it goes berserk, none of them have the guts to say that they can escape safely from its riot!
But obviously it was too early for them to be relieved. As Jiang Yi cut through the bark of the tree, the big tree root in front of him suddenly trembled. The people who had just breathed a sigh of relief were immediately alert to the extreme, and everyone's weapons were drawn.
Come out...
"Crack!" Something seemed to be breaking out from under the big bag that had been scratched, and it was constantly struggling inside.
"Boss!" Li Siyu saw Jiang Yi was so close and couldn't help but worriedly remind him. Jiang Yi didn't insist and took two steps back obediently. At this moment, the cut bark suddenly broke open, and some transparent
The juice splashed out, and then a round object rolled out of the crack and hit the ground!
"It's a cat!" Zhang Yizhe reminded everyone sharply as soon as the thing fell down!
When everyone saw it, their expressions changed slightly. Isn't this the mutant cat they were tracking just now and was shot by Tang Bing?
It's just that this mutated cat looks extremely miserable at this time. There are several transparent thin tubes tied around its body. The other end of the thin tubes protrudes from the exposed tree roots, and these thin tubes are inserted into this mutated cat.
After seeing the cat's body, everyone could clearly see that there seemed to be something in the pipe rushing toward the roots of the tree little by little!
But the mutated cat that had just escaped from their eyes didn't even have the strength to break free from these thin tubes, and could only keep whimpering and struggling to death.
"Zheng!" Black light flashed, and these transparent pipelines were cut off by Jiang Yi with a knife. The disconnected pipelines actually danced crazily in the air!
Just when everyone thought it would attack them, these thin tubes retracted into the tree roots in an instant, and then the cracks in the bark that were broken open quickly returned to their original state, even the one that Jiang Yi originally opened
The cracks also disappeared without a trace...
This weird scene made everyone's scalp numb. Only then did they truly realize how weird the seven trees mentioned by the boss were! This was just one of them...
No wonder the top brass at the base would label news about the Seven Trees as taboo!
If not for following Jiang Yi, anyone else would have been swallowed by this big tree without even realizing it...
"No wonder, these tree bags are all filled with..." Li Siyu looked at the densely packed big bags on the surrounding tree roots with a look of horror on her face. Her voice was choked with sobs because she was too scared...
Everyone couldn't help but look up!
In the pitch-black night, among the countless large packages of intertwined tree roots in front of them, everyone seemed to hear the wailing sounds of countless creatures losing their lives in mourning...
"Brother! My eldest brother can't..." Tang Bing's legs weakened. If Ayaya hadn't grabbed her quickly with quick hands and eyes, Tang Bing would have collapsed and collapsed to the ground!
Aya hurriedly advised her: "Sister Tang Bing, don't be like this. Your eldest brother is so strong, how could something happen so easily? Boss, tell me quickly if this is true!"
Jiang Yi frowned and looked at the mutated cat struggling on the ground to get up, but it seemed that all its strength had been drained away. He did not say anything nice to Tang Bing to lie to her!
Looking up at a glance, there is obviously a living creature wrapped in countless tree bags. If Tang Feng is really wrapped in this big tree, even if he is a purple-gold level ability user, he is probably in trouble!
"Boss!" Seeing that Jiang Yi didn't speak, Aya couldn't help but increase her volume!
Jiang Yi turned around and looked at Tang Bing who was looking at him expectantly. He was silent for two seconds and then said: "I don't know, but I believe in Brother Yifeng's strength. He won't get into trouble that easily! Let's do it."
Didn't the base confirm that something was really wrong with him before?"
Hearing Jiang Yi's words, everyone just thought that the boss was too straight. At this time, they didn't know how to say a few nice words to enlighten Tang Bing!
But after listening to Jiang Yi's words, Tang Bing seemed to have ignited hope and nodded vigorously: "Yes, you are right, my brother is so strong, how could he be swallowed by a big tree? He must be fine.
But where are we going to find him!"
Tang Bing, who had regained his motivation, was still a little confused and couldn't help but hand over the decision-making power to Jiang Yi!
Jiang Yi pursed his lips: "We are only on the periphery of the big tree now, and there is no real depth yet. If Brother Feng's goal is the mutant fruit produced on the big tree, then if we want to find him, our goal
It can only be there!"
As he spoke, Jiang Yi pointed out that the tree trunk was clearly in front of them, but still seemed to be very far away from them...
Although the terror of the Seven Trees cast a shadow over everyone's heart, no one offered to back down. They were all determined to follow Jiang Yi and continue deeper!
Tang Bing forced himself to cheer up, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and followed Jiang Yi without saying a word. The group of people quickly moved forward in the direction of the tree roots!
And not long after Jiang Yi and the others left, the mutated cat that had been paralyzed on the ground staggered up and its four claws kept waving, trying to escape in fear.
But as it just stood up, it didn't notice that several slender tubes suddenly drilled out of the surface of the tree trunk behind it. They penetrated into its body without anyone noticing, and then pulled hard, amidst the mutated and shrill screams.
, the tree trunk suddenly opened a crack, and after swallowing the mutant cat weighing fifty or sixty kilograms, it healed again. Only an obvious protrusion bulged on the surface, indicating that there was a mutated beast's body hidden inside...
