At this time, Zhang Li and Xiaowen who followed me also saw this strange flower. Like me, they were also very surprised. Zhang Li was a seventeen-year-old girl after all. She ran over happily
Next to the flower, he exclaimed in admiration: "There are such magical flowers in the world, they are so beautiful!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to touch the purple petals. I suddenly felt that something was wrong with her actions, so I quickly shouted: "Don't touch it!"
However, Zhang Li's hand had already touched the purple petals. After hearing my words, she quickly took her hand back and looked back at me in shock, her eyes seeming to ask why.
I smiled apologetically at her and said, "I think this flower is not only beautiful, but also a little weird. It doesn't look like a flower in the world. It's better you don't touch it."
The little clerk also nodded and said: "I think Yunlong is right. I think everything is strange in this place. We should be careful. If we are bumped into like Pang Xiaotai and Wu Fei, we will suffer the consequences."
When he mentioned it, I suddenly thought of the sacrificed Wu Fei and Pang Xiaotai and Mr. Lu who were now uncertain about their lives. I felt sad for a while. Since entering this seventh-level dragon's lair, two people have been sacrificed, and apart from now
The three of us and the others have gone, and we don’t know where they are. Are they still alive?
The little clerk seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing and lowered his head sadly.
Suddenly he shouted: "No! There is something moving underground, and it seems to be coming towards us!"
When Zhang Li and I hurriedly looked underground, it was already too late.
Countless dark red filaments broke out from the ground like extending branches, quickly stretching towards our feet and legs.
In desperation, I raised the God-killing Miao knife and chopped off some of the red threads that had entangled me under my feet. The red threads were broken by the knife, and black juice flowed out from the breaks.
At this time, Xiaowen Wen and Zhang Li were already entangled in red threads. The red threads snaked up their ankles and soon reached their calves. They were bending over and using their hands desperately.
Tearing at the thin threads on those legs.
I quickly jumped and slashed at the red threads that were tangled around me on the ground, while approaching them.
Since the little clerk was standing very close to me, I only jumped a few times to get to him. Then I hurriedly raised my knife to cut off the pile of red silk at his feet, and said loudly to him: "Jump and run! Climb to the
Get up the tree behind!"
Then I chopped left and right to fight my way through the pile of countless red threads to Zhang Li's side. At this time, the red threads had already reached Zhang Li's waist, and her entire lower limbs were already densely entangled with those red threads.
.
I quickly jumped around her and cut off the red silk on her body.
In a matter of ten seconds, the grassy ground was covered with countless red threads, which were winding, stretching and wrapping around the two of us crazily.
I quickly cut off all the red threads on Zhang Li's body, and then I pulled her and said, "Follow me! Let's go to the big tree."
At this time, the little clerk had already jumped to the foot of the tree, and climbed up along some of the bumps on the big tree.
I lowered my head and kept cutting at the dense red threads on the ground, and quickly moved closer to the tree.
It was only a dozen steps, and I felt like I was sweating profusely and had been cutting hard for a long time before I got to the tree. When I looked back, I saw that Zhang Li had been following behind and was not tangled in the red thread anymore.
At this time, Xiao Wenwen had reached the big tree branch closest to the ground. He was riding on it with his legs spread apart and shouted to us loudly: "Come up quickly!"
I pulled Zhang Li in front of me, squatted down, and said to her: "Zhang Li, quickly step on my shoulders and let the little clerk pull you up."
Zhang Li quickly agreed, holding on to the big tree, and put her feet on my shoulders. I pushed up hard. Zhang Li held on to the big tree and stretched out her hand, just in time to reach Xiaowen's hand. Xiaowen then took his hand.
He pulled her up forcefully.
At this time, out of consideration for Zhang Li, my hands moved a little slower, and a few red threads quickly wrapped around my feet and climbed up my calves.
Suddenly, the little clerk shouted anxiously to me from above: "Yunlong, I put down the rope for you. You turn around and grab it. Zhang Li and I will pull you up."
I hurriedly swung the God-killing Miao knife a few times and cut off the red threads. Then I handed the knife to my left hand, turned around and grabbed the hanging rope with my right hand, identified several uneven places on the tree body, and stepped on them with my feet.
Hold on, following the efforts of Xiaowen and Zhang Li, I climbed up the big tree branch in a few steps.
I panted and lowered my head to look at the red threads on the ground. They were densely packed under the tree, stretching and swinging, as if they wanted to climb up the tree.
But they seemed to be a little afraid of this tree. Once they touched the tree, they would shrink back.
The three of us finally looked at each other and let out a long breath.
At this time, Zhang Li looked at me and Xiaowen timidly and said, "I'm sorry, it was only me who touched the petals that made this happen."
I smiled, reached out and touched the sweat on my forehead and said to her: "I don't blame you, I just blame this place for being really weird. Something unexpected will happen no matter what."
The little clerk also said to Zhang Li: "Yeah, don't blame yourself. Maybe it wasn't caused by you touching the flower. Maybe, when we saw the flower, the red thread had already begun to arch outward from the ground."
Zhang Li smiled shyly at us, then frowned and said, "What should we do now? I don't know when those red threads on the ground will go back."
The little clerk and I looked at each other, and the little clerk said, "There's nothing we can do, we can only wait."
I turned my head and looked around, then looked up at the very large tree crown. My heart moved, and I suddenly had an idea.
I said to them: "Well, we haven't eaten for a long time. Let's take advantage of this moment to eat something first and wait to see if the red thread below will recede. If we finish eating, the red thread will still be on the ground.
, then we will climb up to the canopy, see if we can find a suitable drop point through the coverage area of the tree canopy, and use the rope to get down to the ground."
Upon hearing this, the little clerk happily punched me on the shoulder and said, "You are indeed very smart. Okay, let's decide like this."
So the three of us took out food and water bottles from our backpacks and prepared to eat something first.
At this time, the little clerk looked at the little food left in the hands of the three of us and said worriedly: "We don't have much to eat. If we can't find the way out of this place, I really don't know what to do."
alright."
When Zhang Li and I heard what he said, we didn't know what to say, so we lowered our heads and started eating. Seeing that we were silent, Xiao Wenwen sadly lowered his head and started chewing the only food in his hands.
About ten minutes later, the three of us simply finished eating. When we looked down, the red threads were still swaying in the wind and had not receded.
Zhang Li and I said, "We have no choice. Those red threads are not going away. We can only climb up the tree trunk and look for other ways out."
Xiaowen and Zhang Li looked at each other helplessly and nodded in agreement.
So we packed our backpacks, with the small clerk in front, Zhang Li in the middle, and me in the back. The three of us climbed up the tree trunk with difficulty, using the unevenness of the tree body and ropes.
Fortunately, we had eaten something and gained some strength. Coupled with the unevenness of the tree, we successfully climbed to the highest part of the canopy in twenty minutes.
At this time, the three of us were really exhausted, and psychologically I felt the most fatigued.
The three of us sat on the top of the tree canopy with sweat on our faces. The little clerk took out the water bottle and took a swig of water. Then he looked around and said, "Yunlong, what should we do now?"
I stood up holding on to a thick branch, then looked around and found a slope to the west that seemed to be relatively close to our tree crown. I decided to climb over the tree crown and then descend from there.
I talked about my idea with them, and they both said they had no objection. So we rested on the canopy for about five minutes and started climbing to the west.
This tree has grown somehow, it is very dense, and the branches on the crown of the tree are also very thick. We can walk directly along the branches as long as we have a good balance.
About ten minutes later, we arrived at the expected place. We looked down and saw that this small slope was not very big. It was covered with green grass and mixed with many small flowers that could not be named. It looked very beautiful.
pretty.
After observing for a few minutes, we discussed and decided to go ahead.
The little clerk climbed down the rope. I said hello to them and then climbed down the rope first.
After landing, I carefully observed the surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, I waved my hand to signal them to come down quickly.
It was Zhang Li first, followed by Xiaowen, and the two of them successfully descended to the ground.
