"Brother Zhou, what should we do?"
"What should we do? Cut it off! "
After saying that, I took out the machete that I used to chop down branches, and charged towards the vines that had gathered around me.
However, I was already exhausted to the point where I was sweating profusely. The amount of space we could move our bodies in had also been reduced by nearly half, yet I couldn't even cut off a single vine!
Moreover, when I was cutting a vine, there would be other vines extending towards me from all directions, as if they had thoughts of their own, as they wanted to wrap around me!
Although the vines aren't moving fast, there are too many of them. If we get entangled by these things, we will definitely die!
We had no choice but to give up and retreat.
Looking at the rapidly closing branches, my heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but I couldn't think of any way!
If it was Zhang Zikong, what would he do?
As we thought about this, we retreated towards the main trunk of the man-eating tree. The space that we could move around in was getting smaller and smaller. The countless tentacle-like vines were swaying right in front of our eyes as if they were looking for food, and we couldn't help but feel our hearts go numb!
Calm down, calm down! This was just a plant, there was no thought behind it! Weakness of plants, weakness of plants... That's right! Every plant has two weaknesses! The first was afraid of bugs, the second was afraid of fire!
Thinking about this, I quickly emptied my bag. Without saying anything further, I picked up the remaining half bottle of gasoline from the fire and poured it towards the vines. Afterwards, I lit up a ball of cotton and threw it towards the place where there was gasoline!
However, just as I was about to lift the burning cotton cloth, a vine directly extended down from the tree trunk and wrapped around my hand!
"Dang, quick!" Don't worry about me, light the fire! "
Hearing my words, Bighead took the ball of cotton from my hand without any hesitation and threw it towards the place where I had poured the gasoline! Under the pulling force, I was immediately suspended in the air!
Whoosh!
The moment the cotton cloth touched the gasoline, a wall of fire instantly rose up in front of our eyes! The fierce fire directly burned those vines until they crackled, and it did indeed create a big hole for us to burn through!
But at this time, there were countless more tree vines that hung down from the top of the tree trunk like snakes. They stretched out from behind us without saying a word!
Since I was now hanging in midair, I had no way of escaping. And no matter how much this dumb kid cursed at me, he refused to leave, so a few minutes later, we were all wrapped up by those tree vines and suspended in the air like mummies!
After our bodies were completely covered by the tree vines, I could clearly feel that the tree vines started to secrete a kind of tree sap that made people feel moist and slimy. Furthermore, after being in contact with the tree sap for a while, the skin that came in contact with the tree sap immediately began to burn in pain!
This bastard had brought so many storms and waves with him, but he never thought that he would end up dying at the hands of a plant at the bottom of the food chain!
The more I thought about it, the more upset I felt in my heart. However, being tightly bound by those vines, I was unable to move at all. There was nothing I could do!
"Brother Zhou!"
As I was enduring the pain in my body and thinking about what I had done in my life, that woman's shrill voice rang out again!
When that voice rang out, I could clearly feel that the strength of the tree vines had been greatly reduced, and the tree juice had also stopped secreting!
"Brother Zhou!"
Another sound echoed. Then, I noticed that all of the vines on my body had loosened and I had escaped from the man-eating tree.
When he landed on the ground, he could see that dead frogs were strewn all over the vicinity of the man-eating tree. The vines of the man-eating trees were obviously attracted by the dead frogs, and they rushed towards the source of the stench!
It looks like that woman saved us!
Although we don't know how she found out about this method, but no matter what, we managed to survive.
After falling from the sky, I dragged the large board along as I fled into the distance without saying anything further.
"Brother Zhou, tell me, why did that girl save us but not come out to see us?"
After leaving the attack range of the man-eating tree, Dazhi wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and asked me puzzledly. I didn't know how to answer this question, so I could only look in the direction of the man-eating tree from afar.
"I don't know. Perhaps he thinks that we're not very trustworthy."
Afterwards, as we headed towards the valley, we could vaguely see the figure of that woman. However, what made us puzzled was that every time we saw that figure, she was always on the tree! And as soon as she saw us looking at her, she would hide behind the tree trunk.
I used to often hear stories of people looking at the mountains and running their horses to death, but today, I finally understood the true meaning of this.
Originally, we had traveled for an entire day in that seemingly not too far away valley. However, we did not arrive at the edge of the valley until it was night.
Looking at the magnificent valley and the green trees, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. It was as if there was some kind of beast hiding in the valley, and our trip this time was a mistake!
The entire valley was like a product of the movement of the earth. Although the valley was already overgrown with towering trees, the stone walls of the valley seemed to have been cut by sharp blades and there was no place for them to climb.
On top of that, the sky had already darkened. It would be dangerous if it got dark, so we had no choice but to set up camp on the spot. We'll think of a way down tomorrow when the sun rises.
Although we used up all the gasoline at the man-eating tree, there were still a lot of dry leaves nearby, so despite all the effort, we managed to light the fire.
After nightfall, when Bighead was bored to death, he simply took out the pocket radio station to play with it.
After some fiddling, the radio finally started beeping.
Towards these things, I didn't understand at all and could only curiously look at the big board fiddling with it. However, after the big board fiddling with it for a while, I couldn't help but to take off my headphones and frown.
"Brother Zhou, this doesn't seem to be a radio station!" It's a modified tracking device that can be used to track the movements of certain animals! "
As he said that, he put the earphones next to his ears. After listening for a while, he suddenly stood up and pointed at a big tree behind me with a surprised expression.
"Brother Zhou, there's something behind that tree!"
Upon hearing those words, I immediately stood up from the ground. Without saying anything further, I took out my handgun and turned around to face the large tree behind me.
But after five or six minutes, we didn't see anything emerge from behind the tree, or hear anything strange.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but have some doubts. But, I didn't dare to relax my gaze as I stared at the big tree. "Big board, what did you see just now?"
"It's not that I saw it, but from what it says, the thing they were chasing after is behind that big tree!"
Hearing that, I couldn't help but become even more doubtful.
"What did they track? "What is it?"
"I don't know either!" However, this radio station seems to have been turned into a signal receiver, and according to the display on the receiver, there's already a signal source on the trunk of that big tree! "
Hearing this, I immediately raised my head to look at the tree trunk. But because it was so dark, or because there was nothing above it, I saw nothing but the moonlight shining through the leaves.
"Are you sure there's something on that tree trunk?"
"I'm not sure either. It's just that that's what the receiver says."
Saying that, he sat back down and started rummaging through his backpack, "Let's wait first!" When I discovered this receiver, I thought it was a radio station, so I put it in a booklet next to it that looked like a code book.
As he spoke, he took out a booklet from his bag and started flipping through it. However, the moment he flipped open the book, his expression immediately changed!
Upon seeing this, I immediately head towards the large board. However, when I saw the contents of the booklet, my expression immediately turned even uglier than his.
The book was not a password book, but a notepad recording the tracking process, as well as some insights from the tracker. Judging from the elegant handwriting, the one who was responsible for operating the tracking device before was probably a woman.
June 1st. Today was the third day I followed them into the mountains. Although the things they said were unbelievable, for my poor child's sake, I still decided to give it a try! If I succeed, my child will be well again, and for that, what does it matter if I die? If it fails, then let me accompany my child!
June 2nd. Too terrifying! They actually wanted to use the living as sacrifices, saying that this was the only way to find the correct place to bury Ironwood! But for my poor child's sake, I have no choice but to do as they say!
June 3rd. It seemed that the heavens were indeed determined to see this! So many people died inside, but our people managed to successfully obtain the sheepskin scroll … For my child's sake, I can only give up my life in exchange. Child, I hope you can live well!
June 4th. Too terrifying! He really didn't expect that the ancient people would be so cruel and use such terrifying methods to torture the newborn baby! Furthermore, they even used that thing as a weapon to protect the dead. Aren't they afraid that their children and grandchildren will receive retribution?
June 5th. My body had undergone an obvious change. The pain had tormented me for an entire day, and I had also seen all sorts of strange illusions. I hope they can keep their promise and come to my house to save my poor child after we find that thing …
