Chapter 179 Tumi


Chapter 179 Tumi

As soon as a gap was revealed in the air-tight door, a strong and almost suffocating aroma wafted out from inside the door.

The expressions of Sun Hang and the other three people changed, and they immediately took out gas masks and covered their faces.

"I'll go. Isn't this smell poisonous?" The fisherman's voice came out from under the gas mask, which seemed a bit dull.

"Not sure..." Yano's face looked a little ugly. The smell came so unexpectedly that the three of them all inhaled a bit.

"Do you feel anything wrong with your body?" The fisherman asked again, "I don't know why, but I have a very strange feeling."

"What's the strange feeling?" Yano asked.

"An...indescribable feeling...it's very comfortable and pleasant...I always have the urge to take off the gas mask and take a few more breaths," the fisherman said.

"I feel the same way." Yano nodded, "This smell is very tempting and addictive...Fortunately, the amount we inhaled was not very large."

After the three people put on the temporary gas masks on their faces again, Sun Hang walked to the air-tight door again and pushed the heavy air-tight door to one side little by little.

The fisherman and Yano Seiichi subconsciously tensed up their bodies, staring intently at the tunnel behind the door that was gradually revealed.

Relying on the faint light coming from outside, you can vaguely see a huge irregular shadow entrenched in the tunnel...

"It's really big...it almost blocks the entire tunnel." The fisherman frowned, "How are we going to get through..."

Finally, the airtight door was completely pushed aside, and the three of them could see clearly that there were countless vines entangled inside the tunnel. The thinnest of these vines were twice as thick as Sun Hang's arm. On the surface, There are cracked lines like scales. Through these cracked lines, you can vaguely see a substance emitting dark red fluorescence flowing inside the vine.

Under the protection of layers of vines, a bud the size of a fist stood there.

This bud has extremely gorgeous bright red petals. From a distance, it seems that it is not a bud, but a blazing flame at the end of the vine.

The buds were beating slightly, like the heart of some kind of creature.

Those vines are its "blood vessels", and the dark red substance flowing in them is its "blood".

"I...I know this thing..." Yano said with a look of astonishment, "No. Ding 15, 'Tumi'... However, according to the records of Tianshu Tower, 'Tumi' should be on an island in Indonesia. In the jungle, not here.”

"This is a replica made by researchers on the Nameless Island who used the 'Tumi' meme," Sun Hang said.

It's just that this replica seems to have been "contaminated", but unlike Xin Jiuwu, this "contamination" has given Tumi extremely majestic energy. It's hard to imagine that when the bud blooms, At that time, what will it be like? "Put the replica aside for now, Yano, that 'Tumi' you mentioned...is it poisonous?" the fisherman asked hurriedly.

"As for the poison... Theoretically, inhaling a small amount of the smell released by the tea plant will not have any impact on the body. On the contrary, it will make people feel happy... In fact, you just told me that you also have this kind of smell. When I was reacting, I thought of this for a moment, but because the geographical span is so big..."

"Then what are the characteristics of this strange thing? Tell me." Sun Hang asked.

Although he knew that the thing blocking the tunnel was a replica of Tumi, he did not know the specific characteristics of Tumi.

"Tumi was first discovered in 4587 in the lunar calendar... or in 4578, on a small island in Indonesia called 'Pratang Bak'. The local government's troops received reports that there was something strange on the island. After the report of the creature, a battalion of troops was sent to the island for reconnaissance, which happened to coincide with the quadrennial 'Happiness Festival' of the indigenous tribes on the island..."

"Happy Festival? This festival...could it be Tumi?" Sun Hang asked as he stretched out his hand to adjust the headband of the gas mask behind his head.

"Well, among the indigenous tribes on the island, the tea tree is called the 'Flower of Joy'. They squeeze the juice from the roots of the tea tree, mix it with sawdust and soil, and then dry it to make incense - they use them In other words, this incense can cure all diseases and make people forget all pain and troubles, but in fact..."

"It's actually a high-strength hallucinogen, right?"

"That's right." Yano nodded.

There are similar examples of this kind of thing in Xiazhou Continent. Sun Hang remembered that he had seen it in a document introducing the primitive tribes in the Yunnan and Dian regions. The indigenous people living in the rain forest would specifically look for a brightly colored tree. After eating the fungi, you will feel as if you are in a fairyland... Although many people never return to the human world after "landing in a fairyland", this That didn't stop others from continuing to search for and eat the fungus.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Because that feeling is addictive, its effect is actually similar to the hallucinogenic or sedative drugs strictly controlled by the Xiazhou Federation, and it is easy for people to become dependent... Driven by curiosity, I tried it once After that, I will think about trying it a second time or a third time...

Until you are completely addicted and can never wake up again.

But according to this statement, the harmfulness of this tea is actually about the same as the poisonous mushrooms that can be seen everywhere in the rainforest?

Moreover, since the "Happy Festival" is held every four years, does this mean that the indigenous tribe on the island has been coexisting peacefully with this strange thing called "Tumi" for many years?

"What happened next?" The fisherman hurriedly asked, "According to people's attitude towards monsters at that time, regardless of whether the monster is a threat or not, eradicating it completely is the highest priority option, right?"

"After listening to the description of the natives, the soldiers who landed on the island immediately determined that the 'Flower of Joy' was a D-shaped strange thing. The officer leading the team immediately decided to burn it, but they were met by the natives on the island. Strong resistance.”

"Resist? Don't tell me... those well-armed regular soldiers can't defeat a group of tribal natives with bows, arrows and spears, right?" the fisherman said in shock.

"Under normal circumstances, it would definitely be impossible to defeat... It was indeed a massacre. After receiving permission to fire, the soldiers almost slaughtered the tribe. Just as they forced the last few prisoners to lead the way to Tumi's location When they arrived, the natives behind them who were shot by bullets got up from the pool of blood one by one. "
