Fortunately, the waterspout's baptism not only cleared away the obstructive old vines on the wall, but also sifted through the plank roads that hid dangers, which could be considered as a way for Chen Ziyan and the others to explore.
However, in addition to these conveniences, they are not without obstacles. Although most of the thick vines and vines that were knocked down by the waterspout were swept into the waterspout that shot straight into the sky, many were also swept away. Hanging on the plank road.
After all, these plank roads are embedded in the stone walls in a reverse slope, so it is easy to retain the debris passing by here, especially water plants and ancient vines.
Fortunately, everyone is in good physical condition and their mobility is online, so this slight obstacle is nothing. You just need to pay attention when walking.
“Eh? Look, is there someone in this crevice?”
And just as they were halfway through the journey, Wang Kaixuan's voice suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
It turned out that the fat man did not dare to look outside because of his fear of heights. He could only focus on the rock wall inside. Unexpectedly, he made an unexpected discovery inadvertently.
Hearing what Wang Kaixuan said, Chen Ziyan, who was walking in front, immediately stopped and turned around to look at the crevice beside Wang Kaixuan.
He thought he would miss this thing, but he didn't expect to meet it here.
With the help of the flashlight, you can see that this rock crevice is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. The part close to the plank road can only accommodate one person, but it is more than ten square meters inside.
There is a messy vine group inside. It can be clearly seen that this vine group is made of the same kind of vines. Not only are the vines all green in color, but each one is as thick as the mouth of a bowl. You can see this at a glance. Vines are not simple.
And this is not the most eye-catching thing. The most eye-catching thing about this vine group is not the far larger than normal body shape, but what is revealed in the gap.
Through the gap made by the vines, one can vaguely see a humanoid creature in the vines. Judging from the outline, the humanoid creature inside should be a female, but due to the distance, the specific appearance cannot be clearly seen. It can only be seen that the skin of this creature is extremely smooth, and it will reflect light when shining a flashlight on it, but the water-green skin color like a vine is a bit oozing.
After seeing the specific situation in the rock crevice, Chen Ziyan subconsciously looked at Wang Kaixuan.
Although he was very happy to encounter this thousand-year-old wood root here, what he didn't understand was that with the help of the flashlight, he had been looking carefully for so long before he saw the humanoid creature in the vine group. Wang How could Triumph come to this conclusion at such a startling glance?
This is completely unreasonable!
If you glance casually as you walk by, you will only see a sepak takraw ball at most!
Wang Kaixuan did not expect this. When he saw Chen Ziyan looking at him, he immediately asked excitedly: "Master Chen, are there any monsters here?"
He used to only paint. I have seen this kind of humanoid monster in this story, but this is really my first time in reality. This thing is much rarer than any zombie.
Hu Bayi and the others also looked curious at this time, waiting for Chen Ziyan's answer.
Although it was possible that the vines wrapped a corpse, it was not impossible.
“It doesn’t look like a corpse.” Chen Ziyan hesitated and gave such an ambiguous reply.
He can't figure out what's going on now, but the thing inside is definitely a thousand-year-old wood root, so he plans to say this to see other people's reactions.
Hearing this answer, Wang Kaixuan immediately became excited and shouted: "Then what are you waiting for? Let the fat man go in and catch this thing. Let's see what kind of monster it is!"
After that, the guy picked up the gun and planned to go in and find out.
It was difficult to see clearly with the vines covering it, so he planned to pull out the shell first, and then take out the things inside. If he took a closer look, he would know what was inside.
Wang Kaixuan, who was full of these thoughts, completely forgot about the possible dangers and the corpse hole that was being pursued behind him.
Hu Bayi was also eager to give it a try: "This is probably a treasure. You can't miss the blessing given by God."
But when the two of them were planning to enter the crevice, Chen Ziyan was He stretched out his hand to stop them: "Don't disturb the things inside without authorization. We have other things to do now, so there is no need to cause trouble!"
Since we know that something is wrong here, even this matter is revealed everywhere. Weird, how could Chen Ziyan let them come into contact with the thousand-year-old wood root.
He knew now without guessing that if these two guys were to really pull the vines apart and get out the thousand-year-old wood root inside, they would definitely swallow it alive on the spot.
But to deal with such a created thing is simply a waste of natural resources, and it may not be a good thing for them.
Chen Ziyan planned to ignore the thousand-year-old wood root for the time being and let it stay in the rock crevice. After the corpse cave was taken care of, he would return here and transplant it out.
As for whether the thousand-year-old wooden root will be swallowed up by the corpse cave, he is not worried at all. If it is killed so easily, then the wooden root will not be as lifelike as it is now.
And Chen Ziyan has an unspoken idea, that is, the humanoid wooden root should be responding to the disaster this time, just like when the corpse immortal was baptized by thunder, because of their appearance, even if It was as if all the preparations had been made in advance but were all burned down. The thousand-year-old wooden root in front of us may be in a similar situation now. If it can successfully survive in their hands, it will be a logical step forward. But if it falls into the hands of people like them, then everything will naturally be over.
Just like in the original plot, this wooden root met Hu Bayi and others who were hungry and thirsty and were poisoned by corpse moth poison. After they roughly determined its origin, they took it out without thinking. As a gift, he cut it into eight pieces on the spot and swallowed it in his belly, causing thousands of years of hard work to be wiped out in one day.
The current situation is obviously developing according to the context in his memory. If Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan are allowed to continue, Mu Yuan will probably end up with the same end.
"Mr. Chen, this job is easy. If you still don't believe in my craftsmanship, it's definitely easy to clean up such a thing!" When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he immediately felt it was a pity and wanted to continue fighting for it. one time.
Looking at the way he was patting his chest in assurance, one might have thought that he had done similar things many times before.
Hu Bayi helped: "There is definitely a treasure in this vine ball. If it is a corpse, that's fine, but if the plants and medicinal materials give birth to a human form, it will be worth a million dollars!"
Ding Sitian is the same! Then he said: "I have heard people say in the past that there is a nearly ten thousand-year-old elixir deep in the ground. It is so lifelike. After eating it, it can not only be reborn and expel diseases in the body, but also make the user immune to the world from now on. All vegetation is poisonous!”
Although Shirley Yang did not say a word, she did not hide the longing in her eyes. She obviously also wanted to taste this thousand-year-old elixir.
Especially after they stood here for a while, an indescribable fragrance came out, which made people salivate uncontrollably.
It can be said that after what Ding Sitian said, not to mention other people who were already yearning for her, even Chen Ziyan was tempted.
Let’s not mention anything else for now, but being immune to the poisons of all the plants and trees in the world is such a blessing.
But although he was moved, he was not blinded by greed. Instead, he became more alert deep down.
Because he found that whether it was Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, Shirley Yang and Ding Sixian, they were all staring at the vines in the rock crevices, their eyes full of obsession and yearning.
This can no longer be described as something wrong. It is completely a manifestation of being bewitched by something.
If Ding Sitian was still awake, Chen Ziyan might be in a relaxed mood at the moment, which shows that the thing that was bewitching was not strong enough.
But now even Ding Sitian, who was protected by the Eyeless Dragon Talisman, was caught in the attack. He raised his vigilance to the highest level in an instant.
“I would say that this thing was probably blown into the rock crevices by the wind. The roots are probably broken long ago and it won’t survive long without nutrients. Let’s not be so polite and just take advantage of the freshness. Eat it." Wang Kaixuan licked his lips and suggested.
The more he looked at the things in the vine group, the hungrier he became, and he felt quite scratched in his heart.
Hearing this, Hu Bayi immediately expressed his agreement: "What Fatty said makes sense. If this thing doesn't come out earlier, it won't come out later. It just shows up here, and it happened to be discovered by us. This makes sense." It’s our destiny!”
Hearing the two singing in harmony, Chen Ziyan immediately knew that he could not continue like this, otherwise it would be more difficult for him to stop him later.
"This damn place!"
After cursing secretly in his heart, Chen Ziyan didn't give a few people a chance to react, and took them one by one away from the rock crevice.
A few people thought of struggling at first, but after leaving the area, their heads immediately became clearer. Although they were a little unclear about the meaning of Chen Ziyan's actions, they did not resist.
After leading a few people to the plank road on the upper level, Chen Ziyan looked at the people and asked, "How do you feel now?"
The people looked at each other, and finally Hu Bayi asked: "Master Chen, why do you ask that?"
Hearing what Hu Bayi said, Chen Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly, looked into his eyes and asked: "Old Hu, do you still remember what happened just now?"
Hu Bayi said inexplicably: " Remember, is there something wrong?”
Is there something wrong?
This is so wrong!
You were brought here forcibly by me, but now you don’t think there is anything wrong. This is the biggest wrong, okay!
After hearing this reply, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but curse the evil family in his heart.
Just by Hu Bayi's question, he knew that there must be something wrong, otherwise he would never react like this.
No, it should be that after several people were brought here, they did not take the initiative to ask themselves, which is enough to explain the problem.
