After deciding on the team's action plan to head east, Wu Qi led everyone to the lair of the Purple-haired Lion King.
That huge cave could accommodate 100 people, not to mention seven more people. Everyone marveled at the hugeness of Yidong Cave, and then set up their camp next to Wu Qi's temporary camp.
The rest of the team had a tent to sleep in when they arrived. The tent provided protection from the wind and the marching blanket kept them warm, which was much better than Wu Qi sleeping alone on the cold stone floor of the cave.
Wu Qi and Yue Zhanfei talked for a few words, and it was enough for the two of them to travel together with Little Red Fox. Yue Zhanfei nodded and ordered everyone else who went east to stay in the cave camp to sort out the arrangements for their recent lives. Xiao Kui is responsible for keeping an eye on his teammates and responding with all his strength if a plague species invades the cave.
At that time, Xiao Kui, Lu Junjun, and Pi Chunsheng didn't care whether Yue Zhanfei was very majestic or not, because listening to Yue Zhanfei's deployment had already integrated into their habits and become part of their work.
Wu Qi and Yue Zhanfei walked through the cave side by side and came outside. The little red fox stepped on its little feet and swayed its fluffy fiery red tail, following Wu Qi.
Wu Qi led Yue Zhanfei around the weathered rock walls like the Gobi Desert, and climbed to the top of one rock wall after another on difficult paths. In 10 minutes, they arrived at the other side of the rock mountain.
At this moment, the sky is dark blue and almost black in color, and a tiny amount of light shines from the east, illuminating the rocky beach full of gravel and gravel in front of it into a darker blue.
The arc of the sky has almost lost its light. In another 30 minutes at most, the world in the east of the sky will be so dark that you can’t even see your fingers.
"It's so dark. Can they go back?" Yue Zhanfei asked.
Wu Qi took a picture of the animal skin backpack on Yidong's back: "He dug out some luminous crystals that grew in the cave, and they would emit a lavender shimmer at any time. He could see things when there was light."
"That's good." Yue Zhanfei found that Wu Qi was very well prepared, worthy of someone who had been in the abyss for three days.
Wu Qi thought of this and asked: "Captain Yue, won't my 'Global Sight' be useful when it's dark? It's obviously the same as perspective in the fog."
Yue Zhanfei said grandly, regardless of whether or not his Keli was weak: "The two are different. His Keli is afraid of everything, but if his Keli must ask for one condition, it is light. Originally, humans could not see things without light. He asked his colleagues from other investigation teams who saw the night as red as day, and they all said that they wanted the minimum light. The same could be said for owls, after all, no matter how powerful their eyes are at gathering light. , should we seek light?"
Wu Qi fully understood what Yue Zhanfei said. In his atavistic state, the light-gathering ability of his eyes was much stronger than that of an owl, but he had to bring some luminous crystals. The abyss is no better than the human world. In the human world, there will always be a moon hanging high in the sky, and even if there are dark clouds, the eastern light will shine through. But when the sky turns dark in the middle of the night, the abyss will be so dark that it is outrageous.
The fear of the unknown is human nature, and Wu Qi is a person who is good at overcoming fear, but if he was given a choice, he would rather see with low light than rely on heat-sensing vision to warn of danger.
The dark forest in Wu Qi's memory was at the other end of the rocky beach. When crossing the rocky beach, Wu Qi picked up the little red fox to prevent the little red fox's paws from being scratched by the sharp gravel.
The two of them and one fox soon saw the dark forest in the dark night. The sky was already dark, and the dark forest in front was bare, with every tree trunk and branch as black as ink. It was difficult for them to see the whole of the dark forest clearly.
Wu stretched out his right leg and blocked Yue Zhanfei's chest. He looked ahead and said: "If you take another step forward, you will enter the territory of the 'blood-drawing tree'. The roots of the blood-drawing tree are rooted in the rocky ground and can sense any movement on the ground. Once it senses that a creature is approaching, it will suddenly Launch an attack; if you mistake a creature that smells unfamiliar, the blood-sucking tree will deliberately act to put the target closer to the main body before launching an attack. Their range is about 10 meters, and all branches can move as flexibly and quickly as human legs and arms. Swinging, entangling, and thrusting; once any creature is pierced by the spikes on the top of the branches of the blood-draining tree, the blood and isovirus will be lost at a very fast speed. Please be especially careful, as their bark is hard and abyssal. The rocks are not that different.”
Yue Zhanfei said: "The information I know is really comprehensive. Have I been stabbed?"
"When I was attacked, I reacted very quickly and escaped." Wu Qi recalled. When he had no information at the time, he was attacked by the blood-drawing tree after being placed 3 meters away. More than a dozen black branches as hard as abyss rocks attacked him at the same time. If not for the hunter's intuitive warning, he unconsciously changed his course of action. , the main dodge instead of fighting back, but he has long been turned into the nutrients of the blood-draining tree.
As for the subsequent information, he could only get it by catching dying plague seeds for testing.
Yue Zhanfei observed the blood-draining trees for a few seconds with the almost non-existent light. Those trees looked like they should grow next to the gloomy castle. They didn't have a single leaf on them, and they were all motionless.
The blood-drawing tree looks very quiet and well-behaved, but it seems strange to be motionless. There was clearly a north wind blowing on the rocky beach at night, so how could the normal tree branches remain motionless
"Are they going to cut down their branches to burn firewood? The blood-sucking trees feed on animals, so will the fire produce an unpleasant smell?" Yue Zhanfei was a little worried.
"But there is a place within 50 miles that has plants."
Yue Zhan Fei Ming blushed. So let's do it, and they need fire tomorrow night.
Yue Zhanfei took out his electromagnetic rifle, turned on the safety, and prepared to shoot.
Wu Qi squatted eastward and touched the little red fox's neck: "In July, the woods in front of me release the 'anti-aircraft ray' with all its strength!"
Qi Qi raised her head and whined, as if to say: "Leave it to him."
At a moment east, blue lightning and orange-red lava pillars invaded the blood-drawing forest at the same time. Deafening gunshots and explosions, as well as the crackling sounds of scorching fire, were heard one after another. The blood-sucking tree that had been dormant before was waving its branches frantically in an attempt to get the lava or flames at a thousand degrees out of its body, but it could not escape them even if they were rooted in place.
The black blood-drawing forest was swept east by Yue Zhanfei's bullets and high-heat rays that lasted for 20 seconds, and one-fifth of the outer perimeter was instantly destroyed. The flames burn out quickly. Qi Qi was very smart, and deliberately controlled the high-heat rays to sweep the roots of the blood-sucking trees, destroying their vitality to the maximum extent, while retaining half of the tree for burning firewood.
