Shen Cheng's breathing fluttered.
Almost at the same time as she groaned in a low voice, Li Weilan had already noticed her abnormality, and asked her worriedly: "Chengcheng, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
He was prepared for the fall just now, and he fell dizzy for a while, but he couldn't see it because he barely suppressed her.
Shen Cheng stole a glance at him, but she couldn't tell her agitation in her heart, especially seeing him with a clear and calm expression, she felt more and more ashamed that her agitation was particularly embarrassing.
I always feel that from the side, his nose bridge is high and straight, especially when he looks at himself intently in the dim light, and only looks at himself alone, which is very attractive.
But his eyes were full of worry, Shen Cheng always felt that her agitation at the moment was very strange, she lowered her head a little ashamedly, and said nothing in silence.
She didn't speak, and Li Weilan became more and more worried. He reached out and grabbed her hand, gently shook it, and felt her body temperature was slightly higher, worried that she was affected by the environment in the damp and dark cave and felt uncomfortable: "Cheng Cheng, drink some water?"
There is everything in his space.
Water is no exception.
Shen Cheng thought for a while, then nodded.
Li Weilan was worried about her situation, so after thinking about it, she took out a drop of today's spiritual spring, and quietly added it to the water glass.
Although he has never drank the Lingquan, according to what she said before, it is good for both people and plants. If she is not feeling well, drinking a little should make her feel better.
He took out the water glass and was about to hand it over, but out of nowhere, a rough snake-like thing protruded out of nowhere, grabbed the glass roughly and ran away with a "crash"!
That thing was rough and direct, it snatched the cup and ran away, but it was able to maintain its stability, and the water in it didn't leak out!
Li Weilan's expression changed: there is spiritual spring water in there!
Shen Chengqi's eyes were about to turn red: What is it? This is the water that Zai Zai personally poured for her!
Grab it and run, what the hell is this
But this time, even though it was dark, they could all see clearly that the one who snatched her things and ran away seemed to be a thick and long vine, twisting and twisting like a snake emerging from the soil: it turned out that the one around them The thing that followed them all the way just now is hidden in the soil!
It appeared suddenly, but now holding the cup, it could no longer withdraw into the ground.
Li Weilan took Shen Cheng to chase. The cave looked crooked and complicated like a maze, but under the guidance of this vine, the two chased it all the way, and finally heard the sound of water coming from the front. gurgling.
Underground lake
The two looked at each other, and the bottom of Shen Cheng's eyes turned red: this place is stronger and clearer than the restlessness it brought to her just now.
She couldn't describe this feeling, as if it was spring and she wanted to go out to have fun, or she felt itchy and wanted to roll around on the ground twice, or she wanted to stay in bed when she didn't get enough sleep,
Shen Cheng didn't want Li Weilan to worry.
At this moment, the two of them had already seen the scene in front of them, Li Weilan's expression froze, and she slightly pulled Shen Cheng behind her, but Shen Cheng had already seen the scene in the cave in front of her, her heart tightened, her face turned pale up.
There is a huge tree growing beside the underground lake.
This giant tree, which resembles a banyan tree, has branches that move slowly without wind, like tentacles. There are countless cocoon-like bags hanging on its body. Seen from the almost transparent appearance, each There seemed to be a person lying in the bag, curled up cross-legged inside.
With every breath, the film of the bag slowly squirmed, and the tentacles of the banyan tree were tightly connected to the top of the bags, and it was unclear whether they were sucking something from the bag or watering it.
Shen Cheng's stomach was churning for a while---she suddenly remembered the tree that Zai Zai met when she went to the supermarket for the first time, but what she saw at that time were all in Q version, which did not affect her spirit. The impact is not as big as it is now.
Thinking about the girl who gave up the game at the beginning because it was too bloody and exciting, Shen Cheng suddenly understood why the game chose the Q version as the entry point at the beginning.
The vines that took the spiritual spring in their hands slowly returned to the tree.
It was pious, and like a hand, it slowly enshrined the spiritual spring it had snatched to the tree body.
Shen Cheng didn't know if the tree was confirming the taste and nutrition of the Lingquan, but Li Weilan looked at this scene, but could guess that the effect of the Lingquan on the tree was definitely greater than they imagined: without it, the whole tree could smell The moment the spirit spring smelled, it was trembling wildly with excitement, and the tree trembled as if it had Parkinson's!
Seeing that the tree was in a hurry to drink the spiritual spring, Li Weilan felt sorry for the fact that he only had one drop of spiritual spring water a day---this was originally what he wanted to 'pay tribute' to Cheng Cheng, but now he fed the tree that brought them here , he would never be unwilling or unwilling!
He closed his eyes: just now everyone in the room fell asleep, this strange tree definitely has the ability to hypnotize!
The bodyguard who was on duty outside died silently, without even making a sound of fighting. How did this tree make the whole house fall asleep
Hypnosis? Infrasound
wrong…
When his eyes unconsciously drifted to the blue particles floating everywhere, Li Weilan suddenly understood something---he remembered that he used space cutting to break through the vines, and a large number of blue particles gushed out from inside, and The dim light that can be seen everywhere here should be its means of controlling everyone!
These floating lights are its tentacles, its spores, distributed in the corners of the air.
spore! It controls everyone with spores!
The moment Li Weilan thought of this, a question arose: How to deal with spore control
Wait... There seems to be a mask in his space.
Li Weilan remembered that he had let go of the gas mask before, and now he immediately took out two, one was put on Shen Cheng's face, and the other was just put on for himself, he immediately jumped out and stabbed at the tree!
A layer of lightning suddenly appeared on the tree.
That layer of lightning was like a net, protecting most of the tree. It trembled twice, and was about to strike back, when a cold smile suddenly appeared on Li Weilan's face. He turned around and struck again. The spatial rift in one hand directly swallowed the spiritual spring water and the vine together in one gulp!
The tree trembled angrily: it could feel that the thing that could get it out of its current situation was gone!
That ball of pure spiritual energy can't even be felt from a distance!
And its hope of advancing has suddenly become zero!
The surrounding fog gradually exploded "puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff", the whole space floated up in groups of light blue rain mist, but the tree's invincible ability suddenly failed at this time, it still didn't understand why this happened. Humans have already found a way to break through its defense---its tortoise shell is very thick, but in front of the space crack, it is nothing more than folding two more layers of space!
Breaking through the protective film that was as slippery as oil on the tree, Li Weilan injected a lot of supernatural powers into his other hand, and when the thunderbolt spat out, the tree suddenly roared, its bark seemed to be blocked. With the ability to cut off the power, the tree itself didn't suffer too much damage, but the skins connected to it trembled violently one after another, and immediately stopped moving.
At this time, Shen Cheng suddenly heard a slightly hoarse female voice: "Are you going to bully me with him too? You have a smell that makes me feel very close."
"Lanlan! Stop!" Shen Cheng yelled Li Weilan --- she could see that the blade penetrated extremely deep into the tree. Although the tree didn't directly GG, it was already dying. She could even see the milky white sap flowing out slowly, and Shen Cheng could hear the sound of the tree. After thinking about it, she finally shouted to Li Weilan to stop. Enemies who have lost their resistance can fight again later, and it will not be too late to hear what she has to say.
Li Weilan couldn't hear or understand what the tree said.
Li Weilan looked back at her suspiciously, until Shen Cheng nodded with certainty, then he narrowed his eyes slightly, and put the knife back into its sheath.
He heard Shen Cheng's voice, this time, she spoke in a mysterious language similar to a spell: "What are you?"
The tree trembled slightly.
The leaves made a rattling sound: "I'm just a tree."
"Then what about those cocoons? What's inside the cocoons?" Shen Cheng looked at the huge cocoons one after another. Although the membrane looked a bit thick, she could still see humanoid creatures sleeping one by one in those cocoons.
And as the tree withered, the light inside these cocoons also weakened.
She suspects that this tree has absorbed the vitality of these people, so that it can grow so well and flourish in this kind of place!
Otherwise, it cannot carry out photosynthesis in the dark underground, where does the nutrient come from
This is also the reason why Shen Cheng didn't directly follow Li Weilan to kill the tree --- not only because she was a druid who was naturally close to nature and loved natural plants, but when the plant in front of her was clearly hostile to humans and even threatened her. When the living space of human beings is in the wasteland, even if she is a true saint, she will never feel that the life of plants is more important than that of humans. What she thought was, are the people in these cocoons still alive? Or, can it come out alive
Shu bluntly replied: "It's a human being."
Shen Cheng's heart sank for a moment: "Why did you attack us?"
"You smell nice..." said the tree slowly, "but it's gone. Not anymore."
It was spiritual spring water, Shen Cheng immediately realized it.
It can smell the spirit spring water even through the space
What is the origin of this tree
"Then why did you kill?"
If you grab water, you grab water, why kill people
"It's not me!" The tree's voice was very aggrieved, "I didn't kill anyone!"
Shen Cheng translated the words of the tree to Li Weilan, and his face suddenly changed when he heard this: This tree's self-protection ability is very strong, and its hallucinogenic and confusing abilities are also very strong, but he discovered it just now, it seems that the aggressiveness is not Not strong.
If it wasn't the tree that killed the person, how did the bodyguard die
Not good!
He immediately realized that if the snipe and the clam were fighting for the fisherman's profit, there would be people following them to kill! Tang Lv's safety is worrying. The tree stunned the group of people, but someone else did the killing!
Someone wanted the power of this tree, so they told it that there was spiritual spring water around them, and the tree greedily wanted to advance, and it really came.
But it didn't kill, the thing that followed it killed someone, but then hid and they didn't see it.
How would that person know that they have spiritual spring water
Unless, that person was not talking about them, but... Tang Lv!
Bai Su and Tang Lu are lovers, if that person knows that Bai Su has spiritual spring water, he will think that Bai Su might leave some for Tang Lu.
But by mistake, after Shu found them, he found that Li Weilan had the smell of a spiritual spring, so he only chased them.
"What are these cocoons for?" Shen Cheng asked forcefully.
"I helped others raise it." The tree replied, "It's the seeds."
Shen Cheng approached and took a look, his face turned livid: the women lying in cocoons on the tree's body, all of them had huge bellies in their arms! Their sleep is not peaceful, but full of pain, distortion and struggle.
"You're lying," Shen Cheng said directly, "Who asked you to raise them? If you are really as important as you say, will that person let you stay alone in such a dark underground?"
"It's not like this..." The tree trembled aggrievedly, and it slowly wriggled the bark, revealing the tissues inside. And for a tree, removing the bark so that the trunk can be seen is as painful as opening one's own wound to show others the flesh and bones inside.
Shen Cheng saw something deeply embedded in the tree at a glance---a purely artificial thing lying deep in the trunk like a spider, exuding blue light, like a heart.
That thing was still beating vigorously, and it really looked like a human heart.
The tree is not lying, someone is really controlling it through this!
That heart is extremely strange at first glance, as if it is the source of power for the whole tree.
And that heart is emitting a kind of radiation effect continuously, the moment Shen Cheng was affected by it, she felt her previous feeling of blushing, heartbeat, dizziness and weakness: now she is sure, this is a It has an effect similar to that of a hormone potion, but it should only work on plants!
The reason why she is affected is precisely because she has a natural ability to empathize with plants.
Shen Cheng turned her head and glanced at Li Weilan, her eyes were full of bewilderment: What should I do? What are we going to do with the tree? What to do with those sleeping in cocoons
