Facing the scene in front of him, Sheyan took a deep breath.
"It's really true... Mbenga, you actually know the top secret of the Dubaiya family!! So your real identity is... I hope I guessed wrong, otherwise, could it be that there is no end between us?" Will there be a fight?"
In this short period of time, the swarms of the big black ants finally played an obvious role. The poisonous gas in the cave was finally neutralized, and they poured in like a black torrent. The target was not the sun altar in the middle, but The plants around the altar are already in flower.
These ants began to climb the stems of these plants, and then crushed the flowers with their sharp mouthparts, and carried them back to their nests. Only after obtaining these flowers, could their queens give birth to young queens again and thus To group. Simply put, these flowers are the only cure for ants' infertility and colonization. No wonder they come here to snatch it.
Fang Sheyan found that these ants were not disinterested in the solar staircase in the flower terrace, but the water channel surrounding the flower terrace was like a natural moat to them. Once an ant falls into it, it will be immediately corroded by the mysterious liquid.
Now that the poison inside had been cleaned up, Sheyan took a deep breath, he couldn't wait any longer, and didn't dare to wait any longer, because time was mercilessly passing by. And how much time Mbenga can delay outside is completely unclear. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the necessary risks must be taken.
He stepped directly onto the white skeleton path, and the feeling from his feet was that those skulls were actually slightly elastic, and he didn't know what method was used to keep these skeletons that had gone through thousands of years still intact. Looking at the fresh and moist state after the skin and flesh have just been peeled off.
Once Fang Senyan took action, he strode towards the sun altar in the middle without hesitation. The bright sunlight shot down from the top, clear and bright, and even the dust floating in the air could be seen.
The colorful leaves of the Sun Stairway sway slightly in the wind, and they are slightly transparent. You can even see its veins are as clear as human blood vessels, and it seems that there is a liquid full of nutrients flowing in the pipeline.
Fang Senyan took a deep breath, Mbenga's drunken warning from last night flowed in his mind again:
When picking the sun ladder, you can only pick the withered leaves, and you must move quickly to avoid touching the rest of the branches and leaves, otherwise it will cause other unknowable consequences.
But at this moment, Fang Senyan saw a group of light blue stone corners suddenly appearing in the soil in the middle of the flower bed. The texture and luster of this "stone" is very strange, it doesn't look like something that should exist on the earth at all! His heart moved, he observed carefully, and then unexpectedly found several similar light blue "stone" fragments on the surrounding cave walls!
Suddenly, such a scene appeared in front of Sheyan's eyes. Thousands or tens of thousands of years ago, a meteor streaked across the sky of the African continent. This meteor was about to burn up in the atmosphere, and then disintegrated and scattered before falling to the ground. , spread out, and when the debris fell one after another, it successfully smashed the roof of a cave hidden in the ground, and opened multiple "skylights" of different sizes for the originally closed cave. This is the cave. The top shows the reason for such bizarre topography.
And after the meteor disintegrated, the largest piece of fragment broke through the roof of the cave and fell into the cave of the "Altar of the Sun" at this time. Perhaps it was because the meteorite had a radiation band that had never been seen on the earth, and it was alienated. Local plants, or perhaps the core of the meteorite, harbored the seeds of life. Coupled with the special environment and suitable light, heat, and water, a plant that has never appeared on the earth has multiplied here... But because the environment for its growth is extremely harsh, it cannot reproduce in large numbers.
Many years later, a small tribe named Dubai discovered this place by chance. After a long period of exploration, they discovered a way to control the energy in this plant, and then became a huge empire... They thought that this plant Hidden inside is the power bestowed by the sun god. Obtaining that power can lead to the path to the sun god, so it is named the sun ladder.
At this time, Sheyan discovered that next to the main root of this "Sun Ladder", there are actually several independent young plants! The branches and leaves of the Sun Stairway above it are even more strangely showing the shape of a womb. Presumably, the Sun Stairway also needs to reproduce and give birth to the next generation, and it is still born in a viviparous way!
However, the most shocking thing is that most of these young plants withered and died. The cause of death turned out to be that their mothers spread a few tentacle-like root systems from the stems next to them, strangling them tightly. Stop them!
What a cruel and intelligent plant it is! !
It must have felt that the environment here, nutrition, and water can only supply its own growth. If its own seedlings multiply, then it must snatch the limited living resources suitable for their growth, and the mother plant must die! So although this kind of plant reproduces based on instinct, in fact, it even kills its own offspring to protect its right to survive! How indifferent and cruel this is!
Seeing such a scene, Fang Senyan's heart skipped a beat, but he saw the biggest and strongest seedling! Although this seedling is tightly entangled by the roots of the mother, even though its brothers and sisters have all withered and withered, it is still stubbornly resisting, using its branches to tenaciously support its own lifeline, Such tenacity and stubbornness made Fang Senyan's heart skip a beat, and he immediately shot without hesitation.
Of course, the contractor's personal ability beyond ordinary people cannot be compared by ordinary people. Fang Sheyan directly pulled off the fibrous root that entangled the seedling with his backhand. After he pulled it, he found that the fibrous root was actually saying no. The tenacity shown was like being pulled on a wire. But Fang Senyan broke the fibrous root as soon as he exerted his force, and a light yellow liquid sprayed out from the section of the fibrous root, which looked like the blood spurting out after a human arm was cut off.
After pulling off the fibrous root, Sheyan's palm suddenly inserted into the soft and moist soil, and dug out the living seedling growing in the soil without any damage, and threw it into the team space without any damage. In the middle, Fang Sheyan grabbed the light blue meteorite fragment the size of a fist, and then turned around and fled!
Fang Senyan's series of actions may sound complicated, but they are done in one go! Probably less than two seconds were wasted.
And the mother body of the Sun Staircase felt that its tentacles were torn off, and immediately fell into a state of rage. The thick stem trembled, and the soil flew around. ! Fang Sheyan had done all the bad things at this time, he didn't dare to resist the attack of this thing, and hurriedly rolled and fled on the spot. A thought quickly flashed through his mind:
"Should I take the Sun Ladder right away? No! Of course not! I have no interest in becoming a licker or a mutant adult."
…
But when Sheyan ran out of the cave of the Sun Altar full of joy, his pupils constricted suddenly. The rage of the Sun Staircase Matrix obviously triggered some mechanism! On Sheyan's left, a dusty stone door opened tremblingly! Inside, there was a bony, rickety, damp and withered figure trembling for a moment, then slowly stood up! The dust on its body kept rolling down, and it looked like it had been accumulated for at least hundreds of years.
Sheyan took a deep breath.
He knew that this was the final test that he would face if he didn't listen to Mbenga and played whatever he wanted.
The withered figure came out slowly like a robot, its gray hair, ragged coat, and hunched body could be vaguely seen. In the sun, the guy's upper and lower gums were exposed, yellow teeth, Dry and blackened gums, but the dry and hard muscles stretched on the bones can be seen barely contracting, maintaining its marching strength.
Obviously, this is an infected mature body that Sheyan had encountered before, but for some unknown reason, the Buriya people actually let it serve as the last line of defense!
"Ah~~~~~~~~~"
The withered figure actually let out a long sigh. The muscles on Sheyan's face couldn't help but twitch again! ! This is the first time he has encountered a talking infected mature body! This imperceptibly means that this guy should have a certain amount of wisdom... This also means that Sheyan must face a tough battle! A life-and-death struggle! !
"How many years have I not seen the sun? One hundred years, two hundred years? How much I yearn for the warmth of the sun in the endless darkness!"
This guy actually raised his hand and yelled. It can be seen that after it made this action, the dregs and tattered clothes on its body were falling down, and even the exposed spine was rattling. At this moment, it suddenly turned its head to look at Sheyan, greedily and hungrily let out a hysterical roar:
"But! I'm more eager for the rich flesh and blood, the steaming intestines, the still beating heart, the sweetness of the blood splattering after one bite!"
