After thinking about this, the female nurse felt that her heart was beating uncontrollably, her palms were sweating, and her voice trembled with nervousness:
"Me, shall we go?"
she suggested.
Beiquan smiled.
Then I chose a place with sparse roots, and sat down on the spot: "Don't worry."
He waved to Wei Fuyuan and patted the open space beside him, "Come on, let's rest for a while."
Female nurse: "!!"
Jiang Nan'an and Luo Yun: "???"
It was really hard for them to understand how Beiquan could be so calm after the nervous announcement just now.
Wei Fuyuan didn't ask anything, and sat directly beside Beiquan.
"Come on, Xiao Jiang also sit down and talk."
Beiquan patted the ground on the other side again, "Anyway, that Lolita said just now that there is no time limit for 'climbing the tower', so why don't we take this opportunity to have a good rest? Just recharge your batteries!"
Jiang Nan'an felt that Beiquan was right, so he stopped struggling and sat down to rest.
Sister Nurse and Luo Yun looked at each other with a blank expression.
But neither of these two had the courage and strength to act alone, so naturally they hugged the big guys' thighs tightly and didn't dare to say anything more.
When they approached, Beiquan also specially reminded them that it is best to sit against the wall, so that if any monster suddenly appears, they don't have to worry about being attacked from behind.
So the female nurse and Luo Yun could only stick to the outside of Jiang Nan'an and Wei Fuyuan tremblingly, sitting nervously upright like two fluffy chicks, not daring to move at all. .
Beiquan motioned to Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan'an to take out the supplies they got along the way and start drinking water and eating cakes.
After consciously resting enough, Beiquan Shi Shiran took out the remaining half of the gauze, cut his fingers, and began to write talismans on the gauze.
It was the first time the nurse and Luo Yun saw Beiquan's talisman skills, and they were quite surprised.
"You... a Taoist priest?"
From her point of view, even with her head hooked, she can only see the outline. As for what was written on the rune, she couldn't see clearly.
Of course, even if the written spell was placed directly in front of her, Sister Nurse would definitely not understand it.
"Um."
Beiquan smiled again, and answered in a perfunctory manner: "That's right."
The female nurse asked again tentatively:
"Then... what are you writing now?"
Beiquan replied, "Be prepared for some spells that may be useful."
When they dealt with the spiders in the corridor just now, the nurse got up on her own, and naturally she didn't see the heroic appearance of the talisman written by Beiquan with gauze to burn the spiders.
If it was just based on her brain, she could only imagine scenes like those in the ancient Hong Kong horror movies - such as sticking a talisman on the forehead of a zombie or something.
Sister Nurse's lips parted twice, and she wanted to continue to ask, but she was a little timid, and finally closed her mouth resentfully.
On the other hand, Luo Yun was also very curious about Beiquan's talisman painting process.
However, Wei Fuyuan was tall and caring for Beiquan.
He has been staring sideways at his lover's every move, and will diligently help the other party clean up those written talismans, which is simply a model of twenty-four filial piety.
Luo Yun's physique was already weak, and Wei Fuyuan's broad shoulders and broad back almost completely blocked his sight. He stretched his head and looked for a while, but he could only see the white edge of the gauze.
Beiquan let out a long sigh of relief until most of the gauze was completely consumed.
"Almost, let's go."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the big tree in the center of the Dengxian Pagoda.
Others quickly followed.
Judging from the shape of the tree alone, the root system of this tree is very developed, and the part that is exposed to the ground is seven or eight stories high.
In addition to the huge and somewhat terrifying root system, the tree also hangs down many whisker-like aerial roots, the short ones are only palm-length long, and the longer ones are dragged from the crown to the ground, reaching a height of ten stories.
They hang down like curtains and block the view very easily.
Beiquan and others chose to climb due east.
In fact, every place looks the same, but Beiquan insists that this is the result of his calculations - the east is where the Shengmen is located, and the safety factor is relatively high.
Of course, Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan'an would not raise any objections, while Sister Nurse and Luo Yun followed completely without thinking.
Before climbing, they also decided on the order.
As the role of MT in the team, Jiang Nan'an naturally took the lead.
As for the second, it is a female nurse.
This is what the girl asked for herself.
She was afraid that if she fell behind, even if she activated the ability to teleport, she might not be able to grab the first place in the end, so she offered to take the second place.
Sister nurse's request was abrupt, and in a hurry, she couldn't think of a perfect reason.
After speaking, she couldn't help feeling remorse, worried that her intentions would be noticed by others.
Fortunately, Beiquan, Wei Fuyuan, and Jiang Nan'an were surprisingly easy to talk to, and easily agreed to her request. And Luo Yun is even more of a gentleman. Based on the principle of "ladies first", he also thinks this arrangement is very reasonable.
Next, Luo Yun was the third, followed by Wei Fuyuan, and Beiquan asked for the rear.
After discussing the order, they began to climb the tower.
The first half went surprisingly well.
The surface of the root is hard and rough, and twisted and twisted into various strange shapes. It has its own slope, and the friction force is large when climbing, and there are many places to focus and settle.
Even a nurse sister wearing a long skirt that is inconvenient to move around, or Luo Yun, who is thin and looks rather weak, it is not too difficult to get up. In addition, Jiang Nan'an and Wei Fuyuan would help each other from time to time, and the two of them were able to keep up with the team, and they had already climbed to a height of four stories soon.
Just climbing a tree is physical work after all.
When they were about fifteen meters above the ground, the female nurse and Luo Yun were obviously tired.
"This... can we take a break?"
The girl looked up at the canopy of trees that seemed to have no end in sight, and then looked down at her feet, her feet felt a little weak.
She asked herself that she had no fear of heights. But looking down at a height that is absolutely safe, and looking down in a dangerous situation where you will fall to your death if you slip, are completely different psychological experiences.
Sister Nurse's voice trembled involuntarily, "I, I, I'm a little tired."
She didn't want to make herself look squeamish, but the tiredness of her body was real and could not be ignored.
Luo Yun also leaned back against the tree and nodded in agreement.
"Take a rest for a while..."
He gasped and pleaded, "Just a moment."
So Beiquan and the others stopped, and each found a suitable place to drink water and rest.
After ten minutes of climbing, Jiang Nan'an was still at the top at this time, the female nurse was only half a body height apart from him, Luo Yun was a little further behind, and Beiquan and Wei Fuyuan were still at the bottom.
Sister Nurse has never been good at fighting. After entering Tianyuan City, she has always been in the position of the protected person. Even when she encountered so many dangers and knew that she was about to face a life-and-death crisis, the girl could not remain vigilant after the high-intensity tree-climbing exercise.
She was so tired and exhausted.
So much so that when he was "resting", when he really relaxed his whole body, his head rested on the hard and rough roots, his eyes were half-closed, and he almost fell asleep.
At this moment, the female nurse suddenly felt a faint vibration under her cheek.
If you have to describe it, this feeling is like you are standing against the wall, through one wall, you can feel the chassis running silently when the computer in the next room is running.
The female nurse couldn't even tell for a while, if there was a seemingly non-existent feeling of shock, was it her own illusion, or it really existed, and if it did exist, what meaning did it represent.
But soon, she could no longer ignore this strange shock.
Because it's getting stronger.
Not only the female nurse, but everyone was shocked.
"This, what is this?"
Luo Yun cried out in panic.
The next second, a tree root as thick as an adult's thigh seemed to suddenly come to life, and suddenly moved, like an excessively thick whip, throwing a huge arc in mid-air.
"Oh!!"
The female nurse and Luo Yun couldn't dodge in time, and they were both pushed away by the sudden rioting roots, like two marbles, and flew straight out.
Fortunately, Jiang Nan'an and Wei Fuyuan responded quickly.
Jiang Nan'an jumped, grabbed one of the girl's arms, and then put an upside-down golden hook, and crossed his legs to another tree root.
Wei Fuyuan, on the other hand, was clinging to the long air roots of a group, and came to a big pendulum like the ape-man Taishan, and was able to catch Luo Yun, who had lost his hands.
However, the crisis did not end there.
Beiquan, Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan'an could see the true body of the "tree root" in the light of the burning torches on the four walls.
It is like a huge earthworm, the diameter of its body is as thick as an adult thigh, and its length is at least 30 meters.
The color and texture of its skin are very similar to tree roots, and it has its own mimetic camouflage. If it doesn't move by itself, even if you step on it, you probably won't find it is a living thing.
The only part that distinguishes it from the roots is the worm's head.
Its head is like an inflated round pot, bulging and the diameter is as large as a small washbasin, and it obviously refers to the shape of the "Doomsday Worm" in the classic horror film. It has no structures such as eyes, ears, and nose. About the end of the "mouth", there is a deep hole covered with layers of sharp teeth, as if it could swallow a person's head whole.
It's too late, it's too soon.
Seeing that it missed a hit, the big earthworm made a 180-degree rollover in mid-air, its head turned around suddenly, and attacked Jiang Nan'an and the female nurse who were hanging upside down on the tree.
"Fuck!"
Jiang Nan'an just wanted to go crazy.
Now he is holding the nurse sister with both hands, and he can only rely on his feet to stabilize himself and maintain balance, and he has no hands to deal with this big bug!
However, at this moment, Jiang Nan'an suddenly felt his hands lighten - the female nurse had disappeared out of thin air!
