Chapter 220 Rawala Man-eating Jungle
Ravala, the largest island in the Urawara Islands, is still densely covered with jungle. For the indigenous people living outside, it is still an undeveloped mysterious area. It is said that 90% of the natural flora growing here cannot be seen in other parts of the continent.
It is an unknown jungle, and the indigenous people dare not go in at all. Zhou Xirui heard from the locals that there are many man-eating monsters in it, and even trees can eat people, which aroused the curiosity of the group and decided to go to see what mysterious creatures are in it.
All dangers may lurk in it. People hold machetes and hire several local cave natives, the Coraros, as guides, to enter the depths of the jungle.
Although these natives have never gone deep into the hinterland, Zhou Xirui felt much relieved that they knew about the poisonous animals and plants in the jungle and walked with the natives.
When they arrived at an open land, Zhou Xirui and others suddenly stopped. The scene in front of them was unprecedented by the natives present: there were thick leaves on an eight-meter-high pineapple-shaped trunk, leaves hanging from the top of the tree to the ground, and ten meters of tendrils stretched in all directions
Zhou Xirui and others felt very familiar when they looked at the plant. Xiaopei exclaimed, "The cannibal tree!" Everyone suddenly remembered the cannibal tree sacrifice they experienced in the Lao jungle. Everyone quickly greeted the natives and shouted away from the plant.
At this time, Zhou Xirui and others noticed that the locals began to become very excited. They pushed an old and weak man to the big tree. Zhou Xirui quickly stopped their ridiculous move, but the person who was pushed said that he was voluntary. He was terminally ill. Legend has it that if he is eaten by this plant, the disease can be taken away, and the people in the clan will no longer be troubled by the disease.
"You are superstitious!" Xiaopei hurriedly persuaded a good person, why should he believe in those messy legends and die by himself? "Yes!" Everyone also persuaded, but the indigenous people did not persuade, but looked forward to watching the people who were going to die.
Xiaopei looked at those people angrily and was so cruel to his people for his own benefit. The man who was going to sacrifice did not listen to people's advice and went straight up.
The indigenous people began to kneel down and pray. After the man walked over and drank a very strange ** that oozed from the cannibal tree, he became "very crazy and began to shout hysteria. The prayers continued. The originally lazy and cruel cannibal tree suddenly regained its wild vitality. .
The tendril stretched out quickly like a snake, tightening the man's neck and body, making him unable to breathe. The native man's cry became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.
At this time, the leaves wrapped him layer by layer until there was no gap left. After a while, under the tree, they saw a pile of white bones spitting out by the tendril. The corrosiveness was so shocking that everyone was frightened and hid far away.
Zhou Xirui simply punched the tree and made it burn. Its corrosion secretions were high in grease, which accelerated the fire and burned out quickly. Then everyone was relieved.
Zhou Xirui looked back and found that the indigenous people looked at him in surprise. He was a little embarrassed. He turned around and called everyone to get ready to go out and get out of the hinterland as soon as possible.
As they go in, there are more and more huge plants around them. The one they see the most is called the cabbage, which has large round leaves and is two meters high.
Just as they wanted to stop and take a good look, a group of strange insects attacked them. A huge dragonfly like an airplane flew down with two lantern-sized eyes. With the chaotic bombardment of Zhou Xirui and Liu Peng, the body of the dragonfly fell down one after another.
But there was still a omission. An indigenous man screamed and was caught by a dragonfly and flew up to the leaves of a cabbage and stopped there. It bit off the indigenous head and immediately came out like a spring of blood and drenched on the grass. The scene was quite bloody, and everyone was shocked to see it. The insect was so huge that it was more horrible than the monster.
The dragonfly wanted to fly away with the body, but it shook its wings a few times and couldn't move. The mucus secreted by the grass vegetable quickly glued it, and then each tentacle began to bend towards the dragonfly, surrounding it so that the mucus made it stick more firmly.
Then Maocai began to use digestive juice to decompose the bodies of dragonflies and natives, which closed the leaves like a green coffin.
In a few minutes, the green "coffin" will open again, throwing the indigestible remains of dragonflies and corpses to the ground. Everyone is extremely cold when they see this scene. How many such terrible creatures are there in the jungle?
After walking for another two hours in the depths of the jungle, Zhou Xirui and Liu Peng opened the way for everyone with machetes in front of them, reminding everyone not to get too close to the plants around them from time to time.
After pulling away the dense plants, they finally came to a big lake. The lake was strange, not clear at all, dark, and something was surging under the water.
