Chapter 159 The Tree of Life
"It's almost there. After walking a while after this stream, it's the forbidden area. That small hill is the dividing line of the forbidden area. Chen Lei pointed to the looming hill not far ahead and said excitedly.
"Be careful! Don't put your hand into the water. These colorful fish are also a kind of monster. Their teeth are extremely sharp, and once the creatures enter the water, they will attack them in groups. Under their bite, a cow will be eaten by them for less than a column of incense. Seeing that Nia and other girls wanted to reach out to get the colorful fish in the water, Chen Lei quickly stopped it.
Nia is most anxious and has already reached out to catch small fish. Hearing Chen Lei's reminder, she was still a little suspicious. The beautiful and docile fish in the stream showed its fierce side at this time. The two small fish tails suddenly swung, jumped up half a foot high from the water, opened the small mouth full of fine teeth, and bit Nia's hand fiercely.
Ling Hao has been reminded and has been careful for a long time. Seeing the little fish jumping out of the water, he pointed out to them without mercy.
There were two muffled noises, and two fingers opened two small holes in them, and the light blue blood splashed on the stream.
In an instant, the whole stream boiled up, and the little fish that didn't know where they were hiding smelled the smell of blood.
With two "plops", the bodies of the two colorful fish fell into the stream, and their companions surrounded them crazily and launched a fierce attack. Some small fish were injured in the process of eating, and the blood flowed into the stream. After a while, it also became a delicacy for fish.
Seeing these little fish fighting for the bodies of their companions like crazy, the women on the shore couldn't help but be shocked.
"They are so cruel that even their companions eat it." Liya couldn't bear to see this bloody scene and couldn't help turning her head. The other women also looked unbearable.
The law of the jungle, this is their survival rule. In order to get food, they often kill their companions to share food. Chen Lei explained lightly.
"In fact, aren't we human beings the same? Take the robbers annihilated by us as an example, they are also eating the flesh and blood of their companions. The civilians who were persecuted to death by them are like the other small fish. Ling Hao sighed.
After eating their companions, the fish swam nearby for a moment and then dispersed. For a while, the stream returned to tranquility again. If it hadn't been for the clear bottom of the stream with a few fish bones, it would not have seen that such a cruel thing had happened here.
"Let's go. Let's cross the stream carefully." Ling Hao said.
Suddenly, he felt that the breath behind him was suddenly approaching, and a once-and-for-all way appeared in Ling Hao's heart.
Ling Hao greeted Han Yue and said a few words in her ear. Han Yue first shook her head and resolutely disagreed with Ling Hao's proposal, but in the end, she couldn't help persuading Ling Hao, and finally nodded and agreed.
"Be careful yourself." The cold moon still told uneasily before crossing the stream.
"Are you still worried about my strength?" Ling Hao didn't care.
After the cold moon passed the stream, it entered a shadowless state and disappeared into the air. Although everyone was curious, no one asked, because they knew that if Ling Hao wanted them to know, he would naturally tell them.
One by one passed the stream, and now only Ling Hao and Chen Lei are left here.
"You go there first, and I'll be the last one." Ling Hao asked Chen Lei to cross the stream first.
Seeing Chen Lei crossing the stream safely, Ling Hao couldn't help but be suspicious. Is your own judgment wrong? Or does it actually target itself? Thinking of this, a sneer appeared at the corners of Ling Hao's mouth.
Ling Hao jumped, and the man had reached the middle of the stream. Suddenly, two vines were shot from the back forest, and Ling Hao's feet were wrapped around like lightning.
Before Ling Hao could react, the vines suddenly recovered. Even people with such strength as Ling Hao were pulled out of balance by it and plunged into the stream.
In the exclamation of everyone, Ling Hao's upper body touched the water and left the water. He inserted the bottom of the stream fiercely with one hand, so that he would not be dragged away by the vines.
At the moment when Ling Hao touched the water, tens of thousands of colorful fish that were shocked went out again. This time, they went straight to Ling Hao's arm immersed in the water.
"Drink!" Ling Hao shouted loudly, and the other palm hit the water vigorously.
"Boom!" In a loud noise, the colorful small fish were splashed everywhere, falling in the water and the small fish on the shore were everywhere. Even the small fish that was still in place was stunned and could not recover for a while.
With this palm, Ling Hao suddenly rotated like a top. The two vines wrapped around his feet were also twisted together like twists.
stopped rotating, and Ling Haoren stood firmly on the shore. He secretly used a "thousand catties of pendant", and his feet were like roots. He was still pulled by the vines, and he was still unmoved.
"Cold moon! It's your turn to take action." Ling Hao suddenly said in his voice.
"Good." Han Yue's figure appeared more than ten steps in front of Ling Hao, holding a long sword in his hand and stabbing the twisted vines fiercely.
There were two rapid strange screams in the direction of the "squeak" vine, and the monster wanted to take back the vine in pain.
"Do you just want to take it back now? It's late." Ling Hao said coldly. He quickly pulled out his long sword and nailed the vines to the ground with Han Yue's sword, which could not be taken back.
Seeing Ling Hao get out of his predicament in an orderly manner, and the cold moon that had already passed the stream appeared on the other side again, everyone knew that this was a trap set by Ling Hao, in order to attract the human-loving flower that had always been covetous.
"How long do you have to hide? Come out for me." Ling Hao pulled two vines and pulled them with all his strength.
The killer hidden in the dark revealed its true face. What was pulled out by Ling Hao was a small tree three meters high and hugged by one person, with a human face and "hands and feet" on the tree. There is a strange red flower on its head, and a drop of bright red ** is dripping to the ground from the gap of the petals.
The true face of the murderer is surprising. On the whole, the face on the tree looks amiable. No one can imagine that it is the cruel murderer.
Just as Ling Hao and others were stunned, a dark green juice shot out of the red flower, targeting Ling Hao and Han Yue.
Ling Hao's mind moved, and two ice shields stood in front of the two people.
Although the two-sided ice shield block the dark green juice, the ice shield is "sizzling" under the erosion of the juice, and the thickness of the ice shield is also shrinking.
In a blink of an eye, the ice shield showed a non-supporting performance, and a crack appeared on the shield surface. Seeing this, Ling Hao quickly added two more ice shields.
The venom was blocked by Ling Hao, and the strange tree suddenly recovered the vines. Two crisp sounds, and the vines folded in response. The recovered vines generally hang on both sides if the person's hands are fractured.
"What kind of monster is this?" Ling Hao has never heard of this plant.
"I'm not sure now. At the beginning, I heard from the local civilians that a strange tree suddenly appeared in this forest recently. I always thought it was the legendary tree, but I didn't expect it to be this strange thing. However, it is the one who attacked us and killed my brother. Chen Lei felt a pain when he saw a piece of cloth exposed from the red flowers.
"Since this is the case, then destroy him so as not to harm others again." Ling Hao pulled out his sword and wanted to come forward, but the changes in front of him made people stunned.
Two long vines suddenly wrapped tightly around the tree, and the vines suddenly plunged into the tree.
The vines are sucking something like a straw. The vine wound oozed out of the lake green juice, and then the scars miraculously healed.
In the process of recovery, the face on the tree showed a color of pain, and the cracks on the trunk became more and more obvious, as if a person were rapidly aging.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood what was going on. The strange tree in front of them turned out to be two independent individuals. The bright red flower should be the legendary cannibal flower, but the tree man parasitized by it does not know what kind of plant it is.
Ling Hao and other people attacked, and the cannibal flowers and vines that recovered as before seemed to be more flexible. Like a spiritual snake, it deliberately avoids everyone's weapons, picks the position without armor protection, and adds venom to the attack. For a while, everyone can't do anything about it.
"It's so abominable. No matter how he attacked it, he refused to leave the tree man. Situ Yinghao scolded hatefully. After several waves of tentative attacks were ineffective, Ling Hao and others found that the man-eating flower insisted that the green mountain would not let go, but refused to leave the tree man. Whenever the vine was injured, it extracted energy from the tree man to repair it. If it goes on like this, the tree man will definitely die before the cannibal flowers.
"Don't worry about the tree people. It works for the tiger and kills a lot of lives for cannibals. Even if it is destroyed together, there is nothing pitiful. Goras gradually felt a little impatient and proposed to kill them together.
"This is not good. The tree man is also forced. How pitiful it is. Liya is full of sympathy again.
"What should I do? The cannibal flower refused to leave the tree man and told us how to kill it. Golas said helplessly.
"Why don't you ask Rou'er and Lin'er?" Alyssa suddenly thought of Ling Hao's two contract elves.
"Yes! Didn't you say that there are tree people in the family of Rou'er and Lin'er? Maybe they can communicate with the tree people. Liya was overjoyed when she heard the words.
Ling Hao quickly got in touch with the two elves who were hidden in his body.
"Brother, why do you think of me and my sister now? It's so boring for us to practice. As soon as Lin'er came out, she leaned on Ling Hao's shoulder and acted coquettishly.
"Big brother, what's the matter with calling us out in such a hurry?" Rou'er was still devoting her mind to practice, but she hurried out because she heard Ling Hao's call.
"There is a difficult thing now. I want to ask if you have any solutions." Ling Hao said that he was surrounded by cannibal flowers and tree people by everyone.
Rou'er and Lin'er looked in the direction of Ling Hao's fingers and were suddenly surprised.
"Tree of Life!"
The two sisters exclaimed, and obviously they recognized the type of tree man.
"What did you say? Is that tree man the tree of life? Is it a tree man of the same kind as the ancient tree of life?" Valia couldn't help but be surprised to hear the exclamation of the two sisters. The almost extinct tree man of life actually appeared in this forest.
"That's right. The tree is so young to walk away from the soil. Only the tree of life can do it." Rou'er said affirmatively.
"Moreover, cannibal flowers can only be advanced if they are parasitic on the tree of life." Lin'er added.
"Do you have any way to separate them? Under such circumstances, we can't destroy man-eating flowers without hurting tree people. Valia asked.
After knowing the origin of the tree man, even Golas no longer proposed to give up the tree man.
