Chapter 130 Dark Forest
The circus owner rushed out of the tent angrily and shouted while chasing. Zhou Xirui and others saw many giants chasing them with their teeth and claws and rushed out of the city gate in panic. The giants behind them shouted loudly and chased after them. The deafening shouts made several people feel nervous and almost collapsed.
A dark forest appeared in front of them. They rushed in without hesitation, and after running crazy for a while, strangely, the shouts of the giant behind disappeared. They stopped. Did the giants give up? When they stopped, they found that they were lost. They were surrounded by dark forests and could not find a way out.
"Little things, look at me!" Acuo didn't mind and said easily. He climbed up as quickly as a monkey. At such a speed, he could run to the top of the tree in less than two minutes, but strangely, more than 20 minutes passed, and Acuo was still climbing up, and gradually his physical strength was a little weak.
Everyone saw that it was a little strange, "Come down quickly, Acuo, I'm afraid you will never climb up like this?" Zhou Xirui roared at him anxiously. Acuo was really tired. He slid to the ground along the tree pole, sat down, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in frustration, "What the hell strange tree? Why can't I always climb to the top?"
"This forest is a little strange. The giants outside didn't chase me. It seems that they knew that something was wrong inside." Zhong Yueming remembered why the giants didn't chase in and analyzed carefully. What's wrong?" Liu Peng was a little scared. The most powerless of several people was himself and Dimo, but Dimo could stay in Acuo's backpack to be protected, and he had to face it alone, so he was inevitably a little frightened.
I don't know when the dark forest was surrounded by red light, as if many eyes were staring at them, which reminded them of the dog ghost in the tile village, an invisible horrible spirit.
Zhong Yueming took out a bamboo stick and threw it at the bright light. Immediately, a sharp scream broke the silence of the forest, and then there was a sound of wings flapping. Zhou Xirui shone with a flashlight. It turned out to be a group of palm-sized bats, and everyone was relieved.
Suddenly, Zhou Xirui felt that a shadow was pressing on him. He immediately turned around and took a flashlight to shine. The big tree behind him was rushing at him with its teeth and claws. When he took the flashlight, it did not move. Looking around, these big trees seem to be conscious creatures, ready to move.
"Are these trees the tree monsters that sailors say?" Zhong Yueming said to these trees with a flashlight. "I used to go to the bars where sailors gathered and like to listen to some overseas strange things. Among them, there is a strange tree that eats people in the dark. The wizard said that these trees are the tentacles of the devil and likes to eat fresh food most. The raw human flesh. However, this kind of tree has a weakness. They are afraid of light. As long as they are illuminated by the light, they can only maintain the shape of the tree and cannot move.
"So that's it. Isn't it terrible? Let's turn on the flashlight. We have to get out of this dark forest before the flashlight goes out." Zhou Xirui was relieved and encouraged everyone to speed up.
But things are not as smooth as expected. These trees are staggered and blocking the road. And these branches and leaves cover the forest tightly, and there is no light that can penetrate. They have been unable to walk out of the forest for a long time. The light of the flashlight is getting weaker and weaker, the trees around them are becoming more and more restless, and the hearts of several people are becoming more and more nervous.
"I'm angry, and I ordered this forest," A Cuo was forced to say harsh words, "If you order it, we will become barbecuers," Liu Peng said. Atso is right!" Zhong Yueming suddenly said.
"What?" Several people looked at Zhong Yueming puzzledly. I don't know why this guy also followed Acuo's simple mind. This forest is full of dead trees and leaves, just a little bit, and this is an island. The wind is very strong. I'm afraid the whole forest will burn in an instant by the wind. How can they run through the fire? Isn't that looking for death?
"Ha ha, I'm not saying that we are going to light the forest, we can light the torch!" Zhong Yueming said, and everyone was immediately enlightened. Why didn't they think that the flashlight could be illuminated? Why didn't they think of putting on a few torches?
Acuo cut down a few thick branches and cut them into two halves. After lighting the fire, each person took two. Sure enough, the tree monsters in the forest were much more honest and seemed to be afraid of the fire.
Suddenly, something in the bushes under the tree was running, attracting everyone's attention. Dimo curiously jumped out of his backpack, took a flashlight and lay down to take a picture. He found that there were many strange little things inside looking at him in horror.
These small things are only palm-sized, with heads and feet, many branches on their heads, and their hands are like branches of shrubs. They have double round eyes, and their skin can simulate the color of the surrounding scenery like a chameleon.
"This is amazing. Is this a dwarf or an elf?" Zhong Yueming also saw these little things huddled together one by one, and these little monsters were dense under these shrubs.
Acuo looked curiously and reached out to drag one of them. The little monster let out a sad scream and took a fierce bite on Acuo's hand. He was so angry that he immediately let go of his hand and picked up his hand. Two deep tooth marks had bitten the skin and the blood oozed out.
"Haha, you are a bitch. You have to touch everything. You know it's awesome!" Zhou Xirui made fun of him while pasting him with a Band-Aid. "Damn, burn these little monsters to death," Acuo said viciously. Forget it, you attack it first, or it won't have a chance to bite you!" Zhou Xirui advised. I don't want to hurt it, I just want to see what this strange thing is," Azso muttered.
After two hours with a torch, they finally went out of the forest. Everyone saw the sun again and suddenly felt very comfortable. Out of the forest, they found that they came to a large desolate place, a dormant active volcano far away, surrounded by dense forests.
They decided to go and have a look. When they walked in the woods, they found that wild goats were everywhere. It seemed that this species was very suitable for living in this wilderness, but at the same time, they also found that there were many bones of wild goats on the ground, and they were eaten by some animals.
After several people looked around, they found no trace of the beast. What's going on? It took them an hour to climb the crater and look down. It seemed that some green fluorescence could be faintly seen in the dark hole of the volcano, and they didn't know what it was. Zhong Yueming guessed, "That may be some gems or some special minerals."
As the fluorescence was approaching, it gradually became clear. Everyone was shocked. These are lizards more than two meters long. The green fluorescence just now is its eyes. These bloodthirsty reptiles have smelled the smell of food and rushed up.
At a glance, there are at least hundreds of lizards, and everyone thinks it is more reliable to escape. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer, everyone accelerated their speed. When they ran to the woods, Zhou Xirui roared, "Let's climb up the tree!" Several people quickly climbed to the higher branch and sat down. Hundreds of lizards rushed under the tree and all heard the sound.
They searched for a while, seemed to feel that their prey had disappeared, and slowly shifted their interest to the wild goats. They lurked in the grass, waiting for the wild goat to approach, bite it, and then loosen their mouth. The wild goat was immediately poisoned and kept twitching on the ground.
It turned out that there was a pipe in its teeth, which connected the poisonous glands that could secrete venom. After the prey was poisoned and fell, it went up and ate the prey calmly.
Liu Peng said that this is also the result of natural selection. The goats here have no natural enemies, and the breeding of offspring will be relatively fast, which is bound to affect the growth of vegetation here. The rapid evolution of reptiles is also due to the abundance of food and no competitors, so it has formed an animal pattern different from other continents.
