Chapter 68 Sea Breeze Vine

Yuanxiao chuckled, "We thought you were gone, where did you go just now?"

Wen Mo said, "I went up and looked at it just now, and I can pass through it from the front."

I know that the place we were going to in Wenmo's mouth was where we saw the location of Yanxin yesterday. When the goal was determined, we set off immediately. At this time, we had unexpectedly discovered that in this area, in addition to our team, the second uncle and Yuan An, there was also a force. They were not weak and seemed familiar with the situation here, which made us feel very stressed. In addition, from the information on Yanxin yesterday, they had already posed a relatively large threat to us. Therefore, we must be ahead of them and strive to take the initiative.

Along the way, we were walking completely in the canopy of this huge Bodhi golden-leafed banyan tree.

I don't know that the tree of this super big banyan tree has been around for hundreds of years. It's so magnificent that it's so lush. It's a bit exaggerating to say that it's like walking on flat ground, but the choice of route under our feet is indeed relatively easy. However, due to the lush branches and leaves, we have to often drill and move in the canopy.

However, no matter how big this tree is, it has boundaries, and we finally reached the edge of the canopy of the Bodhi Golden Leaf Banyan Tree.

Wen Mo tied a rope to the trunk of the tree and slid easily. We followed one after another, got down from the tree, returned to the ground, and stood in the water above the knee. The temperature in the morning was relatively low, so I could clearly feel a bit cold in the part below my thighs. I thought that if I stayed in such a place for a long time, I would definitely get old and cold legs.

A few of us wade through the water. The bottom of the water was covered with mud. We stepped on it and were paralyzed. This made me feel very uneasy. The experience of being deeply trapped in the swamp yesterday and almost losing my life still makes me feel scared. The water here is so deep, and the situation below is even more unclear. I am very worried that the tragedy will happen again.

So I asked Wenmo, "Boss, is it safe for us to walk like this? Yesterday I was almost swallowed up by the swamp under my feet."

Wen Mo waved his hand, "No, here is not. Our current location is temporarily blank, with no trees. After walking here, there will be dense trees in front of you, and there will be a large number of tree roots under the water surface, and there will be no mud like low-level swamps."

After hearing what Wenmo said, I felt relieved. However, despite this, we still distanced ourselves from each other so that once one person encounters an accident, the others will not be implicated and will be rescued.

We walked through a water area and entered a forest again. It was different from the single-story forest of Bodhi Golden Leaf Banyan just now, this time it was a real forest.

There are a large number of broad-leaved metasequoia growing here. Unlike the lush banyan tree we lived in just now, the broad-leaved metasequoia here is not very lush, but its trunk is very tall, looking at least more than twenty meters, and its breast diameter is very thick. I can't estimate the specific data, but just for a broad-leaved metasequoia around us, the largest one, even if the four of us hold hands and surround us, we may not be able to hold half of the trunk.

I looked up and saw that among the trunks of the trees, there were many things like vines hanging on the branches, and the vines hung long and drooping into the water. Although there were many such things, I couldn't find where they grew out for a while, and I couldn't help but be curious.

Seeing that I kept looking up and watching, Anaduo asked, "What are you looking at?"

I pointed to the tree, "What are those things? Are the vines? But I can't see where their roots are."

Anadu looked at the tree and smiled, "This kind of thing is called sea breeze vine. It is usually seen in the remote mountains. This plant takes roots from aerial plants, so their growth environment is generally relatively humid, such as here."

After listening to Anaduo's explanation, I nodded, "So that's the case. No wonder I can't find their underground roots."

"However," Anado pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but "tsk" and said, "However, the sea breeze here is different from what I have seen before, although I have only seen it once or twice."

I said, "Actually, this is nothing strange. There are countless species of plants. Maybe this is just a rare variety. Anado frowned slightly and did not speak.

We walked forward a while, this broad-leaved metasequoia forest growing in the swamp has a large area. Standing at our location, we still cannot see the end of the swamp or the woods, but according to Wen Mo, it should not be too far away, and we can only believe it now.

I don't like walking in such a place, especially in this primitive environment. I always imagine that there are various dangers hidden under the water, especially we have indeed encountered them, so I was frightened every step. Although I felt a little embarrassed, I still couldn't help but lean towards the position of Lantern Festival.

I walked forward for a while. As Lantern Festival walked, I suddenly stopped for a while and said to me with a smile: "Damn, brother, don't make trouble."

I looked at him for no reason, "You are sick!"

Yuanxiao didn't say anything and continued to walk forward, but after not taking two steps, he turned to me again and said, "Can you stop making trouble?"

I was a little stunned and stunned, thinking that Lanxiao is hysterical, "Are you talking to me?"

Yuanxiao shook his hand, "Stop talking nonsense!" and then continued to move forward.

I felt something was wrong, so I slightly opened the distance between myself and Yuanxiao. Sure enough, I didn't go much far. Yuanxiao jumped and turned around, "Zhuoran, is it over?"

But when he saw me two meters away from him, he was stunned, he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Are you just now?"

"What is it me?" I looked at Lanxiao in surprise, "Your mind is in water? What's wrong with you?"

Wen Mo and An Naduo also came over. An Naduo looked at us, "What are you two doing?"

Yuanxiao looked at me and said, "When I left just now, I felt that someone was always touching my legs. I thought it was Zhuoran."

I suddenly became anxious, "Lanxiao, are you crazy? Why do I touch your legs if I have nothing to do? I'm not a pervert!"

Anado looked at me and then at Lantern Festival, "Are you an illusion?"

Yuanxiao shook her head repeatedly, "Impossible, impossible! I felt wrong once, I felt wrong twice, but I can't have all been illusions three times."

This time I understood what Lantern Festival said to me three times in a row, "No wonder you kept asking me to stop making trouble. It wasn't the first time I told you, it wasn't me who did it!"

"But I thought you were joking with me!"

Wen Mo, who was standing beside him, asked with a serious expression: "Are you sure there is something in the water just now touching you?"

Yuanxiao nodded nervously. Seeing Wenmo's expression, my heart suddenly rose, "What would you touch you just now?"

Yuanxiao shook her head gently, "I don't know. Could it be a snake?"

After hearing what Yuanxiao said, I was a little nervous. I still had some shadows about the snake. I subconsciously took two steps back, but looking at the water under my feet, I found that doing so was ineffective. I clearly felt that everyone's expressions had changed, and everyone began to become a little nervous.

Anado waved his hand at us, "I don't think there is any need to be a panic, maybe it's just a branch or a wooden stick that sinks into the water."

Although there is indeed a possibility of Anaduosu's situation, I can see from the expression on everyone's face that this explanation did not relieve the tension that was permeating between us at this time.

"Go away!" Wen Mo said, then turned around and continued to walk forward, "Everyone is careful, there may be something in the water."

While walking, we looked at our feet vigilantly, but the underwater silt deposits here, and the waves we brought up turned up the silt and muddled the water. We couldn't see clearly what was happening in the water.

I followed Wenmo and walked in the water for a while. Suddenly, I felt my feet slipping, as if I had stepped on something, and at the same time my trouser legs were hooked.

I was immediately shocked and I held the short knife in my hand tightly. But when I tried it with my feet, I didn't find any problem. I just stepped on a piece of hard thing, like a tree root or branch. I couldn't help but think about it, was it because I was too nervous? I looked at the other people around me, and they were all on guard, but there seemed to be nothing unusual.

So I took a deep breath and prepared to continue moving forward, but just as I was about to step forward, I suddenly felt a tightening on my ankle, and I felt a sudden sensation, and my heart suddenly became sank. I thought to myself that it was not good, and I was about to open my mouth and call for help, but I had only time to shout out the word "save". The thing on my ankle suddenly pulled, and my center of gravity was unstable and I fell down.

With a "slam" sound, I was pulled into the water. I didn't know what, but I wrapped one of my ankles tightly, and I was pulled into the water by it and dragged it quickly.

I felt the Lantern Festival and the others yelled, but my head was completely soaked in water. My ears heard a buzzing sound. I couldn't hear clearly what the Lantern Festival was shouting on the water.

My hands kept grabbing around me, hoping to find a place to leverage the strength, but after grabbing for a long time, I only caught a mud with one hand. My body was dragged through the broad-leaved metasequoia, and from time to time it hit the tree trunk, and bursts of severe pain came.
