Chapter 70 The siege of ghost vines

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, so I didn't say anything. I thought for a while and asked Wenmo: "Boss, you said you had chased that figure until the end of the swamp. Didn't you encounter these ghost vines at that time?"

Wen Mo shook his head, "No, I said that the person seemed to be very familiar with this place. I think he deliberately avoided Gui Tenghua's attack range."

"If that's the case," I continued, "It's better for us to follow the direction you were at that time. If it really doesn't work, let's give up the exploration plan to go to Yanxin's location."

Wen Mo pondered for a moment and nodded, "I have to do this!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew. Although the trees here were tall and thin, there were numerous, and under the influence of the wind, there was still a rustling sound.

I couldn't help but look up and saw the sea breeze vines hanging on the branches swaying in the wind, the blue sky and white clouds, and the branches swaying in the sky, which was very beautiful. But when I remembered what happened just now, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind, are these sea breeze vines swaying in the wind really?

At this time, Yuanxiao urged, "Okay, okay, stop watching, what should we do? Otherwise, we should evacuate this broad-leaved metasequoia forest first?"

I nodded, "It seems that this is the only way to go. Going back means walking a few more steps, which is much better than moving forward rashly."

Yuanxiao scratched her hair vigorously, "What's the situation? It's not a place for people to come! I've left in vain for so long!" As he said that, Yuanxiao took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and vomited a burst of blue smoke.

We were about to turn around and walk back when suddenly, I heard a strange vibration from the bushes above my head.

We immediately looked up and watched. Wen Mo only glanced at him, and immediately turned to Yuanxiao and said, "Put out the cigarette!"

Although Lanxiao didn't understand what was going on, she immediately threw the cigarette into the water, and the cigarette butts squeaked out.

I walked to Wen Mo and asked softly, "What's going on?"

Wen Mo looked at the top of us vigilantly and slowly spit out four words: "The ghost vine is here!"

These four words hit my heart like a heavy hammer, and immediately looked at the trees around me with all their attention. The vibration on the trunk was even more intense. My hand holding the short knife was already sweating. I could guess that danger should be coming.

Just as I thought of this, suddenly the broad-leaved metasequoia around me shook, and in an instant, many branches and leaves fell down. Then, above the trees behind us, a large number of ghost vines surged out, forming two huge arms, surrounding us in the direction we were.

We were shocked. Unexpectedly, these ghost vines would suddenly siege from behind. The plan that originally planned to retreat was ruined at once. Now the retreat has been cut off, and there is only one way left in front of us.

Lantern Festival shouted, "Run!"

So we ran desperately in the water deeper than our knees. The ghost vines behind us were chasing us reluctantly, and the ghost vines standing up one by one were like missiles ready to launch a fierce attack on us at any time.

Yuanxiao ran and cursed, "What's going on? It's fine just now, why did it suddenly become like this? Could it be that it's time for dinner?" Wen Mo said, "They may have been attracted. The sensory organs on this ghost vine are very sensitive, and any abnormal stimulation will prompt it to react accordingly."

I immediately understood what Wen Mo meant. I glared at Yuanxiao fiercely, "It's all you guys, you're smoking whatever cigarettes are you okay. These ghost vines must be attracted by the smell of your cigarette."

Yuanxiao looked guilty, "I don't know that these ghost vines are addicted to smoking!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Run!" Climbing into the mountains is common for Annaduo. Her physical strength is definitely not worse than us, and she is even better than me. But even so, Annaduo was so tired that she was panting!

As I ran, I suddenly felt the cold wind blowing behind my head. I immediately looked back and saw a ghost vine shot down like lightning. Before I could see clearly, which of us was the target. Wen Mo had already flashed with a knife, and instantly cut the diving ghost vine into two sections, and then shouted at me who was a little dazed: "Run!!"

I nodded and was about to turn around, when I saw a ghost vine heading straight to Wen Mo's waist. Wen Mo quickly jumped away to the side, and the ghost vine rubbed his body and fell into the air. Because of this thrilling scene, I couldn't help but exclaim, but unexpectedly, the ghost vine whirled in the air and swept straight to me.

"Damn!" I cursed and turned around and ran, but I didn't expect that this kind of thing was so fast. When I just ran a step, I subconsciously turned my head. My light swept something and arrived in a flash. So I subconsciously raised my arms to block it, but how could it be blocked? I only felt that my arms tightened and the ghost vine wrapped around my upper arm.

I immediately hugged my arms tightly and twisted them hard. I immediately felt the ghost vine behind me stretched out instantly. Just when I thought the second fight was about to begin, my arms wrapped suddenly felt like they were loosened. I turned around and saw that Lantern Festival had somehow reached behind me. I held a dagger in my hand. When I saw me turn around, I smiled at me, "Fortunately there is an extra dagger in the Yuan family's equipment, otherwise I would have to bite it with my teeth if I want to save you!"

At this time, Wen Mo at the end of the team shouted at us: "Hurry up! Run forward! Everyone takes care of each other!" While speaking, we saw Wen Mo avoiding the attack of the ghost vine again, and then turned around and cut off one with a sloppy move.

I knew in my heart that Wen Mo stayed at the end just to protect us. I wanted to go over and help, but considering that Wen Mo's skills and movements cannot be learned, we have caused trouble even in the past. All we can do is to protect ourselves to reduce Wen Mo's pressure.

Lantern Festival patted me and said, "Go!" The two of us turned around and ran quickly towards the end of the swamp.

As we ran, Anadu next to us suddenly exclaimed. When we turned around, a ghost vine had pounced in front of her. I hurriedly turned around to save him. But just as I paused a moment and was about to take a step, I suddenly felt my waist tightening. I looked down and saw that at some point, my waist had been entangled by the ghost vine. I held the short knife and flipped my hand and chopped it, but I didn't know if this ghost vine was tougher or if I couldn't use my strength with my backhand, so I didn't cut it off.

So I planned to hand the knife to the other hand, which would be more vigorous, but just as I changed hands, the ghost vine on my waist suddenly pulled, my body shook, and the short knife fell into the water. I secretly scolded myself for being useless and was about to bend down to pick it up, but at this time, Lanxiao rushed over, raised the dagger, and cut off the ghost vine on my waist.

As soon as the vine broke, the remaining part immediately retracted to the tree. Yuanxiao was too strong and almost fell into the water after stuttering under her feet. I couldn't go to help Yuanxiao because I saw that Anadu had been tied up by the ghost vine and began to pull it onto the trunk.

I reached out and touched my short knife underwater. Although I could not see the position clearly, I just touched the blade. This short knife was chosen by Yuanxiao and I for all my efforts. The steel mouth was excellent, so a big hole appeared in my hand and blood suddenly surged out.

I didn't care about these things, and held the short knife and rushed towards Annaduo. Fortunately, Annaduo was not pulled high by the ghost vine at this time. I jumped hard and grabbed her ankle, then pulled it down hard. Annaduo plus me, and the weight of the two people suddenly pulled down with the ghost vine.

I stepped forward and grabbed the ghost vine and raised the knife with my other hand. The ghost vine was cut off at once, but just as it was retracting, the head of the vine rolled up on my wrist. When I saw that the vine was cut off by me, I felt relieved and had no defense, so I was pulled into the water.

I was once again dragged by the ghost vine in the water, and my heart was so cowardly that I almost vomited blood. I raised my short knife to chop the ghost vine that was wrapped around my wrist. Unfortunately, the collision of the underwater tree roots and the strong sense of suffocation made me unable to cut the ghost vine twice in a row, and even almost cut my wrist. If I really cut my wrist by myself, it would be so unfair!

Just when I was helpless for a moment, suddenly I felt a figure falling from the sky, jumping into the water, and cutting off the ghost vine on my wrist with one knife. I quickly sat up from the water and looked at it. It was indeed Wen Mo. In the same situation, I was rescued twice by the same person. I was so embarrassed and angry!

I stood in the water and looked at the surrounding trees. Some ghost vines were still hidden among the sea breeze vines, waiting for an opportunity to move. I said to Wen Mo: "Boss, there are too many ghost vines, what should we do?"

Wen Mo pointed ahead, "As long as you get out of the swamp and enter the dense forest in front, it will be easy to deal with. These ghost vines have no eyes. They rely on the fine fluff on the vines to sense various tiny abnormal movements around them. Therefore, their attacks are not smart and not particularly accurate. It's just that the special environment here makes them more comfortable, but we are more passive. As long as we leave here, the situation will change."

I nodded and was about to speak, when suddenly, the ghost vine that had just been cut off by Wen Mo suddenly rushed out of the water again, and instantly tied Wen Mo's waist. Then he pulled it. Wen Mo turned around and waved the knife and was about to chop it, but there was another ghost vine coming out from somewhere, and it wrapped around Wen Mo's hand holding the knife like lightning. Before I could react, Wen Mo had been swept into the air by the two ghost vines. I jumped up and grabbed it, it was too late.
