Chapter 76: Ghost Vine Flower Ontology
Wen Mo's sudden shouting made us all stunned. But in such a place, even if we were asked to run, how could we run! But we still took a few steps back quickly.
Suddenly, Anado's exclamation came from beside me. When I turned around, I found that when she retreated, her heels tripped on the branch, and her body suddenly lost its center of gravity. I was worried that she would fall directly from the tree, so I immediately rushed to pull her, but there was still a distance between me and him, and there was really a helplessness that was beyond the reach.
Fortunately, Annaduo's reaction was fast enough and she immediately turned around, so that she could see clearly what was under her feet. Then she snatched forward and hugged a tree trunk hidden in the branches and leaves in front. After Annaduo hugged it, I realized that the trunk she was holding was the same as the one she had just discovered at Lantern Festival, and it was also a strange tree species without bark.
I roughly estimated that, and the one found in Lantern Festival and the one on Annaduo, there were at least seven or eight such strange trees around us.
Seeing that Annaduo was fine, I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly I heard Annaduo's scream again. She jumped away from the strange tree, then pointed to the strange tree, and said in a very terrified voice: "It, it is alive!! It will move!!"
Annaduo's words surprised us all. Before we could fully react, we found that all these "strange trees" without bark were moving, and an extremely strange scene appeared around us. The thick "trunks" twisted like giant pythons.
I panicked and asked loudly: "This, what's going on!! The trees are alive!"
Wen Mo turned around and jumped onto a sturdy branch, looked at us and said, "These are all ghost vines!"
"Such a thick ghost vine!!" Yuanxiao shouted in surprise, "This is the ancestor of those ghost vine grandsons!"
At this time, Uncle Er leaned against a normal big tree. While alerting to the twisting huge ghost vines, he said, "This should be the tiger sperm, which is the main vine of the ghost vine flower you mentioned. This shows that the ghost vine flower is here!"
I suddenly became nervous. It seemed that I didn't escape this battle. Yuanxiao seemed a little excited, "Okay, come on, it's time to settle the new and old accounts together!"
As the huge ghost vines around me twisted even more severely, even the branches and leaves around us shook. Next, the thick trunks of the ghost vine flowers actually waved, and one of them hit me to the position I was. I quickly dodged and jumped onto a branch next to me.
The trunks of the surrounding ghost vine flowers also began to wave in different directions. For a moment, the whole scene was very chaotic, with broken branches and leaves flying everywhere. Fortunately, the speed of the trunks of these ghost vine flowers was slower than the ends of the ghost vine we had seen before. This may be related to the size. The most important thing is that they do not seem to be in a hurry to kill us, so our situation is not very dangerous for the time being, but the more troublesome thing is that we can gain less and less branches!
While leaping between the branches with some difficulty, Lanxiao shouted loudly: "Hurry!! Go quickly! Get out of here!"
Actually, why don’t I think about it! I saw the gap between the two main ghost vines, and just as I was about to rush over, one of them suddenly fell horizontally and blocked my retreat. I quickly turned to another direction and was also intercepted by the thick main ghost vines. I couldn’t help but shout anxiously: “No! These guys seem to be unwilling to let us leave!”
We seemed to have fallen into a circle of encirclements and could not escape for a moment. Moreover, the circle of encirclements was shrinking, and soon we were forced to gather together. Just as we were about to deal with the last fatal blow of the ghost vine flower, these thick trunks suddenly slowed down their waving frequency. They just surrounded us, and occasionally beat the branches and leaves of the trees beside us. We saw many big trees being smashed by them, but the tree under our feet seemed to turn a blind eye.
Anado looked around and said, "What should I do? What are they doing? Are they planning to let us go?"
The second uncle shook his head, "No, we are the food at their mouths! They are just cleaning up now."
When Lanxiao heard this, she became anxious: "Md wants to eat me!" As she said that, she raised the gun in her hand, "I want to eat me! It's not certain whoever eats it!"
"Clear the market? Why do you need to clear the market?" I asked very strangely, "This ghost fungus needs such a great idea to have a meal!"
Uncle Er shook his head, "There is only one reason for them to clear the field, that is, the body will appear. According to legend, when this ghost vine flower usually encounters small prey, it can be absorbed through the ghost vine's own screening tube after being captured, but the body will only appear if the prey is too large or the number is relatively large."
"Oh!" Yuanxiao snorted coldly, "The body appears in person, and it will give us face, right?"
The second uncle glared at Yuanxiao and continued, "No one knows the specific situation of this ghost vine flower. I have only seen a few words in some ancient books. This kind of creature has been extremely rare since ancient times. It is an ancient alien species and has not been seen for thousands of years."
Yuanxiao sighed, "So, why do we die in a while? I don't know!"
At this time, Wen Mo looked down at the bottom, suddenly waved his hand and said, "Be careful, here you come!"
As soon as Wen Mo said this, everyone's faces suddenly turned pale. I took a deep breath with some nervousness, but before the breath could even be breathed, the tree where we were suddenly shaken violently.
I looked down and saw that a piece of land under the tree suddenly cracked. Wen Mo immediately said to us: "Hurry!! Go down here!"
But the form changed too quickly. We took measures. The ground under the big tree suddenly bulged, and the whole tree suddenly tilted to one side. Lantern Festival did not stand firmly and suddenly slid down from the tree. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and grabbed a branch with one hand, and his body was suspended in the air.
I wanted to rush over to save him, but the tree trunk suddenly tilted, and I couldn't protect myself. I hugged the tree trunk desperately and did not fall down.
Wen Mo jumped over easily and reached out to pull Yuanxiao up. But before he could stand firm, the ground swayed violently again. Except for Wen Mo being calm, we were all hugging each other tightly on the trunk like four koalas.
I took advantage of the shaking and calming a little, and looked down. I was shocked immediately and couldn't take my eyes away.
In the soil that was tilted and raised under the tree, many huge things like petals were extended. I think this is probably the body of the ghost vine flower, but I never dreamed that it was actually hidden underground. "Can there be flowers blooming underground?"
The second uncle grabbed the tree trunk hard and said, "Big nephew, this is not an ordinary flower, or maybe it is not a flower at all!"
I looked down with surprise. Although the body of the ghost vine flower has not yet fully drilled out of the ground, the diameter of its entire "corolla" is almost more than ten meters. Moreover, the petals on it are not a thin sheet-like body, but a very thick flesh wing. On the edge of the flesh wing, there are sharp jagged thorns, just like rows of sharp teeth, which makes people frightened!
As the main body of the ghost vine flower gradually emerged from the ground, the thick flesh wings opened and closed, making the entire ghost vine flower look like a big mouth, about to eat us on the tree.
When the ghost vine flower appeared completely on the ground, the big tree we were in was uprooted and the trunk fell down in an instant. We were about to fall into the ghost vine flower, but unexpectedly, this tree was too tall and the trunk was suddenly placed on other trees and did not really fall down.
The second uncle took this opportunity and shouted loudly: "Hurry up!! Go to another tree!"
So everyone stepped on the tilted tree trunk and ran upwards. Because I was lowered just now, I suddenly became the last one. Looking at the ghost vine flowers with their teeth and claws below, I felt cold all over, so I ran up desperately.
Wen Mo held a steel needle in his hand and shot it out to both sides to attract the attention of the main ghost vines on both sides. Just when we thought we were about to escape, suddenly, a thick main ghost vine emerged from somewhere and hit the trunk in front of me.
This time, we were not prepared at all. The others shook violently and almost fell down. I was the most unfortunate at the end. After the trunk was broken, due to the reaction force, I rebounded quickly. I happened to be at a point lower behind the fracture, and I was suddenly bounced high and then fell into the ghost vine flower.
To be honest, the inside of the ghost vine flower is actually very soft, especially on the thick petals. But I instantly felt like falling into an ice cellar. My whole body became stiff and my hair was blown up. I saw that the part of the most central stamen in the ghost vine flower seemed to secrete this kind of mucus, and the surrounding petals were like sharp teeth, and my whole scalp was numb.
