Chapter 2130: Man-Eating Tree!
"Jinpeng, don't eat randomly." After Huang Hao heard this, he directly made a joke about Wang Jinpeng.
"Am I that kind of person?" Wang Jinpeng couldn't laugh or cry. When he heard that he was in Lin Ran's hallucination, he would swallow the fruit he picked at any cost.
He is not a fool. Although he can pick wild fruits, he will never put all the fruits in his mouth.
And it's in such an isolated place.
They continued walking for a while, only to find that the original footprints on the ground had disappeared.
Everyone stopped, they stayed where the footprints disappeared, and then explored in different directions.
As a result, no footprints were found.
"It's strange that they suddenly disappeared when they got here?" Lin Ran looked at the footprints on the ground. The land in front of them was still wet, unless they did not go forward but changed the direction.
However, he looked at the scenery around him.
There are all kinds of exotic flowers and plants growing at the bottom of the mountain. On both sides are herbaceous plants about two meters high, blocking most of the light.
If someone took this road, it would leave traces.
The other people did not dare to act rashly and stood still.
But at this moment, Lin Ran noticed a person not far away with his back to them.
There was only one person, and his clothes were in tatters.
Huang Lei subconsciously shouted: "Brother in front, are you okay?"
Wang Jinpeng directly covered his mouth.
Why is this man so naive?
In this kind of valley, if you dare to say hello to strangers when you meet them, I really don't know how to write the word "death".
Huang Lei broke away from Wang Jinpeng. He felt that this man's back looked familiar, as if he was from the archaeological team.
After what he said, Lin Ran did notice that the clothes he was wearing should be those of the archaeological team.
He actually came to the valley.
If it were other native masters, they would naturally not dare to approach rashly.
But thinking that they were from the archaeological team made them feel at ease. At least the official people would not attack them for no reason.
So the group relaxed their guard a little and approached the person.
I saw him standing there, his body shaking continuously.
Huang Lei quickened his pace, ran to his side, and held his shoulders.
"Brother, what happened?"
But when Huang Lei saw the face, he was stunned for a moment.
Because there is no blood left on this face, with dark circles under the eyes, a livid face, and blood constantly leaving the corners of the mouth.
Even Huang Lei could clearly feel that something was wrong with this person.
He subconsciously took two steps back and pointed his gun at the monster, fearing that it was the "zombie" that Lin Ran had mentioned.
However, what was feared did not happen.
Because this former archaeological team member is actually completely dead.
His body was shaking, and not because he was still moving.
Instead, his body was entangled by a vine-like plant. These vines were like snakes, causing his body to tremble.
Huang Lei and Professor Liu couldn't help but take two steps back when they saw this scene for the first time.
Lin Ran gave Wang Jinping a wink.
Wang Jinpeng immediately understood what he meant, approached the man with a short knife, and then slashed at the vines wrapped around his feet.
The result was really like a snake, the vine shrank instantly, and bright red liquid flowed out from the fracture, just like watermelon juice.
But as the liquid flowed out, they smelled a particularly strong smell of blood.
It’s self-evident what kind of liquid this is.
"Be careful!" Lin Ran suddenly pounced on Wang Jinpeng, who was inspecting the body.
The moment the two of them fell to the ground, a vine wrapped directly around where Wang Jinpeng was standing.
Fortunately, Lin Ran reacted quickly, otherwise with such sharpness, even if Wang Jinpeng was not entangled, he might have been directly pressed to the ground sometimes.
Only then did he think of it.
When he looked up, he saw that these vines were hanging down from a large tree more than ten meters high.
At first glance, it looks like wicker swaying naturally with the wind.
But seeing the direction in which they were swinging, it was clear that they had locked onto their positions!
"Let's go!" Lin Ran shouted to the others in a sharp voice.
Because the tree had launched a general attack on them, all the approaching vines were waving towards them.
Professor Liu is already old and cannot stand the trouble.
Seeing that he was about to be entangled in the vines, Huang Lei gritted his teeth and pushed him away.
As a result, he was miserable, and his feet were entangled by the vines that followed.
And he could feel that the vines were like the tentacles of an octopus, with suction cups and other substances on them, desperately adsorbing on his body.
But there was no pain.
Wang Jinpeng picked it up, roared, and cut off the vines with a knife.
At the same time, Amin lit a torch.
"This thing is afraid of fire!" A Ming originally just had the attitude of giving it a try, but after he lit the torch, the approaching vines did recede.
The other people immediately approached A Ming's position.
The vines were ready to move nearby, but they didn't dare to attack.
Lin Ran and the others finally saw clearly. It turned out that there were many flower-like structures attached to the vines, but if you look closely, they were not flowers, but spikes.
It looks like the mouthparts of a monster.
Wang Jinpeng also dragged Huang Lei to A Ming's side.
Several vines tried to attack. Amin immediately set the fire on the side of his teammates. The closest vine had no time to retract. After touching the flames, the flowers on it were instantly ignited like paper.
However, the branches were not lit, and the vines immediately shrank back.
After this attempt, the uncle did not dare to take the initiative to attack again, but Amin and the others found the life-saving treasure first. Amin stood at the end of the team with a torch, covering the others and slowly retreating from the attack range of the big tree.
Looking back again, this tree is really a giant.
Its trees are like umbrellas at night, covering half of the beach, and the vines are like snakes, constantly squirming on the trees.
"What kind of monster is this?" Professor Liu was still frightened.
Although he is not a biologist, he has never heard of a plant that sucks human blood.
Huang Lei cursed secretly, because he finally felt the pain.
My ankle was entangled by Manten, and I didn't feel it at the time.
But watching it now, his character has a huge wound, as if he was bitten by a wild beast.
The area around the wound had turned black and purple, and the situation looked not optimistic.
A Ming immediately squatted down, took out antibiotics and iodine from his backpack, and performed simple wound treatment on Huang Lei.
Huang Lei felt inexplicably angry.
I saw clearly just now that the dead one was indeed a member of the archaeological team, or a member who had a good relationship with him.
As a result, he was sucked into a mummy just now.
