Thinking of this, my eyes suddenly fell on the mound in the middle of the river.
The river has been rotating around a mound. Could there be something underneath the mound?
Thinking of this, I knew I had to go to the other side of the river.
"Old senior, I think I have found the entrance to Shouwu Mountain!"
I returned to Lao Chen excitedly.
Lao Chen asked: "Where is it?"
I pointed to the mound on the other side of the river and said, "Did you see it? There is a bumpkin right there! If I guessed correctly, the bumpkin is probably the mound of a large tomb. Even if it is not a mound, there is something hidden inside. A windmill-like device or spring. Otherwise, the river would have no power to circulate at all!"
"Yeah! What a good eye. I also discovered this problem just now. Yueyao, let's cross the river!
Lao Chen lifted his back, and Gu Ling and Yueyao shot out the flying claw ropes in their hands almost at the same time.
The two ropes flew to the other side and entangled themselves in the big tree.
Everyone grabbed the rope and slipped past like monkeys.
The vegetation on the other side is also very dense, and there is no way to even enter the center of the mound surrounded by the river.
Lao Chen took out a machete and held one against me. Yueyao also took out a machete from her waist. They cut through the thorns and began to make their way to the middle of the mound. However, the strange thing is that as soon as a few dozen meters of road was cut, it suddenly became dark.
"It's strange, it's not even noon yet, why is it so dark?" I asked.
Gu Ling said: "Maybe it's going to rain outside!"
Sure enough, there was a thunderclap, and soon a thick fog filled the entire forest. The fog was so thick that visibility was no more than three meters!
Perhaps out of nervousness, Gu Ling took the initiative to hold my hand.
"Even if we can't find a white rhinoceros this time, it's worth it even if we just find a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum."
I thought about it badly, still recalling the ecstasy I felt after drinking the river water just now.
Anyway, intuitively, I think there must be a big treasure in this place!
"what sound?"
I suddenly became alert and felt a rustling sound coming from all directions.
"Boss! I seem to have stepped on a dead man's head!"
Gu Ling hugged me tightly.
I used the flashlight to shine at her feet. Sure enough, the ground was full of bones. It looked like there were not even a thousand but eight hundred people who died here. Damn it, it looks like a mass grave!
Reminiscent of the Ming Dynasty general's armor I encountered when I first came in, I felt that this place was probably no better than the tomb in Ghost Blowing Lantern. If we come in this time, we are destined to escape death.
"Sister, don't be afraid! Aren't they just a few dead heads? Old gentleman, can you tell if this sound is a snake?"
Old Chen's face was livid, his ears twitched, and he asked Yueyao: "Yaoyao, what do you think?"
Yueyao suddenly took out a wooden leaf from her hand and blew it.
Konoha's voice was weird. After blowing for a while, the girl said: "Grandpa! It's not a snake, maybe..."
As soon as the girl said this, I suddenly felt a hand reaching out from the soil and grabbing my ankle.
At the same time, Gu Ling also screamed.
I shined a flashlight on the ground, and I was almost scared out of my mind!
A pair of dry hands stretched out from the soil, clasping tightly around my ankles, trying desperately to pull me into the soil.
In the blink of an eye, the soil has already reached my knees...
Soon after, Houdan picked me up and pulled me out like a carrot.
That withered hand suddenly became like a gluten man, stretched out by a monkey's egg.
bass! bass! bass!
Under the surrounding dead leaves, hundreds of hands sprouted like bamboo shoots after a rain.
"Ah! Boss..."
Gu Ling's screams came from above my head. When I looked up, I found that the girl had been tied up with countless ropes and was hanging in the air. This sudden terror made everyone panic.
Fortunately, at this moment, a cold light flashed in front of my eyes, and then I saw a bolt of lightning flying through the trees.
With a few clicks, the black rope on Gu Ling's body had been cut by lightning.
The girl fell from the air, rolled over and landed in front of me.
At this time, Houdan had already grabbed the gluten hand wrapped around my body, and pulled hard. With a bang, the whole dry hand was torn off by him, and he just held it like this.
Between the flashes of lightning, there was another bolt of lightning flying around.
After a while, I found that the lightning had disappeared into Lao Chen's hand.
This time I finally saw it clearly!
Not lightning! It turned out to be two scimitars! That's right! Lao Chen and Yueyao are definitely not ordinary herb collectors! Ordinary herb collectors would not dare to come to such a place rashly, let alone have such a powerful scimitar!
"It's okay! It's just a tree man!"
Everyone was standing with their backs to their backs, and around them, there were already thousands of hands baring their teeth and claws, ready to attack at any time.
At this time, Hou Dan was still staring at the ghost hand in his hand.
"Boss, it's a tree, a tree vine!"
Hou Dan finally found the clue.
I looked at his hand and saw that the ghost hand, which was pale and bloodless just now, quickly turned into a dead vine after being torn off. This is the first time I have seen such a strange tree.
Lao Chen looked at the ghost hand shaking in front of him with vigilance and said: "If I guessed correctly, we seem to have strayed into the man-eating tree. I once heard the master talk about a kind of ghost hand tree. The plant looks similar to a banyan tree on the outside, but in fact each tentacle is a ghost hand, capable of hunting prey like a devil!"
It was obviously the first time Gu Ling had encountered this thing.
"Old senior, you said this is not a ghost, but just a plant?"
"That's right! A living plant that makes a living by hunting animals. They will use ghost-hand-shaped roots to wrap around their prey, and then, from the roots, countless capillary-like roots will stretch out and drill through them. Enter the animal’s body and absorb the nutrient solution!”
Only then did Gu Ling regain her composure. The shock just now really scared her.
"It turns out it's just a man-eating tree! Boss, if you want me to see it, rush out in one go. The longer time passes, the more evil hands will appear!"
After listening to Gu Ling's words, Lao Chen said: "The little girl is right, but it's a pity that with just a few of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out!"
I asked Lao Chen: "Senior, do you have a better way?"
Lao Chen said in a deep voice: "The man-eating tree is only a kilometer or two away. Even if we try our best, we can only rush out seven or eight hundred meters. Moreover, the man-eating tree will move, and the tree body will keep following us. If we want to go out, we must have at least ten scimitars like our grandfather and grandson. What a pity!"
Just as he was talking, dozens more ghost hands attacked, and two flying knives sank into the air. After a fight, they returned to the hands of old Chen and his grandson. Gu Ling held the long flute and ran out of ideas for a moment.
I thought to myself, it would be great if there were bombs now, but when I thought about it, it was not easy to blow up these ghost hands.
