Zhang Dashan felt a sense of fear. He had previously suspected that a few of those baby ghosts were still alive, hiding in the depths of the woods to recuperate, waiting for an opportunity for revenge. Could it be that he had encountered them like this?
Although he was afraid, he didn't show it on the surface. After all, he would lose miserably if he lost. Besides, nothing was certain yet. If he messed up his position first, he would really lose miserably.
But having said that, he still couldn't help complaining about his bad luck.
As if sensing Zhang Dashan's vigilance, the movement in the grass suddenly disappeared, and for a long time there was no movement in the grass.
However, instead of breathing a sigh of relief, Zhang Dashan became even more vigilant. He had originally been lucky enough to think that it was some kind of small animal passing by, but now he no longer thought so, and a strong sense of crisis enveloped his heart.
Zhang Dashan didn't move, nor did the grass. The two sides faced off for a long time.
As the sky gradually darkened, Zhang Dashan lost his composure. It was not an option to continue like this.
Today's woods are different from the past. After dark, this place is shrouded in ominousness and crisis. Even Zhang Dashan does not want to stay in such a place when it is dark.
Let’s not talk about whether there is any danger, but instinct is already filled with rejection and fear.
Furthermore, even if there are not those monsters, there will still be various animals in the woods, including many ferocious birds and beasts. Once it gets dark, the environment will be very unfavorable for you, and you must leave this place as soon as possible. place, just go back to the town.
Zhang Dashan thought about just turning around and leaving, but he couldn't help but care about the grass.
He had noticed something strange in it before, so it was really difficult for him to pretend he didn't know anything and leave like this. What if it was really one of those big-headed monsters, and once he turned around and gave the other party a chance to pounce, what would he do?
Even though he knew that if they were really those monsters, he would have no chance of survival and escape would be even less possible, Zhang Dashan still had the courage to step forward carefully step by step.
His eyes were fixed on the grass.
Any slight disturbance at this time will greatly affect his mood at this time, and even determine his next actions.
However, I don't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate, but there was no movement in the grass.
Zhang Dashan, who had already walked closer and was only two steps away, suddenly hesitated again. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong in rushing forward without knowing his life or death.
But he has already come so close. With just one more step, he doesn't even have to step forward. As long as he thinks about it, the true face of the existence hiding in the grass will be exposed in front of him. In that case, maybe he will No need to worry anymore.
If there is really a danger, and everyone on the left and right will die, then why not let yourself die clearly?
Thinking like this, but actually not making up his mind yet, Zhang Dashan's trembling hands reached forward and pushed aside the grass.
Zhang Dashan suddenly widened his eyes.
Among the grass, a young man was lying in it, staring at him closely with his eyes open, his eyes full of wariness and hatred.
The first reaction when seeing these eyes was to be startled. Zhang Dashan subconsciously took a step back, but soon stopped abruptly because he found that although the eyes were wide open , the emotions inside were overflowing, but at this time all the spirit had been lost.
The owner of the eyes, the young man of unknown origin, was motionless and seemed to be dead.
The young man had an upright appearance. Unlike the monsters that ran out of the depths of the woods before, each of them had a deformed body and a head bigger than his body. The body of the young man lying in the grass in front of him did not have such strange changes, but That long hair was like a green willow, with a hint of green, and those eyes were gleaming green, which made Zhang Dashan's thoughts uncontrollably drawn, as if it was the most beautiful and precious treasure in the world, even more precious than green gems. .
What gave him this feeling was the eyes of a strange young man. Zhang Dashan shook his head, feeling that his idea was really weird, but he couldn't help but think of Gu Chen at this moment.
Thinking back when he met Gu Chen, wasn't it also because of those eyes that he was attracted?
A boy with eyes like this shouldn't be a bad person, right?
Zhang Dashan thought this and shook his head regretfully. The young man opened his eyes but showed no reaction. Is he probably dead?
"Huh?"
Zhang Dashan soon discovered that although the young man fell in the grass, his situation was slightly strange. He was hidden by the layers of grass, but the ground under his small body was Plants such as long green leaves, vines, and tree roots grew out. They were now as thick as an adult's thumb, wrapping around the young man up and down. Moreover, under Zhang Dashan's careful inspection, those plants were still faintly visible. It is slowly squirming and seems to be growing.
It seems that in a short time, those plants will fully grow and swallow up this young man with green hair, green eyebrows, and even green eyes.
The grass in this place was obviously weird and different from other places. Reason told Zhang Dashan that it was best to keep a distance from such a place and not get close, but let him see the young man's body being submerged by these weird plants and let him stand by and watch. It really can't be done.
"Death is the most important thing. The only way back is to rest in the ground. What's the point of being eaten by a plant?"
While muttering to himself, Zhang Dashan stepped forward suddenly, reached for the bamboo basket behind his back with his right hand, and picked up a short hatchet. He picked up the hatchet and chopped at the plants.
Although those plants were already as thick as an adult's thumb, they had just grown up. They had not been exposed to wind, rain or sun, and had not been polished with soil or stones. They appeared young and tender. They were cut off by a gentle swing of the hatchet. open.
But before Zhang Dashan could breathe a sigh of relief, the cut plants started to grow again at a speed visible to the naked eye, much faster than they had just grown, and began to surround the green-haired boy's body. .
"What the hell!?"
Zhang Dashan was startled, exclaimed, and immediately started hacking randomly without caring about anything else.
No matter how long those plants were, after he chopped them down indiscriminately, it didn't take long to see that the ground was in a mess, full of chopped young tree roots, grass roots, and vines, and juice was still flowing from the cuts everywhere.
But the cut plants were still like dead but not stiff centipede insects, squirming and stretching, still trying to connect.
Unknowingly, Zhang Dashan was also surrounded by these strangely growing plants. Those plants seemed to be setting up a general plan to submerge Zhang Dashan and the green-haired boy.
However, after being chopped down by Zhang Dashan, the vitality of those plants has been greatly depleted, and their growth power has been insufficient. As a result, the growth rate is not as fast as before, and the decline is gradually showing, and the roots have become faintly yellow.
Zhang Dashan waved away the last layer of strange plants entangled with the green-haired boy, and directly picked up the green-haired boy, but was suddenly stunned for a moment.
"Warm?"
He suddenly stared closely at the young man's face.
The young man was completely unconscious, but his green eyes, full of vigilance and hostility, swayed imperceptibly at this moment.
Still alive?
Zhang Dashan was startled, put down the hatchet, and gently pressed his hand on the green-haired boy's chest. He felt an extremely weak heartbeat there. It was vague and hard to catch, but it was definitely there.
After confirming that the other party was still alive, Zhang Dashan was overjoyed and said softly but firmly to the green-haired boy: "Although I don't know where you come from, since you are still alive, I will not leave you alone. Don’t worry, I will definitely save you.”
As if after hearing Zhang Dashan's words, the green-haired boy's pupils regained focus for a moment, and his eyes became brighter. He seemed to glance at Zhang Dashan vaguely, and then slowly closed his eyes.
As the green-haired boy's green eyes closed, the surrounding plants completely stopped growing.
