"No matter what, let's climb up the highest one first. You can always see it."
Shukang decided not to waste time, and went straight to the surface of the highest one that had been intermittently partially hardened by her flamethrower. After testing it hard, it could bear the force intermittently, allowing her to climb.
The bulky flamethrower had finished its use and was thrown aside. After a while, it disappeared by itself.
The burnt part gave off a meaty burnt smell, which really had the smell of "barbecued" squid rolls. Shu Kang suppressed his association with beer and began to climb in earnest.
Since the material being climbed is too soft and the friction is always sufficient, we don’t need to prepare any extra tools and just use our bare hands.
As soon as he switched to the mode that Shukang was accustomed to, the climbing speed picked up. Soon, she climbed to almost half the height, and stepped on a soft rubber pad in the middle to use as a foot pad. She wanted to take a rest and take a look at which tree below the Hai Xiaolou was hidden!
Shu Kang conducted a 360-degree full-view search. Most of the branches were black and yellow, and they were collectively trembling slightly. He didn't know whether it was because he was conscious, feeling the pain of being grilled, or there was something else - - Creatures such as Haixiaolou and Shukang - climb on it.
Sure enough, on one of the trees that was shaking more violently than the others, Hai Xiaolou's figure was revealed. He was trying hard to fight the "octopus" around his waist. It turned out that the fire just now also affected it, so it went on strike. The eight fish skin outer shells that should have been tightly grasping Hai Xiaolou were The top of the tree was now all wrapped tightly around Xiaolou's waist, entangled with the giant tree behind Xiaolou.
Seeing Hai Xiaolou struggling like that, Shu Kang was so happy that he wanted to laugh, thinking: "Oh, you have never had barbecue! How does the grilled squid roll taste? You asked me to 'follow you closely', now you have to 'Follow me', haha!"
Laughing, people still need to be saved. Shukang took a look at the distance between himself and Hai Xiaolou. The straight line span was about 150 meters, so he took out the wooden hairpin and drew a crossbow with a rescue rope. , and then aimed at Hai Xiaolou, aiming condescendingly, and shot out with a "swish", the arrow hit the big head of the crazy "octopus", and its tentacles quickly became soft. Coming down, Hai Xiaolou quickly grabbed the rope on the arrow tail, untied the rope end, and let the lifeless "octopus" carry the arrow shaft along the trunk of the "tree" where it was. It slipped.
He climbed steadily, first grasped the end of the rope, and then waved to Shukang from a distance. Shukang also saw the reaction here, so he placed the end of the rope on a thick and solid "branch" at her climbing position. "I tied it with a knot and waved, indicating that Hai Xiaolou could swing over.
It's easy to say that within the radius of the swing, you may have to sweep through several "treetops". Fortunately, these "treetops" are made of gel material with anti-collision cushioning. Even if they are wiped by, they will not There will be no skin wounds.
The fish-skin armor behind Hai Xiaolou had long since fallen off, and now he was only left in light clothes, revealing his strong arms and calves. He could be seen holding the rope tightly, and in the direction of Shukang, he plunged down with a fierce movement. .
Ideally, this should be a beautiful arc, but what a pity! In the middle, he encountered four or five "rubber tree tips" that he could not avoid, so he made a zigzag sinusoidal curve all the way, perfectly drawing an electrocardiogram curve of a healthy person, and finally reached Shukang's position in embarrassment. He was still one step away from grabbing another branch tied to the end of the rope, but the bouncing force of his last jump made him almost close, but he suddenly lost strength and rebounded.
After bouncing four or five times again, it swung back to the starting point of space near the starting position, and the second round of "sinusoidal curve" began.
This time, Chief Hai Xiaolou remembered, and paid attention to mobilizing the core muscles of his body, allowing the strength on the spine to work together to make up for the shortage of the last arm.
Seeing that his first swing was unsuccessful and he was about to start his second swing, Shukang also adjusted his position at the same time. On the premise of fixing one of his feet, he prepared the other three limbs, including his entire body. Be prepared for the second performance of this "trapeze artist" and "give your brothers a hand."
"Perfect!"
With the joint efforts of the two of them, Hai Xiaolou swung for the second time, using a beautiful "cosine curve" to reach Shu Kang's hand. She grabbed her wrist and pulled her to her standing position.
"Thanks!"
In shock, Hai Xiaolou's face turned from pale to pink. After standing firm, he pulled back his wrist and thanked Shukang softly.
"You're welcome! I burned down this place and made you unfamiliar with the road. I'm sorry!" Shu Kang replied with a smile.
"It's true! In so many years, you are the first one who dares to set fire here! You are so lucky! Do you know? The oxygen content here is the lowest in the entire country, so we can avoid being burned to death. No one dares Set fire in the country of Mao, because the entire country of Mao makes a living by creating oxygen, and there is no fire at all, and you are the first person to bring in fire." Hai Xiaolou added.
"Creating oxygen is the principle of photosynthesis? But there is no light here? And where is the chlorophyll?"
Shukang asked, thinking about everything here, she felt that the light in those blue light rods was wrong, and the dark green behind those holes might have something to do with chlorophyll.
"After eating the flower stalks we sent up, the chlorophyll was absorbed by the giant algae, and its body has the function of photosynthesis. Every day, it will work hard to grow upward, surface to the surface, and accept the most beautiful things. A lot of light, and then you can support yourself—and all of us here." Hai Xiaolou replied.
"So that means that the green film I broke through in the first place was part of the giant algae's body?" Shu Kang understood a little bit.
"Yes, that is part of its body. The entire country is in its body. We support it, and it also repays us." Hai Xiaolou said something affectionate, as if he was praising himself. The mother is average.
"So, does it recognize you and know your existence?" Shu Kang still felt that something was wrong.
"It doesn't approve it, but it also knows it. Therefore, it has been sending its own scavenger sea leaf lizards to hunt down us 'others' every day." The affection in Hai Xiaolou's eyes disappeared and turned into a helpless one. .
