crew members."

“But it didn’t eat anyone. It just used its roots to entangle people, threw them out and injured them, and then went on to catch the next one.

people. "

Heichenshi frowned and thought, "What are the casualties?"

"No one has died, but six crew members were seriously injured and temporarily incapacitated."

There was an extremely conspicuous mark on Qingman's dark green wrist, which was left by the man-eating tree.

After she finished her report, Heichenshi turned to look at Banyue beside him.

"Can you still hear the singing coming from far away?"

"I can hear it, the singing is very urgent. It makes people's heartbeats accelerate, as if it is ordering people to attack. But I was not affected at all, this time it was not directed at us.

of. "

Ban Yue took a deep breath and clenched his sword with both hands. "That man-eating tree will suddenly start to attack us, probably because of this song.

impact.”

"Captain, I'd like to go over and take a look. I'm very good with a sword, and I might be able to find the right opportunity to cut through the roots of that tree."

Ban Yue is the strongest swordsman on the ship, and Hei Chenshi knows her strength very well.

He hesitated slightly and signaled his men to give her a set of protective clothing.

This is a simple prop made by the ship's doctor and logistics staff who worked overtime.

It was originally intended to block the blood sprayed out by false clams, but now it can more or less block the green liquid sprayed out by some man-eating trees.

As soon as Banyue put on her clothes, she rushed out.

Qingman also wanted to follow, but someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.

She turned around fiercely and was about to curse.

Seeing that the person who caught him was Navigator Cobra, his brother's boyfriend, Qing Man choked and said

He swallowed back his angry curse.

"Aren't you a civilian? Why didn't you evacuate first?"

The navigator's lips were pale, and he kept pushing his glasses up on his nose. "How is your brother? Is he hurt?"

"My brother is fine. We are both green. We have been jumping in the woods for a day and our bodies are all smelling of grass. The tree probably thought we were

They are the same species, and they never attack us, they only fight back."

"The wound on my hand was caused by the roots getting entangled when I was saving someone. Oh, my dear sister-in-law, you can't help me, don't be here.

It's all for nothing. If my brother knew you weren't gone, how could he continue to hunt the man-eating tree in peace?

Qingman was halfway through her speech when she suddenly remembered something.

She turned her head to look at Heichen Stone, "By the way, Captain, it seems that the tree will not actively attack the snail."

"He has blue skin and doesn't smell like grass, unlike the two of us. I doubt the man-eating tree will attack the mutant.

I've only been in there for half a month, so I'll take a good look."

Having the captain's approval of his guess, Qingman rushed forward with high morale and murderous intent.

A strong crew member received the captain's order, carried the frail navigator on his back, and turned around to catch up with the main force.

Several confidants suggested that the seriously injured captain should leave with the main force. Hei Chenshi decisively refused and continued to sit in the sedan chair and observe.

situation.

From time to time, there were banging sounds coming from the woods. These were the sounds made when the members of the action team were thrown onto the trees.

Even if the man-eating tree's purpose this time is not to eat them, this is not a solution.

This dense forest is very strange and they can't get out for a while.

If all members of the action team are seriously injured, the team's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Without people who can fight, a few tigers can

They were wiped out.

I don’t know how long the song that controls the man-eating tree will last.

The action team may not be able to hold on until the singing stops, so they must find a way to kill or injure the man-eating tree.

Hei Chenshi lowered his eyelids slightly as he glanced at the gunner in front of him.

The woods are too dense, and the shells may not be able to hit the man-eating tree.

The man-eating tree moves very quickly and may have strong self-healing abilities.

Hei Chenshi was worried that if the guns and cannons did not hit the man-eating trees accurately at the same time, not only would they not be able to kill the mutant plants,

It will also completely irritate it.

Not far from the camp, there was an open space they had cleared, which was a place specifically for the chefs to make fire and cook.

There wasn't much cover there, making it easier for the gunner to aim.

If we can lure the man-eating tree over there, we might be able to kill it with concentrated fire.

The problem is that the man-eating tree can jump out more than ten meters in a second and drill all over the ground.

Even if it is lured over, it can rush over and attack them before the gunners can attack.

The sound of gunfire in the dense forest became more and more frequent. Heichen Shi's face remained calm as always, but beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Before he could figure out what to do, a small black claw suddenly rested on the back of his hand.

The little black dog, who had been quiet all this time, tilted its head back and whimpered at him a few times.

It is clear that Hei Chenshi cannot understand dog language, and usually needs gestures to communicate with the little black dog. But now his ability to understand has improved.

Surprisingly good,

Perhaps the situation was too critical, and Hei Chenshi's IQ rose a level, and he immediately understood what the puppy meant.

"You said that creatures in the middle sea might be afraid of or hate the sea water. That mutant plant came from the middle sea, and it might also be

I hate sea water.”

The little black dog wagged its tail vigorously, "Woof woof!"

"You want to use seawater to pour a circle on the ground to trap the man-eating tree inside so that it can't run away. Then you can freeze it.

Use the magic of time to freeze it for five seconds, buying us enough time."

"Woof! Woo woo woo!"

"Why don't you just use your magic? Are you worried that it's too fast and you won't be able to hold it within the designated range?"

The little black dog nodded vigorously.

Hei Chenshi rubbed his dog head twice, "There is no better way now, I don't mind trying your plan. But Hei Zhen
