When they went to the bathhouse, Eric had completely lost his previous disappointment and was playing with other students excitedly.
In the past, if Eric got so carried away, Harman would definitely hit him with a hammer to wake him up. But today, Harman was unexpectedly quiet and was particularly tolerant of him.
Gu Xingmian knew that Eric would sometimes hug Harman and talk about his secrets, and he only told Harman these things, such as his birthday, which Eric had not told anyone but Harman.
At that time, Gu Xingmian saw Harman and Gugu secretly flipping through the calendar, and asked him out of curiosity, and then guessed it from his various difficult gestures.
Gu Xingmian had told Harman about the birthday party for Eric. Harman was very excited at that time, but since this morning, Harman has been a little bit uneasy.
Gu Xingmian looked at Eric who was letting himself go in the bathhouse. He could not see any difference from before.
Gu Xingmian walked to Harman and touched his body: "What's wrong?"
Harman just rubbed him.
Gu Xingmian felt that he did not have any uncomfortable emotions, and felt a little relieved.
At about the same time, Xiao Qiong walked in from outside and motioned to Gu Xingmian quietly. Gu Xingmian knew that the restaurant was ready.
This time, in order to give Eric a surprise, they specially booked the sunset restaurant that Eric had always wanted to go to.
This restaurant is a little far from Denim City, on a cliff next to the Sunset Sea. It is said that you can see the most beautiful sunset in the entire St. Robert continent.
They also made a reservation with great difficulty.
So Gu Xingmian called everyone to leave together.
Eric was still muttering that he hadn't played enough, why did he have to leave so early.
Gu Xingmian smiled and said, "Because the restaurant we are going to is a little far, we have to leave early."
Eric thought he meant walking there, but when he walked out of the bathhouse, he was stunned to see Fu Fenglin driving a suspension car: "Is it so far? Do we still need to take a car?"
The others already knew that they were going to the Sunset Restaurant, but in order not to arouse Eric's suspicion, they were all acting, and Eric was taken to the car in a daze.
The suspension car quickly drove out of Denim City.
In order to confuse Eric, everyone played games in the car.
After winning a few games, Eric got a little carried away and winked at Xiao Qiong: "Boss, do you want to play with me?"
Xiao Qiong was originally resting by the car window. Hearing this, he raised his eyes: "Are you sure you want to play with me?"
Eric had never seen Xiao Qiong play games before. Thinking about it, Xiao Qiong trained all day long, and it was highly likely that he would not know how to play. His mind suddenly became lively: "Come on, boss, it's just a game, winning or losing doesn't matter."
Xiao Qiong saw through his little thoughts at a glance, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Okay."
Eric became excited. Who among their students this year doesn't want to beat Xiao Qiong once! Even if it's a game!
Eric immediately explained the rules of the game to Xiao Qiong diligently.
The other students stopped playing and gathered around them curiously.
Only Fu Fenglin smiled sarcastically through the rearview mirror.
The game they played was that each person randomly played against a bunch of chess pieces with different combat powers. The chess pieces had settings for restraint and different combat powers. If you were unlucky, it was easy to draw a bunch of chess pieces with insufficient combat power, but if you had a good strategy, you could still win. It was
Xiao Qiong's first time playing and he was a little awkward at first.
Eric was secretly happy and thought he was sure to win this time.
Who knew that after the game started, Xiao Qiong was pressing step by step and didn't give Eric, the birthday boy, any face.
Eric didn't even drag the game to the late stage, but was defeated and admitted defeat in the middle stage.
He looked at Xiao Qiong in shock: "Boss, haven't you played this game before?!"
"No, I haven't played it before." Xiao Qiong fiddled with the chess pieces, and it was obvious that he had found a new interest. "It's just controlling the different chess pieces to fight against each other and controlling the situation. It's not difficult."
Eric: "..."
He has always relied on good luck and rushed all the way. He never thought that there is such a way to play.
Gu Xingmian looked at Eric sympathetically. After all, Xiao Qiong had 70 or 80 younger brothers. Even if he had never played this game before, he still had a natural advantage.
Song Nanting, who had not been interested in the game before, came over and said, "I'll play with you."
Eric stepped down from the table in frustration and said, "No more playing, you guys play!"
He looked at his watch and said, "We've been driving for so long, and we haven't arrived yet?"
He felt a little annoyed, so he opened the car window, and instantly a light and elegant flower fragrance filled the car.
"What a nice smell!"
"Where does it come from?"
"Look! That flower is so beautiful!"
Everyone curiously looked out the window following the flower scent, and saw clusters of pink flowers blooming on the roadside. The flowers were as big as the palm of a hand, with layers of pink petals stacked up, but they all looked like they were about to bloom. The fragrance seemed to come from there.
However, no one had ever seen this variety of flower before.
"Xingmian, do you recognize it?"
Gu Xingmian shook his head hesitantly. He didn't seem to have seen this plant in the "Encyclopedia of Flora and Fauna of St. Roberts".
Although the "Encyclopedia of Flora and Fauna of St. Roberts" did not include all the flora and fauna of the mainland, he didn't know why he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Let's close the window first. I don't know what characteristics this plant has. I'm afraid it's not safe."
Hearing him say this, everyone quickly closed the car windows.
"Hey, this flower is pretty..." "
Why are there so many of these flowers planted!"
Everyone looked through the car window and saw that almost the entire roadside was full of these flowers. The further they went, the more of these flowers there were. They were crowded together, almost turning the front into a pink ocean.
Gu Xingmian frowned. He remembered that when he checked the route from Denim City to Sunset Restaurant, he looked at the real-life map and it seemed quite normal. There wasn't such a large sea of pink flowers.
He was about to open the communicator to check again when he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The car seemed a little too quiet.
He looked up, only to find that everyone was asleep, even Fu Fenglin, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had her head down on the console.
The suspended car can be set to automatic driving, so it doesn't matter if the driver falls asleep, but it's too strange that everyone fell asleep in such a short while.
Gu Xingmian's ominous premonition became more and more serious, and he walked to Xiao Qiong, wanting to wake him up.
But at this moment, he saw a sea of pink flowers in front of the car, and the obstacle avoidance system of the suspended car was not activated at all, and it crashed straight into the sea of flowers.
Gu Xingmian was startled and hurried to the console, trying to stop the car, but it was too late.
The suspended car rushed into the sea of flowers at a rapid speed.
The car body shook slightly, and then it was surrounded by pink.
Gu Xingmian stood unsteadily, and fell backwards. His head hit the edge of the table, and his eyes went dark and he passed out.
Gu Xingmian was not dizzy for too long, and soon woke up again.
He opened his eyes and saw Gugu's worried look.
Seeing him wake up, Gugu excitedly "cooed", and then the rest of the God Cards gathered around.
Gu Xingmian sat up, rubbing the back of his head that was slightly painful.
In the car, the card masters were still lying crookedly, and the God Cards that were originally in the spiritual body ran out.
Outside the car window, there was still a large area of pink.
Gu Xingmian was feeling uneasy, and Xiao Qiong and the others looked as if they were haunted by a dream, with extremely painful expressions.
Gu Xingmian tried to wake them up, but pushing them hard, pinching their philtrum, or splashing water on them had no effect at all, and their cards could not return to their spiritual bodies.
Gu Xingmian tried to drive away, but the suspension car seemed to have malfunctioned and could not be started at all.
He hesitated for a moment and decided to get out of the car to take a look.
He left a few God Cards in the car to protect the card masters, and then got out of the car with the other cards.
As soon as he opened the car door, he found himself trapped in a bush of flowers. He had thought that the flowers were only as high as his calves before, but now he realized that the flowers were actually very high, reaching up to his waist.
The elegant floral scent lingered around, not too strong or too weak, and quite pleasant to the touch.
But Gu Xingmian did not dare to let his guard down at all, and he asked Gugugu to release spores to see what was happening around him.
However, according to the scene transmitted by the spores, the surroundings were all filled with such a pink sea of flowers, but this sea of flowers also had boundaries, but the boundaries were the same as the pink flower wall they had broken into before, and the spores could not get close at all.
Gu Xingmian's heart sank slightly.
The God Cards were also a little flustered, crowding around Gu Xingmian.
Gu Xingmian whispered to comfort them, in fact, he was also a little flustered in his heart, because he used to be with everyone, and with Xiao Qiong there, he felt at ease, but now everyone was dizzy, and he was the only one left.
He not only had to save himself, but also his sleeping friends.
Gu Xingmian gritted his teeth and walked forward.
His body brushed against the flowers, making a rustling sound.
Gu Xingmian walked forward for a while and suddenly realized something was wrong.
He lowered his head and looked at the flowers that were about to bloom. He remembered that when he was in the car, he had seen these flowers before, and they were all buds, but now looking at them...why did the petals seem to have opened up a little?
Gu Xingmian's body froze.
Gugu was a little puzzled as to why he didn't move on: "Gujigu?"
Gu Xingmian was about to explain, when suddenly, the flower in front of him actually bloomed.
The pink petals unfolded one by one, like the hem of a skirt.
And in the center of the flower, there lay a thumb-sized girl. She was wearing a pink skirt, had long pink hair, and had fair skin that seemed as if it could be blown away. There was a pink stamen on her back, connecting her to the flower.
Just when Gu Xingmian was shocked, the thumb girl slowly opened her eyes. Her pupils were also pink, and they overlapped like flower buds. When
she saw Gu Xingmian, she was immediately furious. She picked up the small bow and arrow next to her and shot an arrow at Gu Xingmian.
Gu Xingmian couldn't dodge in time, and the needle-thin arrow shot into his flesh. He twitched in pain, and then gritted his teeth to pull out the arrow.
"That..."
Before he finished speaking, the thumb girl shot an arrow at him again. This time Gu Xingmian dodged, but at the same time, the flowers that were about to bloom bloomed, and the petals unfolded, revealing the same thumb man inside.
Their hairstyles and clothing styles are different, but without exception, they are all pink.
Their weapons were different, but just like the thumb girl before, they attacked him indiscriminately.
Gu Xingmian: “!!!”
Fortunately, his training these days was quite effective, and it was not difficult to dodge these attacks. The problem was that these flowers kept blooming, and more and more villains attacked them.
And those weapons looked small, but they could hurt them.
Several God Cards were beaten and cried, and even a hard hammer like Harman left a lot of marks.
Gu Xingmian looked at the pink flowers all over the mountains and knew that this would not work, so he called all the God Cards to run towards the car.
Behind them, countless pink flowers bloomed, but countless villains attacked them.
Fortunately, Gu Xingmian and his friends did not leave the suspended car too far, and they ran there quickly.
He quickly opened the car door and rushed into the car with all the God Cards, then turned around and closed the door tightly.
Almost at the same time, countless attacks fell on the suspension car like raindrops, making crackling sounds, and even the body of the car was slightly shaken by the attacks.
Gu Xingmian looked through the car window and saw the flower stems holding the flowers high up, and the fierce and evil little men with bared fangs and claws covered the sky like locusts.
Gu Xingmian was terrified and was glad that he decisively returned to the car at that time, otherwise he would probably be torn to pieces by this group of little men.
The little men's attacks lasted for about ten minutes.
Fortunately, the suspension car was strong and withstood this wave of damage.
Although they escaped the attack, they were trapped in the car, where
those villains were waiting for them eagerly.
Just when Gu Xingmian was hesitating about what to do, the car body shook again. He rushed to the car window and found that the originally flat ground was actually shaking, sending them towards the edge of the flower wall.
The ground was shaking very quickly, and it reached the edge of the flower wall in almost the blink of an eye, and there was no intention of stopping.
So Gu Xingmian could only watch the suspended car pass through the flower wall.
Behind the flower wall was also pink, but it was pink grass, without those pink flowers and little people.
Gu Xingmian lay by the window and waited for a while, and found that there was no danger.
He tried the operating table again, and there was still no response.
But at this moment, Fu Fenglin, who had been lying on the operating table, moved.
Gu Xingmian was surprised and said, "A-Lin, you're awake?!"
Fu Fenglin raised his head, and Gu Xingmian was shocked to find that his pupils had turned into pink flowers like those little people.
Fu Fenglin completely ignored him, stood up and walked towards the car door.
Gu Xingmian turned around and found that the others were also like Fu Fenglin, and were about to get out of the car with an expressionless face. Fortunately, the car door was locked by him, so they couldn't get out.
However, Eric, who was standing in the front, punched the car door. His fist collided with the hard car door, making a dull sound.
Eric seemed to be completely unaware of the pain. His fist was bleeding, but he didn't feel anything and continued to hammer the car door.
Harman was so angry that he hammered him on the head several times, but failed to stop him.
Gu Xingmian instinctively felt something was wrong and shouted, "Naya!"
The snowy owl flapped its wings and cast a frost spell, temporarily freezing them.
Gu Xingmian frantically took out a bundle of ropes and tied them up with a few God Cards.
The other cards also worked in harmony under Gu Xingmian's command.
The snowy owl Naya was responsible for replenishing frost spells to freeze them at any time, Amu grabbed the collars of several people and threw them onto the seats, and the zipline would lengthen itself when the ropes were not enough, and tie people up instead of ropes.
Fortunately, their struggling strength was about the same as that of ordinary people, otherwise, if it were an ordinary Xiao Qiong, it would be estimated that one person would knock them all down.
After finally tying up everyone, Gu Xingmian was already sweating profusely.
He looked at the flower-like pupils of the crowd with some worry. The rope could only be tied for a while. If he wanted to save them, he had to find out the reason why they became like this and solve it thoroughly.
So, he still left a few cards to take care of them, picked Gugu, Haman, Naya and Ella, and got out of the car again. When he
opened the car door, the familiar floral scent came again.
Gu Xingmian's feet stepped on the pink grass, and it felt soft, as if the soil underneath was very loose.
He closed the car door, letting Gugu release only a few spores, which slowly flew around.
Not long after, a figure appeared in the image transmitted by a spore. Like Xiao Qiong and the others, his pupils turned into pink flowers, and he walked in one direction like a zombie.
Soon, other spores also transmitted similar images.
Gu Xingmian frowned slightly, then chose the nearest person and followed him.
Slowly, more and more people gathered around.
Everyone walked in silence on the pink grass, which was weird and scary.
Suddenly, Gu Xingmian found that the color of the grass under his feet seemed to be slowly getting darker.
If the little people on the outermost layer were the lightest tender pink, then after they passed the second flower wall, the grass they saw was a darker peach pink, and now the grass under his feet had gradually turned into a rouge pink that was close to red.
He looked into the distance, and under his feet was like a carpet of gradually changing colors. The deeper he went, the darker the color became, and it turned into
a deep red at the very back. At first, he thought that the deep red was also grass, but soon, he saw a person walking into the deep red, and his body was slowly sinking. It turned out to be a deep red swamp.
And in the center of this deep red swamp, a new color suddenly appeared.
A figure with black hair and snowy skin knelt in the center of the red swamp. He lowered his head, and his long black hair was scattered behind him and floating on the swamp. He was wearing a snow-white long-sleeved shirt, and his figure was graceful and pure.
But in this terrible environment, this incompatible purity made Gu Xingmian's heart tighten.
At this moment, when a man was halfway through the crimson swamp, the pink flower in his pupil suddenly became unstable, constantly switching between pink and the original color.
He seemed to wake up for a moment, and found himself in such an environment. He was so scared that he screamed and was about to run away.
However, the crimson swamp suddenly surged, and a white thing like a silk thread stretched out from the swamp, piercing into the man's body at lightning speed, and then rolled him up and dragged him above the crimson swamp.
The man begged for mercy in fear, but it didn't work at all.
The white silk thread wrapped around him tightly, and the thing at the top that looked like a head overflowed with milky white liquid, which melted the skin and flesh the moment it touched the human body.
In less than a second, a living person turned into a ball of red flesh and blood, and fell "plop" into the deep red swamp below.
However, there was no smell of blood at the scene, only the elegant fragrance of flowers.
Gu Xingmian covered his mouth tightly, and he finally understood what the deep red swamp was made of.
He tried to suppress his dizzy head and forced himself to calm down.
He went over all the scenes along the way in his mind.
Xiao Qiong and the others should have been tricked when the pink flowers appeared, and it was most likely because of the fragrance, because before they smelled the fragrance, they didn't seem to see the pink flowers on the roadside.
Then they passed through the flower wall and entered the pink sea of flowers. All the humans were dizzy. Although the cards were fine, their spirits were ejected and they had to face the attacks of the pink little people in the flowers.
The little people looked small, but their attack power was not weak. Most importantly, they were everywhere in the mountains. If they hadn't had the suspension car, they might have died there. Then they
passed through the second flower wall.
The soft grass under their feet, Gu Xingmian also roughly guessed what it was made of.
He tried hard to suppress the surging acid.
If you think of these as a giant hunting plant, the fragrance of the flowers attracts prey, the pink figures filter out danger, and the white silk-like things digest the prey. If it is not eliminated, there will be a steady stream of people falling into the trap and becoming the food for this plant.
But Gu Xingmian did not act hastily. He observed and found that those white silk-like digestive organs could only move around that figure and protected him implicitly.
It seems that the kneeling figure should be the key to solving the problem.
Gu Xingmian put the mushroom in a safe place and let it release the spores, slowly flying above the crimson swamp. The blue spores flew very low, and indeed attracted the attention of those white silks.
Countless white threads stretched out from the swamp to catch the spores, but were stung by the poison released from the spores.
At this time, the snow owl's frost spell was cast at the same time, and countless white threads were frozen unexpectedly.
Although it was only a moment, Gu Xingmian had already glided towards the figure in the center.
With the help of the wind blade, Ella had already approached the opponent in this moment.
Gu Xingmian hung upside down on Ella's claws, holding Harman in both hands.
The figure in the center seemed to sense the danger and suddenly raised his head. There were no facial features on that face, only countless bright red mouthparts, which was very scary.
"What an ugly thing!"
Gu Xingmian hammered it hard without hesitation.
Harman's attacking power is not to be underestimated. With just this one blow, the opponent's skull was cracked and most of the mouthparts were also smashed to pieces.
The thing screamed immediately, and countless white silks returned to defend angrily, spraying that milky white liquid towards Gu Xingmian. As
soon as the liquid touched Gu Xingmian's body, it immediately melted the skin on it, revealing the bright red flesh underneath. The severe pain made his body tremble slightly.
However, he did not run away, but threw Harman onto Ella's back, jumped down, grabbed the thing's neck, took out a dagger with his other hand, and stabbed it fiercely along the hole.
Countless blood flowed out along the hole, but Gu Xingmian did not blink, and his hands did not shake.
He knew he only had one chance, he had to protect Xiao Qiong! Protect his teammates!!
His eyes became sharp instantly, and the dagger in his hand stabbed into the center of the place with great efficiency, and then fiercely twisted it.
"Ahhhh————"
The mouthparts on it made sharp screams at the same time, as if a string of fine needles pierced into Gu Xingmian's mind.
The double pain of mind and body made Gu Xingmian's face become more and more miserable, and he could no longer support himself and passed out.
But before he passed out, he seemed to see the bright starry sky again.
