Suddenly, someone seemed to step on something while walking. He subconsciously swung the knife in his hand and chopped it down with all his strength. "Shua la la la la." A series of rapid dragging sounds of rough objects were heard immediately.
Everyone used their lighting equipment to look at the feet of the person who had just made the sound. At this moment, he was stepping on a small piece of something that looked like a zombie's arm, and also like a branch.
From the outside, it looks like the bark of a vine tree, which is rough and tough. It is even the same color as the stone forest, making it difficult to distinguish. However, its cross-section does not look like a plant at all. The blood vessels and nerves are all clearly visible. Even the small piece that was cut off is still dripping liquid.
Huang Xiongwei asked someone to seal the thing and hand it over to experts to study what it was. After reminding everyone to pay attention to safety, he set off again.
However, this time, unlike the relaxed atmosphere just now, everyone was more cautious and careful.
This small piece that was accidentally cut off is enough to show that there is something in this stone forest, even something scary.
The people who had just disappeared inexplicably were probably captured by this thing, or even died directly. Everyone knew the danger, but there was no way to retreat, so they could only stick together and continue to move forward.
Everyone's heart was in their throat and they were extremely nervous. However, the more nervous they were, the more likely they were to make mistakes. If they were not careful, someone would fall to the ground, and many people behind them would fall down with them.
This fall is not a big deal. What is important is that the "swish" sound just now rang out again, directly sucking away the blood and all the liquids in the body of the person who fell first and fell on the stone wall.
A 5'8" tall man weighing over 200 kilograms was instantly reduced to a dried-up corpse. A person not far away watched as the man's flesh began to weather at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, it had become a thing that almost merged with the stone wall. In just a moment, the horrifying scene before him drove him mad.
“Ahhhhhhhhh, help, help, help, help, help, help, help, help.”
He immediately unleashed all the potential in his body and began to scream, as if he had seen something unbelievable. Everyone could accept that earthquakes, tides, floods, and even extreme heat and cold could occur due to problems in the universe or in Earth's orbit. But who could tell him what this thing was? It sucked all the liquid nutrients out of a person...
Blood, water, body fluids, bone marrow...even the nutrients in the cells!!!!!!!!! No matter who saw this scene, it would be difficult to maintain a positive attitude! How could they not go crazy?
But his scream was of no use. It seemed that the thing that was stimulated became even more excited. Countless vine tentacles began to attack humans. In an instant, countless people became decorations or nutrients of the stone forest.
But some of the more agile ones had already loaded their guns and started shooting at the vines attacking them.
But this vine seemed to have eyes, and it could move directly towards the target, and it seemed to have no effect when bullets hit it.
At this moment, someone shouted, "Use fire! Quick! Fire overcomes wood! Everyone, hurry up and use whatever you have to light a fire."
Although the guards did not bring any fire-making equipment, the troops led by Huang Xiongwei were well-equipped. They immediately understood what was going on, took out a stone from their sleeves, and scratched the clothes they had taken off twice, and fire appeared.
When everyone saw this, they began to wrap flammable materials around the gun barrels and set them on fire to make torches.
After a while, torches appeared in the stone forest. The monster's tentacles still wanted to try to attack everyone, but after being burned by the fire several times, it dared not try again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, counted the casualties, and then continued on their journey with torches.
Is it hot holding a torch in 60 degrees Celsius? Of course it is! Very hot! !!!
But there's nothing I can do! No matter how hot it is, it's better than having my blood sucked dry by a monster.
You can die in battle, you can die in search of food, but no one wants to become nutrients for the stone forest.
Soon, everyone walked out of the stone forest smoothly. The sky began to brighten, and everyone suddenly realized that they were in a deep pit.
Continuing forward, a huge crack appeared in the deep pit. The good news is that there are traces of human activities next to the crack, proving that there may have been surviving humans here in the past and even now.
After completely leaving the stone forest, everyone started to set up camp next to the crack. During this half night, a group of people were lost, and the previous battle had indeed caused great losses.
While setting up camp and preparing to rest, they also found a lot of flammable materials, surrounded the camp, and lit a few sparks.
At this time, everyone was overwhelmed by fear and didn't even feel that it was comfortable and cool here.
However, Xiao Yi, who was still in the stone forest, naturally saw their fight not far away. This thing even wanted to sneak attack Xiao Yi, but was nailed to the side by Xiao Yi's arrow dipped in kerosene and ignited.
Xiao Yi was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he directly sprinkled all the remaining kerosene on it. The gorgeous flames immediately began to spread along the vines, and soon, flames appeared in the stone wall.
Xiao Yi had no intention of letting it go, so he followed the firelight, but only found a "tree" with only half of its body left.
