Gu Qi and He Zhuo carried Ji Xian and ran all the way, and only stopped after they were sure it was safe.
The two men let go of Ji Xian, supported themselves on their knees and gasped heavily, sweat dripping down their chins.
He Zhuo panted and teased: "Old Ji, your legs haven't even touched the ground, how come you can't catch your breath?"
Ji Xian touched the purple and red marks on his neck and said in a hoarse voice: "That damn thing... almost strangled my soul..."
Lu Nange handed everyone a bottle of mineral water. When handing water to Ji Xian, he asked, "Did it attack you suddenly just now?"
Ji Xian unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip, and his Adam’s apple rolled: “While you were arguing, I moved and stepped on a soft root… and the next second I was entangled.”
Chi Yanzhou: "The tree is big and has deep roots. Its roots and branches are spreading all the time. As long as you step into its territory, the branches and leaves will immediately sense it, and then... strangle you."
Lu Xici: "So, the ground relies on the roots, and the air relies on the branches and leaves? All-round monitoring?"
He Zhuo: "This tree king is quite difficult to deal with!"
Macaw: "Bald...ugly...difficult to deal with."
"Gagaga!!!"
He can kiss my tough guy, but bald guys and ugly guys can’t... It’s so difficult!
......
Lu Nange gathered his spiritual power, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his eyelashes trembled slightly: "Not only that... the vines on its body can parasitize and control other plants, making them all become its nerve endings, or puppets."
Chi Yanzhou: "Then the plants we encountered on the way into the city were all its tentacles?"
Lu Nange's eyes reflected the strange swaying shadows of the trees in the distance: "Nine out of ten."
Gu Wan crossed his arms: "In other words... all the plants in Jiayu are its spies?"
Chi Yi suddenly said: "Miss Lu, if... we don't touch it directly, will it not be able to find us?"
Lu Nange: "That's right! Just like when we enter the city at night, avoid all the plants and it won't attack us.
There are too many of us. Gangzi will carry me to avoid the ground and the air and explore inside first. You guys wait for me here?"
Silence spread through the team.
Lu Nange took out a few more telescopes, one for each person.
She touched Lu Beiye's head and said, "Just keep an eye on me here. Don't worry, I promise I will run faster than a rabbit if I encounter danger."
"Gangzi!"
The macaw immediately puffed up.
It habitually tried to bite Lu Nange's collar from behind - Lu Nange grabbed its claws, used the force to leap up, and swiftly climbed onto the bird's back.
"Ga--!" The macaw protested by flapping its neck feathers, and the air currents created by the flapping of its wings kicked up the dust on the ground.
Its orange eyes squinted at the girl on its back: [Alright, you are my favorite human cub!]
When the macaw folded its wings, it deliberately turned its sharp wingtips outward, carefully avoiding Lu Nange's hanging calves.
Lu Nange: "Aye, don't worry, sister will be here soon!"
Lu Beiye nodded so slightly that it was almost invisible, and his clenched fists were hidden behind his back.
The macaw spread its wings and carried Lu Nan Ge towards the twisting and wriggling tree shadows in the center of the city.
The air was filled with the stench of rotting plants. The closer you got, the more you could see the branches wriggling as if they were alive.
"Gangzi, stop lower!" Lu Nange patted Gangzi's hair lightly.
The macaw folded its wings and hovered at a safe distance from the trunk.
The entire road is completely occupied by huge trees.
The tree canopy blocks out all sunlight, and the roots are tangled on the ground.
Countless vines, like intertwined blood vessels, wrap around the trunk layer by layer.
Only through the gaps between the movement of these "blood vessels" can you glimpse the dark tree trunks inside.
What Lu Nange was certain of was that the tree sensed its prey solely through touch.
Sight, hearing, smell, nothing.
She took out her intercom and said, "I'm going to light a fire and see what happens. The big tree might attack indiscriminately. You guys step back and keep an eye on your surroundings."
"Put it away." Chi Yanzhou's voice was mixed with the noise of electricity: "Nannan, be careful."
"Sister, be careful."
"Sister, be careful!"
I patted the bird's back to signal it to retreat, and the macaw flapped its wings very gently.
Because it had been told that the closer it got, the quieter the noise it had to make, otherwise it would become a dead bird.
Retreating to a distance where he could escape, Lu Nange took out gasoline and a plastic bag from the space.
The plastic bags filled with gasoline drew parabolas in all directions.
As soon as it touched the vines, it was instantly crushed.
The transparent bag burst, and gasoline dripped onto the tree trunk, emitting a pungent smell.
The goal was achieved, Lu Nange patted Gangzi.
Gangzi continued to retreat a farther distance.
