Chapter 15: Heavy Fog on Kongping Mountain
Shen Peirong was shocked. The value was 30 ten minutes ago. How could it increase by 20 in just ten minutes?
Both she and Shen Lingyu saw heaviness in each other's eyes, so they quickly opened the box and quickened their movements.
The two of them took out gloves and put them on, carefully protecting their fingers.
Shen Peirong raised her hand to grab the shovel, but was grabbed by Shen Lingyu.
"Grandma, let me do it."
Shen Peirong immediately rejected the idea, "I'd better do it. It's too dangerous."
Shen Lingyu immediately freed one hand, grabbed the shovel and took it out at a rapid speed.
"Grandma, you have to give me a chance. I've always been following you, so I, a young man, should also perform well."
Her tone was relaxed, but her face was not relaxed at all.
Shen Peirong calmed down, withdrew her hand and patted her shoulder.
"Okay, grandma will be here to watch over you."
She gave up her position, put her hand on the hilt of the sword, and stared at the roots of the human-faced tree vigilantly.
Shen Lingyu took a deep breath, then held the shovel with both hands and walked to a place not far from the tree roots. He stared at the part where the tree roots and the soil touched, and slowly extended the shovel over.
The people watching the surveillance video were all nervous and watched every move intently.
The moment the sharp surface of the shovel touched the tree root, there was a sudden ding sound, and the shovel hit a hard wall and could not move forward any further.
Shen Lingyu clenched the shovel again and exerted force, veins popped out under his gloves and his forehead throbbed.
She used all her strength to force the shovel into the soil. After feeling the resistance inside, she hurriedly pulled it horizontally to the left.
“Crack!”
Cracks appeared on the surface of the shovel, and the roots of the man-faced tree were broken where they connected to the soil.
Shen Lingyu raised his hand quickly, pulled out the shovel, and threw the broken human-faced tree root far away.
The two looked at the fallen tree root and waited for two minutes to find that it had not changed. Instead, the cross-section of the broken root was suddenly stained red by red juice.
The next second, the place where they were standing shook, and a sound similar to a baby crying came from under the tree stump.
Then a large amount of red liquid that was not blood came out, dyeing the ground under Shen Lingyu's feet red.
Everyone's expression changed as they watched the wood molecule value on the monitor soar.
In just a few seconds, the molecules soared from fifty to one thousand, and then directly rose to fifteen thousand in the sight of several people.
Shen Peirong shouted, "Come back quickly, the wood molecules have increased."
Shen Lingyu turned a deaf ear to him and quickly turned the shovel over, using the unbroken part of the other side to insert it into the ground and quickly dig a hole in the soil.
The crying sound suddenly became louder, and a crack appeared in the pit, slowly splitting with her as the center.
......
The ground was shaking more and more obviously, and the birds in the woods scattered. Lin Jin looked up in confusion from the tree, then jumped to the ground to feel the vibration.
"An earthquake?"
"What happened? An earthquake?"
"Earthquake! Impossible? We are not in an earthquake zone."
"It's not an earthquake. There was no warning on my phone. I guess some kind of machine is working nearby."
The crew members who had just climbed halfway up the mountain were startled when they heard the earthquake.
Someone hurriedly took out his mobile phone and opened the official account of the China Earthquake Network. Seeing that they had not reported the earthquake, they gave everyone a shot of confidence.
"I was so scared. How could there be an earthquake here? I almost wanted to run away."
The staff felt relieved and quickly set up the filming equipment, set up the scene and prepared to start shooting the second half of the advertising plan.
The first half was shot of the flower wall by the water, and in the second half they were going to shoot natural scenery in the forest.
The biggest selling point of Qiao Ying’s advertisement is nature, so they spent a lot of time setting up the scene in the second half.
There are flowers with butterflies flying around, a dreamlike forest that seems like a fairy tale, animals that are well versed in human nature, and a stream that looks like the Milky Way.
In order to achieve authenticity, the director spent a lot of money to find some docile animals to help Qiao Ying shoot the commercial.
Lin Jin moved to another tree not far from them and sat on a branch, staring at Cheng Lilian who was not far from her with an uneasy look.
She still followed her inner decision and stayed. Since she already knew that Wen Siqi might be a participant in the letter, she could go find him anytime.
Lin Jin felt that she would definitely regret it if she missed the information provided on the scene today.
So she kept going back and forth between Cheng Lilian and Qiao Ying, trying to find some clues from them.
After looking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out what it was. Just when Lin Jin was doubting herself, she suddenly noticed that the forest, which was clear just now, was now covered with fog.
Thick fog quickly enveloped the forest, and the white smoke was so confusing that in a moment, no one could be seen and only vague sounds could be heard.
......
Shen Lingyu dug on the ground several times, and finally the soil he brought out was no longer bright red, and no tree roots flew out.
The cracks in the ground stopped splitting when they extended to Shen Peirong's feet, and the small tremor that had just been caused also stopped. The birds that had flown away came back, and the red juice on the tree stump merged into the ground and turned into dark red soil.
Shen Lingyu put the soil next to his nose and sniffed it, and was relieved when he saw that there was no smell of blood.
She turned to Shen Peirong and reported, "Grandma, the crisis is over. Can you monitor and see if the wood molecules have decreased?"
Shen Peirong did not respond to her words, but her pupils shrank and her face trembled as she pointed behind Shen Lingyu.
"No, the crisis is not resolved, it came out?"
“Ding ding!”
As the words fell, the detector in Shen Peirong's hand suddenly sounded a violent alarm. A red dot flashed on it, and the value soared from fifteen thousand to three thousand in an instant.
Until the value reached the critical line of the instrument, with a bang, the high-precision Five Elements Mysterious Instrument Disk was scrapped.
The fog was thick and the scenery in front of me disappeared in the blink of an eye. The baby's crying sounded again, this time clearer.
The hairs on Shen Lingyu's back stood up, and he immediately turned sideways and rolled.
A silver light fell, and a brown branch fell where she had just been. Her right arm was struck with severe pain, and then red blood oozed out.
Looking up, a figure about the same size as a tree appeared in the fog.
It was huge, waving several things that looked like whips or vines, dancing wildly in the fog. The branch mentioned earlier was its work.
Shen Lingyu was horrified, and stood up quickly, raising his sword and pointing it at the center of the white mist.
"Oh my god, what is that? Hurry up and notify someone to come over quickly."
"No, there's fog in the woods. All signals are gone. Hurry up and call the satellite phone for help."
"I can't see the director and the others, is anything going to happen?"
"Oh no, the number of wood molecules has exceeded 3,000. Find a solution quickly!"
A heavy fog arose on Kongping Mountain and the director disappeared in the fog. All the people who stayed at the base were panicked.
A group of people quickly called the headquarters and asked them to mobilize firepower as soon as possible.
It’s bad news, the roots of the human-faced tree have turned into a demon!
