Chapter 149: Deadly Flowers
"Dingdang, be damn careful. Don't touch these liquids. This thing will probably burn off a layer of your skin." The fat man was shocked when he saw me reaching out to touch it.
"Have you noticed that these vines are not ordinary plants, but eat meat. They will entangle their prey layer by layer, and then secrete acidic digestive juices to decompose the food bit by bit."
"But it has a weakness, that is, when it digests food, the vines will stop wrapping around it!" I said with some uncertainty.
At this moment, I could feel that the surface of the sleeping bag was wrapped in layers by countless vines, but it was not as tightly tightened as before, but instead relaxed a lot.
"Then what are you waiting for? Take advantage of this opportunity and leave quickly! The sleeping bag will melt if I drag it on any longer." Wang Yuanchao immediately understood my intention.
"No, how can we get out now? You can see the liquid around you is falling like rain. If you just go out like this, you will definitely be dripped with strong acid."
The fat man stopped him and pointed to the outside of the sleeping bag.
I took a look, and sure enough, as the fat man said, there was a burst of acid rain outside, and even the soil was corroded and small holes appeared.
Wang Yuanchao's face is also ugly. We have now reached the most dangerous moment!
There was pounding acid rain above our heads, and there were many vines around us, but the three of us only had one sleeping bag. If we were not careful, we would become someone else's meal.
Finally, I came up with a way to ask Wang Yuanchao and Fatty to hold up both sides of the sleeping bag. We used the sleeping bag as an umbrella and moved forward little by little.
After a lot of effort, we were able to get out of the vines.
But before I had time to breathe a sigh of relief, I discovered that around us for hundreds of meters, vines looked like spider webs, forming a three-dimensional space.
Many people were tightly entangled by these vines and hung in the air, like meat dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival.
"This is so damn cruel!" The fat man swallowed, then picked up the flashlight that fell on the ground and shined it towards the entangled people.
After just one glance, the tragic scene made my legs feel weak.
At this moment, those people were covered in blood and flesh. Leaving aside this, the scary thing is that their eyes were all wide open because of fear, and their mouths were also opened, and a trumpet-shaped flower popped out of each person's mouth.
colorful flowers.
I have learned a lot because it was the first time I saw a person’s mouth bloom!
Moreover, the bodies of those people had turned into human sticks, with all their limbs melted away by the strong acid, leaving only a mass of bloody flesh squirming among the vines.
The colorful flowers blooming from their mouths probably secrete strong acid.
I glanced at the sleeping bag that was thrown at my feet. At this moment, the surface of the sleeping bag was also wrapped with an extremely bright flower. Drops of mucus flowed out from the stamens, and the extremely tough sleeping bag had been melted into a thin layer.
Clothed.
I couldn't help but feel my heartbeat speed up a bit. If we stayed here just a little longer, maybe we would be like those corpses.
"Be careful with these flowers, they may be more difficult to deal with than vines." Wang Yuanchao reminded us from the side.
"Fat Master, I just don't understand. Where did these flowers come from? I didn't see them just now?" the fat man said with horror.
He looked around, but never found where those flowers came from.
"It is very likely that these colorful flowers will emerge to digest food only after the vines capture the food. Let's leave this place first! If these vines attack again, we will be in trouble..."
I looked at the extremely thick vines on the ground and couldn't help but feel a little scared. Once this thing moved, no one would be able to leave.
"Ding-dang Fatty, if you step on the vines, you can avoid the strong acid on the ground. These vines are very tough, so we shouldn't have much of a problem stepping on them."
Wang Yuanchao jumped on a vine, he tested it and said to us.
The fat man and I carefully stepped on the vines and walked forward as if we were crossing a single-plank bridge.
Along the way, we kept seeing these colorful little flowers, each flower growing out of the mouth of a corpse. Less than thirty meters forward, we saw three more dead people.
The fat man's face turned a little pale, but he had never seen such a bloody scene.
"Why are there dead people everywhere? How many foreigners are there?" The fat man changed the topic. This kind of purgatory-like scene would really make people crazy if they didn't change the topic.
"Not sure, but judging from the number of people, there are much more than we imagined."
Wang Yuanchao put down the telescope, then frowned and answered the fat man's words.
I also have some doubts, and I still clearly remember that when these vines were about to attack me, someone nearby clearly warned me.
I hesitated for a moment and then told the story.
"Yeah! I heard it too. The opponent's skills are quite powerful, otherwise he wouldn't be so close. I wouldn't even be able to feel his presence."
Wang Yuanchao replied.
"Is there internal strife among those foreigners? Otherwise, why would some want to kill us and some want to save us?" the fat man said as he walked.
Suddenly he let out a scream. It turned out that he had accidentally sunk his whole calf into the thick vines.
In an instant, the fat man's entire face became distorted, and the thorns on the vines were sharper than hooks, directly cutting through his pants and cutting several large gashes on his legs.
And what's even more troublesome is that, for some reason, the vines are starting to squirm again, and are no longer as still as before.
"No, these vines have sensed our presence!" I said in horror.
There are vines all around us now. Once these ghosts wake up, we will definitely die.
"Get the fat man's feet out first!"
Wang Yuanchao aimed at the fat man's feet and fired seven or eight shots in succession, breaking all the vines around the fat man, and then he and I pulled the fat man up.
"Slow down, it hurts me to death."
The fat man howled miserably. There was a bloody mess on his calf, which looked a bit miserable.
"Fat man, can I bandage it for you?" I said.
"Don't worry about this for now, get out of here quickly. Fatty doesn't have a habit of having flowers in his mouth." The fat man said while panting.
