"What is this?" Lina was curious and was closest to the hanging tree. She was startled by the sudden situation. She couldn't help but take a step back and asked with a look of surprise: "It seems that if she is swallowed, even if she can hold on in a short time, she will be dragged into the ground. Her teammates can't even go to rescue her."

"What?" Panis shrugged and said, "It's a hanging tree."

"I know it's a weeping tree." Lina said with a headache: "I asked the one who came out just now. It looks like some kind of worm, but I have never seen a worm with such teeth, nor have I heard of it."

"Oh, that's the worm." Panis said nonsense, but soon regretted it: "Hey, calm down, that's really a worm, but I'm just named myself. They didn't have a fixed name, and they were usually demigods who want to call them casually."

"Hanging silk tree, hanging silk worm, can you be easier?" This time, even Eva, who was always expressionless, showed a little contempt in her eyes. Catherine muttered a few words in a low voice, suddenly remembering that this did not fit the image of a knight, and immediately coughed a few times and said, "So, are the thin silks on these trees spit out by those hanging silk worms for hunting?"

"No, the weeping tree is the weeping tree. All the silk threads are grown by the weeping tree itself." Panis shook his head and said, "Those weeping worms don't spit silk, they just wait underneath."

"But, I think the worm suddenly rushed out because it sensed the vibration of the silk thread." Catherine was halfway through her question, and suddenly she suddenly realized: "Is this also caused by a symbiotic state?"

"That's right, it's symbiosis." Panis nodded and said, "Actually, the hunting process is not over yet, you guys see..."

The position that Panis refers to is the ground within the range of the hanging silk tree. In the eyes of the girls, the calm ground that had just begun to rise and fall suddenly began to surging, as if there were animals drilling around below. However, when drilling back and forth, the parts of the ground that were occasionally exposed were allowed to the girls to know. It was not an animal at all, but the roots of the hanging silk tree. As the roots continued to pass through, the soil on the ground also moved. The several large holes created by the hanging silk worms when they rushed out of the ground were quickly covered by the surrounding soil. The ground looked like the land that had just been reclaimed. Except that the soil was more special because it had just turned up from below, there was no other difference from the surrounding environment.

However, this is not the end. After the plowing land, it suddenly seemed like a rain of fallen leaves under the hanging silk tree. Although there was no wind, a large number of fallen leaves automatically fell from the canopy, covering up the ground that had just been plowed by the tree roots. Now there is no difference from other grounds.

"No wonder these trees have so many meaningless leaves." Vivian habitually took out his notebook and quickly recorded everything he saw in front of him: "And Lina just discovered that the fallen leaves under the tree are relatively new, and this problem can be explained."

After the fallen leaves rain, the tucked silk tree returned to its previous calm. Everything seemed to have never happened. The thick shade and the soft fallen leaves looked peaceful and peaceful, making people unable to help but want to lie under the tree and rest for a while. If it weren't for witnessing it with your own eyes, no one would believe that there was an extremely dangerous place hidden here at all times. Any creature that was confused by the environment would usher in a tragic death within a few seconds.

"This is the characteristic of the weeping tree. They have a very strange symbiotic relationship with the weeping worms under the tree." After everything was over, Panis explained: "Each weeping tree has about ten weeping worms symbiotically. The weeping tree grows from the inside of the branches and hangs to the ground. These filaments extend through their bodies to the ground at the roots. The weeping worms usually use their tails to closely follow the filaments. Once the filaments vibrate, they will rush out of the ground from the corresponding part to swallow the prey. After they swallow the prey, the digested excrement is the best nutrient for the weeping tree. As for the subsequent aftermath, you will also see the weeping tree. "

"Their growth locations are also screened." Catherine looked back at the location where she stopped just now, and said with a little palpitation: "I deliberately chose this steep slope, which makes it easy for people to rush into the trap because they can't stop."

"You guessed it, the wrinkled silk trees usually only grow in two environments." Panis was bored and threw out a branch again. Let the wrinkled silk worms rush out of the ground in vain again: "One is what is now, growing at the end of the slope, and often lined up in a row, waiting for prey to rush down from the slope. This kind of wrinkled silk worms is relatively weak, and their targets are basically small monsters with smaller sizes. The other one can

Growing in slightly harsh environments, a relatively comfortable environment is formed in harsh areas. This kind of wavy tree is usually huge in size, and symbiotic wavy worms can sometimes even reach a diameter of eight meters. In fact, I doubt that such a large worm will not destroy the roots of the wavy tree underground? Or will the wavy tree leave a path for the worms to attack in advance? But I guess this question has no chance to be solved, and I don’t want to provoke these big worms again.”

"Haha, what I want to know most is how you came out of the worm's belly." Lina pushed Panis' arm with her elbow and asked teasingly: "Even if she is a demigod, it's not easy to climb out of such a deep underground. Tell us about her feelings at that time."

"Ahem, I'm so smart, how could it be swallowed?" Panis coughed again, deliberately erecting his chest and raising his head without looking at the girls' eyes, and said awkwardly: "I don't know that the flesh walls of worms are almost all over the walls, nor do I know that the nests they usually live in are more than 60 meters deep underground, nor do I know that they actually have no distinction between front and back. They can be used for heading on either side and eat on any side. Hahaha, I have never been swallowed, so how could I know this?"

"What a fool." Catherine slapped her forehead helplessly and sighed: "Stop being stupid anymore, how can we get through now? Are they moving only under the canopy of the silk tree, and will they come out from other places?"

"No, they have degenerated to the point where they can only rely on the silk threads of the hanging tree to sense the ground." Panis threw out another branch and shook his head, "As long as you don't touch the silk thread, you will never be attacked. Even if you pass under the tree, there will be no danger."

"Dear Mr. Pannis, do you like them very much? Is it so uncomfortable that you can't see them? Have your love for me transferred to them?" Seeing Pannis throwing out the branches for the fourth time, Freya couldn't bear it, holding her chest and said affectionately: "Don't give up on her love for me. Dear, I don't believe that it's worse than it. Why do you like them so much? Oops, Vivian, you knock me again."

"If you want to protest, he always gets these bugs out, just say it." The mage girl snorted coldly, turned her head and said, "Don't use these messy words to express it."

"Uh, I'm just cleaning the thread." Panis scratched his head, holding the fifth branch in his hand and finally didn't throw it out: "Just clear out a path without thread, we can pass it smoothly, so we don't have to take a detour from the side."

"How lazy are you?" Catherine said with a headache: "There are gaps between the nearby hanging silk trees. You can walk a distance of up to a few dozen meters. Is it necessary to make the problem complicated in this way? Wouldn't it be very dangerous if there are a few silk threads that are not cleaned up?"

"He just wants to make these bugs take revenge." Flar snatched the branches in Panis's hand and threw them aside, and said with a snicker: "Kyle, I find that you are becoming more and more vengeful now."

"Don't talk nonsense, I have no grudge against them, I just... Huh?" Panis still denied firmly, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the direction he came: "I actually followed."

"Oh, I didn't expect it." Flar also turned around and said in surprise: "This little guy actually violated his animal instinct. It seems that he really likes you."

"Who is following?" Catherine turned around and saw Panis approaching the same road along the hillside, with a despicable smile on her face, rubbing her hands and shouting, "Little scarf, have you finally figured it out. Do you want to contribute your tail to us? It just so happened that I felt a little cold at night. Oh, you bite me again, damn ingredients."

A golden figure nimblely stepped on Pannis' head and passed over his body. After several leaps, he had already come to Catherine and plunged into the arms of the knight girl, shaking her beautiful big tail hard. The water vapor in her dark eyes was hazy, as if tears could shed at any time. Her aggrieved expression made people feel heartbroken.

"Little Fox, why are you catching up?" Catherine was startled and held the little guy in her arms and stroked her to comfort her: "It's not that we don't want to play with you, but it's really too dangerous ahead, you'll be hurt."

"Aoao." Huanhu screamed a few times, his eyes turned around a few times, and suddenly grabbed the girl's scales and climbed onto her shoulders, squeezed a crack between the girl's back and backpack and drilled in. Only one head was exposed outside, and a smug scream came out.

"Haha, since it likes you so much, you can take it with you." The dwarf Konada laughed: "The little guy is so smart and has been living in the forest. His intuition about danger is sharper than you all. If he hides it well, there should be no problem."

"That's all." Catherine looked helpless, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
