In winter, night falls very quickly. It's just past four o'clock and it's already completely dark.

The Saxon army that had just arrived here obviously had no intention of advancing overnight.

As soon as I saw that it was getting dark, I quickly found a suitable place and settled down temporarily.

After nightfall, light snow fell in the sky. At night when the moon and stars could not be seen, we could only rely on the lights of the camp to bring some light to the night.

The night patrol consists of a group of ten, fully armed mechanized infantry carrying rifles, performing night patrol missions in the snow.

The cold wind was howling, mixed with snowflakes, and many Saxon soldiers couldn't help but shrink their necks.

Although the winter temperature in this grassland is far less terrifying than that in bitter cold places, it is still very cold for the Saxon soldiers, especially after nightfall, when the cold wind is biting.

"Hell, how long until it's time to change shifts?"

"What are you thinking about? It's only been thirty minutes."

After looking at the time, the captain of the patrol team said something speechless.

Being on duty in the ice and snow is simply a nightmare. Coupled with the erosion of sleep, I can't get through it without saying a few words.

Several patrolling soldiers were chatting while following the confirmed patrol route and walking leisurely.

At this moment, a Saxon soldier heard a faint sound in his ears. At that moment, he subconsciously picked up the rifle in his hand and looked around.

"There is movement."

Three simple words made the soldiers on the patrol tensed up.

However, everyone looked around in the snow several times, but found nothing.

This made the captain of the patrol team couldn't help but confirm it...

"Are you sure you heard movement? It wasn't the wind or something?"

In response, the soldier was silent for two seconds, as if confirming his judgment.

After all, the sound of the howling cold wind at night was also very noisy. Listening from a distance, it sounded like a ghost crying. It seemed that it was not completely impossible that my ears had misheard it.

But in the end, he shook his head, and then there was a hint of certainty in his tone...

"It wasn't the wind. Not only did I hear movement at that time, but at the same time, out of the corner of my eye, I seemed to catch a glimpse of something moving, right over there."

As he spoke, the soldier pointed to the snowy field in the distance.

Although they were chatting at that time, as regular army soldiers who had received rigorous training, their attention was obviously not focused on the content of the chat.

It is placed on vigilance and inspection of the surrounding area.

Therefore, the patrol captain did not look down upon his subordinate's answer. After thinking about it for a while, he quickly said...

"You two come with me to confirm the situation. Others, watch from behind and pay attention to the lighting."

"yes!"

After a simple division of labor, the patrol leader led the two soldiers towards the snow.

They remained vigilant, walking very slowly and steadily, leaving steady footprints on the snow.

The rifle was always held up and could be fired at any time. The tactical flashlight fixed on the rifle swept back and forth across the snow in the distance, and the patrol leader frowned slightly.

"In the past, if there were enemies hiding nearby, they would definitely leave footprints on the snow, but there is nothing here."

As he spoke, the patrol leader held his rifle and shined his tactical flashlight into the distance.

About less than ten meters away from where they were now, there were two big bare trees.

But along the way, there were two trees growing in the wild. Is that a strange thing? Moreover, they had seen and confirmed these two big trees before, and there was nothing unusual about them.

However, just in case, the patrol leader walked over with two soldiers, then pulled out the dagger he carried with him and slashed twice at the main trunk of the big tree.

Then he looked back at the soldier who said he heard the noise. His posture seemed to say, 'Look, there is nothing.'

In response, the soldier was about to say something, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind them.

The three subconsciously picked up their rifles and looked back, only to see that at this moment, the other seven patrol soldiers who stayed behind to support them seemed to have been attacked by something.

"What is that? A long, snake-like thing?"

"How can there be snakes in winter?"

"Look at the snow around you, that thing seems to be sticking out of the snowdrift!"

The three people who realized this subconsciously looked towards the surrounding snow, and then when they saw the direction in which the unknown objects extended, their hearts froze at the same time.

At that moment, a huge sense of fear made them quickly pick up their rifles and point them behind them.

The moment they turned around, three bloody mouths protruded from nowhere, occupying their entire field of vision.

They didn't even have a chance to resist, and they were swallowed whole by the three bloody mouths on the spot.

The Saxon patrolmen who witnessed the entire process from a distance had horror in their eyes.

The two big trees that were originally bare turned into two leafy trees and three piranha plants at some unknown time. After swallowing the prey, the main body became obviously enlarged.

He slowly retracted into the lush branches and leaves of the tree man, ready to digest it.

At the same time, the two tree men were also wrapped with a large number of purple-black devil vines!

Obviously, under the cover of the main body, it was these devil vines that crawled into the snow along the main trunk and attacked the seven patrolling soldiers in the distance!

Devil's ivy, a special plant of the fairy civilization and a series of related projects, was Luo Ji's key upgrade. Obviously, he was very optimistic about this plant. After the level increased, he unlocked the enhanced item of devil's ivy, which has stronger neurotoxins.

.

Once an ordinary human being is entangled by devil's ivy and the poisonous sting pierces into the flesh, the entangled part will soon lose consciousness. Then, depending on the difference in physique, it only takes ten to twenty seconds for the poison to be eliminated.

It will spread throughout the body.

At the same time, the harder you struggle during this period, the faster the toxin will spread.

Nowadays, those soldiers have probably lost all their senses, their consciousness is close to blur, and they have long been unable to make a sound.

But unfortunately, this thing doesn't seem to be going smoothly...

Accompanied by two loud roars of 'enemy attack', the intensive gunshots of automatic rifles soon echoed in the snow.

At that time, they heard the noise and rushed to another patrol team nearby. They were firing wildly at the two tree men with a look of horror on their faces!
