Chapter five hundred and ninety-ninth ulterior motives
When the two of them disappeared into the jungle, Shen Long frowned and said, "You need two people to find some wood?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"They must be trying to say something in private that they don't want us to hear."
Dong Zhengyang sneered.
"kindness?"
Shen Long raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect them to change their ways. Do you want me to follow them and have a look?"
"Need not."
Dong Zhengyang waved his hand and said: "As long as it is a fox, its tail will show up sooner or later. Let's go, we will follow their wishes and go to the front to have a look."
The four of them got up one after another and walked slowly along the edge of the swamp.
at the same time!
Dongfang Wuhen and the two stopped next to a big tree. Murong Xiong turned around and glanced at the jungle behind him. When he saw no one was following him, he whispered: "This Qin Feiyang is really treacherous!"
"How can I see it?"
Dongfang Wuhen asked.
"You think so!"
"He lets us travel outside every day, while he stays in seclusion in the castle and enjoys the benefits."
"I think if this continues, I'm afraid his strength will surpass us."
Murong Xiong snorted coldly.
"His cultivation speed is indeed very fast, but it is absolutely impossible to catch up with us in such a short period of time."
"However, we really cannot let him continue to be in seclusion."
"I came to you just to discuss with you how to lure him out of the castle?"
Dongfang Wuhendao.
In fact, he has been looking for opportunities along the way.
However, the ferocious beasts they encountered on the way were not particularly strong, and they could easily deal with them with just a few of them.
It would obviously be unreasonable to let Qin Feiyang come out like this.
Think for a moment.
Murong Xiong's eyes lit up and he whispered: "I have a plan. If I'm lucky, I might be able to kill one or two."
"Say it."
Dongfang Wuhen was stunned for a moment, then became interested immediately.
Murong Xiong whispered in Dongfang Wuhen's ear, and Dongfang Wuhen's eyes gradually glowed with light.
Let’s talk about the four Dong Zhengyang people.
After walking for half an hour, I didn't find anything, so I turned back and returned to the place where I practiced last night.
It took half an hour to go back and forth.
Dongfang Wuhen and others are already waiting here.
There is a log next to him, which is more than 150 meters long. As for the thickness, I am afraid that several people holding hands cannot surround it.
"How about it?"
Seeing the four people coming back, Dongfang Wuhen asked with a smile.
"No gain."
Dong Zhengyang shook his head.
"It seems we can only cross over this swamp."
"But fortunately we were lucky. Murong Xiong and I found an ancient tree."
"I have measured this ancient tree and it is one hundred and fifty-two meters long. According to my observation, the distance between each earth bag is no more than one hundred and thirty meters."
"As long as there are no accidents, it will definitely be no problem to cross over."
Dongfang Wuhen pointed at the ancient tree beside him and smiled.
Dong Zhengyang looked at the ancient tree from beginning to end, nodded and said: "It is indeed sufficient, but I suggest that it is best to cut this ancient tree in two."
"Why?"
"Isn't this nice?"
Dongfang Wuhen is puzzled.
Murong Xiong nodded and said: "Yes, the whole tree is stronger than cutting it in half, right?"
"I suggest this for the sake of everyone's safety."
"Because one is cut into two, the sections on both sides are flat. Walking on a flat surface is definitely safer than walking on a round tree trunk."
"As for the strength, we can't consider it at all. Such a thick ancient tree, let alone split into two, even if it is split into pieces of firewood, you and I cannot step on it."
After Dong Zhengyang finished speaking, he took out a war sword from the Qiankun bag, raised his hand, and the sword energy was like a rainbow. With a click, the ancient tree was split into two halves on the spot.
But when the ancient tree was split open, Dong Zhengyang and the others suddenly frowned.
The middle part of the ancient tree is actually hollow!
"what happened?"
Dong Zhengyang suddenly raised his head and looked at Dongfang Wuhen and the two with extremely sharp eyes.
To know.
This is no small thing!
If the ancient tree is not split open now and the trunk is not hollow, then when the bridge is reached and passed over it, the trunk will break with just one force!
When the time comes, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Because the hollow position is in the middle, once it breaks, everyone will fall into the center between the two earth bags.
At that time, both sides were not touching the ground, and they were afraid that even gods coming down to earth would not be able to save them.
"We don't know either!"
Facing the aggressive gazes of Dong Zhengyang and the others, Dongfang Wuhen and the others were somewhat panicked.
Shen Long said in a deep voice: "You guys found this tree, don't you know?"
Dongfang Wuhen said anxiously: "We did find the tree, but we really didn't know it was hollow inside..."
Speaking of which.
Dongfang Wuhen suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked up at the four of them, and said, "Are you suspecting that it was me and Murong Xiong who did this?"
"Is not it?"
"Hollow out the tree trunk. When we pass by, you can make us fall into the swamp and be in a different place with just a few moves."
"I was originally wondering why you two had objections when I proposed to cut the tree trunk in two. It turns out it is because there is a mystery hidden in it."
"To be honest, I always believed that you have sincerely repented this time, but I never expected that you still have such wild ambitions!"
Dong Zhengyang was furious, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Dongfang Wuhen's face turned green and red. As soon as Dong Zhengyang finished speaking, he said angrily: "There is no excuse for wanting to accuse someone!"
Jiang Wei shouted: "The facts are before our eyes, how can this be called a crime?"
"good."
"Since you said that, let's tell the facts."
"If Murong Xiong and I want to hollow out the heart of a tree, do we have to break the bark first?"
Dongfang Wuhendao.
"That's right."
The four nodded.
Dongfang Wuhen said: "Then take a closer look at the bark at the hollow position. Are there any traces of being broken?"
The four of them took a closer look, and their eyebrows suddenly raised.
The bark is actually intact!
They also found that the hollow area seemed to have been eaten by ants, and was incomplete and the marks looked very old.
and.
After careful observation, it was found that the entire trunk was hollow in the middle, but it was very small and inconspicuous. I had never seen it before.
Seeing this, Dong Zhengyang and the others looked at each other, and it seemed that they had wrongly blamed Dongfang Wuhen and the others.
There are many insects such as ants in the swamp, and the heart of the tree should be the cause of the insect infestation.
Dongfang Wuhen smiled coldly and said, "What else do you have to say now?"
Dong Zhengyang frowned, cupped his hands and said, "Sorry, I was careless and misunderstood you."
"well!"
Dongfang Wuhen sighed deeply and said: "I don't mean to blame anyone. I just want to say that we are classmates and partners, and we should have more trust in each other."
Jiang Wei snorted coldly: "If you hadn't left us behind and escaped alone, how worried would we be now?"
"After all, it is indeed our fault."
"But now that we have repented, why should we still hold on to it?"
"Would this be beneficial to everyone?"
Dongfang Wuhen said sadly.
Shen Long said: "Okay, this matter is over now, let's find another ancient tree."
Murong Xiong said dissatisfied: "You go ahead this time, so as not to accuse us of tampering with you later."
The four of them looked at each other and walked into the jungle.
As soon as the four people left, Murong Xiong's face darkened and he said angrily: "This Dong Zhengyang really deserves to die!"
Dongfang Wuhen sent a message: "Keep your voice down, don't let them hear you."
Murong glanced at the jungle where Dong Zhengyang and the others disappeared, and said to himself: "What should we do now?"
"Just wait and see what happens."
Dongfang Wuhen said something secretly, then turned around and looked at the endless swamp, his eyes flickering.
This matter is actually not that simple.
Although the heart of the tree was not hollowed out by them, it was done deliberately by them!
In other words.
This ancient tree was specially found by Dongfang Wuhen and his two men.
The purpose is the same as Dong Zhengyang guessed. After the bridge is built, the ancient tree will break if you move it slightly when passing over it.
By then, even if all four of Dong Zhengyang cannot be killed, one or two can still be killed, and Qin Feiyang can be lured out at the same time, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But they didn't expect that Dong Zhengyang would come up with an ingenious idea and split the ancient tree in half, thus aborting their plan.
It would be a lie to say that I am not angry.
However, facing Dong Zhengyang and the other four, they could only endure it.
After a while.
The four of them walked out of the jungle.
Dong Zhengyang was carrying a thick ancient tree on his shoulders, which was similar to the ancient tree Dongfang Wuhen and the others found.
boom!
When he came to the swamp, Dong Zhengyang put down the ancient tree, and then took out his sword and cut it in half.
There are also hollows inside and some white ants, but they are not serious.
then.
Dong Zhengyang picked up the old tree, stood upright, and then slowly put it down towards the nearest earth bag in the swamp.
Bang!
With a low sound, the other end of the ancient tree gently landed on the earth bag, and the bridge was completed.
Dong Zhengyang stood up and wiped his sweat, looked at the bridge, turned to look at Shen Mei and the other five, and said in a deep voice: "Are you all ready?"
Once you step on this bridge, there will be no turning back.
"call!"
The five of them took a deep breath and nodded to Dong Zhengyang.
"Then come out!"
Dong Zhengyang waved his hand and took the lead, walking onto the bridge and walking towards the dirt bag on the opposite side.
Shen Mei and five others followed closely behind him.
From the beginning to the end, the six people's eyes were fixed on the swamp under the bridge, and they would immediately be alert to any slightest movement.
I don't know if it was because they were lucky or because there were really no ferocious beasts in the swamp, but they probably made it to the first bunker in a matter of seconds.
The soil bag was covered with shrubs and weeds, and the soil was a little soft, but it was still possible to stand on.
They didn't dare to be careless at all. After careful inspection and confirmation that there was no danger here, they looked for the next place to stay.
Shen Mei said: "Look, the small dirt bag on the left front is about 130 meters away from us. This ancient tree is just enough."
"Okay, let's go there."
Dong Zhengyang nodded, picked up the ancient tree again, and quickly built the bridge.
There was still no danger encountered along the way.
Next.
The six people passed through more than a dozen dirtbags in succession, and not a single vicious beast blocked the road.
