In front of Shunzi, there is a row of very strange flowers. There must be about a dozen of these flowers. They are all put together and arranged in a semicircle, which can just fit the two of us in the middle.
Each flower is about two meters high. I have to look up to see it. The flowers are very big and pink, almost the size of a face plate. The middle part of the flower center is a bit strange, it is black, like an eagle.
It looks like claws, and there is some kind of mucus flowing down.
"Damn, I haven't seen it before. This flower is weird. Why is it so big?" This row of flowers seemed to have spirituality. When we stood in front of it, the flowers could actually move, just like wings.
It's just that the frequency of 'whispering and fanning' is relatively slow.
"This... this flower can actually move? It's so interesting and beautiful." Shunzi said softly, turning her head and smiling at me.
"Kind of like a tropical rainforest thing."
I planned to try touching the flowers. Just when I was about to reach out and touch them, someone suddenly grabbed my arm next to me. I turned around and saw it was Mr. Mai, "Don't move, this flower will kill you."
I'm going to die." Mr. Mai's expression was very serious, it seemed that the matter was not serious.
"Don't worry, I'm just touching the flower." I also know that this thing may be dangerous, and I will definitely not touch the heart of the flower.
Mai Lao looked around, then picked up a thick branch on the ground, "You two, get out of here quickly."
After the three of us exited the circle of strange flowers, Mr. Mai took a long branch and slowly touched the flower. When the branch just touched the flower, suddenly, the strange flower suddenly stretched forward, and its petals
Directly wrapped half of the branches in it.
At the same time, all the other strange flowers around him also made the same move, reaching out to the branches almost at the same time. Just like a poisonous snake attacking, Mai Lao fiercely pulled out the branches.
When the branch was pulled out, only half of it was left, and the remaining half was turning black little by little, as if it was burnt. Mr. Mai quickly threw away the remaining branch in his hand.
This row of strange flowers can actually corrode trees. This is simply too scary. Shunzi and I were both a little dumbfounded and stepped back. Even the plants in this ghost place are so scary. If Mr. Mai hadn't stopped me in time.
If so, I would probably have turned into black coal long ago.
After a while, these strange flowers returned to their original appearance. Only the center of the flower seemed to have more mucus flowing out than before. The flowers were still fanning slowly, as if nothing happened just now.
"Holy crap, this...is this a piranha?" Shunzi growled in fright.
Mai Lao turned to look at him and said, "This is not a flower, this should be an older plant. Now that we have reached the deepest part of the jungle, we must always be careful about the surrounding environment and do not touch any plants.
Maybe a certain plant can kill you."
Shunzi nodded with a pale face and said, "Oh, I know Mr. Mai, I won't touch it again, damn, this ghost thing is too scary."
Jenny and others also came over at this time. They must have noticed it just now, "What's wrong? What just happened?" Jenny looked at the strange flower not far in front of her and asked us a little confused.
"It's nothing, I just found a dangerous plant. Listen up, everyone, don't touch any plants around, or you may lose your life." I repeated what Mr. Mai said again. Is this damn island still hidden?
What are you wearing?
But Jiao Ba stood at the back of the crowd, his eyes always staring at the strange flower. His expression turned very bad, his evil eyes shone with an undetectable light, and he was so calm and unpredictable. I didn’t know if he was there again.
See what the problem is.
"This grass... seems to be raised by people." Chang Shan suddenly said this.
"Raised by humans? Are you kidding me? Besides, is this grass?" Shunzi asked confused.
"Oh, I'm just making a guess. Just pay attention to your safety." Chang Shan didn't explain too much, just said it in one sentence.
Mai Lao looked at the sky and said, "Okay, it's almost time to rest. Let's move on and try to reach the foot of the mountain before dark."......
A group of us continued to walk forward. I don’t know whether it was because of the excessive physical exertion or because the surrounding temperature began to rise. In short, it was very hot and we were sweating. The road in this jungle was very difficult to walk. It was very difficult for us to walk.
I barely had to crawl, the road was bumpy and bumpy, and my tired ankles were sore.
Jiao Ba walked relatively slowly along the way. He was always at the bottom. I was always worried that he would not be able to keep up, so I had to stop and call him from time to time. If he fell behind, it would be troublesome.
"I said, Lao Ba, can you fucking walk faster? You just finished your rest, why are you tired again?" I stopped, turned to look at him and said.
Jiao Ba walked over quickly, "I'm thinking about something. You can leave your adopted brother. Don't worry, I can't fall behind."
"What are you thinking about?" I felt something was wrong just now. The way he looked at the strange flower was very abnormal. Others couldn't tell it. I knew him too well.
"I'll tell you when I think of it. Let's go."
I didn't force him. When he wanted to say something, he would tell me naturally. After we walked for a while, Mr. Mai suddenly stopped. I was a little confused, what happened?
When I walked over, I saw that there was a small ditch under our feet. I don’t know how long this ditch was. There were no ends on both sides. Could the water in the ditch lead to the sea?
, I don’t know whether it is a dead river or a living water, I still don’t know.
It's just that the width of the ditch can be seen at a glance. It's about twenty meters away and you can reach the jungle on the opposite side. However, the water in this small ditch looks very problematic. I have never seen anything like this.
River ditch.
The water in this ditch is actually black, inky black, almost like black ink. You can't see the direction of the river water. It's very calm and calm, as if it's like a mirror. It's really weird. This black color
The river ditch makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at it.
"Why is there a small ditch here?" I squatted down, picked up a stone, and threw it into the ditch with a 'pop'. There was nothing unusual. From the sound, the water in the ditch should not be too deep.
"Yeah, I'm also thinking about it, why are there rivers and ditches on this deserted island? Everyone, please be careful, don't go over there yet, just take a look." Mr. Mai warned everyone, there is no room for carelessness now.
Mr. Mai first asked Jenny and the others to rest nearby first, and a few of us planned to see if we could walk across it smoothly. This is a slope, and the river ditch is at the bottom of the slope. If we want to get to the other side, we must walk across the river.
"This ditch doesn't look like much. It's very ordinary." Shunzi said, looking at the ditch below.
"Nothing yet? Have you ever seen black river water? We'd better be careful. Isn't that row of strange flowers just an example?" I reminded him that there are other weird things hidden in this jungle.
Things, if you are not more vigilant, you will easily die without a burial place.
We observed it for a while, but we didn't see anything unusual happening, but I always felt that this small black ditch was eerily calm. This calmness was a bit abnormal, it was that kind of deathly silence.
Mai Lao found another branch and threw it directly into the river ditch. The branch floated on the river, but there was still nothing wrong with it. The river water did not move, it had always been like this dead state.
Chang Shan pointed at the river at this time and said, "Look, there is no grass growing around the river. It is bare. There must be something wrong."
His insight is indeed very strong. If he hadn't said that, I really wouldn't have noticed that next to the river ditch, there is all bare mud. The distance is relatively small, so if you don't look carefully, you won't notice it at all.
It is really inconspicuous. There are no plants around the river. Does this prove that the river is poisonous?
"This water is poisonous." Jiao Ba said calmly and decisively.
"Look at that branch." Shunzi said in surprise.
When we saw it, we were all stunned. The branches floating on the water were originally green, but now they have turned dark, as if they were stained with ink.
"It's over, we can't get through, we're trapped." The big man was a little frustrated and sat down on the ground.
"Mr. Mai, we have to think of a way." Now we can't go back from the shore, and the way up the mountain is blocked by this poisonous ditch. It's really a dilemma.
When Jenny and Li Xin saw that we hadn't moved for a long time, they got up and walked over, "What's wrong, Mr. Mai? Can't we get through?" Jenny asked, looking at the river ditch below.
"This water may be highly toxic. We can't touch the water at all. We can only find a way to cross this ditch." I said helplessly. This is really a bumpy road. Look at this damn island.
It seems like they want to trap us here.
Jenny was a little dumbfounded and said, "Ah?? It's poisonous? This... what can I do? Is there no other way?"
"Don't worry Jenny, everyone is thinking of a solution." Mr. Mai comforted her, but I knew that Mr. Mai was also racking his brains.
"If you break a tree and build a bridge from it, you can cross over." Li Xin said easily.
I sneered and said, "It's not that easy. I've thought of this a long time ago. Look at the big trees around here. They're long enough, but they're all so thick that we can't stop them. Even if they break, we can't move them."
If it's a little thinner and not long enough, there's still no way to get through."
Li Xin looked around and her face changed, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"If I know what to do, I won't talk nonsense to you." I said helplessly.
