As soon as I could bend my body, I suddenly turned over and turned my face upward. The hozen hugged my legs tightly. Unexpected of my move, it also turned over on its belly with me. Taking advantage of this,
At this opportunity, I pushed my waist hard and sat up, raised the long-handled knife in my hand and stabbed it into the hozen's belly.
The hozen howled miserably, grabbed the blade of the knife with both claws and tried to get up. How could I allow him to do so? I grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands and slashed hard, cutting open its entire belly. All its intestines and internal organs were drained out.
When he came out, the smell of blood filled the place. The hozen twitched violently for a few times and finally calmed down.
I let out a long breath and tried my best to finally deal with these two vicious guys. I suddenly felt like I had narrowly escaped death.
Thinking that the monkeys were still fighting hard, I didn't care about resting. I quickly got up and wanted to crawl back from the tree hole to help them. But at this moment, an accident suddenly happened. The huge piece of rotten wood under me suddenly trembled violently.
I stood up, then slowly tilted and fell towards the bark of the tree. I fell down with him before I had time to get into the tree hole.
These rotten trees are all formed by the internal decay of this giant ghost locust tree. It is estimated that the bottom is empty. It is as fragile as a snow mountain. It will collapse as long as the vibration is too great. I did not expect that I would also encounter such a situation.
, from the current point of view, it is useless to do anything, so we can only resign ourselves to fate.
With a loud bang, this piece of rotten wood hit the edge of the tree cave. I felt a violent tremor under my feet, and then followed this huge piece of wood as it fell towards the endless abyss below.
If I fell, I would definitely die. At this time, my mind went blank. It was like a natural disaster, and there was no way that human power could save it.
My back slid down against the edge of the tree cave. Suddenly, the piece of wood hit another piece of wood next to it. Suddenly, a huge force threw me out. I only saw countless black shadows flashing in front of me, and then
I didn't know where I hit it, I just felt my eyes go dark and fainted.
I don’t know how long it took, but my consciousness returned to my original body. My vision was dark, and every part of my body was sore. I didn’t even have the strength to move. I even wondered if I had suffered comminuted fractures all over my body.
Fortunately, my package was still there. The original flashlight had been lost, but there was a spare miniature searchlight in the package. I took it out with great difficulty and looked around, but all I saw was darkness.
Where exactly is it? I couldn't understand. I thought for a while, then used all my strength to support my body and sit up with my arms.
At this time, I finally saw the scene around me clearly. It turned out that the place where I was lying was on a huge branch several meters wide, and it was still in the middle. Behind me was the smooth rock wall, and in front of me was the smooth rock wall.
It's the giant ghost locust tree.
Thinking of the previous experience, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It was obvious that after I was thrown away by that force, I did not fall into the abyss below, but was thrown directly out of a tree hole. It was no coincidence.
It happened to fall on this branch by chance. This is simply a miracle. If any accident happened in the middle or there were any changes in the force, my current end would definitely be shattered to pieces.
After sitting for half an hour, my head finally came to my senses. The events I had experienced before were replayed in my mind like a movie. Suddenly, I thought that I still don’t know what happened to Monkey and Shuiyue, and I couldn’t help but feel excited.
, the mood suddenly became anxious.
At this time, I had recovered a lot of strength. In fact, I was not injured. It was just that I was too tired and had a strenuous exercise, and my body was a little overdrawn, so I felt extremely sore. As my consciousness became clearer, my body
It also quickly returns to working condition.
I climbed back to the trunk of the ghost locust tree along the branches. There was a large tree hole at the top, but it was more than three meters high. It took a lot of effort to crawl in along the trunk of the ravine.
Tree Hole. There is a distance of several meters from the outside of the tree trunk to the rotten tree hole inside. But when I climbed this distance, what I saw was not a criss-crossing of rotten wood blocks, but an empty darkness. It must have been
That collapse caused a chain reaction, causing a large area around the area to collapse.
I yelled twice, but didn't get any response, and my heart slowly sank. They would definitely not be spared from such a large-scale collapse. I don't know if they can escape this disaster. I feel that the chance is not
Very big.
My mood suddenly became extremely low. We were all full of ambitions when we came here, but we encountered such a situation. Although it was an accident, it gave me a huge blow.
For a moment, I didn't know what to do. My mind was in a mess. After all, I was in the middle of the ghost locust tree. The wooden blocks had collapsed, and it seemed impossible to go up or down.
It took me a while to regain some fighting spirit. I chose this path myself. No matter what happens, I have to carry it myself. It has already happened, and it is useless to think about it. And I did not see it with my own eyes.
Monkey and Shuiyue are in trouble. There is still a possibility, which means that I may still have a chance to see them, even if there is only a slight chance. Of course, the premise is that I have to find a way to leave here.
I climbed back to the branches along the tree hole. The branches got bigger as they went down, but they also became sparser and sparse, and the distance between them became farther and farther. But after thinking about it, I found that the only way to leave here was from here.
There is a solution on these branches.
Suddenly an idea flashed in my mind. There were many leaves on these branches near the rock wall, and the strips of paper separated from the branches were thin and long. Can I imitate the ape-man method of grabbing these branches and climbing down the rock wall?
I carefully climbed along the branches, but in the end I found helplessly that even if these branches dropped down, they could not reach the branches below. The distance between them was too far, and the difference was more than double.
Am I just going to be trapped here to death? I was a little unwilling. I opened the package and checked it out. In addition to some tools that I had never used before, there was also a length of cowhide rope. Although this length of rope was long enough, it could only be used
Once, because if it is tied to this tree trunk, it cannot be untied after going down.
Huh? If this rope can be doubled in length, then I can use it in double layers. I just need to tie the two ends. There is no need to tie a knot on top. I just need to hang it on top and untie it after I get down.
Got the rope back.
The key question is that there is only one rope and it cannot be separated at all. So where does the remaining part come from? Finally, I focused on those branches. Based on the current situation, the only available resources are
It's up.
I picked up a long-handled knife and chopped off a few smaller branches, and then peeled off the bark. The fresh bark was very tough and was a good material for making rope.
It took me several hours to get out a rope that was tens of meters long, then tied the two ropes together and hung them on a slightly thinner branch, and finally tied the other end.
After organizing the tools, I slid down the rope. When the rope reached the end, I had already landed on the branches below. I repeated this process because the distance between the branches was lengthened. I made some more ropes along the way, which cost me nearly a year.
It took me five hours to reach the lowest branch.
It is hard to imagine that the diameter of the lowest branch is already tens of meters, and the trunk is far from reaching the end. You can imagine how huge this tree is.
At this point, I could no longer use the previous method, so I had to follow the branches back to the trunk. The tree holes here began to become sparse, but the hole also became larger, and I could even walk in upright.
Unexpectedly, when the tree hole came to an end, what appeared in front of me was no longer an endless abyss, but the solid part of the tree trunk, and what appeared in front of me were many tree holes, large and small.
The ghost locust tree looks full of holes. These holes look like they were formed after a long period of disease and decay, but I always feel that they were drilled out by something, such as borers.
At this time, I suddenly heard a noise behind me. When I looked back, I vaguely saw a huge black figure moving towards this side. I quickly found a tree hole to hide in and waited for the thing for a while.
Then he slowly climbed closer to the tree hole.
My heart beat hard. I had already seen the appearance of the thing clearly. It turned out to be a huge insect, more than one meter long. Its round body was covered with spikes, just like a hedgehog, but underneath it
It has many tentacles and moves very slowly.
I recognized at a glance that this bug was the kind of hairy bug I usually see. Its fur contains toxins, and it will cause a strong stinging sensation when people come into contact with it. But this one is really too big, more than one meter long.
Caterpillars are scary just thinking about them.
This hairy insect poked its head out from the hole in the tree and immediately noticed me peeping. It stared at me with a pair of small eyes, which made me feel a little scared. However, thinking that these creatures are vegetarians, I was a little worried.
Put some snacks.
Sure enough, the insect looked at it for a while, then turned around and crawled back in. Just when the body was about to get in, a whirlwind suddenly blew in from outside. I saw that the insect became a little panicked, and its bloated body suddenly sped up.
Many of them were trying their best to drill into the tree holes.
Suddenly, a huge head stuck out from outside the tree hole, with a sharp mouth like a knife, and pecked the insect right through.
The hairy beetle made a harsh squeaking sound and twisted its body violently, but it was of no use. The long sharp beak picked it up and quickly dragged it out of the tree hole.
After waiting for a while, and there was no movement, I crawled out of the tree hole. The scene just now was really shocking. The huge hairy insect was shocking enough, but compared with the huge head, it was still a bit...
