After the explosion, the smoke dispersed and the dust settled.
The man in black robe looked at Lin Shan and asked, "How do you feel?"
Lin Shan shook his head and said: "I just felt a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but now I'm fine."
"This poison shouldn't affect the body, but it's hard to tell if you inhale too much." The man in black robe said.
Lin Shan nodded slightly, then looked at the exploded man-eating tree and said: "The effect of using explosives is indeed very good, but it is definitely unrealistic to continue the explosion like this. First, we don't have such explosives, and secondly, it will waste too much time.
, and the poisonous mist caused by the explosion also poses a certain threat." "
This is just an assist. We will still have to open the way for you later." Having said this, the man in black robe looked at Han Li and said, "Let's try the fire attack again, and we must control the fire intensity."
Han Li responded, then carefully walked to another man-eating tree and started spraying fire.
The seedlings sprayed out from the flamethrower and instantly ignited the trunk of the man-eating tree. To everyone's surprise, when the man-eating tree was roasted by the fire, all the branches were wrapped around the trunk, like a cold person.
Wrap up your clothes tightly and hug your arms.
However, this may also be a reaction of the man-eating tree to protect itself.
But it was this reaction that gave everyone hope of walking through the dark forest.
"Captain Han, how much fuel do we have for our flamethrowers?" Lin Shan asked. Han
Li said: "There are still quite a few, which should be enough for a while."
"Professor Ding, I think we can give it a try," Lin Shan said.
However, what Lin Shan said was a bit ambiguous, but Ding Xueru understood what Lin Shan meant. He nodded, looked at the man in black robe and asked, "What do you think?"
The man in black robe thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "You can give it a try."
Okay, let's give it a try." Ding Xueru discussed it with Han Li again, and then the team began to move slowly into the dark forest. Han
The two brothers Li Li were responsible for burning the man-eating tree, while Heipao Ren and Lin Shan were one to open the way and the other to cut off the branches. If they encountered the man-eating tree's attack, they would use sharp swords to cut off its branches. For example
In this way, he successfully advanced several hundred meters.
The family gradually cooperated and acted in a tacit understanding, and the speed of action was also accelerated. Only
In the past few hours, it was already bright outside, but it was still dark in this dark forest, which made people lose the sense of time. Still.
It has the bright light of a flame, which stimulates it from time to time.
In this way, excluding the short rest time, the team kept moving forward. In one day, everyone had reached the depths of the dark forest. Let
Fortunately for everyone, not all of this dark forest is filled with man-eating trees, so there are still some areas where everyone can relax and take a rest. No.
However, there is no longer the threat of the man-eating tree, but there are still some unknown poisons, some of which are highly toxic. If bitten, the poison will attack the heart and kill you on the spot, which is very powerful.
But these poisons in the dark forest may be accustomed to the dark environment, so bright lights and flames can restrain them very well. But
The bad news is that after a day of use, the fuel of the flamethrower is quickly consumed. I am worried that it may be exhausted after another day of use, and I don’t know if it can pass through the dark forest.”
Shanzi, come here and see, what is this?" During another break, Ada went to pee next to him and suddenly shouted.
Hearing the commotion, Lin Shan and Han Li walked over quickly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Shan asked.
Ada lifted his pants and pointed to the grass at his feet, saying, "Look here, it looks like a stone statue." Han
He immediately shined a flashlight and carefully moved the grass aside with a wooden stick. Then he suddenly said in surprise: "It's really a stone statue. Mr. Ding, come and take a look."
Ding Xueru, the black-robed man, Du Ruoxi and other archaeological team members also came over curiously. "
Well, this seems to be a Buddhist statue from the Three Kingdoms period." Ding Xueru made a judgment as soon as he saw it."
So, we are in the right place?" Han Li said excitedly. Ding
Xueru smiled and said: "It should be so. Let's spread out and look around to see if there are any similar stone statues around."
After hearing the words, people dispersed, but they didn't dare to go too far, but soon someone shouted: "Professor, there are stone statues here too."
I have one here too. Hey, no, this seems to be a road..." Lin Shan said hesitantly.
A group of people quickly gathered around. After Ding Xueru took a look, he quickly asked Han Li to clean up.
The individual wielded a shovel and quickly cleared away the dead leaves and soil around him, and a road about five meters wide, paved with stones and gravel, appeared in front of him.
"It's really a stone road." Everyone couldn't help being surprised. Du
Ruoxi asked excitedly: "Professor, could this be the road through the dark forest?"
"It's possible. To transport the coffin from the sky, along the dark forest, the death swamp and the endless sea of sand to the tomb for burial, we will definitely need a passage. And the dark forest we walked through is very wet and muddy, even if we go through
Over the millennia, the environment here has undergone some changes, but not too much, so a road must be built for passage." Ding Xueru speculated. This
At that moment, the man in black robe suddenly asked: "Professor Ding, the sky is so narrow, how can you get in the coffin?" Ding
Xueru pondered for a moment and said: "I have studied the geographical changes here. In the past thousand years, the earth's crust has changed here. Maybe the sky was not so narrow before. Of course, this is just a conjecture."
The man in the robe is naturally not knowledgeable about this issue. He just raised the questions in his mind.
When I got to the answer that wasn’t an answer, I didn’t ask any more questions.”
What should we do? Should we try walking along this road?" Lin Shan looked at Ding Xueru and the black-robed man and asked.
The man in black robe said: "We have already come here. Since it is possible, I naturally want to give it a try."
Ding Xueru also nodded and said: "Try it. What if it is really a passage?"
With the decision made, the team continued to set off, and this time it seemed that God had favored it. It turned out to be a safe passage, separated from the man-eating tree by a safe distance, and even poisonous insects and poisons were rarely encountered.
arrive.
Of course, some parts of this stone road have been buried and they still need to be cleared before we can continue walking along the stone road.
But without the danger, everyone is willing to be a little tired.
The Dark Forest is not a place to stay for a long time, so the team just takes a short rest when they are tired, and then continues on their way. For example
After walking for two days, when everyone was exhausted and about to reach their limit, a light suddenly appeared in front of their eyes...
