"Do you want to sacrifice those crew members?" Chu Zihang looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked.
"Yes, I plan to use them as bait to distract the tree's firepower." Chu Tianjiao said, "I know this will make me look cruel and evil, but walking into the depths of this island is equivalent to walking all the way.
When we step into hell, it is impossible for everyone to get out alive. Someone has to sacrifice, and of course I can't hope that person is me."
Caesar frowned slightly, and the expression on his face hesitated. He was a man with a strong sense of justice. If he were in the same situation as Chu Tianjiao, he would not take the initiative to sacrifice others even if he died... But Caesar also
He is not so chauvinistic as to demand others based on his own values. Chu Tianjiao's ideas are neither justice nor light, but as a self-centered ordinary person, his actions are understandable.
"Do you feel guilty if you do this?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked Chu Tianjiao.
"To be honest, I will definitely feel guilty. I am also a flesh-and-blood person, not a real devil. Sacrificing others will definitely cause suffering and condemnation in my heart." Chu Tianjiao said in a low voice, "But that is the best choice I can think of at the moment.
, and in that situation, I actually had no time
Feeling guilty, I was more mentally calculating the probability of success of my plan, and then I realized that even if I did such a cruel thing, the probability of success was not high. If that tree could really make all the leaves grow at the same time,
If we fall, both that kind of crew and me will definitely die."
"This is a real big gamble, not comparable to Vincent's. Once you lose, everything will be over." Chu Tianjiao said, "I cast an apologetic look at Sasha. I don't know if he saw it.
After understanding what I meant, I raised my head and shouted to all the crew members, "Vincent is behind the tree. Concentrate your firepower to break out and fight back. It's useless even if we stay here all the time. That tree is not
They will let us go, we can’t leave this island’.”
The expressions of everyone in the room were a little complicated. They could already predict what would happen next... The livelihood of these crew members had been cut off. They had no way out and were sentenced to death in advance. In the end, most of the island's center
It will become a river of blood.
"Those crew members are retired from the special forces. They react very quickly and will obey orders subconsciously. The crew members heard what I said, so after just being stunned for a moment, they set up all their thermal weapons - submachine guns.
, automatic rifles and pistols, and even grenades - and of course cold weapons such as knives and axes." Chu Tianjiao said, "I
Seeing the expression on Sasha's face changed drastically, he asked me what I was doing, and then yelled at the top of his lungs at the crew members and his comrades. Sasha told them not to act rashly. To fight back against the monsters here would be to seek death.
But I was the only one who heard his voice, and then there were roars and gunfire, and Sasha's voice was completely drowned."
"Although I know that I am sorry for Sasha and even more sorry for the crew members, I have no choice." Chu Tianjiao said, "While the crew members were attacking the huge tree, I released the realm of 'Time Zero'
, I grabbed Sasha by the collar and dragged him to run behind the tree. It was quite difficult to move a person while maintaining his voice, and I also reached my limit at that time."
"While running, I saw a lot of leaves falling from the branches of the huge tree. They flew towards the crew below, like deadly flying knives." Chu Tianjiao said, "I also saw it.
Looking at the expressions of the crew members, each crew member had a look of madness and a look of despair on their face, as if
They really planned to fight for their lives against the huge monster in front of them at all costs. The dazzling fire came out of the muzzle of the gun, but those bullets seemed too small and insignificant in front of the tree. They had no chance even if they risked their lives.
, human beings are so weak and humble in front of dragon creations."
"I made up my mind and passed through the crew members who were destined to die. Of course, there were leaves flying in the direction of me and Sasha, but the number was limited. More leaves attacked the crew members. At that moment, I knew that I
The bet was right." Chu Tianjiao said in a deep voice, "This
The behavior patterns of the creatures on the island are basically similar. Just like the giant snakes we encountered at the beginning, they mostly attack those who pose a threat to them... to be precise, humans who are hostile to them. As for
They just deal with those who run away."
"The same goes for this huge tree. Its attack was more directed at the crew members who shot at it. The threat to Sasha and I was limited. With my 'Time Zero', we avoided the leaves and came safely.
When we reached the edge of the tree root." Chu Tianjiao said, "I walked around the tree trunk and saw an incredible scene."
"I heard a gasp, which came from Sasha next to me." Chu Tianjiao said, "'Time Zero' did not target him, so he was not affected. Sasha's face was full of
Horrified, because he and I saw the same thing."
Everyone became serious, curious about what they saw behind the tree, which made Chu Tianjiao so uneasy.
"We saw 'cocoons'." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "Behind the huge tree, there are huge 'cocoons' hanging. To be precise, they are not cocoons, but the opposite sex wrapped in gray and white bandages.
They were exactly the same as the bandages I saw on Xi Tegen’s body. Those bandages were hung high on the huge
On the tree, it extends into the air like a line reaching the sky. The other end is covered by dense leaves. Those things wrapped in bandages are of different shapes and densely packed. There are probably hundreds of them... No, there are probably a few.
Hundreds of them, forming almost a half circle around this towering tree, like a white cocoon formed by a swarm of insects."
Everyone's expressions couldn't help but change, because the scene Chu Tianjiao described was really weird. The tree that seemed peaceful and healing at first sight actually hid such a weird and horrifying scene behind it.
"What makes us feel even more creepy is that those 'cocoons' are moving! They are twisting or shaking slightly or violently. Hundreds of huge 'cocoons' are shaking. The scene is simply creepy."
So far, Chu
Tianjiao recalled that scene, his face still showed deep fear, "We don't know what is in those 'cocoons', but they are definitely living creatures. They are shaking restlessly and seem to be struggling and trying to
Break out of the cocoon."
"Before this, I completely underestimated the size of these things, because this tree was too huge. When I saw the shadow of a certain 'cocoon', I thought it was only the size of a human being, but standing in front of these 'cocoons'
I just discovered that they are much bigger than humans, and they come in different sizes." Chu Tianjiao gestured with his hands, "The smallest one is as big as two adult males stacked together, and the largest one is bigger than what we saw at first.
Those giant snakes are not much smaller."
Everyone's expressions changed. Such a huge thing is still alive, imprisoned here by those gray-white bandages... There are too many weird things in this scene. What is in these "cocoons"? Who put it there?
Are they placed here? Why are they hidden behind this tree?
"Just when I was about to approach one of the 'cocoons', Sasha suddenly screamed. He pointed in a certain direction and shouted 'Captain!', 'Captain!'." Chu Tianjiao said, "I was attracted by those
'Cocoon' was so shocked that I didn't notice until this moment that there was something behind a certain 'Cocoon'
There is a dark shadow hidden inside. Sasha is right. That shadow really looks like Vincent. Although I saw Vincent for the first time today, and I have only known the old guy for less than half a day, he is as skinny as a monkey.
It’s really hard to recognize the same figure, and I’m at least 70% convinced that Sasha really saw it right.”
"I don't know how Vincent survived, how he got to the center of this island, and why he hid behind this tree. There are too many mysteries that bother me. When I was still confused, Sasha
Suddenly he rushed toward the shadow behind the cocoon, but he missed it and the shadow actually dodged. His movements were extremely flexible." Chu Tianjiao said, "At this time, I suddenly realized something.
Something that frightens me."
"Because Vincent is still alive?" Caesar asked subconsciously.
"No, it's that figure. Why can his movements be so fast?" Chu Tianjiao said with horror on his face, "My 'time zero' realm has obviously been maintained."
Everyone in the room was stunned, and then realized that what Chu Tianjiao said was really scary.
"The range of that figure is definitely in the realm of 'Time Zero'. I can be sure that the range of 'Time Zero' almost covers half of the central area of the island, but his movements are more agile than Sasha, like a vigorous and flexible person.
Hare." Chu Tianjiao said, "At that moment I realized again that it was not just that person who was not affected by 'Time Zero'
The human figures, and the 'cocoons' hanging on the trees, their shaking frequency is not slow at all. The realm of 'time zero' should have been extremely quiet, because the ripples formed after the sound waves are slowed down dozens of times are not at all slow.
It's not continuous, but whether it's the sound of those 'cocoons' struggling or the friction between leaves, it's all very clear."
"'Time Zero' doesn't work in this Nibelung?" Chu Zihang analyzed in a low voice, "No, those crew members and the leaves falling from the trees were indeed affected by 'Time Zero'."
"There is no problem with 'Time Zero', but it seems that it does not work for certain objects. This has never happened before. There seem to be more mysteries hidden on this island than I imagined." Chu
Tianjiao said, "Sasha chased that figure relentlessly. He was running behind those 'cocoons'. A ridiculous picture emerged in my mind. Could it be that the figure really had Vincent's face on his head?"
But he's not actually Vincent?"
"What do you mean?" Caesar raised his eyebrows, "Dual personality?"
"No, what Uncle Chu means is that he thinks Vincent may have been 'seized'." Lu Mingfei, who is familiar with online novels, obviously has a richer imagination.
"That's more or less what it means." Chu Tianjiao nodded, "There have been so many bizarre things on this island. I wouldn't be surprised if something weird happens again. I also want to know if it is Vincent, so
I started running too."
"In a different direction than Sasha's pursuit, I blocked the path of the figure from the other side. In the end, Sasha and I formed a tendency to attack the guy from both sides." Chu Tianjiao said, "He moved very quickly, but
We are not vegetarians. There are Sasha and me in front of us, and there are giant trees and cocoons on the left and right. He has no way to escape."
"Unless that guy can go to heaven." Lu Mingfei complained subconsciously.
"He can really do it." Chu Tianjiao showed a helpless smile.
"Ah?" Lu Mingfei was stunned.
"When there was no road ahead, left or right, he suddenly jumped up. The guy's jumping power was so exaggerated. When he jumped up, the world high jump champion couldn't even touch the soles of his shoes. He jumped onto a certain 'cocoon' in one step.
, and then climbed up through those 'cocoons', just like stepping on the stairs to climb higher step by step." Chu Tianjiao said, "Finally he stopped on the biggest 'cocoon'. Sasha and I raised our heads at the same time. At that moment
, we finally saw his face clearly."
"Is it Vincent?" Chu Zihang asked.
"It's Vincent's clothes, and it's also Vincent's body. To be precise, it's Vincent's body." Chu Tianjiao paused, "But his face is covered by a mask."
"mask?"
Upon hearing this word, Lu Mingfei, Nuonuo and the others immediately changed their expressions, as if they were reminded of some of the experiences they encountered in Odin's Nibelungen.
"Is it a silver mask?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Tianjiao in a low voice.
"Yes, a silver mask with ancient patterns carved on it. It covered Vincent's face, covering all his facial features, except for a pair of eyes." Chu Tianjiao said softly, "Those exposed eyes,
It’s golden.”
"Vincent... I don't know if I should still call him Vincent. That man stood at the top of the 'Cocoon', looking down at me and Sasha. I always felt that he was smiling under the mask. I don't know.
Why, Vincent's picture suddenly appeared in my mind
His old face had a sarcastic arc between his old wrinkles." Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha kept shouting 'Captain!', 'Captain!', but the man didn't respond at all. He just stood above us, quietly.
Looking at us, the golden eyes under the mask flickered."
"'Time Zero' didn't work on him, so I released the word spirit. Logically speaking, the crew members who stayed in place at this time should have been killed by those leaves, but strangely, on the other side of the tree,
There were no screams." Chu Tianjiao said, "But I don't care about that anymore. I only care about who the guy above us is, is it Vincent, or something else on the island?
