As the soil was dug deeper and deeper, Lin Sanjiu's strength began to seem insignificant.
After all, she is only one person with two hands, and there will always be times when she needs to rest - when she stops to eat and sleep, Green Meat Gua and the others are controlling her, blasting bit by bit.
This job is not easy to do. You have to be careful not to blow up the survivors inside, and they can only move on the ground like walking on stilts. Therefore, after three or four days, in addition to rescuing a few strangers
Except for people, Rabbit and his party still didn't even see a shadow.
The longer time passes, the less likely it is that the person is still alive.
"This won't work...these roots are too many and too deep to be dug up." Lin Sanjiu slid down along a huge tree root dejectedly, feeling exhausted both physically and mentally.
After three or four days of excavation and blasting, the area nearly a kilometer in radius had already changed.
The place where Lin Sanjiu first dug the soil is now an entrance and exit that can accommodate two people. Walking down from the entrance and exit, there is a slope that slopes downward.
If someone walks down this slope and walks a hundred meters, he will find that he is suddenly in a forest - it is not quite accurate to say that it is a forest, after all, it is entangled by giant snake-like tree roots.
A forest formed together, for which no human has yet coined a word.
When I looked up, I saw huge tangled roots in mid-air, blocking most of the daylight, leaving the slope permanently in darkness. On both sides were tree roots that Lin Sanjiu had not blasted, each of which was about ten.
They are as big as a human being and are twisted together. Once there is any movement nearby, the entire "wall" of tree roots will tremble rapidly, spitting out waves of long and thin whiskers, eager to devour all living creatures around it.
In this environment like an underground mine, the light was also not very good; Lin Sanjiu simply hung it on a slightly thinner tree root and used it as a chandelier - even though it was slightly thinner, it was different from her own.
Almost the same size.
At this time, under the faint silver light, a big robotic doll and a dark cloud floating in the sky all fell into silence when facing the depressed Lin Sanjiu.
"But, but..." Bai Xiaoke hesitated for a while, and he was not sure whether the words he was about to say would encourage or have the opposite effect on Lin Sanjiu. "Now there is no other way but to do this.
…”
The two men on the shoulders of the robot doll looked at each other with a somewhat dull expression.
"Have you ever settled this account?" Lin Sanjiu suddenly asked, "At the end of the day, we can only dig more than a hundred meters in one direction, right?"
The dark clouds swayed up and down twice, as if Bai Xiaoke was nodding.
"Now, we have placed more than 100 meters in the downward direction. We don't care about other directions at all, and we can't control it." Perhaps it was the monotonous manual labor for several consecutive days that clarified Lin Sanjiu's feelings.
The anxiety caused by her companion's disappearance was gradually suppressed by her calmness.
"But what if the things in the roots of the tree don't go downwards? After all, the three of you were in a life-and-death situation at the time, so it's not surprising that you felt wrong." She frowned, "Even according to common sense, it shouldn't be
Go down. The things in the roots of the tree should be transported to the trunk. Even if the trunk has not grown yet, you should go up."
The logic is indeed correct - Qian Zhengguan opened his mouth, always feeling that something was wrong. He wanted to refute but couldn't find the right words to say. After a long time of "um", his farther and farther thoughts still prevailed: "...
…If the tree trunk is on the ground somewhere, doesn’t that mean you have to travel all over the planet?”
At this time, he actually took it out.
Lu Rougua rolled his eyes at him. After all, he was smarter. After thinking about it, a smile appeared on his lips: "...Sister Lin, do you have any ideas?"
Lin Sanjiu narrowed her eyes and did not answer. She tilted her head and looked at the people in front of her, scanning them back and forth with her eyes, and suddenly waved to Qian Zhengguan: "Come here."
"What, what's going on?" The young man with a small face didn't know why, but suddenly an alarm sounded in his heart, "Sister Lin, what are you going to do? I can't get down."
This reason is so bad that it makes people want to sigh - in order to be able to carry out blasting while Lin Sanjiu was sleeping, they made a lot of tall stakes on the ground, and they could step on them to carry out activities within a certain range.
"I'm just asking if you can get through." Lin Sanjiu's tone was very straightforward.
Although the answer was of course "no", when Qian Zhengguan realized it, he had already slipped halfway off the robot doll - with a look of regret on his face, he could only ask carefully: "Sister Lin, what on earth are you doing?"
What's the matter?"
"I ask you, how long will it take for you to start... Hurry up, I'll be waiting... Apart from knowing Jin Yong's reputation, do you have any other requirements?... Oops, why are you walking so slowly!"
His slow look made people anxious, so Lin Sanjiu simply stood up and carried him over by his collar.
Qian Zhengguan cherished the shirt given to him by Lu Rougua. He said "Hey" twice and hurriedly stood firm on the stake. Then he touched the collar and replied: "Well... it's very fast."
, just a thought is enough. As for the requirement, except for Jin Yong’s matter, the other party must be about the same size as me, and it can’t be too heavy..."
Maybe it's an illusion, but Lin Sanjiu always feels like she's grown taller recently. Compared with Qian Zhengguan, who is 1.73 meters tall, she seems to be about the same height.
How can you grow taller at this age? Even if you evolve, there is no such thing as height evolution... She scoffed at herself in her heart and asked: "Is this okay for my height?"
The young man with a small face looked at her and thought for a while, then nodded immediately: "Okay, tall girls are popular nowadays. You see, many mistresses are--"
"I said yes! What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, ok!"
When faced with such a chronic person with divergent thinking, Lin Sanjiu always felt that she was a lot more irritable - she rubbed her temples, put a hand on Qian Zhengguan's back, and gently told her: "I'll count."
One, two, three, I will push you towards the root of the tree, are you ready?"
"How can you be ready?" Qian Zhengguan's face turned pale, and he waved his hands wildly: "Sister Lin, what on earth are you going to do?"
Lin Sanjiu lowered her voice and said: "...Listen carefully, I will stand on the stake and switch places with me the second before you are completely swallowed into the root of the tree."
The idea of drilling into the roots of the tree sounded too risky. Bai Xiaoke and the two would definitely not agree to her doing this, so she never even thought of mentioning it to them - Qian Zhengguan was different.
Yes, they have known each other not long ago, and he is slow and soft-tempered, so he will probably do what she wants.
"So you want to go in..."
"Yes, you also know that for some reason these tree roots refuse to involve me at all. So you must not exchange it too early. You must exchange it with me the moment before the white crust closes up..." Lin Sanjiu was a little confused.
Staring into his eyes nervously, his tone was so firm that there was no room for change.
The conversation between the two was very low. When it reached the ears of Lu Rougua and Lu Rougua, only vague words were left. The two were still kept in the dark and were waiting for Lin Sanjiu to say something to them.
When something happened, she suddenly pushed her arm hard and slapped Qian Zhengguan towards the root of a tree not far away——
Before the two people could even scream in surprise, countless thin beards had quickly wrapped around Qian Zhengguan and his scream, sucking them into the roots of the tree. The whole process was so fast.
No time to blink.
"Now!" Lin Sanjiu roared suddenly, and the screams suddenly stopped just as the crust was about to close. The scene changed, and the panting Qian Zhengguan had replaced her, holding her knees.
Standing on the pile.
The two of them turned their heads blankly, just in time to see Lin Sanjiu's shadow disappearing behind the closed white crust.
