At one o'clock in the morning, the cold dew fell, the moon sank among the clouds, and the earth became dark.
Two figures walked through the dark night, through the hidden forest, and then came to an irregular triangular area.
One of these two figures is me.
The other one is Chen Xuanyi.
The two of us chose a higher place, taking advantage of the cover of night and tree shade, lowering our heads and looking down at the building not far away.
It's late at night, when people are exhausted and everything is quiet. There are dim lights in the building. The night wind howls, blowing the chandeliers in the open-air manor. The lights flicker, reflecting the swaying shadows of the trees and several buildings immersed in the sun.
House at night.
The plant manor is very large, with a large number of vines and vegetation planted inside, some of which are familiar and some of which are not, as if they are products from a foreign country.
Because of the distance, I couldn't see much in detail, and I was quite surprised. Why would the Li family build a Zhiwu Manor in a place like this? Is it for profit? But this ghost place has no village in front of it.
It doesn't have a store, so no tourists enter and play there.
Chen Xuanyi's vision is much broader than mine. He shook his head and said, "You are mistaken. They do not plant these plants for profit. They must be to achieve some kind of ulterior secret."
As he spoke, he pointed to a few bare trees outside the manor, "Look at that tree, do you see anything unusual?"
The light was dim, shining on the tree, and I found that there were no leaves on it, only the bare trunk and the vines hanging from the top of the tree, like catkins, swaying slightly in the night wind, which was very strange.
I squinted at it for a long time, wondering what it meant. I turned around and said to Chen Xuan, "Isn't that just an ordinary tree? It doesn't even have leaves. It's probably going to die soon."
Chen Xuanyi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, look down along the roots of the tree.
I was stunned for a moment, then continued to look, and sure enough, under the forked tree whiskers, I found small ceramic jars one after another, some of which had been submerged in the soil, while others were scattered everywhere.
I was puzzled and asked Chen Xuanyi why his attention was on a tree. Chen Xuanyi sighed and said that you still don’t understand. Look at the earthen pots under the trees. Do they look like urns? Then
The tree is not a product of our Central Plains. It comes from Southeast Asia and specializes in sucking the essence and blood of humans or animals. If I guess correctly, this tree has grown to this day, at least several hundred years ago. It should have come from the rain forests of Southeast Asia.
Transplanted.
I said scary, could it be the legendary man-eating tree? Chen Xuan nodded and said yes.
We continued to look over and found that there were many of the same plants scattered around the manor.
I was shocked and asked in a low voice, "Why did the Li family plant man-eating trees in their own manor? Aren't they afraid that they would attack their own people?" Chen Xuanyi looked downcast and said that since people dared to plant these trees, they would naturally respond.
Measures, these trees are probably used to prevent outsiders from sneaking in.
To engage in such a large-scale battle and not hesitate to use man-eating trees to guard the botanical garden shows that there must be something worth protecting.
Chen Xuanyi's words made my mind move. The Li family is very powerful. Things that deserve their attention must not be simple. If I can get into it and take away the things guarded in the botanical garden.
, or if it is destroyed, I believe these bastards will be very painful!
I'm not greedy, but since the Li family dares to target us like this, it's time to teach them a lesson. How can we make them unhappy?
Chen Xuanyi shook his head and said, "We don't even know what's in the botanical garden. How easy is it?"
At this time, I saw a flashlight swaying in the manor. A pair of security guards in black suits walked along the botanical garden. The leader was an old man, about seventy years old. He was very hunched, but his steps were steady and strong.
With the wind, you can tell at a glance that he is a practitioner with unique skills.
I pointed at the backs of the security guards and said to Chen Xuanyi, "These people stay awake in the middle of the night and actually come out to patrol. They value the security work here so much. I think there really is a big secret in this botanical garden. Do you want to come here?"
Come and take a look?"
Chen Xuan frowned and nodded with a strange look.
Next, we went to the outside of the botanical garden and followed the patrol team in front from a distance. There were man-eating trees planted outside the botanical garden. I don’t know if they are as scary as the rumors say, and will actively attack people passing by with their canes.
So he carefully avoided it and lurked in the woods outside the manor.
The park is very large and is divided into several parts. The sky is dark and very cold. There is no moon and there are few stars. Occasionally I can see a little light flashing through. It is very quiet.
The forest where I was hiding was very dense, surrounded by tangled branches, which scratched people's bodies, which was quite uncomfortable. Moreover, under the night, there were many strange insects flying around, like flies, making a loud buzzing sound.
The forest area was so big that we had no choice but to follow. Chen Xuan and I separated and followed the patrol team in front for a few minutes. I saw a very large building surrounded by glass nets. On the inside of the building, there were many overlapping
Covered with exotic flowers and plants, it is like a natural botanical park.
When they got near the building, the team in front of them dispersed, each holding a flashlight and searching for something around the building.
Seeing these people looking serious, I was thinking about whether I should grab a tongue and come over to ask. But before I could sit down and make a decision, I heard a strange noise in my ears. I turned around and found the woods behind me.
In the middle, a figure wearing night clothes also flashed across, quietly sneaking over with careful steps.
At first I thought the man was Chen Xuanyi, and I was curious as to why he had changed his attire. It wasn’t until I got closer that I realized that the man was short, only 1.6 meters tall. His head was wrapped in a black scarf, with only a pair of hair exposed.
The Yin Vulture's eyes, at first glance, are very penetrating.
Is it him?
My heart moved, and a name immediately popped into my mind - Hikaru Ichiro!
This international friend from Japan once participated in the pursuit of Chen Xuanyi and I. He should be a guest of the Li family. Why did he wear night clothes and sneak in here in the middle of the night like me?
My heart tightened, and I quickly ducked behind a big tree, hid in the shadows, and continued to look at the guy.
Under the night, Hikari Ichiro leaned very low. He was already short, but with the cover of the jungle, he almost blended into the darkness. If I hadn't been nourished by the God-Eating Gu for a long time, my eyesight would have improved.
If it is greatly improved, I am afraid that this person will not be found at all.
This kid was quick on his feet, and within a short time, he sneaked into the vicinity of the building in front, arrived at the secret door of the hall, and was about to open the door.
As a result, at this time, the patrol team returned, and many white lights kept flashing around.
The old man walking at the front seemed to have noticed something unusual. He held up a flashlight and swept towards the building from a distance. However, Hikaru Ichiro reacted very quickly. He ejected like a civet cat and quickly hid in a dark corner.
The light did not shine on him. The old man coughed twice and then left with the patrol team.
I had been lurking in the forest and watching quietly for about five or six minutes. It was not until the patrol team left that Ichiro Hikaru jumped out again and continued to walk towards the secret door to fiddle with the keyhole above.
I was moved in my heart and said secretly, "Could this kid just come here to steal something? Otherwise, as a guest of the Li family, how could he be so sneaky?"
