Chapter 196 Devil Tree

The forest is full of dangers.

Yan Luo walked cautiously in the forest with a few survivors.

At this time, everyone is holding a more convenient iron rod in their hands, with a sharp head and a certain aggressiveness.

This was found among the remains of the crashed cabin.

While walking, a strange dead tree caught Yan Luo's attention.

It has a weird shape, its branches are flailing, without leaves, and the bare branches are covered with attractive red fruits, like low-hanging red lanterns.

From a distance, dozens of animals are looking for food on the branches. It seems that these fruits are very popular with animals.

But soon, Yan Luo discovered something strange.

These animals are static, as if time has been frozen.

When several people got close to the dead tree, they could smell the cold wind blowing towards them with a strong rotten stench.

【Name: Devil Tree】

[Type: Plant]

[Remarks: Its fruit is delicious, come and try~]

Big Wave wanted to gag: "Fuck, what the hell is this?"

At this moment, it could be clearly seen that the trees were full of corpses of small rodents and birds. They lay motionless on the tree, and white maggots writhed back and forth on the corpses, densely packed.

The big wave finally spit out.

Yan Luo noticed that the skin of the dead tree secreted a layer of translucent mucus.

Yan Luo squatted on the ground to pick up a small piece of fallen branch.

The branch immediately stuck to the hand.

Yan Luo felt it for a while, the viscosity of this colloid was similar to the glue used for catching mice in the store, and it was even stickier.

It is not difficult to see that the creatures hanging on the tree are stuck in the mucus and cannot break free until they die and rot.

But even so, it can only be effective for smaller creatures. Larger creatures can still break free easily, but they will be troubled by the "super glue" secreted by the strange tree for a while.

The dense twigs poke into the body of the creature, sucking nutrients.

This is a natural trap. The dead tree uses the fruit as bait, secretes a strong mucus, captures animals, and sucks nutrients.

Yan Luo was a little surprised that this kind of plant has evolved the means of hunting.

No wonder there is not even a single green leaf on the tree. They are unwilling to be food, so they give up photosynthesis and start hunting actively.

Yan Luo couldn't help wondering whether the weird trees had self-awareness.

if you think carefully
Yan Luo noticed that the rotting creatures on the tree, like the savages they met earlier, had no hair on their bodies.

This is an extremely strange forest. The survivors looked at each other, and their hearts became more and more nervous.

It seems that not only the hairless savages, but also the entire forest has undergone some kind of incredible mutation.

This is no longer a simple survival in the wilderness, Master De and Master Bei probably can't calm down here.

What caused all this is unknown, and Yan Luo needs to continue to explore.

The slime from these devil trees might be useful, but Yan Luo had no interest in delaying here.

Yan Luo didn't stay any longer, and continued to move forward with the survivors.

The white guy behind asked, "Mr. Eric, where are we going now?"

Yan Luo looked at his watch and said, "It's 6:53 p.m., it's going to be night soon, and the night will become more dangerous and colder."

"So, we must immediately find a safe place that can withstand the cold to spend the night, and make some more effective weapons for self-defense by the way."

The survivors had no objection and followed Yan Luo to continue exploring in the dense forest.

Several people were shivering from the cold. At this moment, Uncle Beard suddenly walked to Yan Luo's side with an ugly face, and whispered: "Mr. Eric, we are followed by tails."

Yan Luo looked back when he heard the words, and saw several savages following them from a distance in the dense forest. When they found the target to look over, these savages quickly hid.

The intentions of these savages are obvious. They don't want to confront their prey head-on. They want to kill the prey at the lowest cost when the prey is defenseless.

There is such a passage in "Survival Guide": The more intelligent creatures are, the more cunning they are, and the more afraid of death.

Therefore, they often like to shoot when their prey is dozing off, and when choosing hunting targets, they will try their best to choose those old, weak, sick and disabled prey.

Yan Luo couldn't help looking at the pale-faced man in the floral shirt who was walking at the back.

This man is in a very dangerous situation~

PS: The state is not good, so I will write here first for today.
