Doomsday Yuan

This time climbing the rope, Yue Zheng was at the back and Xu Song was at the front.

Seeing that he was climbing fairly smoothly, Yue Zheng asked casually: "Are you from the village at the foot of the mountain?" Ten miles away.

"That's not true. My grandfather's ancestors were from Zhao Village. Later, he went to the city to work hard, and took my father and my grandmother out of the mountains. My father grew up in Y City, and his family settled in Y City. A few years ago, my grandfather felt sick. I was about to die, so I went back to my hometown and was buried here. I grew up in Y City, and I have only been back to Zhao Village less than ten times." Before he died, the old man wanted to return to his roots and be buried in the ancestral grave, so his father would naturally not object.

Although Zhao Village is called Zhao Village, besides Zhao, the surname Xu is also a common surname. In the village there is the ancestral house and cemetery of Xu Song's family.When my grandfather passed away, I was in my third year of high school. Apart from coming back to do errands, this was the first time I came back alone after my grandfather passed away.

"Do you know the way down the mountain?"

"Probably, I came up from the south entrance of the mountain, as long as I go south..." While saying, Xu Song climbed up, stepped on the ground with one foot, and the other was still hanging in the air, and he froze in place. Looking around stupidly.

"Why don't you climb anymore?" Yue Zheng patted his leg from below.

"Yue, Brother Yue, do you still remember what it was like when we went up the mountain?" Xu Song swallowed hard, climbed up slowly, and moved out of the way.

Yue Zheng didn't answer. Judging from his appearance, it seemed that something unexpected happened above.He pulled out the dagger from his waist, bit it with his teeth, and with both hands, quickly climbed up. Seeing the surroundings, he was as stunned as Xu Song.

The forest in summer is densely covered with vegetation.

But no matter how dense the mountain forest is, it is not a virgin forest. No matter how thick the trees contracted by the villagers, there will be a certain limit, and there will be roads up the mountain and gaps for weeds to grow.

But now?

Yue Zheng stared in shock at the mountain forest, which was at least three times thicker than when he went up the mountain, and seemed to have no gaps at all.

"At least...at least twice as high." Xu Song said again with difficulty, "I can't see the path up the mountain."

Not only was the path gone, but the ancient tomb where the two were located had an explosion just yesterday. Except for the barren land around the pothole, all the trees within sight had at least doubled in size!Vines wrapped around the trees and stretched upwards.The trees also stretched upward desperately, even their thick roots broke through the ground one after another, climbing onto other plants, twisting into a ball.

"How do I get down here?" Yue Zheng also looked dull, no wonder no one went up to the mountain to check the situation until now, the forest has grown like this, who can go up? !

"How about... let's try to find it?" He looked down at the small dagger in his hand, and then at the plants that had turned into giant trees. The contrast was full.With this kind of knife, can the two really fight their way down the mountain?

"That's the only way." Yue Zheng sighed, put his bag on his back, and walked towards the south cautiously.

As they approached, the two discovered that although the trees had changed, they were not completely unable to walk. The huge tree roots were intertwined on the ground, but as long as they stepped carefully, they could still find a place to step on.

"Be careful, the moss is slippery." While reminding, Yue Zheng opened the way ahead.

Xu Song followed behind, looking at the ferocious tree roots under his feet, and the same wanton growth of moss, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

"Brother Yue, be careful, I'm afraid there's something in the woods..." What?He didn't know, but subconsciously, he just felt that something was wrong.

"Are there snakes in the mountains?"

"There must be. Those things are indispensable in places with mountains and forests. But I have never seen poisonous snakes. I have only seen wild cabbage snakes once. My dad said he was bitten by a snake when he was a child."

As more people walk in the mountains, the number of birds and beasts will naturally decrease, but there will still be some, and there must still be some snakes and the like.

When I went up the mountain the day before, it only took about an hour to get here from the mountain path.At this time, the two went down the mountain and climbed for twenty minutes in the forest, but they didn't know where they went.

Front, back, left, and right are hideous trees and shrubs.The top is blocked by thick branches and leaves, and the blue sky can hardly be seen.

The forest was silent, and the chirping of insects and birds that could be heard in the past could not be heard.

But within 10 minutes, both of them were a little out of breath, and Yue Zheng looked up at the sky frequently. At this moment, the forest changed drastically, and it was almost impossible to tell the difference between east, west, and north. Fortunately, knowing that this time he was going up the mountain, he was wearing a wristwatch. Has a compass function.

One step, two steps, Yue Zheng suddenly felt a little tight in his ankle, looked down, and saw a rattan stick hanging on his leg at some point.

Bending down to pick it, suddenly, a strong force came from his feet, dragging him to the ground!

Seeing Yue Zheng fall down, Xu Song was taken aback for a moment, saw the vines on his feet, and searched along the direction of the vines. Not far away, there were a large piece of vines hanging on some big trees. The vines did not know how much they grew overnight, hanging densely among several trees.

Quickly glanced up and down the vine net, and saw two rabbits that looked like mummified corpses at the roots of its feet, Xu Song's face changed, and he held Yue Zheng desperately with one hand, raised his other hand, and pointed at the rabbits facing towards them. The vines stretched out by the two tried their best to spur fire.

The branches rushed towards the two of them as if they were alive, and a few twigs had already wrapped around Xu Song's outstretched arms. With a sound of "poof--", he finally suffocated a ball of flames.

When it touched the fireball, the branches made a "squeak" sound as if they were being scalded, and quickly retracted.

Manipulating the direction of the right hand, aiming it at the other branches, those branches also shrank when they saw the fire, and quickly fled back from the two of them.

He gasped for breath, calming his beating heart that was beating wildly due to excessive tension.

"You, are you okay?" Seeing Yue Zheng standing up, Xu Song asked quickly.

"It's okay." The ankle should be wounded, but these are not even injuries in his eyes.

As if knowing that the two of them could set fire, the vine moved backwards in its entirety, as if wanting to stay away from the two of them, revealing the trees, soil, and some dead birds and beasts covering it.

Hares and pheasants are the most numerous, and there are also some voles and squirrels.

The two felt their scalps go numb, and Yue Zheng's lips moved: "I'm alive..."

Yes, the vine seems to be alive, it can hunt, attack, and avoid danger by avoiding disaster.What is it if it is not alive?

"I really want to burn it, but unfortunately I can't..." Zhao Song looked regretfully at the vines he had burned before, and Zhao Song felt extremely regretful. Perhaps because of the hot weather, the plants were full of moisture. It burns as if it is carbonized, but it cannot be ignited. Even if I can completely burn it, I don't know how much spiritual power I need to consume.

Yue Zheng patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go down the mountain first." Even if we can start a fire, the two are still in the mountain. If we really light a fire here, there are trees all around. Don't even think about going down the mountain alive.

Walking cautiously all the way to the south, the vines that became alive as before encountered a few more. This time, the two of them threatened them with fire before the attack came. These plants really seemed to have a certain amount of wisdom. dodge.

"Take a break." Yue Zheng handed Xu Song water and compressed biscuits. Xu Song had used his ability several times, and now his head was dizzy and his mind was empty.

Xu Song nodded and sat down. Yue Zheng's ability is also very powerful, but his ability can only target a single target, and has little deterrent effect in the forest. At this moment, he can only open the way by himself.

The two stayed under a big tree for a short rest. It had been an hour and a half since they entered the forest, but they didn't even know how far they were from the foot of the mountain.

Along the way, I also made many marks on the trees I passed by, but the forest was so dense that I still couldn't find my way.

"Let's go, go down the mountain before dark!" After eating and drinking, Xu Song stood up first this time. He always felt that the woods at night were more dangerous than during the day, and it would be good to go down a minute earlier.

Yue Zheng followed him silently.He also wants to go down the mountain earlier. After yesterday's explosion, it seems that the impact is far more than the abilities on himself and Xu Song, the corpse transformation of the dead, these plants that grow tall and grow suddenly, and the vines that actively hunt creatures , God knows if there will be other effects?It's better to go back to the city first, get in touch with your leadership colleagues, and then make plans.

But because Xu Song was responsible for opening the way before, he also understood the impact of excessive use of abilities on the body, so he needed to maintain good physical strength, and because of this, he couldn't take the initiative to urge him.

He lowered his head and glanced at the dagger in his hand. Although his ability is not as powerful as Xu Song's, and has a natural enemy-like deterrent effect on plants, he is not weak either. Although his forward speed is relatively slow now, once his ability is exhausted, The big deal is to carry him on his back and fight all the way out, before this forest becomes more terrifying!

There was slight sweat on his forehead, and Xu Song felt his head dizzy for a while. From the moment he rested until now, the two of them had encountered plants with different shapes but the same attack power twice.Should he be thankful that the only offensive plants are those vines?Otherwise, in the huge forest, if even those trees had the attack power, he would just die of old age in the ancient tomb just now!

"Swipe, ping, ping..."

There was a sound, and the two stopped in place and looked at each other.

"Plants? Beasts? Or... people?" Xu Song asked Yue Zheng uncertainly.

Yue Zheng squinted his eyes and shook his head slightly: "The trees are too dense to see, we'd better go around..."

"Crack!"

"Crash..."

Before the words were finished, a large area of ​​trees in front of him made a loud noise, and several big trees were squeezed and crooked.

The two of them stared dumbfounded at the crushed and squeezed trees getting closer and closer to where they were. Xu Song tightened his wrist, and Yue Zheng pulled him to the side: "Go! It's coming!"

No matter how fast the two of them were, they were not as fast as the trees falling. If Yue Zheng hadn't pulled Xu Song away in time, he might have turned into a meatloaf by now.However, there was still a tree branch hitting the two of them until it was pressed down.

With a wave of Yue Zheng's hand, the air in front of him twisted for a while, and the branch broke from the tree, only touching the backs of the two people who jumped away vigorously.

At this time, the two finally saw clearly what the loud noise was.

A running tree...and the vines that clung to it.
