Geng Chen repeatedly assured Gu Suli that no monster could climb up from the sea along that stream.

"The barrier here separates the deep sea. The creatures in the shallow sea may not even have a spiritual consciousness. Even if they have the ability to go ashore, who would be willing to spend so much effort to eat a few people?" It shook its head and said, " Let alone those who are incapable."

Gu Suli always felt flustered, and his eyelids twitched violently.He couldn't find a breakthrough from Gong Jianping, so he went to Zheng Rong.

Zheng Rong was very surprised and said: "Teacher Gong and me? He and I have just met for a few days. I have never met the head of the department before. Zheng Kai introduced me to me at that time, and I was a little afraid of him!"

"Then he takes such good care of you?" Gu Suli was puzzled, although he was not as crooked as Geng Chen thought, but Gong Jianping was so kind to Zheng Rong for no reason, and he also felt weird.

Zheng Rong blushed, and said in embarrassment: "Maybe it's because I'm a girl? Teacher, he is also a gentleman..."

Gu Suli didn't believe it, if it was really a gentleman, Song Chengyi and Zhao Anqi were accompanying them, one old and one young, but although Gong Jianping usually treated them politely, in fact he had to take advantage of them.

And Huang Qiugu, Huang Qiugu's dislike for the two of them seems to have come out of nowhere...

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the mushrooms under the giant tree glowed earlier than yesterday.

Gong Jianping was indescribably tired today, and he could still help people chop firewood in the morning, but at night, he had no energy at all.He thought it was affected by the blood moon, and cursed this ghost place in his heart.When it was time to eat, he couldn't eat anymore after only a few bites.Less than half an hour after the meal, he leaned against the wooden table, his stomach churned, and he vomited all over the floor.

The brown ones are the mushrooms he just ate, and the red ones are blood and minced meat offal.

Gong Jianping stared blankly at his vomit, and didn't even understand the situation for a while.

Huang Qiugu saw it sharp-eyed, and grabbed his collar angrily: "Okay, you really have an infectious disease! Let me tell you why I started coughing up blood. I only had a room with you during this time, and you today You flirt with that bitch and think I can't see? How many people have you had unspoken rules with, huh? You are fucking sick and infected me, see if I don't beat you to death!"

With a "snap", a blood-stained tooth fell out of her constantly opening and closing mouth and landed on Gong Jianping's collar.

Gong Jianping's sluggish eyes finally moved, and when he saw the tooth stained with fresh gum, he let out a howl and jumped up.The teeth rolled off his collar, leaving a light red wet mark, and fell to the ground.It sank into the soil as if alive, and then took root and sprouted rapidly, and a small bush grew, bearing bright fruit like a fig.

Huang Qiugu clutched her cheeks and stared at the bush in horror.

This fruit, isn't this fruit the one she ate earlier? !

The tongue was pressed against the teeth, and the other teeth seemed to be loose. The strong smell of blood made Huang Qiugu retch, and all the teeth in her mouth were vomited to the ground along with her dinner.

Gu Suli and the others were startled.

Huang Qiugu screamed and ran towards them, her open mouth was full of blood, and the blood holes were clearly visible. Coupled with her ferocious and frightened face, they all backed away in fright.

Gong Jianping stared at Huang Qiugu's vomit—the teeth in the vomit were all sunk into the ground, like seeds, growing lusher bushes on the filth.

"Ouch!" He vomited again, and this time he vomited out more internal organs and blood, fell from the stool and fell to the ground, his face pale as paper.

"Xiaofeng!" Gu Suli noticed that Gong Jianping's situation was wrong, and hurriedly recruited him.

Hu Gan Yifeng said, "You and Brother Li go and bring the red fruit here, hurry up!!"

He ignored Huang Qiugu, who was desperately trying to grab them to talk to, lifted Gong Jianping up, and probed into his body.The internal organs in Gong Jianping's body were almost corroded. The esophagus was still barely connected to the stomach.

Song Chengyi asked Li Junpeng to squeeze the red fruit into juice and handed it to Gu Suli.

Gu Suli fed it to Gong Jianping, Gong Jianping barely swallowed it, grabbed his hand, his chest heaved violently and said: "Xiao, Xiao Su, I don't want to die..."

Gu Suli turned his head and shouted at the others: "Get some more juice!!"

So they took out all the bamboo bowls for eating, grabbed a large handful of red fruits from the basket and mashed them.

Huang Qiugu opened her mouth and made a sound of "Ula Ula", and went to grab the juice that Gan Yifeng had mashed.

Seeing her mouth full of blood, Gan Yifeng gave her the bowl with a shake of his hand, not daring to argue with her.

After feeding two bowls of fruit juice, Gong Jianping's panting gradually calmed down. His expression was already numb, his pupils couldn't focus, he just grabbed Gu Suli's hand, and kept murmuring: "I'm in so much pain, I don't want to die... ..."

Gu Suli asked Geng Chen: "What's going on?!"

Geng Chen was at a loss: "I don't know..."

Such a good person, why did he suddenly become like this?

The nearby bushes suddenly moved.

Gu Suli keenly sensed that something was approaching them, so he grabbed the sharp wooden stick at hand and stabbed into the bushes!

A piercing scream sounded like the cry of a human baby.

As soon as Gu Suli withdrew his hand, the half-meter-long object fell to the ground.

"Damn it, it's a mermaid!" Geng Chen quickly recognized what it was, "It's so far away from the beach, how could the mermaid touch it?"

The thing on the ground raised its upper body, opened its mouth wide, and exposed its densely packed and sharp teeth to Gu Suli.It has a human body with a fish tail and hair like tangled seaweed. Its complexion is very white, and its eyes are also blue and white. There is a light yellow film full of spots between its hands and the fish body, and there are translucent webs between the fingers of both hands. .

Fu Bosi said loudly: "Be careful!"

The little mermaid bared her teeth at Gu Suli, and with a flick of her tail, the whole fish jumped up and bit Gu Suli's neck.

Gu Suli was faster than it, and the pointed wooden stick pierced its fish body again, this time piercing it directly.

The little mermaid wailed continuously like a baby, and after a while, it died down.

Gu Suli threw the corpse aside in disgust.

Geng Chen said with lingering fear: "The mermaid will become the most eager mating object of the prey around the full moon, and cheat the prey's blood. Because they only grow fangs when they are in estrus, and usually their teeth are only enough to eat. Small fish, shrimps, or seaweeds will only use this method to hunt large animals to store nutrients when they are about to grow up or have offspring..."

"No wonder I didn't see anyone last night." It couldn't help explaining, "The mermaid uses illusions to deceive people!"

Gu Suli squatted back beside Gong Jianping: "How can I save him?"

Geng Chen shook his head: "Hongguo can only delay his vitality, but can't detoxify. You just probed into his body, the mermaid's toxin has a paralyzing effect, and his paralyzing effect has passed now, and his internal organs are almost digested. It’s better to just give him a break.”

Gong Jianping's face was completely pale, and his two big eyes stared as if they were about to burst.

"Little Su." He looked at the person closest to him and begged, "I don't want to die!!"

Seeing this scene, Zheng Rong shrank Lihua into Zhao Zhengkai's arms with rain.

Huang Qiugu had also calmed down at this time, and she finally realized that her illness was caused by eating those fruits

, it wasn't infected by Gong Jianping, it was just that the pain in her mouth was too sharp, she only took one look at Gong Jianping, and then went to make red juice for herself.

Zhao Zhengkai couldn't bear to suggest to Song Chengyi: "Grandpa Song, Mr. Gong is in too much pain, should we help him..."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Gong Jianping's breathing stopped. He looked at them with wide eyes, as if he was still asking for help.

Gu Suli leaned over and closed Gong Jianping's eyes.

Everyone was silent, watching Gu Suli pick up Gong Jianping's body and put it in a clean place.

Due to the spread of the toxin, his corpse collapsed very quickly, and the exposed skin soon had a breach, and transparent mucus was still flowing out from the breach.

Gu Suli took a deep breath, and wanted to call other people to dig a hole with him and bury him.

Geng Chen suddenly said: "Stand back."

Gu Suli backed away without knowing why, the ground near the corpse began to surge, huge clods of soil broke open, and sand and stone rolled down from the cracks, and then, thick and thick roots came from nowhere slowly. The ground was lifted out, and the corpse was hugged into the ground.

Gu Suli: "???"

The giant tree covering the sky and the sun above their heads uttered low humming to them.

Everyone looked up at it, it was the giant tree talking to them!

The giant tree didn't use human language, but they all understood what it was saying.

It was telling them that the dead body of this man would be its nourishment, and in return it would bring his soul to life.

"Don't worry." Geng Chen said, "The tree of life won't lie."

Gu Suli looked at the towering giant tree for a while, and said to the others: "Let's leave here."

evening.

The sun has not yet set, and the bright red moonlight has already enveloped the earth.

Gu Suli carried the basket on his back, carried out Zhao Anqi who had napped until now, and went to the giant tree together with the others.

A full week of food and fresh water reserves are placed in their back baskets.

As the moonlight gradually became more intense, unknown totem patterns appeared on the roots of the giant tree.

Fu Bosi was the first to step forward, cut his finger, and smeared blood on the totem.

Song Chengyi is the second, Li Junpeng is the third...

"Brother Gu..." Zhao Anqi hugged Gu Suli's neck and whispered in his ear, "Where's Uncle Gong?"

Gu Suli said softly: "Mr. Gong, he's going home first. An Qi, we'll get out of this damn place soon."

When it was Zhao Zhengkai's turn, Zhao Zhengkai held up the Swiss Army Knife dawdly and said, "This is a waste of effort. There are eight tree houses, and we now have nine people..."

Fu Bosi said: "Quickly cut!" His eyes were pitch black, seeping inexplicably under the bloody moon.

Zhao Zhengkai shook his hand, cut his finger and smeared the blood on the totem.

Anyway, it's done!

He made up his mind, thinking: Either we can go out together, or no one can get out!

After Zhao Anqi's blood was smeared on it, there was a rattling sound from the giant tree.

According to Gengchen's prompt, Gu Suli asked everyone to go back to the tree house with their backpacks on their backs.

They entered a tree house alone, while Gu Suli entered a tree house with Zhao Anqi in his arms.

Song Chengyi called Gu Suli's name and wanted him to enter his tree house.Previously, only one person was allowed to live in this tree house. What if two people entered the tree house and would be excluded?However, as soon as he finished speaking, the tree house moved.

The bottom of the house was trembling, and the ground was cracking. When the tremors were not long, the thick branches connected to the bottom of the tree house emerged from the cracks in the ground.

This tree house is actually a part of the big tree!

I saw the big tree slowly lift this part of the branches, like lifting an arm, supporting the eight wooden houses above, and sending them to an unreachable distance with one turn.
