From seeing it

The three saw giant butterflies flying on these big red flowers, and seemed to like the rotten stench.

When the butterflies the size of a fan approached, the giant flowers suddenly moved, and as soon as the petals closed, they swallowed the butterflies.

"Is this a carnivorous plant? It can catch insects." The corners of Zhou Kesheng's mouth twitched slightly, and then stopped immediately.

Cao Mingyi said: "These flowers are a bit weird, let's make a detour."

Xiao Ling nodded, and the three of them avoided the groups of giant red flowers in front of them, and circled far away.

The three of them shuttled among the big trees. Xiao Ling noticed that these trees were covered with thick vines, and some white bones of animals could be seen on the ground from time to time. You can see them everywhere in this forest. The white skeleton is just the skeleton of an unknown animal.

He also saw that one of the white bones was entwined with ivy and tied to a tree. He was a little strange when he suddenly heard some movement behind him. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the ivy entwined on a tree behind suddenly come alive. Coming over, like a giant python, it instantly pounced on Cao Mingyi who was at the back.

Cao Mingyi didn't have time to exclaim, he was entangled by this ivy and lifted into the air.

The incident happened suddenly, and everyone was caught off guard. Cao Mingyi was entangled and lifted into the air before he realized that he yelled angrily, and wanted to resist. Suddenly, there was a "chi" sound, and another ivy that had been entangled in the tree stretched out. , like a javelin, pierced his thigh from behind.

Xiao Ling gasped.

In an instant, the trees around the three of them seemed to come alive, and the green vines wrapped around them were like giant pythons, suddenly rushing towards them crazily.

Qiang Yu Xiao Ling didn't even have time to save Cao Mingyi, so he let out a sharp shout, and swung the mother-child knife in his hand backwards.

Three green vines that were rushing towards him were cut off, he jumped a few meters, and then slashed out in the air, cutting off a big tree facing him.

The green vines entangled on this big tree suddenly seemed to have lost their strength, and hung down limply. Cao Mingyi, who had just been lifted into the air, fell down.

Xiao Ling saw red sap flowing out of the big tree he cut off, which was like the blood of the tree.

Cao Mingyi's thigh was pierced by a green vine, and he fell to the ground. His face was distorted by the pain, and the military thorns in his hand were waving to resist the green vines approaching him.

Xiao Ling wanted to check his situation, and found that there were countless ivy rushing towards him in all directions, and the trees in this area seemed to be in a frenzy.

"Damn—" Xiao Ling had to keep brandishing the mother-child saber to protect himself, and Zhou Kesheng on the other side also kept waving the saber.

Xiao Ling noticed that his knife skills were good, every time he swung the knife, he could cut off a green vine without any mistakes, and red liquid like fresh blood flowed out from these cut vines.

Xiao Ling cut off the ivy that was attacking him one after another, and then swung the mother-child knife horizontally, cutting off the trees by their roots.

He understood that these trees were fundamental.

With the loud rumbling noise, one tree after another was cut off by Xiao Ling with the mother-in-law knife and fell down. The ivy that originally attacked them also lost their strength and hung down.

Xiao Ling quickly dragged Cao Mingyi who was on the ground, and ran into the distance.

After Zhou Kesheng broke it, he flapped his saber in both hands to protect his body, and then escaped.

After escaping for more than 20 meters, there was a bush here, and it seemed that there was no danger for the time being. Xiao Ling stopped and hurriedly checked Cao Mingyi's injuries. He found that his face was as pale as paper, and his right thigh was pierced by ivy. The right leg was obviously unable to move.

Zhou Kesheng opened the first-aid kit, removed the ivy for him, blocked the two blood holes with medicine, and then bandaged them with gauze.

Fortunately, Cao Mingyi has a strong physique and endured the pain, sweating profusely from the pain. An ordinary person would have fainted from the pain.

"What kind of monsters are these?" Zhou Kesheng's expression was also very ugly.

Xiao Ling thought for a while, and said: "This should be the vitex tree recorded in ancient books. It is said that it grows in the Shaohua Mountain in the far west. Unexpectedly, it also exists here. This kind of tree is between animals and plants, and it usually keeps the tree state, the trunk cannot move, but when prey approaches, those vine-like tentacles are actually the tentacles of this vitex tree, and they rely on these tentacles to hunt and kill the approaching prey, and then slowly absorb them. Strictly speaking, they can also be regarded as Another type of carnivorous plant, but its terrifying level is unimaginable. If someone gets close to them unintentionally, even humans can prey on them. No wonder there are so many white bones left on the ground. It should be that some animals approached them unintentionally and were killed. They catch and digest."

Zhou Kesheng murmured: "The vitex tree, I didn't expect there to be such a terrible carnivorous plant. Lao Cao was seriously injured. This time, I'm in trouble."

Xiao Ling also frowned. It was impossible to leave Cao Mingyi here alone, but it was also very troublesome to bring him along.

Cao Mingyi gritted his teeth and said, "It's important for you to get back the Xiyang soil. I'll rest here alone. I'll go back slowly when my legs get better."

Although he said it bluntly, there was already a faint look of despair on his face, because he knew what would happen to him if he was left here alone.

Zhou Kesheng shook his head.

Xiao Ling said decisively: "No, it's too dangerous for you to stay here alone. I'll go with you behind my back. Since the three of us came in, the three of us should get out alive together."

After speaking, regardless of Cao Mingyi's refusal, he recited him,

Cao Mingyi didn't speak any more, but there was a trace of excitement in the depths of his eyes.

He knew that carrying him would be a burden, and even Xiao Ling himself would be in great danger, but he carried him without hesitation, and never thought of giving up on him.

This moved Cao Mingyi a little.

The three of them bypassed the vitex tree just now and walked towards the other side.

Zhou Kesheng said: "Xiao Ling, you must be careful. Since there are such vitex trees here, there may be similar terrifying and dangerous creatures."

Xiao Ling hummed, but he became more and more curious about Zhou Kesheng's skills.

How strong is this Zhou Kesheng?

In the previous few scientific expeditions, I felt that he was just like an ordinary person, or slightly stronger than an ordinary person, but now it seems that he has been hiding his secrets until he was attacked by the vitex tree, and the ivy vines attacked him. , no less than hordes of giant pythons attacking, but Zhou Kesheng remained calm and followed behind him and escaped calmly. Judging from his performance just now, he was even better than Cao Mingyi, who is considered a master. Better.

It's just that Zhou Kesheng hid himself deliberately, and Xiao Ling knew that he couldn't ask anything, thinking that sooner or later he would try out his true strength and hole cards.
