Chapter 206: Red man-eating flower
Although his hands and face were squeezed together under heavy pressure, and his head and legs were welded to death and he could not move. Fortunately, the mucus that wrapped him was not as sticky as spider silk, but was like hard glue. Shelly on the outside.
He spit out the fragments of the axe, held it between his fingers and rubbed it gently on the shell, quickly creating a small space for his wrist to move.
?After he could barely move his wrist, he took out a prop dagger and cut a gap forward.
By the time the force of dragging him pulled him out of the ventilation duct and threw him to a high place, Xu Huo had already burst out of the membrane. He grabbed the shell that had not completely fallen off with his backhand and slid towards the ground.
??He and the shell around him drew an arc in mid-air and fell downwards, finally stopping one or two meters above the ground.
Cutting open the mucous membrane covering his legs, Xu Huo jumped to the ground. He looked back and watched the remaining half of the membrane bounce upwards and sway up and down in the air. Only then did he realize that what was wrapping him was a huge plant branch. .
It is about ten meters high from the ground, hanging in an arc in the air, with a membrane shell hanging at the tip. There is a stem at the top of the membrane shell connected to the white vein in the center of the leaf, and this white vein is connected to this huge plant. the subject.
Walking out of the place covered by the shadows of the leaves along the overgrown ground, Xu Huo looked from the side and discovered that the center of this huge plant was a huge flower pot, which looked like the piranha seen in the elevator shaft, but It''s ten times bigger than that.
There are several huge flesh-colored corollas blooming in the center of the pot. The corollas are surrounded by green leaves, and the drooping leaves are covered with white membranes at different heights. Some membranes are empty, but some of them can still be seen inside. to human bones, and even some people whose skin and flesh were half melted.
He saw the people who had disappeared from the elevator inside.
?These people are all dead.
"Chichi!" A slight sound came from not far away. Xu Huo walked over quickly and found that the sound came from a human-shaped membrane shell. The bottom of this membrane shell had been melted through a hole by corrosive liquid, and Dai Wenqian, who was wrapped in it with his eyes open, had blood on his right hand and was holding a glass bottle in his hand.
People are still alive.
??Xu Huo used his sword to break open the outer membrane. When the bent branches and leaves were raised, Dai Wenqian slipped out. As soon as he landed, he took a big breath. He nodded to him and thanked him as he had no time to speak.
?The two of them didn’t say much and went to find other people.
?Zheng Liang and Jiang Yihua were first found nearby. After rescuing the people, the four of them separated in twos and went in different directions to look for the people.
But this piranha is too big. There are at least hundreds of cocoon-like membrane shells hanging on the large and small leaves. When the line of sight is unclear, the speed of finding people is not fast, so when they are about to By the time some of them were found, six of them were already dead, suffocated, including one player.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Zheng Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Burn this piece of shit!"
"What to burn?" Jiang Yihua whispered: "You have also seen the size of this piranha. It is impossible to burn it completely without auxiliary materials."
"And it is in a dormant state now. If we wake it up, we will all be in danger."
Zheng Liang looked at Xu Huo, "Can''t you set fire?"
“Fire can’t burn anything.” Xu Huo looked around and suddenly saw a bit of golden powder not far away.
"This is the poisonous powder that appeared on the thirteenth floor." Wei Bin followed him and saw the golden powder with a little light. He looked back and said in surprise: "This is the rhizome of the piranha flower."
Zheng Liang took out a knife and wanted to cut off a little bit, but Xu Huo stopped him and said, "Don''t move, these roots may be alive."
Zheng Liang took a step back and asked: "Those little piranha flowers in the elevator shaft don''t seem to have poisonous powder. How did the poisonous powder here appear on the thirteenth floor?" ?????"Pipeline." Dai Wenqian said: "The little flower is red in the building. It has been abandoned for five years, and this giant piranha is being kept in a huge semi-enclosed glass greenhouse. It is neglected and it is not surprising that the roots enter the building through the ventilation duct.”
“From the 15th floor to the 9th floor, only the 13th floor has special ventilation equipment, and the other floors do not.”
“That’s why the poisonous powder appears on the thirteenth floor.” Jiang Yihua suddenly realized, and said: “But I don’t understand, is this piranha flower intelligent? How can it judge whether there are many people in the elevator or not?”
"Electronic sensing equipment." Xu Huo said: "There should be sensing equipment on the floor and in the elevator to judge the number of people. As long as you get to the fifteenth floor, the people in the elevator will naturally become nutrients for the piranha flowers in the pipe. "
"If that''s the case, wouldn''t it be better to destroy the electronic equipment?" Zheng Liang said: "We are now out of the elevator game, so it should be safe."
??It''s out of the elevator game, but not necessarily safe.
Xu Huo looked at the walls of the glass house that were already covered with rhizomes that were densely covered with plants that could not be distinguished. The poisonous powder on the thirteenth floor came from giant piranha flowers.
??However, there are no traces of poisonous powder spraying near the rhizome just discovered, so it is very likely that the piranha flower will not actively spray poisonous powder.
If this is the case, if this trouble is solved, the 13th floor will be safer than other buildings.
"I have an idea." Jiang Yihua said: "If the piranha grabs people from the elevator again, we can save them directly. In this way, no one will have to die."
Several players were silent.
After a few seconds, Jiang Yihua said: "Am I wrong? Isn''t it safer here than in the building?"
Just after she finished speaking, the rich young girl who was still trembling suddenly said with a cry: "It seems that someone is missing..."
?Xu Huo and the others suddenly turned around to count the number of people, and sure enough, one person was missing.
"How come you are missing? We didn''t notice it at all!" Zheng Liang was shocked. "Even if he was attacked, there would be no sound at all... How did you find out?"
He was asking about the rich girl.
The little girl choked and said, "That woman just pulled my clothes. I just felt my clothes being pulled off, and I didn''t see her when I turned around."
Several players became alert, Xu Huo said: "Go back to the building first."
?Although the glass greenhouse is large and the view is basically occupied by dense plants, it is not difficult to identify the direction. Xu Huo went up and down again, and the group returned towards the elevator building.
Seven players walked forward and backward, and four players, the rich girl and the middle-aged woman, walked in the middle.
But despite being careful enough, someone still disappeared, and it was right next to Xu Huo.
He, one of the two players called by Gu Yu, and Dai Wenqian''s companion, the Queen, heard the footsteps of the two of them a few seconds ago, but the moment they looked away, the player called by Gu Yu disappeared. !
