Chapter 36 Everything that Glows Is Dangerous
What appeared in front of Lin and Tucker was a... tree.
But Lin doubts that it is not a tree. Although it currently looks like it has a thick trunk, rough bark, and a large number of branches, what grows on the tree is a large number of bent and hanging structures like tentacles. These tentacles are almost The long ones touched the ground, and these tentacles exude a light blue light...
In this deep underground, it does not need to grow leaves, but what is its strange tentacles used for? This tree also has a lot of root systems. Around it, thick root systems protruding from the ground can be seen. The roots and tentacles all emit light.
Moreover, where did the three white skeleton dragons go? I didn't see them here. The tree is more than five meters high and it's right in the center of the cave. If you look behind the tree, you can see two forks.
They should be going in one direction, but they have to go around the tree before going there.
And this cave is quite strange, why is there so much water here?
Tucker didn't dare to act casually when he saw this strange tree. It must have encountered many kinds of trap plants when it was on land before. These plants feed on animals and are much more terrifying than ordinary photosynthetic plants.
But Tucker usually has a way to deal with this kind of plant. It picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the tree.
'Snapped. ’ The stone passed through the pile of glowing tentacles and hit the tree trunk, and the tree didn’t respond at all...
Tucker threw a few more pieces in a row, but there was still no response, but some plants only responded when animals passed by, and this method was not necessarily accurate.
Then Tucker grabbed a Mao Yu from the pouch he was wearing, and it threw the Mao Yu to the tree. At the moment when Mao Yu touched the tree's tentacles... nothing happened, and then Mao Yu hit the tree and fell When they reached the water under the tree, they swam quickly and escaped...
It seems that there is no problem.
Tucker should have thought so, and it walked slowly towards the trees, when Lin immediately told it to stop.
Tucker looked at Lin suspiciously. Lin let the pterosaur fly over. When it was close to the tree, the pterosaur suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed out a lot of mucus, which stuck to the hanging tentacles.
This kind of mucus is irritating, and it can be called 'spicy'. As soon as these tentacles touched the mucus, they immediately began to twitch, and retracted into the trunk within a few seconds.
The tentacles of the whole tree, including those not sprayed with mucus, retracted,
The cave suddenly dimmed. The pterosaur glowed again, illuminating the entire cave.
Lin guessed that this tree should not be predatory, but its tentacles would cause some special harmful effects. Mao Yu, who just touched it, swam about ten meters away and died, but Tucker didn't seem to notice it, after all is in the water.
Now. Lin and Tucker will face a fork in the road, where will the two white skeleton dragons be? Normally, the smell would tell Lynn where they were, but what's weird is...there are smells on both sides.
Did they separate and run away? But in this case, let's just go to one side, Lin let Tucker choose, and it chose the deeper cave on the left.
After walking more than ten meters away, there was no longer any water in the cave. It seems that there is water only on the side of the tree. Could it be that the water has something to do with the tree?
The caves of this generation are all ordinary rocks, not the previous white 'salt rock', and the ground is also common gravel. The rocks and ground on the cave walls are quite dry, there is no sense of humidity at all, and no living things have been found.
As she got closer to the smell, Lin saw some strange traces in the sand on the ground. It's like...painted on it.
This should be painted by Baikelong, which is very similar to what the Tucker tribe usually likes to paint, and there are some broken bones next to these traces, which seem to be used for depiction.
"Bah..."
A voice sounded in front, and Lin and Tucker had reached the end of the cave, under which, a white skeleton dragon was standing there.
Is there only one? Sure enough, they separated and ran away.
"Quack!" Baikulong started to yell as soon as he saw Tucker. But Tucker didn't quarrel with it at this time, and directly picked up the sharp stone and rushed up! It stabbed the white bone dragon's abdomen with a sharp stone, but the white bone dragon jumped to the side and avoided the stabbing.
It feels weird.
Lin found that Tucker's speed was slower than usual. Especially the legs seem to have problems. There are scars bitten by meat-cutter ants on its legs, but the scars haven't healed yet.
The meat-cutter ant does not secrete a solution, and it is not poisonous... This is really strange.
Tucker continued to turn around and stab at the Baishoulong, but its speed was significantly slower this time. The Baishoulong took a step back to avoid it. Then it stood on one leg, turned around quickly, and its long tail swept across the tower. Tuck's leg, Tucker was hit by it and fell to the ground.
Skeletal dragons really have a lot of various skills in fighting, and they care more about whether they are injured than fighting recklessly with strength.
The White Skeleton Dragon raised its sharp claws and stabbed at Tucker! Tucker, on the other hand, rolled a few laps on the ground at a faster speed and then jumped up, but at the moment it jumped up, suddenly his legs crooked and fell to the ground again, and the stone in his hand rolled out.
Sure enough, there was a problem with the leg.
The White Skeleton Dragon obviously noticed Tucker's problem, and it would never let go of this opportunity. It picked up Tucker's stone that just rolled to its feet from the ground, and stabbed towards Tucker's head!
Lin has almost never helped Tucker or other skeletal dragons fight, it seems that this time she has to help.
At the moment when the white skeleton dragon was about to stab Tucker, the pterosaur suddenly pounced on its head, and its sharp mouth pierced the white skeleton dragon's eyes.
Accompanied by a scream, blood burst out from the eyes of the Baikelong. It immediately stretched out its claws and grabbed the pterosaur's neck, then threw the pterosaur forcefully.
Lin felt that the white skeleton dragon was full of anger, and it kept making the sound of "呵..." in its mouth, and walked towards the pterosaur.
This pterosaur has no attack ability and is not big in size, so it can only do some surprise attacks. The white skeleton dragon rushed to the pterosaur angrily, grabbed the pterosaur's neck, and stabbed the pterosaur's neck with sharp stones. Eye.
The pterosaur's pierced eyes spattered a lot of blood, but the pterosaur did not scream, nor did it run or dodge.
The White Skeleton Dragon seemed a little puzzled. The response of this pterosaur was different from normal creatures. At this moment, dozens of small needles were shot out of the pierced eye of the pterosaur. These needles flew into Bai Skeleton's eye wound at high speed, injecting a large number of tiny soldiers into it.
"Gah!" The White Skeleton Dragon screamed again, and it fell to the ground. Now a large number of micro-armies have invaded its body from its wounds. Many creatures will die due to bacterial infection of the wounds, but Lin can do it far Much stronger than bacteria, they can release a large amount of lysate along the way to kill cells. Destroy all structures, meanwhile, the pterosaur's eye has stopped bleeding and slowly began to recover.
Lin looked at the White Skeleton Dragon struggling on the ground, ignored it, and flew towards Tucker.
Tucker is lying on the ground now, and his legs seem to be completely unable to move. It could only watch the battle between the pterosaur and the white skeletal dragon with panic, but when the pterosaur flew to it, Lin could clearly feel that it became relieved.
Now let's check its wound. Tucker's wound hasn't healed yet, but there is no bleeding. The pterosaur released some miniature units that are exactly the same as the invading White Skeleton Dragon into its wound for exploration. They are actually smaller 'healers' '.
The blood from the wound was in a strange state. As if it was frozen, Lin's healer had to drill a hole in it to get in.
'boom……'
At this moment, Lin heard a sound coming from the surroundings, as if the cave was shaking.
But now the detection is more important. The healers who drilled into the blood vessels found that this kind of coagulation occurred in the blood vessels. The whole blood vessels are filled with a strange liquid. These liquids are very viscous, and it can not only block the blood vessels. It can also make muscles unable to function, and has some similar ingredients to the liquid used to shape statues by the Incas.
Where did these liquids come from?
By the way, it was over there before that tree.
The tree is surrounded by water, but the white skeleton dragons don't drink it. Is this the reason? Is it mixed with a liquid that can harden blood and muscles? Because Tucker's leg was once bitten by meat-cutter ants, this liquid seeped into it. Was this liquid made by that tree? Why does it produce such a strange liquid, if it is used as a predator, it will take effect too slowly. Is it for defense? But what creature here would eat it? Meat-cutter ants? Lin felt that the stomach of that kind of creature could not digest plants.
This liquid is called 'petrochemical toxin'. Speaking of which, there are a lot of fungal fossils here. I don't know if it has something to do with this?
'Boom...' The previous sound sounded again, this time the sound of vibration was stronger. Lin could clearly feel the trembling, and the trembling was still going on.
Lin is now studying these liquids, and Lin asked the healers to try to create a liquid that dissolves these petrochemical toxins without harming Tucker's cells.
This is not very difficult, but the completion speed is relatively slow, and you can only release a little at a time. If you release too much at a time, the blood vessels will still be blocked.
'Ka...' Under the constant trembling of the cave, some cracks began to appear on the cave wall, as if it was about to collapse.
I don't know why this place collapsed, but I have to hurry up.
The healer mainly dissolved the petrochemical toxin in Tucker's muscles. At the same time, the pterosaur put down more healers again. Some stones had already fallen from the collapsed cave. With the quick action of the healer, the petrochemical toxin was finally released. For the most part, Tucker was able to resume action as well.
"escape!"
Lin flapped her wings and flew up, and Tucker also knew that this place had become very dangerous. It had no time to express excitement or dance, so it immediately stood up and started running in the direction it came in.
But when Tucker ran a few steps, it suddenly fell to the ground with a snap. It wasn't that its petrochemical toxin was not healed, but... the almost dying white skeleton dragon grabbed its leg!
Lin's troops have already damaged its trachea, but it still has this last strength? Moreover, Lin can feel its emotions, not fear or fear, but a very reassuring emotion... (to be continued...)
