Chapter 10 Midnight Horror
The underground camp has a large space. After all cleaning, torches have been inserted, and the illuminated light is very bright. There is a bonfire in the center, and the smoke can be emitted from a high place, which is very good.
Zhang Yang first arranged the rotation staff at night, and then determined that the number of torches and firewood was enough to use, so that the soldiers could have supper.
After eating, he asked the captain Wu Yuan, the other eleven elite soldiers to rest near him.
This is not that he is timid and afraid of death. Well, he is not only young, but also afraid of death. He is afraid of any accidents at night. At that time, he can activate the second-level protection as soon as possible. Ordinary soldiers die, but elite soldiers cannot die.
Zhang Yang was quite tired at this time, so he fell asleep quickly after the arrangement was made. Thanks to the b-strength soul, he didn't even have nightmares and didn't know how fragrant he was.
I don't know how long it has passed,
"Ahhhh!"
A shrill scream suddenly sounded, waking Zhang Yang out of his sleep. He reacted quickly and turned on the second level of protection immediately before going to see what happened?
The bonfire was still there in the underground space, the torches were still burning, and the soldiers were normal, but there was one more dead person, an ordinary soldier who had just been killed. His eyes widened in horror, and a tree root passed through his back.
But other than that, there was no movement.
"But anyone saw what?"
Swallowed, Zhang Yang asked nervously. He arranged a total of five night-time teams, each with five people. The number of people was already large. Under the firelight, it was enough to see the space of the cave clearly.
"No, I don't know, the village chief, Zhao Shitou just went to pee, but when he turned around, he was stabbed to death by that thing." A soldier at night replied with a pale face.
But what is behind the dead soldier?
"That's the root of the tree? Go and have a few people go over and take a look."
Zhang Yang's heartbeats like a drum, and he couldn't help but flash all kinds of ghost clips that he had seen before. Ma Dan, I haven't learned the skills of catching ghosts yet.
Several soldiers walked over with courage, as if there was nothing there except the root of the tree that had just grown out of the soil.
A soldier raised his knife to cut off the root of the tree, but at this moment, with a thunderous sound, the soil splashed, and another tree root suddenly emerged, piercing the soldier's neck!
Blood was gusting upwards, and I saw that it was no longer alive.
And this terrifying scene happened under everyone's noses, which was simply horrifying. Because it was too sudden, Zhang Yang, who was thinking about various ghost movie scenes in his mind, was almost scared and screamed.
It was the spearman captain Wu Yuan who shouted to retreat, and the soldiers woke up as if they were dreaming. At this time, they heard the roots of trees, such as the soil and rocks, and they were drilled through the soil and rocks in all directions.
Moreover, these tree roots seemed to come alive, shaking and growing wildly, like countless tentacle monsters.
"Damn, grandma, your legs! Fight! Fight! Kill them!"
Zhang Yang was very angry and shouted hysterically. What is this called?
Why did the spider tribe live and settle here before, nothing happened, but I only lived here for a day. What happened in just half a day?
The fantasy world can be so willful and bullying people like this. The setting is that the dog will eat it!
The battle began to heat up, and the soldiers were extremely brave, but those evil and living monsters of tree roots were even more cruel, and they had a tricky angle. I drill, I drill, I drill, I drill!
There was no way, Zhang Yang sent elite soldiers to temporarily curb these tree root monsters. Yes, it was temporarily because even if these tree roots were cut off, they could still grow out at a very fast speed, which was bullying. In the end, Zhang Yang himself also carried a knife and chopped wildly.
Soon the soldiers were injured and dead. They fought and retreated, and were forced to gather together, and they had to guard against the roots of trees that emerged from their heads. Who knew why their vitality was so strong?
More and more tree roots poured into the underground space and occupied it step by step. The torches were squeezed out and the fire was crushed. In the darkness, only the soldiers screamed before they died.
In Zhang Yang's second-level protective circle, including him, the 38 big men were almost squeezed into paper men, and they could not beat them, especially in such a dark environment.
Fortunately, although the roots of the tree were tricky, they could not break through the second level of protection. They were wandering outside and growing constantly. When Zhang Yang observed with a lighter, he saw countless twisted roots forming an airtight cage, completely imprisoning 38 of them.
There is no way out, and the roots are still growing and squeezing every gap. This is to compress and isolate all the air. At that time, there is no need to break the first-level protective ring. Without oxygen alone, these 38 of them will completely die.
"I've really seen a ghost. What's the reason? Why are those spiders alive here? Why are they okay?"
Zhang Yang was simply desperate. No, he could still maintain the most basic calm. He knew that this matter could not have a reason, but there must be a reason.
The two spider lords must have some way to drive away and curb these tree-root monsters, but after they moved in, they destroyed this method.
"Wait, is it because of the venom of the spider?"
When this thought flashed through Changyang's mind like a meteor, he immediately understood.
Yes, the reason why Spider Lords can settle here safely is because of their venom.
Zhang Yang remembered the scene when he first saw the spider's nest. Within hundreds of meters around the deep pit, there were black substances like asphalt, and the nest was filled with these black substances, covering every corner.
Then within a range of 300 meters, no tree can survive, and even beyond 300 meters, there are a large number of trees that are hideous and entangled. They are caused by venom erosion, and it is also the most important defense line for the spider tribe to resist these tree-root monsters.
But after Zhang Yang occupied the place himself, he asked the soldiers to clean up a large area of black asphalt-like substances and thoroughly cleaned the underground space.
This is equivalent to invisibly destroying the line of defense.
So in just a few hours, when I finished the hunt outside and led the soldiers back, I saw the trees that suddenly became vibrant. At that time, they had actually started an attack.
This seemingly sudden war is not abrupt.
Zhang Yang was very upset. He only thought of this until now, and so many soldiers died. What should we do now? Apply that demonized spider venom to the sword and spear?
Impossible.
Just a 20 square meters range, 38 of them were crowded with sardines and could not apply venom. If anyone was poisoned, it would be even more unworthy of the loss.
"Let me go over."
While thinking quickly, Zhang Yang thought of a solution. It was very simple. He stopped smearing it. He wanted to throw all the venom out. Anyway, there was a secondary protection ring, so the venom could not hurt them, but he should be able to scare away these damn tree root monsters.
Squeezing to the edge of the secondary protection ring, Zhang Yang tried to change his posture, and then he took out all the remaining 50 units of demonized venom from the space of Jiancun Order. This thing was a bit too much, soft, as if it was loaded in a poison sac, like a big balloon. He didn't dare to neglect it, so he threw it out directly.
The next second, Zhang Yang and the others heard a low and strange sound, and then there was a rumbling tremor. The earth was shaking, or it was an earthquake. Countless soil and stones were smashed down and buried them alive underground.
As for the low and weird sound that continued, it seemed very painful and angry, but it was useless.
It took a few minutes before the outside was quiet. The owner of the voice seemed to be dead, but Jiancun Ling did not catch anything and there was no killing information.
But Zhang Yang can't wait, and if they don't go out, they will be suffocated to death.
"Dig it out and dig out a passage."
