Chapter 360
In the cellar under the woodshed.
Looking at the things under the bricks, Zhou Xingzu swallowed and asked the people around him: "Brother Tie Tiezhu, you are well-informed, have you ever seen such a thing?"
"No!"
Tie Zhu shook his head. He leaned down and carefully observed it, and then hesitantly said: "Although I don't recognize what this thing is, I don't know why I feel uneasy when I see it. It's probably what it is." Harmful things!"
"Harming people?"
"That's right." Tie Zhu nodded slightly and said with solemn eyes: "First of all, this thing looks very improper. Secondly, you also saw it just now. When Ah Xing went down with the hoe, it bled directly. It will bleed." Could it be something serious?"
"."
Seeing that Zhou Xingzu and Peng Yixing still looked dubious, Tie Zhu added: "The most important thing is that this is Lei Gong's treasury. This thing must be raised by Lei Gong. What could this old bastard be raising?" Good stuff? I believe it even if you say it’s a poisonous poison from Miao territory!”
"insanity?!"
After Zhou Xingzu heard this, he immediately took a few steps back in fear. Even Peng Yixing couldn't help but pull out the pistol from his waist and pointed it at the thing under the stone bricks with a serious expression.
Unlike Tie Zhu, they are modern people who have just traveled through Hong Kong a few decades later. They have watched many movies like "Evil", "Gu", "Demon", "Evil Fights Evil", and "Evil After Evil Again" In this type of horror movie, there is a natural fear of the extremely vicious bewitching in the film.
"What are you doing?!"
At this moment, Zheng Jirong's voice came from the woodshed above. He jumped down from the cellar entrance and came over with peanuts.
First, he casually scanned the box containing gold and silver ingots, and then asked Zhou Xingzu and others:
"I asked you to move a box. You'd better have a tea party, right?"
"No, Brother Rong." When Zhou Xingzu saw the backbone coming, he immediately threw away the hoe in his hand, trotted over and said anxiously: "When I used my clairvoyance to see before, I always felt that there was something hidden under this cellar, but just now Did you dig out the poison?"
"Drum? What's the fuss about digging out a skin drum?"
"It's not a skin drum, it's a Gu from Miao Jiang's Gu technique!"
"Hey, brother," Zheng Jirong put his hand on Ah Xing's shoulder and said helplessly, "Do you think a rational person like your boss and I would accept such nonsense?"
After saying that, he pushed Ah Xing away and waved to Tiezhu and Peng Yixing, "Get out of the way! Let me see what's going on!"
A few seconds later, when he saw what was under the stone bricks clearly, Zheng Jirong fell silent.
What caught his eye was not the skeleton of a corpse as he had guessed, but a humanoid vine more than two meters high.
The roots of the vine are deeply rooted in the soil, closely connected with the earth, absorbing the nutrients of the earth, and the surface of this human-shaped vine is covered with densely packed miniature branches. They move around automatically without wind in the air. Stretching out, like countless slender arms, they are exploring the world around them, looking for soil where they can take root.
But what makes Zheng Jirong's scalp numb the most is that there seems to be a living heart hidden in the chest of this human-shaped vine, which is constantly beating, and every beat is accompanied by a strong vitality. , as if announcing its existence to the world.
"Iron pillar."
At this time, Zheng Jirong still had some of the calmness he had before. He asked solemnly: "Was this old house of Lei Gong formerly called Lanruo Temple?"
"Lanruo Temple? Never heard of it!" Tiezhu thought for a while, shook his head and replied.
Isn’t it Grandma Dryad?
"Brother Rong, no matter what this thing is, but its appearance is so weird, I think it would be better if we bury it again."
"Yes, boss, bury it. It might be something harmful."
"Brother Rong," Peng Yixing approached him and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell what it is, or else I'll shoot her to death?"
Zheng Jirong shook his head slightly. He touched his chin and thought for a while before he said, "What do you think the thing jumping on its chest looks like?"
"heart?"
"wrong!"
The corners of Zheng Jirong's mouth turned up and he said, "I think that looks like a fruit!"
Under their shocked eyes, Zheng Jirong continued to explain: "This thing is obviously a plant. Since it is a plant, it either flowers or bears fruit. It can grow to such a large size and live for hundreds or even thousands of years. If I hadn't guessed If you’re wrong, that plopping thing on your chest is the spiritual fruit grown after absorbing nutrients for so many years!!!”
"."
Everyone was immediately stunned by his remarks.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Zheng Jirong spread his hands and said, "Isn't this what martial arts novels say?"
"Brother Rong," Zhou Xingzu pointed at the vine and said, "I accidentally hit it with a hoe when I was digging. Although the wound healed quickly, we could all see clearly that there was red blood flowing out of the wound. Hey, this doesn’t look like an ordinary plant, does it?”
"Nonsense, will ordinary vines grow fruit?!"
Zheng Jirong waved his hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "The so-called starving the brave to death and starving the timid to death may be our fate this time."
After speaking, he directly picked up a hoe from the ground, weighed it a few times, and then walked step by step towards the vines on the ground.
As they walked, they were still muttering to Ah Xing and the others, "Don't worry, since you discovered the thing, I won't treat you badly. When the fruit is taken out, I will leave a bite for each of you, or directly Let’s make some soup and drink it together!”
"God refuses to take the blame! I, Zheng Jirong, have been able to step from a butcher to where I am today because I never missed an opportunity. I want what is mine, and I want what is not mine even more!"
After hearing what he said, Ah Xing and others couldn't help clenching their fists and cheering: "Go ahead, boss, we will support you from behind!"
"That's right! The gang leader is indeed no ordinary person. I, Tie Zhu, am convinced!"
"Have the guts!"
At this moment, the vines on the ground seemed to know something, and their chests rose and fell faster and faster. The branches and vines scattered around also moved faster, swaying crazily like tentacles!
Zheng Jirong immediately stepped on the ground and flew back to the team who had hid at the entrance of the cellar.
"You said you have the guts, right?"
"ah?"
Hua Mi quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't say anything just now, Gang Leader!"
"Hey, don't be afraid."
Zheng Jirong handed the hoe in his hand, "Take this guy and chop that vine's head to pieces!"
"Ah! I can't do it, Gang Leader!" Peanut said in horror.
"Damn it, are you a promising kid? As long as you can kill this monster, I will make you the second boss! Don't worry, we will all protect you from behind!"
Zhou Xingzu was also cheering from the side: "Yes, Second Master, hurry up, there is nothing to be afraid of with just a vine. If I hadn't had diarrhea these past few days, how could such a good thing have happened to you!"
"Axing, you are so unfaithful. We clearly agreed to sell pork and recruit girls together."
"Isn't it true that we haven't done anything yet?"
"."
Knowing that he couldn't escape, Hua Mi had a grimace on his face, took a deep breath and rushed out with a hoe in hand!
"I didn't expect this kid to be quite loyal."
"Yes, I, Ah Xing, have always been very good at judging people."
Looking at the back of the peanuts, Zheng Jirong and others couldn't help but sigh. However, before they had said a few words, they found that this boy stopped in front of the vines. He held the hoe and looked at it for a long time but did not smash it down.
Zheng Jirong immediately shouted: "Hit it!"
"Brother Rong, this thing looks so scary!" Hua Mi replied in panic.
"The more frightened you are, the more likely you are to fight it. Hurry up and hit it!"
"Okay!" Peanut held the hoe and turned it around the vines, as if looking for a place to start.
"Hit it on the head!"
"Of course!"
"Make a name for yourself!"
"come!"
"Hit it!"
"Fight! Definitely fight!"
He said this and the boy agreed, but after talking for a long time, the hoe in his hand still didn't strike.
Zheng Jirong shouted helplessly: "Hurry up and beat the hell out of it!"
"OK!"
"You should hit it!"
"Hit it!"
"You boy"
Seeing that this guy still didn't make a move after replying for a long time, Zheng Jirong shouted louder and louder: "Hit it! Damn it! Hit it!"
"Brother Rong!"
Peanut turned his head and shouted speechlessly: "Do you want me to beat him or his mother? You made me so messed up!"
After saying that, without waiting for Zheng Jirong's reply, he opened his eyes wide, gritted his teeth, and tensed up his muscles all over his body. He waved the hoe in his hand and chopped down the vines in front of him!
Then a scene that shocked Zheng Jirong and others happened. This guy's feet suddenly slipped because he exerted too much force. His whole body lost his balance instantly, like an out-of-control top, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and then "Bang" "With a sound, he fell onto his back and fainted instantly after his head hit the ground.
"What's going on?"
After Zheng Jirong, Ah Xing and the others looked at each other, they ran over angrily, put their hands on Hua Mi's shoulders and said, "Get up, stop pretending in front of me!"
Seeing that the boy's eyes were still closed, he raised his hand, curled up two fingers, and hit him with a bang. He thought it would wake him up, but after several hits, Huami still looked like he was unconscious. .
"Did you really faint?"
Zheng Jirong smacked his mouth twice, grabbed his neck and threw the kid directly to Ah Xing.
"Brother Rong, do you want us to help you?" Zhou Xingzu took the peanuts and shouted to him.
"Okay, mind yourselves!"
After saying that, Zheng Jirong took out a loaded Mark VII pistol, commonly known as the Desert Eagle, from his pocket.
.44 caliber bullet, with two thousand joules of kinetic energy, it will beat you to pieces with one shot!
Holding the muzzle of the gun, Zheng Jirong came to the vine. Without any hesitation, he aimed at the head of the humanoid vine and immediately pulled the trigger in his hand.
Snapped--!
At this moment, a vine came out from under his feet and wrapped around his left foot with a snap. A huge force came and instantly pulled him upside down into the air!
"Go to NM!"
Zheng Jirong shouted angrily, and kicked the cane that was wrapped around him with his right foot to smash it into pieces!
Then, before landing, he raised the muzzle of his gun and shot hard at the vines in the mud pit. Suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire in the cellar. After all nine bullets were fired, he turned his hand and a dagger instantly appeared in his hand. In hand!
The moment he landed, he tapped his toes, and his whole body jumped up high, crashing into the human-shaped vine on the ground like a mountain. The tip of the dagger was pointed directly at the heaving heart of the vine's chest!
It's just that he is fast, but the tentacle-like vines around him are faster than him.
Before they even came into contact with the vines in the mud pit, the vines shot out of the mud like bullets, and the sharp tops rushed towards his vitals, as if they were going to pierce him directly!
Bang bang bang! ! !
Peng Yixing, who was covering behind, stood up at this moment. The gun in his hand was spitting out flames. The bullets hit the canes accurately and instantly smashed them to pieces!
puff!
Under the cover of Peng Yixing, Zheng Jirong landed on the human-shaped vine without any obstruction, and the dagger in his hand was directly connected to the handle and inserted into the guy's heart!
A stream of blood spattered out instantly and smeared on his face!
"Pooh!"
Spitting out the blood that splashed into his mouth, Zheng Jirong wiped his face and carefully observed the humanoid vines at his feet.
His chest, which had been rising and falling, was now completely motionless, and even the vine branches swaying like tentacles around him drooped on the ground as if they were withered.
It looked like he was dead.
"This guy's weakness is quite obvious." Zheng Jirong clapped his hands, turned and shouted to Axing and the others: "Stop looking at it, come here and carry this thing away for me!"
at this time!
There was a sudden strong uneasiness in his mind. Zheng Jirong, who received the supersensory warning, quickly stepped on his feet and flew out of the mud pit like an arrow!
It’s just that it’s still a step too slow!
A vine shot out from the chest of the humanoid vine and instantly pierced into Zheng Jirong's lower abdomen!
Streams of blood flowed out of his body through this vine and directly into the humanoid vine!
The originally thin and withered vines suddenly turned red, and the stagnant heart beat slowly.
"Want to suck my blood?!"
Zheng Jirong grasped the cane that was deeply embedded in his lower abdomen with both hands. With a roar, the muscles in his arms suddenly swelled! Slowly pull out the cane from his stomach!
After feeling the severe pain in his abdominal cavity, he had to stop and pull it out like this. Maybe all the internal organs would be pulled out directly.
He then flipped his palm, and a machete fell into his palm. Using his true energy, he aimed at the cane and slashed hard, but the hardness of the cane was beyond his imagination. Even with the Qi Luck Sword, I couldn't cut it off!
"Brother Rong!"
Zhou Xingzu, Peng Yixing and others did not care about the danger at this time and rushed over. Looking at Zheng Jirong who was pale due to excessive blood loss, they used all their methods. However, after a quick effort, they all used the Eagle Claw Skill, Bullets, and Special Functions. Couldn't break the vine.
"call"
Feeling the loss of blood in his body, Zheng Jirong let out a breath. He didn't expect that after living in the world for so long, he would die here because of greed.
call out!
Just when he thought he was going to die this time, the rattan retracted faster than before!
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling white light suddenly emitted from the human-shaped vine, and then an invisible stance suddenly unfolded, instantly pushing Zheng Jirong and others away and slamming into the wall!
Raising his hand to dust off the dust in front of him, Zheng Jirong held his lower abdomen and stared intently at the human-shaped vine in the center of the cellar. At this time, the white light slowly dispersed, and he gradually saw the scene inside clearly.
This is? !
The original dry vines have disappeared, and in their place is a woman wearing a cheongsam, tall and plump, with delicate features, as if she stepped out of an ink painting? !
