“Louhan Divine Grass! Louhan Divine Grass, have you seen it?!”
…
Nan Guo fell into the stone path, and his old injuries were opened again. In addition, the fall was not light, which made his chest feel tight and painful. He coughed several times, and a few drops of blood fell on the stone path.
Lu Liran and Luo Qi looked out at the stone entrance, but there was still one Jiang Kun who had not come over.
Jiang Kun watched helplessly as the tree loosened and then fell over, its roots running out.
In fact, when Luo Qi just slid over through the rope, the tree clearly leaned towards that end. After all, the roots of the tree were mostly soaked in water and were not as strong as being rooted in the soil.
But no one knew what the state of the roots under the tree was, and they didn’t expect them to be so fragile.
After Jiang Kun noticed it, he immediately called Ah Kang to go up first, so they could leave one by one, but he didn’t expect Nan Guo to grab the front.
After Nan Guo passed by, the tree began to lean sideways.
Jiang Kun drove Ah Kang up without saying a word, and the rope slipped halfway. The tree “squeaked” and fell sideways to the left, and the rope fell heavily with it. Fortunately, Ah Kang slipped quickly, and Ke Ji quickly pulled him up by the rope.
As soon as his feet came out of the water, he heard a splash in the water, and a big guy that looked like a shark suddenly jumped out of the water. With three rows of densely spread fangs, the wide mouth seems to be able to bite someone in half!
The big fish missed the bite and fell heavily back into the water.
Ah Kang was in shock and grabbed Ke Ji tightly, without any blood on his face.
“Fuck.” Jiang Kun swallowed, and his eyes fell on the water surface that seemed to be calm again. He bet there was something in the water waiting for the unlucky guy to accidentally fall into the water.
Jiang Kun looked at the tree trunk that wwas half-buried in the water. The zelkova serrata entirely lay down in the direction of Ah Kang, and for a while, they did not sink to the bottom of the water.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and it seemed that he didn’t have much choice at the moment.
“Just do it!” Jiang Kun sighed. He stepped on the fallen tree trunk as a single plank bridge, and ran to the end of the canopy at one go.
The tree trunk was stepped on by Jiang Kun, and it quickly sank into the water. When Jiang Kun finally ran to the other side of the tree crown, Jiang Kun’s shoes were already soaked in the water.
He felt that there seemed to be an unusual force of water pushing towards him under the water. Jiang Kun was startled and immediately jumped without hesitation, trying his best to grab the branch far above his head.
However, the distance was there after all. Jiang Kun’s fingertips hit the branch, but he couldn’t grasp it at all. His heart felt cold, and he subconsciously looked under the water. Not far away, he saw a triangular fin emerging from the water and swimming towards him quickly.
Jiang Kun’s adrenaline was racing. At this moment, a force suddenly grasped his wrist, grabbed him and pulled him up.
When Jiang Kun raised his head, he saw Ke Ji’s face. He opened his mouth and immediately grabbed the tree trunk with his strength and tried his best to turn himself up.
He lay on the tree and gasped, watching the triangular fin under the tree swim around in the water and then swim away angrily.
“Brother Jiang, are you okay?” Ah Kang’s Voice came from the cave
Jiang Kun heard his voice and looked over, and saw that Ah Kang had climbed to the other side of the mountain wall.
He turned to Ke Ji again, a little surprised and full of fear and happiness: “When did you come here?! Weren’t you still there just now!?”
The wooden stake had to be three or four meters through the canopy from this side, and when Jiang Kun started, Ke Ji was still over the wooden stake! Unless it’s at the same time?

Jiang Kun was silent, so Ke Ji had already guessed that he might not be able to jump and went to catch him?

If it were him, he’s afraid he wouldn’t be able to do as well as Ke Ji. The accidents between Ah Kang and Jiang Kung happened at the same time. Even his experienced and specially trained Search and Rescue officers would have had a hard time reacting that quickly to all of this.
Lu Liran raised the corner of his mouth and heard the implication of Luo Qi’s words: “Of course, it’s him after all.”
He breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the stone path. When his eyes passed over Nan Guo, he paused and then walked over.
[This professor is really a thief. He is a professor of botany, right? He must have known something was wrong with that tree, so he ran ahead]
[Definitely, otherwise how could he possibly get through it? Kun’er is already having such a hard time]
[If people don’t do it for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth. It’s understandable, but it’s disgusting]
[Brother Lu, don’t go there!! Getting too close will make you unlucky!]
[Yes, yes, I heard earlier that the man named Ah Kang was screwed, how bad is it?]
[This professor always gives me a very creepy feeling…why do you think he wants that bit of blood? Does he look like a vampire, ah]
[He’s not a thing from the earthly world anyway]
Lu Liran walked to Nan Guo’s side, he suddenly grabbed Nan Guo’s collar and pushed him against the stone wall.
There was a “clang” sound, and Luo Qi, who was still watching the situation outside, was so shocked that he quickly turned in.
Seeing Lu Liran throwing Nan Guo against the stone wall, Luo Qi turned back silently and even tentatively waved to Lu Liran’s drone: “Can this machine see me? Come here, it’s better to take pictures outside, it’s exciting.”
It looks like he is selling fake Amway and being modest.
However, the drone still followed Luo Qi and flew outside the waterfall.
The water in the waterfall was surging and fast, and the audience in the live broadcast room could not hear Lu Liran’s voice at all. They only knew that when the camera turned back inside, Nan Guo was lying on the ground motionless, as if he was asleep.
Luo Qi looked at Lu Liran in surprise and gave him a questioning look.
Lu Liran said calmly: “He’s exhausted.”
Luo Qi nodded when he heard the words and sang harmoniously: “That’s true. I think it’s incredible that he can persist until now. It’s really extraordinary that a professor’s physical strength can be so good.”
Lu Liran faked a smile and twitched the corners of his mouth in response, noncommittal.
He shifted his gaze to Nan Guo and sank slightly. Professor Nan Guo had many more secrets than he imagined.
With Luo Qi’s cover, he consciously controlled the drone to fly out of the waterfall and forced Nan Guo to confess. His torture techniques were used to deal with invading spies and were used on ordinary people. It was not surprising that Nan Guo quickly surrendered and disarmed.
He found many empty syringes from Nan Guo, and there was still some light red liquid residue in the syringes. Under the system’s judgment, it was determined that even a dose of a few milliliters of these liquids is enough to stimulate the rapid regeneration and strengthening of human cells. Once the dosage is too high, it can easily lead to the death of the injected person.
Nan Guo himself is terminally ill, and his body will gradually lose the ability to control muscles. The final result is like a conscious vegetative state, lying on the hospital bed without dignity, with a catheter inserted, unable to control his sphincter.
He has been taking injections for several years, and the stiffness of his body has improved due to this injection.
The injection was initially diluted and extracted from the original solution, but his limited research, extraction and copying progress of the original solution could not keep up with the deterioration of his physical condition. In the end, he could only directly inject the original solution in small doses.
The activated new cells and the rigid old cells are like fighting a battle with no winner or loser.
The total amount of the original solution is very rare, so when Nan Guo learned that the source of the original solution was a mysterious plant, he began to research and track it like a fascination.
Until now.
Nan Guo’s continuous injections for several years have caused different changes in his body, some good and some bad.
Lu Liran looked at Nan Guo in front of him, wondering whether he should be considered a human or a mutant.
Luo Qi asked: “How should we take him away later?”
“Drag him with a rope.” Lu Liran said simply and roughly.
Luo Qi: “…… ” Doesn’t this take off a layer of skin? And he can’t be dragged very far.
“Or are you willing to carry him on your back?” Lu Liran looked at Luo Qi.
“It’s good to drag him around. I’ll look for something that can make it lighter.” Luo Qi changed the subject and began to look through his bag and terminal.
Finally, with Luo Qi’s friendly sponsorship, Nan Guo was curled up with his arms and legs, and stuffed into a smooth plastic basin.
“Why do you still carry this with you?” Lu Liran looked at Luo Qi with a questioning look.
Luo Qi said politely: “There are many tasks, so it is convenient to take it with you to soak your feet and rest…”
It’s a footbath.
When Lu Liran heard this, he opened his mouth and smiled: “It’s very healthy.”
Luo Qi means that when people reach middle age, they must be taken care of.
The two of them didn’t wait too long. Ke Ji, Jiang Kun and Ah Kang also came into the stone passage and reunited smoothly.
Lu Liran lit the torch again, handed one to Jiang Kun who was walking behind, and continued to lead the charge with the other.
Jiang Kun took the torch, and the flames flickered across Nan Guo’s face, and he saw that Nan Guo’s face was covered with skin flakes like broken lines. He paused, took a breath and looked at Lu Liran: “He…”
“Remember the consequences of abusing biochemistry.” Lu Liran said in a few words, gesturing for Jiang Kun to follow.
Luo Qi tied Nan Guo and the basin together with a rope and followed Lu Liran behind him.
The stone banks on both sides of the waterway are slippery and only one meter wide, allowing only one person to walk across them.
Next to it was a turbulent stream of water. The amount of water was obviously much larger than when Lu Liran and Luo Qi first came in, and there was even a faint tendency to overflow the stone path.
The only consolation is that the corridor seems to be very smooth at present, and the stones on both sides near the water are covered with moss.
It was unknown what kind of moss they are, but they are faintly glowing blue. It’s not obvious alone, but the moss densely covered on the stone forms the bright blue light that Lu Liran and the others are seeing outside now.
The little bit of fluorescent light in the dust is not enough to illuminate the road ahead, but it brings a little comfort to everyone.
The drone’s lens flew up into the sky and took a bird’s-eye view of this long, narrow and quiet fluorescent blue corridor. A few heads were like tiny black dots.
In the endless darkness, the firelight vaguely reflected their shadows on the stone wall.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a turning point appeared ahead, where the water stirred up waves more than one meter high.
Lu Liran turned his head and warned the person behind him, then carefully turned the corner.
Suddenly, it was clear before their eyes. It was not like they had walked out of the cave directly, but the light was the first time they had felt so clear since they had entered the cave for so long.
Lu Liran stopped and froze on the spot.
Luo Qi was blocked behind him. Seeing Lu Liran stop, he suddenly became nervous: “What’s wrong?”
Lu Liran then remembered to move his steps.
He made room for Luo Qi to come up.
Luo Qi dragged the unconscious Nan Guo forward, and was immediately shocked by the scenery in front of him. He immediately understood why Lu Liran stopped on the road just now.
Others followed and walked forward, and saw a flat and open area in front of them. The cave was just like the place where they first fell. It was as huge as a funnel and was dozens of meters deep.
There is a solid earthy ground under their feet, surrounded by flowers, plants and shrubs, all glowing like the moss before, and looking full of life.
What shocked everyone even more was the towering ancient trees in the center. Their trunks were as wide as several people hugging each other, soaring straight into the sky and breaking through the roof of the cave!
The beam of light shines down from the top of the cave, like a ray of sky.
The trunks of those towering ancient trees are emerald green and bright. They are not as rough and rough as other big trees. Instead, they are smooth and bright. They don’t look like bark, but like shrubs…
Lu Liran and others walked around these towering ancient trees. The closer they looked, the weirder they became.
“This doesn’t look like a tree, does it? Whose tree has such smooth bark…” Jiang Kun complained.
“If this isn’t a tree, what else could it be? Even trees can’t grow this high?!” Ah Kang opened his mouth unconsciously.
Luo Qi squinted his eyes and looked up, and said coldly: “Look above! Are they also bearing fruit?”
“Hey, it’s quite red, and it looks sweet.” Jiang Kun also squinted and grinned.
Ah Kang was puzzled: “Why do I feel that it becomes thinner and smaller as it goes up? The crowns of other trees spread out as they go up, right? It is really special.”
“Really…”
Nan Guo, who was stuffed in the basin, woke up at some point. His whole body was hot and his skin was red, peeling off as if he had been scalded by boiling water. He kept muttering: “It’s so cold, so cold…”
He opened his eyes and groped around as if he had woken up, looking for something. His voice became more and more frantic: “It’s nearby, it’s nearby, I can feel it, where…where is it?!”
Jiang Kun asked in confusion: “What did you say? What are you looking for?”
Nan Guo suddenly grabbed Jiang Kun’s sleeve, and a molted face suddenly came up to the tip of Jiang Kun’s nose, almost touching him. He opened his eyes wide: “Louhan Divine Grass! Louhan Divine Grass, have you seen it?!”
Nan Goa Foot Bath Turtle 😂😂😂😂 I’m wheezing
*Guo
💖✨💖✨💖✨
Oh.. so, Nan Guo wasn’t the one who caused the tree to collapse… meh, still don’t like him 😒 lol
Man~ why does this scenery remind me of the scene from Ice Age 3, where they find the Dino land?? And the scene from Journey to the Center of the Earth, where they see all the trees~ 😂 it’s giving that vibe~ 😁
There’s nothing like the smooth teamwork of two people who really really want someone else beat up lol.
…huh, so the giant not-trees could be actually humongous grass stalks?
Grass shouldnt make fruit, it makes grains like oat and barley and the such, so I assume a small berry bush is the trees and the grass is the undergrowth
Good point
