Four Hundred and Fourteen Close

Back to the armored vehicle, the stop-and-go team continued to move forward. Wu Rui found that Xi Fu's state was not quite right. Based on the principle of establishing a good relationship with the leader, Wu Rui asked with concern: "Team leader, you seem to have on your mind?"

Xi Fu forced a smile: "I'm fine."

He didn't have any worries, but it suddenly occurred to him that if the collected specimens were sent back to the laboratory and tested for the same ingredients, he might be able to figure out what the strange tree was used for.

And the key is likely to be on the liquid flowing out of the canopy. If the composition is similar to egg white, then there is a high possibility of cultivating or hatching something.

Conversely, if the sugar content or energy content is relatively high, it is likely to be the food and grass prepared by aliens for further invasion of the earth.

As for improving the earth's environment...it seems to make sense that this thing can kill all the nearby plants.

He couldn't wait to go back, but he couldn't bring it up because the task hadn't been completed yet.

Xi Fu couldn't help but glanced at Wu Rui, thinking about whether he could suggest returning through Wu Rui's mouth, but thinking of the bad relationship between Wu Rui and Ye Han, he immediately dismissed this idea.

At this time, the team is not far from the impact point, and there are more and more strange trees around, and the strange trees are very adaptable. In addition to the soil, Ye Han also saw a few strange trees parasitic on the trunk, and couldn't help but sigh This thing has a strong ability to survive.

The closer to the point of impact, the higher the vigilance of the soldiers. In order to ensure safety, Ye Han even slowed down the forward speed and extended the warning distance by a few points.

When they were about to reach the point of impact, the soldiers on the right suddenly shouted: "Captain, there are giant worms!"

"What bug? Is it dangerous?" Ye Han asked immediately.

If they encounter a dangerous giant worm, the soldiers will not shout out at all, but shoot and kill it directly.

"A small beetle, showing no signs of attack...it's heading for you!" replied the soldier.

Little beetle?

Ye Han blinked suspiciously, and suddenly saw the grass not far away move, and then a unicorn about 50 to 60 cm long crawled out of the grass.

The horn alone can account for half of the body length of this thing, with a total length of 50 to 60 centimeters. It is indeed a little guy. Before the pest outbreak, this unicorn fairy will definitely be able to sell for a good price in the pet market.

Ye Han didn't intend to shoot because of a non-threatening giant insect, but was about to tell the soldiers not to shoot. The beetle had already got into a clump of grass near the armored vehicle.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed, and a few tentacles suddenly protruded from the clump of grass half a person's height, quickly binding the carapace firmly.

Ye Han had never seen this before, subconsciously picked up the rifle, held his breath and focused on aiming at the clump of grass.

The beetle bound by the tentacles struggled desperately, and its horn kept twisting, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't break free from the bind of the tentacles.

But after a while, the beetle stopped struggling and seemed to be dead.

Ye Han moved a few steps sideways to change the angle, and sure enough, he saw a white egg with a diameter of nearly one meter in the grass.

In order to prevent accidents, Ye Han gave up the idea of ​​observing closely, turned on the radio and said: "Attention all units, try not to get close to the grass..."

"Hey... Hey, what is this?" Suddenly, such a sentence came from the radio.

"What's the situation?" Ye Han was startled, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

"Captain, you are too late, something is entangled with my feet...how is it an egg?" The voice on the radio was extremely surprised.

"Don't move, I'll come right away!" Ye Han said and ran quickly to the scene of the incident, and soon saw a soldier lying on the ground, his feet were tied by the tentacles of the white egg, and there was a thicker one. The tentacles constantly clicked back and forth on the armor.

Those tentacles are very similar to the tentacles on the crown of the strange tree.

Ye Han suddenly remembered that the first strange trees found were taller, but the closer they got to the impact point, the shorter the strange trees were. It was difficult to see the growing strange trees in this place, but instead found white eggs hidden in the grass.

In other words, the farther the strange tree is from the impact point, the earlier it will take root.

Thinking of the white egg's hobby of catching giant worms, Ye Han suddenly came up with an idea: Is there any nutrient in the giant worm that is necessary for the white egg, which must be absorbed by the white egg to take root and grow?

Thinking about it this way, it can explain why the strange trees on the periphery are taller, and the closer to the impact point, the fewer the strange trees—all the giant worms were caught by the white eggs surrounding them, and no giant worms were close to the impact point, and the white eggs near the impact point How is it possible to take root?

But how did the white eggs grow on the tree?

But these thoughts just flashed through Ye Han's mind, and he immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You kid won the lottery? What are you waiting for? Don't you know how to use a knife?"

The soldier drew out his saber, and cut off the tentacles that were entangled with him one by one, but the tentacles on the white egg didn't know how to retreat at all, even if the severed beards were separated from the main body, they would continue to wrap around the soldier's ankles.

"How is it? Is this thing strong?" Ye Han asked curiously.

"It's not small, at least you can't break free." The soldier said.

Can't break free with the power of power armor? This is not only a matter of strength, the tentacles themselves must also have a high enough strength.

Ye Han pulled up the soldier who fell on the ground: "Okay, keep going, all units pay attention, stay away from the white egg!"

This time the warning was fairly timely, but Ye Han soon realized that his warning was unnecessary.

What was redundant was not the warning itself, but the more the white eggs got closer to the impact point, and more and more soldiers were entangled by the white eggs. Ye Han had no choice but to order the soldiers to board the armored vehicle and sit on the roof of the armored vehicle to continue moving forward.

Not only the soldiers were entangled by the white eggs, but even the wheels of the armored vehicle failed to escape the entanglement of the white eggs. However, with the support of strong power, the tentacles of the white eggs entangled in the tires were easily crushed by the armored vehicle.

When there were hundreds of meters away from the impact point, there were so many white eggs on the ground that one could be seen every five or six steps. It was only then that Ye Han and the others discovered that the white eggs varied in size, and the only ones that were small were melons. The size of most of them is between 70 centimeters and one meter, and occasionally you can see big ones that are more than one meter straight.

Ye Han was still thinking about how the white eggs grow on the tree,

At this time, the impact point was far away, and a large number of fallen trees could already be seen in the distance, but the line of sight could not pass through the dense canopy of the primeval forest, and could only see many white eggs on the tree holding the branches tightly with tentacles.

There is no need to guess how this thing grows on the tree.

Going forward, even the number of white eggs on the tree is unbelievable. When the armored vehicle passed by, some white eggs let go of the branches and fell on the armored vehicle, entangled the soldiers on the vehicle, and even hung from the gun barrel. A few white eggs dangled along with the armored vehicle, like decorations deliberately hung on the gun barrel. (To be continued.)
