875. The Mysterious Little Tree
This is a very obvious thing, he didn't come back at the appointed time, no one answered the communicator, Han Chenghe suddenly went crazy, and all these signs indicate that something was wrong.
Now the thing that Jiutian needs to consider is to go back to Immortal King City immediately to report this matter, or try to solve it.
There is no doubt that the most important thing to fight for is to return immediately, report to Weixue Company, report to the club, and report to the Spirit Plant Association, this project is a three-party project after all, no matter which side will not sit idly by and watch their own people fall into danger.
After the report, there was nothing to do with him, but there is no doubt that even if this commission fails, his commission will not be paid. If all goes well, the best outcome is that no one else is in danger, but nothing happens. The Weixue Company and even the Spirit Plant Association may privately repay him with some money.
But now the problem is not only a question of money, he is not short of this money. The current accident is just a guess on his part, although he is ninety percent sure, but the remaining layer still makes Jiutian hesitate.
And thinking deeply, it will take at least five hours to return to Immortal King City from here, and after a series of things such as reporting the situation and setting off the rescue team, it will be tomorrow morning. He didn't know what would happen to Liu Gaoyu and the others during this period.
If someone encounters a danger to his life or even dies because of his decision, Jiutian, as a normal person with a normal conscience, will not be able to do so. Even Ding Siyuan, although there are some contradictions in the relationship between the two, this will not make Jiutian feel at ease that he deserves to die.
Of course, in addition to this, there is another very practical reason, and that is the issue of reputation. In other circles, you may encounter such a thing, and it is normal to go back to find help. But in the Seeker's Circle, there is a tacit acquiescence to the fact that the Seekers in the same commission are companions to each other when working in the field.
Even if he goes back to report and the rescue is successful, Jiutian will be left with the image of a coward who abandoned his companions and escaped alone. The reason is that it is normal to encounter danger while working in the field, and if you don't lend a hand, others will look down on you. While this isn't necessarily the right thing to do, it's just the way it is.
So considering all these reasons, the best thing to do for Nine Days is to go into the mountains immediately to find someone else now. Of course, Jiutian would not completely bind himself to this kind of rule, after all, he had time to retrace this life-saving magic technique, if things were really impossible, he would definitely not put himself in a dangerous situation. Nothing is more important than his own life, and these people are not worth risking his life.
"You wait in the shuttle, I'll go into the mountain and see. Jiutian looked at the driver's worried expression and said, "If I don't come back within two hours, you will immediately set off to go back, report the matter, and find someone to rescue." ”
He gave the driver a reassurance pill so that he wouldn't wait aimlessly. Then he put a layer of rope on Han Chenghe. Judging from Han Chenghe's aggression just now, even if he loses his mind, it has not yet reached the point of mutation, and even if Han Chenghe wakes up and continues to go crazy, this rope can guarantee that he will not be in danger.
As soon as he set off and walked a few steps, Jiutian seemed to remember something, returned to the shuttle, found the spare clothes that several other people had put on the car, and each took one, and then walked into the mountains and forests that fell into darkness without looking back.
The whole mountain is very large, and it is not easy to find the five people who are scattered. Nine days until he walked to a place where he could not see the shuttle, then turned and went into the plantation and took Groot out. When it comes to tracking and searching for people, Groot is still a good messenger and has a lot of experience. The reason why he took other people's clothes was to make it easier for Groot to find them by smell.
The clever Groot is now familiar with this matter as well. Jiutian took out a coat that Liu Gaoyu put in the shuttle, and Groot consciously came up and sniffed lightly on it.
Groot then kept moving around, discerning some of the remaining scents in the air.
Soon, it made a discovery, meowed twice at Jiutian, and then ran in one direction.
Jiutian followed closely behind, running cautiously and observing his surroundings. The disappearance of five adults means that the source of danger may not be easy to deal with, and even if he has the ability to go back in time, he does not want to swagger and expose himself to danger.
As Groot ran, the nine days deepened, the sky had completely darkened, and the cloudy weather caused the moon to disappear, and the surroundings could be said to be pitch black.
Gradually, Groot began to slow down the pace of running, and Jiutian noticed that the hair on the little guy's body was slightly upturned, and the tail was very nervously pressed underneath, which meant that Groot felt some danger.
Jiutian thought about it, generally speaking, humans or animals would not let Groot, who is a spirit plant, have this kind of fried hair, unless it is ...... It is also a spiritual plant.
He thought about it, in the spirit plant world, Groot was a kind of spirit plant located in the upper layer, plus Jiutian personally cultivated it with the light of plants and trees, in fact, there were not many spirit plants that could make Groot feel threatened.
On such an ordinary mountain, there is a kind of spirit plant hidden that can make Groot feel threatened?
Nine Heavens has another hunch that this unknown spirit plant is likely to be the reason for the disappearance of the five people, as well as the source of danger. He still remembers the events of the Nightmare Root earlier.
Just as he was thinking, Jiutian unconsciously yawned.
This yawn came to an abrupt end halfway, and a vigilant look appeared in Jiutian's eyes, because a sense of exhaustion came up for no reason. It's not very strong, but I can really feel it, not from the body, but from the spirit, as if he hasn't rested for a long time. In addition to this faint feeling of exhaustion, Jiutian also felt that his consciousness seemed to be a little sluggish.
This feeling is almost the same as Han Chenghe's reaction at that time. At this time, he knew that Han Chenghe was not suddenly crazy, but obviously under the influence of the unknown.
In addition to these, Jiutian also keenly felt that it seemed that from a certain boundary, the mountains and forests became silent. Silence is different from silence, and you can't hear even the most basic insect chirping in the mountains and forests.
All of these signs indicate that he may now be stepping into the realm of some kind of dangerous spirit plant.
This mental exhaustion and sluggishness made Jiutian uncomfortable, and he had to find a way to solve it, and if something happened that was quick and fatal, he feared that he wouldn't have time to use time backtracking.
"By the way, try Reiki. Jiutian suddenly thought that there were still some cherry blossom tides stored in his plantation, and this kind of spiritual flow could be very good at calming people's emotions, expelling negative emotions, and had a calming effect.
Thinking of this, Jiutian immediately took it out of the plantation and then uncorked it for use.
A faint pink glow overflowed from the mouth of the bottle, enveloping it for nine days. A faint aroma penetrated his nostrils, and Jiutian felt a burst of cool air rush into his mind along with his breath.
The perfect-level spiritual qi flow is indeed very useful, the tiredness and sluggishness in Jiutian's heart quickly disappeared, and now that he has figured out that it is not a person who is making trouble, but a spiritual plant, then Jiutian has no need to worry about whether he is exposed or not. If this spirit plant had its own consciousness, I'm afraid it would have discovered him a long time ago.
The effect of the cherry blossom tide will continue for a while, and Jiutian picks up Groot and continues to move forward according to the instructions of the little one.
With the support of the Perfect-level Spiritual Qi Flow, he quickened his pace forward, almost running, and after about ten minutes, he turned an abrupt boulder, and a faint light appeared in front of him.
Jiutian stopped, surprise in his eyes.
There was an unreasonable clearing in front of it, but what was even more unreasonable was that a small tree about the same as an adult man grew in the center of the clearing, or the clearing spread outward around the small tree.
The slender trunk is about the thickness of an adult man's arm. But the most eye-catching thing is the canopy of this small tree.
The branches were covered with rose-pink leaves, densely stacked together, and from a distance, they looked like a rose-pink cloud that had fallen to the world.
It's so beautiful!
The first thought in Jiutian's heart was to be beautiful, and it was in this kind of dark mountain forest around him, such a tree suddenly appeared with colorful brilliance, which was very mysterious and fantastic.
But then, Jiutian's eyes noticed the end of the small tree, and his pupils subconsciously contracted, and Wudao's familiar figure was lying under the tree, his eyes closed.
It's Liu Gaotang and others!
Jiutian carefully observed for a few seconds, and saw that the slightly undulating chests of several people suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, which indicated that the five people were not in danger of life for the time being, and if they were breathing, they were still alive.
But it is not out of danger yet.
The appearance of Nine Days may have made the little tree feel the crisis, and a faint pink mist emanated from the canopy of the tree, slowly spreading out in all directions.
He could guess with his toes, and if he accidentally inhaled this mist, he was afraid that he would fall into a deep sleep like Liu Gaotang and them. At the same time, he was actually a little strange, he didn't have any of the same feelings when Han Chenghe was affected before. It was only after knowing that he had just gotten very close to the small tree that he reacted.
This seems to indicate that his resistance to this small tree seems to be high?
Although there is such speculation, Jiutian does not plan to experience it for himself. In view of the fact that the tide of cherry blossoms worked before, Jiutian did not hesitate to take out two more and then use them directly. Two perfect waves of cherry blossoms surrounded him, also pink.
The mountains and forests were suddenly filled with a lot of pink light, and it looked extremely romantic. But there are also dangers in this romance.
Jiutian was not in a hurry, but cautiously retreated a distance, waiting for the pink mist to drift over, wanting to test it. He is highly focused at the moment, always ready to use time rewind as soon as something irresistible happens.
The fog didn't spread too quickly, but it gradually spread to the front of Jiutian after a certain amount of time.
To the surprise of the Nine Heavens, the light of the Sakura Tide actually blocked the fog from the outside and did not touch him. But at the same time, he also found that the tide of cherry blossoms was rapidly consumed, and the speed of passing was several times faster than before.
Originally, a bottle of Perfect-grade Sakura Tide was enough to last for half an hour, but at the current consumption rate, it can last up to five minutes at most.
Five minutes is enough!Nine Heavens breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked towards the small tree. Another plush of pink mist wafted out. Mighty and shrouded. This special spirit plant, even if it is not a true spirit system, often has a little bit of simple consciousness and a premonition of danger.
But it's a pity that the Nine Heavens Perfect-level Sakura Tide has a lot of inventory, which is enough to fight a protracted battle with it.
Of course, Jiutian didn't plan to stalemate, he aimed at Liu Gaotang's position, rushed over without pause, then bent down to carry him up, and ran out quickly, bringing Liu Gaotang out of the fog-shrouded range.
Jiutian lifted Liu Gaoyu's upper body up, leaned against a tree, and then opened a bottle of cherry blossom tide again and used it on him.
After about a minute, a pink mist escaped from Liu Gaotang's nostrils, and his eyelids twitched slightly, as if he was about to wake up.
Obviously, the Cherry Blossom Tide is useful, not only to defend against the pink mist attacks of the small trees, but also to heal the affected ones.
But the matter is not over, and there are still four people waiting for rescue. Nine days left the willow high and returned to the realm of the small tree. The two pink mist attacks dimmed the rose-pink glow on the canopy, which cost a lot.
Jiutian's actions seemed to anger the small tree, and the bodies of the other four people who were lying down began to tremble slightly, as if they wanted to get up from the ground.
Thinking of Han Chenghe's aggressiveness before, Jiutian could probably guess Xiao Shu's purpose, which was probably to manipulate these four people to attack him.
But this is destined to be useless, Jiutian Eye is fast, and he used another bottle of spiritual qi flow on himself, and at the same time took out another bottle and released it at one time by spraying.
The gushing pink aura brilliance turned into a torrent and swept forward, and the trembling bodies of the four people were stunned at the same time, and they fell into a static sleep again. Jiutian used this method to temporarily cut off the connection between the four of them and Xiaoshu.
However, this way of using it could not last long, Jiutian took advantage of this short moment, one by one, picked up Lu She, who was closest to him, and rushed out with Hou Weiyi, and took them to the place where Liu Gaoyu was placed before, and then treated them with the same tide of cherry blossoms.
concocted it in the same way, and soon, Jiutian brought back the last Ding Siyuan and Zhao Rong.
When he came back with the two of them, he found that Liu Gaoyu had woken up, and was squatting beside Lu Shi and Hou Weiyi to check on the situation of the two at the moment.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Liu Gaotang turned his head with a complicated expression.
