”Brother Zhou, what should we do?”

”What should we do? Cut it off! ”

After saying that, I took out the machete that I used to chop down branches, and charged towards the vines that had gathered around me.

However, I was already exhausted to the point where I was sweating profusely. The amount of space we could move our bodies in had also been reduced by nearly half, yet I couldn't even cut off a single vine!

Moreover, when I was cutting a vine, there would be other vines extending towards me from all directions, as if they had thoughts of their own, as they wanted to wrap around me!

Although the vines aren't moving fast, there are too many of them. If we get entangled by these things, we will definitely die!

We had no choice but to give up and retreat.

Looking at the rapidly closing branches, my heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but I couldn't think of any way!

If it was Zhang Zikong, what would he do?

As we thought about this, we retreated towards the main trunk of the man-eating tree. The space that we could move around in was getting smaller and smaller. The countless tentacle-like vines were swaying right in front of our eyes as if they were looking for food, and we couldn't help but feel our hearts go numb!

Calm down, calm down! This was just a plant, there was no thought behind it! Weakness of plants, weakness of plants... That's right! Every plant has two weaknesses! The first was afraid of bugs, the second was afraid of fire!

Thinking about this, I quickly emptied my bag. Without saying anything further, I picked up the remaining half bottle of gasoline from the fire and poured it towards the vines. Afterwards, I lit up a ball of cotton and threw it towards the place where there was gasoline!

However, just as I was about to lift the burning cotton cloth, a vine directly extended down from the tree trunk and wrapped around my hand!

”Dang, quick!” Don't worry about me, light the fire! ”

Hearing my words, Bighead took the ball of cotton from my hand without any hesitation and threw it towards the place where I had poured the gasoline! Under the pulling force, I was immediately suspended in the air!

Whoosh!

The moment the cotton cloth touched the gasoline, a wall of fire instantly rose up in front of our eyes! The fierce fire directly burned those vines until they crackled, and it did indeed create a big hole for us to burn through!

But at this time, there were countless more tree vines that hung down from the top of the tree trunk like snakes. They stretched out from behind us without saying a word!

Since I was now hanging in midair, I had no way of escaping. And no matter how much this dumb kid cursed at me, he refused to leave, so a few minutes later, we were all wrapped up by those tree vines and suspended in the air like mummies!

After our bodies were completely covered by the tree vines, I could clearly feel that the tree vines started to secrete a kind of tree sap that made people feel moist and slimy. Furthermore, after being in contact with the tree sap for a while, the skin that came in contact with the tree sap immediately began to burn in pain!

This bastard had brought so many storms and waves with him, but he never thought that he would end up dying at the hands of a plant at the bottom of the food chain!

The more I thought about it, the more upset I felt in my heart. However, being tightly bound by those vines, I was unable to move at all. There was nothing I could do!

”Brother Zhou!”

As I was enduring the pain in my body and thinking about what I had done in my life, that woman's shrill voice rang out again!

When that voice rang out, I could clearly feel that the strength of the tree vines had been greatly reduced, and the tree juice had also stopped secreting!

”Brother Zhou!”

Another sound echoed. Then, I noticed that all of the vines on my body had loosened and I had escaped from the man-eating tree.

When he landed on the ground, he could see that dead frogs were strewn all over the vicinity of the man-eating tree. The vines of the man-eating trees were obviously attracted by the dead frogs, and they rushed towards the source of the stench!

It looks like that woman saved us!

Although we don't know how she found out about this method, but no matter what, we managed to survive.

After falling from the sky, I dragged the large board along as I fled into the distance without saying anything further.

”Brother Zhou, tell me, why did that girl save us but not come out to see us?”

After leaving the attack range of the man-eating tree, Dazhi wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and asked me puzzledly. I didn't know how to answer this question, so I could only look in the direction of the man-eating tree from afar.
