Doomsday Wonderland

The tiny screams came from the snake-faced man's throat, and Lin Sanjiu almost thought he had heard wrong because of the thick layer of snake skin. She looked up and saw the apple protruding into a spherical shape on the snake-faced man's neck. As the spherical shape quickly slid down, the screams became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into its abdomen.

Lin Sanjiu's forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat.

The sound just now seemed to have also alarmed several other snake-faced people not far away - they looked in this direction, and then immediately moved. Everyone's eyes narrowed, and they let out angry lows and moved quickly. He rolled his lower body and moved to the tree where Lin Sanjiu was.

Compared with the others, the snake-faced man who just ate the apple seemed smaller. Surrounded by several taller snake-faced men, he seemed a little uneasy - he nodded his head, and the others The snake's tail at one end was also raised, and it moved bit by bit in the air, as if it was apologizing.

……how? Are these apples not allowed to be eaten casually?

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but have this idea. She was just about to crawl closer to take a closer look, but she didn't expect that a snake-faced man suddenly turned his head without warning and stared at this branch - his yellow eyes, which were about the size of a room, had no emotion at all. There was a vertical pupil standing on the ground, facing Lin Sanjiu.

She was so frightened that she immediately fell down on a branch and hid behind a rough protruding bark, hoping that the other party would not notice her.

The vertical pupils were slightly taller than hers.

Looking out from the gap in the bark of the tree, I saw that the cold transparent yellow stopped for a while, so I didn't turn away. I probably didn't find Lin Sanjiu, who looked like a little ant. The sounds belonging to the snake-faced people were still coming in high and low waves - Lin Sanjiu was deafened by the shock, and at the same time he couldn't help but secretly feel happy.

After a long while, the noise gradually subsided.

Even if you don't understand the language of the snake-faced people, you can still get a general idea from their actions: the little snake-faced people who stole food were driven to the other side far away. They could only rub their hands back and forth, with a pair of gloomy eyes. , watching other snake-faced people busy picking apples.

They obviously have a set of standards for apples: some were picked, and some were left on the tree. I don’t know if it’s because they are not mature enough or not big enough. Anyway, in Lin Sanjiu’s eyes, they are all big. There's no limit to it.

After picking the apples from the tree, the snake-faced man was not in a hurry to eat them. He just piled them all on the ground and formed a small pile. Another snake-faced man ordered them one by one, probably counting them.

Seeing the snake-faced man in charge of picking apples swinging his snake tail and swimming towards another tree, Lin Sanjiu quickly ran to the end of the branch on his hands and knees——

On the branch where she was, there were two apples well preserved.

Since there were no leaves on the tree, Lin Sanjiu had no shelter. When he was about to get close to the apple, he had to lie down and crawl forward. The closer she got, the more frightened she was by the special fleshy texture on the apple's skin.

...The trembling, fleshy apple skin will occasionally undulate when there is no wind, vaguely revealing a few pores, and then disappear again.

Lin Sanjiu swallowed and reached out to touch it lightly.

"Aha!"

A sound like a rough gasp suddenly sounded out of nowhere, almost causing her to slip. Then, a weak, thick, dry voice squeezed out from somewhere as if she was trying her best to say, "Aha, Ah, save, save..."

Lin Sanjiu stared blankly at the apple in front of her, all the hairs on her body stood up - where she touched her, several vein-like things quickly emerged from the flesh - along with the protrusions of the roots. Qingjin, the voice sounded even hoarse, and even men and women could not be distinguished: "...Huha, help..."

No matter how hard the people inside tried their best, they seemed to be able to only utter the word "help".

When the snake-faced man swam back and forth, the slight tremor caused by the ground suddenly stopped - Lin Sanjiu's rationality suddenly returned to his cage, and he quickly glanced not far away and saw the mountain-like shadow. Sure enough, he stopped moving and hurriedly rushed to Meat Apple and said in a low voice, "If you want to be rescued, shut up!"

Meat Apple gasped for breath for a few more times, obviously not willing to shut up - but it seemed that he had exhausted all his strength and was still unable to make any more noise.

Feeling the ground shaking again, Lin Sanjiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there someone trapped inside?" She murmured to herself, her voice so low that she could hardly hear her. "But this apple looks like it's solid..."

Do you want to cut the apple open and see?

She thought somewhat hesitantly.

Just when Lin Sanjiu was a little unsure, she suddenly felt a light shine on her body.

... She had always been very careful. Even if there were no leaves to cover her, Lin Sanjiu always stood behind the other apple, hiding herself in the shadows. But at this moment, the huge shadow cast by the apple suddenly lifted up, and the light instantly enveloped her whole body.

Someone took the apple away.

She turned her head stupidly and came face to face with a tall vertical pupil.

...This time, the snake-faced man definitely saw her, right?

Lin Sanjiu suppressed her desire to scream and slowly took a step back, not daring to look away from the vertical pupils for a moment.

After taking a few steps, the vertical pupil did not move with her movement - it was still facing the direction of the two apples, as if looking for the source of the sound just now.

She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly retreated deeper into the branches.

...If he managed to escape this time, Lin Sanjiu swore that he would wait until the snake-faced man left before coming out.

However, things didn't go as expected.

The apple, which still had a few veins left, suddenly started to fluctuate again - the skin-like skin trembled rapidly a few times, and after the apple bulged into the shape of several muscles, the voice screamed with all its strength again, This time, it shouted more content: "Ah... come and save me... lie, liar... I feel so hurt..."

Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat and she screamed.

Apparently the meat apples can’t be seen!

The snake-faced man was standing next to the apple at this time, and the sound was immediately clearly captured by it - the long five toes curled and stretched in the air, and with a "pop" sound, he pulled the fleshy apple that kept screaming. Come down.

Meat Apple let out a chilling cry of pain, and seemed to realize that it had fallen into the hands of a higher-level creature in the food chain. Its fleshy skin trembled at a high speed, making people dizzy: "No...ah, ah...don't kill." I...there was another person here just now, she——"

It finally managed to speak fluently, but before it could finish a sentence, it just clicked and was broken in half in the hands of the snake-faced man, and there was no sound at all.

Lin Sanjiu felt that one of her nerves jumped as if it had been cut off - she covered her mouth and did not dare to move, a long-lost fear welling up in her heart.

From where she was, she couldn't actually tell what was in the fleshy apple. The dripping "juice" dripped down the snake-faced man's hand and fell to the ground, which attracted her attention - the unique crimson color of human blood was mixed with pieces of meat, as if it had just come from. Fallen from the apple.

The status of this snake-faced man seems to be far higher than that of the little snake-faced man just now; even if he casually broke open an apple, the surrounding snake-faced men just looked up at it and said nothing. .

It licked half of the apple in its hand, and its slender and forked tongue was like a spatula, instantly shaving off the fleshy apple.

After taking a mouthful of fruit pulp, the snake-faced man tilted his head and stared at the apple in his hand, wondering what he said. The snake-faced man who had been holding the ball of light in his hand hurriedly came forward, hissed a few words, and welcomed the one eating the apple away.

Seeing that they were all gone, Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath.

After the scene just now, she didn't dare to rush out rashly again; fortunately, the bark of the tree was uneven, so it was not difficult to find a crevice to hide in.

"Just stay with them until they leave..."

Lin Sanjiu thought silently.

The activity of harvesting apples by the snake-faced man did not last long - many fleshy apples were obviously not ready for harvest yet. The snake-faced man left them on the branches and left with a bunch of picked ones.

As the snake-faced man walked away, the light disappeared. The darkness seemed to suddenly remember this lost territory, and came back in one fell swoop, once again covering this space so tightly that no one could see it.

Lin Sanjiu huddled in the groove of the tree bark and waited for a long time. After she confirmed that there was no more sound around her, she cautiously got out.

The bright light of [Ability Polishing Agent] can only illuminate a distance of four to five meters; on such a giant tree, this kind of dim light is only slightly better than nothing. After walking through several empty branches in a row, Lin Sanjiu became anxious - at least he had to figure it out first, UU Reading www. uukanshu． What happened to the fleshy apple? She just wanted to think about what to do next, didn't she?

She quickened her pace and walked through two more branches. Finally, in the corner of the silver light, she saw half a blurry shadow of an apple in the distance.

"I finally found it..." Lin Sanjiu rushed over and said to himself, "It's better to be quiet here!"

Just as she finished her sentence, a hissing sound suddenly sounded from nowhere, breaking through the darkness like thunder.

"Sure enough...that apple didn't lie..."

It seemed that he was not yet proficient in this way of speaking, and every word that Lin Sanjiu was familiar with was mixed with a strange and strange hiss. Unable to stop her hands from shaking, she reluctantly raised the violently shaking silver light and saw the speaker's face clearly in the light.

The deeply split mouth was embedded in the face of the little snake-faced man, as if to express that he was very satisfied at the moment.

"There...are really...someone here." r1152
