Jin Zhuyuan walked past it. The scene was right in front of him. His face turned pale.
"Focus, prepare to land!" Zhou Yu's shout brought him back to reality.
The three of them descended. They were getting further and further away from the lake where the aquatic dragons were resting. Soon, they could no longer see them.
They landed on a tree. Zhou Yu lowered his head to observe the ground. Wu Yun followed him. They stood back to back and took out their guns.
The only newbie in the team, Jin Zhuyuan, landed too. He immediately went to Zhou Yu and Wu Yun. They formed a triangle formation.
Wu Yun looked at the locator on his wrist. All of the researchers had a tracking device on their ankles. Once the signal was received by the tracking device, it would be able to determine the location of the researcher who went out.
The locator showed that the two researchers were not far away.
Wu Yun made a gesture. The newbie followed Wu Yun with his gun. Zhou Yu kept his back to them and looked behind them.
There was an ancient tree in front of them. Their roots were out of the ground and they were intertwined.
Wu Yun stopped. The newbie wanted to go forward but Wu Yun stopped him.
"Be careful. Those are not ordinary trees."
All plants without animal nerves were categorized as Grade-E creatures. They were the safest creatures.
Jin Zhuyuan turned his head and saw that one of the researchers had been pierced through by the twisted roots of the tree. He had become the tree's nutrition.
"Oh my god …" Jin Zhuyuan was shocked.
This wasn't the first time Zhou Yu had seen such a situation. The last time he and Mo Ye were in the primeval forest, they had also seen vines that used the fragrance of fruits to attract prey and then wrapped around the prey to absorb nutrients.
His body did not move at all.
"How … How do we save him?"
Wu Yun shook his head. "It's impossible … We can't save him …"
The researcher seemed to have heard their conversation. He opened his eyes slightly. His gaze was filled with desire. His lips moved.
"What is he saying?" Jin Zhuyuan asked.
"He's saying, 'Please kill me,'" Wu Yun replied.
He was in agony. Every minute and every second was torture.
Wu Yun raised his gun. No one stopped him. However, what he hit was not the researcher, but the tree.
Bang! The bullet sank into the tree trunk, and the neurotoxin began to spread. The tree quickly withered and split apart from the middle, falling down with a loud rumble.
Zhou Yu took a step to the side, and the tree fell beside him.
Wu Yun came to the broken root. The researcher's painful expression gradually became peaceful because of the neurotoxin.
Wu Yun saw that he was still holding the sampler in his hand, so she took it out, sealed it, and put it in her backpack. Then, she took off his research recorder from his wrist.
"Is he done?" Zhou Yu asked.
The end meant that the researcher had not died yet. In this world, death was sometimes a form of release.
"Yes." Wu Yun nodded.
He walked toward Zhou Yu. As he walked, he looked at the GPS on his wrist and said, "I don't think the other researcher is in a better state."
At this moment, Zhou Yu suddenly pulled the trigger. The bullet grazed Wu Yun's shoulder. Wu Yun quickly dodged. The newbie kept firing. It was exceptionally loud in the silent forest.
Wu Yun turned around and saw the dead researcher standing up shakily. His eyes were unfocused, and his eyeballs suddenly turned white. His body that was destroyed by the tree root was hanging there. He was walking toward Wu Yun step by step.
"What's going on? Our bullets can't kill him! "
Jin Zhuyuan took a step back. He had already emptied his magazine.
