The Sancti's feet close together and rotate in place, and the violent whirlwind swings the gravel to both sides, like a moved towards. The probe drilled into the ground continues to explore downward, and the thick sand surface is gradually swept away. Inward pit.
The steaming heat comes from the sand, but the strange thing is that Sanji feels the temperature on the soles of the feet is lowering, Sanji's eyes shined, and the feet are continuously pounding like a sharp bayonet. In the rubbing of the gravel, a touch of piercing the real object makes a "pu chi" sound.
It's cold and greasy, like stepping into the intestines of a clammy monster. Zoro suddenly drew his knife. The blade passed by the foot of the Sancsi, and the cavity immediately cracked a pitch-black hole. Several pieces of black wet and sticky fungus blanket were cut into two pieces and fell on the sand surface, still squirming tenaciously in an attempt to retract back to the ground.
"It's disgusting, what kind of plant is this?" The truncated fungal blanket fell on Nami's feet, and a layer of goose bumps was immediately stirred up on the back of her instep, resisting nausea and fear and observing the past .
"It's a bit like a fungus-like plant. The cell activity is very terrifying. I haven't seen this plant in the biological illustrations in Dr. Kuleha's study, so it's an unknown Plants." Chopper did not know where he took out a pair of metal tweezers and cut a piece from the fungus blanket, put it in a glass bottle and put it in the bag behind it.
"Why does this thing appear under the desert?" Usopp pressed the goggles on the bridge of his nose, as if it could make him look farther and more clearly, and the sand under his feet followed the broken hole Falling downwards, the edge of the fungus blanket cut by the sword blade has emerged new black bud tissue, which is growing crazily, as if it would take a few breaths to re-heal and cover the hole again.
The inside of the cave was very dim, and the cold and dangerous smell drifted out along the entrance of the cave. Luffy leaned down, his hands abruptly stretched and moved towards the inside and grabbed a normal person. He squeezed something with the thickness of his arm easily, and the body left outside the hole turned his head and grinned at everyone: "I'm going down first!"
The voice fell, Nami and Usopp even had time to stop. Luffy suddenly disappeared in place, flying in like a spring contraction, Zoro squinted, he could not help but grab Usopp, Usopp grabbed Chopper, and the three jumped in together.
"Nami, let's go in too!" Sanji embraced Nami who had accepted his fate and jumped in.
After ten minutes.
Deep underground, Usopp turned on the flashlight and moved towards all around. What you can see is countless thick roots. These roots are surrounded by a layer of rough sand. Looking from a distance Going up is like a fold floating on the wall, but peeling off the cover of the sand, inside is the thickness of the arm… dark tentacles.
The vines that look like plants are like the tentacles of some kind of monster. They guessed in their hearts, but they couldn't be sure what the "shadow" that is densely packed like hollowing out the whole ground is the monster. .
"It's empty underneath, these things and that kind of fungus support the sand sea flowing overhead." Usopp dumbstruck looked deep, empty, and silent as if the darkness could not be seen at the end, This weird grandeur makes people feel the inexplicable trembling from the bone marrow: "How big is the bottom of this, maybe the whole Alabasta is this thing."
Usopp shook his head and denied it. This kind of terrifying thought, even if it is only part of it, is horrifying enough. This is forcibly propping the desert on top. It takes so terrifying power to do it.
"Chopper, do you know what this is?" Nami cautiously peeled off the adhered sand surface, revealing a section of dark tentacles below.
Chopper tried to use tweezers to cut a section from above, collected it and then took it for laboratory analysis, but the sharp tweezers simply couldn't hold it as if slipping, "I don't know, I've never seen it in any books Go through this thing."
After several attempts to no avail, Chopper casts a look at Zoro for help. Zoro waved his knife casually, and the blade easily smashed the sticky thick sand, but the moment it touched black It slipped and wiped it away, as if it was cut on a smooth curved mirror surface.
"en?"
Zoro was stunned, and instantly slashed again. The horrible sword technique capable of cutting steel, but still weirdly slashed away. However, cracked markings appeared on the lacquered black light slippery roots. They were not cut by the blade, but only shattered by the force conducted by the blade. There is a completely different difference between the two.
The former is a superb sword technique, while the latter can only be attributed to brute force. It is still very crude and wasteful, because Zoro knows that most of the power transmitted by the blade is slipped and unloaded, hitting the air. in.
"It's too smooth to cut down to the point of force." Zoro's eyes showed the looking thoughtful rays of light, Chopper didn't think that many quickly grabbed a small portion of the cans from the cracks with tweezers. Here, this time it was not hindered again, it seemed that the strange smoothness was limited to the surface.
Cracking…There are weird sounds coming from a distance in the dark and silent underground, like a sound of grinding ink, and like countless insects chewing flesh and bones The voice, Usopp's nervousness was the most tense. The first one raised his ears. The sound reverberating in the eardrum became clearer and clearer. It was not an auditory hallucination. He pointed in the direction of the voice: "Over there, it is the voice from over there. "
"There seems to be the direction of that battlefield." Sanji Shi interjected.
Straw Hat and the gang looked at each other, Luffy headed the entire group moved towards the position where the sound came from, and walked past. The flashlight that Usopp carried emits faint rays of light, dangling all around back and forth, cold. In the dark, he always felt that malicious eyes were peeping from a corner.
"What a strong smell of blood!" Everyone stopped and looked up. As soon as the flashlight shining on, everyone's cheeks twitched and their eyes suddenly twitched. Qi Shushu shrank into a pinhole shape, the hairs all over his body exploded upside down, and his face was unnaturally pale.
The sand layer above the head is flowing, strips of rough yellow tentacles pierce into the sea of sand in the headspace baring fangs and brandishing claws, suddenly pulling strips of fresh corpses from the sand. The blood splattered in the rough rubbing and connected into a string of beads splashed down, and countless incomplete or relatively complete flesh and blood were stuck by the tentacles and dragged out of the sand and pulled into the underground space. The densely packed tentacles were stained with blood and operated and waved above the head. The picture looks like a bloody and terrifying processing plant, the raw materials are those who have just died on the battlefield.
