Just moments later, corpses emerged from the water clinging to the trunks of trees. The corpses were as if they were tied to the trunk of a tree, standing with their backs to the trees without falling. From the tattered clothes on their bodies, it was clear that they were tourists who had been dragged into the water during the day, but their faces were unrecognizable, especially their faces, as if they had been eaten by wolves, and only white bones full of tooth marks remained.

But what frightened me was not the corpses that emerged from the water, but the quiet woods. Those people were still screaming in terror just now, but now the scene in front of them is ten times more terrifying than before, why didn't anyone make a sound? Could it be that they are all so frightened that they can't speak?

I slowly turned my head to look at the crowd, and my heart couldn't help but sink suddenly—everyone, including Ruan Dalong and Peach Demon, remained like puppets in the posture they had just gotten up, stopping motionless on the trunk of the tree.

"Si Ruo...... Ruan Dalong ......, "I shouted twice, but the other party couldn't even speak except for the fact that his eyes could move."

Taoist priest Li Qingyang said at this time: "No need to shout. Didn't the woman say that? She only eats fresh. These people are the food she hoards. She doesn't let people die, but she doesn't let them run either, and when she's hungry, she'll look for something to eat. ”

Li Qingyang raised his head and said, "Have you ever seen a weasel hoarding food? Isn't that woman doing the same thing?"

I've heard weasels go into rats' dens, bite off their limbs, keep them near the mouses' heaps, and then come back when they're hungry and drag the live rats away. What's the difference between those people and the rats raised by weasels?

I thought to myself and said, "Why am I okay?"

Li Qingyang shook his head and said, "I'm also thinking about why you're okay." You must have taken pills or something like that before, or rather, your own physique is not afraid of poison. ”

I don't believe I'm invincible, otherwise, I wouldn't be controlled by the Erosion of Hearts. If I had taken pills before, it would be a little more likely. I've eaten a lot of messy things like the blood of the water god, the witch medicine, and the blood of the bear, and God knows which ones have the effect of restraining the elixir.

I lowered my head and looked at Li Qingyang again after thinking: "Why are you okay?"

Li Qingyang sneered: "Poor Dao thinks that he still has some ability, that woman doesn't dare to touch me easily." ”

I stared at Li Qingyang and asked word by word, "Who is she?"

"I don't know. Li Qingyang shook his head and said, "She didn't show up again except for warning me once." I only know that she is the overlord of the second layer of Immortal Island, and I don't know anything about the rest. ”

I was silent for a moment before I said, "You watch them here, I'll come as I go." ”

Without waiting for Li Qingyang to answer, I immediately jumped up, grabbed the vine hanging from the branch and swung in the direction where the woman had disappeared. I chased it for some distance before I realized that something was wrong—how did the scenery on the way look so much like everything in my dreams?

I subconsciously looked up at the nearest vine. I remember seeing two vines side by side in a dream, and when I grabbed one of them, I almost broke the vine and fell into the water......

When my eyes fell on the rattan, I couldn't help but feel a slight shock in my heart—the vine had been cut in half. Isn't that what I saw when I jumped into the treetops in the distance and turned around?

Could it be that the dream was real?

Although my heart was cold, I couldn't stand still. After a few moments, I gritted my teeth and jumped to my feet, grabbed the vine and leaped into the distance. When the towering tree that had appeared in my dreams began to appear in front of me, I also landed on a branch.

As soon as I was squatting on the tree, I felt a chill in my body—I was squatting on the same branch in the same position I had seen in my dreams.

I couldn't help but look to my left.

In my memory, when I went to hold the knife with my right hand, my left hand pressed against the tree to fix my body, and when I was entangled by the snake man from behind, my left hand once unconsciously grabbed the trunk of the tree, and with the strength of my fingers, I should be able to leave marks on the tree.

When I looked back, I saw four finger prints on the tree.

I was shocked to see a strand of black hair hanging down from the tree, and the thick ends of the hair landed right on my wrist. I looked up suddenly, only to see an upside-down woman slowly sliding down to me against the trunk of a tree.

After a breath, the other party's face, which has no facial features, sticks to me. I subconsciously wanted to draw the knife, but the other party let out a faint sigh: "Why doesn't anyone believe that I have no malice?"

Si Ruo's voice?

I immediately became angry: "Who are you?"

"Someone who once reminded you. The woman's limbs did not move, but like the hour hand on a clock, her body was straight against the tree, and she turned around, stepped on the trunk with her feet, and said, "Do you have the courage to come with me?"

I glanced at the other person: "Why don't you dare?"

"Okay, follow me. Suddenly, the man and woman flew up from the tree with her arms outstretched, flapped the two wings attached to her clothes, and glided like a bat in the direction of the giant tree.

When the other party's figure was about to approach the water, the stagnant water on the ground suddenly split to both sides, making way for her. The woman landed before she turned around and shouted, "Come down!"

When I kicked the trunk of the tree and fell in front of the other person, the water that had been half-separated cracked in half again, and the road extended to my feet before stopping. I deliberately twisted my toes twice as my feet landed in the middle of the road without swaying.

The ground beneath my feet wasn't muddy at all, as if it had never been flooded.

Naturally, my action did not escape the other party's eyes. The faceless woman chuckled softly, "Everything on the fairy island is half-truth, fantasy and reality, and everything you see is like that. You look back now. ”

By this time I had walked over to the woman, and when I turned back, the water on the ground had returned to its original state, and it was still cloudy and calm.

The Faceless Woman slapped her palm twice, and a stone platform resembling a great avenue rose from the bottom of the water to the treetops where I had just landed.

I looked at the stagnant water that flowed down both sides of the stone platform, and I couldn't help but be slightly shocked: "It wasn't a dirt road that caught me just now, but a stone platform?"

But what did the Faceless Woman show me these things for?

The faceless woman turned and said, "Come with me! I have something to show you." ”

As she spoke, the faceless woman raised her hand and pressed it to the trunk of the tree. To the naked eye, the big tree, which looked like a sword that could not be injured, actually melted quickly under the touch of the other party's slender jade hand, as if it had encountered a soldering iron, and in the blink of an eye, a stone staircase that went straight to the ground was revealed.

"Follow me. The faceless woman took a palm-sized bead from her body, held it in her hand, and walked up the stone steps.

I followed him down the steps, and the moonlight that came through the hole in the tree behind me suddenly disappeared—the hole that had just been opened closed in an instant.

With each step I took, the stone steps behind me vanished, and I couldn't see anything around me except the endless darkness and the infinite space that stretched out on either side of the steps. It was as if the two of us were walking towards the Netherworld on a step in the void.

The faceless woman said as she walked forward, "Do you feel scared?"

"Scared. "My hand kept gripping the hilt.

The faceless woman smiled faintly: "Actually, I'm scared too." The silence, the empty darkness is the most terrifying thing, and it is no less terrifying than a ghost that appears in front of you alive. ”

"The ghost stands in front of you, at least you know what it is, but the endless darkness can bring you countless terrifying associations, because you don't know what will appear in the next moment behind the dark shadow. ”

The faceless woman's voice sank and said, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will turn back? In this secret passage, the only thing you can see is me." Are you scared, I'm wearing a familiar human skin, right?"

"When you see my face, you'll think that someone you know is dead, and I'm just a demon in human skin. Whose face are you most afraid of seeing?

"Shut up!" I roared, pulling out half of my long knife. But I knew in my heart that my roar was just a disguise for the fear in my heart.

The faceless woman chuckled softly, "I'll take two more steps before I turn back." If you stand where you are, we're just a knife away, and you can split me in half with just one shot. ”

As he spoke, I had already taken a step, but I instinctively stopped.

"I'm turning back!" the faceless woman slowly turned her head as she stepped down the stairs again, her face that had been covered with a white cloth turned flesh-colored the moment she turned her head, as if a human skin was covering her face along the side of her face.

Half of her face became clearer and clearer in my eyes, but the faceless woman pasted the Night Pearl in her hand to her face, and her face was instantly covered with a layer of hazy light and shadow by the Night Pearl.

I could see her face, but I couldn't see who she was, the only thing I knew for sure was that her face was very familiar, like the person I used to spend time with.

The woman suddenly closed her hands, hiding most of the light of the night pearl, and her face appeared clearly in front of my eyes—it was me.

"Kill—" I screamed with a slash.
