Xiao Jing suddenly hugged Bai Leyang, his face was pressed against his chest, with a little crying: "Brother Leyang, what should I do, what should I do......"

Bai Leyang was a little at a loss, and a little inexplicably familiar, as if there was once a person who hugged him like this and cried. This familiarity made his body stiffen, and after hesitating for a moment, he put his hand on Xiao Jing's shoulder and pushed her away: "That, Xiao Jing, what happened?"

Xiao Jing cursed in his heart and cursed the idiot who didn't understand the amorous feelings, and sobbed on his meal: "Brother Leyang, do you remember the bird eggs that Xiao Shu found for us?"

Bai Leyang was stunned for a moment, thinking of what Cang Si said today, "What do you mean are those ...... It's unlikely, there is not only one bird in this forest. ”

"Nope! That's it! Xiao Jing's eyes were hazy with tears, "Originally, I was just a little guessing, but then I remembered that you said that voice was like Uncle Wang, I knew that it must be, what should I do, if the leader knows about it, he will definitely kill me, what should I do!" ”

Bai Leyang frowned, "He shouldn't be so ruthless......"

"How could not!!" Xiao Jing raised his tone sharply, and suddenly remembered what this place was, and then lowered it, "Have you forgotten what he said today?!" ”

"He's a cold-blooded man! Brother Leyang, we will all be in danger around him! Brother Leyang, let's leave quietly, okay......"

“…… Right now? ”

"Uh......h I don't want to die......"

"Okay." Bai Leyang scratched his hair irritably.

After the two of them were far away, Cang Si, who was leaning against the tree, opened his eyes and got up.

Behind Cang Si, there was a thin plate where he was leaning on just now, and almost at the same moment that Cang Si left there, several black insects penetrated the thin plate and drilled out, and a few breathing thin plates were swallowed by the sea of insects.

Cang Si glanced at it lightly and walked in the direction where the two left.

After devouring the thin plate, the sea of worms quickly returned to the tree, lurking quietly, waiting for the next person who was sitting on the tree in ignorance.

The quiet forest is as peaceful as ever, but what lies beneath the illusion is the truth that devours all life.

――――――

Xiao Jing and Bai Leyang cautiously walked forward with their senses, and when they passed a certain tree, Xiao Jing's gaze swept over, and then the whole person froze.

Bai Leyang walked a few steps and realized that something was wrong, turned around and saw Xiao Jing stiff next to a tree, "Xiao Jing? ”

“…… Elder brother...... Face ......" Xiao Jing's lips trembled, and the voice he made was extremely light and thin as if he was afraid of waking up something, with suppressed fear.

Face?

Bai Leyang walked to Xiao Jing's side suspiciously, and followed her line of sight...... There was a vein on the trunk of that tree, which looked like a human face!

The human eyes on the veins were closed, Bai Leyang's breathing was lightened, and he pulled Xiao Jing to move away from the big tree little by little, and just as they were about to let go of their hanging hearts, the old hoarse voice sounded from behind them.

"What are you two little ones doing?"

Bai Leyang was startled, Xiao Jing covered his mouth so that he didn't let himself scream, and after turning around, they found that there was also a tree behind them, and the tree had veins similar to human faces.

It's just that this tree has its eyes open.

"We ......" Bai Leyang twitched the corners of his mouth at those cloudy and obscure eyes, unable to speak.

The big tree's eyes rolled, as if he knew what they were afraid of, so he closed his eyes and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I'm an unheard tree." ”

"Unheard of the tree?" Seeing that the seeping eyes were closed, Bai Leyang and Xiao Jing's minds were a little relaxed, and when they heard the words of the unheard tree, thinking that the other party should not have any malicious intent, Bai Leyang couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." The eyelids moved, as if they thought that they would be frightened by the unheard tree and endured not opening their eyes, "The unheard tree is one of the endemic tree species of this forest, and newcomers can know some basic things about the dry city from the unheard tree, so as not to know nothing after arriving in Midtown, if I didn't guess wrong, you are the newcomer this time." ”

Bai Leyang still kept a close distance from the unheard tree, nodded when he heard its words, and after remembering that it couldn't see, he said, "Yes." ”

"What about your guides? Aren't they there for you? ”

Xiao Jing's eyes flashed.

"No," Bai Leyang hesitated and said, "We are separated from him." ”

"Separated? Hehe~" The big tree made an old and laughing voice, which was really not good, "It's not a good habit to lie, newcomer, you can't stand the leader and leave secretly, this is not an uncommon thing in the past." ”

Bai Leyang pinched his earlobe, and suddenly heard the big tree ask, "Who is your guide?" ”

Bai Leyang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiao Jing, and said, "I don't know." ”

"Don't know?"

"He didn't tell us names." Thinking of this, Bai Leyang frowned, and found that Cang Si may not have trusted them, "Well, he's quite tall, wearing black clothes, and he looks good...... By the way, although he is a man, his hair is very long, and he is always tied together. ”

Dressed in black and with long hair, it shouldn't be so coincidental......

The big tree opened his eyes suddenly, and the light that came out made Bai Leyang's breath stagnate: "Aren't his clothes particularly clean!" And without a cape! ”

Bai Leyang didn't speak, Xiao Jing hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, isn't there something wrong?!" ”

Da Shu closed his eyes again, Bai Leyang's breathing only eased at this time, Da Shu was silent for a while, and said slowly: "If your leader is him, then I won't tell you anything." ”

"Why!" Xiao Jing asked sharply.

But instead of answering her question, the tree said, "The forest is not safe at night, so return to your guide, newcomer." ”

Xiao Jing was unwilling, his eyes rolled, and he pulled Bai Leyang, who looked in a trance, towards the road they came, and said in his mouth: "Hmph, if you don't tell sù, you won't tell sù, I think we are rare!" ”

Bai Leyang was pulled by Xiao Jing to squat next to the bush, glanced at her inexplicably, and saw Xiao Jing making a "shhh" gesture to him and didn't speak. What could be seen through the layers of shrubs was the place where they had just stood and the two strange trees, Bai Leyang glanced at the open-eyed tree with a complicated look, and lowered his eyes.

Those eyes, where had he seen them, the trembling and fear that spread from the bottom of his heart, could never be forgotten.

Something flashed through his mind, and before he had time to think deeply, he heard Xiao Jing's excited voice next to him, "Hey! It's coming, it's coming! ”

Bai Leyang looked intently, and sure enough, a few more "newcomers" with tattered clothes walked up to the big tree, and after being taken aback like them, the big tree also accosted them and asked who their leader was.

However, this time, Dashu did not hesitate to tell these people some of the "rules" of Midtown, and it was clear that there was nothing wrong with their guide.

Xiao Jing and Bai Leyang extracted another piece of information from the big tree's words, because of the rarity of unheard trees, many newcomers can't touch this kind of big tree, so they can also get this information from someone in Midtown, who called that person "three no-answers".

When the newcomer asked what the "three don't answer" was, Dashu said, first, how to go out of the city without answering; second, how to become stronger and not answer; Thirdly, one qiē about the city lord does not answer.

In the same way, the big tree warns them not to leave the guide until they reach Midtown, because the newcomers without the protection of the guide are like newborns who have just been born, and if they are not careful, they will be killed.

Then Xiao Jing and Bai Leyang watched as one touched another big tree that didn't open its eyes, the tree still didn't open its eyes, but its mouth opened wide and swallowed the person at once, and Xiao Jing, who had just almost touched the tree, broke out in a cold sweat.

I only heard the big tree laugh, but he didn't say that the tree was also unheard.

Xiao Jing in the back didn't listen, pulled Bai Leyang and ran a long way, gasping and asking Bai Leyang: "I remember, during the day today, that person said that he would go to Midtown immediately, right?" ”

Bai Leyang nodded.

Xiao Jing thought for a while and clenched his fists: "Okay!" Let's go back! ”

Bai Leyang was stunned: "You, didn't you say that he would kill you?" ”

"I know, but this forest seems more dangerous than him!" Xiao Jing turned his head to stare at Bai Leyang suddenly, "But I said in advance, I must not tell him about eating bird eggs!" ”

Bai Leyang was looked unnaturally by Xiao Jing's cold scrutinizing gaze for a while, and always felt that Xiao Jing at this time was different from her usual, but he still nodded.

Xiao Jing retracted his gaze, patted the sawdust accidentally stained on his skirt, and said to Bai Leyang with a smile: "Okay, let's go!" ”

――――――

"Finally gone."

The big tree said this, and when the newcomers were puzzled, the tree split from the center, and before the newcomers could come back to their senses, their consciousness had already dissipated.

Licking the blood on his pale nails, he neatly dissected another tree, pulled out the person who had already been suffocated, and tied all the "prey" together with tree vines, and his scarlet eyes looked at the direction where Xiao Jing and Bai Leyang left, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

It would be nice if their leader wasn't Cangji.

Suddenly, something fell from the sky, and subconsciously reached out to catch it, it was a piece of paper with several rows of elegant and beautiful words written on it.

[During the special period, illegal killings, holiday cancellations, return to the city immediately. 】

“…… WTF!!”

He said that Cang Si could not rest assured that the newcomer was hanging out by himself!

It's good that I didn't shoot at those two.

――――――

When Xiao Jing and Bai Leyang went back, it was already dark, and Cang Si sat next to the tree with his legs bent and his eyes closed, as if he had never left.

Bai Leyang and Xiao Jing quietly walked to their original positions.

"Coming back?"

The two froze.

Cangji opened his eyes, didn't ask the two of them what they had done, stood up and said, "It's time to go." ”

"Huh? Oh! ”
