Hua Yun lowered his head, and a skull was shattered under his feet.

Hua Yun looked further, and the road that stretched to the middle of the dense forest was paved with white bones.

Hundreds of bones piled up on the ground, forming a path of bones. There are human bones and animal bones, and it can be seen that there are many people and animals who died here in the cannibal forest. I'm afraid that this death zone was originally inhabited by human beings, but it has been too long, and it is located in the mountains, so no one has found it.

In addition, the death zone was not too big at first, but because after becoming famous, countless people came to admire it, and finally died here, which became the white bone road here.

Hua Yun walked into the forest, and the road behind him was immediately blocked.

Hua Yun quickly walked to the middle of the forest, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes in surprise when he saw the scene in front of him.

He thought he could see the main tree of the man-eating tree here, even if the main tree was as small as the main vine of the Ghost King Vine, he was not surprised.

But here he saw not a tree, but a dilapidated village. There are only about 30 houses in this village that have collapsed, and there are only a few branches left in the yard made of tree branches.

The fact that there was a human village within the scope of a man-eating tree was too subversive to his concept.

When he saw the White Bone Road, he thought that this would be a mountain of corpses and bones, but it turned out to be a peaceful village like an ordinary mountain forest.

This is completely different from what Hua Yun imagined, this small village is covered by dense forests, and it is completely impossible to see the inside from the outside. He could only see the dense forest outside, so he didn't see the village.

This village is different from the three villages outside, this village is built in woodland, and it is not too big.

In the open space in the middle of the village, a small withered tree no more than three meters tall is enclosed in a circle of rocks.

Hua Yun said: "Don't tell me, that withered little tree is the main tree of the cannibal tree?" ”

Hua Yun really didn't believe it.

Because this kind of enclosure is somewhat like the fear of God in the old days. For example, some places still revere trees as if they were gods. Tie red belts on some ancient trees and pray for peace.

There was also a stone tablet erected at the edge of the small tree, Hua Yun walked closer, and the text on it turned out to be oracle bone inscription.

This time, Hua Yun was no longer surprised, but the history of the oracle bone inscription dates back to more than 3,000 years ago.

This, does this mean that Ertu existed thousands of years ago?

Is it still true that the master learned the scriptures, if there was doom at that time? Heaven must have perished a long time ago.

This, this Huayun is getting bigger and bigger the more he thinks about it.

And more than 3,000 years ago, would there have been people in such a place? It's still oracles, and if archaeologists get here, I'm afraid they're going crazy.

He carefully read the words on it. Because of the outside world, the culture here is different from the outside world, and some shops are still using ancient fonts, such as some symbols that are also from very ancient civilizations.

Therefore, Hua Yun deliberately spent some time learning some words since the emergence of Chinese civilization. He paid special attention to the ancient texts, so he knew the oracle bone armor very well.

This text looks like it was from the Shang Dynasty. However, it is more ancient, and it should be from the early Shang era.

In the Chinese records, in the early Shang era, the Xia Dynasty was still the lord of China. At that time, the population of China did not seem to be large, even if the people in the city were not satisfied, was there still anyone in this ancient deep mountain?

He read the text carefully, and it was recorded that their ancestors had come here because of the war and did not want to participate in the war between Shang and Xia as soldiers.

Here they found this little tree very special. There are no animals around the small tree, so it is very safe.

They believe that coming here is the guidance of the gods. So that they can live in peace.

So they worship the small tree as if it were a sacred tree.

"Damn, this stele is worth a fortune." Hua Yun remembers that when he consulted a university professor on Chinese history, although Huaxia had a lot of evidence for the civilization of the Shang Dynasty, it was never found in the legendary Xia Dynasty, but there were many rumors and myths and legends.

And now this stele writes about the existence of Shang and Xia, which is simply a historic breakthrough.

He then looked down. It is written their reverence for the sacred tree.

They live here and sometimes find human animal carcasses in the morning, and the animal carcasses are fresh.

At night, they observed that the roots of the trees around them were movable, and they would even use their roots to move before sending animals caught in the forest to the young trees.

The crowd was suddenly even more in awe of the Divine Tree. Hua Yun guessed in that era. It was an era of superstition and mythology, which made people feel that the sacred tree was revered by the surrounding forest, so the trees offered sacrifices to the sacred tree.

They sent the carcasses of the animals to the sacred tree, where they waited for worship and prayer before they shared and ate them.

They were even more in awe of the sacred tree as a gift from God.

The village gradually grew, and when the tree grew to a height of three meters, it bore fruit.

Some people took the fruit as a gift from the gods and sent it to the village elders to eat. After the old man ate it, he was surprised to find that his strength was increasing, and he suddenly became dozens of years younger, and he became the original young man.

At this time, the people of the village believed in the sacred tree even more. Over time, more and more fruit fell on the small trees, and the people in the village remained young and middle-aged, and lived for more than 200 years.

At that time, this age was like a fairy.

And more importantly, they have always maintained their agelessness.

And then the people who go down are all words that sing praises to the sacred tree.

Hua Yun wanted to find out if there was any other information, but the village was already dilapidated, and there was nothing else except this stone stele.

Hua Yun frowned and said in surprise: "Since these people didn't die, why didn't they continue to record history?" ”

"Actually, that's only part of it."

The voice of the ghost king vine appeared in Hua Yun's mind. Hua Yun saw the information that Ghost King Teng got from the cannibal tree, which was the perspective of the cannibal tree. Although those people worshipped the sacred tree as a god, it was only the beginning of the growth of the sacred tree. Moreover, after the cannibal tree fell to the world, it chose a different path of evolution, and did not want to hide underground and accumulate power like the Ghost King Vine.

It grows into a tree and goes the other way. However, it has the same origin as the ghost king vine, and it is still a fierce branch. The trunk is weak, so it is weak at this point.

So when the cannibal tree found these people, it didn't eat them all, but kept watching. These people dwelt around it and worshipped him as a god. The cannibal tree sensed these people's thoughts and took the initiative to grab some animals as a gesture of goodwill. It is to let these people stay, so that these people can protect it and keep the subject from harm until it grows.

These people are even more in awe of it.

The cannibal tree also bears fruit, and this fruit has part of its strength and vitality.

Therefore, these fruits not only enhance people's resilience, but also have the effect of prolonging people's life. This made the people here stay in awe of it for more than a hundred years.

But as time went on, the fruits these people got from the cannibal tree made them greatly stronger, and they were no longer ordinary people who fled the war back then.

They become greedy and want more. The few fruits that cannibal trees produce in a year are simply not enough for them, and they want to become stronger.

Finally someone started the idea of the main trunk of the cannibal tree. This would have been blasphemous. But they want to be stronger. Since the fruit of the Divine Tree is so powerful, then the Divine Tree itself must be able to make them immortal.

So a few people did something to the sacred tree one night. Although the others disagreed, they did not stop it, they also wanted to live forever and be as powerful.

The man-eating tree, which was only more than three meters tall, had a branch cut off, and the man-eating tree was afraid.

In an instant, the entire forest moved, and countless roots and whiskers danced wildly to devour the three of them.

The sacred tree that had been a long time had suddenly become a demon, which made the rest of the village cry out.

Where is this sacred tree. It's a demon at all. They tried to escape, but the man-eating tree was furious. So the people in this village are fleeing.

At that time, the forest was not as dense and impermeable as it is now, because of the weakness of the man-eating tree, so this forest was just an ordinary forest.

Dozens of people escaped, and two escaped.

The cannibal tree didn't manage to keep the two men, so it gradually forgot about it.

But decades later, the two escapees returned. Not only did they come back, but the two men also brought an army. An army of thousands of people.

The man-eating tree was a little scared. Because after these two people came back, their strength was much stronger than before, so strong that they wanted to dodge. It knew that the two people who had come back were coming for it.

And in this army of thousands of people, each one is stronger than the one he swallowed decades ago.

The man-eating tree was frightened, and its roots began to move. Want to protect the backbone.

But this made these people cry out with excitement. Thousands of people were attacking the entire forest like crazy.

Countless roots have been cut off, and trees have been destroyed.

Although many people died, none of the remaining people retreated. The trees outside the cannibal tree are actually the roots of the main trunk, and now these roots are broken, and the main trunk cannot regenerate these roots to protect itself.

But there are too many people, and they are also very strong.

The man-eating tree's defenses gradually became exhausted, and a large amount of life force was consumed.

It doesn't want to die, it doesn't want to be ruined here.

At this time, the man-eating tree went berserk, and it had been absorbing the nutrients of the earth, and the life force accumulated by the animals that devoured it was all released explosively. It desperately converted all the stored life force into evolutionary power, regenerating a large number of roots that had been destroyed, and because of the full release of life force and devouring so many people, it also made the cannibal tree stronger.

The entire cannibal forest expanded outwards than it had been when the men attacked.

The cannibal tree no longer has the ability to regenerate again, and it uses all its strength to transform into this forest, a last stand.

However, the sudden evolution of the cannibal tree caught the rest of the people off guard, especially the increase in the strength of the cannibal tree, and finally the cannibal tree survived.

And the two who walked away, one of them walked away again.

The death of thousands of people saved the man-eating tree for the time being, but it also knew that someone had escaped, and it was still not safe.

So the man-eating tree had to evolve desperately.

It gives up all the nutrient supply from the trunk and retains only a little life force, and distributes all the nutrients to the roots. In order to keep the main trunk alive, the cannibal tree desperately evolved its branches and roots, and eventually formed the huge life form that is known for its strength.

The range of the cannibal tree is constantly expanding, and the resulting forest is actually covering even those three basins.

The huge roots resemble giant centipedes, and this change is also due to the impact of the final battle between the ghost king vine and the centipede.

The man-eating tree doesn't want to be killed by such an opponent again, so it wants to surpass that enemy.

In the process, the man-eating tree devoured a large number of living beings, and by the time it reached its long-term level, the Death Zone had formed.

The one who escaped was never seen again. But there were a number of equally powerful people who came, and they all died eventually.

……

At this point, Hua Yun got the information, and he already had a rough idea of the growth process of the cannibal tree.

Such a huge death zone is actually just a man-eating tree to survive.

"It's just—" Hua Yun frowned, "At that time, it was already a death zone, and who could actually suppress it?" ”

Although Hua Yun thinks that his strength is not strong, he can come here because of good luck.

But with a power of hundreds of millions of catties, the people from the terrifying immortal city will also suffer heavy losses.

Ghost King Teng said: "The matter is far from over! ”

At this moment, the withered little tree in front of them gently lifted its branches, like an old and dying old man approaching Huayun.

Hua Yun looked at the fact that it was so laborious to even lift a branch in front of him, and that branch was half-withered, as if it was going to break at any time.

It was hard for him to imagine that the lives of all living beings in this death zone were controlled in front of this dying tree.

The ghost king vine once again poked out a branch of vine and collided with the dead branch.

Hua Yun realized that someone had been here long before him. It was an enemy that the cannibal tree couldn't contend with. The man walked in the cannibal woods, and no attack from the roots would do any harm to the man.

This man did not kill the small tree when he came to the man-eating tree, but turned the three basins into a suppression ground, so that the expansion of the man-eating tree stopped.

The man told the man-eating tree that he would not kill it, but that he would do something for him.

An agreement was reached between the two.

Then the man stayed, and with dozens of companions came to live in a small village in the basin.

Until one day the man came to the cannibal tree with his companion and told the little tree that they were going to open a door in a moment, and once the door was opened, they would go in.

And the little tree must block this door.

The man-eating tree agreed, and it didn't know until the door opened, that it was the door to Doom, and in the door, countless black mist poured out and spread through the cannibal woods, and then continued to spread outward.

Hua Yun thought of what he had heard from the old man on the Burmese border, that the forest had once been shrouded in black mist, and that several villages had disappeared overnight, and there was not a single person left.

It seems that the source turned out to be the door opened by these people.

But who opened the door, and why did he open such a door in the mountains? (To be continued.) )
