Chapter 167 Confusing the Soul Chasing Abyss Road, the Thousand-Handed Guanyin Demon Tree
"Don't run yet!" Sister Qingyi's words woke us up. The five of us ran to the top of the abyss like crazy, only to see countless rattans twisted and wound behind us chasing after us, and everywhere we went, the winding road was smashed to pieces.
We ran to the place where we had just come down in one breath, but those rattans could not continue to go up, but stood straight in the abyss, like straight bamboos, standing upright, staring at us, extremely terrifying.
"It's good that we run fast, otherwise with so many rattans, I'm afraid that a few of us will be divided!"
Qing Yi gasped and leaned against the ground and said.
"It's horrible, what the hell is this, so many rattans?"
The fairy also asked with a look of horror.
"I'm afraid this is the legendary Demon Tree that grows in the Western Regions!"
I said in fear.
Everyone looked at me with horror on their faces.
Legend has it that the Demon Tree is originally the hair of the Demon King, and the hair takes root and grows long branches, which can devour some giant meat animals, and if you encounter the Demon Tree, it means that there is no hope of survival.
But these are all legends, no one has ever seen a real demon tree, I didn't expect such a huge demon tree to grow in such an abyss, let alone a hundred years old!
It is rumored that the main body of the Demon Tree resembles a human face, and as long as the rattan grabs the food, it will be pulled down, and then open its dense teeth to chew the food, so it is also called the "cannibal tree"
As for what that body looks like, no one has ever seen it.
This can also be said to be the meat eater of the plant kingdom, and the ferocity is no less than those fierce beasts.
The biggest feature of the Demon Tree is that it can emit a scent that confuses nearby animals, and then unknowingly comes to its side and is at its mercy.
We were all almost confused when we came in just now, and I thought of it, and now that I saw so many rattans, I was sure that there must be a demon tree underneath.
When I said this, everyone gasped.
A look of despair was evident on everyone's faces.
"Brother Tiancheng, what should we do, now we can't go back, and we can't move forward!"
"Yes! If we want to continue our search, we must go down to the stone gate in the wall of the abyss and open it to have a chance of survival, or we will starve to death here. ”
I said helplessly.
Everyone is no longer silent at this moment!
It seems that when people are faced with life and death, they can always try their best to find a way out of survival, which is the law of nature and the most basic appeal of life.
"I think we still have to find a way to get rid of the Demon Tree in order to have a glimmer of life!"
The fairy said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
However, the Demon Tree in the Abyss is the most troublesome thing we have now, as long as we dare to go down, the Demon Tree will naturally not give up.
Perhaps, we can use fire to scare the demon tree and buy time for everyone to pass through the stone gate, and the idea suddenly flashed through my mind.
"We can use fire!"
I said it to Qingyi.
We looked at each other and smiled, and sometimes I found that the tacit understanding between the two of us really came from the bottom of my heart.
"But there's no dry wood here, and we don't have that big fire!"
Fairies are embarrassed.
I smiled weirdly and pulled five black objects out of my arms.
These five black things are the stray fire bombs that Uncle Balhu gave us when we were in the Northeast Grassland.
"What's the use of something so small?"
Sister Qingyi said helplessly.
"Don't underestimate it, just such a small tree is enough to make a raging fire, and it won't be extinguished when it encounters water!"
I laughed.
Now that we have something, we now lack a viable plan.
"Brother Tiancheng, do you think this will work? We'll go down the wreckage to draw out the Demon Tree, and then smash it down with a fireball, shaking it twice, and then we'll see if we can open it near the stone door!" ”
Sister Qingyi thought for a while and said.
Sister Qingyi's thoughts coincide with me, and there is no better way at this moment.
The following is the danger, but as the saying goes, "if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger"
Even if there is a demon tree with a thousand hands down there, we must break through.
The others and I all looked at each other, and it was obvious that they were also mindful at the moment, and agreed to Qingyi's mention.
So, we once again mustered up the courage to crouch down and walk towards the lower end of the road.
At this time, the path was already fragmented and intermittent, and it was not as easy to walk as it was when it was attacked by the powerful vines of the Demon Tree just now.
We crawled forward, jumped over the fracture, clinged to the stone wall of the abyss, and it took us a long time to come to the point not far in front of the stone gate.
At this time, the scene in front of us made us close our mouths in surprise.
Just now, at the place where the mountain tree accidentally fell, but at this time, there is no road at all, what is going on?
I looked back at Yamaki, who looked surprised.
"I saw the road just now, but when I stepped on it, it was empty, and I just fell down......"
Yamaki said in horror.
"Indeed, I also saw Pandao just now, and I wanted to go over to see the stone gate, but I didn't expect to be preempted by Yamamu, and something like that happened!"
The fairy was also surprised.
It seems that what everyone saw just now is indeed the same, and now the pandao has disappeared abruptly, what the hell is going on?
Each of us looked at each other and didn't know what was going on!
"Could it be that it was destroyed by the Demon Tree just now?"
The beggar wondered.
"It's not like, if you look at the roads we came down, they will leave some scars if they are destroyed, and there is nothing here to the stone gate, there should be no in the first place!"
I said calmly.
"Huh? Not in the first place? ”
Everyone was shocked at the moment.
Yes, I don't want to believe that, but as things stand, this is the only explanation that can explain why Yamaki suddenly fell down while walking on the road, and can explain the abrupt end of the road.
Perhaps, this is an illusory desperate way deliberately designed by using some kind of illusion, and just such a trap can cost many people's lives.
It seems that there must be many things hidden behind the stone gate that do not want to be known to the world.
"Don't think about this yet, let's lead out the Demon Tree first, and then eradicate the troubles, the distance from here to Shimen is not too far, I believe this distance is not enough for a few of us!"
At this point, I said to everyone.
Everyone nodded affirmatively.
"Well, you drop me with a rope and let me be used as bait to lure the demon tree out, and then use the fireball to burn that guy to death!"
I continued.
"No, it's too dangerous, I'll go!"
Qingyi and the fairy shouted at the same time.
These two people always lean out at this critical moment, which makes my heart warm in this cold mountain.
"You don't have to fight, I have to go down at this time!"
I said firmly.
"But why?"
They asked at the same time.
"First, I am the only one here who can use the Flowing Fireball, and secondly, the Demon Tree can confuse people, and only by holding my breath can I not be confused, and among us only I can breathe**, so I can't go to the most suitable place!"
I explained to them.
"This ......"
The two men looked very embarrassed.
At this moment, I have no choice, I can't let these two confidants stand up for me every time, it's my own business, let them accompany me to this terrible world, maybe they will die at any time, I am already ashamed.
I tied the rope around my waist, tied one end to the stone railing, and told the fairy to pay attention.
I took a deep breath, let out a turtle breath**, and then jumped high and jumped down.
The rope was straightened round and round, and in an instant I was dangling in the abyss.
But after a moment's wait, it was still quiet below.
The more I waited, the more furious my heart became, could it be that the demon tree fell asleep underneath?
"Hell, hurry up and get me out!"
I shouted to the bottom of the abyss.
Don't you know, this shout actually had an echo, this voice came and went in the abyss, and in the end, the voice actually changed its taste, and it sounded creepy.
After staying for a while, there was still no movement, and I smiled helplessly at them above, but the faces of Qingyi and the fairy were already frightened at this time.
A whistling wind came from below the abyss, straight for me.
