Raindrops fell on the tan skin, smashing into pits one after another.

Enduring the pain of being hit by the rain, he shrunk as much as he could, hoping to reduce his pain in this way.

The sides of the road began to collapse, and countless pieces of debris fell to the community on the next level, and he lowered his head at a height of dozens of meters, wanting to see the light source on the street of another community, but unfortunately in the end, all he saw was the endless dark abyss.

The faint whisper of Siso still tried to lead him to the edge of the cliff.

"Emissary, how far do we have to go?"

Looking at the cracks that had spread to his feet, panic prompted him to ask the three messengers in front of him.

He was afraid that he would not survive the moment of prayer.

"It has come, and your sins can only be forgiven by repentance. ”

The messenger with the lantern in his hand turned sideways, the lamp in his hand held high, and the light that seemed to him to be incomparably warm illuminated the path ahead.

There was an abyss on both sides, but in the center there was a stone path that he could pass through alone, and when his gaze followed the stone path into the distance, tears slipped uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

At the end of the stone path is a huge platform.

An ancient tree stood there, and in this world of darkness and despair, the color that represented life made him take a step almost instantly, and rushed to that place desperately.

Depressed, depressed, depressed...... All the negative emotions dissipated the moment he came to the platform where the ancient tree was located.

Looking up at the lush canopy, the wind and rain around him fell on it, and he could only change the crystal dew drops to fall, and he reached out and took one and put it to his mouth, sweet!

This is my place of salvation!

He thought so.

So he fell to his knees, kissed the floor of the platform over and over again, and uttered words of repentance, as if to reveal all the mistakes he had made in the past.

It wasn't until the wooden vine fell in front of him that he suddenly realized what he really had to do.

Got up and grabbed it, wrapped around his neck, it was not as cold and hard as he imagined, the soft touch made him breathe a sigh of relief, and it was probably his best choice to be able to rest in this way.

Turning back at the way he came, the three messengers were looking at him, and somehow he felt that they must have all looked approvingly on their faces.

Release your hand.

His feet were still on the ground, but his consciousness was in perpetual darkness.

......

"I didn't expect there to be a bone tree here. ”

The three of them came to the center of the crossroads, and the first thing Zhu Jue noticed at first glance was the craggy bone tree full of tentacles that made people feel uncomfortable!

Only this time it didn't have a contaminated area or an infected's guard.

Entrenched in the middle of the street, the bare and grayish roots of the tree are jagged across the street, and the dry branches stretch unscrupulously across the street, making it look like a beast dormant in the dark, stretching its claws, waiting for its prey to come to the door.

No, it's waiting for the minions to offer their prey to it!

"He killed himself?"

Gu Yinxing saw that the man crossed the three black-robed people and walked forward, took the initiative to grab a tentacle and hang himself, and muttered blankly.

Xu saw that the prey was dead, so the black-robed man who had sent him here turned to another street, and soon disappeared into the heavy rain.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Jue began to approach the bone tree: "To be precise, I have seen similar scenes in the No. 37 community, and they think that this is not death, but redemption or something...... I'll have to lean over and take a look. ”

said that it was close, Zhu Jue didn't really go to the bottom of the bone tree, it was the existence cultivated by the Gadamon sub-body, and he might not be monitored by Mi Ge, hiding all the way, he didn't want to expose himself because of a rash action.

Why did the Ouroboros create a bone tree in Gadamon's vision?

Standing more than ten meters away from the bone tree, he could barely see its full picture, and after looking at it for a while, Zhu Jue found that it was no different from the bone tree he saw in the No. 37 and No. 40 communities except for the volume of the bone tree.

This made Zhu Jue fall into thought.

He was under the impression that the Ouroboros had used the Gadamon body to create contaminated areas of bone trees in the low-level communities, one of the purposes of which was to provide fruits that could transform the infected by infecting people.

Of course, this behavior also caused a large area of panic and caused a lot of trouble to the government of Thousand Sails City.

But this is Gadamon's illusion, a completely spiritual world, and even if the fruit is produced in this way, they can't take it out, and it won't have any impact on the real world.

But they continue to do it, which means that there must be some kind of secret hidden in it.

"Can you see anything?"

Gu Yinxing looked at Zhu Jue's face, hoping that he would find something.

The proximity to the bone tree caused the discomfort in her mind to gradually develop into vomiting, and the whispers in her ears made her even more terrifying.

"How are you feeling now, can you hold it up?"

Finding that Gu Yinxing's expression was a little wrong, Zhu Jue did not answer her question, but asked rhetorically.

"Although I would love to hold on a little longer, I'm afraid reality doesn't allow ......"

"Understood, then you won't be waiting for me here, it won't take long. ”

Zhu Jue was ready to take two steps forward, and he chose the former between leaving with nothing and taking some risks.

Stabilize his mental state as much as possible, take a few more steps forward, and continue to observe the corpse while keeping a certain distance from the bone tree, Zhu Jue is the only one he can observe now.

Not to mention, because of the shortening of the distance, Zhu Jue found that the corpse had actually changed a little compared to before, and it was becoming transparent!

This state is somewhat like the "blur" in some video production software, the human form does not change, but the parts of the corpse appear translucent, as if the tentacles entangled around its neck are absorbing the energy that sustains its existence......

Wait, energy?

The divergence of thinking made Zhu Jue suddenly think of a key clue that he had ignored.

The corpse in front of you is not a real corpse, it is just the dead soul of someone!

The Bone Tree in Community 37 produces fruit by absorbing the Inved, so what will this Bone Tree produce after absorbing souls?

Zhu Jue looked back at Gu Ginkgo, who gave a thumbs up in the rain, signaling that he could still withstand it.

Looking back, my gaze began to wander among the branches.

However, until the corpse completely disappeared, Zhu Jue did not find anything on the bone tree, and the branches were still bare, with nothing but tentacles.

Where do the absorbed souls go?

Just when Zhu Jue was puzzled, his gaze unconsciously moved downward, falling on those "passers-by" who were still unconscious.

The gaze suddenly froze!

Immediately, his eyes widened, and he carefully observed the posture of the "passerby".

The Adam's apple floated up and down, and in the end it could only spit out one syllable: "Gan!"
