Chapter 32: The Immortal
It was a road that could not be reached at the end of the road, whether they went forward or backward, they could never reach the end of the road, they could not reach the top of the mountain, they could not go down, they could not go to the farm below.
Captain Zhou brushed aside a patch of weeds and walked out of the jungle, and then found himself still halfway up the mountain, with the farmland under the mountain intertwined, the old houses lit with a faint fire, the tall mill standing on the riverside, and the distant villages and towns hidden in the darkness, unable to see the whole picture.
After walking for seven or eight hours, the sky should have been bright at this time, but at this moment the world was still in darkness.
Everyone stayed up all night, without any food or water, and kept running for seven or eight hours, at this moment, their mental state and body were close to the limit, and the strange situation they faced magnified the fear and panic in their hearts to the limit.
"Dead, dead, we're dead!" Xiao Huang's lips were so dry that they turned white and cracked, and he smashed his hat to the ground and refused to move again.
"We can't get out! We must have hit the wall!" Akai kept licking his lips, his body dehydrated to the limit.
"It's not a way to go on like this, Captain!" the big head looked down the mountain and then to the sky.
However, as soon as the big head raised his head at this moment, he saw black rain in the sky, no, not rain, but black ashes.
"It's raining?" said the big head, feeling something fall on his face.
"How can there be black rain?"
"It's not rain, it's ash?" Captain Zhou wiped the falling ash from his face, the black ash staining his face and hands black.
A steady stream of ash fell from the sky and landed on their faces, and they raised their heads and looked at the sky, and immediately saw that a dark red moon had climbed up the clouds in the sky where the moon had not been seen before.
The moon is semi-round, like a knife, like blood.
The ashes were like rain, the waning moon was bright red, the clouds in the sky were torn and blackened, becoming a strange form, and the sky of the whole world was reflected in a red and black, revealing a taste of fear and horror in the beauty.
"This ...... This is not normal!" The big head's pretense was stable, and he couldn't stabilize it anymore, and his face showed horror.
"How can there be such a moon!"
"We're ...... Where the hell are you trapped?"
"Captain, Captain, what should we do?" everyone kept looking at Captain Zhou, as if they were looking at their backbone.
"Boom!"
At this time, a crisp voice came from afar, and the crisp bell buzzed, dragging out a long tail note, scaring the already flustered few people like frightened rabbits.
"Where did the bell come from, is it from the temple, or is it from the bottom of the mountain!" Captain Zhou looked around, but he immediately fixed his gaze on the bottom of the mountain.
It wasn't that he had found the source of the bell, but that there was a fire at the bottom of the mountain, a large line of fire, as if there were groups of people carrying torches or lanterns up the mountain.
"Somebody! somebody up the hill! We can follow them, and we can go out with them. Xiao Huang stood up at once and shouted down the mountain.
"We're here! we're here!" Yellow's cry was carried through the air.
"Finally someone has gone up the mountain, Captain, we can finally get out of this hellish place!" Several other people also stood up, even the police officers who had been in the police for many years were numb from being frightened by such a strange place at this moment.
"Something is wrong, don't move yet! Observe!" Captain Zhou felt that something was not right.
Because there were only a dozen fires under the mountain, but as they continued to walk towards the mountain, the line of torches became more and more, and the line of firelight became longer and longer.
Dozen, more than twenty.
After turning a mountain road, it immediately turned into a long line of more than forty people, coming up along the mountain road.
"It's coming! It's coming! It's finally here!" Xiao Huang was excited, pointing to the approaching team!
"This must be search and rescue personnel!" Akai nodded.
"Why don't you use a flashlight, you have to use a torch?"
"Everybody be careful, get your guns out and be vigilant. ”
Captain Zhou kept shaking his head, still ordering everyone to stay on guard.
At this time, on the downhill road, the distant light of the fire finally appeared in front of their eyes, but the joy on everyone's faces froze for a moment, because the person who came up was wearing a strange black robe.
He was not holding a torch in his hand, but a silver candlestick, a strange white candle burning with a turquoise flame, and as they went, they did not walk at all, but swirled and jumped.
They sang strange songs, a language they didn't understand at all, and danced in exaggerated movements, like marionettes, pulled by silk threads and constantly oscillating exaggeratedly.
They held the menorah aloft and danced and sang as if they were having a grand ball.
They lined up in a neat line, playing a neat beat, all the way up, everyone swayed left and right, swaying forward, the red moon reflected the mountains like blood flowing, and the black ashes that kept falling made the world hazy.
"Trance! Bloody fight! Hey, hey, hey!" The black-robed man in the lead sang and danced, and finally broke out into maniacal laughter.
"Mom killed me, Dad ate me. A black-robed shadow that looked short and looked like a child followed behind him, making an even more terrifying sound.
"My brothers and sisters sat under the table, picked up my bones, and buried them in the cold stone tomb. Another little man about as tall as him jumped out with a candlestick and sang the second half of the stanza sharply.
"La-la!"
"Woooooooo
The strange black shadow behind followed and shouted out the accompaniment in a neat voice.
"La-la!"
"Woooooooooooo
A few people who were still happy just now, seeing this strange situation, suddenly their whole bodies were cold, and the expressions on their faces were a little sluggish, turning into miserable white.
At this time, the black-robed man who was holding the candlestick high turned his head to look at them, raised his head, and under the black robe, their true colors were revealed.
It was a face made of straw, and their hands were also made of grass, and the candlestick was stuck in it, and they could not turn easily, but could only move with a swing.
Their faces were pasted with a piece of paper, like a child's graffiti, drawing crooked facial features, which were even more terrifying and terrifying in the dark night, and their eyes were black stones, not carefully inlaid into them, but more like violent slaps and stuffed in.
This is a team of scarecrows, scarecrows who can move, scarecrows who can sing.
Captain Zhou was covered in cold sweat, their feet and stomachs were constantly swinging, horror and fear penetrated deep into their hearts, devouring all their reason, and the crazy singing penetrated into their ears, as if it was eating their souls.
They tried to pull out their guns and stop them, but they couldn't move a single finger, they tried to escape, but they found that they couldn't move their footsteps, and they wanted to scream loudly, but they found that their throats couldn't get a single byte.
The black-robed scarecrow circled around them, and then walked towards the mountain, where from the sky they looked like they were holding candlesticks, as if they had tied a knot, and in the middle of the knot were Captain Zhou and them.
They were trapped motionless in the center, and then, their eyes slowly glazed over, and their bodies were like plants taking root and sprouting, and straw grew up, and the yellow straw devoured their flesh and blood, and devoured their eyes and brains.
They raised their hands in the air, and an illusory candlestick appeared in their hands.
When the line came to the end, they immediately filled in.
At this moment they also became exactly the same monsters, with a piece of graffiti paper pasted on the face of the straw, stuffed with two irregular stones, they held the torch alof, made exactly the same movements, swayed from side to side, and moved forward in a trance.
"La-la!"
"Woooooooooooo
The team continued to move forward, and the higher they went, the more they could see that those who had disappeared in the mountains had joined them, and the number of them had increased, from dozens to hundreds.
They kept approaching the top of the mountain, close to the top of the mountain, hundreds of meters high, and the Necromantic Tree was still expanding wildly, compared to the outside world, its body here had expanded tenfold, and it looked like an optimus pillar.
The Necromantic Tree waved its long vines and danced wildly in the sky, like the shadow of a devil dancing in the sky.
And at this time, the blood-red sky was torn apart, and the white light shone on the whole world, as if a thunderbolt penetrated through it and cleansed the whole world.
A figure like the sun appeared in the sky, illuminating the entire illusory world.
He tore open the skies of this world, and as soon as he entered, he aimed at the huge demon tree on the top of the mountain, and a fierce light sparked between his fingers.
"Divine Storm!"
A violent storm of light swept up from the top of the mountain, spreading in an instant, wiping out everything on top of the mountain.
The dust was raised, the ashes were overflowing, and the whole mountain top could see the rubble falling continuously, the smoke and dust raised hundreds of meters, and the exploding sparks continued to fall towards the mountain like meteors.
"Roar!"
A great roar of pain came from the top of the mountain, and with this roar, the whole world shook continuously, the red moon in the sky dimmed, and the black ashes stopped falling.
But in the midst of the roar, the Demon Tree, which was supposed to be erased, grew out again, and a huge force burst out, and the vines rose out thousands of meters in an instant, entangled towards Fang Xiu.
And above the vines, Fang Xiu even saw that each vine had a strange face, like a terrifying nightmare, constantly roaring and cursing him.
Fang Xiu found that after he entered this illusory world, his strength had swelled to the extreme, but with it, the power of that demon tree had also swelled to the extreme.
Countless vines continued to whip the sky, and the entire sky could be seen, its Nightmare Whip roared and exuded a strange power, chasing and biting towards Fang Xiu.
"Implosion Technique!" Fang Xiu used the spell brought by the Sage's posture to continuously bombard the Demon Tree, and a red ball of light fell to the ground, merging into the body of the Necromantic Tree, and exploded in an instant.
"Not dead yet?What the hell is going on?Is this an immortal body?" Fang Xiu raised his head and looked out of the world, and immediately found that the Necromantic Tree in the outside world had been resurrected.
"Both of them are its body, and you have to kill them at the same time to be able to kill it?"
"What the hell is this?"
Fang Xiu immediately felt how difficult it was to deal with something that had a little bit of a side with the term god.
"Boom!"
At this time, in the real world above, there was a sudden violent explosion, and along with this illusory world, the mountains also shook.
When Fang Xiu raised his head, he saw that the Necromantic Tree in the real world was directly torn apart and blown up, the strong flames completely ignited the mountain, and the torso of the Necromantic Tree burned into a wreckage in the cannonfire.
