Chapter 10: Misfortune

Originally, Liang Feifei just thought that this kind of whispering sound was annoying like flies and mosquitoes, and it was not a big deal at all, but when this group of eccentric humans collectively took out a bag and opened it, he felt that the world had changed.

A strange smell, mixed with extreme commotion and fishy smell, went straight to the lungs, and an irrepressible feeling of vomiting made the spirit almost unable to maintain it.

It tasted like preserved and fermented old, mixed with a sufficient amount of cat feces and pig's blood that had been spoiled for months.

For the first time, he felt that the buff effect of all his senses had been enhanced in the spirit state, and at this time, he was digging his own grave.

He even felt like he was dying.

Compared to the weird and crazy murmurs, these things held by humans were in a sense more deadly.

And Luo Di and the others are actually not much better than Liang Feifei, because the masks on their faces also have the ability to enhance the sense of smell, and in this abandoned place full of unknown dangers, the sense of smell is often much more useful than sight.

And at this time, the dung bag really saved their lives.

At least keep them sane.

"Go back! The effect of the dung bag won't last long, you have to leave before your sense of smell gets used to it!"

Gusfu's hideous expression didn't know if he was trying to endure the stench, if he really found something, or both.

At this point, the thick rope that had been fastened to each person finally worked.

Etro, who had been at the end of the line, took the lead in pulling the rope and retreated, while Roddy was in the penultimate position, and Etro also retreated after Etro's pull, and the traction generated by this was about to drive the whole team.

But in the next split second, everything changed.

And these changes are much clearer in Liang's extraordinary vision.

He saw an ancient tree rooted in the shadows, surrounded by a monstrous pile of dry bones, including various living corpses that were not yet fully dead.

They roared and wailed and superimposed on each other with eerie babbling.

And what is even more conspicuous is that the wrinkled tree is crawling with human faces, each face has a different but similar expression, that is a kind of fear, which can make people feel the fear of extreme fear from the bottom of their hearts, which is the source of the strong malice that Liang Feifei felt.

The change that led to the failure of the entire waste picking team was that this strange ancient tree with a human face came out!

The twisted and coiled branches were stained with scarlet blood that formed a pool of blood around the roots, and with each tumble the ancient tree's body took a giant step forward.

"Soul Sucking Tree...", Gusfu looked at it in a daze, saw the faces on the tree, saw four faces engraved in his mind, and the dung bag in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously, and then quickly picked it up, and at the same time shouted in a sharp voice that was not like him at all:

"Saw the knife!Cut the rope!Run one!!"

Gusfu knew that he would not be able to live, but before that, he had to do what a captain should do, even if he might not even be able to win a few seconds.

The first to do it was Etro, who went from the end of the group to the first place because of the retreat, and he immediately took out the saw blade to cut the thick wire that was connected to Roddy, while the others were quick to do the same, but the inexperienced team members like Roddy immediately panicked.

Not to mention Etro, who has participated in scavenging three times, even Gusfu, who has been scavenging for more than 20 years, is the second time he has encountered the Soul Sucking Tree, and only he and the captain Pais survived at that time, and the captain has contracted a leg disease because of this, and can no longer scavenge for scavenging.

So with the exception of Gusfu and Etro, who cut the thick rope almost at the same time, the others couldn't even hold the knife, and some of them didn't even know where to throw the knife out of fear.

Roddy grabbed the rope with one hand and trembled with the other with the saw blade, his face full of tears.

Scared, scared.

But he just kept cutting.

Break! Break!!

All that was left in his eyes was a thick rope and a saw blade, and the whispering in his head grew stronger, and without the help of the dung bag and the slow adaptation of his sense of smell, he realized that he could not live.

In my mind, my father's stern appearance appeared, my mother's worried expression appeared, and Dai's expressionless but beautiful face appeared, saying that I would buy a new sacrificial dress for her, and that I would ask a good doctor to treat my mother's lung disease, and promised them that it would be fine.

No... Something's wrong.

But he found that he had given up, and at some point the saw had fallen to the ground.

Suddenly, his body fell backwards uncontrollably, and the ropes on his body had broken.

Roddy looked up blankly.

It was Etro, who had cut the rope for him with fear and whispering when he noticed Roddy's mental state, and ran away with him like crazy.

Roddy cried even harder, he saw Etro's lip biting his skin, he saw the helper who had terrified him flickering by, and he saw the resolute back facing the Soul-sucking Tree.

And what he saw more was his companion who slowly melted like a candle, and if he could live, it would be a lifelong fear engraved in his heart, as well as a visceral awe of the abandoned place.

Liang Feifei didn't expect everything to happen so quickly, whether it was out of the goodness of his heart or for other purposes, he didn't want these people to die here.

But for such a strange behemoth, I instinctively feel bad, as a modern good young man who has just accepted the crossing and encountered this unimaginable monster, how can the shock in my heart be expressed in words.

But the body had already acted before his thoughts.

Galloping out, he picked up the saw blade that Roddy had dropped, and at the same time recalled the image of the spear owner soaring like a dragon, and suddenly the whole vision widened, as if the soul sucking tree was embodied in his mind in 3D.

Beneath this strange vision, a very thin silk thread was connected from the tip of the saw blade to a certain human face on the soul-sucking tree, which was hidden among countless human faces, and it was impossible to easily find it, but at this time it was as conspicuous as an elephant in a flock of chickens.

The face was cold and ruthless, and then its eyes widened in fear, and its mouth opened silently.

The eeriely wriggling soul-sucking tree shook suddenly, and the annoying whispering came to an abrupt end.

Roddy found that he was able to control his body again, and the roaring whisper disappeared, only to realize that the corners of his eyes hurt, and his whole face was extremely sour.

Etro also noticed this change, he looked back and saw the branches of the Soul-sucking Tree slowly falling, and found that the scarlet pool of blood was churning bubbles, and the strange and terrifying faces were disappearing one by one, and his steps slowly stopped.

"Live... Down. ”

He opened his mouth in disbelief and spat out these four words as if crying and laughing.

Then he took another step and dragged Roddy without looking back.
