Under the persuasion and comfort of everyone, Wang Dalong finally recovered from self-blame and guilt.

He also figured it out, indeed, the responsibility for the death of these people cannot be pushed on him, and he can't afford to bear that much responsibility.

It's not his fault, it's the world, it's this disaster, it's providence, it's fate.

They were destined to die.

At this time, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon.

Normally, the sky is still bright at this time of summer, but now the sky is full of dust, obscuring the sun, and it is even more cloudy than it, but it is getting dark.

Wang Dalong consulted with several armed policemen and decided to return to the camp before dark.

Because they guessed that after dark, if they continued to stay in the mountains, strange things might happen, and they would run into dirty things like yesterday.

Moreover, the armed police officer Xiao Chen brought orders from their superiors, so they did not have to continue the rescue mission at night, and they also withdrew with peace of mind.

Immediately, after a little search around, no survivors were found, so everyone packed up their tools and began to walk back.

Just after walking a short distance, after rounding a hill, suddenly, an armed policeman stood on a rock, pointed to the distance and shouted: "Look, what is that?" ”

Boom –

This shout instantly shook everyone's minds and froze in place.

In this gradually darkening mountain, everyone was already a little palpitating in their hearts, and their nerves were tense, but after suddenly hearing the shocked voice of the armed policeman, their hearts immediately chuckled, their faces turned pale, their backs were cold, and cold sweat flowed down.

They wondered, was that the thing there?

Click,

More than a dozen armed policemen acted in unison, immediately picked up the submachine gun on their waists, opened the safe, and then picked it up, aiming at the place where the shouting armed policeman was pointing, and its speed was so fast that it even broke the highest record of their usual training.

At the same time, Li Dao was also shocked, trembling and unscrewing the kettle, preparing to drink a sip of divine water first, let himself become evil and evil, and then save a mouthful in his mouth.

However, after seeing what the armed policeman was pointing at, everyone was stunned again, and the movements in their hands stopped.

It's not the fierce ghost they imagined, but a majestic tree,

The tree was huge, with an astonishingly thick taproot, and a height that reached into the sky, at least nearly a hundred meters to the eye, growing in a low-lying area that was almost level with a hill next to it.

In this dim sky, it stood quietly, like a towering giant, lying there, extremely shocking.

Seeing that it was just a tree, Wang Dalong breathed a sigh of relief, put down the submachine gun, patted the head of the armed policeman who screamed just now, and reprimanded: "What is your kid's name, it scared us a lot, just now I almost burst through with a shuttle bullet." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at the towering tree in the distance and sighed, "But I didn't expect it to still exist and not break in the catastrophe." ”

This big tree, everyone present knows, is a major feature of Wuyun Mountain Scenic Area, named Wuyun Sacred Tree, has a history of nearly 5,000 years, a very old tree.

Of course, the Wuyun Divine Tree is just a nickname given to it, not the name of its variety. In fact, it is a spruce tree, and it is also the more famous purple fruit spruce among spruce.

Spruce, almost the oldest tree species in the world, has an extremely long lifespan, there are many spruce trees around the world that are hundreds of thousands of years old, and there are even news reports that there is a spruce that has lived for tens of thousands of years on a Swiss plateau, and it is vibrant, still growing, and there is no sign of aging, which is very amazing.

This purple fruit spruce on Wuyun Mountain, although it has only grown for four or five thousand years, is also very ancient, and since the pre-Qin era, it has been revered as a sacred tree by the residents near Wuyun Mountain, worshipping every year, gathering countless beliefs.

Li Dao has been wandering around Wuyun Mountain for a long time and has heard many legends about it.

It is said that this sacred tree has a spirit and can protect the people, so that the residents in the Wuyun Mountain area can live and work in peace and contentment, and the wind and rain will be smooth. There is also great divine might, no ghosts, demons and monsters dare to come to Wuyun Mountain to make trouble.

Moreover, it can produce fruit purple cloud spirit fruit, a bite can cure all kinds of diseases, prolong life, eat one, it can be feathered and ascended to immortality, immortality.

For these, Li Dao naturally just listened to it as a story, he didn't believe that this tree was really so godly, he had seen this tree countless times for more than ten years, except for being tall and outrageous, he didn't see anything strange about it.

If it really has a spirit and can expel demons and monsters, then how could Captain Wang and the others hit the ghosts yesterday? How could Jiang Han fall for evil?

As for the fruit it bears, it can make people feather and ascend to immortals, and live forever, that is even more nonsense.

It does bear fruit, but it bears only ordinary spruce fruit, which may be the reason why it is very large, and the fruit tastes better than ordinary spruce fruit, and the medicinal properties are stronger, but other than that, there is nothing special about it.

"Hehe, maybe it's really a sacred tree, and it can't even be smashed by a meteorite!" Li Dao smiled and joked,

He was also a little surprised that this ancient tree could survive, you know, the shock wave set off by the meteorite was very huge, and some mountains were blown down, but the main trunk of this tree was intact, but the branches were damaged, which was incredible.

However, Li Dao can only be attributed to the fact that its backbone is very tough and strong, and with a little luck, it survived in the end.

Hearing this, the others just smiled, naturally not believing that this was really a divine tree.

After this episode, the group continued on their way, and after about half an hour, before it was completely dark, they finally rushed back to the camp without any danger along the way.

Everything was normal in the camp, with Dr. Wu, an expert in the medical field, and all the survivors' injuries were stabilized and not life-threatening.

Jiang Han and Wang Xiaoling have also recovered from their sadness, but they are still in a low mood, sitting there in a daze, and the return of the rescue team only makes them look up expressionlessly, and it is estimated that Wang Dalong is still dissatisfied with Wang Dalong's refusal to allow Wang Xiaoling to get on the plane.

and Tian Li, who lost his father in the morning, is still guarding his father's body at the moment, sobbing softly, this filial piety is also sad.

Ignoring the others, after dinner, Li Dao informed Wang Dalong that he wanted to find a comfortable place to sleep, and he didn't have to look for himself at night, and then, he turned around and left the camp in the dimness.

He was going to enter the Heavenly Realm again, and the twelve hours of crossing cooldown time was almost up.

But this time, Li Dao didn't go to the small cave yesterday again, because the cave was on the mountain, and the sky was almost completely dark at the moment, but Li Dao didn't dare to go alone.

He followed the highway a mile or two east to a deserted outskirts.

At the time of the disaster, there were no people here, so there were no bodies.

Li Dao thought about it, no one died here, and there shouldn't be any ghosts and ghosts. And it's safe, Wang Dalong and they won't come here.
