After splitting a thorn, a narrow path appears in front of the eyes of the five players. The mountain walls on both sides suddenly closed here, leaving only a gorge a few meters wide. And at this only intersection, there is a tree of mockery.

The trunk of this tree is very thick, just enough to seal the mouth of the gorge; There were only a few gaps left on the sides of the trunk, barely enough to fit into an arm. The height of the tree is also staggering, with its canopy clinging to the high mountain wall like a scattered anemone, and if the player tries to bypass it from above, they will inevitably enter the range of the poisonous mist.

"Hmm...... It seems that it will take a lot of time to cut down this tree......" said whimsically, looking at the big tree.

I said...... If we don't get the axe...... "Isn't it stuck here?" ”

"Not necessarily." Feng Bujue said, "There are at least two other ways to get through." ”

Uncle Waste Chai continued: "Yes, we can forcibly cross it from above, and then detoxify." He paused, his eyes under his sunglasses changing slightly, "Or...... Use a certain angle and force to destroy the mountains on both sides and create a pathway. ”

Feng Bujue took over the conversation and continued: "It's just that both methods have certain risks, and they must pay a certain amount of consumption. ”

"And now...... As long as I'm going to sell coolies alone, right? The trace said in a helpless tone.

"Huh...... Great work. Uncle Waste Wood smiled and comforted him.

"Alas...... Who made me an admirer of Ediante? As he spoke, he walked forward with his axe.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

"Uh......" A low moan led to a strange scene. I saw that the bark of the "mocking tree" began to wriggle, and a cross-shaped silhouette gradually protruded from the trunk. The players expected to see a "giant face" of the Tree of Taunts, but as the outline became clearer, they realized ...... This is clearly the shape of a whole "person".

About twenty seconds later. The change of the giant tree stopped, and a raised humanoid bump appeared on its bark, and the "human" was like a living creature wrapped in the bark, and its body was still moving slightly.

"Human...... "Human" the voice came from the humanoid head, "...... I actually managed to get here......" When he said this, his head turned slightly, because the appearance of this [tree man] only has a basic outline and no details, so its expression and eyes are unknown, and the player can only guess...... He's looking away.

"You ......," the man in the tree said to the trace, "do you want to cut down this tree with what you have in your hands?" ”

"Uh......" Trace hesitated for a few seconds. Wittily replied, "It depends......

"If you can get us through...... Feng Bujue took a few steps forward and rushed to the road, "we can naturally abandon violent ......"

"No, be sure to ......," interrupted the man in the tree, "cut down this tree." ”

"Oh?" Something flashed through Feng Buyi's mind, "You and this tree...... Isn't it one? ”

"A long time ago, no." "But now...... I just want to die. ”

"Hmm......" Feng touched his chin unconsciously. Thoughtfully.

"That's right......," said the trace, looking back, "we had the plan anyway, or else...... Fulfill him? ”

"Wait." Feng Bujue waved his hand and walked around to the front of the trace. Looking up at the man in the tree, "Can I ask you first, how did you end up like this?" ”

"Does it matter?" The man in the tree asked rhetorically.

"Just curious." Feng Bujue's demeanor was very leisurely, as if the three-hour task time limit did not exist at all. He didn't wait for a response. Immediately, he said, "Did some god do it?" Or some kind of perverted murderer? Or...... A bunch of Sadducees? ”

"What is he talking about?" Hearing this, he whispered to the Honghu and Uncle Waste Wood beside him.

Honghu replied: "He deliberately put forward a few unreliable assumptions. I want to lure the other party to tell the truth. ”

"Uh...... I want to ask...... What kind of man is he talking about? Brother Pony continued.

"Huh?" Honghu was stunned, "This ...... I don't know. ”

"The Sadducees were a sect of ancient Judaism." "The sect denies the resurrection of the dead, the existence of souls, and the concepts of 'afterlife' and 'angels'. In addition, they were involved in the trial and execution of Jesus. ”

"Is it a slot...... Honghu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Uncle Wastewood, "Say...... Brother Chai, you even know about this kind of religious stalk? ”

"Uh-" Uncle Waste Chai spat out his cigarette, "When I was in college, I was in order to pick up girls...... He was a member of a club specializing in ancient religions. He looked up at the sky and spat out a smoke ring, "Huh...... Funnily enough, this club is full of atheists. In our view, the Sadducees were the wisest group of people in the Old Testament, and in contrast to the Pharisees, they were keen on power, money, fame, and were indifferent to religion...... Uh-" he twitched again, "...... It's basically the same as the ancient atheists. ”

At this point, Uncle Waste Chai stopped his chic forty-five degree posture of looking at the sky, and turned his head to glance at the sky and the bird. He had expected that these two would cast an unaware look of adoration at him. But the reality is ...... They had already stood a few meters away, turning their attention to Feng Bujue's side.

"Hey! I'm not listening! Uncle Waste Wood vomited in his heart in frustration and threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

On the other side, Feng Bujue was still gushing and asking, "Hannibal? Charles. Manson? John. Hinkley? Chuck. Norris? Jason? ”

(The names listed above are: a fictional ogre, a notorious hippie killer, a "psycho" who assassinated Reagan, a pure man, and a fictional humanoid monster.) ）

"Enough!" The man in the tree, who had a calm attitude, finally couldn't help it, and he let out a loud shout, interrupting Brother Jue's nonsense offensive, "It's the 'torture master'...... He was the one who made me what I am now......" The voice of the man in the tree trembled slightly, "That's the answer, are you satisfied?" ”

"Ah~ Actually, I'm just asking." Feng Bujue shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"Who believes it!" Traces instinctively roared.

"Okay...... Brother Jue ignored the signs and continued to say to the man in the tree, "then...... Let's talk about the conditions. He crossed his hands in front of his chest and put on an arrogant face, "What kind of reward are you going to offer for hacking you to death?" ”

"Hey...... What kind of trouble......" The trace didn't dare to say anything this time, but just said in his heart, "Where in the world is there such a deal!" ”

"Don't worry......," replied the man in the tree, "cut along my waist, and when the tree is completely broken, you'll be 'paid'......"

The traces were shocked: "There really is!" (To be continued......) RT
