"In the next life, all this is a trick, as long as you have a firm belief and do not waver, it will be fine."

Wu Laogou's voice sounded from behind me, and my whole face was almost twisted by the huge force around my neck, and I could not understand what he was shouting.

"Fart..., what a trick, I'm about to be ... Strangled. ”

I gritted my teeth, almost gasping for air, and uttered word by word.

Behind him, the gunshots rang out one after another, and it even felt like the bullets were shooting down the top of his head.

The flames were splashing everywhere, and the huge gunfire accompanied by the pungent gunpowder smoke gradually came into mind, and even the body couldn't help but tremble.

"You endure the point, you must have no distractions, the word ashamed tree, the left side is the heart, and the right side is the ghost, and there must be a hundred-year-old tree buried deep underground."

"As long as you don't think about what you're most afraid of, you'll be fine."

Wu Laogou's voice was very firm, which calmed my trembling heart a little bit.

I thought to myself, since he insisted on saying this, there must be a reason for it, so I closed my eyes and forced myself to be free of distractions.

The terrifying and strange wails behind him echoed throughout the claustrophobic space.

Strangely, the black rattan attached to my neck seemed to lose its strength, melting like ice and snow, and retreating behind me little by little.

I opened my eyes in some surprise, and then I realized that my body was gradually regaining consciousness.

turned to look at Wu Laogou next to him, but saw that he was staring at him, facing a huge tree in front of him.

The torch he was holding in his hand seemed to make the ghost in front of him very jealous.

And I also took advantage of the dim firelight to see this terrifying dryad with a hundred years of cultivation little by little.

A huge tree more than two people tall broke through the ground along the bluestone bricks, although it was not a towering ancient tree.

But looking at the black veins on the bark, one by one emerges like a dragon, full of vigor and power.

The black rattan coiled out and crawled all over the inside of the secret room.

Even two adult men with their arms stretched out may not be able to wrap around the tree.

I watched as the rattan tentacles sticking out of the tree waved in the air, as if staring at myself and the old dog Wu beside me.

Every time I moved, the strange rattan tentacles in front of me swayed, as if they would attack as quickly as a venomous snake with a bow at any moment.

"TM, this tree... Sperm. ”

I couldn't help but exclaim, but the hoarse voice of Old Dog Wu sounded in my ears.

"In the next life, you must have no distractions, the most terrifying part of the demon is not its tentacles, but from the most vulnerable place in your heart."

"If you don't pay attention a little, you will fall into his way, and even if Da Luo Jinxian comes, he won't be able to save the lives of the two of us."

The more I listened to him, the more he bluffed, and I couldn't help but feel a tremor in my heart.

Then he answered and pulled out the belt around his waist.

Aside from the sharp dagger, this belt is now the only thing I can use as a weapon.

The two ends of the belt have sharp hammers, and if the wheel is round and smashed down according to the vital point, it is enough to be instantly fatal.

I stared at the huge tree in front of me, and the rest of my eyes looked at the old dog Wu who was holding the torch in the dark.

I saw his rickety back, looming in the darkness.

The right hand holding the box cannon was also trembling, and even his face and forehead were covered with sweat, as if he was under the double pressure of physical and mental pressure.

I never understood why he kept insisting that I should never think about what I was most afraid of.

This has nothing to do with the weird dryad in front of you.

Just looking at his serious expression and even a little hideous, I didn't dare to disobey his words easily.

"I..., what are you afraid of?"

"Speaking of which, there is really nothing that can make me feel fear since I was a child, and it is normal for people to be afraid of ghosts."

"Afraid of my father's reproach? However, I was an orphan since I was a child, and I grew up in a deep courtyard, and although I tried to find news of my parents later, I was never heard from, and finally I gradually gave up. ”

"So... What exactly am I afraid of? ”

I couldn't help but ponder this question in my head, and on the surface it seemed that I was afraid of anything, but I was not afraid of anything.

I just remember one year when I was picking fruit on a tree, I was bitten by a flower python wrapped around its branches.

Even though it wasn't poisonous, I still can't forget it, and I often dodge those flowery, snake-python-like things.

"Snakes..., I'm afraid of snakes."

I woke up suddenly, and then I realized that I had unknowingly disobeyed Wu Laogou's words.

The light in the secret room in front of him was extremely poor, and it seemed that the only light source was the torch in Wu Laogou's hand.

"Snake..., could it be that there will be snakes in this secret room."

I was startled by my own thoughts, subconsciously swallowed my saliva, tightened my neck, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Suddenly.

Wu Laogou's torch jumped a few times, and then gradually extinguished.

I know that the fact that this torch can last so long despite the lack of fuel is a great comfort to us.

Now, we are completely blind, confronted in the darkness by the great tree of shame in front of us.

Only faintly, you can see its shiny leaves and dense tentacle-like outlines.

But in the next second, what I never thought of was that a strange sound sounded in the entire secret room.

"Shhhh Rustle... Sand. ”

It's like some kind of reptile walking close to the ground, its sinuous body slender and even.

This strange sound echoed throughout the chamber, and my heart chuckled instantly.

“… How... How so. ”

I was completely panicked, and I recalled Wu Laogou's advice from the bottom of my heart, and I really wanted to slap myself hard.

But at this moment, the thoughts in my mind have swept like a tide, and I can't stop it at all.

Until Wu Laogou's loud shouting sounded in my ears like thunder.

With the strange "rustling" sound coming from everywhere, this inexplicable terrifying atmosphere was completely pushed to the **.

"TM, did you think of something you shouldn't think, Lao Tzu killed you..."

Wu Laogou shouted violently and pointed his gun at me angrily.

And I sat on the ground, facing his almost distorted old face, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart.

"Ahh

"It seems that this is also the fate of the two of us, since we can't avoid it, let's give it a go."

He gritted his teeth, and his voice changed from anger to helplessness.

I opened my mouth to explain something, but before I could speak, I felt that my legs and waist were wrapped around an inexplicable force.

The round and rumbling body was accompanied by a rustling sound when rubbing the sleeves of the shirt.

"Shhhh Hiss. ”

I really can't take it anymore this time, so if it's something else, I can say it.

But about this long worm, every time I meet it, I think of a thousand ways to die for myself.

It's like a mouse meets a cat, only to be afraid of death.
