Chapter Seventy-Four: The Arm Tree

The south and west of Jiuling Mountain belong to the "yang" side, which is different from the cold and dry climate in the east and north, and the temperature in the south is higher, even in the early spring of Ningchuan, it seems to be much warmer here, and even has an unbearable sultry heat.

Chen Xian and his party entered the bush along the path next to the locust tree. Because the trees on the road are too dense, even the sky will inevitably become overcast, and the light around it will become extremely dim, plus it has been raining here for the past two days, so the ground is full of weeds and mud sticking to shoes.

As the leader of the team, Chen Xian took Mu He and Mr. Skeleton to the front of the team, while Sun Zhihai and the others followed in the middle of the team, followed by Xu Yanan and Lu Yisheng.

From the moment he stepped into this forest, this mountain forest felt strange to Chen Xian from beginning to end, even if he didn't notice any "abnormality", the yin and yang particles in the air remained in the most normal state...... He still finds the feedback here uncomfortable.

This discomfort has nothing to do with the climate, nothing to do with the disgusting mud.

If you really had to describe it in words...... He felt that there were many things in the woods that were invisible to the naked eye, and he was silently watching the group stepping into the bushes. Lin's uninvited guest.

"This place looks so weird, it feels like it's dark when they go in!"

"Is there any danger in the vicinity? Are there any anomalous beings lurking? ”

"Look at what they said before..... This is supposed to be the lair of the anomalous life...... Can these few people handle it...... Are the reinforcements of the Secret Bureau coming soon?? ”

The audience in the live broadcast room fell into a heavy atmosphere, as if they were watching a real horror movie, everyone's mood was inexplicably heavy, and there was some irrepressible tension, even if they were not present at the scene, they could still feel the weirdness on Jiuling Mountain from the picture.

The procession into the mountain was quiet, and no one spoke the whole time.

Perhaps it was because of the silence of the crowd that the atmosphere was unprecedentedly depressing.

For a while, there was only the sound of shoe soles and mud sticking and tearing apart in the woods, and even the insects and birds that should be in the mountains disappeared unconsciously, as if there was a force called "dead silence" enveloping this mountainous area, and the quiet atmosphere made people inexplicably uneasy.

This oppressive atmosphere lasted for about ten minutes, and suddenly, Chen Xian, who was walking in the forefront, stopped without warning, he seemed to have discovered something, and the expression on his face couldn't help but become much more vigilant.

"What's wrong??" Seeing that the people in front of him had stopped, Lu Yisheng also hurriedly stopped, poked his head to the side, and said in a very nervous tone, "Boss! Is there a situation ahead?? ”

Xu Yanan's psychological quality is much stronger than that of Lu Yisheng, so at this time, her expression is only slightly vigilant, not as scared as Lu Yisheng, seeing that Chen Xian, the leader of the team, stopped, she was not in a hurry to be curious about what was happening in front of her, but took the magic weapon and scanned the surroundings vigilantly, especially the mountain road behind her.

"The road is rotten."

Chen Xian's voice sounded faintly, and anyone could hear the doubts in his tone.

"The road is rotten?" Lu Yisheng was stunned, "Isn't this road already quite bad?" ”

"It's not rain, it looks like it's ..... It's rotten. Chen Xian replied in a low voice.

At this time, Sun Zhihai and others, who were following Chen Xian, also stepped forward, and the cameraman instinctively raised the camera and began to take close-ups of the mountain road ahead.

As Chen Xian said, the mountain road in front of him is indeed rotten.

This thicket. Lin is like a heavily rotted corpse. The ground is a strange waxy yellow, and many large ones can be seen everywhere. Large and small cracks, from time to time, you can still see some dark green liquid of unknown origin, like pus flowing from a corpse, exuding a ..... The smell of rotting corpses.

Contrary to this disgusting anomaly, the plants growing in this area were unusually luxuriant, much taller than the normal plants I had seen before, and the weeds, which were only tens of centimeters long, could grow up to half a meter tall here, and the surging vitality made Chen Xian very surprised.

"Strange place......" The skeleton suddenly spoke, crouching down without hesitating the disgusting liquid. The body stroked the ground with a bloody palm. "This is supposed to be the place where death spreads...... I smell the smell of death...... But these unspeakable vitality have appeared......."

Chen Xian silently walked forward in the deep bushes. Lin Xiaolu glanced at it and said to the people behind him without looking back.

"Heighten your guard and move on."

Walking on this disgusting mountain road, not only those who followed Chen Xian were tortured, but even those viewers who watched the live broadcast shouted that it was better to let them die if they walked in this kind of place.

Time always flies at such times, and before they know it, Chen Xian and their team have been walking in the mountains for almost forty minutes, until Sun Zhihai and their sixth time they were vomited with disgust, and the team finally arrived at Cong. The end of the forest.

The information given by Huo Fatzi was not wrong, it seems that the part of Wei Ran's memory that was hidden in the depths of his memory...... It is indeed real, not fictional.

Cluster. At the end of the forest trail is a green meadow.

The meadow is as large as two or three football fields, and there are no plants on the ground except for green weeds....... Of course, there is another plant seriously, but in Chen Xian's eyes, it is not a plant, but an unknown and unspeakable thing.

It was a "dead tree" with a strange shape.

As Huo Fatzi described before, this dead tree is unusually large, it looks like it is as tall as a building of seven or eight stories, the huge gray-white canopy is even more obscure, and the shape of those withered branches is even more weird, it is not as simple as "like" at all, no matter how you look at it, those branches are human arms.

Each palm was so thin and slender, and the fingers were interlocking with each other, and even though they didn't have any leaf-like tissue growing on their surface, they looked ...... The canopy of the trees was still terrifyingly dense, like a giant web-like sphere made up of countless arms, and Chen Xian could smell the strange smell they emitted from nearly a hundred meters away.

There is a smell of earth after rain.

There is a bloody smell of meat.

There are also some strange ..... Botanical aromas.

"What's that?!" Sun Zhihai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he hid behind Chen Xian, looking at the giant tree, his eyes were full of fear, "Are those branches human limbs?" ”

"I don't know."

Chen Xian replied softly, the nerves of the whole person tensed instantly, and he held the meat sawing knife in his hand tightly, looking at the huge dead tree as if he was facing a great enemy.

Perhaps infected by Chen Xian's emotions, the black light parasite hidden in his body also activated, constantly turning into liquid metal and seeping out of his pores, and began to cover and envelop his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Different from the past, this time the area covered by the parasite is Chen Xian's right hand, which is the connection between his palm and the meat saw, under the cover of liquid metal, the handle of the knife instantly merges with Chen Xian's right hand, as if he was born to grow on his arm, which is some kind of extension of his limbs.

At this moment, Chen Xian's eyes had moved away from the dead trees and looked at the villa on the other side of the meadow from a distance.

Different from the Wei villa, the shape and construction technology of that villa are more ancient, like a product left over from England in the last century, the whole is made of concrete blocks, the architectural lines are simple but rich in unique beauty, the sloping roof is dominated by dark dark brown, perhaps no one has taken care of it for many years, and the roof is full of endless moss at a glance.

That villa was only two floors, and the area was not very large, probably only one-tenth the size of the Wei family's villa.

"Boss, could the nature of that anomalous life be hidden inside?" Lu Yisheng came over at this time, pinching his wooden magic weapon with both hands, his expression was very nervous, "Let's go over and have a look now?" ”

"I'll go explore the way first, you stay where you are, don't move, and you can come back when I'm sure there's no danger." Chen Xian said calmly, his eyes without any emotional fluctuations were on the villa from beginning to end, as if he was observing something, and there was a rare seriousness in his eyes, "You pay attention to vigilance, if there are other abnormal lifeforms...... If you can beat it, you can fight, and if you can't beat it, you can take people away, understand? ”

"Understood." Lu Yisheng nodded.

At this moment, just as Chen Xian was about to walk towards the villa, a strange wind suddenly blew on Jiuling Mountain, although Chen Xian had never been to a coastal city afterwards, but this gust of wind made him feel like he had come to the seaside.

The bitter cold wind howled like an invisible beast, and in the midst of this gust of wind, no one could stand still, let alone the tree.

As the wind howled, the branches that looked like human limbs shook loudly, and faintly everyone heard a terrifying scream, but because the wind was so loud at the moment, they couldn't tell for a moment whether the screams were wind or something else.

Gradually, the wind stopped, but the screams did not disappear but intensified.

The screams came from the direction of the dead trees, and even though the wind had stopped by this time, the shriveled and gray branches were still shaking wildly, and thousands of screams and howls continued to be made.

Between the shaking of the branches, Chen Xian vaguely saw a humanoid creature falling from the canopy.

"Stay where you are, and I'll go and see."
