I took a flashlight and shone it over.

A withered wicker wrapped around Liu Baiyun's right foot!

That sizzling sound is the wicker moving!

Liu Baiyun was anxious to kick his feet, but he couldn't shake off the wicker, and his hands couldn't tear the wicker.

The wicker seemed to be alive, turned into a small snake, and spread along Liu Baiyun's feet to his legs!

I was also shocked and shouted, "Don't move!" ”

I hurriedly pulled out the dagger from my waist and slashed at the wicker.

The dagger fell, and the wicker broke in two.

Whoosh!

The broken wicker quickly retracted and disappeared into the darkness.

"Dr. Yang ......"

Liu Baiyun grabbed my arm and trembled with fear. But she suddenly remembered something, and immediately let go of my arm, pretending to be calm, "Those things have obviously withered, how can they still move?" ”

My face was solemn, "Ordinary wicker, even if it is alive, it is impossible to move." As if conscious, these wickers were cut by me and escaped. ”

This is the first time I've encountered this.

I crouched down and looked over to the spot where I had just chopped the wicker.

On the ground, there was a faint red thing, which was left by me cutting the wicker.

I sniffed, it was blood!

I hurriedly took the dagger and cut off a few wickers next to me, which were dead and did not move, and there was no blood in the fracture.

One thing comes to mind.

Sun Zhepeng said that after Li Dazhuang and his wife and the villagers cut down the willow tree here, the willow tree bleed.

Could it be that the thousand-year-old tree has not died?

Also, the wooden stake that Lei Chen laid down before, and the skull was also stained with blood.

Is there any connection between the three?

"Doctor Yang, did those wickers kill these mages?" Liu Baiyun looked at the corpse next to him, then looked at the blood stains on the ground, and suddenly said, "What you just said, something entered the deceased's seven orifices and sucked up the things in his body. Isn't it...... Are these wickers dry? ”

It would be terrible if the two were connected!

I looked closely at my surroundings and there was silence.

You can hear your own footsteps, the sound of breathing.

The light of the flashlight can only shine about five meters.

The darkness around is full of mystery and weirdness.

I took the cow tears out of my bag.

"Here, put this on your eyes."

I smeared cow tears on Liu Baiyun's eyes, and I also painted them on myself.

"What is it?" Liu Baiyun said in surprise: "Hey, the light around seems to be much clearer." ”

I explained: "This is the tears of the ox, the yin qi in this ancient tomb is extremely heavy, blocking our vision, with the tears of the cow, we can pass through the yin qi." ”

Our line of sight plus the light of the flashlight can see more than ten meters away.

Liu Baiyun asked, "Which direction are we going?" ”

I said, "You can find the taproot of the inverted tree, which is where it was cut off by Mr. and Mrs. Li Dazhuang." ”

"Keep up with me."

I walked forward with the dagger, and Liu Baiyun involuntarily approached me several times, but quickly moved away again, keeping a fist distance from me.

I know that she is afraid that this kind of thousand-year-old tomb has unpredictable dangers inside, and I am also nervous.

Withered roots and yellowing willow leaves were everywhere.

The huge inverted tree, dead here.

There are also some discarded wires and light bulbs that have been pulled here before.

The deeper you go, the more willow sticks are suspended in the air everywhere, and there are also dense withered willow branches on the ground.

"Found it, found it!" A minute later, Liu Baiyun pointed in the direction of three o'clock above her head, "Doctor Yang, look over there!" ”

Since the thousand-year-old willow tree is an inverted tree, the roots are naturally the top of the head.

Looking in the direction of the overhead, the huge taproot grows in all directions, occupying more than two square meters, like gray pythons entrenched on the top of the cave, crisscrossing and crisscrossing.

The roots on the roots of the tree are like precious ginseng, dotted under the roots of the tree, and supported by the surrounding stone walls, like an ink painting.

The thousand-year-old tree shocked me.

"It's beautiful." Liu Baiyun sighed, "It's a pity that these roots have lost their vitality. ”

I approached quickly, walked directly below the taproot, and looked up to take a closer look.

I was more than a dozen meters away from the taproot above.

In the center of the taproot is the trunk that has been cut off by sharp weapons.

The oddly shaped taproot has a lot of severed stubble on it, and it seems that the roots were destroyed in order to transport the trunk.

The incision where the main trunk was cut off was more than two meters in diameter, and the surface of the incision was dark red, as if it had been stained red with blood and looked like it had been dried.

To be able to cut down such a large willow tree and transport it out is definitely a big project.

On the ground, there are also many traces of machine operation.

Liu Baiyun's eyes were shocked, and he sighed: "Such a perfect tree root, such a perfect thousand-year-old tree, has been completely destroyed. "If the roots of the trees here can be completely taken out and carved into a large wood carving, it will definitely make a sensation in the world."

I said, "The inverted tree, it's an ancient tomb creature, the main trunk has been taken out and something has happened, and you still want to take the roots out?" ”

"There are some Eastern Evil Spirits, which live underground, and cannot be taken out."

Liu Baiyun glanced at me, "I just sighed." ”

"Don't sigh, do the right thing." I pulled a few thick wickers hanging down around me in turn, making sure they were heavy enough, "You light me, I'm going to go up and check the incision in the trunk." ”

Liu Baiyun lit me with a flashlight, and I also had a flashlight in my mouth.

I grabbed the wicker around me and climbed up, and when I got to the top, I grabbed the drooping roots and climbed towards the center of the root.

As I climbed up, I used the power of the bone technique to touch the roots, which were all dead and lifeless.

Soon reach the incision of the trunk.

I pulled over two wicker sticks and tied them to my body, immobilizing my body to ensure that it would not fall.

I started to check the facets.

I first touched the red thing on it, and when I checked it, it was really dried blood!

"Kill me!"

"Please, kill me......"

Suddenly, the voice came to my ears again.

Yesterday during the day, I was at the edge of the cave and heard this voice.

Now, hear it again!

This time I heard it very clearly, it was a woman's voice.

The voice seemed to ring in my heart.

It's like, it's coming from somewhere at the root of the tree in front of you!

Liu Baiyun's face was normal, but she still didn't hear it.

In any case, first checking the roots, I urged the bone to touch the knees, and pressed my right hand towards the center of the facet.

Suddenly, Liu Baiyun below exclaimed, "Doctor Yang, you're behind!" ”

I hurriedly withdrew my hand, and suddenly turned around, three meters away, a black shadow hung upside down like a bat on the root of a tree!

In the next second, the black shadow moved and pounced in my direction!
