Chapter 66: The Tree of Shame
"If you don't want to die, hold on to me."
I opened my mouth to roar against the cold wind howling upwards, and the diminutive strange man behind me shivered, muttering something in his mouth.
The rough, thin arms were close to my chest, almost overwhelming me.
My eyes were bloodied, and the intense feeling of weightlessness instantly caused the blood to rush up, which was especially refreshing.
I could even feel the adrenaline rush in my body, and I could feel the fear from the abyss beneath my feet in the cliffs that gradually passed in front of me.
"Ahhh
In the end, I couldn't suppress the weightlessness in my heart anymore and screamed completely.
This feeling of emptiness, even if it is a "single-plank bridge" in normal times, is a hundred times more stimulating.
Suddenly, a little dark shadow came into view, and I didn't know what it was.
But what I know is that we're going to be bumping into "this thing" soon.
"Poof."
With a hoarse wail, I opened my eyes, only to find that I had stopped the downward trend.
He was stepping on the unknown black thing just now, trembling and shaking.
I took a deep breath and hurriedly leaned down on the cliff wall to stabilize my figure, and suddenly found that the strange man behind me was missing.
"Help... Help, military master. ”
A low ** sound came from under my feet.
I looked down, only to see that he was holding a black branch, his face was bloodless, and he was so frightened that he turned white.
Swaying from side to side in the howling cold wind, as if it was about to fall down at any moment.
I reached out and dragged him up.
With their backs to the cliff behind them, the gasps of the two big men came and went.
"Army... Master Jun, you saved my life again, you see that our brothers are fate. ”
The short man, who claimed to be Wu Laogou, smiled at me, his burnt teeth stood out in the light.
I didn't have time to talk to him, but carefully observed the scenery around me, and the emptiness around me exuded oppressive darkness.
The cracks in the rocks around him were covered with dark green moss, and the entire cliff was damp and dark.
And the mysterious thing that just saved our lives under our feet poked out many branches in the darkness, like a crooked neck tree growing on the edge of a cliff,
I couldn't believe my own judgment, but I was more and more surprised by the groping in my palm.
"It is against common sense that a tree grows in a dark place."
But the truth was in front of me, and I turned on the communicator, which was still fully charged, and carefully looked at the crooked neck tree under my feet under the light it emitted.
The emerald green leaves glow in the darkness, like thousands of fireflies flying in the night.
The middle-aged man behind him couldn't help but poke his head out, looking at the strange tree under his feet, his face turned pale in an instant, and even his hands couldn't help but tremble.
I was feeling a little strange, and I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, looking at his frightened eyes, and said, "Does he still recognize this tree?" ”
"It's... It's a shame tree. ”
Before I could open my mouth to test, his trembling voice came into my mind, and for a moment I thought about it but couldn't help but have a strange charm in my heart.
"Shame tree...? What is a ashamed tree. ”
I've only heard of camphor trees, locust trees, and willow trees, but I've never heard of a tree called the tree family.
I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart, and looking at his frightened expression, I couldn't help but have a faint premonition.
He looked a little excited, but he didn't seem to know how to express it, and finally he stubbornly put his finger in my palm and wrote a small word.
"Army... Master Jun, what do you look like in this word? ”
I watched him rub his saliva all over my palm, and I couldn't help but feel a little nauseous for a moment.
"It's... It's a shame, the left side is the heart, and the right side is the ghost."
"This tree should only grow in the underworld, and if it appears in the human world, it can only be a place where the yin qi is extremely heavy."
I looked at his funny face, sweat and dirt, but it was still hard to hide his frightened expression.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Let's go quickly, no one will survive when the hour comes."
He exclaimed, his face beaming with sorrow, but I still stood still looking at him.
"Master Jun, I... What I'm saying is true. ”
He looked up at me with a frightened look on his swollen cheeks, and even his legs were shaking.
In the dim light, his sweat "ticked" and fell to the ground into the black trunk at his feet.
I suddenly realized that I had just been entangled with that female ghost, but I had forgotten to observe the real "culprit" that had been lurking around me all along. ”
Casually, he adjusted the amount of light of the communicator in his hand to the maximum, and shone at the middle-aged man in front of him without hesitation.
In the strong light, his clothes completely appeared in the dark.
Next to a skinny face, there are slit-like eyes, and the top of the head is a big back head that can refract light, and I don't know how much hair oil is smeared.
He was wearing a shabby and faded antique coat, and a half-torn white robe was wrapped around his waist, as if the times were going back more than ten years ago.
With such a pretence, Zhun Bao is a typical traitor.
"Ahh
He hurriedly stretched out his palms to cover his eyes, and looked down the cuffs, only to see half of the hubs and drumsticks exposed.
I was stunned, but I was suddenly awakened by these two artifacts, and I couldn't help but chuckle when I thought that it was he who played the strange sacrificer in the first place.
This guy is running a train with an unknown origin, so he should be more cautious.
As he was thinking, he heard him howl again with a mournful voice.
"Master Jun, it's really too late if you don't leave."
This time I was a little impatient, and scolded angrily: "What are you yelling about, what are you ashamed of." ”
"It's such a big here, where do you let me escape?"
He froze for a moment, looking at the pitch-black tree trunk and the endless abyss beneath his feet, almost collapsing to the ground.
"It's over, it's all over."
"It's really better to be a human being, I can't imagine that my old dog Wu has been crisscrossing the ancient tomb for more than ten years, and today I am really going to die here."
I suddenly grabbed a handle in my heart, and thought to myself, "Didn't this kid just say that he was just a first-time offender, how could he become an old man so quickly." ”
I just wanted to open my mouth to poke him, but then I held back again.
In the current situation, it's better not to demolish him, God knows what the hell this person has in mind, and when he gets in touch with the platoon commander, it will not be too late to debunk and deal with him at that time.
I listened to him call out that he was a military master, and suddenly realized something, and then reversed the light of the communicator in his hand and shone it on me.
The broken white robe was red and white stained with blood, and even the dark green concealed military uniform inside was half exposed.
At this moment, I can't wait to give myself a big mouth.
During the mission, the platoon commander and his superiors repeatedly told him that this was a special plan.
The whole process will be kept confidential, and the offender will be punished.
Now the "Wu Old Dog" in front of me calls himself "Master Jun" one by one, but he has already seen through my true identity.
I put my hands together and subconsciously reached for the belt, trying to pull out the dagger stuck in it, but I fumbled around but didn't touch anything.
I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, that sharp blade was probably lost by me on the stone platform above my head.
