As several people continued to go deeper, the direction of the tree hole was much more relaxed than before, and they could move as long as they climbed. This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, if they kept walking like that, the long-term physical exertion would not be able to stand it.

To Chen Tao's surprise, the location where they were now was already very deep, and although the smell here was very unpleasant, everyone did not feel any symptoms of suffocation in their breathing.

This shows that the tree hole is connected to the outside world.

There was a glimmer of hope in the hearts of these people.

When passing through the Forest of the Dead, Chen Tao had thought about what those weird magic willows would look like when they were buried under the sand.

But he never imagined that what was under the sand would be so terrifying. Such a huge forest of the dead is actually made from the branches of the same demon willow, even if it is the legendary Jianmu Divine Tree that connects heaven and earth, it is nothing more than that.

"Commander Barlow, in the legend of Tatunan, is there any record of this great tree?" Chen Tao asked as he crawled.

Ballohad shook his head, "I only know that the Forest of the Dead was made from the hair of the god Nakara, and as for the part below the Forest of the Dead, I don't know. ”

After a pause, Balohad seemed to remember something, "My father once told me a story in which he said that Nakara was just an ordinary woman before he became a god of the underworld, and that her husband had been on the army for many years, and every day Nakara waited by the river for his return. ”

"Unfortunately, when his husband returned, their boat had an accident and all the people on board were killed by the demons in the river. Unwilling to accept her husband's death, Nakara exchanged her soul and the devil in the abyss for the power of darkness to kill the demon in the river, and wanted to resurrect her husband. Unexpectedly, the demon did not die completely, it destroyed Nakara's rituals and turned her husband into a monster. ”

"Could it be that this ghost willow is Nakara's husband?" Haozi frowned.

"Legends are legends after all, things are all mythologized by later generations, but ......" Chen Tao held the trunk tightly with his hands, "Do you think that this story is somewhat similar to that of Qianshu Hongde?" ”

"What do you mean?" Liang Shaokai asked.

Chen Tao looked at the bottomless abyss under him, and said with a serious expression: "I always feel that Qianshu Hongde will come to Tatunaan, and it is definitely not that simple. If it is true, as he said, that there is some kind of mysterious entrance in this world, connecting to some unknown strange forbidden place, then could it be that there is more than one such entrance? ”

"Whether it's the one on the island, or the one below us, or even the unfathomable canyon of the Black Gully, there's a good chance that there is some connection between these places."

"My grandfather once told me that no matter what people do, they will always have a purpose, things will not appear for no reason, and all this we have experienced and happened must not be accidental."

"You mean, these places are connected?" Hiroko's eyes widened.

"I'm just guessing that when I was in Kurokogou, I saw the altar in the temple of Tatunaan in a vision, and even these rat-headed figures. It's thousands of miles away from Heizigou here, but there are so many similar things, do you think it's a coincidence? ”

"Perhaps, Tatunan and everything here have something to do with that mysterious and strange world, as well as those so-called spirits, and even ......" Chen Tao paused and said one of his guesses.

"Some of them have also mastered the way to access the forbidden power! In the end, he became the god of Tatunan! ”

Haozi stopped talking, Liang Shaokai's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Balohad lowered his head and clasped the trunk tightly with his hands.

Several people fell into a short silence, and suddenly, Liang Shaokai screamed, and the whole person suddenly fell, and at the same time, a black shadow flashed from his body to the side.

The space of the tree hole is narrow, and Liang Shaokai is holding the inner wall with all his hands, but it is useless.

"Hold him up!"

Fortunately, Balohad at the bottom reacted in time, and saw Liang Shaokai sliding down from above, holding the inner wall with his hands and feet, and blocking Liang Shaokai with his shoulders.

The two of them fell for a long time before stopping, thanks to Balohard's death, otherwise the two of them would have been smashed directly into the darkness beneath them.

"What's going on!" Chen Tao shouted above.

"Ah, I just caught something!" Liang Shaokai gasped, the scene just now scared him enough.

"What's that?" Haozi asked.

"I don't know, I thought it was a sturdy lump, but I didn't expect that thing to be alive!"

"What, alive?" Chen Tao's face changed.

Before Chen Tao finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hard objects rubbing in the dark closed tree hole, and then a strange scream that made people numb all over the body sounded.

Giggles......

In the silence of the tree, a high-pitched cry was heard far along the crooked rhizome.

"Damn, it's a zombie monkey!"

Chen Tao's hair was about to explode, he thought that those zombie monkeys were all hiding in the deep hole below, but he didn't expect that there was another one here.

At this time, the vine branch was evil, Chen Tao and they were half lying on the inner wall, and they saw a black shadow in front of them rushing towards several people, the flashlight shone over, and a shriveled and hideous strange face appeared in Chen Tao's sight.

It was the undead zombie monkey.

The tree hole couldn't be used, and everyone was shocked to see that the zombie monkey had already pounced.

Having escaped in a hurry, several of them had thrown their guns in the temple, and there was no way to deal with such a strange and unreasonable thing.

Special mother's, fight!

Chen Tao leaned against the tree wall behind him, his feet squeezed hard to prevent him from slipping, and he grabbed the sapper shovel in his hand.

Bang!

The zombie monkey quickly pounced, and Chen Tao's shovel also slapped down fiercely in an instant.

Listening to the clang, the shovel slapped the zombie monkey in the face and slapped it back directly.

But this shot did not do any substantial damage, the zombie monkey monster screamed, bounced off the tree wall again, and the cannonball flew directly towards Chen Tao's front door.

At this time, the diameter of the tree hole was less than one meter wide, and Chen Tao really had no way to hide, so he could only fight the zombie monkey hard.

Chen Tao stuck his body tightly, wielding a shovel like crazy in his hand, and smashed it towards the zombie monkey again and again.

Haozi and Liang Shaokai and others at the bottom had the heart to come up to help, but there was really no way to accommodate one more person in the tree hole, and it was even more troublesome for two people to squeeze together. In desperation, a few people could only shake the zombie monkey's eyes with flashlights below, but doing so was tantamount to futility.

Giggles, clucks!

The zombie monkey screamed, and the two sharp claws kept scratching at Chen Tao, Chen Tao couldn't dodge, and his face was swept by the zombie monkey's claws, and in an instant, there was a blood mark, and a trace of blood seeped out of the wound.

"Lao Tzu's face, you bastard!" Chen Tao gritted his teeth tightly, desperately holding on to prevent the zombie monkey from coming forward, and a bloody wound was scratched on his face, and if he went a little deeper, his face and mouth were scratched.

Blood beads dripped down Chen Tao's chin, and Chen Tao didn't have time to pay attention to the wound, so he could only clutch the shovel to resist the zombie monkey's attack.

Chirping!

I don't know why, the zombie monkey suddenly screamed, and a look of fear appeared on the hideous strange face, and it instantly withdrew its claws.

Chen Tao saw the opportunity, and slashed a shovel on the neck of the zombie monkey, and with a crisp click, the zombie monkey's head was cut off by Chen Tao, and rolled into the darkness below him with a grunt, leaving only the headless body still holding the sapper shovel in Chen Tao's hand.

"Get out of the way!" Chen Tao shouted downwards and threw the zombie monkey's body down.

The headless body slammed into the inner wall a few times, its claws scratching at the tree wall, and it plunged into the darkness.

There was a brief silence.

Suddenly, a strange noise came from the darkness beneath you, dense and fine, as if there were countless nails rubbing against your ears, making people feel numb all over your body.

And the sound continues to expand.

"What's that sound?"

Everyone was stunned.

The voice came from the darkness under him, Chen Tao listened carefully, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"They're coming! Come on! Chen Tao gasped and beckoned the three people below to continue up.

Maybe it was because of the zombie monkey before that all the zombie monkeys in the black hole were alarmed.

"Still climbing!" Liang Shaokai screamed, "Ya, you don't want to die?" ”

"Do we have a choice?" Chen Tao didn't look back, clasped the tree wall tightly with both hands, and climbed up with all his strength.

I don't know how many zombie monkeys are climbing up behind, and once they are caught up, they are definitely dead.

Now, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, they have to fight!

After crawling forward for a while, the slope of the tree hole began to slow down, and the forks gradually increased.

Chen Tao and the others tried their best to pick up the thickest and widest tree holes and drill into them, no one knew what they would encounter, and no one knew whether they would be blocked in these tree holes like this.

Every time, it's a gamble!

Squeak squeak!

A piercing scream came from the darkness, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

They have tried their best, but the zombie monkey is not known how many times faster than them.

"Little brother Chen Tao, you guys go quickly!" At the bottom, Balohad paused and tried to stop the zombie monkeys that were about to rush up.

"It's useless, there are too many of them!" Although Chen Taoren is at the forefront, he also understands that in this kind of place, no one can run.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Tao held on to the tree wall and groped around with one hand for a long time.

"Oops! The bead is gone! ”

Originally, Chen Tao also wanted to use the power of the black orb to disperse the zombie monkeys, but he didn't know that the orb had been used to save his life.

At this moment, several zombie monkeys had already appeared behind them.

Finished!

Giggles!

A few strange screams were heard, and the first two had already rushed to the rear, Balohard.

"Leave me alone, go!"

Balohad screamed, clinging to the wall of the tree with both hands, and kicked the zombie monkey rushing at him with his feet.

"Commander Barlow!" Chen Tao wanted to help, but he couldn't do anything, and he was sweating all over his head.

There was a hot pain on his face, and the wound that was scratched by the zombie monkey before was soaked in sweat, and the pain was annoying.

From the time of the injury to the present, he did not have time to bandage the wound, blood mixed with beads of sweat running down his face.

Chen Tao wiped a handful of blood from his face, but a few drops of blood still dripped down.

At this time, the hollow in the tree where they were was was a little steep, and Chen Tao's blood dripped down, all of which dripped onto Ballohad's head

Squeak squeak!!

Suddenly, the zombie monkey below rioted, letting out a sharp and piercing scream, and the claws that were originally grabbing Balohad instantly pulled back.

I thought that the zombie monkey was going to rush up and tear them all apart, but in the surprised eyes of several people, the zombie monkey at the front suddenly retreated, and his shriveled face showed a very frightened look, screaming and jumping into the darkness below.

"What's going on!"
