It is a two-meter-wide, tree-wide passageway.

The aisle is surrounded by a circular circle, and the ground floor is covered with a red carpet.

It's really strange to say, the four walls of the passage are actually made of bluestone, plus the lamp slaves on both sides, it looks like they are buried in the underground tomb corridor.

Could it be ...... This place is not inhabited by living people at all?

It's a tomb...... A tomb built on top of a giant tree?

In the corridor, a pair of lamp slaves can be seen kneeling on both sides at intervals, and the flames in their palms burn faintly, illuminating the entire corridor as bright as day.

However......

Walking in it, we feel extraordinarily eerie.

The sedan chair, which was carried by eight wax men, disappeared into the depths of the corridor.

It was quiet all around, except for the sound of our footsteps, only the sound of candles burning in the palms of the lamp slaves on both sides.

Occasionally, wax drips from the palm of the lamp slave's hand, making a ticking sound.

The sound of water droplets falling to the ground echoed through the passage, and it was extremely loud.

At this time, Yan Xiaoying suddenly stopped beside a female lamp slave, frowned and looked at it with an abnormal expression.

I was supporting her at this time, and when I saw this, my heart immediately tightened, and I hurriedly stopped to look at the female lamp slave in front of me. But Lao Fei walked in front of him unconsciously, and still walked forward.

The lamp slave in front of her was a young woman, with long hair hanging down her shoulders, her body covered with transparent wax oil, and the candle flame burning in her palm.

It may be that when we move, we move the air and the flame flickering, as if it will go out at any moment.

I looked carefully and didn't find any difference between the female lamp slave and the others, so I couldn't help but ask Yan Xiaoying, "What's wrong?" ”

"Shhhh

"Voices? Could it be that she is still alive? ”

I was startled, and immediately listened with bated breath.

After a few seconds, however, there was silence all around, and nothing was heard.

I looked at Yan Xiaoying suspiciously.

The latter glanced at me, shook his head slightly, and said, "Maybe I'm too nervous and have a delusion." ”

She said that, but she still stared at the female lamp slave in front of her.

At this time, Lao Fei, who was walking in front, finally realized that something was wrong, and turned his head to see that Yan Xiaoying and I stopped in place and didn't follow, so he opened his throat and greeted: "Hey! I said, what are you two grinding there? These broken corpses are worthless, what's so nice about them? ”

His voice was very loud, echoing in the corridor, spreading far away, like thunder exploding, and it lasted for a long time.

Hearing the old fat shouting, Yan Xiaoying looked away from the female lamp slave.

The two of them followed quickly.

The road is very long, and there are twists and turns, and there is no end in sight.

The three of them walked almost 100 meters on the road, but they had not yet reached the end.

This makes me wonder that according to estimates, the diameter of the big tree is not more than 100 meters, could it be that we have entered the inside of the branches of the big tree?

After walking for dozens of meters, the old fat in front of him suddenly said in surprise: "Finally caught up, you two look at what's in front of you?" ”

At first, we thought we had reached the end of the road, but when we caught up with Lao Fei and followed his gaze, both of us couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw that there was still a road ahead, but in addition to the lamp slave on the road, there was one more thing.

It was a safflower palanquin, which was small but very delicately decorated.

It stopped in the middle of the corridor and blocked our way.

And the eight wax men who were in charge of carrying the sedan chair collapsed to the ground one by one at this time, and the lanterns in their hands also fell to the ground.

"Why did you stop here?"

I remembered that in the room before, I saw the legs wearing saffron shoes under the sedan chair, and I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and a sense of fear inexplicably rose in my heart.

This...... She wouldn't have stopped here on purpose to wait for us, would she?

Old Fat took the things from her dresser...... Don't you want to settle accounts with us now?

I was thinking nonsense.

Lao Fei didn't have so many scruples, stared at the sedan chair in front of him, revealing a thief's light, and walked over quickly.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaoying and I also quickly followed.

After coming to the sedan chair, I looked carefully and saw that the four wax men behind the sedan chair were all lying on the ground at this time, motionless, and the lantern in their hands rolled aside.

But the fire was not extinguished, for there was a lamp in their palms that stretched out.

Obviously, these eight palanquin wax men are the same as the lamp slaves on both sides, and the reason why the lanterns in their hands will be lit is also because of the light line in their palms.

At this time, the flames were still burning faintly in their palms.

In addition to this, we also found a puddle of wax liquid beneath them.

It turned out that as the flames burned, most of the wax that had covered them melted away at this time, revealing their original true bodies.

The wax on the ground was like a puddle of rotting corpses and overflowing corpse water, and it looked extremely disgusting.

And there was a disgusting rancid smell coming out.

It was definitely the stench of decomposing corpses, because I was all too familiar with it.

Although it was not the first time I had smelled this kind of smell, I still felt unbearable and disgusting in my stomach at this time, so I couldn't help but reach out and cover my mouth and nose.

And the old fat's face was also ugly for a while, and he scolded and scolded in his mouth.

Yan Xiaoying was calm, but her eyes fell on the wax man lying on the ground, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

I wondered why all these things suddenly fell here.

Could it be that it was the waxy substance on their bodies that drove them to move, and now that the waxy substance melted, they lost their motivation and turned into a dead corpse completely?

In my silence, Lao Fei had already skipped the four fallen corpses and got into the sedan chair.

"Be careful......

Seeing him so reckless, my heart almost rose to my throat.

However, after a while, Lao Fei came out of the sedan chair again, his face was ugly, and he scolded: "This ...... Too poor, right? Why don't you even have a decent dowry? Mao didn't see one, it's really unlucky. ”

Yan Xiaoying and I looked at each other and hurriedly walked over to watch the sedan chair.

Then the three of them went around to the front of the sedan chair, opened the curtain and looked inside, and sure enough, there was nothing.

As Lao Fei said, not to mention the thing that wears flowered cloth shoes, there is not even a single hair.

The old fat heart was unwilling, and finally climbed directly to the top of the sedan chair, looking for something rich, he took off the bell hanging on it, took a look, and finally found that it was just an ordinary bell, and he was even more depressed.

But he still didn't give up, and in the end he was about to dismantle the sedan chair, and he still didn't find a valuable treasure.

"Something is wrong...... These wax people...... It seems like one is missing. ”

At this moment, Yan Xiaoying suddenly spoke in a deep voice, reminding me and Lao Fei to be careful.

After her reminder, I found out that there were four wax people in the back of the original eight wax men carrying the sedan chair, and there should be four people in front.

But when I looked closely at this time, I found that there were only three wax men who fell in front of the sedan chair, and one wax man was missing.

Where did he go to that wax man?

Suddenly, Yan Xiaoying and I couldn't help but be vigilant and looked around.

"Huh...... Is the missing wax man you are talking about the one in front of you? ”

At this time, Lao Fei suddenly pointed to the passage in front of him.

We looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, we saw the vanished wax man, who was lying in front of a lamp slave with his palm on his knee.

There was a trail of wax on the ground.

This wax man has climbed out more than ten meters away, a dead man, and I don't know how he did it?

The three of them walked over, and the old fat covered his mouth and nose, and kicked him with a look of disgust, making his original lying posture turn into his back facing the sky.

In the firelight, when we saw his face, we couldn't help but be shocked.

Originally, these corpses were covered in wax and lifelike like living people.

But the wax corpse in front of him, the wax on his body had melted completely, and the flames burning in his palm were very weak, and when the old fat kicked the corpse, the flames were extinguished even more.

To our horror, the body of the corpse in front of us had festered beyond its appearance after the wax on its body had melted.

A small hole appeared in his face, revealing the pitch-black bones inside.

The bones of ordinary people are white, but the bones of the corpse in front of them are black, as black as ink.

Obviously, this person was poisoned at the time of death, otherwise it would not have been. Even the bones have turned black, so it must be taken internally.

After taking the poison, he was refined into a wax man......

"Huh...... He still has something in his body. ”

Yan Xiaoying's eyes were sharp, and she suddenly said like this.

Lao Fei and I looked, and sure enough, we saw that something was wriggling inside the festering wound of the corpse, and there were not a few of them.

However, because the things were covered in rotten flesh, it was impossible to see what they were.

"Is it because the corpse has been stored for too long and has already been raw?"

"It's not a worm, you see."

As soon as Yan Xiaoying's words fell, we saw a black ant the size of a thumb burrowing out of the corpse's Heavenly Spirit Cover.

This ant is different from ordinary ants, not only is it very large, but it also has pincers on its head, and the tweezers are larger than its body, like giant horns.

What's even more terrifying is that it is now using the front pincers to cut the flesh of the corpse's head.

It can be seen slicing the carrion of the corpse into countless small pieces with its pincers and then beginning to devour.

Its mouth is so small that it can't tell if it's not eating.

"Devouring corpse flesh, what kind of ant is this?"

I was horrified, because with the appearance of the first ant, there were ants emerging from the carcass, and in the blink of an eye, there were twenty or thirty of them.

The carrion on the surface of the waxed corpse in front of him was almost devoured by countless black ants at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing pieces of black bones.

Faced with such a scene, even Yan Xiaoying, who had seen the big scene, looked shocked and retreated in horror.

"This kind of thing...... It's a corpse eater! ”

"Corpse eaters? Could it be the Gu King Corpse Devouring Ant that Lin Miao had kept in his body at the beginning? Oh, my God! There are so many ......"

I opened my mouth wide and couldn't believe my eyes.

If what Yan Xiaoying said was true, these black ants that came out of the rotting corpse in front of her were all corpse devouring ants, it was really terrifying.

You must know that the corpse eater ant was originally raised by Lin Miao in his body to fight against the existence of the Clematworm King, it may not be as good as the Worm King, but it is absolutely terrifying.

"Can't be wrong, these are corpse eaters, but they are just ordinary corpse eaters, different from the one in Lin Miao's body at the beginning, the one in his body is the ant king."

"But even ordinary corpse eaters are terrifying, they are extremely aggressive, much more powerful than the ghost-faced crabs we encountered in the crystal cave, not to mention ......"

"Not to mention what ......"

Seeing those black ants crawling out of the rotting corpses in a steady stream, we only felt that our scalp was numb and retreated far away.

"If my guess is correct, these corpse eaters are deliberately kept in these wax bodies. It's like raising Gu. These people should not have died normally, and they must be angry when they are refined into wax people after their deaths. And corpse eaters are conceived in corpses, absorbing grievances, and have long become an incredible existence. ”

"What? Raising Gu? You mean...... These wax people, including the surrounding lamp slaves, all have this terrible ant in their bodies? ”

As if to verify my words, as the carrion corpse in front of me was devoured by the corpse eater ant and made a strange noise, there were also voices coming from the surrounding lamp slaves.

The rope rang out.

The wax corpse that fell under the sedan chair also began to fester.

It's not a normal fester, but it's devoured and torn by the corpse eaters in its body.

Corpse eaters emerge from them......

Seeing this in front of you...... I finally understood why Yan Xiaoying said that she heard a voice coming from the female lamp slave's body.

It wasn't an illusion, the sound she heard before was made by the corpse eater ants that were conceived in the lamp slave's body.

As the corpse we first saw emerged from the corpse, there were abnormal movements in the surrounding lamp slaves, like a fuse.

While we were shocked, something even stranger happened......
