Volume 1, The Lost Valley Blood Tree Chapter 69, Change
"I'm top!"
Hearing the sound, everyone hurriedly ran towards the place where Boss Zhang was.
In front of us was an immensely large space, and in front of me was a stout and tall black tree, which could be as tall as a few floors.
From a distance, the giant tree looks like a sacred tree that reaches the sky, and you can't see the end of the branches when you look up. Countless thick roots pierced from the bottom of the tree to all sides, like giant snakes rushing and winding, the thickest of which was even thicker than a water tank.
The giant tree has a thick pole, and even if there are a dozen or so people, it may not be able to surround it. The roots of the trees cracked the earth, and the long, black roots the thickness of the water tank rolled and entangled. Countless branches sprouted from the rhizome, spreading in all directions like a huge net, and the surrounding stone walls and cave roofs were covered with black vines, and the dense roots hung high like hair, looking a little terrible.
Under the tree is a stone platform more than one person high, and rows of boulders enclose the whole tree. Judging by the stone carvings around the platform, this was definitely built by man.
Facing Chen Tao's cave entrance, there was also a tall black stone altar, and when you looked at it from a distance, you could only roughly see what seemed to be something on it.
And that's not even the most shocking!
What surprised everyone the most was that around this giant tree, there were black wooden coffins lined up, and at a cursory glance, there were hundreds of them.
The coffins were strangely placed, and there seemed to be some pattern in the darkness, arranged horizontally or vertically around the giant tree.
What made everyone even more panic was that among the vines, between the coffins, there were corpses everywhere, there were ancient armies wearing armor, and strange ancient corpses in cloth and linen robes, which were entangled by vines, wrapped and gathered around the giant tree, making people's scalps tingle.
Here, how many people died!
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, and beams of bright light swept in all directions, and everyone did not take a step for a long time.
Under the cold white light of the flashlight, the twisted corpses flashed from time to time, and the hideous heads made people shiver all over the body. The timid few in the crowd turned white with fright.
Rusty broken swords, rotting spears, broken pieces of armor, and rotten arrowheads could still be seen on the ground.
"This ......" Chen Tao opened his mouth blankly, and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Is this TN fighting, why did so many people die!" The mountain ghost swallowed hard.
Chen Tao carefully looked at the few ancient corpses closest to him, and the corpses had grown into one with those roots and vines. What made him even more incredulous was that the bodies were not decomposing.
The corpse was dark and swollen, its hair was almost gone, its face was severely deformed, and its mouth was hideous and terrifying, and there was no half-human form at all.
Chen Tao's legs and stomach were weak for a while, these people didn't know how they died, and now they have become such a terrible appearance.
"This place is a place for corpses!" Uncle Long was also the first time to see this kind of scene, and he was also taken aback by the scene in front of him after so many years of strong winds and waves.
"That'...... Well, do we want to go over? Boss Zhang looked at Yan Dao.
Yan looked serious, and only said after a while: "It's really evil, I'm a long insight!" ”
"Why is this the way it is...... Is this big tree, that altar, the one carved by that door? Ye Rongliu's eyebrows frowned, and her expression was a little dark.
"Could it be ......" Uncle Long squinted and looked ahead, the bright light of the flashlight shot straight at the altar, "Could it be that the sage is lying on it?" ”
Everyone's face was shocked!
Although it was a little far away, it was impossible to see what was on the altar, but the fresco engraved by the strokes before the echo sounded was really the place where the bones of the sage were buried?
These coffins around there...... Could it be that those people in the mural were buried together!
Who is buried here, and so many people are willing to be buried for it!
The mountain ghost pulled out a folding shovel and used the tip of the shovel to pick open the vines on a wooden coffin.
This wooden coffin looks very ancient, and it is simply carved with some interlaced patterns, like these surrounding tree vines.
The material was black, and the mountain ghost smashed it with a shovel a few times, only a few marks, although I don't know how many years have passed, but it is still as hard as iron.
Chen Tao looked at Haozi: "Do you know what kind of wood this is?" ”
Haozi shook his head: "I have followed my grandfather for so many years, and I have never seen this kind of wood, could it be that it was cut from that tree?" ”
"For coffins, the best wood is golden silk nanmu, but this is not."
"Oh, what the hell are you doing with all that rotten wood, open it and see if there are any treasures in it!" Boss Zhang shouted impatiently, and casually greeted Ah Cheng beside him, "Come, get me out of the way!" ”
Ah Cheng inserted the shovel into the gap in the coffin lid, and his two big hands grabbed the shovel handle and pried it vigorously. As soon as his body sank, he tilted the lid of the coffin a few points.
At this moment, Uncle Wang held down the lid of the coffin.
Uncle Wang had just woken up from a serious injury, and his body was still very weak, he looked at Boss Zhang and coughed a few times and said, "I advise you not to open it, there is such an evil door here, and the things inside are not something we can deal with!" ”
"Oh, you're hitting the street, I'm going to take the baby, that's my business, you care too much!"
"Boss Zhang, I don't care about you if you want to take things, but if you joke with the lives of so many of us, I won't accompany you!" Uncle Long walked over and stood with Uncle Wang looking at Boss Zhang with a displeased face.
"Hmph, Di Yilong, you old boy, your Chen family is really used to being powerful, why should you listen to you? Every time you come down, you have to insert a good thing, and if you don't take it yourself, others can't take it? Joke! ”
"Damn, what are you TN fooling about? Looking for a fight, isn't it? Seeing that Boss Zhang was in trouble, the mountain ghost stepped forward and glared at Boss Zhang.
"It's not your turn to talk here, it's just a dog, don't always jump out and bite people!" Boss Zhang raised his eyebrows and looked at the mountain ghost with disgust.
"I'll go to your M's, I think you're looking for death!" The mountain ghost was furious in an instant, and directly pulled out a gun and aimed it at Boss Zhang's head, gritted his teeth and said, "You TM will force Lao Tzu to try again!" ”
"You...... What do you want! Seeing the muzzle of the black hole pointed at him, Boss Zhang was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
"Don't move!"
Seeing that the mountain ghost pulled out his gun, Ah Cheng on the side also raised his gun and aimed it at the mountain ghost.
Seeing this, Haozi on the side grabbed the pistol at Chen Tao's waist with his left hand and aimed it at Ah Cheng, and as soon as his right hand flipped over, three long nails were clamped on his fingertips, as long as Boss Zhang and the others dared to move, he would not hesitate to throw the nails in their faces!
The scene suddenly became tense, and Chen Tao glanced left and right a few times, which he had never expected. Gritting his teeth, he also raised the submachine gun around his neck, aimed at Boss Zhang and a few people in front of him, his heart was pounding, and his palms were sweating.
Yan touched his chin on the side, looked at a few people with disdain, and retracted the cuff slightly with his other hand.
Chen Tao would not doubt that if something really happened, this kid would definitely not be merciful.
There was a sudden silence all around, and Chen Tao, who was quiet, could hear his heartbeat.
The two sides were at a stalemate, glaring at each other through gritted teeth, and no one moved.
"Oops! What are you doing! As for it! Liang Shaokai waved his two arms and walked among the crowd, "Hey I said, it's not easy to come in, you just got to the door of the house and you started fighting, you don't want anything in there?" ”
No one on either side paid attention to him, and the stalemate continued.
"Tsk, hey, I said! Alright, let's take a step back, okay?" Saying that, Liang Shaokai walked to Chen Tao's side, raised his hand and pressed Chen Tao's submachine gun.
"I said little brother, what are you doing with the fun, you haven't even pulled the insurance! Okay, okay, hurry up and persuade your uncle! ”
Liang Shaokai is not stupid, this is using Chen Tao as a step down!
Although he knew Liang Shaokai's purpose for doing this, Chen Tao still put down the submachine gun in his hand, turned his head to look at Uncle Long, and saw that he was squinting his eyes and looking at Yan.
From the time of the conflict to the present, the two of them have not spoken much, but Chen Tao feels that at this moment, the eyes of the two can rub out the sparks.
"Into this hole, everyone is in the same boat, this pot has just been set up, don't wet the firewood yourself!" Ye Rong smiled slightly, and walked in front of Boss Zhang, but her body blocked Ah Cheng's muzzle, "Boss Zhang, listen to the little girl's advice, there are many treasures in the cave, don't hurt the harmony!" ”
