Volume 1, The Lost Valley Blood Tree Chapter 33, There's Something Behind My Back

"Could it be that the people above here have been eaten by these vines?"

Thinking about it, I can't help but feel a little chilled.

Chen Tao's words reminded everyone present like thunder. Although these vines are disorganized, judging from the size and general shape of the covered area, there are definitely two people lying on these two beds!

"These vines will absorb the corpses of living beings!" Uncle Long looked at the tiny roots on the broken vine and said, "If there had been someone here, I would definitely not have lived for so long." These vines must have been attracted to the corpse, and then wound up, grew these roots, and decomposed and absorbed the corpse like fertilizer! ”

"No wonder it stinks, how many corpses do you have to absorb to make such a disgusting body fluid?" Boss Zhang looked at the pile of black vines.

"If that's the case......" Uncle Wang frowned, "Along the way, there are so many vines on the ground, will there be corpses decomposed in them?" Or rather...... All the Japanese who used to be here died here, and none of them went out. ”

"I think someone should have gone out, otherwise how can the emptied machinery and equipment be explained?" Uncle Long said.

Since he came in, Yang Lixuan has not said anything. While everyone was speculating around the two corpses that had been decomposed by the black vine, Chen Tao noticed that he was alone towards an experimental table with several yellowed glass bottles.

With curiosity, Chen Tao walked to the experimental table where Yang Lixuan was.

The bottle on the table was sealed and appeared to contain some kind of liquid.

Yang Lixuan reached out and took one, looked at it and put it down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Tao picked up the bottle just now, shook the turbid yellow liquid inside, and was about to ask him what it was, but he heard Ah Cheng's voice coming from the door.

"The door is open."

When Uncle Long and the others heard this, they all stopped guessing and turned around and walked towards the opposite side.

Seeing that Yang Lixuan also followed, Chen Tao put down the bottle casually, turned around and prepared to walk out of the door.

At the moment of turning around, Chen Tao felt a chill down his spine for no reason, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him viciously, and something seemed to be crawling on his back, so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

There is a folk saying that when a lone wolf kills, it will gently put its paws on a person's shoulder, and as soon as that person turns around, it will instantly bite off his neck.

When I was a child, I also heard people from the older generation say that on Halloween, when you go out or go home at night, someone behind your back puts your shoulder on your back for no reason, and you must not turn back. Say yes, you have two lamps on each shoulder, and if you turn around, the thing behind you will blow out the lamp on your shoulder, and you will become his substitute.

Now Chen Tao is that feeling, there is something behind him, and that thing is there!

The feeling on his back was real, and he could even feel a trace of air flowing slowly behind his neck, burrowing into his every pore. Thinking of the two decomposed corpses, Chen Tao couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart: "It's impossible to wolf, could it be that those two people are dead and blind, you want me to go down with them......

The thing on his back seemed to be waiting for his next move, and Chen Tao stood straight in place, not daring to move. Douda's cold sweat slid down his forehead, Chen Tao's hands were cold, and his nails were tightly pinched into the flesh.

Uncle Long and the others were just outside the door, but Chen Tao couldn't even shout. He could even feel that as long as he moved slightly, even the slightest sound, the thing behind him would kill him instantly.

"Is that the thing?" Chen Tao remembered the ghostly black shadows he saw in a trance last night, those two pairs of eyes staring at him with red light, and he still can't forget them.

He tried to resist the urge to run out with a shout, but his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"What am I going to do, will I die here, decomposed like those two corpses......"

Chen Tao could even imagine those black vines slowly reaching towards him, burrowing into his mouth, eyes, and ears...... Those tiny roots run through every inch of their flesh, growing longer and longer......

"Uncle Long, they're outside, but they can't do anything?"

Chen Tao's eyes widened as he stared at the half-open rotten iron door in front of him, and the prayer in his heart almost turned into a low roar,

Who's coming, help me......

Chen Tao's heart was almost roaring madly. It was just beginning, and he didn't want to end here.

His body gradually became numb, all his perception disappeared little by little, and finally, he even lost his vision. The iron door grew and blurred in his eyes, and everything around him went blank. Chen Tao felt like a ghost, he didn't feel his presence, or he never existed.

His consciousness began to drift away, he no longer felt anything, and even his self-consciousness was gradually dying out.

In the end, everything fell silent......

Bang......

A crisp sound sounded in Chen Tao's mind, as if he had broken some kind of blockade barrier. Then, a bright light appeared in front of him, stabbing him so that he could no longer look directly.

In a trance, the blank space around him began to shrink violently, as if his soul was being withdrawn, and he slammed back into his body. The perception of the body was gradually recovering, and his front began to blur, and it became clear a little bit, outlining a handsome face with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

"I seem to know this person, who is it?"

His hearing was the first to regain, and the cries of many people could be heard in his ears.

"Taozi, Taozi!"

"Little boss! Little boss? What's wrong with you? ”

"What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know, hey, boy!"

The surroundings became noisy, and suddenly, a pungent and unpleasant rancid smell came into his nose, and with a violent retching, Chen Tao's whole person woke up in an instant. At this time, he was sluggish, unable to concentrate, and only felt that a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body, and the whole person collapsed.

Holding back the urge to vomit in his stomach, Chen Tao leaned on the experimental table next to him and looked up at the surroundings in a daze, and his memories came flooding back. Rubbing his aching head, he asked,

"I'm ...... What are you doing? ”

In front of him was Yang Lixuan, who was holding a broken vine in his hand at the moment, and the oozing liquid was emitting an unpleasant stench. Chen Tao found that he was still in the laboratory, standing at the experimental table at this time, there was a pool of yellowish viscous liquid on the ground, and the small glass bottle he had held in his hand had broken on the ground.

"Just now you were like a demon, your eyes staring straight ahead, standing there without moving! If it weren't for the sound of that bottle shattering in your hand, we wouldn't have known. Seeing that Chen Tao woke up, Haozi looked at him and said.

"I just ...... "Chen Tao was about to speak, but his stomach was overturned, and his mental exhaustion and physical discomfort almost made him faint.......

Seeing this, Haozi hurriedly threw him a bottle of water. Raising his head and drinking most of the bottle, Chen Tao felt more comfortable, pointed to the broken vine in Yang Lixuan's hand and said, "Don't tell me that you just took one for me to smell." ”

"You've just been tricked, and this is the fastest way to get you to your senses." Yang Lixuan threw away the severed rattan road in his hand.

"Taotao, what happened to you just now?" Uncle Long asked with some concern.

"I don't know, when I went out with you, I seemed to have something crawling on my back, and I couldn't move."

"Get out? Where are you going? The mountain ghost asked.

"He's just had his mind controlled, and those are supposed to be his hallucinations." Yang Lixuan frowned and said, "There seems to be something else in this place, Chen Tao must have fallen for that thing's trick." Be careful, that thing is more dangerous than I thought. ”

The others were about to ask something, when Ah Cheng's voice came from outside the door.

"The door is open."

When Uncle Long and the others heard this, they had no choice but to give up first, turned around and walked towards the opposite side. Yang Lixuan glanced at Chen Tao and followed out of the door.

Chen Tao looked at this scene blankly, all this happening in front of him was so familiar!

"Was it a hallucination, or was it reality?" Chen Tao stood stunned, unable to say a word in surprise.

Suddenly, a ghostly voice sounded in his ears, accompanied by a heart-palpitating smirk.

"You ...... Why don't you go? ”
