Volume 1, The Lost Valley Blood Tree Chapter 32, Strange Vines

Chen Tao didn't know when he fell asleep. When the mountain ghost and Uncle Long came to change the guard with them, Chen Tao's eyelids had already begun to fight.

On the one hand, Uncle Long and the mountain ghosts are already veterans of this industry, and they have long adapted to such a lifestyle. Even Haozi, although the two are about the same age, Haozi is much stronger than Chen Tao.

On the other hand, after experiencing such a thing as corpse poison, Chen Tao's spirit has almost always been in a trance.

I don't know if it was because of the drug, or if he was so tired that he was hallucinating. Lying in the tent, in a daze, Chen Tao's eyes seemed to pass through the fabric of the tent and saw several black ghosts crawling on the wall outside.

The black shadow was the size of an adult cat, and the pair of eyes that glowed red in the dark looked towards the tent where Chen Tao was, and looked at Chen Tao through the fabric, and the ghostly eyes revealed bloodlust and madness that made people's hearts palpitate.

At this time, Chen Tao was already sleepy to the extreme, and he didn't know if it was his hallucination or a dream just now. Chen Tao only felt that he was wrapped in darkness quickly, just in a trance, and the whole person fell into it.

......

"Taozi! Taozi! Wake up! Feed! Get up! ”

I don't know how long it took.,In the confusion, it seems that someone is calling yourself.,Listening to that voice should be Haozi.。

This night, Chen Tao slept very deeply, and almost did not dream.

sat up with difficulty and rubbed his somewhat sore neck, but his shoulder hurt a lot, making him feel a lot more sober.

"It looks like I hurt my bones and muscles from that crash yesterday...... Fortunately, I brought some when I came, maybe it will work. Chen Tao pinched his somewhat sore shoulder with one hand, dragged it over the backpack on the side, and turned out a plaster from it.

"You...... What are you doing? Li Hao, who was on the side, looked at him with some curiosity, and couldn't help asking.

"My shoulder hurts a little, come on, help me put this on it." Chen Tao tore open the bag, but with a little force, his right shoulder felt a faint pain. took out a piece from it and handed it to Li Hao.

"Where's the sticker?" Haozi took the plaster that Chen Tao took out.

"Here." Chen Tao turned his back, his left hand around his neck and pointed to a place behind his right shoulder:

"This piece is painful, this plaster is used to treat bruises, you can just put it on."

Haozi didn't speak, at this time he was staring blankly at Chen Tao's bare right shoulder, which was covered with black and purple bruises, and the entire right shoulder part of his back was almost complete.

Haozi reached out and pressed Chen Tao's back with his fingers, and immediately heard Chen Tao's grinning gasp.

"Haozi, you light, it hurts a little." Chen Tao couldn't see his back, so he could only open his mouth to remind.

"It's just such a palm-sized piece, I don't think it's enough......" Haozi said to Chen Tao.

"What do you mean?" Chen Tao asked curiously.

"See for yourself!" Haozi took out his mobile phone, took a photo of Chen Tao's back with the help of the light, and handed it over.

Looking at the bruises on his back on his phone, Chen Tao couldn't help frowning.

"Damn, is it so serious!" Immediately, his left hand reached into the bag and pulled out the bag of plaster just now, and said:

"When I came, I brought three bags, and there were four pairs in one bag, and if you look like this, you can use it for three or four days at most." Chen Tao threw the plaster bag to Haozi and said, "No matter, let's stick it like this first." And also...... Don't tell Uncle Long, I don't want him to worry about me. ”

"Alas, okay, okay, it's all up to you, turn around!" Haozi sighed and waved his hand to signal him to turn away. slapped three pieces of dog skin plaster on Chen Tao's back, and the remaining pair was put back into a bag and handed to Chen Tao.

After receiving the plaster and applying a little potion made by Yang Lixuan to deal with bloodthirsty black insects, Chen Tao got dressed and walked out of the tent.

It was still pitch black outside, and Uncle Long and the others had already finished breakfast and were packing up. Seeing Chen Tao come out, the mountain ghost came over with a fast food cup, and inside was the batter made of compressed biscuits.

After a night of digestion, the stomach was already empty. Get up early to eat this thing, it is more appetizing, at least after eating, the stomach is warm, and people are a lot more energetic.

After packing up, everyone set off again.

Gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, he picked up the equipment bag, and the strap was tied on his shoulder, Chen Tao felt that his right shoulder was going to be wasted.

Before leaving, Chen Tao glanced at the walls around him. The dreamlike scene from last night came back to his mind.

"Strange Dream ......"

Shaking his head, Chen Tao felt that he must be too tired, after all, he was sleeping in a tent, how could a person's eyes see something on the wall outside through his eyelids and tent?

Chen Tao didn't think much about it, and followed everyone out of the iron door of the canteen with a flashlight.

Yesterday, I searched all the rooms on the right side of the corridor, and I got very few clues.

Out of the room, several people walked straight to the depths of the passage on the other side. By the light of the flashlight, you can see that there is a closed iron door on the right side of the front. Further on, there seemed to be two large iron doors in the depths of the hallway.

The black vines on this side were much thicker than the one they had walked yesterday, and some of them were as hard as branches when they stepped on them, and the skin of the vines had cracked into tree lines.

"It is estimated that these vines grew from this area, and the main trunk should be near here." Uncle Long looked at the black vines around him and said.

The men walked up to the iron door on the right side of the wall, which was locked. The lock was already rusty, and the keyhole was blocked by rust, so he had no choice but to let Ah Cheng and the soldier brothers use brute force to open the lock, and the sound of slamming the door echoed in the entire corridor.

The others waited, and Chen Tao held up his flashlight and looked at the opposite wall. The walls were covered with black vines, but Chen Tao's eyes noticed that there seemed to be a door under the vines in the middle part. What's even more strange is that from here, the number of black vines on the left wall is obviously much more than that on the right.

Pulling out a folding shovel from the side of the backpack, Chen Tao took it with his left hand and slashed the vine branches a few times. His right shoulder was injured, and his left hand didn't have much strength, but he cut a large crack in the entangled black vine, and when he looked closely, sure enough, there was still a room here.

The movement attracted the attention of the others, and the mountain ghost came over and picked up the shovel and cut off several black vines that were the thickness of the child's arms, and pulled a large piece of it.

A rusty iron door appeared in front of him, the same style as the one diagonally opposite, but the rust was much more severe than that one.

"This one is locked too." Glancing at the rusty iron lock on the door, the mountain ghost spoke.

"Get out of the way!" Uncle Long commanded.

The iron lock on the door was more rusty than the one on the right, and the mountain ghost smashed it with a shovel a few times before it broke, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Raising his foot and kicking open the closed iron door, the mountain ghost stepped into the room first, followed by Chen Tao and the others.

"It's ...... Laboratory? Looking at the objects and furnishings around Zhou, Uncle Long wondered.

The area of the room is more than 30 square meters, and there are two large bed-like things in the middle, which are full of black vines, and they are entangled in a bunch, like a pile of black snakes of all sizes.

Around the walls were several lab tables and large cabinets, some of which were filled with dust on bottles and jars and things like instruments. There are a few wooden chairs in front of the table, which are neatly placed, and the things on the table are also arranged in an orderly manner.

"Compared to the previous rooms, everything here is so orderly, it doesn't look like it's been some kind of emergency?" Chen Tao said.

"That's weird, isn't it that when something happened outside, it wasn't affected in the slightest?" Haozi said casually.

"Let's see." Uncle Long looked around and walked towards the two bed-like things in the center of the room.

Most of the black vines around them converged on the two beds, and there was something on the beds that attracted them. Those vines were centered on the two beds, spreading in the center, like a black demon flower that exploded.

"There seems to be something in there." Looking at the piles of black vines wrapped around the bed, Yan said, "Don't you think...... Isn't it strange that these vines are entwined? ”

"What do I think...... Looks like a personal one, huh? After a gesture, Boss Zhang frowned.

Several people came to the side of one of the piles and cut off a few black vines, which oozed a lot of foul-smelling liquid.

The vines here are no different from the ones outside, except for the intertwined parts, and something like rag cotton wool is stuck to them.

The mountain ghost pulled out a paragraph, and everyone looked carefully and found that the flocculent objects were nothing else, but many small roots grew on these vines. The roots were no longer able to tell which vine had grown, and they were tightly intertwined.

"The ones crawling on the walls have tentacle suction cups and stuff like that, but they're not the same as these roots." Uncle Wang said.

Chen Tao shone one a flashlight on the side of the bed, and found that there were several protruding thick steel bars on the side of the bed, and the steel bars were welded to the bottom of the bed.

"This thing...... Seems to be used for bondage? Chen Tao said curiously: "Could it be...... There was a person on this side who was eaten by these vines......"
