Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Gray Fog Rises Again, and the Demon Tree Revives
At the moment, we are less than ten meters above the ground, and we can see the situation very clearly below.
Outside the area shrouded by the Hell Tree, the waxy ground was still frosty, and there was a circle of small Hell Trees on the periphery, and beyond was the underground forest shrouded in endless darkness, and the gloomy whimper came from the dark forest, in all directions, in every direction, and the sound was constantly moving towards the Hell Tree in the center, and the distance was not too far.
We weren't in a high position, and our view was obstructed by the small hell trees around us, so we couldn't see what was going on in the forest, but we could see wisps of gray smoke coming out of the forest through the gaps between the trunks, slowly escaping towards us.
The moment I saw this smoke, I felt a chill all over my body, and I suddenly understood where the lingering uneasiness in my heart came from, the gray fog, this gray fog.
I have seen this kind of gray mist, in that stone cave more than forty meters above the ground, I witnessed a highly poisonous lizard turn into a blood mist in the gray mist, and then the blood mist was also swallowed up, if it were not for the passage at the end of the stone cave leading to the bone cave in the depths, I am afraid I would have been the same as that lizard. I told the Taoist priest about the power of the gray mist, and he also showed a moved expression after hearing this, and immediately decided to leave this ghost place.
"No, wait!" Just as we were about to climb up, the Taoist priest suddenly stopped me, and at the same time, the third child also bit my trouser leg and dragged me forward.
"Huh? What's wrong? I patted the big black dog and looked at the Taoist priest in confusion.
The Taoist priest looked weird, stared at the third child for a while, and then suddenly looked at me and asked, "Didn't you notice that those three-color leeches are gone?" ”
I was stunned for three seconds before I reacted, and when I looked at it, I found that it was indeed the case, and the three-colored leeches on the tree were all gone.
"Maybe I couldn't find food, so I retreated!" I reassured myself that even I thought it was far-fetched.
The Taoist priest shook his head and said that it was impossible, even if so many leeches wanted to run, they would definitely leave some behind, and it was impossible for them to become so clean all at once. After saying that, his face became extremely nervous, and coupled with the fear of those fogs, the atmosphere here suddenly became extremely solemn.
After a moment of silence, the Taoist priest suddenly said to the third child: "Hey, that dog, did you see something?" ”
If it was usual, his tone would have bitten the third child a long time ago, but now the third child just nodded, but his eyes kept staring at us.
The reaction of this person and a dog immediately gave me goosebumps, I am too familiar with the third child, he would not be like this if he didn't see something terrible.
"Are we hallucinating?" I swallowed, remembering some of my previous experiences.
The Taoist priest replied that there was such a possibility, that the dog's eyes were psychic, especially that of a black dog, and that the third child was still a psychic black dog over thirty years old. I asked the priest what to do, and at this time, the gray mist below had already shrouded several hell trees, and those hell trees that were also wrapped in wax and also had corpse cocoons had just been touched by the mist, and suddenly all the corpse cocoons crumbled into flying ashes, and then all disappeared, as if they had been swallowed out of thin air.
I saw that my scalp was numb, and the Taoist priest also saw this scene, and his face became ugly. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked at me, and suddenly grabbed my left hand, and with a lightning stroke of his fingers, a bloody mouth appeared, and he hurriedly grabbed my hand and sprinkled it where the big black dog was staring, and the blood beads spilled out, and a burst of black smoke suddenly rose from the branches in front of us, and at the same time a terrible scream sounded.
I was secretly scolding the Taoist priest for having too long nails, but I didn't expect to see such a scene, and my scalp suddenly went numb, and I retreated straight to the side of the old three. With the bubbling black smoke, I saw a grayish skeleton cowering in front of us, blocking our way.
"It's him!" I and the Taoist priest shouted at the same time, both recognized this old ghost, this guy is a self-cracking corpse cocoon we encountered before, the Taoist priest saw this old ghost at the first glance and said that he had a problem, we didn't dare to touch him at the time, I didn't expect that the corpse is really up now, and he is hiding in this place to prepare to plot against us.
"Immeasurable your mother's Tianzun, good guy, thanks to the Dao Master, you have an extra heart, dare to plot against your Dao Master, and see how the poor Dao cleans you up!"
The Taoist priest shouted angrily, raised his hands to the heavenly spirit to quickly close the Taoist Fu Demon Seal, and at the same time recited the magic formula, the voice was so loud that there was a feeling of Hong Zhong Dalu, and then he heard him scold, shouting: "Pro!" A pair of big palms were immediately imprinted, and a gust of wind slapped at the old ghost.
The skeleton was stained with my blood, and at this time the place where the blood was stained was emitting black smoke, as if it was contaminated with sulfuric acid, and it was screaming violently, seeing the Taoist priest with a pair of big palms, he screamed, and the skull opened suddenly, exhaling a breath of black gas and biting the Taoist priest's palm.
The Taoist priest's palm is fierce, which can the old ghost stop, I saw him change direction slightly, and the palm of his hand suddenly avoided the skull mouth and slapped on the heavenly spirit cover, beating the old ghost to pieces, and suddenly scattered into a pile of broken bones.
I was dumbfounded, and said that this Taoist priest was really hidden, and I just wanted to ask him if he could teach me the palm just now, but I didn't expect that the scene in front of me was like a broken lens and turned into countless pieces, I only felt a dizziness in front of my eyes, and when the vision recovered, I found that the situation in front of me had changed.
Leeches, dense three-color leeches are all over the tree, only this small area where we stand has no leeches to come forward, and the rest of the places, including the place where the broken bones and corpses are in front of us, are also covered with leeches. The broken bones are naturally old ghosts, and at this time, they fell into the leech pile, and countless leeches swarmed up, and they were eaten clean almost instantly.
Hiss!
The Taoist priest and I both gasped, shocked at the horror of these leeches. Obviously, our vision was disturbed by the old ghost before, and some of the real situation could not be seen, and it was not until the old ghost was killed by the Taoist priest that these hidden situations were revealed. I can't help but sigh at the ferocity of the old ghost, this guy not only hides in front of him and waits for us to plot, but also hides the leeches full of trees, if you accidentally step into the leech pile, you will be killed in minutes!
The old ghost was killed and smashed by the Taoist priest, but the accident was also born because of this. After the vision returned to reality, we immediately found that the corpse cocoons all over the tree had undergone abnormal changes, and at a glance, all the corpse cocoons had cracks on their bodies, and it was obvious that the corpses inside were about to come out.
The Taoist priest and I immediately thought of the old ghost, and it was immediately cold from the head to the soles of the feet, and a corpse came out that almost killed us, if all the corpses on the entire tree were resurrected...... Oh my God, I couldn't imagine that image, and at the same time I immediately recalled what I saw in my childhood, is the experience of the past going to be repeated today?
"Run, big black dog out of the way, we're following, speed, this hell tree is going to be revived!" The Taoist priest shouted anxiously, the big black dog took the lead, a pair of front paws swept away the leeches blocking the way like a whirlwind, I was close behind the big black dog's buttocks, the Taoist priest followed, and the two of them and a dog climbed up desperately.
All the corpse cocoons were trembling, all were cracking, and from time to time there were corpse cocoons cracking on both sides, and broken wax blocks accompanied the corpses, falling one by one like ripe fruit. At first, there were very few corpses shed, more dense cracking sounds, and by the time we climbed to a height of about twenty meters, the falling corpses were as dense as raindrops.
This scene is very weird, compared to the previous leech rain is too terrifying, imagine one day, you walk alone on the street at night, surrounded by only dim street lamps and mottled tree shadows, there is no one, suddenly, a dry corpse falls next to you, you are frightened, another corpse falls, and then the dense corpse rain around you does not stop, that sense of horror is enough to make any person nervous breakdown.
Most of the corpses that had broken out of the cocoon had fallen to the ground, but a considerable part had fallen on the wide branches of the trees, and they had fallen and then staggered up, like the old ghost, blue flames in their hollow eye sockets, and then staggered towards us.
Obviously, we were the only thing in the world with life and yang energy, except for the leeches full of trees, and we suddenly became their targets.
Because the number of leeches was too much, the speed of the third Qingdao could not keep up, and the leeches behind him quickly closed again, almost climbing onto the Taoist priest's buttocks. The Taoist priest followed me in a cold sweat and yelled at us to hurry up, he was about to be surrounded by northern leeches. My situation is not much better, the third child can't completely get rid of the leech, I follow it and never know what the next step will be, I can only pray in my heart not to touch my skin to touch the leech.
Fortunately, although the leeches closed quickly, but I don't know why, they seemed to have scruples, and never completely outflanked them, although the resurrected corpses on the branches on both sides were terrifying, but they were blocked by the trunks, and could only stare at the branches.
I told the Taoist priest to hold on, there is a stone path around the sinkhole that leads to the outside, as long as we climb to about 40 meters, we will go to the top of the stone road, and then we will be able to get rid of these dried corpses, and we can still use it to run, and we don't have to climb trees to suffer this sin.
The Taoist priest has been frightened by the leeches that are pressing around him and dare not speak, so he can only urge me to hurry up, hurry up, at this time I am almost on the ass of the third child, even if I want to be fast, I can't be fast!
In fact, I am already very satisfied with the current situation, the resurrection of the dry corpse can not threaten us, as long as the leeches on the tree are not forced over, we climb up like this, to the level of the stone road, only need to find a branch without a dry corpse to climb along, you can jump directly to the stone road, at that time it is really the sea is wide with the fish jumping, the sky is high and the birds fly.
Ideals are always perfect, and they look so pale every time they are hit by reality, and the balance I expected didn't last long, and the Taoist priest behind his ass screamed.
