Chapter 51: The Strange Woods

After scanning a few more rounds, I didn't find any clues, and just as I was becoming more and more confused, the light of my mobile phone inadvertently shone on the wall of the sinkhole under my feet. The outline of something seemed to appear in the flashing light.

I was shocked, but the flashlight was only inadvertently swept by, I didn't react for a while, hurriedly turned the light, and when I shone it, I saw a black backpack hanging on a crooked neck tree on the wall of the sinkhole about three meters below my feet.

The moment I saw the backpack, I suddenly felt happy in my heart, when I woke up just now, the backpack was gone, not how many valuable things were in the bag, but Lan's bones were still in the bag, she became what she is now in order to save me, and I must take her bones out of Yeling, otherwise my heart is always uneasy. Moreover, the mystery of this sinkhole has aroused the curiosity in my heart, and I always have a feeling that the blue light under the sinkhole is very important to me, and I must go down, and although the wall of this sinkhole can also be climbed, the danger of going straight up and down is always not small, so if you want to go down safely, you must get the rope in the backpack.

Strange to say, I carried this backpack on my back, and it stands to reason that my hands were entangled in the tongue of the big-headed monster, and it was impossible for the backpack to come off from me, unless the strap broke.

But I wasn't in the mood to think about it anymore, I desperately needed to get my backpack back. However, this sinkhole is vertically downward, although there are many gaps on the pit wall that can be climbed, but most of them are covered with slippery moss, this moss will have a lot of water coming out when you step on it, and after losing the water, the moss will become particularly slippery.

Even though the backpack was only three or four meters deep, I still didn't dare to take such a risk.

After watching for a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I suddenly had an idea.

Back to the place where I had fainted, after a while of rummaging, I found the tongue that I threw out, although I still felt disgusting, but now this thing is very useful, I can only endure it first.

My plan is this, this big-headed monster's broken tongue is more than two meters long, plus the clothes on my body, it is just about four meters long, as long as I go to get a branch, make a hook and tie it to the made rope, I can hook the backpack.

It was a reluctant move, I had originally wanted to use vines, but this Yeling was so strange that I couldn't see anything other than the strangely shaped roots that were exposed on the ground this night.

Although I have a weak temperament, I am not a hesitant person to do things, and I will do it when I think about it.

After tying the tongue and my two clothes, the length of the rope was sufficient. I tried it, the toughness is not bad, at least it can bear a weight of dozens of kilograms, I really don't know what the origin of this big-headed monster is.

With that done, I held up my phone and looked around for branches that could be used as hooks.

I really didn't expect that this unintentional move would make me discover the chilling weird side of this mountain forest, these trees, there seems to be a fucking problem!

Since entering Yeling, the moonlight has been completely obscured by the lush shade of the trees, no light can penetrate at all, although there is a flashlight at first, but I have always used it to find a good route to take, and I don't pay much attention to these trees along the way, until now, I am ready to look for branches suitable for hooks, so I carefully observed these strange-shaped trees in Yeling.

After just a few glances, I already felt that something was wrong, and the trees in front of me, each of them, had a human face on its trunk, and they were all faces with extremely ominous expressions.

The human face I am referring to naturally does not refer to the real human face, if there was really a human face on this tree, I would have been scared to death a long time ago, and it is impossible to find out until now. The long faces on these trees are formed by the lines on the bark, the outline is exactly the same as the human face, and even some details such as facial features are extremely clear, I even doubt that there is really a person embedded under the bark, if there is really a person embedded in it, it is really terrible, there are more than 10 million trees in Yeling, a tree is embedded in a person, so how many living people have been devoured in this Yeling!

You don't have to think about it to know that this guess is impossible, but the faces on the bark in front of you are really too realistic, each tree has a unique expression, without repetition, but these expressions are all extremely hideous, not terrifying, but this expression is very similar to the desperate look of a person when encountering a desperate situation or great stimulation.

I can't describe how these faces feel to me, and if I had to describe them in one word, I would only say that they are ominous, they are really unsettling.

The unique human face on each tree is the weirdest thing about these trees, and in addition to that, I found another disturbing thing, and that is the ground of Yeling. With such a big Yeling and so many trees, there is not even a single fallen leaf on the ground, which is clean, even cleaner than the boulevards next to some urban green belts.

This is incredible, it is absolutely impossible for others to come in Yeling, even if they come in, it is impossible to be idle and have nothing to do to clean up the fallen leaves, if you want to say that these trees will not lose their leaves, it is even more impossible, people will still lose their hair, not to mention trees, what trees will never drop leaves?

I should have noticed this when I first entered Yeling, but because of the fear of Yeling, I have been paralyzing my spirit, and I only care about looking for Taoist priests, this time I didn't realize it immediately, and now that I think about it, this is indeed the weirdest point.

I took a deep breath, the mystery and weirdness of Yeling was beyond my imagination, I had to leave the woods immediately, even if I went down to the sinkhole, it was better than staying in this mountain forest full of human faces, I really didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.

Thinking about it, I didn't go to observe the mistakes of these trees anymore, I just found a branch that seemed to be usable, and took out a small knife only the length of my index finger from the belt around my waist, this knife was given to me by my third uncle on my eighteenth birthday, it was very sharp and easy to carry, I liked it tightly, so I always carried it with me, and now it really comes in handy.

The blade had just cut through the bark of the branch, and I was surprised to see a strange image of the branch being cut open, and a scarlet liquid seeped out of the inside of the branch, like bleeding from a finger when it was cut when it was cut as a child.

I froze, and my hand movements stopped.
