Chapter Ninety-Four: Killing the Bloody Road
After a moment's delay, the situation changed again, and more and more dead corpses fell into the gray mist, and the skeletons skyrocketed again, approaching us at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A large number of branches and leaves were broken by the skull's swollen body, and the Taoist priest was anxious to see it, urging me not to delay and leave quickly.
The dilapidated state of the underground ruins of Fengyang kept coming to my mind, and I kept imagining that after the seal was broken, the yin wind howled, and all kinds of terrifying monsters rushed out of the sinkhole to cause trouble, and finally turned this land that gave birth to me into a scorched earth, and finally I couldn't sit idly by, but I couldn't do anything.
The huge contradiction tore me, I grabbed my hair and regretted it, the Taoist priest was impatient to look at it, so he simply didn't tell me, and shouted at the third child, "Run!" "At this time, the third child is obviously much more rational than me, he rarely didn't bite the Taoist priest this time, listened to his words, and didn't care whether I wanted to or not, and rushed to the top of the sinkhole.
Soon, in my strong self-blame and uneasiness, I let cowardice drive my body not to pay attention, trying to use powerlessness as an excuse to escape for my life, so that I can accept the choice made by the Taoist priest and the third child for me with peace of mind.
The canopy appeared, just as magnificently as I had seen it for the first time, it was still so crystal dreamy, the only difference was that there was an extra wave of corpses in the canopy.
Things didn't go as smoothly as the Taoist priest expected, and we saw a huge canopy occupied by a tide of corpses, and as soon as we crossed the canopy, we completely got rid of this formidable hell demon tree. However, at this moment, what we see is not only the dream of the canopy, but also the winding plank road ahead, and the dense tide of corpses on the plank road.
The Taoist priest stopped, and I could see that his face had changed from ruddy and happy after seeing the way of life to pale and desperate after witnessing the desperate situation.
I can't imagine how these resurrected corpses came to the plank road, because the corpses I saw before were just a bunch of reptiles that only knew how to climb upwards, even worse than reptiles, because they couldn't even turn, and once they did, they would face a fall into the abyss. I really can't imagine how they got from the magic tree in the sinkhole to the top of the boardwalk, until I witnessed a dead corpse climbing up the boardwalk, and I didn't dare to despise them anymore.
I have described the appearance of the Hell Tree, a huge plant that sits firmly in the center of the sinkhole, extending its branches and leaves all the way to the edge of the sinkhole. Rao is like this, the transition from the branch to the plank road is not easy, because although there are branches and leaves stretched to the side of the plank road, but that is already the most vulnerable part of the hell tree, just imagine that the treetop of any tree can bear the weight of a rooster at most, and if a person wants to stand on it, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, unless he really masters the knack of making himself as light as a swallow like a martial arts master.
The Taoist priest can do this, but I can't, the third can't, and those dead corpses can't either. The only advantage I have over them is that I have the third child, which is a big black dog that can jump seven or eight meters with all his strength, so I can get to the plank road from the branches. The dead corpses may be light, but they are definitely not lighter than the weight of a rooster, but they do come.
Not far away, I saw dozens of corpses unwilling to huddle on the main trunk waiting to be devoured, climbing a branch, they crawled slowly, and they also saw the plank road opposite, which was their only way out. However, the closer they got to the way out, the more overwhelmed the branches became, and after falling down seven or eight rounds of dead corpses in a row, the remaining dead corpses began to huddle, and they entangled one by one, and wrapped up a bone ladder alive, and the dead corpses at the front of the ladder finally reached the plank road, and then began to have dead corpses step on the bone ladder they had built to cross the insurmountable moat and come to the plank road.
I was so shocked by this scene that I couldn't imagine that this could be the work of a group of dead corpses driven only by instinct, and I began to tremble, fear, and even wonder if there was any trace of intelligence in these corpse tides. As for the end of the ladder, I don't care anymore, the big question now is how we can get through this distance, because the dead corpses that have left the Hell Tree are not in a hurry to go up, they seem to be afraid, and they stand there and watch.
This presents us with a huge problem, and I'm sure that if we break into the pile of corpses, they will do something against us, because they have done so before, but because of the appearance of the gray mist, the instinct to survive is greater than the desire for the breath of the living, and they will definitely face a fierce fight if they get close to them now.
"Damn, I really didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out, reporter, get ready, we're going to work hard, it's our fate to break out, and we also have a companion on the Huangquan Road when we die." As he spoke, the Taoist priest roared and rushed forward first.
The Taoist priest's actions were too decisive, and I was not mentally ready, he had already rushed forward, and the third child was also not slow to react, and followed straight behind him.
As soon as he entered the group of dead corpses, the conflict immediately happened, the Taoist priest was ready to quickly avoid the corpses on the plank road, and rushed out before they could react, but he underestimated the reaction of the group of corpses, as soon as the living people approached, they immediately noticed a different breath, and the dead corpses that were originally in a state of looking out were all irritable, and the dark fire in their eyes burned fiercely, and the fire was full of a strong desire for life, which made my soul tremble.
Immediately afterwards, the rampaging group of corpses launched a fierce attack, dozens of hundreds of corpses almost completely blocked the plank road, the Taoist priest shouted angrily, his palms slapped his luck violently, and several dead corpses were scattered in a row, but there were more roads ahead, the plank road was blocked, and it was impossible to move forward at all. The third took me to jump up in the air, a swoop overturned a large piece, actually opened up a small passage on the watery plank road, but we also paid the corresponding price, the group of corpses were knocked down, the ground except for the fallen corpses There is no place to stay, the third child's feet stepped into the bones, was tripped for a while, and almost loaded into the sinkhole, fortunately, the Taoist priest helped stabilize the figure of the third in the back, which was dangerous to survive the crisis.
After breaking out of the encirclement, my feet and stomach were full of blood marks from white bones, and the largest wound was almost bone-piercing, and the blood flowed all over my body. The third child's condition was also miserable, with countless scars on his body, his hair was scratched in several places, and the Taoist priest followed behind us, and the injuries were the lightest, only some slight skin injuries.
We pushed forward, and the dense corpses behind us did not give up, and swarmed to chase after us.
