Climbing down from the tree, I slowed down for a long time.

I have already told Xia Ruhai and Wang Ling'er about the general experience.

Xia Ruhai speculated that the reason why my father disappeared in the fog may have met me.

However, when you think about it, this speculation does not seem to be valid.

Because, for the first time, my dad disappeared, and it didn't take long for him to reappear.

Could it be that he escaped from the 'Trapper Vine' at great speed?

If you think about it, it seems that there is also this possibility, I am inexperienced, and I don't have a sharp weapon on me.

And my dad is just the opposite, he has always carried a sharp dagger on his body, which was left by my grandfather back then, and he is very likely to make a decision immediately and cut off the 'trapping vine' with a dagger at the first time!

It's just that I don't understand one thing, why at that time, after he got off the trapping vine, everyone called him, but he didn't react?

Is it inaudible?

I asked Wang Ling'er, did you hear a sound when I was shouting in the tree just now?

She gave me a blank look and said she hadn't heard.

Xia Ruhai also said, I didn't hear me shouting.

I looked over my head in confusion, and the birds in the trees were very eye-catching.

Suddenly, I slapped my thigh, "I see, that's how it is!" ”

"What do you know?" Wang Ling'er leaned over and asked.

I said, "You couldn't hear me just now, could it have something to do with the fog?" ”

"You mean, this fog not only blocks people's view, but also absorbs sound and has a sound insulation effect?" Wang Ling'er looked at me and asked.

I nodded.

Xia Ruhai frowned and echoed: "Yes, the old man also made this idea just now, there may be no effect at close range, once it exceeds a certain distance, you may not be able to hear people's voices." ”

Whether that's the case or not, no one can say for sure.

Xia Ruhai asked me to rest for a while, and then led Wang Ling'er and me to continue on their way.

Only then did I know that Chen Mu and the others were able to escape from the forest by luck, which was a great shit luck.

In this forest, the surrounding trees are about the same, and it is difficult to make out the exact direction especially when it is foggy.

Along the way, Wang Linger found a suspicious point: the dark red marks left by my father before were almost very chaotic.

In some places, there is obvious duplication, and even three or four are superimposed.

It stands to reason that they should have left a well-organized mark as they walked all the way, so how could this happen?

Xia Ruhai took a closer look, and shook his head again and again.

I remembered what I had just experienced, and I said to them, "Is there a tree that can move?" ”

Wang Ling'er and Xia Ruhai didn't speak.

I asked Xia Ruhai, "Master, do you believe that there are dryads in this world?" ”

"Dryad?"

Xia Ruhai's face sank, "Lu Yuan, have you seen anything?" ”

I told me about the strange tree with a human face, Xia Ruhai frowned and said, "I think it's really not easy here, you must be careful in front!" ”

Then Xia Ruhai told us about one thing, he had encountered something about the dryad before.

Xia Ruhai said that it happened in '82, when he was invited to show people feng shui.

When he returned, he found a cave to shelter from the rain because of the heavy rain.

By the time the rain stopped, it was already dark.

At that time, the traffic was difficult, many places were small roads, and he was going back just to pass through a mountain pass.

There were many dead people buried in that place, and it was an old cemetery.

Xia Ruhai, a feng shui gentleman, naturally didn't care about so much, so he went straight to the col with a torch at the moment.

At first, everything went well, but when I got to the middle of the col, I suddenly heard a whining cry.

Xia Ruhai was puzzled at the time, so he followed the sound to find it, and when he came to the bottom of an old tree, he found that the crying just now was not from a person at all, but the old tree in front of him!

The upper half of the old tree has been broken, and only about two meters of dead poles remain, and the sound comes from the broken dead poles.

Xia Ruhai has traveled south and north all the year round, and has seen a lot of strange things, so he has the courage to move to the old tree at the moment.

At this time, he took a torch and saw clearly that this old tree was growing in the middle of an old tomb, and there were dozens of graves of all sizes around it!

Xia Ruhai was secretly surprised, and suddenly a shriveled human hand stretched out strangely from the withered pole!

He was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back, but as soon as he settled down, a human head suddenly rolled out from under the hole in the old tree!

Xia Ruhai was shocked and hurriedly retreated under the slope.

However, he didn't want to run for his life, but immediately found a large bundle of dry firewood, threw it in front of the old tree, and then burned the old tree directly with a little fire.

The next day, he went to the neighborhood and looked around for a long time before he could roughly understand what was going on.

It turns out that this area is a corpse breeding ground, but it is not the dead people buried in the grave who benefit, but this strange old tree that has come back from the dead!

Xia Ruhai said that the old tree borrowed the corpse to absorb most of the yin qi, the so-called dead wood in spring, the corpse qi to nourish it, and then turned into essence, and gradually became spiritual.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time at that time, and if it were a few more years for the old trees to become the climate, it would not be a fire that could solve it!

After listening to this, I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the human-faced monster tree is in a similar situation?

According to the description of the people who escaped, the strange tree with a human face is very huge, but I am afraid that it has already become a climate......

If the fairy bone golden seal is near it, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to get it!

Xia Ruhai explained to us while walking, Wang Ling'er didn't speak, and seemed to have paid no attention to these things.

After continuing to walk forward for a while, Xia Ruhai signaled to stop.

Then, he took out two strange things from the bag on his back and placed them on the ground, which I saw as two **.

There is a red line wrapped around the bottom of the foot, and a symbol that resembles a triangle is drawn on each side.

Xia Ruhai asked me and Wang Ling'er to stand on the side, and he himself held a strange iron plate in his hand.

I asked him, what was this going to do?

Xia Ruhai smiled mysteriously, "You'll know in a while!" ”

Wang Ling'er watched Xia Ruhai's every move in a muffled voice, and a slight wrinkle appeared between her eyebrows.

She may know what Xia Ruhai is going to do, but I look at her eyes as if there is a little doubt.

After a while, the two '**' on the ground turned left and right, and Xia Ruhai shook the iron plate in his hand gently.

"Alright, I know where the grotto is!"

I was a little puzzled, "Master, you were just exploring the way?" ”

Xia Ruhai nodded, "Yes, this place has a special location, and it won't work at all with other methods, so it's not my set of stone asking for directions!" ”

Asking for directions?

I heard it inexplicably, and they all said that interlacing is like separating mountains, and I am at least separated by several mountains.

"Let's go, you come with me."

Xia Ruhai beckoned and walked ahead.

Wang Ling'er and I followed.

However, the three of us had not walked a few steps, and suddenly another layer of fog came out of the woods.

"Lu Yuan, you hold on to that rope and don't walk around!"

Xia Ruhai hurriedly ordered, and then saw him take out a red-headed cockscomb-shaped thing from the bag on his back and blow it at it.

"Woo."

"Can you hear the voice?" Xia Ruhai asked.

Wang Ling'er and I nodded.

"Remember, if you are separated, pay attention to the sound of the 'iron horn', this thing has strong vocal penetration, I hope it can have an effect."

As he spoke, the fog in the forest grew louder and heavier, and almost in a moment it filled the entire forest.

The three of us walked slowly, and after only ten minutes, suddenly a strange figure appeared in front of us.

The figure stood still, motionless.

My heart sank, could it be the strange figure that Chen Mu and the others saw before?

"Who?"

Wang Ling'er shouted at the figure vigilantly.

They had already heard me talk about what Chen Mu had described, and they were also very puzzled by this figure.

Now that it suddenly happens, it is natural to be cautious.

The figure stood silent, and the atmosphere was very strange.

Xia Ruhai was stunned, and then threw something directly at the figure.

The object slammed into the figure's back with a soft thud.

It doesn't seem to be an ethereal illusion, I've always had the idea that this figure is just something that doesn't exist.

But now, it was clear that he was an entity, something that really existed.

In order to avoid my father's situation at that time, Xia Ruhai called me and Wang Ling'er to him, and the three of us walked towards the figure together.

Soon, it came to the front.

Xia Ruhai reached out and patted the figure on the shoulder.

At this moment, the figure moved, shrugged his shoulders slightly, as if he had just been awakened.

Suddenly, the figure turned its head sharply.

When the three of us saw it, we couldn't help but be surprised!
