This is a rather strange thing, the doctor looked at it for a while, his face suddenly changed, and he said to us: "Reporter, Taoist priest, this seems to be a way to store food!" ”

Hearing this, we were both stunned, and the Taoist priest asked, "How to store food?" What do you mean, you can be clear. ”

The doctor's expression was solemn, and he took a long breath: "You look at the corpses on the ground, all of them have been gnawed and leftover, and they have been rotting for a while, indicating that these people have been dead for a long time, and the corpses on the tree are obviously still fresh and relatively intact."

I suspect that these dead people were brought to the island by something that ate part of the corpses and hung them on trees for later consumption, and that the island was most likely a storehouse for storing grain! ”

The Taoist priest and I were stunned by the doctor's shocking speculation that the corpse of a human being was hung on a tree as food for storage, which made people's scalps tingle just to think about, and if it was really what the doctor said, it would be terrifying.

What kind of bloody and cruel thing could have done such a horrific thing? With so many corpses and remains here, did the third uncle survive them? What happened to the third uncle and my father?

A series of questions hung over my heart like a cloud in the sky at this time, making me more and more anxious. However, regardless of whether this place is a granary for monsters or not, we can't stop, we must find out the situation on the island as soon as possible, and see if the third uncle and father are on the island, so that we can decide on the next move.

Thinking of this, I hurriedly urged the Taoist priest to leave quickly, this guy originally planned to remove Lao Gou's body and bury it, saying that he and this person were also acquaintances, and it was just a matter of not seeing it, since he saw it, he couldn't let him be so violent in the wilderness.

The doctor and I hurriedly persuaded him, saying that if you want to release it, you must wait until the situation on the island is clear, this corpse is hanging so high, it is not easy to untie it, in case there are other dangers on the island, when you go up the tree to move the corpse, suddenly encounter an accident, should we wait for you to come down, or should we directly smear oil under the soles of your feet?

The Taoist priest stopped after hearing this, and the three of them continued to walk, and found a lot of corpses, both broken corpses and complete corpses hanging on trees, and their miserable condition was really impossible to describe in words. But fortunately, except for the disgusting feeling of the decomposing corpses, we have not encountered any danger on this island, and what makes me happiest is that I did not find the body of the third uncle.

After about half an hour, we had explored the whole island, and despite the fog, we had a general idea of the situation on the island, and we had made some special discoveries.

It is an island in the middle of a lake made entirely of a gray rock, low on the west side for boats, and a high bulge of the rocks on the east side, forming a small stone mound about 10 meters high, with uneven potholes and many deep fissures, leading to the lake.

Since it is a stone island, it is naturally impossible for vegetation to grow on it, and it is true, we searched around, and we didn't even find half of the weeds, but there is such a luxuriant giant tree growing in the center of the island, which is strange, and our special discovery on this island is also on this giant tree.

From the beginning of discovering the shadow of this giant tree, to observing the shape of the giant tree at close range, to going to the island in person, I never suspected that it was not a tree, until we came to the base of the tree and touched the trunk of the giant tree with our own hands, and we were shocked to find that this was not a tree, but a stone!

To be exact, it is a petrified tree whose texture has turned into stone.

Regarding the petrified tree, when I saw the magnificent Hell Tree under the Yeling Sinkhole, I mistook the Hell Tree for a petrified tree at one point, only to realize later that it was not. What I didn't expect, however, was that I saw a real petrified tree here, and it was so huge, almost like the real thing in the mist, no wonder the canopy of this tree was so huge, but there was not even a single leaf.

Amazed, we brought the discovery back to the ship, and the girls wanted to go up to the island, and I thought that there was no danger on the island anyway, and it would be okay to go up, so I agreed.

At this time, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the rain had completely stopped, but the fog was still thick, and it was not practical to spend the night on the boat, first, there was not enough space in the cabin, and second, we were worried that there was something in the water, so we carried all the necessary luggage to the island, and planned to spend the night on the island.

It's a bit of a risk, after all, the island is so miserable that we can't be sure when that man-eating horror will appear, and if it were attacked at night, it would be a disaster, but I'd rather take those risks than stay on a ship.

After moving the things to the island, we chose a rock crevice on the east side of the island that was sheltered from the wind on three sides as our campsite for the night, which was close to the lake and the terrain was still high, so that if there was a disturbance, we could find it at the first time, and if there was an irresistible danger, we could escape from behind the rock crevice to the shore, and the shore on this side of the island was so high that even if something touched it from the lake, it would not be able to climb such a high shore.

We also drove the boat to the shore of the island on the side of the rock crevice, and anchored against the almost vertical rock wall, which was about ten meters high from the boat to the top of the rock wall, and we fixed the rope to the island shore above the boat, and then we were able to quickly drop to the boat by the rope.

After making sufficient arrangements, the sky had already begun to darken, and since there was no firewood on the stone island, we could not light a campfire to ward off the cold, so we had to take out everything in our backpacks that could keep out the cold, spread it in the rock crevices, and then everyone huddled together to keep warm.

If there is no fire, I can only chew jerky and compressed biscuits for dinner, but in such an environment, I am very satisfied to have these.

After dinner, the Taoist priest got up and told us that he was going to take advantage of the fact that it was not yet completely dark to remove Lao Gou's body. The place where Lao Gou's body hangs is not far from us, in fact, the island itself is not very big, if there is no fog, you can see from one end of the island to the other at a glance.

The girls had been frightened by the corpse stumps on the island when they had just landed on the island, and when it was getting dark, they were even more afraid to go out. But I didn't feel at ease when the Taoist priest went out alone, so I asked the doctor to stay and take care of the girls, and the Taoist priest and I would dispose of the corpses.

Although we had deliberately memorized the location of Lao Gou's corpse before, due to the interference of the fog, we could only follow the general direction and grope little by little, and when we found the corpse, the surroundings had begun to turn gray.

I held the apocalypse in my hand, my eyes stared at the surging fog around me, and I always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in the fog, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and I was a little scared in my heart, so I asked the Taoist priest to hurry up and go back quickly when I was done.

The Taoist priest answered, no longer delayed, patted my shoulder and said with a smile: "Reporter, borrow your shoulder!" ”

Before I could understand what he meant, I saw the creature tap his toes on the ground, leap upward, and when he reached the top of my head, he stepped on my right shoulder.

This foot was extremely strong, the incident happened suddenly, I was not prepared at all, and I was suddenly stepped on by him and stumbled, my feet slipped, and I fell to the ground, and the apocalypse in my hand accidentally took off my hand, and threw it straight into the mist on the side.

At the same time as I fell, I heard an extremely crisp clanging sound above my head, like the sound of gold and iron colliding, and I didn't care about scolding the Taoist priest, so I hurriedly turned over and looked up, only to see that one of the Taoist priest's hands had grabbed the branch of the petrified tree, and Lao Gou was hanging on another branch opposite him.

The Taoist priest is using his three-tailed fish-handled peachwood sword to chop the petrified tree hanging from Lao Gou's corpse on the opposite side, but the Taoist priest obviously underestimated the hardness of the petrified tree, his three-tailed fish-handled peachwood sword is far harder than steel under the blessing of Taoist true qi, but it can only make some jingle crisp sounds when chopped on the branches of the petrified tree, and even the Dao imprints cannot be left.

After cutting for a long time, there was no effect, so the Taoist priest had to turn over and jump up, fall on the petrified branch where the corpse was hanging, exert force from behind the corpse, and push the corpse out of the branch little by little.

Just as the corpse was about to completely break away from the branches, the Taoist priest shouted at me, "Catch it!" ”

I looked at the corpse that had been completely emptied of the body, and said that Lao Tzu would not do it, so I quickly got up and dodged to the side, the branch where Lao Gou's body was hung was about eight meters from the ground, if it fell and fell on my head, I am afraid that I would also be injured.

When the Taoist priest saw my reaction, he was also extremely helpless, so he had to sigh, anyway, everyone is already dead, just fall it!

Lao Gou's corpse finally fell down and fell in front of me, I looked a little worried in my heart, and hurriedly moved away from me. The Taoist priest followed the corpse and also fell, with a solemn face, and made a big salute to the corpse to show respect.

"Immeasurable Tianzun, Brother Dao is easy to go, your unfinished business will be inherited by the poor Dao!"

The Taoist priest recited the Taoist horn, his expression was solemn and sad, and even I was a little dazed, thinking that this hairy Taoist priest had changed his sex. Unfortunately, the grief on his face did not collapse for three seconds, and then turned into a lewd smile, rubbing his hands, first pulling off a blood-colored dragon-shaped pendant from the corpse's neck, and then taking off a string of Bodhi prayer beads and a gentle and delicate wrench on the corpse's right wrist and thumb.

While pulling, he also muttered: "Brother Dao, don't worry, this dragon blood jade pendant poor Dao will inherit it for you, Brother Dao will go well, this Bodhi rosary will be kept by Poor Dao for you, good things, all good things!" Where did this turtle grandson loot so many good things, it's a pity, it's a pity, Dao Ye remembers that there should be a Qingling Demon Mirror and a Heavenly Master Dust, why is it gone? ”

I really don't know what to say now.,Mom-yes.,Feelings are a little bit of friendship in the mouth.,It turns out that he has a relationship with the baby in someone's pocket.,No wonder he's been thinking about this corpse.,I'm sorry.,I must be more guarded against this guy in the future.,I don't want to be picked up by this thief and Taoist priest after death.。

As a witness, I witnessed the heinous banditry of the Taoist priest, and my impression of him has escalated from obscenity to shamelessness.

But fortunately, the Taoist priest still has some conscience, and after stripping off other people's things, he still lit a fire and sent the corpse to the ruins, but in my opinion, this is more like destroying the corpse.

After finishing the work on the corpse, the Taoist priest looked satisfied, and his mouth was a little unclosed with a smile, I glared at him, and I didn't bother to talk to him, turned around and walked in the direction where the apocalypse fell just now.

The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment and shouted at me: "Reporter, you have gone wrong, this is the direction to go back!" ”

"Back to your size, Lao Tzu's sword has fallen, come and help find it!"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, isn't it, the apocalypse has fallen? Damn, that's a hundred times more valuable than my things combined, look for it quickly, if you really lose it, you'll lose a lot of money! ”

The Taoist priest was even more excited than me, and he was busy plunging into the mist to help find it. It was already completely dark and foggy, and it was difficult to find something in such an environment, but luckily the sword was not a small thing, and the burning corpse on the side gave us some faint light.

By the light of the fire, we groped all the way, and gradually I began to feel that something was wrong, the fall just now was not very serious, and the weight of the apocalypse was not light, it was impossible to fall so far, but we had searched the nearby ten meters of the place, and still found nothing, which was too strange

Could it be that the apocalypse has long wings and flies, or is it that the island has a mouth and swallows the apocalypse?

I'm a little anxious, the Taoist priest is more anxious than me, and he counted down vigorously, saying Why are you so careless, it's the six artifacts of the Daomen, how can you lose it so hastily? What a loser.

I don't feel well, if it weren't for the greed of the Taoist priest, how could I have followed him here, and now he still complains about me. Just as I was about to scold back, suddenly, I sensed a familiar call not far away.

Almost instinctively, I ran in the direction of the call, feeling the darkness, regardless of the unknown things under my feet, the Taoist priest chased after me and shouted, thinking that something had happened to me, until I came to a huge rock half a man high, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the apocalypse was actually inserted into this huge rock, and half of the sword body was submerged in the stone.

I was a little stunned when I saw this scene, from the place where I fell to this, it would take about twenty meters to say the least, the apocalypse actually flew here, and the sword body was embedded with so many stones, which was too incredible.

Soon, the Taoist priest also rushed over, and was also taken aback when he saw this scene, and asked me what was going on?

My heart says you ask me, and I ask who goes? So he ignored him, reached out and drew his sword, and at this moment, a magical scene happened.
