I couldn't believe my eyes, but what I saw was so real, and I was sure that the majestic and elegant ice blue tree in front of me was the terrible wax corpse tree back then.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through my mind, and fragments of images sealed in my memory flashed through my brain like a movie, the wax corpse tree, the corpse cocoon, and the countless hanging roots of the wax corpse tree like poisonous snakes.

More than ten years have passed, and the wax corpse tree does not look much different, except that the dried corpse wrapped in a blue wax cocoon has become more decaying and looks more hideous.

At this time, in addition to shock, I only had the thought of running away, but my body was not under my control at all. The four skeletons that held me had disappeared for some time, but the tentacles that were holding my belt still didn't let go.

I don't have much memory of the corpse tree, only the only one in my childhood, but the horror of the corpse tree is a nightmare in my memory, when I saw the dried corpses wrapped in wax cocoons on the wax corpse tree come back to life, the impact of that picture is definitely not something words can describe. Although all the wax cocoons are still at this point, who can guarantee that these cocoons will not break in the next second?

I was terrified of the huge and towering wax corpse tree in front of me, and I was constantly thinking about how to escape from this place, but the hanging tentacles wrapped around my belt moved, dragging me back towards the wax corpse tree quickly.

This situation is somewhat similar to when I encountered the vamphimore vine in the hanging corpse forest of Aji Village, when I was also wrapped in the fibrous roots of the vamphivorous vine and pulled up the tree, but this time the situation was more complicated than the time in Aji Village. Last time it was daytime, although the ghost vine looked terrifying, but at least it was an ordinary vine, where would it be the same as the demonic corpse tree in front of him.

The moment I was dragged up, my heart was cold, but I couldn't move, I didn't even have a chance to resist.

In this way, I was dragged to a giant tree about thirty meters above the ground and hung up, just like the time I was hung by the vamphimore vine, the only difference was that the vamphivorous vine did not deprive me of my mobility.

Being suspended in the air more than 30 meters above the ground naturally does not feel good, and besides, outside of me, there are countless wax cocoons that are more than ice blue on the branches that grow around, and there is a corpse in each wax cocoon.

I took a quick look and found that not all of these wax cocoons were wrapped in human corpses, but two or three meters to my right, a cocoon wrapped in a goat hung on a branch that looked like black iron. The carcass of the sheep in the cocoon had dried up, but the dried eyes could still be seen in one of the sheep's eyes. Because of the shriveled and shrunken eyes, there is a large part of the dark hollowness in the eyes of the two sheep, and when combined, at first glance it always gives people a chilling feeling, as if the contents of this cocoon are staring at you with a very evil eye.

I knew that this was just an illusion caused by the angle and light, but I still subconsciously twisted my body and moved for a long time before slowing down a direction, but the situation was not much better, because there was also a wax cocoon hanging in the direction of the re-change, and it was only less than a meter away from me, and at such a distance, I could even smell the smell of rotting corpses coming from the wax cocoon.

Holding back the nausea, I didn't want to look at the corpse in the wax cocoon, but face to face, my eyes still involuntarily swept to the situation inside the cocoon, and I was stunned all of a sudden, thinking that I had seen it wrong.

I hurriedly closed my eyes, praying in my heart that I must have seen the flowers just now, and when I opened my eyes and looked again, my heart was completely cold.

In that wax cocoon was a human corpse, and that person was none other than the Taoist priest who was with me not long ago!

I couldn't believe my eyes, but the facts in front of me forced me to believe it. Although the person in this wax cocoon also has a certain degree of dry rot, and the water has been almost lost, but the facial features are extremely well preserved, and they are exactly the same as the Taoist priests I know, and even the clothes they wear are exactly the same!

What the fuck is going on? How long has it been since they were separated, how could this be, such a powerful Taoist priest died like this? If he dies, what about Sister Bailing?

As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, the afterglow of my eyes inadvertently swept over a cocoon beside the Taoist priest, and my body trembled violently, as if my heart had been struck by a thunderbolt, and it was completely cold.

The small cocoon, the dark blue cocoon four or five meters away next to the Taoist priest, was wrapped in layers of blue wax like an onion, and it was an extremely familiar face, the white color was still the same, but it had lost all its vitality, even if it was far away, it could still be seen that the face had shriveled.

If the corpses of Daoist and Sister Bailing had stripped me of the last trace of hope in my heart, then the picture I saw at this time completely threw me into an endless abyss hell. I saw a face that I didn't believe would be here, it was my grandmother, my grandmother who had been missing for two days.

How so? How the hell is this, what the hell did they encounter? I couldn't hold back the anger in my heart anymore, or rather fear and despair, and I roared: "Dog, who, who did it, someone came out and killed Lao Tzu too, come out!" ”

I shouted out with almost all my strength, and the hysterical sound kept echoing in the corpse-strewn forest around me, and it even echoed for a long time.

I don't know how long I shouted, and it wasn't until I could no longer shout that the desperate cries stopped echoing. I gave up the struggle in despair, and let the corpse tree hang me, I am not a strong person, the Taoist priest is dead, Sister Bailing is dead, grandma is also dead, what is the meaning of my life, it is better to go with them, maybe there is a companion on the Huangquan Road.

Thinking about it, the despair and fear just now have dissipated a lot, and reason gradually occupies my thinking, and then I suddenly realize that something is wrong, and I always feel that something makes me care very much, but I can't grasp the key when I think about it carefully.

Just when I was in great doubt, my eyes swept to the wax cocoon in front of me again, and suddenly I understood what the key was that I couldn't grasp just now. Damn, Sister Bailing, a Taoist priest, was with me a few hours ago, even if they were killed after we were separated and got here by this weird wax corpse tree, it would not have become like this!

The appearance of the Taoist priest in the wax cocoon in front of him, to say the least, has been dead for more than half a year, otherwise he will definitely not be able to corrupt into such a ghost, doesn't this mean that the Taoist priest died half a year ago?

This is obviously impossible, and I am just a Taoist priest I just met more than a month ago. Even if this wax corpse tree could absorb the nutrients of the corpse and quickly dehydrate and dry the corpse, it would not be possible to suck them all dry in such a short time! And there is something wrong with the Taoist priest in this wax cocoon, although the clothes and appearance are exactly the same as the Taoist priest, but the Taoist bun that is pulled up at the end will definitely not be the Taoist priest's. When I first met the Taoist, this guy was indeed holding a Taoist bun, but when he was in Fengyang, the ghost school was born and caused a thunderstorm, and the Taoist priest was also chopped off, and the bun at one end was split into an explosive head, and later when he was at Lin Dongyang's house, he cut his hair, and he was an inch at this time, but the Taoist priest in the wax cocoon was obviously still the same as when I first met him, holding a very classical Taoist bun.

After thinking about this key moment, I knew that this was definitely not a Taoist priest, this was probably an illusion, an illusion made up by something based on the memory fragments in my mind, but the Taoist priest was too impressed by me at the first time, so the Taoist priest who appeared at this time would be the image I first met him.

Since the Taoist priest is not a real Taoist priest, then Sister Bailing and Grandma must also be fake. Suddenly, the depressed mood was relaxed, but when I thought about it, what is there to be happy about, since these are all fake, what is the purpose of this weird wax corpse tree to hang me here? Do you want to make illusions for Mao to deceive me?

I became alarmed, and at that moment, I felt as if something was running down my tangled foot. Shocked, I hurriedly looked up to see that the root of the tentacle tree that was entwining my foot was slowly secreting a disgusting oily mucus that was flowing down my foot.

Seeing this scene, I instantly understood how the wax cocoons around me came from.

In the rainforests of South America, there are many different species of man-eating flowers, they can secrete a special smell to attract insects and even some small animals to approach, and when they burrow into the stretched buds, they will immediately close, and then the buds endocrine digestive enzymes, digest the animals trapped in them, so as to absorb their nutrients.

These fibrous roots on the wax corpse tree are similar to the buds used by the cannibal flower to devour life, the difference is that the fibrous roots of the wax corpse tree can identify the creatures with the breath of life within a certain range, and without waiting for it to get close, these fibrous roots will take the initiative to attack according to the breath of life they feel, and forcibly drag it back to the wax corpse tree, and the root tentacles can secrete this wax-like thing, thus trapping the prey, so that the entire wax corpse tree can slowly absorb the flesh and blood essence of the prey, thereby providing nutrients for it, That's why there are so many rotting corpses on this wax corpse tree.

If this is really the case, then it is really understandable that Yeling is regarded as a forbidden place by the mountain people within a radius of hundreds of miles, who would have thought that there would be such a terrible ogre tree in this forest? This is even more damn terrible than the devil!

I thought to myself, why do these weird things like to hang upside down when they catch prey?
