Chapter 65: The Underground Forest

After hanging on the chain for more than half an hour, when my feet touched the ground, I suddenly felt a sense of groundedness in my heart.

From going down the sinkhole last night, until now, I finally came to the bottom of the mysterious sinkhole. I looked at the time, and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and even if I was outside, it would be dark in half an hour at most.

It's really not easy to think about this way, looking up, I can only see the towering giant trees reaching into the sky, if it weren't for the blue fluorescence filling the sinkhole, shining out of the blue and black rock walls, I even suspect that this hell tree supports the sky, is the only pillar of heaven and earth.

I can't describe how I feel at the moment, it's strange, it's shocking, it's terrifying, but it's more curious about all the unknowns below. I looked around me, and although I knew that there was a huge underground forest underneath me when I was on the chain, I still felt a wave of amazement when I was really in this huge underground world, and this kind of situation, which only appeared in dreams, actually appeared in reality, and at this moment.

As I had guessed above, the Helltree was so thick at its roots that it would take a dozen adults to hug it, and it was even bigger than some medium-sized dwellings. The area covered by the sinkhole is all occupied by the Hell Tree, and around the Hell Tree grows a circle of trees similar to the Hell Tree, with many strange fibrous roots and a lot of blue waxy secretions, but not as thick as the central Hell Tree.

For the sake of description, I'll call these trees the Hell Subtree. There are about thirty Hell sub-trees growing around the Hell Tree, and the largest of them has a trunk that is only half a meter thick, which is not at the same level as the Hell Tree in the center, but the half-meter thick tree is already amazing on the outside.

The tallest of these Hell Trees is more than 20 meters taller, and there are also many fruit-like blue corpse cocoons hanging on them, although there are not many of them, but they also make people feel a little creepy. On the periphery of the Hell Tree were the black-crowned trees I saw above the chains, and there were quite a few of them, and the entire underground space was covered with these black-crowned trees, which was exactly the same as what I saw in my dream, except that I didn't see the vastness of this space in my dream.

Due to the distance, and the place where there is a light source in this underground space is only near the sinkhole, the glow of the Hell Tree is blue, the light is not strong, and it can only illuminate a small part of the area, and the reason why I can see this space on the chain is endless, largely because of the Hell Tree, which is condescending, but even so, I can only see a black outline.

The distance is far away, and there is no light, and I don't dare to trespass in this unknown place, so I don't bother to pay attention to it, but the sky of this space makes me a little surprised. I found that the empty place under the stone path was thirty meters above, and I climbed through the iron chain, and knew that this distance was longer than that, that is, the sky dome of this space was actually a huge rock wall above, and the height was between thirty and forty meters.

This distance is not very high, but because there is basically no light source below, except for the area around the Hell Tree that can barely illuminate the dome, the rest of the area is a deep darkness, and when you look up from below, it looks like a night sky with no starlight at all, if you don't know the situation of this place in advance, I am afraid that it is really the real sky.

I was a little puzzled, with such a huge space under the sinkhole, how did the dome above withstand the huge pressure on the ground? There was also the fluorescent illumination of the Hell Tree, and I saw that the stone of the dome was densely packed with holes of different sizes, as if they had been eaten by insects, and it looked very terrifying.

What really cares me is the extent of the sinkhole, which I am familiar with, not just because I dreamed it last night, but because I have been here before.

Looking at the huge ancient tree full of corpse cocoons in front of me, I couldn't help but think of the picture of the resurrection of the corpse cocoons I had seen, and I felt a little cold in my body.

My feet were on the ground, it was warm to the touch, and the ground under the sinkhole was covered with a thick layer of wax, and I saw that the main trunk of the Hell Tree was full of traces of wax, and I knew that the wax on the ground should be secreted by the trunk, but I didn't know what the wax was.

The scene in front of me is also dreamy, the reality of the situation, the fragments of memory, and the details of the dream slowly coincide, I feel that I am also switching back and forth between dream and reality, and my mind also has a very unreal feeling.

I was physically and mentally exhausted, and I couldn't care if there was any danger in this place, so I found a place where I thought it was safe and sat down.

It wasn't until this moment that I really had time to clean the wounds on my body. Since I entered the mountain yesterday, I have too many scars on my body to count, the drag of the big-headed monster, the scratches when I slipped down the sinkhole, the fall into the bone cave... I don't really know how I survived.

Fortunately, most of the skin injuries and internal injuries have healed automatically on the way, I also had this situation when I was in Fengyang, when I was seriously injured by the corpse in the underground cave group of Yushugou, and all the injuries were healed after waking up, and then I listened to the story of my grandparents, I knew that my grandfather had also had this situation.

However, the injury on my shoulder was made just now, and it was relatively serious, at this time I couldn't move my entire right hand, even if I wanted to act immediately to find the underworld, it was weak, it was better to rest and recover some physical strength.

There are Hell sub trees all around, and I was worried that I would be swept up if I got too close, so I leaned against the iron chain, which went straight down the wall of the sinkhole, and the distance from the Hell Tree and the Hell Sub Tree was just right, so it was best to rest here, and I could climb the chain to escape in case of any situation.

After resting for a while, a tidal wave of tiredness came up, and my eyelids were as heavy as lead.

I rubbed my face, knowing that I couldn't sleep in this place, and even if I rested, I could only relax. I opened my backpack and took out some dry food to eat, drank some water, felt better in my spirits, and began to wonder what to do next.

First of all, I need to clarify the purpose of my down, at first I went down to the sinkhole only because of those mysterious blue lights, and then because of the curse I couldn't turn back, and the main goal of my descent to the bottom of the pit was the underworld fetus mentioned in Zhang Tianxing's message.

Only by finding the Soul Fetus Suppression Curse can I climb back to the stone path, and then leave the sinkhole along the stone path, and then find a way to get out of Yeling, and the first thing to find in the search for the Soul Fetus is the mark left by Zhang Tianxing.
