Chapter 53: Trees Are Alive

When the backpack entered Yeling, it was scratched by something in the fog, and I tied it with a rope, but the rope that tied the backpack only used a little bit, and I cut it directly.

I don't know how deep the sinkhole is, but since I can see the glowing blue light at the bottom of the sinkhole on it, I don't think it will be too deep, and the rope of more than 200 meters should be enough.

Because the rope is very thin, if you grab it directly with your hands for a long time, it will inevitably be strangled, and it is not easy to use force, it is easy to go down, and it will be very troublesome when you come up. So I directly cut off two rope loops a few times to make a rope sleeve, put it into the rope, and tie the whole rope into a slipknot that can slide at the position of the rope sleeve, so that I can use the rope sleeve to slide down slowly in the process of landing, even if I am physically exhausted, I can stop the rope sleeve at any time by controlling the slipknot and continue to go down.

I tried it and it worked well, so I didn't delay any longer. The edge of the sinkhole was full of smooth rocks, and there was no place for ropes, and although I was reluctant to do so, I still had to go into the forest again.

I don't know if it's because of the psychological effect, when I enter the forest again, I always feel that the yin wind is drilling into my body one after another, and there is a coldness that seeps into my soul.

I shuddered, knowing that this was not the place to stay for long, and hurriedly tied the rope to the trunk of the outermost tree, which was the thickness of an adult's hug.

It's a matter of my own life, I deliberately tied the dead knot when I tied the knot, and after tying it, I pulled it hard, and it felt stable enough, so I was ready to leave.

But what I didn't expect was that when I turned around, there was no road behind me, and when I came in, there were five or six more big trees the size of buckets.

Now I was really dumbfounded, I thought I was dazzled, and hurriedly rubbed my eyes, but the situation still hasn't changed, am I misremembering the direction?

Although I knew that this was impossible, I still looked around the tree, and my heart suddenly chuckled, one end of the rope was tied to the tree, and the other end was at the edge of the sinkhole.

Yeling is mysterious, but in the blink of an eye, it is impossible for a good road to disappear out of thin air, is this another illusion?

I suddenly remembered the weird nightmare and big-headed monster just now, when the Taoist priest told me, but it is very difficult for any spirit body to directly cause damage to people, because the spirit body has no substance, unless it is particularly powerful and evil, so the general way for spirits to attack people is to create illusions, or interfere with people's senses, and step by step lead people to harm themselves.

When I first found the big-headed monster, I couldn't catch it, and I couldn't even see it with my eyes, and then I used my fingertip blood to make it manifest, which shows that the big-headed monster is a spirit, and it can scratch my face, obviously it is the kind of powerful evil spirit that the Taoist priest said. I witnessed the disappearance of the big-headed monster just now, but the huge Yeling, who can guarantee that there is only one big-headed monster, maybe the scene I see now is another big-headed monster or the illusion created by the rest of the evil creatures in Yeling.

Thinking of this, my heart suddenly relaxed, if it is really an illusion, it will be easier to do, the things you see with your eyes may be fake, and the things you touch in your hands can't be fake, right? Right now one end of the rope is in my hand, and I just need to ignore what my eyes see and pull the rope out.

But when my head hit the trunk of a tree full of rough old skin, I knew that I had guessed wrong, it didn't seem to be a hallucination, if it was, my head couldn't hurt like this, and there was a tree in front of the rope blocking the way.

Holy, what's going on? What the hell?

I touched the tree in front of me and examined it carefully, and found that it was a real tree, definitely not a hallucination. And when I saw a cut in the branch of this tree that was still oozing red liquid, I was completely stunned, and the horror in my heart was completely indescribable.

This is obviously the tree I cut off to make a hook just now, but how did that tree end up in this place? I remember very well that this tree was four or five meters to the right of my current position, right, could it have long legs?

I double-checked it again, and yes, this is the tree, and I still remember the face on the trunk, because this face is a little special, and it feels very similar to the face of Yang Bald, the deputy editor of the newspaper, and it is very obscene.

Just when my heart was shocked and my mind was in a mess and I didn't know what to do, I suddenly noticed that the obscene face on the tree trunk seemed to move.

I was startled and hurriedly stepped back a bit, but what I didn't expect was that I only took five or six steps back, and suddenly my body hit something. I turned my head in a hurry and realized that I had hit the same tree, and the same tree I had tied the rope to.

Now I was really stunned, just now I walked out of the absolute more than five meters, that is to say, the tree tied to the rope is at least six meters away from the tree blocking the way out, and now I just stepped back less than three meters, it stands to reason that the back should be empty, how could I hit the tree that tied the rope?

Could it be that these trees really have legs and can't move?

This thought sent chills to my whole body, and at this moment, I saw the face of the person on the trunk of the tree move again, not the tree whose branches I had cut, but the one I tied the rope, because the knot of the rope was tied to the nose of the face, so when the face moved just now, there was an obvious reference, and the face moved very strangely, it felt like the hideous face of a person who was about to suffocate frantically struggling to breathe oxygen.

My mind went blank, I couldn't believe my eyes, damn it, this tree is really alive!

While I was stunned, the tree from which I had cut off a branch came closer to me, and the two trees sandwiched me in between, and there was only less than three meters left. And I finally saw how these trees moved, oh my God, the exposed roots of these trees were constantly moving forward like countless legs, and the whole tree was constantly moving with the movement of these fibrous roots, and it looked like there was no taproot in the soil!

The two trees sandwiched me in the middle, but the rest of the trees at the ends showed no signs of moving, and the two trees were about to huddle together, and if I didn't run, I would have to be squeezed into meatloaf.

Without hesitation, I rolled out to the side, temporarily freeing myself from the squeeze of the two trees, but at this time the movement of the two trees was different from the previous sneak, and now they were completely running wildly, extremely fast and extremely flexible.

I didn't want to catch my breath for a moment, the two trees had already turned and chased after me, and I was horrified, and I ran away, consciously circling the rest of the stationary trees, hoping that these trees would be able to block the two strange trees.

This idea is still too naïve, or the weirdness of those strange trees is far beyond my imagination, I saw that the trees blocking the way all automatically got out of the way before and after the two trees approached, as if these two strange trees were the overlords of all the trees here, and no one dared to stop them.

I was secretly bitter in my heart, and I quickly thought of a way out of danger, but suddenly I tripped over something under my feet, and suddenly lost my balance and fell to the ground. Almost at the same time, something was entangled in my feet, and I hurried to look at them, and found that they were the fibrous roots of two strange trees, and their roots could extend freely in addition to running.

Now I was really desperate, and in an instant, I remembered the wax corpse tree I dreamed of in my nightmare, and I thought that I had that dream not without purpose, but a portent, because at this moment I was indeed entangled in the roots of the strange tree.

The thought in my mind was only a flash, and before I could resist, the roots of the tree that wrapped my feet had already shrunk back, and I was naturally brought back, and my heart suddenly cried bitterly.

When the roots swept me back, they only entangled me in the many fibrous roots, restricting my movements. After locking me up, the tree began to move back, back to where it had been, and stood still.
