Chapter 90: Before Death
The moment I flew out, I immediately understood what was happening, it turned out that when I confronted the living corpse, the army of dead corpses on the main trunk had already come up, and my attention was all attracted by the living corpses, and I didn't even notice it for a while, and I suddenly fell on the road, and was attacked by a dead corpse that climbed on the branch first.
Before I could even shout the swear words, the person had already flown out of the branches, his body was empty, and he suddenly fell down, and his heart was cold.
The moment I found myself falling, my mind went blank, and there was only one thought in my mind, it was over, I was dead. Immediately afterwards, it seemed that the person who fell into the water was doing the last dying struggle, I scratched desperately, and I didn't know whether it was the blessing of God or the blessing of the Buddha, under the branch, a unique twig grew obliquely to the lower left, and I grabbed it all the time, and really let me grab this life-saving straw.
Suddenly, my fingers almost snapped, but this gave me hope to live, I clung to the branch and did not relax, and the whole person hung under the huge branch above my head, leaving only one hand to support it.
"Reporter!" The Taoist priest's somewhat sad voice sounded above my head, this guy must have seen me fall down, thinking that I was dead, I quickly responded: "I'm not dead, under the branches, but if you don't save me up, I will really go to see your immeasurable Tianzun, and then Lao Tzu will say bad things about you in front of him, and repeat all the words you scolded his old man in private, so that you will never become an immortal." ”
The above did not respond immediately, and after waiting for two or three seconds, the Taoist priest's shout was heard: "Holy shit, you guy is too unsophisticated, the situation above is not good, the Taoist master can't spare his hand, you hold on for a while!" ”
I was in a hurry, but I also knew that the situation above was very bad, from here I could see that the main trunk had been completely covered with dead corpses, and the corpses of locusts were swarming towards the branches above my head, and from time to time there were skeletons falling from my side, all of which were beaten down by Taoist priests and the third child. If there is a place to stay, I will have a dead end here, because the dead corpses in the trees can only climb up, and once they face down, they will fall straight down, so this place is safe.
"Hurry up, Lao Tzu won't last long." I grabbed the other hand with difficulty, and the two hands shared the weight of the body together, and suddenly it was a lot easier, but this was a symptom but not a cure, I always had the strength to exhaust, and the Taoist priest's situation will only get worse and worse, because the corpses pouring into the branches will only increase, and the Taoist priest will only take the opportunity to go to the plank road, so he can only stay at the junction of the branches and the trunk, and prevent the corpses from surging up the branches.
In either case, the Taoist priest will not be able to withdraw to rescue me in a short period of time, and from the perspective of my current position, it will definitely be enough to pull me up from above, and the Taoist priest has no chance at all!
On the contrary, I heard the screams of the Taoist priest and the barking of the third child from the branches, and the original location of the corpses also went a lot deeper into the branches, obviously, they had been forced to retreat into the edge of the branches.
Soon, the Taoist priest's scream turned into a roar, my heart trembled, and the Taoist priest was born and died several times, his temper I know very well, every time he is forced into a desperate situation, this guy will burst out of a ruthless force, that is a state of not wanting to die, completely giving up everything to fight for the last ray of life, is a way to fight for life after death.
If it is not an absolute desperate situation, the Taoist priest will not be like this, and it seems that the situation on the branches has reached the point where it is impossible to maneuver.
I sighed, knowing that I was dead, because my hands could no longer grasp the branches.
Sure enough, after waiting for another two minutes, I still didn't wait for the Taoist, I lamented in my heart, and then shouted: "Taoist, you hurry up, leave me alone, the plank road is on the side, remember to find Sister Bailing after you go out, take the third child back, I am very happy to meet you as a friend......"
I didn't know what to say anymore, and my hand finally couldn't hold on and slipped. More than once, I have thought about what people would have thought in the short period of time before they died, whether they were curious about what the world would be like after death, or whether they would have reminisced about the short life they had passed like a movie, or what kind of pain they would have felt when they lost their breath.
There is no answer, because I am very young, I still have a long way to go, and I still have a lot of time to squander, but death is to die, I try not to breathe, until the limit I experience the pain of suffocation, suddenly I have a strong fear and awe of death, and then I become more aware of the preciousness of life, and cherish the rest of the time more and more, but even with the awe of death, I still can't understand what death is, until this moment.
I never imagined that I would be in such a state in the face of imminent death, there was no fear, no regret, only a peace that transcended everything, as if everything in front of me had no meaning to me, because I was about to leave this world, the hell tree, the army of bones, the leeches, and so on, all these things that made me tremble and make me afraid, after death, what were they?
My heart is very peaceful, just calmly welcome the next second of death, countless corpse cocoons, corpse rain and the majestic hell tree flashed in front of my eyes, quickly far away, the calm heart lake suddenly rose a kind of extreme unwillingness and anger, why, why should I die here, I am still so young, I still have so many relatives and friends who have not said goodbye, I have not been in love......
The next moment, this unwilling anger has reached the point of uncontrollable, I can't just die, can't, can'......
I stopped, I don't know how I stopped, the anger of that moment made me lose my mind, and when I came to my senses, I felt like centuries had passed. I dragged the fibrous roots of the Hell Tree in my hands, and they were knotted and dead knots, allowing me to stop in the air. I could feel them revived, but instead of catching me, they were my lifesaver, they seemed to be trembling, I didn't know what they were afraid of, it didn't matter to me right now, I was alive, it was more important than anything else.
But when I looked down, the joy of rebirth was suddenly filled with fear, under the hell tree, the gray mist had risen to a height of more than ten meters, and all the dead bodies that touched the mist fell one after another, as if they had been deprived of their lives, but at this moment there was a behemoth slowly rising up in the mist.
