Chapter 50: The Mutated Peach Tree
The shadow in front of us is extremely hideous, and the sun is behind us, but the shadow appears in front of us, just like there is a sun on the other side of the cave, which looks very weird.
Xiao Qiang's face was pale, and his whole body began to tremble constantly: "It's here, it's this, it's here." ”
I know that Xiao Qiang has been here before, and he is the only person in the expedition team who has gone out, so he must know what is going on in front of him: "Captain Xiao, what's going on in front of you?" ”
"The blood tree is like a rock, and the branches are ghosts, this is the last pass to the Origin Blood Spring, but it is also the most dangerous place."
The Taoist priest held the immortal scripture in one hand and the yin-yang ruler in the other, and walked in the front: "What can be more powerful than the ovary immortal scripture, I want to take a good look." ”
The huge cave passed a corner, and the height of the entire cave was almost doubled, and a large tree with intertwined roots was in the middle, and the thickness of nearly ten meters seemed to have grown for thousands of years.
The most bizarre thing is that the tree does not have a single leaf, and the one-meter-high trunk is full of branches, like a layer of metal scales, and the branches are sticking out hideously, as if there are countless claws open, waiting for the prey to be sent to the door.
The sound of ticking and ticking kept ringing, and the blood continued to seep out of the bark, dripping on the ground and picking up high blood flowers, filled with the smell of fish, just like real blood.
My eyes shrank together as I followed the branches upwards, because at the very top of the branches, I saw several distorted black shadows, many sharp branches inserted in the body of the black shadows, the black shadows were dripping blood, those black shadows had no faces, but I could distinguish them as three men and one woman, and they were our shadows.
"Why is our shadow here?"
I finally understood why I always felt that the blood was draining, it turned out that our shadow was caught, and it was pierced and bloodied by this strange branch of the blood tree, I really wanted to scold, what kind of tree is this, how can I take the shadow away.
"The shadow is a symbol of the physical body, this tree hurts our physical body through the shadow, and now we have no way out, if we don't rush over, sooner or later we will run out of blood and die." Xiao Qiang's voice trembled, and the military thorn trembled in his hand for the first time, which showed how afraid he was of this blood tree.
The Taoist priest looked at the immortal scripture in his hand, and then his face became heavy: "This is the alienated Kang Bo Peach Tree, originally the Kang Bo Peach Tree is a sacred artifact of the Immortal Dao, the legend can make people reshape the body, grow in the head of the dragon vein and survive on the phoenix spring, but now the dragon vein blocks the phoenix spring to turn blood, this Kang Bo peach tree not only can not reshape the body but will take people's lives." ”
The eyes of the fallen Taoist priest were filled with deep regret, but I snorted coldly in the bottom of my heart, this fallen Taoist priest really had something to hide from me, he knew the ancient seal characters on the immortal scripture but had to say that he would bring it back to the master for translation, it seems that there is no plan to share it with me at all, but now is the danger moment, I can only endure this breath, as for what Kang Bo peach tree, I have never heard of it at all.
"Do you know how to rush through." Through the dense branches, I can vaguely see that there is a blood spring behind the tree, that must be the origin blood spring that Xiao Qiang said, as long as I take a bath in the origin blood spring, I will definitely be able to get rid of the unjust soul on my body and break the curse of seven days.
The Taoist priest sighed, "I can only break through, but although this Kang Bo Peach Tree has mutated, it has an incomparably powerful deterrent power against ghosts, which is more powerful than the Ten Thousand Year Peach Tree, it seems that what the master said is true, there are really sacrificial materials here." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, save our shadows first, if the blood continues to flow, we will have to wait for death."
Xiao Qiang stopped me, "You don't need to save the shadow, we can't go up at all if it's so high, as long as we rush over and drill into the Origin Blood Spring, we can leave here, and the shadow can get out of the control of this blood tree." ”
"Okay, how do you say rush over." Compared with the down-and-down Taoist, Xiao Qiang seems to be helping me all the way, maybe I'm wrong to blame Xiao Qiang, the person who puts something in the sauce beef should be the down-down Taoist, because the down-to-earth Taoist needs me to go into the Forbidden Soul Valley to get the power of double flowers to get the immortal scriptures, in my heart Xiao Qiang is much more credible than the down-down Taoist.
Xiao Qiang smiled bitterly: "How else can you rush?" It's just to run in one direction, but I already said when I came, we may not all be able to go back, if anyone is caught by the blood tree, but they must not be saved, and even if they delay for even a second, they will definitely die. ”
Liu Qianying shuddered for no reason, she is a girl, and now she has the weakest physique, if no one helps, she will probably die here, I patted Liu Qianying's arm: "It's okay, there is me." ”
"Qin Ling, don't be rash," Xiao Qiang said in a serious voice, "Do you know how many people we came together last time?" Thirty-four people, in the end, I was the only one who rushed over, and it was He Tianyu who gave up his life to push me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape. ”
I gasped, this is only ten meters away, thirty-four people have almost been killed, is this blood tree really so powerful?
Xiao Qiang waved his hand and walked in the front, and the Taoist priest immediately ranked second, everyone knows that the more in the end, the greater the danger, and it is likely that even his life will be broken after the break, at this time, I also see the selfishness of the Taoist priest, and I am more vigilant against the guy.
Liu Qianying was a little overwhelmed, and I pushed him to the front, "Don't worry, I won't let you have an accident." ”
"I'm the one who bothered you, I shouldn't have come." Liu Qianying's words were full of self-blame and regret, but I smiled and said: "If it doesn't work, we'll die together, isn't this what you want?" ”
Liu Qianying was amused by my joke, but her eyes were full of firmness and joy, why is this little goblin so infatuated with me, I touched my face, a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Qiang roared and rushed towards a place with fewer branches, and at this time, the entire blood tree began to shake violently, and the thick trunk actually appeared with a huge human face, a distorted face and empty eyes, a huge mouth with a long drawn, a hideous strange smile, and around the giant face, many small faces also appeared, each of which let out a sharp laugh, making the whole cave seem to shake.
The branches made a clicking sound of joints, which looked like real human hands twisted down, and the tips shimmered with metal, looking like the nails of a terrible ghost.
