The smell was nasty and disgusting, and Lu Shui wrinkled Xiumei, this stench was nothing else, it was the smell of corpses.

There was a burst of corpse stench from the big tree not far away, which was really strange, and following the smell of corpses, the two walked in front of the tree, and the stench became even heavier.

The light swept by, and Zhao Ruozhi saw that there was a hole next to the tree, and the stench emanated from that hole.

It's normal to have a hole in the ground, but a hole with the smell of corpses is not unusual. Zhao Ruozhi pinched his nose and walked to the edge of the hole, slowly stretched out his head to look down, there were steps to go down.

Lu Shui was about to go down as soon as she walked, but Zhao Ruozhi stopped her and said, "Wait, we don't know what the situation is down here, wouldn't it be too reckless to go down rashly?" Lu Shui looked at each other, which meant that I had already decided.

"Okay, okay, wait a minute." Zhao Ruozhi said helplessly, he took out a towel, the towel was quite clean, and he said to Lu Shuiyi: "Miss Lu borrowed your knife to use it." Lu Shui glanced at the towel, and took out the saber without saying anything, the smell at this time was really unpleasant, she slipped on the edge of the towel, and the towel instantly cracked, Zhao Ruozhi tore it hard, and then handed her half of it.

Lu Shuiyi took the towel, hesitated for a moment, and then walked down.

Each staircase is just enough to accommodate one foot, tilting downward, and the two of them walked through seven or eight steps to the bottom, which is not very deep, Zhao Ruozhi held the wolf tooth lamp, and was stunned for a moment.

As far as the light could see, there were all tree roots, and there were many small snakes crawling on the roots, most of which were intertwined with each other, and only a small part of the tree could be footed.

The roots of the tree are covered with small bags, many young snakes have climbed into those small bags, those small bags are very similar to flytraps, after the small snakes climbed in, it didn't take long for those small bags to wrap the small snakes tightly, and the small snakes that reacted began to struggle inside, but it was to no avail.

There were patches of sarcomas growing inside the open packet, which seemed to show signs of decay.

Zhao Ruozhi was stunned, there were such plants in the world, and thought, "Could these be the roots of those trees above?" ”

Immediately afterwards, liquid leached from the roots of the tree, and countless young snakes climbed up to the roots of the tree regardless of life or death, and it seemed that the sarcoma from these roots gave off the smell to lure the young snakes to come, and then they were able to absorb the young snakes.

Countless young snakes were wrapped, and then countless young snakes climbed up, scrambling to devour those sarcomas, and the busy little snakes and tree roots completely ignored the existence of Zhao Ruozhi and Lu Shuiyi.

Zhao Ruozhi's back was cold, and he said carefully: "These snakes should be the little snakes that hatched from those snake eggs, I didn't expect them to come here, what kind of tree is this, they actually make a living by preying on small snakes." ”

Obviously, Lu Shuiyi's expression told Zhao Ruozhi that she didn't know anything either, Zhao Ruozhi suddenly thought of something, and he said, "Could it be that these trees start to spit out cloud qi after digesting the little snake?" Will those clouds be poisonous? ”

Lu Shuiyi, who frowned, also thought of this, and at present, the two of them showed no signs of poisoning. An unknown liquid leached out of the roots of the tree, and when Lu Shui touched the roots, they were sticky and slippery, a bit like oil.

Zhao Ruozhi also touched the liquid on the root of the tree, and then he pointed to the nose of the house and sniffed it gently, but there was a corpse smell everywhere, and he couldn't smell it at all.

Lu Shui slashed lightly at the root of the tree with her saber, and more liquid flowed out, she smiled coldly and said, "You go out first." ”

The inexplicable sentence made Zhao Ruozhi confused, but he didn't quit at the moment, and there was no other place to settle here, he turned his head and climbed the stairs, he felt that he was going to suffocate, even if he was covering the towel, the smell of corpses made him sick.

Soon, Lu Shuiyi also came up, and the first thing she said when she came up was: "Run." ”

Zhao Ruozhi, who was greatly surprised, looked confused, he thought to himself: "What happened down there, why did you run?" She looked at Lu Shuiyi, Lu Shuiyi's sinister face had a smug look written on it, and she didn't know what bad things she had done.

The earth trembled, the branches swayed, and thick smoke came out of the hole just now, Zhao Ruozhi was stunned this time, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and immediately ran, Lu Shuiyi said: "Let's run to a place where there are no trees, let's watch a good show." ”

The two of them soon ran to a boulder, which was surrounded by rubble, and there were no plants within a radius of several dozen meters.

Zhao Ruozhi asked angrily: "What happened, why is there smoke coming out?" ”

Lu Shui smiled faintly and said, "Do you remember the liquid that flowed from the roots of the tree just now, those liquids are oily, I'll give you some." ”

Zhao Ruozhi looked at Lu Shuiyi incredulously, and suddenly a tree fell, "Boom." "It hit the ground hard, and the ground was smashed by the tree, and it cracked in an instant, and the tree fell down with the earth, and at the same time, the flames burst out of the ground, like burning methane.

It wasn't long before the trees fell, the earth turned into a sea of fire, and the valley was filled with the smell of burnt, most likely from the burned snakes and charred sarcomas from the roots.

The momentum of the flames steamed upward, and as far as the eye could see, there was not a single tree as far as the eye could see, and the clouds above were roasted by the sea of fire below.

Thick smoke billowed and heat waves were choppy, and Zhao Ruozhi and Lu Shui looked very small when they looked at the purgatory-like valley. The fire was shining, their skin was burning, and they were trapped here.

In fact, Lu Shuiyi just tried his own thoughts, if he destroyed these trees, would he be able to dispel those clouds, and then this mysterious valley would reveal its true face, but he didn't expect these trees to be so powerful, burning wildly, as if they were going to burn everything in the world.

The clouds above their heads rolled faster and faster, and the heavy clouds began to be forced back by the flames, and slowly, the clouds rose higher and higher above the ground.

The fire was thousands of meters long, and the clouds in the air lost their source replenishment and began to change, gradually turning from darkness to transparency. In fact, the clouds are white, but because they are too thick, they block the light, so the underground world becomes dark.

Lu Shuiyi didn't know how many trees would be burned by this burn, but to her surprise, the roots of these trees were all connected, and a fire actually burned all the trees.

At this time, Lu Shuiyi no longer cared about the burning trees, she turned her head and asked, "Hey, can you say where you saw that chain now?" For the first time, she spoke to Zhao Ruozhi with a gentle attitude, which made Zhao Ruozhi embarrassed, thinking: "I still feel that she is more normal." ”

Zhao Ruozhi looked at the flames and said, "More than a month ago, in the cellar of my hometown..."

"What?" Lu Shuiyi's attitude has changed greatly.

Zhao Ruozhi hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, that time I found that there was a secret passage in my cellar, leading to a place, where there were many mechanisms, it was very strange, so I formed a fate with the twelve street caves, at the exit at the other end, there was an ancient tomb, and the person died on the stairs under the coffin." ”

Lu Shui's face turned pale, and Zhao Ruozhi thought to himself: "Good girl, is that person her father?" That's miserable, it's sad to look at her, ah, she won't let me take her..."

Lu Shuiyi stared at Zhao Ruozhi for a while, thinking, "This stupid boy doesn't look like a person who can lie, why do I trust him so much?" It's weird. "When this is over, you can take me there." As soon as Lu Shui said, her eyes were a little moist, and she didn't know what sad things she thought.

Zhao Ruozhi asked in a low voice, "No problem." ”

Lu Shui stopped talking.

After a long time, the clouds in the sky had disappeared, and the deep valley, after thousands of years, the sun was shining in for the first time.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds that had not been seen for a long time, Zhao Ruozhi didn't know what to do, the fire weakened, and the surrounding air was not as hot as it was at the beginning.

"Mentally retarded, where are you..."A loud bang came out from above, Lu Shui frowned, Zhao Ruozhi was excited, Lu Shui looked at it with a sharp look, Zhao Ruozhi came to his lips, and swallowed hard.

Zhao Ruozhi looked at Lu Shuiyi and said, "How about we make a deal?" ”

Lu Shui didn't speak.

Zhao Ruozhi continued: "You have also seen the way in, with the strength of the two of us, it is very dangerous to move forward, I think the best way at the moment is to meet with them, and then find the snake king, don't worry, since I promised to take you to find..."

Zhao Ruozhi coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and then said, "I will never break my word." ”

Lu Shui snorted and walked away, yes, he walked away.

Zhao Ruozhi's hanging heart finally relaxed, and he shouted loudly to the sky: "Lao Sha, I'm below." ”

Since discovering the bracelet left by Zhao Ruozhi, the people in Yunhai have followed all the way, and they have not found anything abnormal on the road, even the snake eggs have not hatched the little snakes, they walked straight to the exit after walking through the stone road, and after coming out, everyone saw that it was very bright outside.

Everyone looked at the sky in disbelief, they couldn't see the bottom of the valley from the cliff, how could they see the blue sky at the bottom of the valley? It's weird.

Waves of heat rose from the bottom of the valley, filling the sky, and even wisps of white smoke were emitting in some places, and everyone did not know what was going on at the bottom of the valley, but they dispersed the thick clouds.

Sha Dutian's eyes were sharp, and he saw a saber stuck in front of him, he walked forward quickly, pulled out the saber with force, the rope on the saber had already been broken by the fire, he looked at the saber, and then looked at the deep valley under his feet, there was still a fire burning in the valley, he frowned and thought: "Could it be that they are mentally retarded?" ”

Therefore, Shadutian shouted loudly, and the deep valley, full of flames, echoed in bursts, and no one answered.

Just when he was disappointed, Zhao Ruozhi's voice came loudly from the bottom of the valley.
