Chapter 60: The Blood Tree
"You can rest a little longer, and we'll leave when you're rested." Qin Tian said.
Seven didn't refute this time, he really can't walk now, his feet are as empty as stepping on cotton, and if he encounters danger, he will definitely drag his feet.
So the two rested in place for another half an hour, and Qin Tian confirmed that No. 7's physical condition had stabilized before setting off, what was the danger waiting for them ahead?
Qin Tian walked in front, and No. 7 followed closely behind Qin Tian, now there is no threat of stalactites for the time being, but he can't relax, after all, the more dangerous this cave is, otherwise his grandfather's diary won't say that it's so dangerous.
Qin Tian's feet suddenly made a strange sound, similar to the sound of stepping on broken glass, and when he looked down, it was actually a dry branch, the whole body was blood-red, and the roots were numerous, like ginseng.
Qin Tian wondered in his heart, it was obviously a branch, why did it make such an incongruous sound when he stepped on it, and this color was also a little strange, the blood-red branch should not exist in nature, this was definitely beyond common sense.
"Be careful! Get out of that branch! Seven reminded him at the right time behind him, and he took a step back.
Qin Tian reacted quickly after hearing the rapid shouts of the seventh, and suddenly dodged to the left, and he also had a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, this branch was inexplicably too weird here.
Sure enough, the blood-red branches suddenly exploded, and a large number of sawdust turned into bloody needles and flew in all directions, many of which were deeply rooted in the rock walls on both sides.
Fortunately, Qin Tian and the others retreated a little farther away before they were affected, but Qin Tian was also the rest of his life after the catastrophe at this time, and his mood could not be calm for a long time, if he had reacted a little slower just now, maybe he would have been pierced into a hornet's nest now.
There must be some trouble coming this time, Qin Tian thought sadly in his heart, it seems that he is going to fight with this place again.
"The energy fluctuations in these blood branches are very random, and they will explode when they are touched lightly, and there is a strange fluctuation in them, which even I can't see through." Seven stared at it for a long time before he said slowly.
Qin Tian nodded in agreement, and he also saw some clues after the dark light entered his eyes, although he didn't look at it more carefully than No. 7, he could also see that this was not an ordinary branch, it should be someone deliberately, but I don't know if there is such a similar thing behind.
Qin Tian walked to the rock wall beside him, and picked off a needle prick made of sawdust, the blood on it had dried up, but there was still a faint smell of blood, it looked like the blood in the stalactites before should be the blood of the same kind of creature, it was really hard to imagine what kind of creature left it.
The two of them continued to walk deeper into the cave, this time they walked extra carefully, after all, they didn't know where there would be blood-red branches in front of them, and if they stepped on it again, they would be in trouble.
However, the strange thing is that there is not a single blood-red branch on the road after that, it is like a bright and smooth road, but the faint sense of uneasiness in Qin Tian's heart still exists, and this crisis has definitely not passed.
"Qin Tian, there seems to be a tree in front of you." No. 7 suddenly said to Qin Tian, a purple glint flashed in his eyes, and he looked straight ahead.
"Trees?! It can't be blood-red. Qin Tian shouted in disbelief, if the tree was also blood-red, then something was going to happen.
No. 7 also knew that if it was according to what Qin Tian said, it would probably be in big trouble, but unfortunately, as he said, the whole body of the tree was as red as jade, and it was even more demonic than the dry branches before, and the land under the tree was also a little different.
Qin Tian saw that No. 7 was silent, and he probably understood a little, no wonder there were no blood-red branches here, it turned out that the source was not far away, and he didn't know how weird that tree would be, it would definitely be much more evil than blood-red branches.
"It seems that we still can't get around, let's go see and see." Qin Tian took the lead in the front, the two jade marks on his chest were as red as light, he had to be fully prepared, in case something changed, he would have to be on guard.
The stone pendant hanging on the chest of No. 7 who followed Qin Tian at this time also shone with a faint red glow, and the purple light flowed in his eyes, if he encountered an enemy hidden in the shadows, he could pull people into the illusion space, which was an ability that even Qin Tian had to fear.
The two walked for about ten minutes, and finally saw the blood-red tree, there were only a few leaves on the tree, and the strange thing was that the leaves were not also blood-red, but green, Qin Tian and the two looked at this picture of disobedience, and their hearts were indescribably weird.
The blood-red tree was rooted in a cold land, and there was even a trace of cold air on it, even if it was far away, Qin Tian could still feel a cold feeling piercing his heart, this land must not be an ordinary thing, maybe someone deliberately made it.
"Can you see any clues?" Qin Tian asked No. Seven tentatively, even with the dim light of his eyes, he couldn't see through the secret of this blood-red little tree, it seemed that there was a thick fog covering everything, it was estimated that only No. Seven's special pupil power could see something.
Indeed, as Qin Tian thought, No. 7 saw something unusual through the small tree, a thick pillar-like underground passage connected to the roots of the blood-red tree, and what flowed in that underground passage was nothing else, it was a long river of blood that was as hot as magma.
On that long river of blood, the phantom of a behemoth appeared, much clearer than the phantom of the stalactite before, and even its outline could be seen clearly.
After seeing the true face of the phantom, Seven's face instantly turned pale, and he intermittently pointed in the direction of the small tree and said,
"How is it possible, it turned out to be it?!"
"What's it? What exactly do you see? Qin Tian saw that No. 7's face was ugly, and he hurriedly asked.
No. 7 took a deep breath and muttered, "It's the monster that looks like a wolf I saw in the Xingtai Grand Canyon before. ”
Qin Tian's heart jumped after hearing this, he was no stranger to the monster in the mouth of the seventh, he had used some tricks to get rid of it, and so far I think about it, the strength of that monster is almost the same as that of him under the blessing of the jade talisman, it is really powerful, and the magic of concealing the breath is unpredictable.
I didn't expect the blood to be it, but Qin Tian remembered that the monster they encountered at the beginning should be in the Xingtai Grand Canyon, how could it appear here? Isn't there more than one such monster?
"The monster's blood is connected to this blood-red tree, and it seems to be feeding it energy, and the blood in the stalactites before is also the monster's." Seven looked at the blood-red tree and said slowly.
