The flare lasted for a limited time, and Mu Chen couldn't look at the building too much. He concentrated and tried to remember the position and spacing of each of the trees in between.

The cold night repelled the blood spirit vine, and kicked a dead baby open, "Is the exit there?" ”

"Quite possibly!" Mu Chen was a little lucky, fortunately he was a modern person, if the ancient tomb robbers came, even if the thief god was alive, he was afraid that he would have to fold in this tomb. The mere fact that you can't light a fire can stop almost everyone.

After going down, with Mu Chen guiding the way, everyone opened the way and struggled towards the middle area.

Relying on Mu Chen's excellent memory, he didn't go around in circles this time. However, the closer they got to the middle, the more dead babies and blood spirit vines there were, but fortunately, none of the people present were ordinary people, and their hearts, abilities, and cooperation were excellent, so when they were exhausted, they finally stepped into the middle area.

There should be something in this circle to restrain the two, so neither the Dead Baby nor the Blood Spirit Vine chased in. Everyone had already exhausted their strength, and when they saw that they were safe for the time being, they all sat down and gasped for breath.

As soon as Mu Chen sat down, Leng Ye shouted again, "Damn!" It lifted up everyone's hearts that had just been put down.

"What's wrong?" Mu Chen hurriedly got up and looked behind him, and after this glance, he almost screamed.

There is a small palace in the back, which seems to be used for sacrifice, but this is not the point, the point is that this palace is actually built on the root of a tree! The tall building I saw earlier turned out to be a huge tree root!

"Isn't this the tree we burned down on it?" Leng Ye looked incredulous, "Oh my God, I've never seen such a big tree in my life!" Anyway, this is not a locust tree, so why does that point on it look so much like a locust tree? ”

"This should be the legendary Wood Ghost!" Old Man Qin looked at it and spoke. "It's Huai, it's not Huai! This tree has a spirit, and if it is now, it will harm one party! ”

"This wood ghost should be the ancestor of these magic trees, or rather, the trees here are actually its roots. The thick roots grow out of the ground, that is, the magic tree, and the small ones lurk in the ground, nourished by human flesh and blood, and turn into blood spirit vines. The so-called Green Dragon Resentful Spirit Array was actually not done by man, but evolved by this wood ghost itself. ”

“······” Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they couldn't imagine that a tree would have such great power.

"Wood ghosts! This thing actually exists! Mu Chen muttered. He had seen this word in ancient legends, and thought it was a monster made up by people, but he didn't expect that there really was one in the world. It is said that this thing is very evil, and the deformity rate of babies in this small country is so high, maybe it is affected by it.

Yan'er was in a hurry to go to Guo Pu's tomb, so she went directly to observe the palace and wanted to find the exit as soon as possible. Mu Chen was not particularly tired, so he simply didn't stop, and went in with Yan'er.

The palace was dug directly from the roots of the tree and slightly decorated. The overall style is very weird, and it is very different from Han architecture. I don't know if this country likes incomplete beauty, all the reliefs look incomplete, and the buildings on the left and right are not symmetrical, how awkward it looks.

In the palace was an altar, and in front of the offering table was a strangely shaped container, which was coagulated with a thick layer of blood, whether it was human blood or animal blood.

On the sacrificial platform is a big centipede with a pure white body, and I don't know what stone it is carved from, which looks particularly textured. This craftsman is definitely a master, not only the carving is lifelike, but also every detail is not spared, it is exactly like the real thing.

It's still strange in shape, the statue of Wugong Temple before, as well as the stele in front of the village, the centipedes are all erected, looking fierce and evil, but this one is lying on his stomach, like a sleeping kitten, it actually reveals a bit of docility and cuteness.

The palace was not big, and there was nothing else but these, and the two of them turned around, and they did not see the exit, so they came out. Looking for such a thing as a secret channel, let's let Qin Gongzi and them come.

As soon as Mu Chen went out, he saw Leng Ye jumping down from above. "What are you?"

"Oh, I'll see if I can climb down the tree!"

“······” Mu Chen was taken aback by his Qingqi brain circuit. Since there is an altar, it is necessary to sacrifice, and the sacrifice must come in and go out, and the people of this country are not monkeys, how can they climb trees back and forth!

"But there's no exit from above, what's inside, how's it going, is there?"

Mu Chen shook his head. "It's supposed to be a secret passage."

Miss Qin came out not long after entering, "I have found it, and the secret passage is under the sacrificial platform." My brother will go down to explore the road first, and if there is no problem later, we will go down together. ”

Everyone waited with peace of mind, but they didn't expect that ten minutes had passed, and Qin Gongzi had not returned. Mu Chen was a little anxious, although he knew that the passage below would definitely be very long, but in this case, how could he poke his head out, and if he walked for a while, shouldn't he come back?

At this time, Miss Qin came over, "Brother Muchen, you just went in, weren't you scared by that centipede?" ”

"Huh?" Mu Chen was a little strange, that centipede was not scary, not to mention, this Miss Qin's courage was by no means comparable to that of an ordinary woman, how could she be scared?

"When I was looking for the mechanism, I always felt that centipede staring at me, its eyes were so scary, just like the real thing, as if it would pounce and bite me in the next second!" Miss Qin still has palpitations when she thinks about it now.

Hearing this, Mu Chen's scalp was violently numb, and his whole body seemed to be electrified. The centipede was obviously shrunk into a ball, with its head facing inward, how could it be possible to stare at her? Unless······

Mu Chen and Yan'er glanced at each other, jumped up and ran inside at the same time, only to see that the sacrificial platform was empty, and the white centipede had long since disappeared. After glancing around, both of them locked their eyes on the hole under the altar. The centipede didn't go out, and it couldn't be found anywhere, so it could only go down. You know, Qin Gongzi is still down there!

Lin Shuang's tragic situation is still vivid in his mind, how fierce the centipede poison of Wugong Mountain is, everyone has seen it, although Qin Gongzi is strong in martial arts, he is afraid that he will be fierce against the big centipede that he has lived for for many years.

Time was pressing, Yan'er and Leng Ye chased down to help Qin Gongzi first, and Mu Chen followed behind with the others.

Now Mu Chen blames himself very much, he should have seen that something was wrong with the centipede, how could there be a head-facing carving method, but everything here was very strange, so he didn't think much about it. Now I can only pray that Qin Gongzi will not have an accident, otherwise he will have to blame himself to death.

This passage is different from the previous walks, and there are many reliefs and frescoes in it, all in the style of this country. There are many contents on the reliefs and murals, but now the time is urgent, and there is no time to look at them carefully, so I can only sweep them twice.

Mu Chen found that although this country uses the magic tree as a totem, what they really worship is the centipede! Could it be that the villagers of Wugong Village are not tomb keepers, but remnants of this ancient country? Then why is the stone monument in front of the village in the Jin period?

After looking at it sporadically all the way, Mu Chen also learned some information. Under the influence of wood ghosts, there are many deformed babies in this small tribe, so everyone is accustomed to it and does not discriminate against deformed children.

One day, a multi-handed, multi-legged baby came into the world with a vision, was born to speak, and when he grew up, he was even more powerful and invincible, and became a leader. It was he who founded the country and became the patron saint of everyone. Because he has many hands and feet, he is very similar to a centipede, so after his death, people respected him as a centipede immortal, worshipped him, and took the centipede as a totem.

At that time, the centipedes here were still normal, but later, due to the binding of centipedes and wood ghosts, under the influence of them, this slowly mutated into today's highly poisonous transparent centipedes.

In addition, the frescoes tell a lot about the customs of the country, as well as the scenes of the conquests. What impressed Mu Chen the most was a battle, and looking at the costumes, it should be a conflict between the country and the Central Plains.

Those Central Plains people were introduced into the Green Dragon Resentful Spirit Array, and were fighting bravely against the Blood Spirit Vine and the Dead Baby, when suddenly a lot of transparent centipedes crawled out of the woods. Because of their color, these centipedes are difficult to detect. They slowly crept into the crowd, and then the army turned into blood and water, becoming fertilizer for the magic tree.

Looking at this picture, Mu Chen's mind reappeared with Lin Shuang's face of falling down the minced meat, and he couldn't help but feel a chill.

After that, it is the picture of the people of this country invading the enemy country, and if they want to maintain the magic tree and not be eaten back, they must always provide it with nourishment, so the people of this country can only continue to provoke wars and lure other countries to attack them.

Several small countries around them were deceived at first, but when they discovered the weakness of the magic tree, they united and closed the country, strictly forbidding the people of this country to enter, and ignoring their provocations and clamours.

The king had no choice but to sacrifice as his own nationals. However, how can this kind of sporadic sacrifice be compared with the war, the demon tree is becoming more and more dissatisfied, and the backlash is even more powerful.

The king called a meeting to eradicate the magic tree, but he didn't expect that the magic tree was too powerful, and everyone worked hard, but in the end they ended up destroying the country. Most of the corpses under the tree also came from this battle of people and trees.

Mu Chen sighed, the sins of heaven are forgivable, they are self-inflicted, and they cannot live. This country has ended up like this, and it can only be said that it deserves it.

After sighing, Mu Chen suddenly found that he was the only one left around! It should be that I was too fascinated by what I just watched, so I slowly widened the distance with everyone, and finally fell behind.

Just as he was about to chase everyone forward with all his might, Mu Chen suddenly heard a rustling sound, which should have been left by the small claws of insects crawling on the ground. However, to be able to make such a sound, I think it should be a large number of insects acting together.

After listening carefully for a few seconds, Mu Chenmeng reacted, could it be a centipede catching up?
