When the morale came up, our actions were immediately much faster, and the younger brothers were also screaming.

By noon, we had crossed several three-way intersections. The surroundings began to change a little.

It used to be bare all around, but now some low vegetation is slowly appearing around it, and it seems that this is not the same place as before, and we have entered another area.

This is also a new hope, I look around, and I feel that there is a little bit of life here, but now, no one dares to approach the edge of the swamp, who knows if there will be such a transparent monster here, if you are not careful, your head will be eaten.

Occasionally, another team could be seen, apparently not far from us, but they just couldn't catch up, and there was no sign of them along the way.

I feel like we're walking on two different paths, maybe who's going to get to that ghost town first, but we have a map in hand, and once we get there, with my ability, we should be able to get to the core one step faster than them.

I secretly pushed myself up, and the team had apparently spotted us.

Their speed has also increased, and I feel that their numbers are decreasing a little bit on a regular basis, although it is slowly becoming less noticeable later.

It seems that they have found a way to curb the attrition.

Entering a three-pronged crossing, this time we were going very fast, and it felt like we were already ahead of the other team, of course, maybe it was just an illusion.

A few younger brothers are even more excited, and now the surrounding environment has changed, indicating that we are still advancing.

After turning a few corners, a tree actually appeared in front of me, and it was a dead end.

A few of us stopped and stared blankly at the tree. A feeling of wanting to cry without tears made me a little depressed.

Although we have not gone through a lot of hardships, we have also worked hard, but the appearance of this tree tells us that we have gone wrong and that this road is not working.

The two little brothers who started in front looked back at me and Brother Hong, and I could only smile bitterly, how can I say this, I have come to the road of death, it is very simple to see here, it is just a small circular earthen platform, and a tree grows in the middle.

The tree was also quite strange, much like a willow tree, with a top full of branches hanging down towards the ground.

The whole trunk was as thick as three people hugging each other, and the crown was high, but the branches were all hanging to the ground, but there were no leaves, and the breeze blew, and the branches swayed constantly.

"Look there." A younger brother pointed to the top of the tree.

I followed his hand and saw that at the top of the tree, there were several large, slightly transparent things that looked like fruits.

How can this tree bear fruit? I immediately felt the inevitability of nature in my heart. A bare willow tree actually bears fruit.

Brother Hong said on the side: "I said, brother, this shouldn't be an immortal fruit." You see the color, it's different from everything. ”

"What do you think?" I immediately felt a little nauseous and said, "I've read too many novels, I can become an immortal by eating this, and maybe I won't necessarily die." ”

Brother Hong smiled, and then said: "It makes sense, it makes sense, if you die, you will become an immortal, forget it, it's a dead end, let's go." ”

I nodded and turned to leave, when a younger brother said on the side: "Brother Hong, Brother Wen, I'm ...... Is there something you can ask? ”

We looked back at him, and this little brother was one of the more clever of these people, and he was very smart. Sometimes his brain is not bad, and he often gives Brother Hong some ideas.

He has been making arrangements along the way, and he has been doing very well, and if he wants to speak at this time, he must have discovered something.

"What's the matter? You said. "Brother Hong is also more serious about this little brother, and he is more patient than others.

The little brother said: "Didn't the boss lady say that the ghost town is under the swamp, if you infer according to this idea, in case this tree is a trap tunnel, it is a ...... for us to go underground."

He didn't finish it, leaving half of it, presumably for us to think for ourselves.

When Brother Hong heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Smart boy, there really is a set." Then look at me and see if I have any different thoughts.

I closed my eyes and thought for a moment, it was not impossible that we were in the center of the swamp based on the way we walked in, but there was no dungeon feeling here.

And this tree, standing alone, may really have something special.

I nodded and said, "You can try it, but be careful to be safe, I think, shoot twice first, and then see if there is really anything special about this tree, give me the telescope." ”

"You're a little too careful, but also, this place, it's always right to be careful." Brother Hong immediately took out his gun, and "Woo Woo" was two shots at the tree, and I looked at it with a telescope.

These two shots should have hit the tree, because there was a little white smoke rising from the tree, but there were no scars, and the bark was actually bulletproof.

I'll go, is this really a tree? I feel that the little brother's judgment may be somewhat reasonable, it is certainly possible to let a tree carry a gun, but it is obviously impossible to be injured at all.

It seems that the tree is also processed.

Brother Hong and I glanced at each other, and we both saw surprise in each other's eyes. The little brother obviously saw the result as well, and nodded with a smile on the side, quite a bit of a villain.

Brother Hong thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to go up and have a look?" ”

I frowned, I don't know why, from just now, I had a bad feeling in my heart.

Of course, this is just a feeling, because since we've been here for a long time, there's nothing wrong with the tree, although it does grow strangely.

Brother Hong probably saw that I didn't respond for a long time, and he couldn't wait for me, so he said to the younger brother: "Then take a look, pay attention to safety, if you have any problems, come back immediately, be careful." ”

The little brother immediately agreed, probably because he was very confident in his judgment.

But in this kind of place, he still leaned slowly towards the tree, and we made him nervous.

The other little brothers even took out their guns, and were ready to shoot the tree as soon as there was any problem, although they didn't seem to be able to move.

Human beings are like this, and it seems that having a gun in hand seems to be a lot more reassuring.

The little brother walked slowly, and we followed him.

The little brother stretched out his hand and pulled out the branches, and then walked in, and we slowly approached the tree, and we were already very close to the tree.

Suddenly, those branches bounced up, and rolled towards us, this time the incident happened suddenly, I was not prepared at all, just subconsciously blocked with my hand, and at the same time retreated.

Immediately afterward, I felt a tightness in my hand, and a branch actually wrapped around my wrist, and a strong force struck me, pulling me into the tree.

At the critical moment, I had to lie back with my whole body, and I was stunned to use the weight of my whole body to create a force to compete with the pulling force of the branch.

We're like we're pulling up a river here.

Brother Hong and the others were not entangled, and retreated a long way back, probably only then did they find that I was tug-of-war with the tree here, and several people rushed over and grabbed me from behind, trying to pull me away, but the tree became more and more entangled.

At this moment, a scream was heard, and I looked up.

It was the little brother who had already walked into the tree, and at this time he was entangled in countless branches, and his whole body was carried up by the tree and stuck towards the position of the trunk.

He could barely move, only screaming from his mouth.

And the bark of the tree, at this time, actually slowly opened, like an open mouth.

The bark of the tree was opened, revealing the trunk inside, but it was not a pale yellow color like ordinary trees. The trunk was transparent.

I was thinking about how it could be like this, when a dozen transparent meridian-like things suddenly stood up in the inner trunk of the tree, like thin tubes during juice infusion. The thin tubes stabbed into the little brother's body at a rapid pace.

The younger brother immediately let out a wail, and blood immediately appeared in those transparent thin tubes.

I felt my scalp tingle, this thing was actually sucking that little brother's blood.

I heard someone next to me fighting with teeth, and when I turned my head to look, it was actually Brother Hong, and even he was a little scared.

The other younger brothers were even worse, and one of them sat on the ground.

The blood-sucking little brother kept struggling, but he was obviously not as strong as the tree, and finally, he slowly stopped writhing.

"Look...... Look at that piece. A trembling voice came, and at the same time a finger pointed upward, and a few of us looked up, and at this time, on the top of the tree, there was a huge red fruit, bright red, blood-colored fruit.

I felt a tightness in my hands, and immediately remembered that I was still under the control of this demon tree, and I tried my best to step back, but to no avail.

At this time, Brother Hong drew his dagger and slashed at the branches of the demon tree, and he was the only one who could still move.

But the thin branches were as if they were made of steel and iron, and they didn't even break the skin.

"Let's go." I yelled because I noticed that the other branches were already rolling in this direction, and if I wasn't careful, there was a good chance that I would get someone else involved.

It seemed that I was dead, and I don't know why, at this moment, I was still able to shout such words, even I was a little surprised.

"If you fuck say another word, I'll shoot you." Brother Hong yelled, obviously in a hurry, and began to scold the street, "Lao Tzu can save you." Think of a solution. ”

"Try it on fire." A younger brother said suddenly.

Damn, that's fucking smart.

Brother Hong immediately took out his lighter and burned it towards the branch.

Sure enough, all things are mutually reinforcing, no matter how hard the tree is, it is also a tree, after being burned, it immediately shrunk, and the whole branch let go of me, and there were a few little brothers behind me at this time pulling me back, and we all fell to the ground with this force.

At this time, we heard a "click".
