Volume 4 Lingdong Sword Burial Chapter 27 Tongtian Cave Sky Tree
"Will this be the final location?" Everyone gathered at the entrance of the cave, looking at the same dark passage, Boss Taiyi couldn't help asking.
"Who knows? Whatever, take one step at a time, anyway, there is only one last level left, and after passing this level, whether it is the final location or not, you will eventually reach that location. Yu Qian withdrew the rope of the string tiger lock, and also looked at the passage and said.
"There's a lot of nonsense, it's all here, hurry up and get in, right?" I was left in a corner, but I was anxious. Although it is already dawn now, there are many things going on, and I can't tell what is going on above.
"Oops! You are a disabled person who is more anxious than us, what are you anxious about? I'm in a hurry to get you, but I'm going in first! Yu Qian put the string tiger lock into the backpack behind her back, walked in front of me, bent down in front of my face, and said with a sneering look.
Although she was joking, I always felt very unbalanced. Anyone can make fun of me, but I just don't want to be teased by this guy.
I was so angry that I grabbed her nose with one mouth. Yu Qian immediately roared wildly, stretched out her hand and slapped my head repeatedly.
My head was already scarred, but with this beat, the burned flesh immediately bleed, and the gauze soaked through it.
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop, stop! Fight again, and he's done! "Boss Taiyi and Zhou Jun were still discussing something, but when they suddenly turned around, they saw the red appearance on my head, and they were so frightened that they ran over and grabbed Yu Qian.
Yu Qian was just excited for a while, but now when she saw me grinning and gasping for air, her head was red and bloody, and she was suddenly frightened.
Zhou Jun unwrapped my gauze and prepared to re-bandage me. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I asked her to untie me. Even if I can't understand it all, it will allow me to move freely.
But Zhou Jun disagreed, so he had to be honest. But I squinted my eyes and glanced at Yu Qian, and the meaning was self-evident. If you don't loosen my ties, Yu Qian will go crazy again later, then I will really finish and leave.
Zhou Jun hesitated for a long time, and finally looked at Yu Qian with a suspicious eye, and finally let me loosen the implication and tied me into a bandage of worms.
Although I didn't solve it all in the end, I was able to move my limbs, walk and run. However, too strenuous exercise may still cause the wound to crack.
After helping me reorganize, Zhou Jun walked up to Yu Qian and said to her: "If you still want him, then start lightly next time, otherwise, you will only get a corpse." ”
Yu Qian stuck out her tongue, looking playful, and then looked at me apologetically. After making eye contact with her, I quickly turned around and walked into the passage.
Yu Qian immediately jumped to her feet in anger and rushed towards me.
"This is against the enemy! How did I get involved with them before? Alas...... "Zhou Jun looked at the two of us deep in the darkness, sighed again and again, and couldn't cry or laugh.
"If you don't get involved in them, then I can't know you, in fact, I'm very grateful to Lao Chen." Boss Taiyi came to Zhou Jun's side with a sapper shovel and said with a smile.
Zhou Jun gave him a blank look: "Since you thank him, then you still don't catch up?" Be careful, he was torn apart by Yu Qian. ”
Taiyi's boss was excited, and he hurriedly chased after him. Zhou Jun smiled behind his back and followed.
I ran all the way, and I basically didn't know that the wounds on my body would collapse and bleed. There will be a limit to this bleeding, so that it will not kill me. But if I stop and get caught by Yu Qian, it won't be a loss of life, and I suspect that I will spend the rest of my life in pain.
"Chen Fei! Stop! Yu Qian chased while shouting, I basically didn't look at the road, and ran in a line.
Fortunately, this passage is very smooth, although it is not as smooth as the previous passages, which are manually chiseled and very smooth. But the passage in the form of a natural cave is also very neat, and the gravel is not enough to block the way.
However, my body injury was indeed a bit serious, and I was in terrible pain when I ran, all of which were pain on the surface of my skin, and I was contemplating cold. So, I also ran slower and slower, and I couldn't lift up too much strength.
Finally, after running a long distance, my speed plummeted, and I was gradually chased close by Yu Qian.
"Boom!" With a stumble, I involuntarily took a step forward, and only then did I stabilize my figure. But after stabilizing, I didn't even think about turning around and explaining anything to Yu Qian, who bumped into me, and I didn't feel the slightest fear in my heart.
At this moment, my heart is full of incredible, full of disbelief. In front of me, in a huge cavern, a huge, unknown glowing giant tree stood in it. The giant tree rises to the sky and flourishes, as if covering the sky!
I stood under the tree, as small as an ant, and I was stunned and excited when I looked at the huge tree that covered the sky and the sun.
Yu Qian walked up to me behind me, looking up at the giant tree in shock, forgetting to trouble me for a while, and standing there with me in a daze.
The Great Cave of the Heavens, which is a deep mountain leading directly to the cave. When you look up, you can see the sky through the branches and leaves of the trees that shade the sky. This is the belly of a large mountain, and there is a hole in the middle of this mountain, which is actually the remains of an ancient volcano.
The giant tree is unknown, but its magnitude is somewhat terrifying. Twenty people hugging its trunk may not be enough. The foliage is luxuriant, and it is not an exaggeration to use the degree of obscuration of the sky and the sun, and the vertical mouth of the large volcano is completely covered, and we can't even see the sky if it weren't for the scattered empty space.
But even so, the dense foliage, the huge trees that were thirty or forty meters high, still covered the bottom, the place where we were, tightly and darkly.
But it was very strange, under the branches and leaves of the giant tree, which were quite high from us, patches of green light flickered, like fireflies. The large number of light spots actually illuminated the cave where we were located below, like a fairyland, very beautiful.
"Lao Chen! Lao Chen, are you alright? "Boss Taiyi and Zhou Jun chased out of the small cave behind and shouted as soon as they saw my back.
But in the next second, his voice stopped abruptly, and he and Zhou Jun were also shocked in an instant, dumbfounded.
"That's down there...... What is it? After being stunned for a long time, Yu Qian woke up first, and suddenly pointed to the hanging strip under the trunk and asked.
Because of the interference of those luminous objects, we see that everything in this huge cave is green, even if the flashlight shines past, far away, it is also green. So, we didn't even see what it was.
"It's rattan, right? Companion vines of giant trees? Boss Taiyi guessed.
"Why don't you just go and see it?" I said, glancing at it.
Only Zhou Jun kept looking at those things, frowning, and did not speak.
After a long walk, there is still a long way to go from the trunk. At this time, I also realized that there was actually a stream under this not very smooth cave. The creek crisscrossed the middle part of the cavern, and all we saw was the overflowing water of the stream.
Treading water, he walked a little further, and got closer to the trunk. We also saw the strips hanging near the trunk of the tree, and when we looked closely, we realized that there was much more to it than what we found from a distance. Around the trunk of the tree, densely packed, covered with this thing, in a whole circle!
"Why are there so many? What's that? Boss Taiyi was also a little shocked by this sudden discovery.
At this time, Zhou Jun finally spoke: "I don't feel very good, those things don't seem to be very good things." ”
I looked at her curiously and asked, "What did you find?" ”
"Well, I feel like those things...... It's a corpse! Zhou Jun said with a pale face.
"Corpses?" Not only me, but Yu Qian and Boss Taiyi all looked back at Zhou Jun in disbelief, all of them looking incredulous.
"You don't believe it? Then take a closer look. I'm a doctor, and I'm very accustomed to corpses in all kinds of death forms, like those things hanging there, judging from the shape, they are all hanging human shapes......" Zhou Jun pointed to the dense strips and said.
Boss Taiyi and Yu Qian and I looked at each other, and then we all took a few steps forward.
Only three or four meters from the trunk of the tree, we stopped, and all of us turned pale and uncomfortable. Zhou Jun was right, the things hanging down were really all corpses! Human corpses!
It wasn't until this location that we could be sure that it was a human body, which shows how badly these corpses were deformed and weathered for a long time!
"So much? Hundreds, right? Who are these people? Boss Taiyi's face was pale, but fortunately, there were no other adverse reactions.
I've seen the broken corpses of those four people before, and in the face of this kind of dry corpse, which is almost weathered and formless, we are still relatively calm, just because of its number, we are not calm.
"It may be a slave...... Yu Qian said with a slight cover of her mouth and nose.
Actually, there is no particularly bad smell, just some corrosive smell, moist green moss. But in the face of so many corpses, everyone involuntarily covered their mouths and noses.
"In ancient times, slaves had no human rights, and life and death depended on the thoughts of the slave owner. There is basically no trace of struggle among these people, and most of them are hanged here, they should be slaves who were sentenced to die here willingly......" Yu Qian continued.
"Willingly? Died so horribly? What slave is so unruly? I don't think they're slaves, and even if they were, they were drugged and died in a mess. Boss Taiyi didn't believe Yu Qian's words very much, so he reasoned again.
"Who do you care about them? All I know is that so many people die here, and this person who is in charge is definitely the number one bastard, the most inhuman thing. I looked at the hundreds of corpses and said with some indignation.
"And do you have humanity to call him a bastard or not? How long ago was that? Hurry up and see if this is the final location, and if the magic sword is hidden here! It's your job! Zhou Jun glanced at me and pulled me back to reality from my compassionate state.
