The inside of the figurines is hollow, flanked by tendons and green thorns. Alive? No, it's not the internal structure of the human body, it's ······ On the contrary, it looked like some kind of plant, and when the figurine was opened, there was still a broken slime in it, and I felt a chill when I saw it.

But the next second, the thing pounced on me.

Suddenly, as soon as it was dark, I was wrapped in, and then the figurine-like plant moved, and it fell down rapidly, and I was wrapped in the inside of the thing, and the whole person sagged violently, as if I was on a descending elevator, from the 20th floor to the 1st floor, and it was reached in three seconds.

There was a churn in my stomach, and I couldn't help but vomit.

Then came the free fall, and I felt like I was being carried into a huge space by the figurine, and finally fell the soft dirt.

My waist bone was about to break from the fall, but fortunately, all kinds of sticky objects poured into the figurine's body, and there were liquids and soft objects all around, and they protected me very well.

It rolled around the ground a few times, and when it was stable, I waved my hand and ripped it all off of me. He took a breath and pushed the figurines left and right with all his strength, and drilled out.

The woman was standing across from me, with a gun in her hand, and looking at me with a smile. I looked back, and my figurine had been broken by the roots, so I fell from mid-air.

It seems that she was also swallowed by the figurines and brought in, this is underground, a huge underground forest. As far as the eye can see, oak trees are lush and pine trees are forested. The black sky was filled with gray trails, like gray rain, and I touched my hair to realize that it was volcanic ash.

"Don't have a word for your savior?" She leaned sideways to let her body into my line of sight.

I blocked the light of her headlamp with my hand, and looked at a figurine beneath her, but the figurine could no longer move, and the middle was cut with a sharp knife, and green blood flowed all over the ground.

I waved my hand, indicating that I didn't want to answer her, and my head was messed up, this should be the bottom of the forest, but what the fuck is it? Why do such vegetative figurines appear?

As if guessing my thoughts, "Look at it!" The girl pointed to it.

I looked down and saw that at the top of the cave, the rhizomes of a plant were densely covered, like a sky web, and on the rhizomes like spider webs, there were still plants hanging one by one like human figurines.

"Look down the roots!" The girl's flashlight shone into the depths of the cave.

Yes, the rhizomes must have come of some kind of plant, and I saw them stretching together towards the depths of the cave, and at the end of the darkness there was a little light.

"Light!" I was stunned for a moment.

It's faint, but I'm not mistaken.

"Hey, I saved you."

I continued to ignore her, I understood this woman, she was a madman, and had a strong masochistic tendency, I thought to myself, if an ordinary girl followed a man I didn't know and fell into a sinkhole, it would be nice if she wasn't afraid, how could there be someone like her who chased me and chattered?

When I looked around, I found that there was tens of millions of years of volcanic ash piled up on the ground here, like snow, so it was no wonder that I didn't feel any impact when I fell.

"I said ......." She didn't give up and chased after me.

"Wait····· Wait a minute! I started to get a little annoyed and reached out to interrupt her, "Who the hell are you?" ”

"What?" She glanced at me and tilted her head to make an extremely puzzled look: "That's how you usually talk to girls, right?" Scarface. ”

I was stunned for a moment, thinking to myself, is this a normal fucking way of chatting? If you don't answer what you asked, you will also take my army.

"Fart, I'm a man's bloody scar."

I don't want to talk to her endlessly, I think this girl must be professionally trained to chat. Thinking that he couldn't ask anything for a while, he didn't care so much, patted the vomit on his body, and squatted down to carefully look at the two figurines.

Sure enough, it was the same as I guessed, these figurines were the rhizomes of some kind of tree, and the armor-like thing on his outside was completely made of tree bark, but the bark was hard, and the hands felt like stones, and the expressions on the faces of those figurines were completely folds between the bark.

No wonder, these things turned out to be a kind of plant similar to the man-eating flower, which grew out of the ground with the spring rains and then retracted into the ground when the sunlight appeared.

But what kind of plant would have such living roots? They are like living beings, have their own minds, and can even hunt for their own nourishment.

Indeed, if it weren't for the girl who broke free and shot me halfway through, I probably would have turned into fertilizer for this tree.

And so on····· Tree? Thoughts flashed through my mind, and I grabbed it.

Raising his head, looking at the countless "figurines" hanging in mid-air, as well as the dense network of tree roots, I couldn't help but think of this magical plant, this huge area, could it be the legendary sacred tree?

As soon as the thoughts in my mind were confirmed, many thoughts were drawn together like magnets, and yes, the appearance of these things was on the night of the full moon, as was the case in 1945, and the same was true yesterday, and their appearance heralded the opening of the alien dimension (as it is called for the time being).

So, in this way, I have found the sacred tree?

And now I'm under the roots of this tree!

I couldn't wait to snatch a flashlight from her hand and walked forward alone.

My goal was clear, to walk towards the place where it glowed. No matter where it is, light is always the target of people in the dark, and when I get to that place, when I have the light, the rest of the things can be slowly investigated, and as for the woman, I don't want to pay attention to her anymore, it's just a chatter, like a fly.

But is it really possible to get out in such a place?

I looked at this place, under the light of flashlights and headlamps, there was a vast underground forest, and all kinds of strange trees were growing here.

It didn't take long for the woman to catch up from behind, she changed her clothes, and shouted at me, and I gave her a blank look, stopped, and turned around.

"Here you go, it stinks!" She threw me my jacket.

I ignored her, there must be something wrong with this woman.

I didn't say anything all the way, I followed the little beauty and kept my head down, during which I kept paying attention to her movements, this is a smart woman, from a psychological point of view, she is consciously or unconsciously figuring out my character, and pulling into our previous relationship, because in this place, you can't get out with the strength of one person alone.

And anyway, I need to be wary of this woman, because she has been wearing down my wariness of her.

After graduating, I once talked to a sales team, and the supervisor told me that there is never nonsense in the conversation between strange men and women, and every sentence between them is very purposeful or foreshadowing. So you have to think, you have to analyze.

I took a deep breath and moved away from the woman, she had a gun in her backpack, and a knife, and she could even break the rhizome of the root plant with one shot in the dark, which was enough to show that she was definitely not a weak woman who was helpless, and what she needed now was most likely just a coolie, or a companion who spent time in the dark, and if I got out, my fate was obvious, it was death.

She wouldn't hesitate to shoot me.

At this time, Asuke's death still lingered in my mind, and I always remember his words.

"If you don't kill people, you can't get out of this mountain."

That's right, in the multi-party game, there is no need to be soft-hearted, and the means are not hard, and you will eventually lose the upper hand.
