The cave in the ground was bottomless, and a large number of thick tree roots could be seen, crisscrossing them.

Bai Ou didn't dare to be careless, holding an alloy war knife in one hand, while grabbing these tree roots and going down carefully.

The further down you go, the larger the space becomes, and it seems as if the underground has split in half from here, forming another deeper underground world.

All around are the well-developed root system of the Zhiling Mother Tree, and Bai Ou is secretly frightened when he sees it.

Deep underground, it seemed cold, and the body of the Lingzhi princess on her shoulders was trembling slightly, as if she was afraid, and it seemed that she couldn't resist this coldness.

Bai Ou followed the roots of the Lingzhi mother tree all the way down, and finally, he stopped.

Although the underground is dark, his eyesight is several times higher than that of ordinary people, and he can still vaguely see a vague humanoid shadow here.

I took out the previous spare lighter from my waist, opened it and looked at it, I couldn't help but be taken aback, and the lighter in my hand was almost scared off.

In this dense root of the Ganoderma lucidum mother tree, there is a huge wooden coffin entangled, and what is even more strange is that there is a strange humanoid puppet under the wooden coffin, this humanoid puppet is lying on top of the Ganoderma lucidum mother tree, and most of the roots around it are exhausted, and it seems that all the essence in it has been swallowed by this puppet.

Suddenly seeing a coffin and a puppet underground, Bai Ou was horrified, and the cold air rushed to the top of his head.

"That's it...... This is the source of infection, which infects the mother tree of Ganoderma lucidum. ”

Suddenly, the small voice of Princess Lingzhi sounded in his ears, and Bai Ou calmed down.

Princess Lingzhi was trembling all over, looking extremely frightened and frightened, and she had already hidden it in Bai Ou's collar, but her little hand was pointing at the puppet from a distance.

Bai Ou took a deep breath of cold air, tried his best to calm down, and with the help of the firelight, he saw a crack in the wooden coffin, guessing that the puppet should have fallen from the wooden coffin, just said that the puppet devouring the essence of the tree should be just an illusion, after all, it was just a lifeless puppet.

While comforting himself as he approached, Bai Ou used a lighter and stretched out a hand to grab the puppet, about to tear it away.

Closer, he finally got a good look at the puppet.

The surface of the puppet was covered with strange tissues like blood, as if the puppet had a life, and the next moment his hand hurt, and the blood on the surface of the puppet's body moved like a snake and pierced into his palm.

"Ahh

At this moment, the small snake pattern on his right arm suddenly lit up.

In the next moment, the bloodshot that had originally stretched into his body shrank back, and the bloodshot on the surface of the puppet slowly converged and reverted back to an ordinary puppet, and everything was like an illusion just now.

"What's going on?" Bai Ou felt that his brain was a little confused, just at that moment, it seemed to be real and illusory, and then he looked at the puppet carefully, it was just a puppet that had been in tatters for a long time, and it was about to rot, ordinary and ordinary, without the slightest weirdness.

"Is it just a delusion? Yes, it's that I'm thinking too much, it's just an ordinary puppet. Bai Ou whispered, and tossed the puppet aside.

His curiosity was now attracted by the coffin buried deep in the mother tree of the Ganoderma lucidum.

There is no doubt that this is definitely not a coffin used by ordinary people for burial.

This place has gone deep into the ground, and there is a Ganoderma lucidum mother tree, looking at the entangled appearance of the roots, it is by no means possible to form in a short time, at least it is hundreds of thousands of years before it can be formed.

Since it took so long, this wooden coffin did not decay in the slightest, and who was it contained?

Could the treasure Chen Weidong be referring to the contents of this coffin?

Bai Ou was moved by curiosity and approached the coffin carefully.

The lid of the coffin had already been opened for a small half, and Bai Ou gently lifted it to open it completely.

With the help of the firelight, Bai Ou stared at the coffin, and the whole person was as stunned as if he was petrified.

He thought about many possibilities, thinking that the coffin might be the bones of a human body, or the corpse of a monster, or even nothing, or some rare treasure.

He guessed all the possibilities, but he never imagined that he would see a little girl in this coffin.

A girl who did not look to be more than seven or eight years old, wrapped in a brocade robe, with her long black hair spread out, almost as tall as her body.

She lay peacefully in the coffin, less like a corpse, more like a deep sleep.

"It's ...... What's going on? Bai Ou took a deep breath and looked at this girl, at this moment, his mind was in a trance, as if he saw her thousands of years of vicissitudes in this girl, her body was not rotten, and she seemed to be with heaven and earth.

In a trance, he suddenly understood that the puppet just now was the toy of the sleeping girl in the coffin, and it had accompanied her to sleep for thousands of years......

Suddenly, a shrill sound from a heavy iron chain dragging the earth sounded, waking up Bai Ou in a trance.

He felt a faint vibration below, and there was the sound of chains, accompanied by heavy footsteps, as if a giant dragging chains was striding slowly towards him.

Bai Ou suddenly felt his heart beating like a drum, and there was an invisible oppressive force that made him breathless, and in the depths of the dark underground, a cloud of fire rose like nothing, and the fire suddenly became brighter, as if there was a volcano about to erupt at the bottom of the earth, and magma gushed out.

"Not good." Feeling a huge heat wave surging from the bottom up, the first magma came out of a highly toxic gas, Bai Ou inhaled part of the poisonous gas, and it was difficult to breathe, as if he was about to suffocate.

He reacted, and no longer bothered to look closely at the mysterious girl in the coffin, turned around and fled desperately upwards.

The roots of the trees that had long since withered and died suddenly broke off, and the coffin wrapped in the roots immediately fell down, falling into the fiery red magma gushing out from below.

Bai Ou climbed up with all his might, and between life and death, he was as fast as an ape.

Soon, he crawled out of the cracks in the ground along the roots of the trees.

When Bai Ou fled, he didn't notice that the puppet that had been discarded by him was tumbling down because of the shaking of the ground, and a pair of eyes faintly flashed like a red light.

After Bai Ou crawled out, he took a breath of air, and the sad feeling of inhaling the poisonous gas disappeared, the vibration and sound of the ground were gone, and the magma that seemed to be about to be ejected disappeared, as if it was suppressed by some invisible force.

Bai Ou thought that the last thing he saw was the coffin falling into the lava, could it be that the bottom of the earth became calm because of this coffin?
