Chapter Forty-Six: The Illusory Shadow
The tree is also alive? Suddenly this thought popped into my head.
I saw that the branch was covered with spots similar to eyes, and it seemed to be still blinking, which looked strange and abnormal. Looking at the other branches, they also began to sway from side to side, and it looked like the wind was blowing, but this is underground, where is the wind!
In a hurry, I suddenly remembered that I still had a twenty or thirty centimeter-long knife pinned to my waist, so I clamped my legs around the tree, and pulled out a short knife with one free hand.
This knife was left by my grandmother, the blade is jet black, it looks very blunt, but it is actually very sharp.
I instructed Wang Xiaoni to hold me tightly, then twisted my body vigorously, turned to the side of the branch full of eyes, glanced at it a few times, and waved it away, and I heard a sound similar to a child's cry, and the branch broke.
At this time, the branches that had been only slightly swaying shook violently, and there seemed to be hundreds of babies crying in the air. Damn, what a sound! What kind of tree is this, how can it move on its own, and it can make strange noises!
"Little evil, you ...... You're in trouble......"
Wang Xiaonijiao gasped and whispered in my ear.
Before I could react, suddenly a few branches and sharp swords rushed towards me, entwining me and Wang Xiaoni together, for a moment, I had difficulty breathing, my hands also lost strength, and the whole person was pulled into the air, like a soup swing.
I'm sketching grandma! After scolding, I wanted to swing my knife again to break the branch, but my arms were tightly entangled, and I couldn't pull out at all.
In a panic, I saw Uncle Wang and the others shouting something at me while climbing up the tree, but just now I was violently shaken by the branches a few times, and I had tinnitus, and I couldn't hear what they were shouting at all.
I saw Captain Zhang pull out his gun and fire several shots in succession above me. I groaned in my heart and scolded, "You...... You're trying to fucking kill me! ”
I am at least ten meters away from the ground, and there are bluestone slabs underneath, and I should be crawling with insects at this time.
After a few gunshots, Wang Xiaoni and I did not fall, but several palm-sized green bugs fell from our sides, and at the same time, a drop of slimy liquid dripped onto my face, accompanied by a fishy smell, and a hot pain came from my face.
Could it be that the body fluids of the insect are probably corrosive! What kind of bug is this! I subconsciously raised my head, it was okay not to look at it, but this look scared me all over.
I saw countless green bugs the size of an adult's palm, crawling down the branches.
My mother-in-law's fourth aunt! In a panic, I didn't know where the strength came from, so I pulled out my right hand suddenly, and I didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, picking up my arm was a burst of indiscriminate chopping, and I couldn't care so much at that moment, even if I fell to death, it was better than being bitten to death by these disgusting green worms.
Several branches were cut off. The other branches also seemed to have senses, and they shook wildly, and after a few moments I vomited, thinking: It's over! This time I was not bitten to death, I was not thrown to death, I was shaken to death.
As soon as I had finished throwing up, I felt the branches wrapped around us shake violently, and then there was a jolt, and I thought to myself: Could it be that this big branch is reacting to my vomit?
After shaking violently a few times, I felt my body loosen and the whole person flew out sideways.
It's over! I was just waiting for the feeling of freefall as I fell from a great height, when suddenly there was a "pop", accompanied by a sharp impact pain, and I felt as if I had landed, and glanced at the blue-gray rock walls on either side. I was numb and swished, and I wanted to move, but I couldn't use any strength in my limbs.
What's the situation? It doesn't seem to be under a big tree...... I gritted my teeth and raised my head with the last bit of strength, first I saw the huge strange tree behind me, and looking at the space, it seemed that it was still more than ten meters above the ground. I twisted my head again, and in front of me I saw a temple-like stone chamber.
Where is this? My mind seemed to be cut off, and the environment in front of me was both strange and familiar.
I took a few deep breaths, felt a burst of pain in my ribs, and looked down to see that I was still tied up with Wang Xiaoni, after being thrown out just now, it should have been the ground where I landed first, Wang Xiaoni probably just fainted normally, and did not fall injured.
It took almost all my strength to reach out and untie the rope from my body, and then pushed Wang Xiaoni to the side with my head and shoulders to prevent him from suffocating.
I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly I saw the huge ant slowly crawling over from one side.
Although I grew up in the mountains, I have seen a lot of ants, and I have never seen such a big red ant in this fucking place, which is the size of my thumb.
My grandmother once told me that in the mountains and forests, the brighter the color of the insect, the more poisonous it may be, such as poisonous snakes, the most venomous snake in the world is the king cobra, which has colorful skin.
This ant is not only big, but also bright red and bloody, and even faintly reveals a bit of light,! It can't be a poisonous ant in the mountains! Immediately, I felt a thrill all over my body.
The ant leaned towards Wang Xiaoni's head and stopped in front of her neck.
At that time, I wanted to stand up, take off my shoes and shoot it to death, but my legs couldn't exert any strength, and my arms couldn't be lifted again.
Suddenly, an extremely unbearable bitter taste spread through my internal organs, and I couldn't help but shiver, and then I looked down at the red ant, but it was gone.
After being stunned for a moment, I regained my senses and quickly spit. But I vomited a few times and didn't vomit anything. it! My heart suddenly cooled, where are the red ants? No...... I can't eat it in my stomach!
Suddenly I started to get dizzy, and I felt like the whole cave was spinning.
Because of the dim light in the stone room, I only vaguely saw the huge stone statue facing me as if it was smiling at me, and then I felt my head "buzz", and my eyes went dark, and I lost consciousness.
In a daze, I heard crackling footsteps and bursts of crying.
When I opened my eyes, I was lying in a transparent coffin. There were more than a dozen people walking outside the door, both adults and teenagers, I counted them, a total of twelve teenagers, six girls, six boys, and they were followed by five or six adults, one of whom looked very much like Uncle Wang.
The twelve teenagers were almost crying, looking like they were forced into the stone room by the adults behind them.
Soon everyone came up to me.
"Each person chooses a coffin, lies down in the coffin first, and then drinks this thing in!" One of the adults said to the twelve teenagers in a commanding tone.
Twelve people were extremely reluctant and sobbed, but no one resisted.
Suddenly, a girl beside me turned her face, and at first glance, I was shocked, this girl turned out to be Wang Qianmo. Why did Wang Qianmo come to this ancient tomb? Surprised, I wanted to struggle to get up and ask what was going on, but no matter how hard I tried, my body still didn't move, not even my head.
What's going on? I was so anxious that I wanted to shout twice, but I found that no matter how much I shouted, I couldn't make the slightest sound.
What's the situation? In a panic, I glanced around, trying to find Wang Xiaoni, but found that she was not around me. I didn't see Wang Xiaoni, but I accidentally saw a more familiar face, this is a boy in his early tens, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.
Why is this person so familiar? Who is it? My brain spun around several times, and suddenly my scalp seemed to be electrocuted, and my whole body was numb, this person ...... This person turned out to be myself, me Yang Xiaoxie!
How can there be two me? Am I already dead?
After a period of shock, I suddenly calmed down, since my body couldn't move, I used my eyes to observe me and Wang Qianmo outside the coffin, and I found the clue when I looked at it again.
First of all, Wang Xiaoni, she is obviously a lot petite, especially on her chest, Wang Qianmo's body is very well-developed, and there is a pair of proud little white rabbits on her chest, but Wang Qianmo in front of her is an "airport"; Looking at myself, I was also significantly smaller, and thinner.
His gaze suddenly shifted to the clothes of the two of them. it! Why is this dress so peculiar, it is actually a robe, and only the ancients wore such clothes!
What surprised me even more was that I had seen this strange style of clothing somewhere. This dress...... I remembered at once that this dress was exactly what the boy in the coffin was wearing in the stone room filled with red mist!
