Chapter 45: The Giant Tree in the Tomb
I don't know why, when Wang Xiaoni just rushed in with a torch, she was still like a heroic female warrior, but after coming out of the coffin, the whole person seemed to have recovered from a serious illness, her face was pale, and after being attacked by a few red-haired monkey spirits, she didn't have the slightest ability to resist.
All the way, I almost dragged her away.
"Xiao Ni ......"
As I ran, I called her name, and she didn't answer. Looking back at her, I was shocked, at this time, Wang Xiaoni's face did not have a trace of blood, her face was half-open, and she was a little confused.
I realized that Wang Xiaoni was not quite right, but in this case, I didn't dare to stop casually, so I dragged Wang Xiaoni and ran in the direction where the gunshots came.
After running a few hundred meters along the left-facing cemetery, I suddenly saw a white flower at the end of the cemetery, which seemed to be light!
I estimated that this breath ran at least 1,500 meters, and the terrain is getting lower and lower, how can there be fifty or sixty meters from the ground at this time, how can there be light in such a deep position?
I have taken life science, not only some plants have phototropism, people and animals are actually the same, seeing the light in the distance of the tomb, I was happy in my heart, and simply carried Wang Xiaoni on her back and rushed towards the light source.
In fact, I was already exhausted at the time, and the last distance was all about the fear of danger behind me and the desire to survive after seeing the light source.
As I got closer and closer to the light source, I gradually realized that the so-called light source was actually a huge stone door, and the light came in from behind the door. I couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in my heart, could this be the exit of the ancient tomb?
When I thought about it, I suddenly felt more energetic.
When I was less than fifty meters away from the stone gate, I could see clearly that the stone gate was very bright, as if there was a huge tree. I almost cried when I saw a tree, and if there was a tree, it meant that I was about to leave the tomb.
When I was less than twenty meters away from the stone gate, several more gunshots rang out, and the sound actually came from outside the stone gate.
Maybe it's because I've been bitten by a snake for a year and I'm afraid of the well rope for ten years! Hearing the gunshots, I was stunned for a moment, is it still dangerous to leave the ancient tomb? After a moment's hesitation, I walked out of the stone gate again.
As soon as I stepped out of the stone gate, I first saw the huge tree in front of me.
This is a strange tree, I think I grew up in the mountains, I have seen many tree species, but I have never seen such a tree in front of me. The tree is about 40 meters high, the crown is as thick as ten people hugging each other, and the branches and leaves are actually vine-like, each of which is more than ten meters long, looking like a grass snake hanging down from the sky.
What kind of tree is this? I muttered quietly.
Looking further, I realized that I had been happy too early, this was a very strange place, which looked like a canyon, and there was a gap less than a meter wide overhead, and I could see the sky outside, and this is how the light was transmitted.
It looked like it was still underground, and there was just a crack in the rocks overhead.
Looking further, I was shocked to see that there were two mutilated dead people lying more than ten meters away in front of the big tree, surrounded by bloodstains.
Not good! Uncle Wang, I'm afraid something has happened!
Wang Xiaoni has been lying on my back, the whole person is soft, and her breathing has gradually become calmer from shortness.
I wanted to put her down leaning against the trunk of the tree and then go ahead to see what was going on.
Before I could let go, Wang Xiaoni actually spoke: "Little evil, don't ...... Don't go any further...... Dangerous. ”
The sound is like a gossamer.
Dangerous? When I looked again, I saw a few people rushing from afar, it was Uncle Wang and Lao Huang.
Look at the way they look, and turn back every few steps, as if something is chasing them behind them.
"They...... They're coming, hurry up...... Hurry up and climb the tree ......."
"Why?" I asked incomprehensibly.
"First...... Climb up first!! ”
When Wang Xiaoni was a lonely ghost, she should have wandered in this strange ancient tomb more than once, and she should know everything here. I glanced at the strange tree beside me, with a bumpy trunk and many horizontal branches, I have been good at climbing trees since I was a child, and it should not be difficult to climb up.
Fortunately, before going down to the yin cave, Lao Huang asked us to prepare a rope for each of us. I folded the rope in half a few times, then stopped Wang Xiaoni and I by the waist, reminded her to put her arms around my neck, and climbed up the tree.
Before climbing the tree, I took another look, Uncle Wang, they were about 1,500 meters away from this big tree, and they were still desperately running this way, I looked behind them, and there seemed to be nothing!
Take a closer look,! My scalp was tingling, and I faintly saw a red patch of ground following them not far behind.
With the previous experience, I had a hairy feeling in my heart again - that red ground should be a bug in the ancient tomb!
Startled, I felt strong again, took a deep breath, and climbed up desperately.
Because of carrying Wang Xiaoni on her back, it took a lot of effort, and when I looked down, I saw that it was only five or six meters from the ground, and then I looked at Uncle Wang and them, they were already very close to the big tree. They should have also seen me and Wang Xiaoni, Lao Huang kept gesturing at me, shouting something in his mouth, combined with gestures, I understood what he meant. He's yelling at me to hurry up and climb up.
Almost at the same time, I heard a strange sound, as if hundreds or thousands of people were grinding their teeth together, coming from behind them. I don't know what it is, but when I look at the reactions of a few people, I know it must be dangerous. I crawled on my hands and feet again, and my clothes and arms were scratched in many places, and I didn't care about it for a while, and I didn't even feel pain.
It was really inconvenient to climb the tree with Wang Xiaoni on my back, and when I rested again, I looked down and saw that it was only a dozen meters from the ground. Uncle Wang and the others had already run under the big tree, and at this time, I could see clearly what the red "land" was, which turned out to be countless red centipedes half a meter long.
These centipedes are not only large, but also have a peculiar appearance, with a pair of horn-like things on their foreheads and a pair of wings on their backs, but they don't look like they're well developed and can't be used.
Uncle Wang, Lao Huang, they gasped and urged me to climb up quickly, and they themselves went up the tree. At this time, I noticed that there were only Uncle Wang, Lao Huang, Master Mingyue, Captain Zhang, and one of his subordinates under the big tree.
Is everyone else dead? I was stunned, took a deep breath, and continued to climb up.
As soon as I climbed a few meters, I felt Wang Xiaoni tugging on my neck and her legs clamping my waist at the same time.
"Xiao Ni...... What are you doing?"
Wang Xiaoni panted and replied, "Yes...... It's the tree, it's the branches of this big tree that pull me ......"
Tree? I felt more force pulling behind my back, so I quickly hugged the thick branch of a leg with both hands, and when I turned around, I saw a vine hanging from the tree wrapped around Wang Xiaoni's thigh, trying to pull her down.
