Li Huiyan and I climbed onto the altar at the same time, and only then did we see the shape of the altar clearly.

The altar is round in shape, about a zhang in diameter, and each stone slab on it is carved with some intricate and unfamiliar characters, in addition to some more obscure symbols.

Looking at the ancient characters carved on the stone slab of the altar like the Book of Heaven, I suddenly felt a little big, there are not ten kinds of ancient characters that I have learned in school, but there are eight kinds of them, but they just don't match these words on the altar.

"My guess is that these are the words and runes that were used for sacrifices in ancient times, and they are not the same as those that have been handed down throughout history and can be used by civilians. Texts like this have always been in the hands of a few, and are generally understood only by the priests in charge of sacrifices. Li Huiyan saw my stunned expression, thought about it and said.

"So, do you recognize these words?" Hearing Li Huiyan say this, I immediately understood, and asked rhetorically.

These words, which were only in the hands of a few people, were lost with the change of dynasties, and it is impossible to understand them again, and even if someone finds these words in archaeology, they can only guess their meaning.

"I don't understand it either." Li Huiyan shook her head, and then continued with some sadness: "If my grandfather hadn't had an accident, maybe he would have been able to understand these words, my grandfather has a deep study of ancient characters." ”

That is no way, hearing Li Huiyan's answer, I suddenly lost interest in the words carved on these altars.

I saw Li Huiyan take out her mobile phone in the pocket of her clothes, and then put it back with a disappointed face.

"My phone is dead in the water, and I can't take pictures." Li Huiyan said with some regret.

I didn't speak, and at this moment my gaze had taken my eyes off the words on the altar slab and was drawn to something other odd.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the altar beneath our feet seems to be a little rough, and the stones do not fit together perfectly, but there are many thumb-wide gaps.

As far as the eye could see, countless twisted crimson roots stretched out from these crevices, covering almost the entire altar.

The roots of the tree get smaller and smaller as they reach the ends, and eventually become a spike.

Faintly, I could see holes the size of a grain of rice in the spikes formed by the roots of the tree.

It was the first time I had seen roots of this color, and I felt a little novel, so I immediately crouched down and touched one of them with my hand.

Just as my fingers touched the roots, something unexpected happened.

As soon as my fingers touched the roots, the roots, which had been quietly attached to the stone slab of the altar, twisted slightly as if they were alive, and then retracted into the cracks in the stone with great speed.

This strange scene immediately startled me, I didn't expect these roots to be sentient.

"It's strange how the roots of this tree can still move." I muttered.

Seeing this scene, Li Huiyan also squatted down curiously, and stretched out her hand to another tree root just now.

The ending is naturally self-evident, as soon as Li Huiyan's fingers touched the root of the tree, the root of the tree retracted into the crack in the stone as if frightened.

"What is this?" Li Huiyan asked me.

"I don't know." I shook my head and replied.

I've never seen anything like this before, and I have the impression that only mimosas can have this kind of thinking ability, but I know that the two are completely different.

I couldn't think of a reason for it, so I simply stopped thinking about it, anyway, since we got off the train, we have encountered more bizarre and strange things, and this one is not bad.

Because I didn't know what these roots were, I reminded Li Huiyan not to touch them again.

Since these roots appear on this altar, they must have something to do with the altar.

The more this is the case, the more caution should be taken.

Retracting my gaze from these strange tree roots, I remembered that Xiao Yue was still stuffed in the wooden coffin at this time, and secretly cursed that I should die, and hurriedly stepped forward to prepare to open the wooden coffin.

But at this moment, the altar under his feet suddenly moved slightly, and then the roots of the trees that were originally wrapped around the stone slabs suddenly moved.

Before I could react, the roots were wrapping around my legs at a great speed.

At the same time, I heard Li Huiyan's exclamation in my ears, and when I looked up, I saw that she was in the same situation as me, and her legs were entangled by these suddenly alive roots.

There was a sudden stinging pain in my legs, and the roots of the trees, when they reached the thighs, no longer climbed up, but suddenly plunged into my legs with their sharp spikes.

After the initial pain, I felt a tingling sensation in my thigh, which I remembered when I was taking a blood sample from a nurse when I had a full body check-up at school.

As soon as I figured it out, I changed dramatically, and if I allowed these roots to suck blood from me, I was afraid that it would not take me more than a moment to suck me dry.

I quickly reached out and pulled out two of the roots that had been stuck in my legs. Before I could breathe a sigh of relief after pulling out the roots, two more roots were stuck in my legs, and they continued to greedily suck my blood.

Seeing that these things were like maggots on the tarsal bones, I was in a hurry, and I picked up a piece of rubble from the altar and smashed it down at the roots.

There was a muffled sound, and the roots, which seemed to be no more than the thickness of a little thumb, were so tough that I struck three or four times in a row to break one of them.

And at the same time that the roots of the tree were broken by me, something even more incredible happened, only to see that the broken roots of the tree were broken by me, and blood kept flowing outward.

The blood was exactly the same color as the human body, and it also had a fishy sweet smell, the only difference was that there was a hint of rancid smell mixed with this fishy sweet smell.

A moment later, when the blood in the roots of the tree was completely drained, the strange crimson roots quickly withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into black ashes in an instant.

I didn't have time to enjoy the spectacle, and the rubble in my hand fell faster, and in the blink of an eye I broke five roots again.

"Ah......" Li Huiyan's panicked voice came again, and her legs were wrapped around the roots of the tree, and she was so frightened that she was so frightened at the moment.

"Li Huiyan, smash the roots of the tree with stones." Coincidentally, there happened to be a fist-sized piece of gravel beside me, so I quickly picked it up and handed it to her and said.

Li Huiyan took the stone, and before she even had time to say thank you, she hurriedly squatted down and smashed those tree roots.

After about four or five minutes, Li Huiyan and I were sweating profusely and breathing a sigh of relief, and all the roots of the trees wrapped around our legs were broken by us with stones.

At this time, the feet of the two of us were completely stained red by the blood flowing from the roots of the tree, and the extremely fishy smell made people a little dizzy.

Xiao Yue ...... Zhang Sansan, let's hurry up and save Xiao Yue! ”

I had just breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to throw away the stone in my hand when I heard Li Huiyan's exclamation again.

Save Xiao Yue? Hearing this, I just wanted to say that Xiao Yue was not lying in the wooden coffin with a good look, but when I turned my head and saw it, I was immediately speechless.

I saw that the strange roots sticking out of the cracks in the stone had crawled all over the entire wooden coffin at this time, and the dense roots made people's scalps numb, and the whole wooden coffin seemed to be dyed red.

I saw that some of the roots of the trees were penetrating through the cracks in the lid of the wooden coffin, and I could not imagine what it would be like to be inside the coffin.

Seeing this scene, I didn't dare to hesitate at all, and rushed out of the same place as soon as possible, and Li Huiyan was faster than me, and she had already run over almost when she reminded me loudly.

There was another thud, and after Li Huiyan and I smashed all the roots wrapped around the wooden coffin, the two of them sat on the ground exhausted, not caring about the stinky blood flowing from the roots all over the ground.

I glanced at the roots of the trees on the altar that had been smashed by me and Li Huiyan, and I felt a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe.

That's right, Xiao Yue!

I suddenly remembered Xiao Yue lying in the wooden coffin, and those tree roots took the opportunity to drill through the cracks in the wooden coffin before, and I didn't know what happened to Xiao Yue at this time.

I stood up with exhaustion, walked to the front of the wooden coffin, took out the four copper nails, and gently lifted the lid of the coffin.

In the wooden coffin, Xiao Yue was still as peaceful as when I was put in it before, as if she had just fallen asleep.

I stretched out my hand and tested her nose, although the snort was still weak, but there was still breathing, perhaps because of the aggravation of the corpse poison, Xiao Yue's face at this time was a little faintly dark, and the situation did not look optimistic.

Just as I was about to close the lid again, two inconspicuous holes in Xiao Yue's neck caught my attention.

With these two small holes as the center, Xiao Yue's faintly blackened skin actually had an area with a diameter of one centimeter showing a normal skin ruddy color.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, I couldn't help but muttered to myself.

Li Huiyan heard my voice talking to herself, thinking that Xiao Yue was doing something, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

I showed her what I had found.

"Zhang three years, Xiao Yue may be saved." After careful observation, Li Huiyan immediately became a little excited and said to me.

I didn't understand what she meant, and I was at a loss.

"These two wounds should have been caused by the roots of the trees that got into the wooden coffin just now, although I don't know why, but it is certain that these roots have the effect of restraining the poison of the corpse" Seeing that I didn't understand, Li Huiyan said again.

"What? Can these roots restrain the poison of the corpse? Hearing this, I was immediately overjoyed, and secretly said that there is no endless road.

It's just that after a short period of excitement, Li Huiyan and I fell into a dilemma again.

It's true that these strange roots can restrain corpse poison, but how do you use them? It's impossible to use the spikes at the end of these tree roots to fill Xiao Yue's whole body with small holes, right?

After the crisis just now, we all know the strangeness and horror of these roots.

If these tree roots were allowed to penetrate Xiao Yue's body, I was afraid that the corpse poison on her body would not be cured by then, and the blood on her body would have already been sucked dry.

For a while, Li Huiyan and I were in a dilemma.
