Chapter 35: The Bone Branch
The trunk of the banyan tree in front of me was about five feet in diameter, and Liang Ruoyi and I walked around and didn't find anything special on the trunk.
"Let's go back." I proposed.
"Do you think there's anything unusual around you?" Liang Ruoyi opened his mouth and asked.
I shook my head and subconsciously touched the back of my head: "Nothing abnormal. ”
Liang Ruoyi answered, but took out a hundred blood stone and stuffed it into his mouth, turned around and climbed directly towards the tree.
I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What are you doing?!" What can be in the tree? Hurry up and get out, you didn't hear any movement in the trees just now! ”
"Didn't you notice it?" Liang Ruoyi stopped moving, looked down at me and asked.
I frowned, "What, what?" ”
"The feeling of weightlessness just now, with the key in your hand, you haven't come to any conclusions?" Liang Ruoyi continued to ask, with a hint of contempt in his tone.
"No, there's no conclusion!" I thought about it for a second, and I really didn't come to any conclusion: "Except that the key is unusually heavy." ”
"So you're stupid!" Liang Ruoyi took a sip of me: "The key in your hand is not a stone at all, how can there be such a heavy stone in the world, it is a metal product, as for what kind of metal, I can't say for a while." ”
I nodded, still confused: "So, and then?" ”
"And then there's the first cave, which is gold." Liang Ruoyi said, pointing to the huge banyan tree in front of him and said, "This second cave entrance is wood!" Block 3 ......"
I instantly understood, and interrupted Liang Ruoyi's words: "The third cave mouth counts the water, and behind it is fire and earth!" ”
"That's right." The ice beauty gave me a blank look: "This cave is divided according to the five elements. ”
"But there are six holes!"
"The last one is where the coffin is placed!" Liang Ruoyi was a little impatient: "So I think there should be something in each of these caves that can be used later." ”
I nodded, feeling that what Liang Ruoyi said was still very reasonable. Could it be that there is a key of different material in each cave opening, which can open Li Longji's empty tomb in the last cave?
Liang Ruoyi ignored me after saying that, turned around and continued to climb up. I thought to myself that it would be safer to stay below than to follow Liang Ruoyi, and besides, climbing trees is a skill I have cultivated since I was a child, so it is naturally not a problem.
After thinking about it, I also tied the flashlight to my wrist and climbed up after Liang Ruoyi.
Liang Ruoyi climbed very quickly, and in less than a minute, she climbed the lowest branch, turned her head to look at me, and continued to walk up.
By the time I gasped and climbed up to the lowest branch, Liang Ruoyi was already submerged in the huge canopy above me, and I could only hear the sound of crawling, and I couldn't see anyone.
I sat on the branches of the trees and looked at the large, dense canopy of trees that was pitch black and couldn't even be seen by the light of a flashlight.
"I'll be waiting for you below!" I'm not going to go up, I don't know if there are any bugs or even snakes in this canopy, so I'm not going to risk going up.
Liang Ruoyi did not reply, but continued to climb up.
I sat on a branch and drank some water, when I suddenly heard a voice above me that seemed to be getting closer and closer, as if Liang Ruoyi had come down. I hurriedly stuffed the water in my hand back into my backpack, and when I looked up, a chill hit the back of my head!
In the darkness, a black face was less than a foot away from the tip of my nose, and its facial features were blurred, with only a rough outline - it turned out to be a black-faced corpse, and I don't know when and where it came from!
"Ahh Get lost! I screamed, instinctively grabbing the trunk and climbing up. And the black-faced corpse was also taken aback by me, it is estimated that it was far away from me before, and I didn't feel the unique aura on my body, but I noticed it at this time, and I didn't dare to catch up, my body shook, and I didn't know where to run.
"Beauty?! Where are you?! I asked aloud as I climbed up.
The sound of chattering in the darkness above my head never stopped, but Liang Ruoyi still didn't answer, and I didn't think much about it, and continued to climb towards it.
When he was almost halfway up, a silver light suddenly flashed around him, and something fell from it, and after a few seconds, it fell to the ground with a "click".
I was stunned: if I'm not mistaken, the thing that fell just now was Liang Ruoyi's short blade!
"Hello?! Are you okay?! I screamed, but my heart became more and more anxious, at this time, the coolness in the back of my head has always existed, it is estimated that Liang Ruoyi has encountered a black-faced corpse! This black-faced corpse is numb when touched, Liang Ruoyi has no short blade, how can he be defeated?!
I quickly climbed up to the top, and soon saw a figure jumping from the top of the canopy, and all around me, there was a constant sound of whispering.
"Ice Beauty!" I muttered to myself, and saw that the person jumping on the canopy was Liang Ruoyi, and knowing that she was fine, my heart was much more settled, and the sound of Xi Xi from time to time around me should be the black-faced corpse.
In the panic, my flashlight shone wildly in the dark, looking for the shadow of the black-faced corpse.
"Gu Rui, come up! There's something in the middle of the trunk that you take with you! Liang Ruoyi saw me coming up and suddenly shouted softly to me.
In the middle of the trunk? I was stunned for a moment, and then I knew that Liang Ruoyi was attracting the attention of the black-faced corpse and asked me to find an opportunity to get something.
I didn't dare to respond, and after finding the position in the center of the trunk with the flashlight in my hand, I quickly turned it into a near-low light, and slowly slid down with a branch in both hands.
The trunk was not far below me, and I carefully slid down in the darkness with a few branches, and soon stood on the thick trunk.
Looking down, the branches were so thick that they were simply connected, and the canine teeth were intertwined, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
I hurriedly leaned down, took a flashlight and shone it in, and finally saw a gray-white branch hanging under a cloud of branches!
In the darkness, I didn't have time to see clearly, so I leaned on the trunk of the tree and reached in to get the branch. With this side of my body, my head could catch a glimpse of Liang Ruoyi at the top of the tree. I saw two black shadows attacking Liang Ruoyi, it should be two black-faced corpses. It's just that Liang Ruoyi didn't have a short blade, and he didn't dare to resist these two black-faced corpses for a while, so he could only keep dodging, and there was not much solid focus on the top of the tree at all, and after a few rounds, Liang Ruoyi seemed to stumble and couldn't hold on!
"Hey! Hurry up, I'm going down! Liang Ruoyi snorted softly and began to walk down the two black-faced corpses.
I answered, but my arm was stuck between several branches, and I couldn't advance or retreat for a while, and I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, sweating profusely. I hurriedly turned my eyes back at Liang Ruoyi, took a flashlight to shine it, found a suitable angle, pulled my arm out, and then found a more suitable hole and stretched it in.
This time, I touched the white branch very smoothly, and at the moment of touching, the tentacle was numb, and the whole right arm that reached into it was soft. I couldn't help but shudder, stabilized my mind, grabbed the branch, and slowly took it out.
"Whew......" I let out a sigh of relief and glanced at the branch in my hand: this branch still made me feel a tingling in my hand at this time, and a terrifying coolness that seemed to pierce my heart.
The whole branch is gray-white, about a foot long, two fingers thick, just now it looks no different from a branch, but now it doesn't look like a branch at all, but a skeleton of an animal!
I shuddered at the thought of this, frowning at this bone branch, not knowing what it was for.
After being stunned for a while, I suddenly felt that the sound of Xi Xi was gone, and I hurriedly stuffed the white bone branch into my backpack, turned my head to look at the top of the tree, but found that Liang Ruoyi and the two black-faced corpses were gone!
