Duan Hou bit the short sword in his mouth, blood continued to ooze out of his dancing fingertips, and strange runes were soon written all over the square of the body of the Dead Man's Tree. The distorted runes flashed with bursts of red light, brightening Lu Qingshuang's face, and she saw that Yang Jun's action of being devoured seemed to slow down, and her speed slowed down.

Duan Hou stopped his movements, and the tree was densely covered with red runes written in blood, but Lu Qingshuang saw it at this time, Duan Hou was actually standing there and was stunned, and he seemed to be talking to someone.

"Duan, what are you doing? Who are you talking to? Lu Qingshuang quickly ran to Duan Hou's side, she looked left and right, but she couldn't see those hidden objects at all because of the suppressed ghost pupils.

"It's nothing, I'm going to start, if Yang Jun falls out in a while, you can quickly pull him out." Duan Hou hurriedly turned his face to Lu Qingshuang again.

Although Lu Qingshuang felt strange in her heart, she didn't ask too many questions, just wondered why Duan Hou suddenly looked at her eyes very nervously. Then, he suddenly relaxed, could it be that there was something to hide from himself? Lu Qingshuang thought so, but now that Yang Jun's entire body had been devoured, only one head was still in the air, and now was not the time to pursue Duan Hou's strange actions.

Duan Hou came to the Dead Man's Tree, he took out the short sword that was bitten in his mouth, and looked at Lu Qingshuang on the side with a hesitant look. Then he took out a piece of white rune paper from his pocket, the white paper was not a complex rune, but a 'pole' word, Lu Qingshuang glanced at the rune strangely. The white rune paper, Duan Hou had never mentioned it to her, and the only word on it looked very weird.

I only saw Duan Hou roll the white rune paper on the handle of the short sword, and the blood groove on the sword body immediately lit up with a red light, which was the blood that Duan Hou had just smeared on it.

Without a trace of hesitation, Duan Hou raised the short sword in his hand and thrust it into the body of the dead man's tree, and then he slashed hard, and a hole tens of centimeters long was torn open.

"Uh~~~Ah~~Uh~~" The whole tree began to shake, the black leaves brushed down, and a piercing scream came from the cracked hole in the tree to the ears of the two. The opening was like a big mouth of blood, and the bright red blood flowed out like the twist of the faucet.

The smell of fishy and smelly blood stimulated Lu Qingshuang's five organs churned, and she held back the churning in her body and came to the side of the big tree, because she saw that Yang Jun's upper body had fallen out of the tree, except for the position below the waist was still stuck in the tree. "Quick~" Duan Hou also began to urge at this time, his appearance looked painful, the short sword was deeply inserted into the body of the tree, and even his palm seemed to be brought in.

Lu Qingshuang struggled to pull Yang Jun's two hands, his body was slowly being pulled out of the tree, and the blood splattered directly onto Lu Qingshuang's face. An originally beautiful face looked like a ghost who had crawled out of hell at this time, and she was a little weak from the smell of blood.

But she understands that if she lets go at this time, then she may never see Yang Jun again. Lu Qingshuang put one foot against a thick tree root, and then pulled hard with resistance, Yang Jun's body was pulled out, and at the same time, the inertia caused her body to fall backwards.

Yang Jun's body fell heavily on the dirt in front of him, and the blood flowing on the soil was splashed high. Lu Qingshuang came to Yang Jun's side and examined it carefully, except for the back of his head where he was hit by a hard object, there were no other wounds, and at this time, he was only unconscious because of a little too much blood loss.

Lu Qingshuang breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Jun was fine. "Great, Yang Jun is fine. Duan, you—" However, she stopped halfway through her words when she made eye contact with Duan Hou.

Lu Qingshuang saw that Duan Hou's entire arm had been swallowed by the body of the tree, and the dead man's tree didn't know when, but it had stopped screaming, and the cracked hole had healed.

"No..." Lu Qingshuang struggled to get up and ran to Duan Hou's side, she pulled Duan Hou's body hard as if she was crazy, and then she clearly saw that not only her arm, but also one leg of her lower body had been swallowed up. His body was like being caught by a huge pair of pliers, and no matter how hard Lu Qingshuang tried, he couldn't pull a single penny.

"Qingshuang, it's useless, it's fate." Duan Hou looked at the girl in front of him with a wry smile.

"Bullshit, how can you leave me, you can't leave me. I'm going to save you, I'm going to save you out... You can't give up on your own. ”

"I can't live without you" Lu Qingshuang couldn't control her emotions anymore, and the big tears fell down and dripped on Duan Hou's other arm, and the warm tears slowly became cold on his arm.

"I've used up my mana, actually, I knew this ending when I came. That's why I didn't tell you because" Duan Hou stretched out his only left hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for the girl he loved, his heart was very painful, he let this girl who liked him shed so many tears for himself.

Lu Qingshuang shook her head desperately, her face flushed, and she grabbed Duan Hou's arm hard. "How can you be so selfish, how can you, me"

Duan Hou kept wiping the girl's tears, and his expression slowly melted into a happy smile. "Qingshuang, I actually like you very much."

Lu Qingshuang sobbed, her trachea contracted because of crying made her a little speechless, and she could only watch her beloved in front of her being slowly eaten by a damn tree. "You're a good girl, I don't know when I found out I was in love with you. But I don't dare to tell you, sometimes, I envy those ordinary students who can fall in love vigorously I'm sorry, I can't protect you anymore. ”

Speaking of which, even a strong man, Duan Hou shed tears at this moment. From his expression, you can see that he can't help but endure his emotions, his lips are shaking, and the weakness in his heart has knocked down his strength.

"I love you" After speaking, Duan Hou's hand wrapped around Lu Qingshuang's slender waist, his mouth gently touched the girl's thin cherry lips, and the slight salty taste dotted the tip of his tongue, he knew that it was the girl's tears. Salty, yes, because that's the droplets that fall because they're full of emotion.

Lu Qingshuang was speechless, she didn't know what mood she should use to welcome this love that was about to leave her, and the kiss warmed her heart. But in just a dozen seconds, the man's lips left his own, Duan Hou's body had been completely swallowed up, only one head was still in the air, and there was a happy smile on his face, and there was no trace of regret in sight.

He didn't tell Lu Qingshuang, in fact, this result was supposed to happen to Yang Jun, which was his fate, but he didn't want his friend to lose his life in front of him because of the word fate. So as he finished writing those runes from the Tree of the Dead, he heard a voice.

…

"I can help you." A voice came into his ears so suddenly.

But when Duan Hou looked closely, this voice seemed to appear in his heart again, and he tried to ask in his own heart, "Who are you?" ”

"Yi Sheng!"

"It's you, why are you in this place?" Duan Hou asked strangely.

"It was I who asked the boy for help, and I could say that I brought this robbery to him. If you want to save him, I can help you, but the price is that you will die. ”

The voice was emotionless, and even if death came out of his mouth, it was like a narrative of an event. "Dead? I've expected this, but I'm not willing to die and be used by this tree. ”

"But you don't have a choice, do you? You don't have time, and if that boy's body is completely devoured, no amount of effort will save his life. Yi Sheng replied calmly to Duan Hou.

Glancing at the girl in front of him, and then at Yang Jun, who had been swallowed by the big tree and only had one head left, Duan Hou gritted his teeth: "Help me." ”

…

Raising his eyes and glancing at the girl in front of him, Duan Hou was really distressed, but he didn't seem to feel his heart. "You have to be strong and live well."

…

As soon as Yang Tian got off the long-distance bus, he didn't care about the luggage he still put on the car, and ran towards the mountain behind the school with the photo of the four people in his hand. When he was in the car just now, he clearly saw that Yang Jun's figure had become clear, but when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw that Duan Hou's figure had been completely blurred, and at this time, only one of his faces was in his hand, and Duan Hou's body in the photo had completely disappeared.

The feeling of uneasiness grew heavier and heavier, as if a big rock was pressing on his heart, especially when he arrived at school, and the sky, which was different from other places, was hitting his head like a stick.

His steps were fast, and no matter how others shouted at him along the way, he only had in his heart, hurry to the side of those people.

But when he came to the back mountain and could see the dead man's tree, there was a scene that he would never forget. Yang Jun seemed to be lying on the ground unconscious, and the face of the person who worried him was actually attached to the body of the big tree, and just as he was about to walk in, that face was buried in the big tree... It's gone.
