I soon came to the top of the stone staircase, but I was immediately startled, this was a cave, surrounded by standing stone figurines, and in the middle of which was a huge towering wooden building, standing in front of my eyes.

Looking at it like this, it seems to be the place that Da Kui once said, and when we look back, the place where we came out is a gap in the corner of the stone wall, which is very hidden, and I don't know how Ansari found it.

Da Kui and He Xiaochen also climbed up, and Da Kui was very surprised when he saw the scene in front of him, and blurted out: "Yes, yes, yes, this is here, Pan Ye is missing here"

I was speechless and said, "Actually, for Pan Ye, it is you who are missing"

Ansari had already run to the wooden building, Zhang Ye followed, we didn't say much, immediately followed, but this wooden building is the same as the stone tower, no doors and no windows, very weird, but in the middle of the position, there is a crack that can accommodate two people, Ansari dodged through the crack and drilled in, and then disappeared.

We followed the fish in, and as soon as we entered, we heard Ansari's voice say from the darkness ahead: "Pay attention to the place under your feet, where there is a white line, there is a mechanism. ”

When he said this, we found many circles drawn with white lines on the ground, and Da Kui identified them and said, "I went to his grandmother's, I fell from here before, and I hid from the white line when I knew there was a white line, and I said, who drew this?" ”

He was muttering there, none of us paid attention to him, who drew it? Mostly Ansari.

We carefully avoided those white lines, walked forward, and found that there was no pavilion in the wooden building at all, the top and bottom were actually straight cylinders, from below you can directly see the highest place, the area of the entire wooden building is about half a football field large, very wide, in the middle of the position there is a tall black shadow, standing in front, flashlight shaking, I saw that the black shadow opened its teeth and claws, it seemed that there were countless arms stretched, like a monster.

Ansari finally stopped ahead, and the white lines on the ground were gone, and we stood beneath the tall black shadow, looking up, and gasped.

It was a huge tree, about a few people hugging it, and as for the height, it was beyond the range of the flashlight, and countless branches stretched out in the darkness, making people almost suffocate at a glance.

Ansari stood ten meters away in front of the tree, looked up and looked up, without saying a word, I was puzzled, and walked up to him and asked: "You brought us here, didn't you say that you saved Lao Pan, where is he?" ”

He pointed up and said, "He's up there, trapped by a branch." ”

"Stuck in a branch? How is it possible, is this a cannibal tree? I was surprised, and Ansari didn't speak, only shrugged slightly.

Zhang Ye quickly glanced at Ansaari, raised his head and shouted a few times, but no one responded, and there were echoes echoing everywhere in the empty wooden building, slowly drifting towards the heights.

"Is Pan Ye really on this?" Zhang Ye asked in a cold voice, Ansari didn't answer, but asked, "Who is the thing you got in Juding just now, come up with me." As he spoke, he stepped forward and climbed up the tree, and began to climb up the tree.

The black box was naturally on me, and when I heard this, I wanted to step forward and climb the tree, but Zhang Ye pulled me, looked at Ansaari's back and whispered, "I'll go first, you follow me." He turned back to Da Kui and said, "Don't go up, wait below." ”

Da Kui opened his mouth to speak, but Zhang Ye had already turned around and jumped onto the tree, moving fast like an ape, and quickly chased after Ansari.

Da Kui was still a little unwilling, and I whispered to him: "The situation above is unknown, let's go up first, you can pay attention here at any time, and help in time if there is a situation." ”

I glanced at He Xiaochen again as I spoke, she didn't speak, she reached out and handed me the short sword, her eyes were fixed on me, I smiled at her, but I didn't answer, and said in a low voice: "It may be dangerous up here, but you may not be safe below, you still keep yourself to protect yourself." ”

She shook her head vigorously and insisted: "Fool, if there is a problem with the branches on this, use an ordinary dagger to cut it constantly, otherwise it is impossible for Pan Ye to be trapped and hold this." ”

I thought about it for a while, then I didn't refuse anymore, took it, nodded to her, and turned around to chase Zhang Ye to climb up the tree.

At this time, Ansari and Zhang Ye had already climbed a very high level, to be honest, it was too thick, there was no focus at all, it should have been difficult to climb, but the bark on this tree was very special, perhaps because it was too old, the bark had bloomed everywhere, like mottled scales, and each piece of bark had a place to grasp and step on, so it was not particularly difficult for this tree to climb.

It's just that this tree is too high, and I carry the black box on my back, and after climbing for a while, I feel powerless, and I think back to the scene when I was chased by those ghost ants to climb the tree during the trip to the Black Water Demon Cave, and I really didn't know where the power came from.

Perhaps it is only in the most critical times that human potential is fully stimulated.

I was in a dilemma, a rope suddenly hung down from the top of my head, it turned out that Zhang Ye had come to the first branch, I was overjoyed to see this, hurriedly grabbed the rope, and quickly climbed up.

This branch is very thick, abruptly stretched out from the tree, a section of several branches bent like hooks, it looks a bit like a huge claw, I sat on the branch and took a breath, then Zhang Ye and climbed up again, and soon came to a height of more than 20 meters.

I remember that Da Kui had said that this wooden building was about 20 meters high, but now it seems that he is talking nonsense at all, we stand on another branch and look overhead, countless branches are intertwined, and we can't see how high it is at all.

And gradually we began to have stretched branches, but the tree seemed to have long since died, and the branches were a dark brown wither, like monster vines, and there was not a single leaf at all.

Ansari was always above us, and suddenly stopped, waiting for Zhang Ye and I to come to the thick branch where he was, and then pointed to the side and said, "There he is." ”

At the end of his finger, there are several curved branches, but they are tightly gathered together, like a clenched palm, and in the palm of the palm is lying a person, only the head is exposed, the body is firmly locked by the branch, the eyes are closed, life and death are unknown.

I was taken aback, this was really Lao Pan, Zhang Ye saw this and immediately turned over his hand and pulled out the short knife, and rushed forward, but was grabbed by Ansaari, and said in a low voice: "It's useless, where is the thing you took out of that giant tripod just now?" ”

I had been prepared, and hurriedly took the black box out of my backpack, but did not hand it to him, and Ansari looked at me, and did not say anything, but ordered: "You put this thing on the ground first, and then retreat, taking care not to get too close." ”

I was full of wonder, but I didn't say much, and carefully walked a few steps up the branch, laid the black box on the ground, and looked up to see that Lao Pan's hair was disheveled, his face was pale, and his mouth was pursed like a dead man.

"Borrow a knife." Ansari suddenly said to Zhang Ye, Zhang Ye immediately handed the short knife in his hand far away, but the other hand touched his waist at the same time, Ansari didn't seem to pay attention to his movements, took the short knife, turned around and walked to the branch, in front of the black box, suddenly knelt down, and bowed three times to the front.

He looked like he was bowing down to Pan, but I knew he was actually worshipping the black box, or the strange tree that trapped Pan.

Seeing that he got up after three prostrations, he suddenly raised his knife and stabbed at the tree, but he only heard a loud sound, and the knife made a sound like hitting the iron stone, and then saw that the branch was unharmed, and Ansari's knife did not stab into it.

I was stunned for a moment, and then thought that this seemed to be normal, this giant tree has grown in the ground for I don't know how many years, presumably the skin of the tree has been stronger than steel, let alone stabbing with a knife, I'm afraid that hitting with a gun will have no effect.

Ansari frowned, and seemed to be helpless for a while, I looked at He Xiaochen's short sword in my hand, hesitated, but handed it to him, and said, "You come and try this." ”

He took the short sword in his hand, only looked at it, but his face changed slightly, he looked up at me, but he didn't say anything, he suddenly turned around, raised the short sword with both hands, and stabbed it hard.

This time it was really extraordinary, only to hear a thud, the short sword instantly pierced into the body of the tree, like a knife piercing tofu, without any hindrance, but at the same time as Ansari stabbed the body of the tree, I suddenly rushed to the giant tree under me, and seemed to shake slightly.

I stretched out my hand to hold the tree, and was slightly stunned, and saw that Ansari had drawn the short sword, and there was a wisp of dark red juice dripping from it, which was dripping on the top of the black box, and then he placed the short sword on the black box, and the blade of the sword was forward, aimed at Lao Pan, and then he took two steps back, and his eyes were fixed on the branch, as if waiting for something to change.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, he seemed to be doing some simple sacrificial ritual, I suddenly regretted a little, thinking to myself that if this Ansari was really a green snake, then weren't we helping him just now?

But Zhang Ye's face remained unchanged, he had already held a short knife in his hand, and narrowed his eyes slightly

"Boom!"

A tremor suddenly came from the tree under him, and at this moment, the branches that locked Lao Pan tightly suddenly and slowly loosened
