Chapter 105: Footprints on the Trunk of a Tree
In the dense vine forest, there was a sudden abnormal sound. Everyone followed the sound and found that on a large tree, there was a row of very clear footprints of the baby's feet.
The deep footprints left on the tree are like carved out of a chisel, and even a child who has cultivated superior martial arts cannot leave such clear footprints as if they were carved. Moreover, the footprints that are deep in the tree extend to the top of the tree, and it is estimated that people who have practiced light exercises and float on the water will not be able to walk straight on the trunk of the tree sideways.
Everyone stood in front of the tree, looking at each other for a long time and did not speak, because they did not know what to say.
Suddenly, Seventh Master Zha began to cut vines to the left again, and it seemed that there was another sound. After the green vines on the left side were cleared, it was found that there were some traces of grass being trampled on the ground, and on the muddy and soft ground, a clear row of small footprints were left, and the circular marks left by each toe were clearly visible, as if a child had just run past here.
Unknown is the most terrifying thing in the world, the surrounding vines, suddenly sounded the sound of horses stadding, everyone immediately put their whole bodies on guard, becoming like grass and trees, the surrounding vines a little wind and grass, they all immediately turned to the place where the sound sounded.
In the distance of the surrounding vine trees, there were constantly various sounds, like the sound of wild boars invading the crops and wantonly destroying. Knowing that danger was approaching, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to continue walking. However, the surrounding vines have completely blocked the way, and can only choose a place that is easier to pass, so unconsciously, it deviates from the track of the mountain.
Dale. The green that covers the sky and the sun has made it impossible for everyone to distinguish between east and west. There are also uphill and downhill slopes. The green vines are like countless green snakes intertwined, dazzling. Psychologically uncomfortable.
Zha Ling'er asked me a little worriedly, "Brother Sven, are we lost?" How can there be so many vines here? ”
What is certain now is that we are absolutely lost, and the green vines that obscure the sky and cover the earth make it impossible to discern the direction at all. And we are like fleas who have unfortunately gotten into the ball of green yarn, with only endless green strips in our eyes, and we don't know where the exit is, and it seems that there are exits everywhere around us. I just can't get out. As for why there are so many green vines in this forest, it is impossible to know.
I've always suspected that I've stepped into the realm of illusion again, but this time it's obviously very different from the feeling of the fence pile illusion. These unbridled green vines are definitely a product of nature.
Without a word, everyone cut down the green vines that covered the way, and slowly, the surrounding green vines began to undergo significant and drastic changes. The brittle green vines that used to break with a single break by hand gradually began to turn into earth-colored dead vines. The sparse remnants of the trees have the taste of dead vines and old trees.
Because of the withering and shrinking vines, the surrounding trees and roads became clear, and everyone straightened up with sore waists. No more cutting down green branches. After looking at the green for a long time, I felt like I wanted to vomit, and now I see the sauce-colored dry bark. There are also earthy yellow old vines without any moisture, and they all feel exceptionally beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
A forest entwined with withered old vines. It resembles a long and narrow valley, surrounded by turquoise arabesques. Surrounded in the center, it stretches into the distance, like a forest path full of dead leaves and branches on an autumn day. I don't know where the unknown leads, but I have to embark on this uncertain path.
This withered road is related to the life and death of everyone, so everyone is on guard, looking around from time to time, and when there is a disturbance, they will stop vigilantly.
Thinking of the baby's footprints on the tree before, the fat man couldn't help but ask me, "Lao Zheng, did you say that the previous one was a ghost footprint." ”
Before I could answer, Zha Ling'er immediately retorted, "How is it possible. Ghosts are all floated to, and they don't leave that kind of footprint. ”
The fat man, who had experienced the terrifying encounter in Kunlun Mountain, couldn't help but recall the blue-faced ghost baby, so he said: "It may be the footprints left by the ghost baby." ”
After hearing the word ghost baby, Zha Ling'er was so shocked that she almost screamed, and immediately took out the white in the backpack and hugged it tightly in her arms to drive away the fear, "What I am most afraid of is the ghost of the child." ”
The fat man looked at Zha Ling'er, whose face was pale and trembling, and immediately laughed and ridiculed her: "I remember that you are not afraid of heaven and earth, but you are afraid that others will speak ill of you in front of your brother Sven." ”
When Zha Ling'er heard the fat man's ridiculous words, she immediately blushed and glanced at me, and then kicked the fat man hard, and the fat man couldn't help grinning in pain.
I wasn't interested in their jokes at all, and I couldn't help but get more and more worried when I glanced at the cigarette man on the fat man's back, and there was no sign of waking up. Then I saw the fat man sweating profusely, so I asked him: "Are you tired, change me for a while." ”
Although the fat man shook his head, the sweat was dripping, so I told everyone to sit down and rest for a while before hurrying.
However, accidents are always waiting for you at the next intersection. As soon as they landed on their buttocks, they heard again the sound of horses' hooves trampling, from far and near, as if a herd of wild horses were rushing towards us. It made the people who were already unsettled feel more and more uneasy.
The sound of wild horses galloping and trampling stopped abruptly when approaching everyone,
The crowd stood up and looked around back to back. But there was nothing else that could move around except dead vines and branches that swayed in the wind.
In the tense air, it seems that clouds can be condensed. But the sound that created such a tense atmosphere came quietly, and it stopped in amazement, as if after playing with everyone, he left satisfied, and he had no intention of showing up from beginning to end.
The green leaves floated on the withered yellow vines, the sweat dripped on the grass-covered black ground, the sweet smell of fruit wafted through the air, and the gurgling roar of hunger rang out wantonly, and everyone who had been in tension couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and their shoulders that had been stiff hung down loosely, and then looked at each other and smiled. Just as everyone was relaxing, suddenly a huge figure fell in front of everyone with a bang.
A green cabbage worm with a body like a gasoline drum fell from the sky and suddenly fell in front of everyone's eyes, blocking the only passage in the old vine forest. (To be continued......)
