After entering the center of Jiguanling, the vegetation is much denser, the surrounding light is a little dim, and the air is filled with a rotten fishy smell.

This is already the territory of the big dragon python, and there are dangers lurking, maybe this big guy may come out at any time.

An inexplicable sense of panic rose in the procession, and everyone was close to each other, looking around.

Ouyang Shui, the leader, is also very uneasy now, he knows that the deeper he goes in the ruins realm, the more dangerous it is, even he himself has never been to this place, at first he was quite confident in this operation, but when he really arrived at the place, he began to mumble in his heart.

Once this person leaves his familiar environment and enters another unfamiliar environment, he will inevitably have a sense of panic about the unknown that follows.

This way, he followed the route pointed out by Wei Liang beside him, and he didn't encounter any danger on the way, but he still couldn't feel at ease, and asked, "Brother Wei Liang, we didn't go in the wrong direction, right? How long will it take to get to the lair of the big dragon python......?" In case the dragon python is not there, then we will not come in vain. ”

In fact, he already had the idea of retreating in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say it too clearly.

Wei Liang turned his head to look at him and snorted, "Are you scared?" If you want to go back, it's still too late, but I can't give you this Essence Pill." "He is sure of Ouyang Shui.

Ouyang Shui's heart was weak, and he hurriedly said: "No, I just want to think that if the big dragon python is really not in the lair, then does our agreement count?"

It was impossible to go back, and if it weren't for the fact that this 'Essence Pill' was priceless and unmarketable, he wouldn't have spent so much money to run to this fateful place.

If you really go back, you won't have to lose 10 million gold coins before you get it, and everyone will doubt his leadership ability at that time, Xiong Shan will undoubtedly take this opportunity to let him step down, this price is too great, he won't do such a stupid thing, and now he can only bite the bullet.

Wei Liang: "If it's really as you said, then it's also your luck, and I'll give you this Essence Pill as well." ”

Ouyang Shui felt a little relieved now, hoping that good luck would befall him, he really didn't dare to face the big dragon python now.

This is when the unexpected happens.

One of the members of the team suddenly tripped over a vine, revealing a dry carrion buried under the rotten leaves, and the man was facing the carrion and screaming in fright.

This exclamation aroused everyone's panic, and the team was obviously confused, and some people who didn't know why thought it was a danger attack, and immediately drew their swords to take precautions.

Then, as the crowd moved, more dead people on the ground were trampled out, one, two...... Countless dead people were exposed, all of them looking like dried corpses, with hollow eyes and shriveled skin, as if they had been sucked dry by something.

The crowd began to lose control, the panic exploded, and one person fled first, only to be the first to flee, only to be caught in a red tendril, the tip of which began to pierce into his skin and burrow into his body, and in a short time his face lost its blood, and his body was drying down at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming one of many dried corpses.

In addition to the screams at the beginning, this person said two words at the last moment: Help me!

However, from the beginning to the end, no one went to save him, and as soon as someone saw the appearance of the thing, they immediately recognized that it was the famous 'blood tree root', which likes to eat the blood of living beings, and kills without seeing blood, and shouted for everyone to run.

There was no unified direction, everyone ran their own way, and for a while there was a mess, and the roots of the blood tree kept emerging from the ground, and some people were preyed.

Ouyang Shui was anxious, and reminded loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, attack with fire, the blood tree roots are afraid of fire!"

This has not yet reached the destination to make it like this, let alone the big dragon python, panic like this when something happens, it is really a group of rabble, it is useless, but you have to bring these people over, even if it is for show, and these people were originally used by him as bait, it is not a pity to die, but it can't all be folded here.

"Yes, with fire, with fire!"

Some people began to take out things that could light a fire and start setting fires, and those who didn't have them just set fire to their clothes and hung them on their weapons and swept around, and finally soon the roots of the blood tree were burned to the ground, and the air was full of a choking smell of smoke.

After this experience, some people began to retreat, wanting to leave, no matter how much money they had, they still had a small life.

Seeing that people's hearts were fluctuating, they couldn't stop it, Ouyang Shui was so anxious that he burned his eyebrows, if he really let people leave, I'm afraid that none of those recruited would stay, even his own subordinates would not be able to stay.

At this time, Wei Liang directly grabbed a person who was leaving, twisted his neck, and said coldly: "Whoever dares to go, this is the end!"

There were a few unconvinced members of the Blue Steel Realm and the Blue Bronze Realm who jumped out to resist, and the result was conceivable, only to see Wei Liang's afterimage flickering, and in an instant, several heads separated.

Sure enough, it still takes iron-blooded means to deter different people's hearts, no one says that they want to leave, they all honestly follow forward, although no one is voluntary, but there is no way, leaving now is to die immediately, stay or have a chance to live, after all, the strength of the people is there, you can't help it.

Xiong Gang said worriedly: "Big brother, what if Ouyang Shui wants to kill us with this manpower after the matter is completed?"

Seeing the ruthlessness of this masked man with his own eyes, he had palpitations, just now he was also one of the people who wanted to leave, fortunately Xiong Shan stopped him, otherwise he would probably become a tool for others to stand up.

Xiong Shan can't help it, it's still the same sentence, "Take one step at a time." ”

Luo Xiao, who was following behind, heard that there was movement in front of him, so he rushed over to check, in order to guard against Wei Liang, he was far away, and the matter was over, only to see the mess all over the ground, corpses everywhere, and he was also startled, and his scalp was numb.

"What's going on? Why are there so many corpses? Are those people planted here?"

Then he walked into the entrance to check, and found that there were only about thirty new corpses, and the rest were dead for a long time, and he tore off a tree root that had not been burned out from the new corpse, and knew what was going on, "I didn't expect there to be such a ghost thing as a blood tree root here." ”

"What's going on? Are these people killing each other?" he wondered when he saw the headless corpses and the heads scattered around.

At that moment a hurricane swooped down from above, and a large bird landed in front of him, it was Gorman and his mount, the dog crow, and just a moment earlier she saw the smoke rising from this side, and rushed towards it.

Seeing the person in front of him, Gao Man's eyes sank slightly, "Why are you here?"

I'll take a look, what kind of trouble is this, how can this woman appear here? If you don't come early or late, why do you come at this time, do you want to be so coincidental, it's over, this will be reasonable and can't be explained, hesitated for a moment, really couldn't find the right words, nonsense: "You haven't appeared for more than two months, I really can't wait, so I came to you, I also found that there is movement here to check, I didn't expect to meet you, what a coincidence." ”

Gao Man slowly approached, looking directly at the other party, "Looking for me? Are you sure?" obviously didn't believe Luo Xiao's nonsense, he was the only one looking for a prisoner, and no prisoner had taken the initiative to find him.

Luo Xiao's gaze wandered, "I...... I'm sure. Feeling the majesty and pressure from those phoenix eyes, he said very unconfidently.

Gorman had already determined that this person was pure, and she didn't come here to talk to him, so she turned to look at the corpse on the ground, and her tone sank, "You did all this?"

How could it be possible to admit what he hadn't done, Luo Xiao said decisively: "Of course not, how could I do such a thing? They were already dead when I came." ”

She checked the traces around her, judging from her years of experience in handling cases, she probably knew what was going on here, and she could rule out Luo Xiao's suspicion.

And the posture and direction of these corpses falling to the ground are the same, they should have been killed by someone at the same time in an instant, ordinary people can't do this level, she suspects that the black dog did it.

Unquestioningly, "Tell me everything you know, or I will treat you as covering up the sin and punishing the murderer with the same crime." ”
