84_84070 may be a curiosity, we were going to go out of the mountain, but we were attracted by a path that suddenly appeared between the cliffs, after climbing over, it was Ansari who jumped down, turned over his hand and took out a flashlight, and a bright light suddenly illuminated the dark place of the dark cliff.

I saw that this path was dark throughout, mixed with many protruding stones in the middle, and the pimples spread out among the mountains, extending upward, until it was dozens of meters away before it gradually blurred, and it looked very strange.

Li Dong and I also jumped down, and when we got closer, I found that this did not seem to be a road, but that there were some lines that looked like an old tree between the rocks.

Looking further, I became more and more sure of my opinion, this should be a dead old tree, just fallen on the mountain, over time, the old tree rotted, revealing the rocks below, intertwined with each other, so from a distance, it looked like a mountain road.

I found that it was not a mountain road, and I didn't think it was any better, so I asked them to leave together, and the sky was getting darker and darker, and even in the shade of this cliff, I had to turn on the flashlight to see the road clearly, and if it was a while, I am afraid it would be even more difficult to get out of the mountain.

Ansari, however, seemed to have discovered something at this time, and he walked up the dead old tree, shining his flashlight on the side of the cliff, and suddenly turned back to us and whispered, "Come here." ”

Li Dong and I hurriedly walked over, and saw Ansari pointing at a place with a flashlight, and when I looked closely, it was actually a hole in the ground, and it was black, and there was a damp and moldy smell coming from inside, and faintly, there seemed to be a strange sound.

"What is this, Tree Hole?"

"It should be, there are many such dark holes in the mountains, some are animal nests, some are naturally formed, nothing strange."

Li Dong leaned over next to the tree hole and seemed to pick up something unintentionally, picked it up, and said with some surprise: "It's strange, what kind of tree is this, why is it like this?" ”

There was nothing strange about him, and then he followed the other one so strangely, which aroused my curiosity, and when I went up to take a look, I saw that what he was holding in his hand turned out to be half an old piece of bark, about the size of two palms, semicircular, and the surface was somewhat cracked, and at first glance it looked dark and swarthy, nothing special, but when I looked closely, I found that the bark looked like some kind of animal scales for some reason.

My heart moved slightly, and I looked at the old tree that fell to the ground, about a few meters thick and dozens of meters long, by the light of the flashlight, I could vaguely see that there were many branches on both sides, but they had long been integrated with the mountain rocks, and even a lot of wild grass grew on it, and a few sparse bushes of low trees.

Looking at the tree hole on the ground, it was in the middle of this old tree, we were looking, suddenly we heard a strange whistling sound in the tree hole, and then a stream of air rushed out, we hurriedly retreated around the tree hole, and saw a green gas spewing out of it, far away into the dim sky.

"What's going on?" I looked at the sky in surprise and said, I saw that the green qi rose to the sky, but it slowly formed a human-like shape in the air, and the edge also emitted a misty white light, floating in the air for a while, rising higher and higher, and then slowly drifting into the air, leaving no trace, and then nothing strange happened.

We looked up at this strange scene together, we were very puzzled, in the hole of this old tree, suddenly there was a green gas, how to explain this?

The first thing I remembered was that in the story Li Dong told earlier, the old coffin in the coffin shopkeeper, when it was burned at the end, there was also a green gas, which rose straight into the sky, and then dissipated. So what does the green qi we suddenly see now have anything to do with the story of Li Dong?

Of course, in order for this relationship to be established, one thing must first be certain, that is, there is a connection between the wood that made the old coffin and the old tree lying in the mountains, in short, the coffin is made of this old tree.

I suddenly became interested in this old tree, could it be that this is also a dead dragon soul wood?

And this scale

"Wait here, I'll go down and see."

Ansari suddenly spoke, and was about to jump down the tree hole as he spoke, I hurriedly grabbed him, this big brother acted too fast, he said to jump, so let's discuss it first?

"How long are you going to keep us waiting for you? How do you contact each other, and how do you deal with the situation? ”

I asked Ansari, and he looked at me and said, "I'm just going down to see the situation first, if it's just an ordinary tree hole, not much deep underneath, I'll naturally come up, and if there's anything else, I'll naturally tell you to go down." ”

I nodded, that's fine, although it will be dark at this time, we are here to investigate the situation, since we have found an anomaly here, of course we have to go down to take a look.

So we agreed that Ansari would go down to the tree hole first, because the tree hole seemed to be very deep, even the flashlight could not shine to the end, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, we still used a rope to lower Ansari little by little, so that in case of emergency, there was time to evacuate.

The hole was about the thickness of two people, and the opening, though hidden, was large enough for a man to enter, and Ansari had a rope tied around his waist, smiled at us, and jumped down.

I played the flashlight on it, Li Dong put the rope, and watched Ansari's figure gradually sink, and his face was a little blurred, I was a little drumming in my heart, and I secretly thought, the green energy just now can't be a monster, right?

Soon, there was only a little light left in the hollow of the tree, and after a while, the rope stopped, and it was already twenty or thirty meters thick.

Although our flashlight is within this distance, it can be completely illuminated, but in this tree hole, but can not see so far, for some reason, there seems to be a mirror reflection below, at first it was fine, the deeper the flashlight light, there is only a white light dazzling, completely unable to see what is below.

At this time, I tried to squint, and I couldn't see Ansari's location, and at that moment, the rope suddenly shook twice, and then Ansari's voice came from below.

"There's still a dark hole here, I'll check it out first, and if I don't come back in five minutes, you guys will come down right away."

After speaking, the light below flickered, and Ansari's figure disappeared.

I kind of understood what kind of tree hole this was, it was just an exit from the tree, and maybe there was somewhere down there.

I got up slightly, looked up at the fading red glow in the corner of the cliff, and realized that I could still see the surrounding scenery roughly just now, and after only a while, it was almost completely dark, and a few strange bird cries were heard in the distance, and a full moon was quietly rising in another sky.

I sighed slightly, it seemed like it was going to be another bad night.

There was silence all around, Li Dong pulled the rope, frowned slightly, and said to me, "Why do you want to investigate Jin Jian?" ”

I smiled bitterly: "You ask me, I ask who to go, anyway, it's a thief, this is called life sometimes you have to have, life is always forced, people's lives are destined, you can't run if you want to"

Li Dong looked puzzled, suddenly smiled, nodded and said: "That's right, fate is like a hooligan, sometimes you pass by him, he can beat you up for no reason, throw you all over the mud." Sometimes he is like an official master, you are in trouble, you crawl past him with difficulty, reach out for help, and he is like he can't see. But sometimes, he is like a willful child, you don't recruit anyone and don't provoke anyone walking on the street, he can't keep it and throw a gold ingot on your head, making you cry and laugh. Therefore, I have always believed that in fact, no matter where a person goes in his life, he is already destined in the dark, and he can't run. ”

I didn't expect him to say these words suddenly, but it sounded quite reasonable, I glanced at him, and was about to say something emotional, but when the words came to my mouth, I remembered that in fact, we and he had only just met.

"Hehe, yes, so, I don't care about investigating Jin Jian or something, anyway, it's just helping people do things, and I don't want to mix too much, just like you, for a promise, wait here to help us once, after the incident, everyone still has to walk according to their own trajectory."

He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, as if he was about to speak, I looked at the time and whispered, "Yo, five minutes is up, he hasn't moved, I said, shouldn't we go down?" ”

Li Dong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, so be it, I'll go down first, there is no abnormal situation below, I'll call you." ”

I nodded in agreement, so Li Dong grabbed the rope and climbed down the tree hole little by little.

I watched his figure gradually sink, and my heart seemed to sink with it, and I smiled bitterly at myself, thinking, I was the reincarnation of a groundhog in my last life, why did I still deal with the hole in the ground in this life? .
