Chapter 26 Hanging Head Ancient Acacia

————————————————————————————————————————————

The sunlight slanted into the leafy fir trees, casting a dappled light on the ground, but in the depths of the dense forest, it did not seem slightly warm, on the contrary, it always revealed an indescribable strangeness and strangeness. A group of eight of us shuttled through the primeval forest of Shennongjia.

At this point, we already have to cooperate with Zhang Bing's group, if we want to escape, it is almost an impossible task, although Shu Jingcheng's sharpshooter seems to be absent-minded, but as long as we have any abnormal behavior, it is guaranteed that a cold bullet will hit our feet in less than a second.

Where to go next? I recalled Jiang Daolin's words at that time - looking for the hanging head Guhuai. However, instead of turning back to the way we came, we continued to head southwest in the same direction as we had done last night. Ryazan told me that since Jiang Daolin said that he would look for the ancient locust tree and then turn west, then he must be sure that we would be able to find the old locust tree.

I looked up at the huge towering fir trees around me, almost all of them, so I knew that if there was a huge locust tree here, we would be able to spot it in the first place. It's just that we walked for nearly half a day, and we still didn't see any locust trees, but as the road deepened, the surrounding tree species gradually changed from a single fir tree to a mixed situation of multiple tree species. But I don't have a comprehensive understanding of tree species, and I can't name many old trees around me, in other words, even if there is a locust tree in front of my eyes, I may not be able to distinguish it.

However, according to Jiang Daolin's description, the facts are already very clear, the focus of the hanging head Guhuai is on the hanging head, not on the word Guhuai. In other words, that locust tree must have its differences.

We were a group of eight people, although there were a lot of people, but there was hardly any communication along the way, except for Old Man Yuan who reminded everyone to always pay attention to the surrounding situation from time to time, everyone almost walked in silence. This silence was like an invisible mountain, overwhelming me.

Gao Peng has been angry with me until now, although I rushed forward to fight the mountain boy at the last moment, but I have formed an image of greed for life and fear of death in his heart, and it seems that it is difficult to change it. This is the reality, sometimes, in life, especially at the dinner table, we seem to be surrounded by heart-to-heart iron buddies, that is actually because real life does not have so many accidents to test our friendship, test a person's character, after all, the moment of life and death is not everyone has the opportunity to experience it personally. I admit that I am afraid of death, but I am definitely not a greedy person, but what is the use of saying this now?

I looked at Ryazan again, and he noticed that my eyes were just turning back and smiling at me, as if everything was still under his control at this point in the field. But, somehow, the Ryazan in front of me began to gradually become strange.

Last night, I didn't tell anyone about the conversation between me and Old Man Yuan, but I really couldn't take Old Man Yuan's words as a deaf ear and ignore them at all. The fact that Ryazan saved my life, a fact that I have reminded myself countless times that Ryazan is the only person I can trust, is always in my ears. But can trust avoid danger? If these dangers were originally provoked by Ryazan, then the so-called saving my life can actually be understood as the fact that he eliminated the danger he brought.

The more I thought about it, the heavier my heart became, and I didn't know how long I walked, when I suddenly heard Hong Yi in front of me shouting, "Brother Bing, look at that tree, could it be what kind of locust tree is hanging?" ”

The few of us who walked behind looked up and were taken aback, but not because they saw anything strange, but because they were stunned by the towering tree in front of them.

No, to be precise, it wasn't one tree, but the trunks of many trees coiled around each other. The thick roots alone were as thick as the waist of four adults, and on closer inspection, the huge roots were actually coiled around each other by six trees that I could not name, and the six huge roots were tightly intertwined with each other like six pythons with teeth and claws, leaving no gaps, and countless weeds grew at the junction of those roots, so that the whole trunk was lush and dazzling.

We looked up at the roots of the tree, and saw that the canopy of the tree was huge, and the leaves were mixed together, and on the whole, the old tree was not only strange in appearance, but also extremely ugly.

I looked at the tree and wondered, "No, it's not a locust tree either." ”

Chen Bing nodded in front of me and said, "That's right, this tree will definitely not be a locust tree, but I think this tree is the landmark tree species we are looking for." ”

"What do you say?" I asked.

Ryazan preemptively said: "This tree is the tallest tree within a radius of a few hundred meters, and it is also the oldest tree in terms of age, but the main thing is that this tree is obviously different from other trees. ”

"But is it a Huai ......?"

As soon as I was halfway through my words, Old Man Yuan interrupted: "Actually, the so-called locust tree does not necessarily refer to the locust tree. The word locust also refers to the ghost in the wood, in other words, it refers to a tree with extremely heavy yin energy. In this world, the most likely to become spirits and demons is first people, because people are the primates of all things, and the spirituality is the greatest, followed by various animals, and then trees. Although the tree is not spiritually sufficient, it has a very long lifespan, so it also has a certain chance of becoming a spirit, you look at this tree, and say that it is normal, can you believe it? ”

After hearing this, several of us stared at each other, looked at each other, and shook our heads unconsciously.

"What about the so-called hanging head ancient locust, I haven't seen any human heads hanging on the tree?" I said. Because in my mind, the original impression of the hanging head ancient locust was that it was a huge locust tree that had died of old age, and there were countless dry heads on top of the locust tree, but this was not the case.

At this time, Ryazan said, "Maybe it's hidden in the canopy." ”

Chen Bing smiled slightly and said, "Well, that's right, then, you can go up and have a look." ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately understood Chen Bing's intention when he said that he wanted to save Ryazan at the beginning. He saw that Ryazan was skilled, so he wanted to save him and use him as a death squad when necessary. In this way, they can not only preserve their own strength, but also weaken our strength, which is really a way to kill two birds with one stone.

"What's on this tree isn't certain, why don't your people go up there?" Gao Peng said.

But Ryazan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, climbing trees has always been my forte, and besides, I really want to go up there and see what's in this canopy." ”

"Hey," I whispered, "be careful." ”

"Don't worry, my Lord Peixi." Ryazan turned around and smiled at me, and said, "Could it be that there is still a zombie popping out of the canopy?" And the roots of this tree are made of many coiled trees, and it is also easy to climb, so you can rest assured. ”

I nodded, and then, in a flash, Ryazan scurried to the trunk of the tree, and before he had climbed two steps, his body was already buried in the thick canopy, and all we could see was the shaking leaves.

At this time, Chen Bing nodded at that Shu Jingcheng, and the young man understood, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and loaded it with a "click".

"Wait, what are you going to do?" Gao Peng and I asked almost in unison.

Chen Bing ignored me and Gao Peng, and just said lightly: "None of us dare to guarantee that there is something in the canopy, in case he provokes something inside, we might as well strike first." ”

"You ......" I was just halfway through my words, when I suddenly heard a violent shaking of the canopy above my head, followed by a cry from Ryazan, and immediately, Shu Jing reflexively raised his pistol and aimed it at the canopy.

"Ryazan, you're fine." I shouted.

"There's nothing to do, nothing to do." After a while, Ryazan said: "It's really a strange thing, I'll throw it down and you can see for yourself." ”

We didn't understand what Ryazan meant for a while, we heard a "brush" sound from the canopy, and a black shadow fell down, and then we heard two gunshots "bang", Shu Jingcheng's marksmanship was very accurate, and the black shadow was beaten in the air twice and then fell to the ground, rolling to my feet.

I looked down and was shocked to see that it was a woman's head.
