We followed the cranes through the woods, and the three cranes were going in the same direction.

I said, "It seems that they were taken away by the same people, Nantang, I think this place is very evil." ”

"Well, it's really a little weird, but the soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, I'm here, don't be afraid, madam." He asked as he walked forward with me; "Does your leg still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, leave me alone, let's go quickly!" Saying that it doesn't hurt is false, Chu Nantang sighed lightly, responded lightly, and sped up.

Walking through the woods, suddenly an abandoned tower appeared in front of me, and the tower collapsed so that only the tower base remained, and you can still vaguely see the pomp and circumstance of the year.

The steps were five meters wide, and the high platform was covered with lush vegetation, which seemed to be alive, and the vine path swayed like a snake in midair.

I couldn't help but oozed a layer of cold sweat from my back: "Nantang, this ...... Are these vines the kind that crawled into my skin? ”

He nodded solemnly: "That's it, madam, be careful." ”

The three paper cranes flew towards the high platform, and before they could fly far, they were entangled and fell by those demon vines.

My body trembled unconsciously, and I shrank into Chu Nantang's arms, and I already had a shadow on this weird demon vine.

"Xiaobai, they should be on top, madam, you wait for me here, I'll go up and have a look."

"No, don't leave me here alone."

I nervously clasped his hand, Chu Nantang responded lightly, led me to the front, he used the torch in his hand to force the demon vines that crawled over, they were afraid of fire. Don't dare to move forward.

We followed the ladder step by step to the round tower base, and sure enough, we saw the missing servants.

They were now in a coma, their hands and feet tightly entangled in the flesh and blood by the demon vines.

At that moment, I didn't think much else, for their safety, I didn't even have time to feel afraid, I took a torch and burned the vines that were wrapped around me to death.

Chu Nantang took the saber and cut off the vine that was wrapped around them, and the demon vine writhed a few times on the moss-covered marble floor, and the rod actually oozed bright red blood.

It didn't take long for him to writhe, and he went down.

"Xiaobai! Wake up! Clear dyeing! Lisheng!! Chu Nantang kept calling them. Hopefully, they can be woken up from their coma.

The demon vine seemed to start to get agitated, and the speed of the climb became faster and faster.

Chu Nantang sighed in amazement: "Madam, stand back!" ”

He rushed forward, took the torch in my hand, and threw it at the most lush part of the vines, and I seemed to hear their high-pitched wails, the kind of sharp sounds that were terrifying to hear.

He took out another bottle of medicinal powder and sprinkled it around, the demon vine touched the white medicinal powder, which instantly eroded and blackened, but it could only block it for a while, and their vitality was extremely strong. Pounce forward and follow, and sooner or later it will crawl over.

"What to do Nantang, I can't last long."

Chu Nantang seemed to think of something, rummaged in his bag for a long time, took out a box of ointment and smeared it under the tip of their noses, and after a while, the pungent smell of ointment stimulated them to wake up.

He sneezed a few times and looked around, his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Grandpa, what is this?"

Lisheng was seriously injured in the head, his face was all wounded, and he looked frightened, as if he had touched those ambitions.

Although Li Qingran is a girl, she is the calmest one.

She looked around for a moment and reminded, "Go back, there is still a way out." ”

Lisheng took out an infrared laser knife from his mouth and said, "I'll open the way, follow me." ”

Just about to retreat, suddenly in the lush vines, something was moving, to say that we were not afraid at all was false, a few of us were so frightened that we huddled together, staring at the crowded ground in horror.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the vine. Li Qingran's calm appearance collapsed at that moment and screamed.

"Yes, someone! There are living people inside!! ”

Lisheng was about to rush over, but Chu Nantang stopped him violently: "Don't go over, you can't save him, but you will catch yourself." ”

"Could it be that someone is slowly dying in front of us?!"

Seeing Lisheng's impulsiveness, Chu Nantang said: "You are not a person now, you are a team, if you act rashly, it will drag everyone down." ”

Li Sheng gasped, his eyes were red, the man struggled desperately, and finally showed a head, looking like a very young man, only to see that his two eyes had already been sucked by the demon vine to the point that only two black holes remained.

But in the end, the consciousness of saving his life made him crawl out with all his might, even though the strange vines had taken root and multiplied in his flesh and blood.

He grunted in his throat a few times, spat out a mouthful of blood, and was violently dragged back by the demon vine, and there was no more movement.

Chu Nantang said in a deep voice: "Listen to me, these people deliberately led us here to become the delicacy of the demon vines, like a sacrifice, only by feeding these demon vines, it will not kill people indiscriminately." In order to protect themselves, the villagers living in the local area deliberately victimized the tourists who passed by, and we were unfortunately the target of them! ”

"How many people died here?" Li Qingran exclaimed.

"I'm afraid, countless. There are countless bones buried in it! Bai Yiqing swallowed her saliva: "It's terrible! ”

"Now we can only go back and see what awaits us?!"

Led by Chu Nantang and Lisheng, we retreated, and we were forced into an ancient cave.

The cave was large, with many protruding rocks, and the road under its feet was rugged and winding. Chu Nantang took out a flashlight to illuminate it and walked forward cautiously.

I don't know how long I walked, but the world in front of me suddenly opened up, and under the surrounding circular cliffs, there was a blue lake.

The lake is calm and waveless, and the lake is so blue that you can't see the bottom. Chu Nantang suddenly found that some reliefs were carved on the stone wall.

The reliefs seem to suggest something, and the circular cliff faces are carved at intervals of three paces, and the content of the reliefs is different.

"What are these? What a strange painting. ”

Chu Nantang looked at them one by one in silence, and then began to explain: "These reliefs record how the demon vines outside came from. ”

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope appeared in everyone.

"Is there a way to find a way to deal with these demon vines and escape?"

Chu Nantang shook his head: "This only records how these demon vines came from. Nothing else is written. ”

Xiao Bai couldn't see the Tao on these reliefs when he looked left and right, and asked suspiciously: "Grandpa, what do you see from this relief?" Why can't I read it? ”

"This way of recording has some connections with some ancient Taoism, and I have done some research, so I can see one or two."

As he spoke, he went back to the first relief: "This flower has no name, some people say that it comes from hell, so it is called the flower of hell." More than 2,000 years ago, there was a demon queen of the Borneo kingdom who liked to use human blood to feed all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and she took the sin slave. Or they were caught by erring slaves and maids, and they were made alive to feed flowers and plants.

In order to cultivate the art of immortality, she practiced the elixir of immortality with the flowers and plants offered by her living body, and lived for more than a hundred years, and she could still maintain the charm and charm of her girlhood.

The people of the Baltic kingdom were very frightened, so they called in a mage, tied the demon queen to the torture table, and tried to burn her to death with fire. When the demon queen's body was consumed by the fire, she completely disappeared at the stake.

After the disappearance of the demon queen, there was a kind of demon vine in the local area, which used people as a vessel for reproduction, and they could take root in the flesh and blood to reproduce. Until the blood of the living is drained, the flowers from hell will bloom and then go into eternal sleep.

But when it awakens the next time, it will be offered with human sacrifices, and the unsatisfied flowers of hell will be slaughtered and people will be in dire straits. ”

Lisheng staggered two steps: "Until it blooms, it seems that there will be endless killing, and we will eventually become its sacrifices." ”

Suddenly, Li Qingran screamed in surprise, grabbed the back with his backhand, and I subconsciously turned my head to look: "Qingran, what's wrong?" ”

"I think there's a little bug in my back, Lingsheng. Help me see. ”

"Okay." I walked around behind her and lifted the clothes from her back, and when I saw the raised vine in the subcutaneous tissue squirming and extending in her body, I was so frightened that my legs went limp, and I actually fell to the ground.

Li Qingran was even more frightened: "Lingsheng, how are you ...... Could it be that I. ”

"Don't, don't be afraid, just pull it out! It's going to be fine! ”

Li Qingran seemed to feel it continue to wriggle and extend in the subcutaneous tissue, and roared in collapse: "We all have to die here, I don't want to ...... I don't want to become its sacrifice, save me, save me, I don't want to die! ”

"Calm down!" Bai Yiqing rushed forward and grabbed her shoulders: "Grandpa Zu will have a way, don't mess up with yourself." ”

Chu Nantang glanced at Lisheng: "Xiaobai, you help Lisheng take a look." ”

Bai Yiqing nodded, stepped forward and said, "Brother Lisheng, although I don't want to see your five big and three thick body, but there is no way, who called you my teammate?" ”

"Grass! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb! ”

Chu Nantang added: "Lisheng also helped Xiaobai check it, if this thing is found to be growing in subcutaneous tissue, it must be removed as soon as possible." ”

Bai Yiqing's face suddenly turned pale, and Li Qingran oozed a layer of cold sweat: "How to get rid of it?" ”

Chu Nantang took the saber and used fire to eliminate the poison: "Are you afraid of pain?" ”

Li Qing's eyes were red. Looking at the saber in his hand, he shook his head: "Don't be afraid, as long as you can get this damn thing out for me!" ”

"You're lying on your stomach, I'll help you take out the demon vine behind you."

"Hmm." Li Qingran turned his back, took a stone handkerchief in his mouth, and clenched his hands into fists, I looked at Chu Nantang and cut the skin behind her without blinking.

Picked out the tip of the demon vine's stretch, and then quickly grabbed the vine that was twisting and had a strong adsorption force, and pulled it out.

Li Qingran may not be in pain, and he fainted several times.

This demon vine is much more powerful than I was then, and it has unconsciously taken deep roots.

When the blood-stained vine was pulled out, it still writhed on the ground. Li Qingran screamed and crushed the demon vine with the sole of his shoe as if he were crazy.

It wasn't until the demon vine, which was more than ten centimeters long, withered and motionless on the ground in an instant, that she fell off the rock.

"Qingdian, I'll help you bandage your wounds."

"Thank you."

After the two of them finished checking, their faces were solemn, Chu Nantang sighed lightly and wiped the blood on the knife: "Who has it?" I helped him with the knife. ”

Bai Yiqing swallowed his saliva: "In ...... On the shoulder, grandfather, you have to go down the knife lightly! ”

Chu Nantang glanced at Lisheng suspiciously: "Lisheng? ”

"I didn't, I'm very lucky, Bai Yiqing talks a lot, give him two more knives, let him talk less nonsense."

Before we could breathe a sigh of relief. Chu Nantang and I were stunned on the spot, and Lisheng's face froze on his face: "What...... What's wrong? ”

Chu Nantang said: "It seems that we have to solve your problem first." ”

"Me? I didn't. Li Sheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his frightened expression could no longer maintain a smile.

"It's near your eyes, it's more troublesome." Chu Nantang tightened the knife in his hand.

The demon vine was rapidly extending into his eyeballs, and Chu Nantang asked him to sit down and tilt his head up.

Chu Nantang took a deep breath, there are too many important blood vessels near the eyeball, and if you are not careful, you may lead to blindness.

"Lisheng, you have to be mentally prepared."

Lisheng is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and at this time, the sweat of the bean is straight down, and he seems to have made a lot of determination.

"Come on! I'm mentally prepared. ”

Chu Nantang helped his glasses. With unprecedented solemnity, he concentrated all his energy, and with a gentle stroke, Lisheng's entire handsome face was distorted in pain.

"Bear with me." It wasn't until the knife slashed under the eyelids that the end of the demon vine was picked out, and Chu Nantang pulled it out.

The thing writhed violently, and the slender and flexible roots were pulled out of the flesh bit by bit, and everyone gasped for breath when they were done.

Although Bai Yiqing's look was serious, he dealt with it quickly, and he didn't see how much pain he had if his skin was thick and thick.

"Everyone, be careful, don't let this thing have another chance to invade."

As soon as the words fell. I seemed to hear a woman's sigh from outside the cave.

"Listen, it looks like someone." I subconsciously turned my head to look, and everyone followed my line of sight, only to see that the lush demon vines were multiplying and extending at an incredible speed, and this speed would soon be surrounded by them.

Then there was another strange laugh, exactly from the vine. As they quickly climbed the entire cave wall, a strange song echoed through the cave, but it came from nowhere.

Chu Nantang laid out the formation around him, and these vines would burn as long as they got close, so they just 'watched' outside the formation, not daring to approach.

"Nantang, it's not a way to go on like this. Mana will run out. ”

Chu Nantang calmly looked around, and took off the Soul Drain Bead in his hand, although it was broken, it had been repaired intact, and there was no trace of the break.

"Madame take it, I'll go out and have a look."

"What?"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Although he said this, in fact, no one could guarantee it, and stepping out of the formation would inevitably have to worry about his life. But if he is trapped in the Dharma with us, and when the mana of the formation is exhausted, we will all die.

"Be careful."

Chu Nantang nodded and stepped out of the formation. Those demon vines smelled the breath of the living, and frantically pounced on Chu Nantang's side.

The surging momentum, as if he had been hungry and thirsty for hundreds of years, Chu Nantang sneered, sacrificed a few talismans, and when the demon vine approached, the spell turned into a raging fire, and the demon vine let out a hoarse scream.

The burning vine mans bent in the air, as if they also knew the pain, as Chu Nantang's spell accelerated, the faster the fire spread, no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't be extinguished.

Moment. The fire ignited half of the big hole, Chu Nantang saw this, dropped the formation, and shouted: "Don't look back, run!" ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone ran out of the instinct of survival, and the vines that climbed all over the cave walls were quickly swallowed by the real fire.

Seeing that it was safe, I turned around and turned back while they weren't paying attention.

No matter what danger I encountered, I couldn't leave him there alone.

When I returned, I will never forget the scene in front of me. The demon vine became entangled in mid-air into a ball of flames, and fell straight towards the surface of the lake with great force.

There was a loud bang, and a thousand waves were stirred up and rushed towards us. When Chu Nantang was a thousand equals, he protected me in his arms and jumped to the ground, avoiding the impact of the strong waves.

After everything calmed down, I heard the sound of the lake boiling, Chu Nantang pulled me up, approached the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to see that the lake that was originally blue began to turn into crimson blood water, boiling violently.

The smell of the fishy smell is like rotting flesh, and the smell is so pungent that you want to vomit.

Suddenly, I heard a shrill laugh. Shocked, he looked at Chu Nantang: "She is here, could she be the demon queen who died at the stake more than a thousand years ago?" ”

Chu Nantang frowned and replied softly: "It is very possible, in fact, after the fire at the stake, this demon queen turned into a demon and lived in the world in the form of a demon flower." ”

"Hehehehe......" There was an eerie laugh from the bottom of the plasma-like lake, and then the plasma on the surface of the lake slowly turned into the form of a human woman.

Like a boneless thing, it quickly climbed up from the rock wall at the bottom of the lake.

The moment Chu Nantang pushed me away, the monster began to attack Chu Nantang at an inhuman speed, I subconsciously sacrificed the soul, and the power of the soul shook the monster back.

The Soul Bead returned to Chu Nantang's hands, Chu Nantang silently recited the incantation, and I quickly laid out the formation around us, and the monster tried to break the formation and enter, but after several attacks, it was in vain.

Until a crack was knocked out of the formation, and at this time, the monster also began to be exhausted, and there was no longer the ferocity at the beginning

Chu Nantang began to fight back, and the monster was beaten again and again, which stimulated its ferocity, and under the plasma, the demon vine began to grow and extend rapidly, many times faster than the previous growth rate.

Chu Nantang sneered: "I've tasted enough of the three flavors of real fire, let you taste the taste of the seven-star thunder fire!" ”

Seven spells were thrown, turning into seven blue flames in the air, and the power of the blue fire was the fiercest.

When the demon vine encountered the blue flame, it was instantly burned to ashes, and the monster Jiang wailed miserably and quickly sank to the bottom of the lake.

The plasma-like surface of the lake quickly turned blue, and I stepped forward to check, "Is the monster dead?" ”

Chu Nantang hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop me: "Madam, don't rush forward, I'm afraid of danger." ”

After waiting for a while, the lake did not set off any more waves, and Chu Nantang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that this thing has entered a long sleep in advance, this time it has not been satisfied, I am afraid that the next awakening will be even more ferocious." ”

"What then?"

"I'll seal it, ma'am, please stand back."

Chu Nantang spent a lot of energy and laid a seal, and then left with me.

When they walked out of the cave, they saw Xiaobai and the others standing in front of the collapsed tower, not moving.

I looked at Chu Nantang and ran over quickly, and when I saw the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but shudder.

The bones everywhere showed a frightened expression before death, seeping into people's panic.

Lisheng is bold. He stepped forward and picked up a document from the ground, which turned out to be a student ID.

The girl on the student ID card had a sweet smile, and she died here quietly at the age of a flower.

Li Qingran took a deep breath and choked up: "Although there are a lot of bones, let's bury them all." ”

Bai Yiqing asked in a deep voice: "Do you want to call the police first?" ”

I said, "Do you think the police would believe these things?" It looks like some of the bones have been dead for years. ”

Li Sheng nodded: "The missing persons registration book of the police station, there are several piles of missing persons that have not been placed there, bury them, and then move on." ”

The sun rose in the east, and when the rain finally cleared, it took a whole day for the few of us to reluctantly bury the bones.

After Chu Nantang requiemed them to pass away, he was about to leave, only to see many villagers wearing foreign costumes standing behind him.

They were also afraid of death, but in order to survive themselves, they had killed so many innocent people.

Seeing that we had come out alive, they stared at us incomprehensibly, and although they had weapons in their hands, they did not dare to come forward again.

It is estimated that from ancient times to the present, people who have not been sacrificed have been able to come out of it alive.

So when we turned to leave, they didn't stop them, and they didn't dare to come forward to stop them, and after walking a distance, I couldn't help but look back.

But they were watching us leave, and they all had weird smiles on their faces.

I took a breath and went back to the car, but luckily a team of self-driving people helped us get the car out.

Along the way, I was tired of tossing, and I took turns to drive, and I told Professor Zhang everything that happened after that.

Professor Zhang was regretful: "There is such an unbelievable thing? It's a pity I missed it. ”

Li Qing said quickly: "Fortunately, you were wrong, if you didn't miss it." Guaranteed that you will regret this life. ”

I swear, except for Li Qingran's sister, there is really no one who dares to scold Professor Zhang like this.

After a few hours of driving, we stopped in an unfamiliar town, tired and offered to leave later tomorrow.

The facilities of the hotel are not bad, I put essential oils, take a bath, and the whole person is refreshed.

Sitting on the bed, I looked at the wound on my ankle and saw that a new scar was gradually starting to form.

Chu Nantang was sitting at the table, staring at the computer screen and not knowing what he was looking at.

I subconsciously shouted: "Nantang, it's not early, you go take a bath." ”

Chu Nantang turned his head to look at me and smiled lightly: "Okay, if you're tired, go to bed early." ”

He took a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom, and I got up curiously and walked to the desk and saw a few photos on the computer.

It turned out to be a photo in that village, the first time he went to that village, Chu Nantang took a few photos with his mobile phone.

I sat down in front of the computer and looked through them one by one, but I didn't find anything.

When he came out, he stepped forward and closed the computer: "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”

I pursed my lips and said, "Nantang, I always feel that things are very weird, as if they ...... And it doesn't end there. ”

"How?" He stared at me.

I thought for a moment and said, "When we left, I looked back at them, and his smile was weird, I don't know what that Rong represents?" ”
