Seeing the black dust on the ground, Chen Zi's first thought was that it was likely that the team had approached the location of the burned ancient tree, and at this time he bent down and looked at the soles of his shoes.

Chen Ziyang saw that he didn't know when it started, and a thin layer of black ash had been glued to the soles of his shoes, so he looked back, and there was also some black ash on the road he had walked before, but because the amount of these black ashes was relatively small, no one noticed it before.

Instructor Liu, who noticed the dust, squatted down, dipped some of the black ash on the ground with his fingertips, held it in front of his eyes, pinched it with his fingers, looked at it, and put it under his nose to smell it, and then he turned his head and said to the people behind him: "This is grass and wood ash, it should be left after the big tree burned, and these black ashes floated here along this passage." ”

Yang Lei used a flashlight to shine a light on the front of the passage, although he could now see that the passage had a relatively large arc in front, but this passage still did not see the end.

"My goodness, I don't know how long I still have to go, but the ashes have drifted here. How big is this tree? Just the ashes that burn can float so far are too exaggerated! Yang Lei said in surprise.

Hearing Yang Lei's words, Chen Ziyang glanced at Yang Lei, and at this time he found that Yang Lei, a dead money fan, was still holding on to the jar in his hand, which made Chen Ziyang angry enough, he just wanted to open his mouth to scold Yang Lei, but at this time, Chen Ziyang suddenly felt that his eyes were dark.

A sense of déjà vu struck again, Chen Ziyang felt that he was obviously with his eyes open, but it was pitch black in front of him, and at this time, suddenly, a huge blood-red eye appeared in the pitch-black curtain in front of Chen Ziyang's eyes.

Because this scene happened too suddenly, Chen Ziyang instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and then the black curtain in front of him and the blood-red eyes disappeared at the same time, and everything returned to normal. But at this time, Chen Ziyang suddenly felt that his heartbeat accelerated, and the feeling that the eye that had appeared before was calling him appeared again.

Yang Lei, who was on the side, noticed Chen Ziyang's strange appearance, hurriedly walked over, and asked him with concern, "Er Yang, what's wrong with you?" I saw you shivering just now, are you okay? ”

Chen Ziyang, who was half-squatting on the ground, covered his chest with his hands, felt his heart beating rapidly, took a deep breath, and then said to Yang Lei: "It's okay, maybe I've not eaten well recently, I have some low blood sugar, and I fainted just now." ”

"Ahem, that's it, look at your poor thing, isn't everything you eat in your bag? Take a biscuit and pad it first, don't starve yourself. ”

After nodding to Yang Lei, Chen Ziyang thought in his heart: "It should be almost there, and the feeling of this strange summoning has become stronger and stronger." ”

The black curtain just now made Chen Ziyang feel as if he was back in that strange dream, and when the blood-red eyes stared at him, Chen Ziyang felt that a layer of goosebumps instantly appeared all over his body, and this strong feeling of being summoned made him feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing that there was something wrong with Chen Ziyang here, and that everyone had been walking in this passage for a day, Instructor Liu hesitated for a while, and then asked everyone to rest in place, after all, they were about to reach the location of the strange ancient tree, and it was very necessary to save some physical strength now.

The night before, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei took turns sleeping, so neither of them rested very well. Because of the unexpected situation just now, Chen Ziyang felt that his physical strength was drained in an instant, so he discussed with Yang Lei, hoping that he would still rest first tonight, and then let Yang Lei wake him up in the middle of the night. Yang Lei also happily agreed.

Chen Ziyang didn't sleep well that night, and he didn't even know if he was asleep or not, because Chen Ziyang felt that he was awake all the time, but he felt as if he had many dreams, but when he opened his eyes, he couldn't remember any of the contents of these dreams.

Chen Ziyang, who originally wanted to replace Yang Lei to rest, looked at his watch, and he found that it was already morning, and it turned out that Yang Lei did not wake him up, so he looked at Yang Lei on the side.

At this time, Yang Lei was sitting on the side with a pair of big bloodshot eyes, and when he saw Chen Ziyang waking up, he took out two bags of biscuits from Chen Ziyang's backpack and gave him a bag.

"Why didn't you wake me up? Didn't you sleep all night? Can you handle it? ”

"You're embarrassed to say, do you know that you talked in your dreams last night, and you sweated all night, it really scared me enough, I thought you were sick."

At this time, Chen Ziyang found that his shirt had been wet with sweat, and the wet shirt was stuck to his body, which was very uncomfortable.

After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Chen Ziyang said: "I'm sorry, I'm worried about you, I don't have anything to do, it's just that I had a few dreams last night, and some of them didn't rest well." ”

"Eryang, if it really doesn't work, let's withdraw, I found that since you entered this passage, something is wrong, if you really have a three-long and two-short, I don't have the face to go back."

Chen Ziyang really wanted to tell Yang Lei about the dream he had entered before, the summoning of the blood-red eye, and his premonition of the dry left arm, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was useless to say these things to Yang Lei now, but it would make him even more worried.

"I really don't have anything to do, don't worry, it's just that you have suffered so much that you haven't slept all night."

"You made me almost cry, you don't have to thank me, in fact, I didn't wake you up not for you, but for myself. I'm afraid these boys will take my gold belt buckle away while I'm asleep. ”

Yang Lei said this, and after the two of them glanced at each other, they laughed.

After breakfast, Instructor Liu couldn't wait to let the team move forward, as everyone moved forward, there were more and more black ashes on the ground, and even later, when everyone walked through this layer of black ash, they would leave obvious footprints.

When walking on the road, Yang Lei looked at these plants on both sides that were more than one person thick, as well as a thick layer of black ash on the ground, and said to Chen Ziyang: "Eryang, are you strange? The ash on the ground was already so thick, which meant that the ancient tree should have been almost burned, but why were the roots of the plants climbing on the top of the passage intact? ”

After listening to Yang Lei's words, Chen Ziyang felt that something was wrong. Since discovering that Instructor Liu was likely to be someone from the Dragon Digging Society, he had so many things to think about that he had to think about so much that he was subconsciously moving forward when he was walking along the way, and his attention was not on the passage at all.

"There are so many things to worry about now, I don't know why, there are too many strange things in this ancient country, and it's not bad for this one, when we finish this passage and see that ancient tree, we should be able to know."

"I said don't think about it so much, maybe all this is just some coincidence coming together, maybe this Instructor Liu is really a member of the Dragon Digging Society, or maybe he and Xiao Na are mortal enemies at all, so this Xiao Na didn't tell him those things, these are very possible.

Your main task now is to focus on this place, get to an end here, and see if the two of us can find a way to escape. ”

After nodding, Chen Ziyang said: "You're right, if we reach the end of the passage and something really happens, you can see the opportunity to run quickly."

I think Instructor Liu will give us the weapon with confidence, because they are sure that they will not let us escape, so the only chance for us to escape is when there is something else to attract their attention.

You have to promise me that if such an opportunity really arises at that time, you must not care about me, if I can run with you, I will definitely follow you, if I can't keep up, you must run forward without looking back, and you must stay away from here as much as possible. You must promise me! ”

Seeing Chen Ziyang's solemn eyes, Yang Lei had no choice but to reluctantly nod. But Chen Ziyang could see from his eyes that Yang Lei was perfunctory, if there was really an opportunity for the two of them to escape, Yang Lei would never leave him.

As the team moved forward, the arc of this passage had become larger and larger, and now with the flashlight shining forward, the obvious curvature of the passage could already be seen at a distance of dozens of meters ahead.

And the downward slope of this passage is already very obvious, even if there is a thick layer of black ash on the ground, it is still easy to see the downward slope of this passage, Chen Ziyang knows that this passage is about to come to an end.

After walking for a while, Instructor Liu, who was at the front of the team, suddenly found that the flashlight in his hand was shining forward, and he could only see a pitch black, which he knew meant that there was a huge space connected to the front of this passage.

After telling everyone about this and asking everyone to simply sort out the things on their bodies, Instructor Liu was the first to grope forward and get into this dark space, and the others followed one after another.

The flashlights of the five people shone back and forth in this dark space, and they could roughly see the situation in front of them, and at the same time, all of them opened their mouths in surprise.

They don't know exactly how big this space is, because the flashlight can't shine at the end of the space, and this strong flashlight can illuminate objects more than 100 meters away, which means that the range of this space is definitely more than 100 meters, and at the end of the flashlight, a huge tree stands there.

Although it was expected to be able to see this ancient tree, everyone was still shocked in the face of such a behemoth at this time.

As everyone speculated, the big tree had been burned to the ground, almost all the branches of the big tree had been burned, and now what stood in front of everyone's eyes was only half of the burned charred black body. However, the diameter of this half of the trunk is more than 40 meters, and the height is more than 50 meters, and the trunk of the big tree is like a wall in front of everyone.

There is also a thick layer of black ash around the tree, much more than anywhere else. Aside from the black ash, nothing else could be seen on the ground in the entire space.

After Instructor Liu, who was standing at the front of the team, saw the big tree, his breathing instantly became rapid. After a brief look at the surrounding environment, Instructor Liu walked towards the big tree in front of him.

At the same time as seeing this big tree, Chen Ziyang once again felt that his eyes were dark, and the blood-red eyes appeared in his mind again, only this time, this blood-red eye was not fleeting, but existed in Chen Ziyang's mind for a long time. This eye moved from side to side, as if to see Chen Ziyang in front of him more clearly.

Because he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Chen Ziyang was not frightened by this eye this time, but when he looked at this blood-red eye, he felt that his physical strength was instantly sucked clean by this eye. At the moment when the blood-red eyes disappeared, Chen Ziyang fell to his knees weakly.

In just such a short period of effort, a large amount of sweat oozed from his forehead, and when Chen Ziyang was on the ground, these sweats dripped from his forehead and dripped onto the thick layer of black ash on the ground.

Yang Lei hurriedly ran over, threw down the clay jar he was carrying, and helped Chen Ziyang up.

Chen Ziyang, who was covered in prostration, looked at Yang Lei and said, "Good guy, it's been almost two days, and you finally threw away these broken jars in your hand, I thought that in your heart, I was not even as good as these jars." ”

Yang Lei, who was blushing, smiled embarrassedly and said to Chen Ziyang: "You can still joke at this time, it seems that you have nothing serious." Although Yang Lei said this, he was still very worried, because Chen Ziyang's condition was really bad now.

At this time, Chen Ziyang saw that Instructor Liu had already run quickly to the middle of the tree and the team. Because the layer of black ash on the ground is very thick, when Instructor Liu ran forward, his feet sank into the black ash, and every time he lifted his feet, he would bring up a lot of black dust.

Because Instructor Liu ran forward very fast, the black ash he brought was particularly high and very much.

After a while, a black fog wall formed by black smoke and dust appeared between Instructor Liu and the team, blocking everyone's sight, and Instructor Liu had been engulfed by these black smoke and dust.
