Chapter 17: The World Within the Tree

Seeing the increasing number of zombies under his feet, the man-eater secretly complained: how could these beasts bite themselves so dead. His group had been teleported a thousand meters away, and they were still following.

He didn't have the slightest demeanor of a master, so he turned around and climbed up.

The cannibal crawled for a moment and found that as far as his eyes could see, Yang Wei had long since disappeared. The cannibal was shocked and puzzled, and said in his heart: This Yang Wei was seriously injured, and he was carrying three people on his back, how could he climb so fast.

Just when the cannibal was suspicious, half of Yang Wei's head suddenly poked out fifty meters above and shouted to him: "Old man, when I climbed here, I found a cave, and when I climbed in, I actually led to the inside of the tree. Come up!"

The cannibal was overjoyed and hurriedly climbed up with his hands and feet. But there was not even a place to put his feet on the top of the tree, so how could a tree hole suddenly appear? Who or what was the tree hole that had been carved out of it? In a hurry, he had no energy to think about it, and now there was a good place to escape. Yang Wei took him a hand above, and the cannibal turned over and rolled into the tree hole. His feet finally set foot on the ground that he had not seen for a long time, and a sense of security filled his body.

At this moment, the five of them converged again in the hollow of the tree. Seeing that the tide of corpses below was getting more and more intense, Yang Wei and the cannibal couldn't help but move the stones and broken branches in the tree hole and piled them up at the entrance of the cave, and even the injured Lu Lie stood up and helped them carry the obstacles. After a while, the entrance to the cave, which was only large enough to accommodate the two of them, was tightly blocked. After a while, there was a thud, and there was a dull thud at the entrance of the cave. Although there are a large number of zombies outside, they can only climb up one by one on this tree wall, and only a few zombies can come to the front of the tree hole and hit the obstacles at a time. These five people don't have to worry about this place being breached for the time being.

Lu Lie and the others escaped death, and took a breath a little, so that they had the energy to watch the scenery inside the giant tree.

Although the entrance to the cave they entered was narrow, the inside of the giant tree was wide and boundless, as if it was a black space without bounds, and you could not reach the bottom even if you ran all the way to the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and there were echoes in all directions when you took a breath. Light does not exist here at all, and when you stretch out your hand, let alone five fingers, even the reflection of five fingernails cannot be seen. The five men stood at the entrance of the cave, moved two steps forward, and when they turned back, they could not find where the original cave was.

The five of them were stunned by the miraculous creations of nature. Could it be that the tree walls in this area turned out to be hollow?

This is obviously contrary to common sense - if the middle of a tree is hollowed out like this, it will die long ago. But the trunk of the giant tree continued to extend upwards, hidden in the clouds higher up, and it was clearly healthy.

However, when you think that the giant tree itself is a being that defies common sense, it is not surprising that there are all kinds of absurdities above it.

They escaped death again, lying on the ground one by one, panting like oxen, moist liquid kept pouring out of the pores of their bodies, and they couldn't tell whether it was sweat or blood in the dark tree holes.

The inside of the giant tree was pitch black, and one of the two mystics who could emit light and illuminate turned into a demented child, and the other ran out of qi, and became a waste for the time being. The cannibal commanded: "Yang Wei, you have lit the flint, let's calculate how many supplies we still have on our bodies." ”

Yang Wei leaned weakly on a boulder, panting and said, "In order to be super handsome and very beautiful on my back, I would have untied my backpack and thrown it off the cliff a long time ago." At this moment, I only have a wine gourd and a few cold steamed buns on me, where did I get the flint?"

The cannibal was shocked and angry, and slapped a stubborn rock next to him into several pieces: "What! Are you a fool? What's the use of carrying people on your back? Without food and drink, don't we still have to starve and die of thirst here?"

In his eyes, nature is what you eat and drink, which is far more important than Lu Liehe's very beautiful life.

Very beautiful couldn't listen to it anymore, and sneered: "Yo." Old man, then you can just commit suicide here, so that we can survive for a while by eating your flesh and drinking your blood. Didn't you say that eating and drinking are more important than human life? ”

In the darkness, the cannibal stalk's fierce light brightened: "Little girl, you dare to talk back to the old man." Just listening to the sound of the iron rope mopping the floor, the man-eater seemed to have pulled out the meteor hammer and was ready to make a move with the very beautiful.

"Ahhh......h It's so dark, I can't even see my fingers clearly......" Li Yuan on the side ran around in circles, looking like a child, completely losing his usual calm and wise appearance.

In the chaotic battle just now, the reserves on the five people were basically lost. The cannibal had a wishful thinking in his heart: if the remaining materials were used to support five people, they would naturally not last long. But if it is concentrated for one person, it should be more than enough. Now this dead man is wounded, tired, and becomes an idiot. The cannibals were originally allied with them, and only used them as meat pads to block knives. Now they have lost their combat effectiveness, and in the eyes of cannibals, they have naturally become useless waste.

He had murderous intentions in his heart, and deliberately made provocative remarks, hoping that if there was an incident, he could fight and kill one or two of the five. Very beautiful, like an old hen laying eggs, when provoked by him, she jumped up and clucked. How could a ghostly person like Lu Lie not see the cannibal's thoughts, he thought for a while, and then rebuked angrily: "It's very beautiful, you have a fucking conscience when you speak! How many materials have been wasted in order to save the two of us waste! If you are still a little cheeky, you should lower your head and be a man like me." Why are you still so shameless and still defending yourself!"

It was very beautiful, and the five organs and six lungs in her stomach hurt badly, and she was reprimanded by the cannibal and Lu Lie together. She was a girl after all, and she couldn't hold it anymore, so she covered her face and cried loudly in the dark.

"Bird seniors. Lu Lie was cheeky and sneered at the cannibal, "Sooner or later, this hole will be broken by zombies outside, so it's better for us to get out of here first." I'm feeling a little better, and in a little while I'll be able to regain my power and summon flames for everyone to light up. Let's get dark and make do with it. ”

There are two meanings in his words, one is that there is still a great enemy outside, and the crisis is far from being resolved, and the other is that he implies that he will immediately regain his combat effectiveness, and he is not a person who can be slaughtered by others. No matter what the meaning is, it can make the cannibal jealous again and again, and you have to weigh the situation before killing.

The cannibal was silent in the darkness for a moment, apparently in thought. After a moment of silence, he said coldly: "What Brother Chao said does make some sense, so let's do as you say for the time being." ”

"However," he glanced in a very beautiful direction with a deep meaning, "Xiao Nizi, you have repeatedly provoked and humiliated the old man, and the old man has endured it again and again. Your 'kindness', the old man will have to 'reciprocate' sooner or later. ”

Very beautiful and fearless, she sobbed and shot back coldly: "Okay, I see how you 'repay' me." ”

The four of them struggled to their feet, groping their way forward in the darkness. Yang Wei suddenly remembered: "Oh, where was Li Yuan standing just now? ”

"Take him?" the cannibal scolded angrily, "stupid big man, call you stupid, are you really stupid? He's an idiot now, and it's useless, what are we going to do with him?

Lu Lie sighed in his heart. He reminded, "Don't forget, old man bird, you can swear. He takes us out of danger, and we protect his body before his soul returns. ”

"Oath?" the cannibal laughed, "and now that there is no enemy here, where can he use us to protect him? At that time, he was eaten by the zombies outside during the time we left, so blame his own bad luck. We didn't see it, and of course it wasn't in our heads. ”
