Thinking of this, the cannibal finally knew where the uneasiness that had been lingering in his heart came from. He did not hesitate any longer and turned back to the tree.

But he said that Lu Lie was lying on the ground, and he had already relieved himself of the ability of the spirit lizard, a comic god, and was waiting for death in despair. Suddenly, he heard the sound of human footsteps gurgling from above the tree wall, and Lu Lie was very surprised: There are zombies in this direction? When he opened his eyes, he saw a person he couldn't believe in the most - a man-eater.

At this time, the bruise on the back of Lu Lie's head dispersed a little, and he was finally able to speak. He opened his mouth wide and scolded: "You old bastard who has been stabbed a thousand times, what are you doing again? Are you still looking for peace of mind and want to cut me down and eradicate the roots? Lao Tzu will never let you go down to the underworld and become a ghost, and he will never let you go, an old bastard!"

After the cannibal got off the trail, he didn't say a word, walked straight to Lu Lie's side, and massaged the bruises on the back of his head. Looking at his unhurried movements, it seems that he is completely ignoring the zombie hordes below where the laughter is getting worse and worse.

The cannibal is very old-fashioned, and after some massage by him, Lu Lie obviously feels that his hands and feet have gradually regained consciousness, and his body seems to be able to move slightly. But in this way, he was even more puzzled: What the hell is this old thing's idea? Now in the scene of 100,000 urgent, he didn't hurry up and ran up, but came here to massage me? Could it be that when he climbed to a high place earlier, he saw something and scared him crazy?

From Lu Lie's point of view, the cannibal scheming went up the tree after plotting against himself, and he was already about to get out of danger. As a result, after a while, he actually went down the tree by himself, and without saying a word, he ran to massage himself. It's weird.

When the cannibal came towards him, Lu Lie originally had the determination to summon the Rose Tiger and fight to die with him. But things are going in a direction that they can't understand, and the zombie frenzy below should be some time before it arrives. simply didn't make a move for the time being, and watched the next development of things with a cold eye.

Lu Lie didn't know which of the old man's tendons was wrong, and what he was going to do.

At this time, the cannibal supper spoke first. He said quietly, "Boy. Do you remember why my cannibal came to this tree?"

Lu Lie closed his eyes and said, "Of course I remember." You told us from the first day you met us that you were looking for your son who ran into a tree many years ago and eventually disappeared...... It's really ridiculous to say, Su Wen and I both concealed our purpose at the beginning, Li Yuan simply didn't say it, Yang Wei was already a dead man at that time, but he didn't know. You're the only one who tells the truth. But none of us here believed it. ”

The cannibal smiled, "I've figured it out now." After so many years, just like what the three heads said in the City of Lost Gods, if my son was still alive in this world, it is estimated that he would have been alienated by the giant tree and turned into a monster. What are you looking for, what are you looking for?"

He pushed Lu Lie and motioned for the latter to stand up: "Okay, it's almost enough to give you living blood, you should be able to move around with your hands and feet, go up the tree by yourself." ”

Lu Lie slowly stood up from the ground, and was obviously stunned after hearing the words of the cannibal behind him: "Old thing, what kind of conspiracy are you playing? Lao Tzu doesn't have anything to do with you to respect the old and love the young, if you are pretending to be humble now, counting on Lao Tzu to give you a dinosaur to make pears sassy routine, you think too much. ”

The cannibal scolded: "It's Kong Rong who makes pears! ”

Lu Lie walked in three steps and two steps, and glanced back at the cannibal behind him from time to time, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

The cannibal laughed and scolded, "Go ahead, you can climb up." The old man is here to guard for you. Those zombies come over, the old man can kill them one by one, and he can drag you a little time. ”

Lu Lie looked at the cannibal for a long time: "Are you still a cannibal?"

The cannibal said solemnly: "If I say that after I climbed to the height, I suddenly found out in my conscience that I was ready to be a good person, would you believe it?"

Lu Lie shook his head: "I don't believe it." ”

He also didn't bother to talk nonsense with cannibals. Anyway, let's get out of this hellish place first.

Lu Lie clumsily grasped the hand axe with his hand that had not yet fully regained consciousness, and slowly climbed up to the top of the giant tree step by step.

His trembling body finally disappeared into the white mist.

This is the last time Lu Lie has a conversation with a cannibal in this life, and so does a cannibal.

Looking at Lu Lie's small back that finally disappeared into the sky, the cannibal owl whispered, "If my son stayed on land back then and didn't come to this ghost place...... I should be three or four years older than you by now. ”

Behind him, the voices of countless demons and monsters came.

The cannibal smiled, and supported himself to his feet with the only remaining hand on the ground. Yang Tian shouted: "Lian Po is old, can you still eat?"

......

Lu Lie woke up from his dream, full of big men.

At this moment, he was on top of a tree wall tens of thousands of meters above the ground, and the only thing that kept him from falling to the earth was a hemp rope that was about to rot, and a stone hand axe that was caught in his hand and sunk into the tree wall. Lu Lie's feet were still in the same black abyss, a small pebble fell, and soon disappeared into nothingness, not even reverberating.

How long have you been climbing on top of this towering tree?

He glanced at his arm—after saying goodbye to the cannibal on the road to heaven, Lu Lie resumed the habit of counting every other day. Once a day when the distant horizon came out, he made a cut in his arm with his knife. Now there are twenty-one cuts on the arm, which means that twenty-one days have passed since the breakup there.

In the past twenty-one days, Lu Lie was the only one left, repeating the endless and boring action of climbing trees, facing the sky that was forever obscured by clouds and mist at high places. This terrible torture has driven him crazy, and he is about to lose his bearing.

Fortunately, these days, there are still big black bulls, small dreams and others in the spiritual world to talk to him. He also has the special ability of the newly acquired Shikigami "Dandelion", and he continues to grow grains for him to eat. When he was thirsty, he waited for the rain to quench his thirst, and when he was tired, he tied himself with hemp rope and slept on the tree wall for a while. These days have barely survived.

It's just that...... How long do you have to climb?

Isn't there no end to this damn giant tree?

Or do you want to stay on the wall of the tree forever and forever, and keep climbing up until you die?
