Chapter 53: The True Face of the Giant Tree

The marshal opened his eyes and slowly pulled his thoughts back into the real world as he was about to fall into the lake.

He saw a scene that terrified him. After leaving Zhu Shizhen, no matter how many years have passed, let him recall the scene he saw back then, he will use the same sentence to describe it: If hell had a way on earth, it would be nothing more than that.

In front of his eyes, on top of the giant tree, which was still entangled in flames and light and heat, the skin of the shell of the giant tree had been burned to the ground, and it had lost its camouflage, and being exposed at this moment was the true purpose of the giant tree, the thing that had stood in this heaven and earth for thousands of yearsβ€”β€”

It was a black, terrifying giant pillar that led to the sky, stretching to the end of the endless sky, like the turtle feet that Nuwa used to stand up to the sky and the earth in ancient times!

And this was not what frightened the marshal, at best, it only made him curious and surprised. What really shocked the marshal was that all the soldiers present were in a commotion, and on top of the black pillar, they were wrapped in iron, densely packed with countless complete skeletons that had been carbonized and blackened. The skeletons were tied to the giant tree, some of them had open jaws and hideous heads, some were holding rusty weapons, as if they were fighting with some invisible monster, some two skeletons were holding each other and walking side by side, and some of them raised their necks to look at the sky, not knowing what they were looking for.

Dense. From the bottom of this black iron pillar, all the way to the end of the sky, it was full of these strange skeletons. Just the tip of the iceberg under the clouds seen by Generalissimo Guo and others, there are tens of thousands. Not to mention the sky that this black iron pillar leads to, at that height, I don't know how many skeletons there are like this!

And these skeletons, if they have anything in common, is that they are all climbing towards the top of the black iron pillar.

"It's terrifying, it's terrifying......"

In the military array, countless veterans from the Shura Field were murmuring.

"There are so many skeletons, I really don't know why they are tied to this iron pillar, and how they are tied up......"

"What did the people who built this dark pillar want to do?......

"Do you think that the existence that can build such a divine object will be the power that humans can have?"

"If it hadn't been for the burning of the skin of this giant tree today, I really didn't know that such a thing existed down here. ”

Countless people whispered, and countless people looked at the black iron pillar. An ominous atmosphere slowly spread through the military formation.

The countless survivors of Zhushi Town, who had been tied up nearby, were already grief-stricken when they saw the giant tree they had relied on for many years being burned. When they saw that the shell of the giant tree was burned out, it was even more shocking and sad that many people on the spot cried bitterly, completely ignoring the big knife hanging on their necks behind them.

All of a sudden, the sound of pathetic pain spread over the small town of Zhushi, and the crackling sound of burning sparks still remaining above the black iron pillars were intertwined.

"What are you crying about? Don't you die fast enough?"

"Cry again, cry to me again, cry again, kill you all, cut off your heads one by one, and see if you still cry!"

Many of the soldiers in charge of managing the captives shouted and cursed. But when the black pillar surfaced, everything around the room began to get out of control, and their shouts and curses had lost any meaning.

"Since these guys want to die so much, let's just fulfill them. Throw them all into the abyss and sleep with the giant tree they love. ”

Someone gave a cold command. After all, Guo Jiajun had been delayed in this Zhushi Town for too long, so long that it had completely exceeded their expectations. If you want to leave Zhushi Town and avoid the pursuit of the Jianning Army that followed, you can't take these slow-moving captives with you. Then let's just kill them all here.

The soldiers received the order to lift the captives one by one, pull them to the abyss by the black pillar, and threw them down one by one like dumplings into boiling water. All of a sudden, the cries of countless captives shook the sky, making it even more chaotic that the night was already unpeaceful.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

In the midst of this chaos of ghosts crying wolves, an extremely thin and extremely strange laugh suddenly came out slowly, the laughter became sharper and sharper, and the laughter became more and more arrogant, like a small knife pierced into the minds of everyone present, and the feeling was really uncomfortable.

"Bastard, what the hell are you laughing at!?" the Commanders shouted angrily at the black-robed old man whose back was still twitching.

The mysterious old man was burdened with an unusually ominous aura that grew stronger and stronger over time. All the commanders present thought: I can't let this demon Dao have another chance to bewitch the generalissimo by the side of the generalissimo, if there is a chance, I must find a way to kill him.

"What are you laughing at?" the generalissimo moved his gaze away from the strange black pillar and to the black-robed old man. No one knew what was going on inside the moody generalissimo - a mad, blindless old man would dare to let out such irritating laughter while the generalissimo was brooding. If it had been normal times, the generalissimo would have drawn his sword and cut him in half.

But today, the generalissimo seems to be extraordinarily patient, constantly forgiving the presumptuousness and transgression of this mysterious demonic way.

"I'm laughing at the stupidity and ignorance of the Generalissimo and all of you...... No, it's not just stupidity and ignorance, it's just that you don't know Tarzan, and you're blind to these two dog-eyed tricks that grow on your face!"

When the marshal's subordinates heard this, their faces changed, and their swords were unsheathed: "Presumptuous! How dare you say such a vulgar thing in front of the generalissimo!"

"If I don't kill you today, there is really no way to correct the military law!"

And those around him who are familiar with the generalissimo's temper also know that this demon is dead!

"Let him continue, how is it that this seat is blind?" said the generalissimo coldly. The people around were stunned, so they had to put back the sword that had been half drawn.

"Dear Wang, congratulations on making the right decision. The black-robed old man slowly tore off the robe that covered his face and said slowly, "If you kill me here, you will miss a great opportunity to dominate the world." ”
