"Calm down, everyone, be careful. ”

Jiang Xuan waved his hand, took the lead in taking a step forward, and walked into the entrance of the valley first, the entrance was also surrounded by mountains on both sides, like a narrow and dark canyon tunnel, with a thin 'line' above his head, which was the sky.

This entrance is strange.

The ancients said that 'one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open', used to describe the very dangerous terrain, this valley is a little bit of this meaning, the entrance is only more than one meter wide, standing on this side you can roughly see the opposite side is a valley, the entrance can barely be two adults side by side, one person can be sealed.

Since that youkai is running away, why did you flee to such a treacherous place, isn't this self-defeating?

Or is this a trap, that illusionist monster, deliberately trying to lure his own people here?

At this time, no matter what the possibility was, Jiang Xuan decided to find out.

The entrance is not very long, it is not so much a 'canyon' as a 'big stone gate', four or five meters long, and it can be passed through in a few steps.

The door suddenly opened.

A large meadow full of flowers, about half a football field, as far as the eye can see, there are no other exits, all are mountain walls, and at the end a small waterfall that is not wide hangs down from the cliff and falls into the valley.

The valley is full of lush flowers and plants, and it looks like a scene of flowers.

"My mother, what a big tree!" Chang Xiaotu rubbed his eyes and said in surprise.

There is indeed a big tree!

Looking along Chang Xiaotu's eyes, I saw that in the middle of the valley, there was a very eye-catching tree with three or four stories high.

In fact, if you compare it in the forest, this tree can't be called a 'towering giant tree', it's just an ordinary big tree, but in this small valley where the overall area is not very large, and there are low shrubs, plants, flowers and plants everywhere, this tree standing in the middle gives people a feeling of the king of all things and the core of the world.

As soon as anyone enters the valley and sees this tree, they will have the feeling of Chang Xiaotu: what a big tree.

The branches of the big tree grow luxuriantly, and many branches are derived from the branches, and each branch has large and small branches, and the leaves are luxuriant, like a big umbrella, blocking the sky of most of the valley, as if all the creatures in the valley are thriving under the protection of the big tree.

"Principal, principal, I smell the demon!" Gou Ritian snorted and said firmly, "It came from that big tree!"

"I smell it too!"

"Me too!"

Chang Xiaotu and Jiang Qiang spoke at the same time.

"Huh, is it a big tree monster?" Jiang Xuan was stunned.

What is it that is running in front of you just now, attracting you to this place? The big tree will not move.

There are no hints about finding youkai in the space, and there is no information data on Taoism and so on.

"Be careful, that youkai might be hiding in a tree!"

Jiang Xuan's heart moved, and he took the lead and walked towards the big tree, Chang Xiaotu and Jiang Qiang were behind him, showing a triangular formation, Gou Ritian opened the way in front and came to the big tree.

As I got closer, I could see more and more clearly, this tree was actually much thicker than it looked at it from a distance, and the body of the tree was probably not hugged by three people, and there were circles of spiraling vines on the tree, climbing all the way up.

"Climb up and see. Jiang Xuan looked up, the layers of dense branches had completely blocked the sunlight, and he couldn't see what was on it. However, the height of the tree is limited, so there is no danger to them, and even if they climb to the highest, three or four stories high, they may not be injured if they jump directly.

Lying on his stomach, the vines protruding from the tree are like steps, it is very convenient to climb up, Gou Ritian is still in a dog-like state, Jiang Xuan let him stay under the tree, and then took Chang Xiaotu and Jiang Hard, holding the tree with both hands open, and slowly climbing up with the vines under his feet.

The nearest branch is only two or three meters from the ground, and after climbing two or three times along the vines, it enters the branches and leaves, except for the dead leaf branches, there is nothing abnormal around, and there are more dense woods overhead, Jiang Xuanchong followed Chang Xiaotu behind him with an OK gesture, and then continued to climb up.

The strange thing is that this tree is not too tall, Jiang Xuan actually feels a little tired lying on his stomach, and when he looks at his watch, he has actually climbed for almost fifteen minutes.

"How could it be so long?" Jiang Xuan was slightly stunned, this big tree was three or four stories tall from the outside, according to their speed, it climbed to the top and lasted five minutes, but fifteen minutes passed, not only did they not reach the top, but when they looked up, the branches and leaves above their heads were still as dense as they were at the beginning, and they couldn't see any sunlight.

There was no sunlight even around, and a large number of branches and leaves were layered together, enveloping them.

"Something is wrong, little rabbit, Jiang hard, you go down first!" Jiang Xuan chuckled in his heart, and bowed his head to Chang Xiaotu and said.

It doesn't matter, I was startled when I saw it, it turned out that Jiang Gang and Chang Xiaotu, who were closely following him, had no trace of them!

There were a few dog barks from below, as if Gou Ritian was calling.

"Bunny!"

"Ginger hard!"

Jiang Xuan screamed a few times, but there was no response, but a gust of wind came from the gap between the branches and leaves, and he felt that he was not on a tree only a few meters above the ground at all, but from the top of a cliff.

Jiang Xuan is a little inexplicable, although Chang Xiaotu and Jiang Jian are usually quite individual, but they never drop the chain on big issues, how can they return without saying hello? Even if they return, they should agree to call them, although they are surrounded by branches and leaves, and they can't see the ground clearly, but the height should be limited, so that they can't hear their own shouts below.

What's weird?

Jiang Xuan called two more times, but there was still no response from the two of them under the tree, only Gou Ritian's intermittent cry, which sounded very distant.

I don't know what happened, let these two guys go back without saying hello, Jiang Xuan looked up at it, and decided to go back to the ground for the time being, meet with Chang Xiaotu and them, and figure out the situation.

Hold on to the big tree and return a little down.

But soon, Jiang Xuan really realized that he had encountered a big trouble that he had never been in before!

Can't go back!

When I came up, it took me a total of fifteen minutes to climb here, but I returned the same way, and after fifteen minutes, I didn't return to the ground at all, and even the surrounding environment did not change.

A cold sweat broke out on his forehead, could this be the legendary ghost hitting the wall?

However, even if a ghost hits the wall, it is necessary to use the complex surrounding environment to give people the illusion of a sense of direction, in short, they can't find the direction. However, the path of this big tree is only in two directions, up and down, and although there are many branches around, it is impossible to have an impact on the direction.

If they are lost, what about Chang Xiaotu and Jiang Qiang? Are they also lost, if they are lost, the only possibility is that they are still below themselves.

But the tree was so tall that if they were down there, they would have reached the ground a long time ago.

calmed down a little, and shouted under the tree again, this time it was good, and there was no response from Gou Ritian.

"I don't believe it yet!"

Jiang Xuan's face sank, and he continued to step on the vines and return downward, this time he hugged the big tree and meandered down, walking for half an hour, but the situation did not change at all, it was still on the big tree, and it could not reach the sky or the ground.

Not only did the situation not change, Jiang Xuan himself also felt a burst of fatigue, climbing a tree was originally more physically demanding, plus he had been beating the drum in his heart, and his physical consumption had almost doubled.

Holding the big tree, I stretched out my head and looked down, thinking that otherwise I would jump straight down, maybe I would fall to the ground in one jump?

Through the dense branches under your feet, you can't see the ground, and you can't tell how high it is, that is, there are two other possibilities, if you jump, you may fall to your death, or you may be hung on a branch.

You can't be brute, it seems that you still underestimated the enemy before.

There was a thick branch with two thighs under his feet, barely able to sit on it, Jiang Xuan sat on it with his back against the tree, let out a long sigh, took out a bottle of bread and water from his backpack, and began to eat to replenish his strength.

Although he suddenly faced the big problem in front of him, Jiang Xuan didn't feel too scared, the rough line nerves honed by dealing with various little monsters for a long time played a role at this time, he was used to things that were unreasonable and strange, even if a big-headed ghost suddenly appeared in front of him now, he would not be frightened and panicked.

The point is, what to do now!

I was hit, and I was convinced of that. There are only two possibilities for the current situation, the first is that the tree itself is strange, for example, it is a 'magic weapon' with strange functions, and the second situation is that you and others are confused by the monster who can illusion, and everything in front of you is actually illusion.

Illusions are not destructive, on the contrary, if they are in the illusion all the time, they will be extremely dangerous. If nothing else, time doesn't deceive, if you keep being trapped here, you will have to starve to death if you eat all this food in your bag.

At this moment, a squirrel came out of nowhere, stood in front of the branch where Jiang Xuan was, glanced at him, then turned his head, pouted his big buttocks, and ran towards the end of the branch.

Jiang Xuan noticed that at the end of the branch, there seemed to be something.

He crawled on the branches, crawled over little by little, brushed aside the branches and leaves in front of him, and saw a dry and dehydrated corpse, hanging from the treetops, and an empty backpack hanging around his neck.

"What a coincidence? I just thought that I would be starved to death, and I saw a guy who was starved to death? Huh? Why is it so familiar?"

Jiang Xuan's scalp exploded.

He could clearly see that the corpse was wearing exactly the same clothes as himself, and was carrying the same bag.
