Chapter 40: Humanoid Hanging Vines
Not far behind him is the dirt road, and the black fog on the other side of the dirt road is filled, and this scene has not changed much.
I looked across the lake, and I could see far away, but I couldn't see the other side of the lake, let alone the big tigers.
It's really strange, although I swim desperately in the water, but there are only a few minutes inside and out, it stands to reason that it is impossible to cross the big lake, but what is going on now? I remember clearly that the direction of the swim was away from the shore, and it was getting farther and farther away from the shore because of the drowning ghost's pursuit.
It's really too puzzling, according to my estimate, it should have swam to the center of the lake, and there are no small islands in the big lake, so wait for the bottom to die.
But why did he suddenly climb ashore and return to the dirt road?
I don't understand.
I suddenly remembered the situation when we were driving not long ago, obviously driving in the direction of the Great Lake, but the fact is that we are traveling around the Great Lake.
"Could it be that the sense of direction and distance in this hellish place is fake, what I perceive is not real, and the real situation is by no means what the eyes see?"
That's all I can say, or I wouldn't have been able to convince myself at all.
"Forget it, don't think about it, this place is a dead ghost again, and a zombie ancestral hall, it's normal for something incredible to happen."
I muttered, found a dry place, took off my clothes, squeezed the water out with my hands, and then put it back on my body again, although it was very uncomfortable, but I couldn't run around shirtless, right? I can only do it.
Luckily, there was still bread in the pocket, and the plastic packaging was not damaged.
The mountaineering bags were all left in the nanny's car, and the supplies were tight.
I tore open the package, ate the bread in two bites, and then I felt a little stronger.
"It's about to be tossed and scattered, who is it that you are provoking whom?"
With resentment churning in my heart, I sorted it out, and with my sword in my right hand and a patrol token in my left, I walked along the dirt road.
There's no purpose, just to wonder if you can meet the big tigers?
As a rule of thumb, walking on dirt roads always involves encountering other pedestrians, no matter where they come from or which direction they are heading.
As for the black fog area on the other side of the dirt road? I won't even go in if I'm killed.
In this way, I felt that I had traveled for more than half an hour, but the scene in front of me had not changed much, there was black fog on one side of the dirt road, and the large lake was not far away on the other side, and when I looked up, the full moon and starlight did not move.
It feels like I'm standing still, and nothing has changed at all.
But I'm calmer than ever, and as long as I'm alive, I'll keep moving, and sooner or later there will be changes.
This hellish place wants my life one after another, but it certainly doesn't know that my life is certain.
'Tomb Bell No. 63' said clearly, I still have six or seven days of life, this ghost place wants to harvest my life in advance, that is, against the fixed number of the underworld, how can it be so easy to succeed?
For the first time, I found that I knew that I only had less than a week left to live, but there was still such a benefit?
It can establish immortal faith.
At least not right now.
There was a bend ahead, and there was a particularly tall old tree next to the bend.
I was shocked and I had never seen anything like it before, indicating that this was a dirt road that I had not passed.
That's a change, right?
I'm at the bend.
"Brother Du, help."
A very faint voice suddenly came.
I snapped my head to the spot, feeling unbelievable in my heart, and slowly looked up at the old tree on the side of the road.
The foliage above was luxuriant, with old vines entwined, and something like a cocoon, hanging from a tall branch.
If you look closely, you can see that it is a humanoid object entangled in wild vines, swaying from side to side with the wind.
I met a pair of eyes, peeking through the void of the wild vines.
"Yishuang, is that you?"
My voice trembled.
"Brother Du, it's me, help me, woo."
Meng Yishuang responded weakly from a high place.
I was shocked, Meng Yishuang's life is really hard, he didn't die after such a toss?
Heaven bless.
"Don't struggle, it's easy to fall, you'll get hurt, I'll climb the tree to save you."
I hurriedly shouted.
"Woo, Brother Du......." Meng Yishuang was crying.
"Don't cry, don't panic, I'll come up."
Looking up and coaxing Meng Yishuang, I looked at the ancient tree next to the bend, and I was very vigilant in my heart, paying special attention to the wild vines on the ancient tree.
But it's not the same as the demon vine that dragged Meng Yishuang away in my memory, the green vine wrapped around the ancient tree doesn't seem to be demonic, it looks like an ordinary vine, but I'm not sure.
You have to test before you decide how to respond.
Having made up my mind, I walked around to the tree, took out my black short sword, and stabbed it at the green vine.
Burst!
The black sword smoothly pierced the green vine and stabbed into the body of the tree.
My heart is in my throat, and I'm ready to respond.
After waiting for a few seconds, there was no abnormality at all, no smoke from the vines and ancient trees, and no abnormal movement. It means that they are normal trees and wild vines.
The unsheathed black sword was held in my mouth, I looked up, held it with both hands, moved my wrist joint, and then, after moving my neck a few times, I was ready, and then I took a deep breath, reached out and clasped the bark and green vines, and climbed up with my hands and feet.
Climbing trees is also one of my strengths, and it's a big hit at the moment.
When I was a child, I was naughty more than anyone else, I did a lot of things up and down the mountain, I was proficient in swimming, climbing trees, digging holes, planting vegetables, etc., at the moment, I was an all-rounder, not to mention an expert in car repair.
It can be said that my survivability is already a little stronger than that of ordinary people.
After a few minutes, I climbed to a high place, hugged the branches that grew out, tried it first, and felt that the weight of Meng Yishuang and me would not break, so I climbed upside down.
Gradually approaching where Meng Yishuang was, her eyes were watching me through the vines, full of anticipation.
"Brother Du, snake, be careful!"
Meng Yishuang suddenly exclaimed.
I was so startled that I fell down with my hand, and hurriedly hugged the branch, and when I looked up, I saw a green-skinned snake covered with white spots raising its triangular head on the trunk, spitting out scarlet snake hyacinths, and a chilling breath was transmitted with this aggressive preparation.
If Meng Yishuang hadn't warned me in advance, I would have hooked the body of the poisonous snake with my hand, and I would have been bitten by it.
"Whew!"
When it was too late, the poisonous snake rushed over, and the boss of the snake's mouth was open, and the terrifying venom shone on the fangs, and it bit me fiercely!
There didn't seem to be any thoughts flashing in his head, but his hand was faster than his thoughts, and he retracted it violently, and he had already grasped the handle of the black sword in his mouth, and his wrist shook, hum! The black sword sliced through the air and flashed in front of it.
Poof!
A hideous snake head fell to the ground, and immediately after, the headless snake body sprayed with cold blood also fell.
It was only then that I came back to my senses, staring blankly at the blood-stained black sword in my hand, in disbelief.
You know, the speed of the poisonous snake's bite is too fast, and it is difficult for ordinary people to react, but I was stunned to swing my sword to fight back in such a short time.
Not only did he fight back, but he also accurately cut off the head of the poisonous snake, and this level of sword movement has exceeded my own cognition.
"Am I a talent for this?"
I couldn't understand the thought that was churning in my mind.
If you don't understand it, you don't want to think about it, and the speed of using the short sword has become faster, which is a good thing.
Whether it's dealing with poisonous snakes, evil spirits, and zombies, it can be used.
As for why the reaction speed has become faster? I have a vague feeling in my heart that it must have something to do with Tomb Bell No. 63, and although I can't feel its existence, it must inhabit me in a form I don't understand.
"Could it be that thing can also subtly improve physical fitness? Speed up a person's nervous reactions? ”
I secretly guessed that the black sword was sheathed in my backhand and held in my hand.
After slashing the viper, I didn't dare bite it with my mouth again.
"Woo, Brother Du, it's so dangerous, it scared me to death, fortunately you reacted quickly."
Meng Yishuang cried and shouted.
I climbed over her and took a closer look at what had trapped her, a cage woven of vines, shaped like a cocoon.
The upper part is made of many green vines twisted together and wrapped around the trunk of the tree, which plays the role of hanging.
