There is also a layer of ash on the ground of the woods, and everywhere we can see, there is a layer of ash. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This gas has spread throughout the region, and it is impossible to find a safe place to hide.

The sun had sunk below the horizon, and there was still a little light on the horizon. There is no artificial lighting in such a remote place. When it gets dark, the place will be dark.

Gray stared at the twisted woods in front of him, he knew the danger of such a place. Even if you are trapped inside, even if you are not killed by evil spirits, you may starve to death because you can't get out. For him, this is probably the most painful way to die.

We are faced with two choices, one is to stay outside the forest and wait for the unknown. The other is to go into the warped forest and fight it, and maybe get out of here.

Lu Jie said: "It is impossible to grow such a large area of woods at once, this must be some kind of trick. Magic done with mirrors and the like. As long as we keep moving forward, we can get out. ”

"It's not as simple as you say, this thing is called a ghost hitting the wall!" I explained, "There are many reasons for this, but there is only one result, and it is difficult to get out if you get in." We've been lucky enough to get out of it before, but it's not a ghost hit at all. ”

"What should I do then?" Lu Jie's emotions were a little excited, there was no way out on one side, and the mountain village on the other side became more and more terrifying. Far away, not to mention close, there were five or six ghosts formed of gray gas hovering in the air above the graveyard, and a huge skull was formed in the center of the graveyard, with a diameter of two or three meters at the widest point. It was slowly turning its head, two hollow eye sockets staring at us.

On the one hand, Lu Jie was afraid of it, and on the other hand, she probably felt a little guilty for dragging us in. Mood is a little unstable. I was about to cry.

"If I had to choose, I'd choose the Twisted Woods. "The biggest threat comes from the back mountains. I have a not-so-reliable assumption that the farther away you are, the weaker your influence will be.

"What about you?" Lu Jie asked, staring at Gray.

"Me?" said Gray, clapping his hands, "I listen to him." ”

"It looks like we've agreed

。 I turned to look at the twisted woods, the twisted trunks like ghost hands. In the farther distance, it is not clear to see, a large area of shadows.

Each tree looks similar in shape and looks similar, but when you look closely, it is a little different. Standing on the edge of the woods and watching for a while, I felt a little dizzy. This is not yet in the woods.

"Now that it's decided, let's go. I can't do it, I can cut a path. "We also have a sapper shovel in our hand, which I gave to Gray. If the shovel can't cut it, use the small golden sword as a last resort.

Gray led the way into the twisted jungle, followed by Lu Jie. I'm at the back.

It's quiet in the twisted woods, but it's not absolutely quiet, walking in the jungle there are other sounds besides our own footsteps. There were some very subtle sounds, like the small sound of rats running in the dead of night, and like the sound of insects gnawing on wood.

Walking in the woods is like walking through a nightmare, and fear eats away at you little by little. Until you have a nervous breakdown and wake up from your sleep. Everything seems to be gone, but it doesn't take long for you to hear a strange noise around you.

"Wait. "I stopped Gray.

Lu Jie asked nervously, "Questions?"

"You make a mark on the tree, and if we get lost, we can find our way by following the mark. I proposed.

"That's a good idea!" Gray picked up his shovel and slashed heavily at the trunk. This cut was so deep that the shovel sank in. Gray jerked hard before he withdrew his shovel.

"Let's go!" Gray strode on.

I walked up to the tree and smelled a faint smell of blood in the air. I stopped, and the smell of blood grew stronger.

"Why don't you leave?" asked Lu Jie.

"Look at this!" I pointed at Gray's cut, a dark red liquid coming out of the wound that looked sticky.

This is the case with some special trees in nature, such as rubber. I don't think these trees are rubber trees.

The smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger, I dip a little bit with my fingers, and when I get it, I look at it through the faint light, and the blood is red!

The tree is bleeding!

Trees are not people, not even animals, how can trees bleed?

Gray didn't believe in evil, and brandished the shovel in his hand, cutting a cut in every tree around him. After waiting for less than half a minute, dark red blood flowed out, and the smell of blood in the air became even heavier.

Lu Jie covered her nose, and after a while, she should vomit. Let's move on. After walking more than ten meters, the smell of blood faded a little.

The strange softness in the woods was much louder, as if it were an accusation against Gray. He felt that something was wrong and asked, "This can't be an illusion, what I just cut down is not a tree at all, but a big living person!"

"Don't think about it, a tree is a tree, how can it be a person. I wiped the cow's tears, and I could see that there was a problem. ”

"That's good!" Gray settled down a little, but he no longer had to cut down trees with a shovel. It had to be marked in a different way.

The last light on the horizon was gone, and the five fingers in the twisted trees could not be reached, and they would accidentally crash into the trunk of the tree

"Fortunately, I have a little more preparation. Gray unscrewed the tail of the folding shovel, and after unscrewing it, there were many gadgets, one of which was a small flashlight. There is also a bag with emergency food.

Unscrewing the small flashlight, the snow-white light pierced the darkness, although the illuminated range was small and the distance was very close. But there's finally light.

"Let's eat something!" Gray tore open the bag, revealing chocolate inside. Each of us divided a small piece.

As a foodie, it takes a lot of perseverance to be willing to share what little food you have.

"Forget it, I won't eat it, you can eat it. Gray excused.

"You have to eat. Gray said firmly: "The night has just begun, and there is no telling what will happen later." It is necessary to retain physical strength. ”

"He's right, eat. "I put the chocolate in my mouth.

I just replenished a little bit of energy, and I felt a lot more comfortable. I would be happier if I didn't have the twisted strange trees around me.

After walking for half an hour, Gray stopped. We've been a few kilometers away, and we don't see the slightest hope of getting out. The scene around me has not changed much from when I came in, it is still an endless twisted strange tree.

The only thing that has changed is the gray gas on the ground, and it is about to retreat. And it's quite dense, so that people can't see the situation under their feet, and every step has to be steady.

Gray said in as calm a tone as he could, "It looks like we're stuck in the woods, and we're going to be here tonight." ”

"Standing in this gray air, I can't sleep. Let's keep walking, maybe a few more steps and get out. Lu Jie said.

I glanced ahead, and there was still no end in sight, only an endless endless number of twisted monster trees.

"I have an idea!" Gray pointed his finger upward.

I looked up and saw that the night sky was also pitch black, and I couldn't see anything.

"What do you mean?" I didn't understand.

Gray explained: "I mean climb up the tree and have a look, as the saying goes, you don't mean climb high and see far!"

"Then you can try!" Lu Jie and I waited under the tree, although there was no danger at the moment, it didn't mean that there was no threat.

Gray's huge body was quite agile, and he climbed to the top of the tree with a few clicks of grasping the thick trunk. Stand up and look left and right.

"Slow down, don't break the trunk. "I was worried that the trunk wouldn't be able to hold his weight.

"What do you see?" asked Lu Jie.

"It's pitch black here, there's nothing. On the other side, something seems to be wrong. I looked at the flickering firelight, and it seemed like there were still human figures. It's too far away to see very clearly. ”

The place where there is a fire should be Zhang Village, it seems that the villagers have gone out and are doing special activities. The only regret is that we don't see it.

Lu Jie asked, "In which direction is the firelight moving?"

Gray looked at it for a while and said, "I don't know if this is good news, but the fire didn't enter the mountain, but moved towards us. ”
