Chapter Twenty-Three: The Demon Tree
The weather in the mountains changes like a baby's face, and the sky is still clear just now, and in the blink of an eye, the sky is dark.
Dark clouds hung over the sky, the wind was fierce, and dark red lightning flickered like a strange silver snake.
The black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the heavy sense of oppression made people almost suffocate.
Shen Can walked into the vast primeval forest alone with a shotgun on his back, even if he entered and exited several times, it was still difficult to adapt to the strange atmosphere here, the ground of the forest was piled with thick leaves, and the smell of corruption filled the air.
Shen Can held the shotgun tightly in his hand, only to feel that there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes peeping at him in the depths of the dark forest, and it seemed that something terrible would rush out and attack him at any time.
What a big tree!
Shen Can was shocked by the towering tree in front of him, and ten people hugged him, towering into the sky and soaring into the sky, unable to see where the end was.
The thick vines are like dragons wrapped around the ancient tree, majestic and magnificent, and people look incomparably small when standing under the tree.
Underneath the root of the tree was a bottomless tree hole, which was very large, nearly a person wide, as if the tree in front of him was a terrible monster, and the terrifying hole was the mouth of the dryad.
With a burst of thunder, the wind suddenly blows, the branches dance like demons, and the leaves fall like snowflakes, Shen Canse shrank his body and struggled to fight against the wind, and inadvertently glanced at his head, but was taken aback.
Not far from the top of his head, about five meters above the ground, something was hanging staggeringly, swinging back and forth with the gusts of wind.
That seems to ...... It's personal.
Shen Can subconsciously got a little closer, his eyes opened to the maximum in an instant, and he felt a tingling of his scalp.
That's right, that's the individual.
And the man himself knows it.
Shen Can recognized this little figure hanging in the air at a glance, wasn't it the little boy?
His face was pale, his tongue was long, his face was twisted in pain from suffocation, and he was hung alone in the gloomy forest, his body swaying in the wind.....
It doesn't look like the corpse has just died, but the system only informed it that there are still four people alive in the morning, if it's not this child, who should be the rest of the people?
No, no, no, something must be wrong.
Shen Can slapped his cheeks with both hands and tried to sober himself up, his brain was running rapidly at the same time, carefully recalling these things that happened in a short period of time.
Shen Can had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought that on the way back yesterday, he found that the bodies of the three people had disappeared, and he originally thought that they had been taken away by the villagers, could it be that any of them had not died yet?
He can be sure that the thin monkey was killed by his own hands, and as for the big bald head, the "graphics card" has fallen off, and he must not die anymore, as for the black suit... By the way, it was him, although he watched him fly out with a shot from Luo Xueling, he didn't confirm whether he really lost his breath.
Hissโ
Shen Can couldn't help but gasp, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of fear, he and the others had already caused an endless situation with the black suit, if he was still alive, he would definitely not give up so well.
And he and others still don't know where the black suit is hiding, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, the current black suit is tantamount to a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, and it may rush out at any time to bite his own fatal bite.
Especially at this time, they are still acting separately, if it is a black suit at this time, wouldn't it be ...
Shen Can thought of Lin Yi's strange skills and his fast-healing physique, and he was a little relieved that he handed over the pistol in the black suit to Luo Xueling before leaving.
The most important thing now is to find Ding Wang as soon as possible and leave quickly.
The wind howled, and the dead body hanging from the tree staggered, and the branches of the tree with ropes gradually became overwhelmed and broken. The mangled body of the little boy fell from mid-air to the ground.
The sudden heavy muffled sound startled Shen Can.
After all, they were acquainted, and they couldn't bear to expose the other party's corpse to the wilderness, so Shen Can thought about it for a while and decided to bury him.
Shen Can swallowed his saliva, forcibly endured the uneasiness in his heart, and cautiously walked towards the corpse lying on the ground.
Boom... Boom...
The sudden eerie sneer frightened Shen Can's soul, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the source of the sound, and retracted his feet that had just stepped out like an electric shock.
The eerie sneer came from the direction of the corpse lying on the ground.
The corpse that had fallen to the ground moved violently, like a puppet with a string, stiff and slow as it tried to get up from the ground.
Tricked corpse!!!
Shen Can only felt that his scalp was numb, and he turned around and wanted to run, but the gloomy laughter seemed to have some kind of magic, making him feel that the world was spinning, and his body seemed to be motionless as if it had been pointed.
The air is filled with a faint scent, as if Manju Sawa is leading people to hell.
The little boy's body finally rose from the ground, yellow and thin, as if it had been sucked dry of nutrients from its body.
His eyes were hollow, his pupils were dilated, just one step, one step, dragging heavy steps, constantly approaching in the direction of Shen Can.
The starry sky was dark, the clouds obscured the hazy moonlight, and the north wind howled through the gloomy woods, and the atmosphere became more and more eerie.
Thirty meters... Twenty meters... Ten meters...
The corpse's footsteps were not fast, they could even be called slow, but with every step he took, Shen Can's heart felt as if it had been hammered hard.
Shen Can's chest breathed rapidly, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his temples, no matter how desperately he struggled, it was extremely difficult to move a finger like a ghost pressing the bed.
At this moment, the little boy was less than two meters away from his position, and the stench of decay emanated from the other party's body. In the depths of the other party's dilated pupils, a faint dark red light flashed imperceptibly.
Like a marionette, he raised his head stiffly, the little boy opened his mouth with a whining and strange scream, and then the verdant branches stretched out from his mouth, and the branches spread like poisonous snakes, quietly winding Shen Can, and in a blink of an eye, Shen Can was wrapped like a dumpling, and his whole body was tightly strangled, and Shen Can's bones let out an overwhelming scream.
Shen Can noticed that there was a vine connected to the back of the little boy's corpse from beginning to end, and he struggled to glance at the towering tree above his head, which was densely covered with countless dried corpses of humans and animals.
But why didn't you find out just now?
Could it be that all this is a trap, damn, this tree is simply a sperm, and it can even be demagogic.
A bewitching flower quietly bloomed at the end of the branch, and the center of the stamen quietly opened, and the inside was covered with dense fangs like sharp teeth.
Shen Can was full of despair, like falling into an ice cave, he didn't expect that he would die so aggrieved and become the nourishment of this demon tree.
