Chapter 165: Firmness

"There are a lot of monsters in the woods, I've been running away, and I heard your movement just now, so I leaned over."

Li Si's words were concise and to the point, but I could also feel the danger of his day.

There is no need to say crooked words, I looked at Li Si and asked.

"Did you see a crowd of people running away when you came?"

Li Si nodded violently.

"Yes, I don't know who they are, so I didn't show up to let them see me."

What the hell is going on with these people?

They kept saying that they wanted to send us here to worship, but in the end they themselves ran away.

And that's not the point.

The question is, what exactly are they doing this for?

Sacrifices have to be reciprocated, right? What do they get in return for doing so?

Li Si has been chased by those things for a day, and he should know more things than I do.

I hurriedly looked at Li Si again.

"Do you see what those things that chased you today?"

Li Si's body paused, hesitated for a moment, and then told me.

"I don't know what it is, but I can sense that they have a very purposeful purpose, and they seem to be an organization?"

Monsters are also organized?

I looked at the corpse on the ground again.

When I looked closely, I immediately noticed some clues.

Except for the head that had been smashed by Li Si, the rest of the monster's body seemed to be pieced together.

Some of the limbs were rotten, and some were even bones.

What's going on here?

"By the way, Brother Li, I hid in the forest before and saw that these monsters seem to be connected to a very large tree."

"A lot of light fell from the tree, and these monsters crouched under the tree."

Dropping a spot of light? Squatting under a tree?

Could it be that the tree is still controlling these things?

What's going on here?

The problems seem to be more complex than the other.

And there's no time for us to continue to explore the answer here.

"The fat man and Zhang San are still over there, I don't know their current situation, let's go find them first!"

Rather than continuing to discuss unanswered questions here, it is more prudent to find the fat man and Zhang San first.

But after my words fell, Li Si showed a meaningful expression.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Si looked at me and asked.

"Do you really want to go back?"

In his eyes, I saw a palpable fear.

You can't pretend to be this kind of look.

Maybe the shadow left on him by the things that chased him was still too deep.

I didn't know how to comfort Li Si, so I could only repeat the situation we faced with him again.

"We fell into the water when we ran away, and then returned to the woods to look for you, but we were targeted by a group of people."

……

I told Li Si everything that happened today.

After listening to my story, Li Si's brows furrowed a little deeper than just now.

"Are those who ran away the same ones who tied you back?"

"When you say sacrifice, will you just go to sacrifice to the tree?"

Li Si's question also has a little truth.

If it was really to sacrifice the tree, the answer to the question might lie in that tree.

Thinking of this, I turned my face and told Li Si.

"Okay, then let's go back to the fat man now!"

"They should not be far from the tree you were talking about."

Zhang San's eyes flickered, but he quickly returned to normal, and he didn't say any more nonsense, and followed me directly.

Thunder continued to explode in the sky.

The rumbling thunder was like a heavy drum.

This whole forest is in a sense of doom as if it had been damned.

Every step we take, we feel apprehensive in our hearts.

"This, why hasn't it rained yet?" Li Si raised his head.

I followed him and lifted my head.

The canopy here is not as dense as in the hinterland.

Through the sparse branches, you can also see some of the sky.

I saw the thick dark clouds rolling and enveloping the entire sky.

Lightning like a silver dragon kept wandering in the dark clouds.

I've never seen anything like it.

It's as if something is in trouble.

"Brother Li, it's almost here, be careful!" Li Si reminded me and took out his weapon from his bag.

Suddenly, a strange sensation came from under my feet.

It's like stepping on something soft and sticky at the same time.

This kind of touch is by no means something that plants in nature can bring.

It's more like a rotting corpse, but not completely decomposed.

As soon as you step down, the soup is watery, sticky and thick.

I didn't look down, I pulled my foot out.

At that moment, a stench rushed into my nostrils.

My body instinctively stepped back.

The foot that landed on the ground happened to be the foot that had just sunk in.

This foot is covered in sticky filth.

When the viscous and filthy liquid touched the ground, it became extremely slippery.

Stumbling, I collapsed.

A skull with a bit of rotten flesh still hanging from it was facing me.

Its mouth was wide open, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying in its lifetime, and it was still screaming when it was dying.

The hairs wrapped in filthy liquid were so long that the sex of the corpse's owner could be seen at a glance.

The bow on the top of the skull's skull also indicates that she is not very old.

Perhaps this is the most rational time in my life, and I can analyze all the key information of this corpse in such a short time.

Li Si stretched out his hand and pulled me up.

"There are many corpses like this, and I have counted them at first, at least there are hundreds of dead people."

Hundreds?

If in addition to the dense corpses on the canopy of the forest hinterland.

I don't know how many people died in this place.

"Brother Li, I want to burn this place with a fire, what do you think?" Li Si suddenly looked at me and said.

I thought he would say that he would leave quickly after finding the fat man and Zhang San.

I really didn't expect him to want to burn this place with a fire.

Another thunderbolt fell, setting fire to the bush next to me.

The flames suddenly rose into the sky, and the flames spread out like a tide.

The two of us were in a damp position, so we didn't have to worry about the fire.

Looking at the dancing flames, it was like a twisted demon coming out of hell.

Those who are fangs and claws want to invade the world.

In the face of this beating flame, the eyes of the two of us were more determined.

Although none of us consider ourselves to be any savior.

But we will not hesitate or be vague about what should be done.

With a decision in mind, we glanced at each other and began to discuss the next steps.

Prepare to break out of this strange situation.
