Chapter 479: In the body of the giant tree
The passage is quite long, but there are potholes around it, and in the process of sliding down, a lot of soil drilled into Hua Mengyu's clothes, and her hair and face were covered with dust.
Hua Mengyu hurriedly closed her eyes and mouth, trying not to breathe, so that the soil would not enter her nasal cavity and would not be very uncomfortable.
After sliding for a long time, Hua Mengyu showed no signs of stopping, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Hua Mengyu couldn't stop thinking in her heart, am I on the same path as Brother Yue? I'm not going to jump to an unknown place, am I?
"Dream rain, put your feet on both sides." Just when Hua Mengyu was in turmoil, Yue Xuan's voice came up from below.
Hua Mengyu listened to Yue Xuan's words, opened her feet, and stepped on the soil on both sides to slow down the descent.
Although this method was stupid and useless, it still helped Hua Mengyu to alleviate the panic in her heart.
Suddenly, Hua Mengyu's feet were caught by something.
Hua Mengyu was startled, she was about to kick when she raised her feet, and she was caught in it, but it didn't end well, if the giant tree woke up and the roots entangled her, it would be even worse.
Speaking of which, the two of them are now inside the giant tree, operating inside the root system of the giant tree, and they will wake up the giant tree if they are not careful.
"Don't move!" Yue Xuan shouted suddenly, stopping Hua Mengyu's movements in time.
Otherwise, Yuexuan would be kicked by Hua Mengyu.
As soon as Hua Mengyu wanted to open her mouth to speak, the surrounding soil rushed to her mouth, so frightened that she quickly closed her mouth.
Yue Xuan also stopped talking, but the hand that grabbed Hua Mengyu's foot never let go, and it became tighter and tighter, so that she felt a little painful.
"Bang-" The two of them slammed to the ground.
Hua Mengyu felt that her back was torn, and her clothes were stuck to her back.
Yue Xuan's reaction was faster than her, and she came to her senses for a long time, and reached out to pull Hua Mengyu up.
"Two more times, and my back won't be gone." Hua Mengyu couldn't help but complain.
"It's okay to come down, but it's a problem to go up." Yue Xuan looked up.
Hua Mengyu's eyes also looked up, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Can we still go up?" Hua Mengyu's words were not only for Yuexuan beside her, but also for herself.
Above their heads, there is a space dozens of feet high, at a glance, it looks like a deep hollow, and there are many small white dots hanging on it, which is not terrible, but a little small and cute.
Raising his eyes and looking around, it was as far as a hundred zhang, and it was a closed space inside, and the hole where Hua Mengyu and Yuexuan fell had been sealed by the mud, and there was no exit and direction at all.
At this time, Hua Mengyu understood why Yue Xuan said that just now, they couldn't even find the way, how could they get out?
"This tree is so big, I thought the crown was big enough, but I didn't expect there to be such a big space under the roots of this tree, what kind of tree is this, it will have such a peculiar appearance."
Hua Mengyu couldn't help but marvel, what they saw above was far less than what they looked like below.
"You smell." Yue Xuan's nose moved, as if he smelled something.
"It's ...... The smell of blood? Hua Mengyu sniffed it carefully and said uncertainly.
"Well, such a strong smell of blood is not something that can be formed in a year or two, and with the sound of it just falling, I suspect that someone is feeding this giant tree with monks.
That's why this giant tree is so nutritious and grows so big, and this tree has definitely become a sperm, and with consciousness, it can absorb the essence blood and spiritual power in the monk's body.
We have to be careful, this giant tree doesn't know when it will wake up. ”
Yue Xuan looked around and quickly analyzed their current situation.
"There were about a dozen falling sounds, indicating that there were about ten monks who were thrown down, and two more were lost in the back, but what about those people, who disappeared so quickly?
If it is really as Brother Yue said, this giant tree needs to absorb the essence blood and spiritual power of the monk, then it must take time to absorb it, and it is impossible to absorb it so quickly.
Moreover, after the monk's essence blood and spiritual power are consumed, the corpse will definitely remain, this tree absorbs the monk, and the people who feed this giant tree are also monks, they dare not come down, otherwise they will definitely be used as feeding food.
But we're safe and sound now, maybe the giant tree is full now, or it's eating, and we can find the information we need during this time period. ”
Hua Mengyu also reacted quickly, and then expressed her understanding.
"Well, you have a point." Yue Xuan glanced at Hua Mengyu appreciatively, she didn't expect Hua Mengyu to progress so quickly and react so quickly.
"Let's go ahead, maybe there's something ahead." The direction that Yue Xuan pointed to was a place of light.
There are such places all around, and those bright places are little by little, like shining spirit grass, and it is precisely because of this that they can see the surrounding situation clearly under such a dark underground.
Otherwise, the two of them are black-eyed, where can they still see the situation below.
The two of them clasped hands and walked forward together.
But as soon as she walked in, Hua Mengyu frowned, where did she seem to have seen this scene?
Yue Xuan had been paying attention to Hua Mengyu's emotions, and when she frowned, she felt strange.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I think I've seen this scene, but I don't remember, but I always felt like it wasn't a good thing."
Hua Mengyu shook her head, a scene flashed through her mind, but it quickly disappeared, she attributed this to the fact that her injuries had not yet recovered, so her memory was still a little missing.
"If you can't think about it, you don't want to, sooner or later you will find the truth." Yue Xuan touched her head soothingly.
Tell her not to think about those scenes again, lest she think of something bad.
"Let's open it and take a look, there are so many bulges here, maybe there are some secrets hidden in it, let's take a trip, we can't go home empty-handed."
Hua Mengyu felt that Yue Xuan was right, it was useless to think hard if she couldn't think of it, it was better to deal with the things in front of her first.
Yue Xuan neatly opened a bulge, and as soon as he opened it, a foul smell rushed to his nose.
The two of them covered their noses and took a step back, and saw a white skeleton fall out.
"It's a white bone, it seems that we guessed correctly, this giant tree really survives on the monk's essence blood and spiritual power, and the giant tree absorbs the monk and provides nutrition for itself, so it grows so big."
"Look at the bones, it should be a man, tall, look at the extent of the decay of the bones, the time of death is at least ten years ago."
Yue Xuan stepped forward to take a look, and the bones were really only bones left, and they fell apart in the process of falling out.
"Look at the others." Hua Mengyu also scratched a bulge next to her, and a corpse also fell out of it.
It's just that this one is relatively young, and it seems that it was only recently dropped, and the skin is still on the body, but the flesh and blood are gone.
"This may be the monks who entered the fairy realm this time, but they were caught here so quickly, it seems that the enemy is moving faster than we thought."
Yue Xuan raised his eyebrows, the degree of corruption of this corpse is not high, and the time of death is not long, it is likely that it is the monk who entered the fairy realm with them this time.
But it would take them a few months at most to enter the fairyland, but this person had already turned into a corpse, indicating that he was probably caught a long time ago.
"There are so many bulges here, even if we open them one by one, we can't finish them, and I don't know how many there are."
It turned out that not only they had it in front of them, but also in a circle around them, and what made Hua Mengyu get goosebumps even more was that there was a bulge under this bulge!
