Li Heng's eyes were slightly sunken, and his subordinates no longer exerted their strength, but gently stirred with the rocky soil like a professional archaeologist, and cleaned up the buried things inside little by little.

The human bone slowly revealed its full outline from the earth and stone underground, even though it had been broken by Li Heng.

To be reasonable, this kind of scene should be very terrifying and terrifying.

In the middle of the night, it was pitch black, surrounded by uninhabited deep mountains and old forests, and he was alone in this desperate situation that seemed to be isolated from the world, and he also dug up a human skeleton from the ground with his bare hands.

Coupled with the whimpering wind from time to time and the strange chirping of various unknown creatures in the depths of the mountains, there is a sense of horror as if you are in the shadows, which is at least a restrictive shot of a suspense horror film.

It is thanks to a guy like Li Heng whose mental strength has exceeded one hundred and sixteen, and he has the willpower that can be called the limit of human beings, so that he can continue to "work" here expressionlessly, not like digging bones in the mountains, but playing in the sand on the resort beach.

On the surface, it seems that this is at most a murder and dumping of a body from many years ago, and in order to prevent exposure, it is smuggled to such a place away from people for burial.

There have been many such things in the past, and when you encounter this kind of thing, call the relevant departments to see if it is related to some old cases.

But if you think about it a little, it makes sense.

What kind of murderer would have planted a tree on it and fertilized it intimately? It's a seven-mile incense.

What's the matter, the Huangquan Road is fragrant all the way?

If anything, this scenario is more like ...... Use this person to feed the tree?

However, this conjecture is a bit too frightening, and there is some evil meaning in it.

"The world is full of mysteries"

Li Hengxin said.

Continuing to carefully dig down the earth and rocks, the hole became deeper and bigger, and about a third of the roots of the Qilixiang tree were exposed.

The shape of the skeleton is also roughly presented, and the bones of each part have disintegrated under the weight of the earth, rocks and trees, but the shape of each part can be roughly seen, ribs, shoulder blades, cervical vertebrae...... Scattered in the layers of soil and stones, the roots of Qilixiang have been deeply rooted in these white bones and blended together, and it is difficult to separate.

As Li Heng continued to excavate, more of the skeleton was presented as a humanoid structure, however......

There is only one part missing, a crucial part - the head!

There were no remains of a skull near the cervical vertebrae, and Li Heng had opened a considerable area nearby but could not find it.

As for the complete decay of the skull, it is impossible to say that the skeleton of these torso parts is still preserved, and it is impossible for the skull with the highest hardness and densest in the human body to disappear.

Buried here is a headless corpse.

It's confusing that the head is missing.

"This headless corpse became the nourishment of this seven-mile incense tree, allowing it to grow on this barren and desolate rocky slope."

Li Heng held the Qili incense tree, and with a slight force, the whole tree trembled, and a few fallen leaves fell and were caught by Li Heng.

Put it under your nose and smell it carefully.

"It's really fragrant, much stronger than the smell I've grown in some indoor bonsai before"

In the island countries of the East, there is a saying that there are corpses buried under the cherry blossom trees - the cherry blossoms bloom because they absorb the nutrients of the corpses, and the more corpses are buried, the more brilliant the flowers will be.

Of course, this is a metaphorical statement, meaning that the more you sacrifice, the more you get, in a sense, it is their interpretation of the national character of certain times.

But what is this now, and what do you want from the trees planted on the corpses?

It's a pity that he doesn't have any analytical instruments at hand now, and there is no way to chemically identify these plant components, and he can't detect much just by smelling it.

It seems that there will be no conclusion for a while, Li Heng decided to take a break first and simply replenish his physical strength.

As for the means of supplementation......

He glanced at a crack in the stone not far away, where a fresh meat was being served.

He picked up the nearly two-meter-long Earth King Snake that died in the claws of an old cat, and then tore off the outer layer of snake skin with a simple pinch of his fingers, revealing the bright red snake flesh inside.

Simply using the stones on the stone slope to build a scaffold, and finding dry branches and weeds from the woods, Li Heng set up a simple barbecue stall on the spot.

In fact, with his current physiology, he can directly eat raw meat without making mature food, and he doesn't have to worry about any bacterial pathogens or anything, his immune system is so powerful.

But after all, as a person all year round, it is still a bit difficult to eat raw meat directly, and it tastes better when it is cooked.

Unless there is an extreme urgency, flesh and blood will be eaten raw in order to replenish energy immediately.

The crackling flames danced, reflecting on Li Heng's face, and bursts of meat fragrance came from in front of him, this was the first time he had eaten snake meat.

"Meow-"

A long cat meow came from afar, and a cat's head was recorded on the edge of the stone slope not far away, and the green cat's eyes stared straight at this side, and the tactful cry was full of grievances and unwilling grievances.

This snake corpse is obviously the trophy of his own bloody battle, and he also injured one foot, and he was originally saved to be used as a reserve food for the next few days, but it was snatched by other guys, and he couldn't beat this guy after he was done, you said that he was not angry, didn't he ...... Don't be angry with the cat!

Seeing that the big cat wanted to come over but didn't dare to come, Li Heng smiled and cut off a piece of roasted snake meat and threw it over.

"Meow~"

Watching the steaming snake meat roll not far from him, a wisp of aroma hooked it even more.

In the end, it couldn't help but meow, pounced on it and chewed it, and from time to time it made a snoring and snoring movement.

Li Heng also feasted on it, biting the hot snake body and tearing off the meat on it.

The entrance of the snake meat is very firm and lean, Li Heng originally thought that the snake meat might taste similar to the yellow eel, but after really tasting it, he found that the taste was too strong, and there was no expected strong fishy smell.

After the snake gall bladder and a bunch of internal organs are cleaned up, eating only the meat on the snake has a very light and refreshing taste, although there is no seasoning available, but it is not difficult to swallow.

Li Heng couldn't help but secretly say that another gain from traveling through the mountains and rivers is that he can taste a variety of unprecedented tastes.

One man and one cat, deep in the mountains, gnawing snakes in the night.

It's delicious and weird.

While eating, Li Heng suddenly stopped, and his bite and chewing were suspended, as if the snake meat in his mouth was no longer fragrant.

He stood up suddenly, and the speed of his movements frightened the old cat who was still gnawing on the snake.

Li Heng returned to the position of the Qili Xiang Tree again, and slowly walked a few steps around the direction of the trunk, as if he was strictly following some law under his feet, and after seven steps, he stopped.

In the darkness he looked up, and the only thing in his vision was the majestic silhouette of another behemoth in the faint starlight.

After being stunned for a while, Li Heng looked down at the bones in the tree pit again, with a rare sense of surprise in his eyes.

"What the hell is this...... Someone wants to become an immortal! ”
