After everyone packed their bags, Ban Wan carefully felt the aura around her, and her eyes lit up: "I have already felt the breath of this ghost person. ”

"Let's go, we can follow the breath and find the path of that ghost man." Ban Wan walked in front and led them to the depths of the cliff.

All the way forward, the more people go inside, the more they can feel that the rift is getting bigger and bigger, the two mountains gradually move away from each other from the coincidence, and the stone path under their feet forms a huge rift, in which the dog's teeth are intertwined, the strange rocks are craggy, the shape is like an earthquake tearing the mountain, it can be seen that the water is flowing violently, and the water waves are lapping against the stone wall, arousing the roar of the tiger and the dragon.

When walking, the plank road changes frequently, the widest can be passed by a carriage, the narrowest can only allow two people to pass, and from time to time you can see a broken plank road, which is connected by a dead wood plank bridge.

Everyone walked for half an hour, and there was still no end, only to see the narrow and steep road before and after, and a line of sky overhead.

"After walking for so long, where is this ghost Fang person hiding?"

Yue Guanchao walked to a certain board bridge, looked down at the fracture surface, the water was rushing like a dragon, and there was no sign of abating: "When we came, we clearly didn't see a waterfall, how could there be such a rapid water?" ”

Song Siyuan stood on the edge of the bridge and looked at it: "It's really strange here, judging from the rise and fall of the lake, these rift valley rivers should flow into the ground, anyway, the clues of the ghost people have been found." ”

They continued to walk forward for about half an hour, the canyon plank road gradually ran out, and the two mountains were completely squeezed together, forming a peak that was not terrifying, and in front of them, a huge mycelium flower tree also appeared.

"Why don't you leave?"

Song Siyuan saw Ban Wan stop and became puzzled.

Ban Wan shook her head, her face was extremely ugly: "The smell of this ghost Fang person has disappeared. ”

These words made the people around them vigilant, and Yue Guanchao asked, "We were tricked by this ghost party?" ”

Ban Wan shook her head and retorted: "It's not that it's a trick, it's that the breath is too mixed, and there are a lot of residual breaths of the ghost people, and after the smell is messy, I have lost the traces of the ghost people." ”

After that, everyone looked at the mycelium flower tree, and Yue Guanchao and Song Siyuan approached the huge flower tree.

The tree is about 10 meters high, the trunk is as thick as a house, and the huge canopy is fan-shaped, in which the branches stretch out, the rattan spreads, the flowers and leaves are lush and verdant, and the exotic flowers and plants are stacked on the canopy, forming a very gorgeous and extravagant flower canopy.

At the same time, around this tree, twelve stone statues also appeared, and the stone statues looked bald and narrow-eyed, exactly like the stone statues they saw in the backyard.

These stone statues are about half a body taller than people, narrow and thin in length, wearing wide-sleeved shirts, arms stretched to both sides, legs and feet closed, forming a "ten" figure pile shape, the face is also like a smile but not a smile, a pair of agate carved eyes are bright and spiritual, as if they can see through the hearts of people through thousands of years.

Such stone statues, like clock scales, are evenly distributed around the trees, with the trees as the center, forming a standard circle.

Yue Guanchao approached these stone statues, and observed carefully, the material of the stone statues was ordinary stones, only the eyes were the most special, which was a material similar to agate, close to translucent texture, but if you looked closely, there were no words and totems in the eyes of the giant stone statues, so it could only be judged that these eyes seemed to be some regulations for making stone statues, and there must be a pair of eyes that looked bright.

"Class senior, are you sure you can't find the breath of this ghost person?"

Song Siyuan understood that the appearance of the mycelium flower tree and these stone statues could already be determined that this place was not naturally generated, but some devices or mechanisms deliberately created by the ghost people, so the disappearance of the ghost people seemed very strange.

Ban Wan nodded with a serious look in her eyes: "Sure, these messy breaths are brought by this mycelium flower tree, I suspect that there are many corpses of ghost people on it, otherwise, it is impossible to leave so many ghost people's breath." ”

After that, Yue Guanchao took Song Siyuan and walked around the stone statue to the canopy.

Turn on the flashlight and take a closer look, and the scene inside the canopy is also clear, with a ghost square head hanging from countless branches.

The skin of these heads is white and delicate, the hair is black and shiny, and even the eyes are bright and deep that only living people have, if they are not dead, they really seem to be asleep.

Most of them are caught by rattans, shaped like a head growing out of the end of a rattan stick, and behind the head, the thick vine woven from the roots of the rattan is wrapped around the trunk of the tree like a snake, making the head look like some monster with a human head and a snake body, although they understand that the human head cannot still be alive, and after looking at it for a long time, they still can't help but feel chills in their backs.

"What the hell are these? Why are the heads of the Onifang people captured by these rattans? ”

Song Siyuan's flashlight shone on the heads of the ghost people, and their eyes trembled visibly.

"Are they still alive?"

They had already seen the mycelium flower trees in Danxia, and the craftsmen who had eaten the god-headed chicken by mistake were dead, and if this thing was still alive, did it mean that they could ask something.

"Don't worry, they're dead."

Ban Wan's hand covered the tree, felt the breath carefully, sighed and continued: "The breath of these ghost people is the same as Ah Xi's, but it has been longer than Ah Xi's, and it has not rotted because it has been nourished by the tree vines. ”

"To be precise, it's the rattan that's stimulated by the light source, not the corpse's head that still moves." Knowing this, everyone was finally relieved.

Song Siyuan said: "However, this is not a way, why did the ghost people create these things?" If we lose the news of the ghost party people here, does that mean that this is the ghost party people did it on purpose? ”

Ban Wan nodded: "That's basically what you guessed, but maybe it's not against us, but some of the organs of the ghost people to protect themselves." ”

After that, she paused: "I don't see any caves and tunnels here, if there is a mechanism, it must be under a tree or related to a stone statue, so it also explains why the aura of the ghost Fang person will disappear here, in other words, the mechanism here must lead to a certain place." ”

Ban Wan's guess was the most suitable for the current situation, and Song Siyuan began to doubt the surrounding environment: "Trees can't be organs, their growth is not very controllable, and this kind of thing that can be used as a mechanism is probably these stone statues." ”

After that, she picked up the sapper shovel and knocked it a few times, but there was no echo in the stone statue, not like a hollow material: "It's not hollow, it seems that these stone statues have nothing to do with the mechanism." ”

"Not necessarily!"

Yue Guanchao didn't give up carefully, walked near the eyes, and carefully observed the eyes of the stone statue: "If the stone statue of the giant in the courtyard is to point out the direction to the people who come, then the stone statue here must also have a role, since the ghost people worship this kind of heavenly eye, it is better for us to look more in the eyes." ”

"I always thought these eyes were so weird."

After that, Yue Guanchao turned on the flashlight and observed his eyes, and when the flashlight shone on it, the eyes of the stone statue obviously showed a streamer, and he tentatively pressed his eyes with his hand, and sure enough, he could press it like a button.

"Yes, these eyes can be pressed."

Yue Guanchao accidentally bumped into it and found that the eyes of the stone statue could be pressed, and the Ghost Fang Sect knew that these were likely to be mechanisms, and motioned to the other craftsmen to press many eyes as well.

When all the eyes were pressed, the stone statue really changed, and from the top of their heads, a lot of unknown liquid began to appear, which looked like sticky honey, with a slight hint of gold, and before they could get close to smell it, they could already see the sweet smell wafting into their nostrils.

"Is it honey?"

Yue Guanchao picked up the stick, stayed on the chin of the stone statue for a moment, waited for the liquid to pour on it, and brought it to his side.

"It's not honey, it's rootless dew."

After that, Song Siyuan took out the kettle and poured out the rootless dew from it, except for the inconsistent color of the two, they were both viscous and slightly sweet.

Seeing the forms of these two, Song Siyuan's eyes lit up: "Do you still remember, last night the mysterious man summoned flying insects over, was he collecting these things?" ”

"Possibly."

Xu Xiake nodded: "These flying insects can emit light, maybe they are similar creatures to the human-faced bugs, and it is normal to produce rootless dew." ”

As they spoke, the trees had come alive from their static state, their branches and leaves rubbing against each other, rustling and creaking, and countless rattans seemed to come to life, growing freely from their trunks, climbing down like a serpentine, and covering the ground completely.

Yue Guanchao noticed that these rattans were heading towards the stone statue, and hurriedly led everyone out of the stone statue circle and stood more than ten meters away.

As soon as they withdrew, the rattan began to cover the statue, wrapping it up completely, and at the same time, the height of the statue changed.

The statues were like dominoes that began to grow, one taller than the other, and the twelve statues eventually formed a stepped spiral, the highest point reaching the waist of the canopy.

After that, the rattan began to center on the canopy, implicating the head of the stone statue, forming a plane of the cane from the crown to the stone statue, and the height of the stone statue gradually increased, as if this plane was like a spiraling mountain road, walking around the canopy, and finally stopping at the top of the canopy.

At this moment, everyone looked at the canopy and the stone statue again, and found that the thing had become a spiral staircase, and they saw that the rattan was constantly weaving and gradually stabilizing.

"It turns out that this is the mechanism, and it was actually activated by rootless dew."

Song Siyuan's eyes lit up, she didn't expect that this so-called mechanism was not made of gold and stone, but of living organisms, and she was surprised but also felt that it was expected, the Heavenly Eye, which the ghost people believed in, probably provided a lot of help for them to adapt to the environment here.

Such a foreign ethnic group has survived until now, and must have developed a culture of its own.

"Depending on the location of this mechanism, there's probably something at the top of the canopy, and we'll have to go up there and see it."

After that, Yue Guanchao and Song Siyuan walked up along the rattan bridge, climbed all the way and stood at the highest place, carefully observing the canopy, and finally understood what the end of the mechanism was, and couldn't help but light up.
