The mountains that used to be verdant in the eyes of ordinary people have turned tan, and the crows that surround the mountain are pitch black, obscuring the sky, and if you look closely, you will find that these crows are all made of scarlet flesh and blood, and the strange shapes of their wings may be human arms, lizard tails, or fish fins.

The cracked ground was full of cracks, and there was a faint glow between these cracks, as if the flames of the abyss were about to burst out from these cracks.

The sea of trees in front of them swayed in the scorching wind, and the "trees" were all made of the bones of living beings, and the "branches and leaves" on them were all bloody irregularly shaped entrails.

Fishy and rotten, sulphur-smelling air penetrates into the nasal passages, making it difficult to breathe.

What's even more frightening is that these scenes have risen to the shallow depths of the abyss, and even ordinary people, as long as they walk in, can see the same scene, their reason will disintegrate in an instant, collapse, and turn into monsters in that unquenchable wind.

"It smells bad."

The little witch wrinkled her nose, she took out a handful of red and white sandalwood paper from her pocket, gently pinched it into the shape of a royal guard, and handed it to Qiao Dui.

"Thank you."

Qiao Du took over the guard, and suddenly felt that the air around her was much fresher.

"This thing can only last for about an hour, and it may shorten the effect time as the pollution deepens, so you can take it."

The little witch pinched a few more and asked Qiao Du to put it away.

Although Qiao Du didn't really need these things, he still put them in his pocket, in case it was useful at a critical moment!

"How far is it from the Institute?"

Qiao Du asked, looking ahead, all the way to the top of the mountain, but he didn't find any man-made structures.

"Walk through the sea of trees, near the crater, and see a big crater over there, it's in that crater."

The little witch pointed to a gap in the ridge.

"There had erupted there once before, leaving a gap, and the island culture built a downward research institute in it, and the part above the ground was so small that it was barely noticeable."

"Oh!"

Qiao Du answered.

"That's too far."

He sighed.

The hike is estimated to take several hours, and by then it will be afternoon.

"There's no way, the car can't drive in, and it's easy to be alienated, originally the polluted area was only around the research institute, and then it spread to the sea of trees, and now it's here."

The little witch explained.

"That's easy to say."

Qiao Du thought that there was a rule here that he could only worship on foot, and he thought that the golden silk threads fell from the sky, outlining the appearance of a black luxury car, although it looked quite like that, but if you look closely, you will find that this car is very fake, just like made of paper.

"What is this?"

The little witch looked at the car suspiciously.

"There's no time to explain, get in the car."

Qiao Twilight opened the paper car door and climbed into the driver's seat, and Ebisu, who the little witch couldn't see, also got into the back seat and looked around curiously.

Although the little witch was puzzled, there was no other way of transportation at the moment, so she also got into the car.

"Sure enough, it's paper."

She muttered as her hand touched the door.

The environment inside the car is even more rudimentary, the seats are made of paper, and the steering wheel brakes and the like are all paper, which makes people doubt the strength of the structure, as if it will collapse at any time.

"You pinched this?"

The little witch looked at the empty, glassless front window and asked.

"Yes, it's called Bump."

"What?"

The little witch didn't understand the logical thinking of this name at all.

"Because the hearse was bumpy, the little witch opened her eyes, and she found that the day to explore the Ukiyo Mountain Research Institute was today!"

Qiao Du said casually, and without waiting for the little witch to continue asking, she stepped on the accelerator.

The paper hearse sped up suddenly.

"Huh?"

The little witch immediately grabbed the seat of the humble hearse.

The hearse sped unexpectedly smoothly through the cracked earth, for the road itself was a road leading to the mountainside, and the little witch saw that something seemed to be stirring between the trees on both sides of the road, and spied on the hearse.

"There's a sea of trees in front of you, so that's how it feels."

Qiao Du asked.

Jukai is a primeval forest of Ukiyo Mountain, with endless lush trees, and in addition to being a scenic spot, it is also a famous suicide resort.

Of course, Qiao Du knew that this was an anomaly, [Sea of Trees in Ukiyo Mountain].

To put it simply, it is a memetic pollution that affects the humans who can see the strange here, attracting them to seek death, and at the same time circulating its own pollution to those who commit suicide.

This sea of trees should have been a tricky anomaly in the past, but it has gradually become what it is today after years of anchoring.

Unfortunately, with the accident of the Ukiyo-e Mountain Research Institute, this place has literally become a forest of corpses.

"Be careful, there have been sightings of monsters in the sea of trees before, maybe those monsters have now turned into something even more terrifying."

The little witch reminded Qiao Du not to take it lightly.

"No matter how terrifying it is, can there be Chernobyl terror?"

Qiao Du said casually.

“.”

The little witch fell silent.

As they crossed the sea of trees, the trees made of the corpses suddenly trembled.

Crunch crunch –

The crisp sound of bones clashing grew louder and louder, and the little witch couldn't help but look out the window, only to see a huge snake made of bones looking at them condescendingly.

The skeletal serpent was about thirty stories tall, and as the witch met its deep eyes, several similar heads rose from the forest.

I counted them, and there were eight in all.

"Is this it. Yaki Orochi? ”

The little witch thought of the legend of the island, when there was a big snake in the sea to make trouble, thanks to the gods, and the fierce battle with it, the big snake was killed, although ordinary people seem to be just the ancient human beings for the thunder and lightning storm These natural phenomena beautiful imagination, but the little witch girl knows, this must be the mutual devouring of anomalies by those who can see the myth of the myth.

As for whether the one in front of her is genuine, she doesn't think it's real, it's more like it is based on human cognitive changes.

In the subconscious of those humans who died here, the snake is an extremely terrifying existence, so the condensed intention is also the appearance of the snake.

Without hesitation, the serpent saw the hearse and came over, moving with a roar that made the earthquake tremble, and the trees made of bones fell and the cracked earth shattered.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

The little witch immediately shouted.

She didn't know how to deal with such a behemoth, and in the mission of the foreign land, she only faced those ghosts that were similar to the anomaly, but it was extremely rare for such a huge monster with a physical body to appear in the present when the depth of the world was not as deep as in ancient times.

"Don't panic, I said, if you really die, I can pinch you."

Qiao Du held the steering wheel, not paying attention to the approaching serpent.

"Thank you so much."

The little witch gave Qiao Du a blank look, she took out a handful of red and white sandalwood paper from her pocket, pinched it twice at random, and threw it out of the car window.

Those sandalwood papers immediately turned into a flock of birds, all the way towards the big snake, they hit the big snake's white bone body, burst out of a pale blue flash, but after those flashes, the big snake still moved forward, the little witch's efforts were like a mantis arm as a car, but it did not affect the behemoth in the slightest.

"By the way, there's one thing I want to confess."

Qiao Du suddenly spoke, he looked ahead, and did not turn his head to pay attention to the big snake.

"What?"

The little witch chuckled inwardly, wondering if Qiao Du was going to say something earth-shattering at this time.

"Actually, I don't have a driver's license."

Qiao Du said bitterly.

Immediately, in the middle of the driver and the passenger seat, a button made of a piece of paper appeared.

Qiao Du smashed the button with a punch.
