Chapter 50: The Immortal Tree
The place where the collapse is dark and deep, and there is no bottom in sight.
If it really falls, it is "send" with a capital letter.
Chenbei pointed out the problem just now, but it resolved the doubts of the management group.
No one in the group was suspicious.
As for the ghost fire on the other side, it flickered a few times and drifted away into the distance.
Before leaving, he said quietly: "I'm sorry." ”
I'm sorry?
Apologizing for this kind of thing has a.
There is a trap in front of the road, the space in the tunnel is too narrow, there is no room for jumping, Chenbei is destined to not be able to catch up, so he has to give up.
He took out a bottle of energy drink, took a few sips, and regained some strength.
Next, we have to continue to look for Yan Hongren, and we can't just forget it.
Chenbei killed and went back, and encountered the flesh tree root blocking the way.
He was like a humanoid meat grinder, cutting off the roots of the trees.
Fighting all the way, looking everywhere, Chenbei has already killed red eyes.
"Help!"
A man's faint voice rang out.
It seems to be Yan Hongren's voice!
Chenbei cheered up and followed the sound all the way to kill, the sound was getting louder and louder, which was a good sign.
"Yan Hongren!" Chenbei shouted.
"I'm here!"
Got a response.
Chenbei rushed forward again and finally found the other party.
Yan Hongren was entangled in some tree roots, looking embarrassed, and his neck was strangled with red marks.
He still held the bone knife in his hand, and he must have resisted.
Chenbei stepped forward quickly, slashed a few times, cut off the entangled tree roots, and helped the other party get out of trouble.
Yan Hongren regained his freedom and coughed vigorously for a while before he eased up.
"Why did you suddenly disappear just now?" Tatsubei asked.
"As I walked, I suddenly couldn't make a sound, and then I was dragged by the roots of the tree, and I saw that I was getting farther and farther away from you, and then I ......"
Yan Hongren explained what happened just now, and that's probably it.
Fortunately, the two converged again.
In this kind of underground passage, even if you don't have claustrophobia, it will be very uncomfortable.
Multiple companions are always good.
At this time, the flashlight in Chenbei's hand flashed, which was a sign of insufficient power.
"Oops, it's running out of power." Chenbei frowned.
"It's okay, I still have spare batteries here, I can give you a few."
Yan Hongren opened his backpack, took out a few batteries from it, and handed them to Chenbei.
The batteries in the game seem to be the same model, all of which are universal.
Chenbei is very happy, the battery is a good thing. I immediately replaced the flashlight.
Yan Hongren, an NPC, sometimes drags his feet, and sometimes brings some benefits.
Let's just flatten it out.
"Thanks!"
Tatsubei shook a fully charged flashlight.
"What should we do next?" Yan Hongren asked.
"I can only continue to explore and look for opportunities to break the game. We haven't even seen the body of the Immortal Tree, and we've been battling the roots. "Tatsubuku.
"I'm still walking behind you, there's a rope here, you hold one end, I'll hold the other. If I fall behind again, you'll notice. ”
Yan Hongren had a solution and took out a rope from his backpack with a lock on it.
Chenbei is indeed worried about the recurrence of the situation just now.
He simply fastened the buckle to his belt so that he would not delay holding the weapon in both hands.
The two of them got on the road and came to a fork in the road.
Tatsubei chose a route.
Yan Hongren behind him grabbed the rope and said, "We have walked that road, let's go this way." This side of the road is new. ”
"Do you remember the way?" Chenbei was surprised.
"Well, I remember, something like this."
Yan Hongren leaned down and carved on the ground with a bone knife, drawing the route that the two walked after they came in.
Chenbei had also deliberately memorized the route before, but there was a section in the middle that only cared about fighting with the tree roots, and the memory was disrupted.
"So, so, and so ......"
Yan Hongren helped a lot again, and even drew the route of the way.
As a floor plan, it doesn't feel complicated.
It's another thing to be in the middle of it.
"Once the map is drawn, I have it all in mind. The premise is that these tunnels do not change. If it's like a forest that changes around and around, I can't help it. Yan Hongren said.
"Okay, just follow the map you drew and go to explore those areas you haven't been to!"
Tatsubei chose to trust the other party's memory.
The next journey will inevitably be bumpy and bumpy, and various situations.
I've even encountered a sneak attack by a two-faced monster.
The two went through hardships, saw the tricks, and finally found a way out.
A staircase leads to the top.
This is not the same staircase as when it came, it must lead to unknown territory.
I don't know what awaits the two of them up there.
Chenbei felt that there was no need to tie it with a rope anymore, untied the rope, and continued to walk up.
All the way to the end of the stairs.
Above is a closed wooden cover, which looks quite heavy.
Chenbei pushed it, but he didn't move.
Later, it was found that there was a wooden bolt on one side of the door lock.
He reached through the gap and picked the bolt open.
Push harder, this time the cover is pushed open.
Chenbei didn't rush up, but took a few steps back. It can be seen that his alertness and survival instinct are getting higher and higher.
Look up.
Above was a foggy sky, with a few intertwined clawed branches.
The export area is limited and there is not much to see.
Chenbei stabbed a few times outside, and then boldly rushed forward, and finally saw the light of day again.
After he went up, Yan Hongren also followed.
The two looked around together.
Then both dumbfounded.
Directly opposite, a strange towering ancient tree rises from the ground, and the high place is submerged into the clouds, and the part that connects the ground is as thick as five people hugging each other.
The trunk of the tree has a fleshy texture, twisted and intricate, and there are many large and small human faces on it, and even the difference between men and women and children can be distinguished.
The big face is comparable to a wheel, and the small one is only the size of a palm.
The mouths of these people's faces open and close, and a viscous, foul-smelling liquid flows from their mouths.
Thick and thin branches stretched out from the tree, and on them hung the flesh-drenched fruits, clumps like beating hearts.
The eyes on the faces of the people were all looking at the two outsiders, and their eyes were different, some were resentful, some were hateful, some were desperate, and some were sad.
"That's what it is...... Immortal Tree! Yan Hongren said embarrassedly.
Before, it was a nightmare.
Now, the nightmare is coming true.
The immortal tree in front of you has too much visual and psychological impact.
Tatsunaku's sanity value jumped sharply and became extremely unstable.
He had to pull out a tranquilizer and prick himself down to stabilize his mind.
The Immortal Tree suddenly spoke.
The mouths on the tree, pronounced by different mouths, each mouth says a word, spelling out what it wants to say.
In fact, there are only four words in total.
"The sacrifice begins!"
At the sound of an order, from the surrounding woods, many two-faced monsters came out, each holding a different weapon in their hands, and the number of them was as many as hundreds!
At the same time, the sky darkened and quickly darkened, giving a deep sense of despair.
"What should I do?" Yan Hongren on the side asked in a trembling voice.
