Chapter 360: A Forest of Trees
The light in the ancient vine forest is even darker, and the thick ancient vine branches are horizontal, intertwined, and in some places you can only bend down and keep your head down. Under the ancient vine tree, there is a thick layer of dead branches and leaves, and your feet are stepping on it, as if you are stepping on the clouds.
Everyone overcame all the way to the depths of this ancient vine forest.
"Click!"
A crisp sound came, Yue'e didn't know what she stepped on, she looked down and looked down, her face was bloodless with fright, and she opened her mouth and said, "Skeleton...... Skeletons!"
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that Yue'e's feet were indeed a skeleton that had been dead for an unknown amount of time, and the color was a little black.
"It's just a corpse, this mountain forest is full of corpses, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Dayi said comfortingly.
"Click! click"
As soon as Dayi's words fell, the crisp sound became one, and a large number of white bones were revealed under everyone's feet, some of which were human bones, and there was no shortage of bones of various demon beasts.
"Ahh
Yue'e screamed, flew to Dayi's side, pulled the corner of his clothes and said in a trembling voice: "Da Yi, it's really terrifying here, in my opinion...... Let's go back the way we came!"
Dayi frowned and said, "It's indeed a little weird, how could such a large piece of corpse bones appear in this ancient vine forest?"
She was not afraid of these skeletons, on the contrary, she felt a sense of intimacy in her heart. She hadn't seen the skeleton since she stepped into the Infernal Hell, and she wondered where he was now, was he trapped in some corner of the Infernal Hell, struggling, and could she still see him?
Pregnant Qiao bit her lip, and secretly decided in her heart: even for the sake of Skeleton Bone, Bliest, and Xiaoqing, she must go down bravely! Find them and leave here with them!
In the distance, there was a faint whimper. Feng pricked up his ears and listened carefully, turned his head to look at the people beside him, and said, "What sound did you hear?"
Dayi stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "Could it be the wind?"
Feng shook his head and said, "This ancient vine forest covers the sky and the sun, and it is impermeable to the wind, where does the wind come from?"
"Woo woo"
The sound of whimpering came intermittently, like a woman's cry.
"The sound seems to be coming from over there!" he pointed in one direction, and it was pitch black, but there was a faint fragrance wafting through.
"Let's go over and have a look!"
Feng Gao held up the demon pestle in his hand, and the demon pestle emitted a pale golden light, illuminating the ground under everyone's feet.
When everyone got closer, they found that there was a towering ancient vine tree here, and its climbing stems were thick and thick, like a coiling dragon, and it went straight into the sky. Clusters of lilac corollas hung upside down, like purple butterflies flying in the sky. The strange fragrance that everyone had just smelled was emitted by the ancient vine tree in front of them.
"Really...... It's so beautiful!" said Yue'e, who had never seen such a strange flower tree.
The wisteria corolla hanging in mid-air was windless, and pieces of purple tidbits fluttered down one after another, falling to everyone's feet.
Pregnant Joo grabbed Dayi, who was closest to her, and quickly stepped back, subconsciously away from the scattered petals. Everyone was sighing at the beauty of this ancient vine tree, but she was vigilant. From the time they first stepped into this ancient vine forest, she had seen hardly any living creatures along the way, not even a single small flying insect. And the pile of white bones, as well as the cry that seemed to be nothing, made her scalp feel numb, this ancient vine tree is very strange!
"A forest of trees...... This ancient vine forest is actually an ancient vine tree demon that has lived for an unknown number of years!"
Feng La and Yue'e avoided those petals, looked up and looked around, only to see that the branches of the ancient vine tree hung down into the soil, gradually thickened, and became a new pillar of the canopy, the crown grew more and more dense, and finally joined into a piece, strangling the surrounding trees!
"Woo woo you are mistaken, Ah Zi is not a demon!"
"Who's talking, don't pretend to be a ghost there, you have the ability to come out and see it!" Dayi pulled the bow and arrow in his hand and aimed the tip of the arrow at the ancient vine tree.
"Young man, I'm talking!"
The twisted branches of the ancient vine tree slowly parted from the middle, revealing a woman's face. The lilac wisteria crown resembles her long hair, and the wisteria roots that go deep into the ground are her brown dress.
She had seen the Giant Tree Clan, but the wisteria tree in front of her was not the Giant Tree Clan, but a real demon tree.
Pregnant Qiao stepped forward and said, "Your name is Ah Zi, right?
"Aliens, I didn't bring you here, you can only say that you have your own arrangements in the dark. However, since you are here, can you listen to Ah Zi talk about some old things? It's been a long time since anyone has come to accompany Ah Zi!"
Everyone looked at each other, and no one said anything to refute it. Listening to the undoubted tone of this dryad, if everyone did not listen to this story, they were afraid that they would not be able to leave this place safely, then they had to listen to it.
The wisteria tree demon Ah Zi observed everyone's reactions for a moment before slowly speaking: "I used to be a goddess of noble blood of the Golden Crow Clan, and I was born to be a pure body to be dedicated to the sun god. It was only then that this purity was tarnished! I broke the rules of the clan, fell in love with an ordinary Terran man, and bore him a son...... I love that man so much that I have never regretted my actions!, but those great elders of the Golden Crow Clan will not let us go, they feel that I have committed a heinous sin, angered the gods, and will bring great disasters to the Golden Crow Clan and the entire Flowing Fire Realm!"
Ah Zi fell into painful memories, her eyes dilated, and she said angrily: "But...... What's wrong with me following the path of humanity? What's wrong with loving someone! What's wrong with wanting to protect my children? I'm not wrong, they're wrong!"
Ah Zi gasped violently, and the entire canopy of the tree trembled.
She calmed down her agitation a little before she continued: "It's a pity that those old stubborns don't understand this truth! They joined forces to brutally kill my husband, and also drove me and my weak children out of Yigu, leaving us to fend for ourselves in the 100,000 mountains......
"You...... Could it be the goddess Feng?" Feng interrupted Ah Zi's words, and said with a surprised expression.
More than ten years ago, there was indeed a shocking thing in Yiguzhong, that is, the goddess Feng not only fell in love with a lowly human race, but also gave birth to a son! This is a shame for the entire Jinwu people, and a great disrespect to the sun god! After that, the Jinwu people and the realm of flowing fire have been plagued one after another!
