When the red waves fell from the sky, unstoppably rolling Shen Shi like thunder, Shen Shi felt that the world in front of him instantly fell into a blood-red, and then his body seemed to be no longer able to be controlled by himself, and his body was involuntarily carried by the fierce water and rushed into the ground, and then, there was an endless darkness.

In the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, he was carried by the water and hit the stone wall many times in a row, and in a panic, he suddenly heard Xiao Hei's hiss in the water not far away, Shen Shi subconsciously shouted over there, and at the same time stretched out his arm desperately, and after hitting a few times in the water, he actually miraculously grabbed one of Xiao Hei's feet and dragged him over.

Xiao Hei was obviously a little at a loss and looked a little frightened by this sudden abnormality, but after being caught by Shen Shi and hugged into his arms, Xiao Hei suddenly quieted down, and seemed to lean on Shen Shi's side, and its fear dissipated a lot.

This torrent roared forward, the water flow was extremely fast, and faster and faster, Shen Shi gradually couldn't support it with the current, and his consciousness began to blur, but he was holding Xiao Hei's body tightly in his hands, maybe in this dangerous and dark world, he and Xiao Hei were the only objects of mutual peace of mind.

When he finally couldn't support it in the dark, and only felt that the last consciousness in the whirlwind of the world would also dissipate, he vaguely saw a glimmer of light in front of the rushing waves, in the depths of some darkness, a soft, faint light.

Then he didn't know anything.

※※※

The sound of ticking and ticking seems to come from afar, but it seems to fall on the ears, flickering far and near, crisp and rhythmic.

Shen Shi's body twitched slightly, and he gradually regained consciousness, but before he opened his eyes, he only felt a sudden soreness from all over his body, as if dozens of people were beating him hard with sticks at the same time.

He couldn't help grinning slightly, gasped, and then opened his eyes, and when he entered the eyes, he was stunned.

Because he saw the sky.

It was a gloomy sky with gray clouds, and although the light was a little dim, it was a false sky.

Shen Shi looked at this piece of heaven a little blankly, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while, because he clearly remembered that he was deep underground in the Gaoling Mountains before he was swept away by the current, and the direction of the water rush was obviously going to a darker and deeper underground, how could he see the sky?

After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure out what was going on, Shen Shi also shook his head and smiled bitterly, just at this moment he heard a sudden splash not far from him, turned his head to look, and saw Xiao Hei, and at the same time saw where he was at the moment.

It seems to be a swamp-like place, about an acre of pond, with lush aquatic plants, clear water, shallow water and even underwater mud and stones, and some small fish the size of fingers that cannot be named swim around comfortably. And Shen Shi didn't know why, he fell in this swampy pond at this moment.

He sat up, and suddenly brought a splash sound, and found that his whole body was completely soaked, and not far from him, Xiao Hei seemed to wake up earlier than Shen Shi, and ran over in the water, splashing countless splashes along the way, and suddenly came to Shen Shi's side, rubbing and rubbing, very affectionate.

Shen Shi smiled and nodded at it, no matter what, even if he didn't know where he was at the moment, as long as Xiao Hei was by his side, it would always make people feel more comfortable. He then tentatively stood up, and found that his body did not seem to have received any more injuries except for some flesh and skin injuries from the collision, and his heart was slightly relieved.

Standing wet in the middle of the pond like this, Shen Shi looked around, only to see that around this pond, there was a gray-black forest, the reason why this was so was because all the trees around the pond were the same strange gray-black strange wood, not only the trunks and branches were this color, but even the leaves they grew were gray-black.

This strange gray tree was densely packed around the pond, and only in the direction of the north, which seemed to be the exit of the pond, from which a waterway four or five feet wide flowed slowly, and the waterway was also overgrown with this gray-black wood.

Shen Shi stared at the gray trees around the pond for a while, his face was a little cloudy, and after a while, he suddenly leaned down, stretched his hands under the water, and Xiao Hei beside him couldn't figure out what the master wanted to do for a while, and looked at him in some surprise.

Shen Shi calmly looked at the water, his hands were slightly closed, and after a while, a small fish in the pond swam over, Shen Shi suddenly lifted his hands out of the water, and the splash slipped from between his palms, and the small fish began to jump in his palm.

Shen Shi carefully grabbed the small fish, stared at it for a moment, and then suddenly raised his hand and threw it towards the edge of the pond, the small fish crossed an arc in mid-air, and soon landed on the trunk of a gray tree.

The little fish that was free in Chad struggled desperately, looked a little panicked, and writhed to jump back into the pool, but for some reason, the body of the little fish that should have fallen suddenly stiffened, and it didn't fall from the trunk of the tree, and the scene looked quite weird, as if it were ...... It's like the little fish is stuck to something.

The little fish didn't die or suffer any damage, it just leaned on the side of the trunk and couldn't break free, so the little fish was still struggling desperately, but at this time, the gray tree actually made a gurgling sound, a few branches slowly fell from above, and the gray leaves of the treetop branches stuck to the trunk one by one, so under Shen Shi's gaze, the figure of the little fish was covered.

A moment later, the little fish that had been bouncing not long ago disappeared, and when I looked around again, the gray-black woods were dense and deep and dark, and suddenly seemed so gloomy.

Shen Shi's face was also slowly and ugly, and he withdrew his gaze from the strange tree, with a bit of difficulty, and said softly:

"The Bloodthirsty Tree. ”

※※※

The Blood-Devouring Tree was born in another world, not owned by the main realm of Hongmeng, its nature is gray and hard, the whole body is black, not afraid of drought and flood, but it loves to eat flesh and blood, nourishes its body with flesh and blood essence to grow, it is an extremely rare magic tree that can hunt living monsters and even human monks.

In the past, when Shen Shi was studying, he had seen this kind of magic tree record in a miscellaneous record, which mentioned that the blood-devouring tree was very weird, if a living creature was contaminated near this tree, the blood-devouring tree would secrete a strange slime to firmly stick to the prey, and then devour, some low-level demon beasts were said to be certain to die when they encountered this kind of demon tree, as for the human monks, there were not many records, but it was speculated in the article that if the monks of the Ning Yuan Realm encountered this kind of strange magic tree, I am afraid that it would be difficult to deal with.

However, in the records, this kind of terrifying blood-eating tree clearly only grows in some extremely remote other worlds, and most of them are in some inaccessible wild jungles, which is rare to see, even if it is occasionally found, it is only one that grows alone, like the blood-devouring forest that Shen Shi saw at this moment, but he had never heard of.

Seeing the fate of the little fish just now, and thinking about the written records about the blood-devouring tree that he had read before, Shen Shi suddenly felt a chill hit his body, but this small pond was surrounded by so many strange blood-devouring trees, which really made people's scalp tingle.

The sky was still overcast, and the gray-black forest beneath the clouds was so silent that it seemed that even the light could not penetrate it, only the endless deep darkness. Shen Shi even faintly felt that in the darkness of the forest, there seemed to be something strange looking at him quietly but coldly.

After taking a deep breath, Shen Shi withdrew his gaze from this blood-devouring forest with some difficulty, called Xiao Hei softly, and then raised his eyes to walk towards the exit of this pond and the only way out.

As for the demon trees near the shore, he was not willing to go over at all, not even a penny.

The water splashed under his feet, rippling in circles, appearing in this original pool, Shen Shi carefully looked at the surrounding situation, and suddenly thought of a question, so many blood-devouring trees, all of them seem to be so tall and dense, so how do they usually survive and grow?

I don't know if it's because of this blood-devouring forest, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something strange around him, and after taking a closer look around, Shen Shi found that there was no breath of life around him except for some small fish swimming in the pond.

There were no birds, no beasts, not even the most mundane and ordinary insect chirps, and there was a dead silence everywhere, as if all the life had disappeared here, or had been completely sucked dry by the gray and black woods.

The corners of Shen Shi's eyes twitched slightly, and he walked more and more carefully, only walking in the center of the waterway, not wanting to get close to the water's edge at all, but the waterway at this exit was only four or five feet wide at most, and the blood-devouring trees on both banks grew densely, and some branches were even very close to the water's edge.

As we walked, there was no end in sight, but as far as the eye could see, the waterway flowed calmly and slowly, and the blood-devouring trees on both sides of the river seemed to be endless, stretching all the way.

The sound of splashing, even Xiao Hei seemed to be aware of something at the moment, and he seemed to be extremely honest, and he kept quietly following Shen Shi's feet.

Just when Shen Shi was a little dazed in his heart, not knowing how to leave this strange and dangerous blood-devouring forest, in front of him, the waterway suddenly turned, but an open space suddenly appeared.

Shen Shi was suddenly shocked, walked a few steps quickly, and found that a pond of similar size appeared in front of him again, the difference was that this time although there were also those weird blood-devouring forests in front of the pond, there was an extra road in the forest, extending straight forward, and I didn't know where it led.

At the very end of this forest road, in the open space in front of the pond, there is an archway, on which there seems to be some handwriting, but it is now blurred. Under the archway, in the middle of the road, there is a stone pier, on which the stone spikes are abrupt and uneven, and it looks like a statue or something that was originally placed here, but after a long time, only the remnants of the broken stone seat remain.

Although he didn't know where this road leads, Shen Shi still subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, and he kept walking in these demon forests that could be swallowed at any time, and the pressure on people was really a lot.

He took Xiao Hei across the pond, went to the ground, and turned to look behind him, only to see that the water waves were gradually calming down, and there seemed to be no trace left along the way.

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, but leaned over and whispered to Xiao Hei, "Can you smell the smell of those waiting family members here?"

Xiao Hei shook his head a little dazedly.
