Chapter 43: Memories of the Past (2)

There is only old grudges between Gui Yuan and Zhang Meng, and there is no good feeling. But after all, she was the same senior sister, and she had studied in the Immortal Academy for so many years, so it was naturally impossible to watch her have an accident and be indifferent. The corner of the skirt she was holding in her hand loosened, and she ran quickly to the place where Zhang Meng disappeared just now, and looked at the bottom of the valley.

At this time, the sun had not yet set down the mountain, but the light did not shine into the deep valley at all. As far as the eye can see, the black and dark below is unfathomable, and the shadows of longing are swaying slightly, as if there are many monsters hiding in the darkness, opening their bloody mouths and waiting for new prey. Gui Yuan's body suddenly felt cold, and he couldn't help but shudder.

She picked up a pebble and threw it gently. The stone made a short arc, quickly fell into the darkness, and then disappeared without a trace. Gui Yuan pricked up his ears and waited for a while, but he didn't hear any echo, and the stone was silently swallowed up by the abyss like Zhang Meng.

She forced herself to calm down, turned back to Osmanthus and whispered: "Things are strange, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's go back to the immortal courtyard and inform the immortal masters to come to save people." ”

Wang Dazhi was already a little frightened, he saw it clearly just now, Zhang Meng was like he had fallen into an evil spirit, and today's things are weird no matter how you look at them. Hearing Gui Yuan say to go back, he immediately nodded desperately in agreement.

Osmanthus refused to leave, she stood at the place where Zhang Meng disappeared last and looked back and forth a few times, and thought about it carefully: "You two go back first, I'm going to stay here to check it out." ”

Gui Yuan immediately shook his head, the so-called if you don't die, you won't die, with her countless experience in reading films, she knows that when someone suddenly disappears, the most taboo is to divide the troops to check. In fact, the only right thing to do right now is to stay together and stop talking nonsense and plant flags for yourself and your teammates. No matter what strange things happen, don't be reckless, and hurry back to the fairy courtyard to move the rescuers. This big summoning technique is used, and no matter what mountain spirit and wood charm are, they must be captured.

But Osmanthus was very resolute, although Guiyuan knew that she was not a messy person, but she couldn't rest assured, "It's almost dark, and this place is very weird." Senior Sister Zhang, how could a good person not think of jumping off the cliff suddenly, there must be something strange in it. In short, I will never leave you here alone. Besides, the cliff is so high, can you climb down?"

There was no way for the osmanthus to be entangled, so she whispered helplessly: "Senior Sister Zhang didn't jump down, you look carefully at this footprint, and there are traces here." She must have gotten into the tree. ”

Gui Yuan's eyes widened in surprise, and sure enough, he found that all Zhang Meng's footprints were not messy, they were all in the direction of the big tree, and they suddenly disappeared when they reached the root of the tree.

Wang Dazhi was puzzled: "Could it be that she has learned the method of Mu Dun? How can a big living person get into a tree?" Although he was terrified, he was embarrassed to leave his two junior sisters and run back to the city by himself, so he could only get close to see the osmanthus flower solve the puzzle.

Looking at his susceptible appearance, Gui Yuan didn't seem to be so afraid, and stretched out his finger to him: "There is a tree hole here that is covered by vines, and this tree is estimated to be hollow." ”,

Wang Dazhi poked his head over and immediately found that there was indeed a big hole in the tree. The light here is dim, and the tree is full of vine branches, which is difficult to find, but Zhang Meng is not conscious, and he did not tidy up the vines after going directly into it.

Since he knew that Zhang Meng was not swallowed by the abyss, Wang Dazhi's courage increased by three points, and without waiting for Osmanthus to speak, he brushed the dead vines aside, revealing the hole in the tree. It turned out to be a yin-yang tree, and even the roots of the tree had been hollowed out most of the bottom, leaving only a shell still standing there, but the branches and leaves on it were still lush and vibrant. Wang Dazhi couldn't see the bottom of the cave when he went in, let alone Zhang Meng's shadow. When he was a child, he was like a mud monkey every day, climbing trees and catching birds, and he had drilled a few tree holes, but he had never seen a tree that was so thoroughly mothed but not dead, and formed such a deep hole, which couldn't help but be amazed.

Osmanthus was immediately ready to go in to see what was going on, she glanced back at her sister, and hesitated: "I'm afraid this hole is not clean, you better stay on it." Don't worry, I'm in control. ”

It turned out that Gui Yuan dared to go up to the house to climb trees when he was a child, but when he grew up, he was inexplicably afraid of insects. Now the osmanthus is still going to burrow into the insect hole, so frightened that her hairs stand up, and her arms burst out with trembling grains one by one.

Before Gui Yuan could think of how to stop it, he saw that his sister had jumped down. Her surprise was not trivial, and the bottom of the ancient tree that was bored into such a big hole was probably not a nest of insects. For a while, Gui Yuan's mind conjured up the sight of a nest of fat insects wriggling at the bottom of the cave, and then he felt that there might be a termite burrow below, where swarms of densely packed ants lived and worked in peace, and once they found uninvited guests, they would swarm up, and the enemies who would come to attack would flood like a tide. Gui Yuan had a chill, his face turned pale with fright, and his legs were a little weak, which was even more unbearable than Wang Dazhi just now.

The osmanthus at the bottom of the cave snorted lightly, and then said hurriedly: "I'm fine, you don't have to come down." Her voice came from underground, and it sounded a little muffled and unreal.

Gui Yuan was shocked, and instantly made up the osmanthus that he was fighting with the army of insects from all walks of life, but he was worried that he was afraid, so he could only support the picture of refusing to cry out for help. She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, ran to the tree without hesitation, closed her eyes and covered her face with her sleeves, and jumped straight into the hole...

This tree hole was much deeper than Gui Yuan expected, but when he landed, he felt soft underneath him, and it didn't hurt at all to fall down so high. It's just that Gui Yuan is most afraid of soft things now, so he jumped up in fright and waved his hands with his eyes closed.

At this time, Osmanthus was so depressed that she couldn't help it, she just fell to the bottom of the cave smoothly and steadily, and was about to take out a luminous bead to illuminate, when suddenly she tripped and stepped on something. Before he could stand firmly, he heard the sound of an object falling from above. She reacted very quickly, and instantly recognized Guiyuan's figure by a little light at the entrance of the cave, and she didn't dodge it when she was stunned. As a result, Gui Yuan smashed her squarely, and even stepped on her twice after getting up.

Before Osmanthus could ask her sister what the hell was going on, a desolate shout came from above her head, "Senior sisters, don't go, wait for me!" Before the words fell, Wang Dazhi had already jumped down from the entrance of the cave.

Osmanthus was shocked and instinctively shrank back to the wall. Gui Yuan was still jumping around, closing his eyes and waving his sleeves to drive away the imaginary insects and ants. Seeing that Wang Dazhi was about to land, Guiyuan, who was waved and beaten, slammed his waistcoat, and flew out sideways after a miserable scream, and a complete human form was printed on the earth wall with a bang.

Gui Yuan shrank his head in fright, but finally opened his eyes. Osmanthus has a chance to take out the luminous beads and hang them around her neck. Gui Yuan glanced at the senior brother who was lying in the distance and exhaled in pain through the pearlescent light, and then peeked at the two clearly visible footprints on the hem of his sister's skirt, and wanted to bury his head in the sand.

Wait, sand... She looked at her feet and looked around carefully before she realized that she was in a cave with a vaulted dome, the ground was paved with sand and gravel and very dry, and it was definitely not the insect and ant cave she imagined.

Without the insects, Guiyuan's courage suddenly came back, and he wanted to go over to see Wang Dazhi's situation, and as soon as he took a step to the side, he heard his sister exclaim no, and then he felt that his feet were wrong, and he actually stepped on a soft thing again, and hurriedly looked down, Zhang Meng was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and he had already lost consciousness.

Gui Yuan hurriedly took out the luminous beads he had brought with him to hang them, and then leaned down to check Zhang Meng's situation. Osmanthus glanced at Wang Dazhi and estimated that he was nothing serious, so she also ran over quickly and put her hand on Zhang Mengqi's sea, silently looking for the strange aura she had sensed just now.

Wang Dazhi got up with his eyes crooked and dizzy, and said in a trembling voice: "Here, what is this place." ”

Gui Yuan raised her head when she heard the sound, she and the osmanthus luminous pearl is not a high-grade treasure, hanging on the chest is about the brightness of a candle, shining a few feet in front of him is still clear, and the distance is a little difficult, and the pearl yellow is green, reflecting the greenery around the ground.

Seeing Wang Dazhi get up, Gui Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Are you okay?"

What Wang Dazhi saw here was a completely different scene. He didn't feel anything when Fang Cai Osmanthus jumped down, and then Gui Yuan went crazy like Zhang Meng, as if there was a ghost chasing behind him, and he jumped in without saying a word. Where is the tree hole, it is clearly a big mouth, and it swallowed three large living people silently, without even spitting out a single bone.

At that time, the sun happened to set completely, and after the last flash of sunlight, it disappeared completely, and the wind in the forest whimpered like a cry. He had the heart to rush back to the city, but the ghosts in the woods were shaking, and he didn't know how many monsters were lying in ambush waiting for him to throw himself into the net.

Wang Dazhi weighed for a moment, and finally decided to follow the team and mustered up the courage to jump. As a result, he was knocked away by a punch in mid-air and fell heavily to the ground.

He struggled to get up despite the pain, only to see that there was darkness all around, but there was some dim light in the distance, and two youkai were crouching on a corpse ready to munch. One of them suddenly raised his head, revealing a strange and evil face, the upper half of his eyebrows and eyes were hidden in deep shadows, but the lower half reflected an eerie green light, and he smiled strangely at him. The monster was afraid that he suddenly heard a voice, found his little fresh meat, and happily decided to change the taste.

Just as he was trembling, the other monster also turned his head, and it was exactly the same green skin as the one in front of him, with strange eyebrows and eyes, and the cold light showed his teeth in a flash.

Wang Dazhi didn't say a word, and fainted directly.
