Cang Liyuan's so-called gate of hell is not an exaggeration.
Because from the moment she stepped here, Gu Jiuqing's instinct told her that there was something very dangerous here.
There was no sound anymore, even the wind stopped.
The two looked at each other and cautiously walked forward to the tea tree.
This tea tree grows very lushly, and every leaf is green and thick.
If you look closely, you can still see the red veins showing through it.
Before he even got close, Gu Jiuqing smelled a complex smell.
Among the refreshing fragrance of tea, there is also a faint smell of blood. It is obviously such a vibrant tree, but it inexplicably makes people feel the smell of decay.
This feeling is similar to that of the child named Bao'er, as if life is forcibly injected into something that is about to collapse.
It looks like he's still alive, but just hanging on!
Moreover, Gu Jiuqing felt the aura of the demon spirit on the tea tree.
When she raised her hand to pick a tea leaf, she saw that the tea tree was moving without any wind, as if it was trembling.
"It seems to be afraid of me." Gu Jiuqing couldn't help but laugh, "That just saves you trouble. You can explain it yourself! It also saves me from having to dig up your demon spirit!"
As soon as these words came out, the sapling shook even more violently.
On its emerald green leaves, a little bit of bright red liquid suddenly overflowed.
The liquid smelled of blood, and in this dark night, under this situation, it really looked very scary.
Gu Jiuqing was stunned for a moment, and then thought that it wasn't just the tree that was scaring her that made her act like this!
She immediately touched a little of the liquid, and soon she heard the sound coming from the tree.
"Sir, spare your life! Spare your life!" The tree trembled, "I didn't harm anyone's life! He did it all! He harmed people, so he buried him here. Over the years, he also turned me into a It’s become like this!”
"Oh?" Gu Jiuqing heard this and sneered coldly, "You mean, after he killed someone, he had to carry the body across the mountains and ridges here and bury it under your tree! Where in this barren mountain? I can’t dump the body, so why do I have to come to you? Huh?”
"Because...because..."
"Because you have reached a deal! Your leaves have hallucinogenic effects." Gu Jiuqing said.
"Yes, that's right!" the tree quickly replied.
There was a bit of sarcasm in Gu Jiuqing's eyes. She was too lazy to talk nonsense to it, and walked directly to the side. Looking at the black and red earth under her feet, she said solemnly, "There should be a lot of bones buried underneath."
Hearing this, Cang Liyuan suddenly waved his hand.
In an instant, a huge hole was opened underneath by the wind of his palm.
And at a glance, it was densely packed with human skeletons.
Among the bones are the roots of this tea tree. Their intertwined roots grow on the piles of corpses. It looks really shocking!
This is just the tip of the iceberg. If we continue to dig deeper, we still don’t know how many corpses will be buried inside.
"He did all this?" Gu Jiuqing said coldly.
"Yes, it's all him! I'm just a tree, how can I have the ability to bury so many people!" the tree spirit replied hurriedly.
"Ha!" Gu Jiuqing said sarcastically, "That's okay! I'm talking nonsense to you! It's all lies!"
As she spoke, she suddenly took out a huge ax and chopped down at the tea tree.
"Ahhhhh-" The tree spirit screamed in fright, shaking its branches to resist desperately.
Looking at it like that, it seemed like he wanted to run away immediately.
But Gu Jiuqing knew in his heart that this was all an illusion.
This thing has been absorbing people's blood for many years, and has long since turned into an extremely sinister thing.
It's definitely not as weak as it looks! But it showed fear of her, presumably it was just a way to confuse her!
Just as the ax was about to fall, a tree root suddenly flew into the air and headed straight for Gu Jiuqing's vitals.
This thing is very cunning and knows how to conduct sneak attacks from behind.
Gu Jiuqing was naturally aware of its existence, but she ignored it.
At this time, Cang Liyuan had already raised his sword and dropped it, and the tree root was suddenly cut in half by him.
A pile of liquid similar to human blood gushed out from the broken root of the tree.
Cang Liyuan was not splashed by it. Those bloody things fell to the ground and re-dissolved into the soil under his feet.
In fact, this is the top of a mountain, so where does it come from?
Such a large amount of liquid should not seep into the ground so quickly.
Gu Jiuqing's thoughts were whirling, and the ax in his hand had already fallen hard.
It's just that the tea tree dodged in time, and the ax didn't hit its trunk. Instead, it chopped off a lot of branches.
Once again, blood oozed from the fracture.
After the blood fell to the ground, it quickly disappeared without a trace.
But at this moment, the ground under his feet was still trembling, and something seemed to be breaking out of the ground.
Gu Jiuqing quietly took a few steps back, but at this moment, the leaves of the tea tree suddenly flew out fiercely.
Each blade, like a green sharp blade, struck directly at her vitals.
Before Gu Jiuqing could dodge, the tree roots that appeared from nowhere behind him also swept towards him.
She seemed to be in a dilemma all of a sudden!
Gu Jiuqing simply stabilized his figure and observed it calmly.
Behind you are tree roots, in front of you are leaves, and to the side is a steep hillside.
If you jump from here, you will be dead in a matter of minutes.
She simply stopped dodging, just looked at the tea tree with cold eyes, and raised the ax in her hand again.
"What are you doing! You want to die!" I remembered that cold and faint voice, and it even sounded a little trembling.
Gu Jiuqing ignored it and continued to walk forward expressionlessly.
Ignore those fatal moves!
But at this moment, those sharp blade-like leaves turned into nothingness and disappeared completely before they touched her.
Even the tree roots disappeared before they could touch her.
The surroundings seemed to suddenly return to silence at this moment.
At the same time, Gu Jiuqing discovered that there was a sound of wind and the sound of insects.
She seemed to have suddenly returned to the normal world from a quiet place.
Nothing seemed to have changed in the scene in front of him, except that the tea tree in front of him became more and more beautiful.
"Wake up." Cang Liyuan's voice sounded from the side.
Gu Jiuqing raised his eyebrows and looked over following the sound.
From beginning to end, Cang Liyuan stood beside her.
But the tea tree was unscathed.
"Since when did I fall into hallucinations?" Gu Jiuqing asked.
"In the beginning." Cang Liyuan said, "Fortunately, you discovered the clues very quickly."
As he spoke, there was even a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
Gu Jiuqing said quite speechlessly: "You didn't warn me, you weren't afraid that I would hit you with my axe!"
Although Cang Liyuan's martial arts was so strong, he wouldn't really be killed by her.
But if he fell into a hallucination together, it would not be good for the two of them to fight each other.
However, Cang Liyuan was quite confident in her. He smiled lightly and said: "No, I believe you will get rid of the illusion soon. Moreover, it is just a little illusion, and I can't do anything to you!"
Gu Jiuqing, "..."
Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to him.
However, the fact that she was hallucinating still made her sweat all over her body.
She knew that this tea tree had the ability to induce hallucinations, but she needed to drink it.
Moreover, her space did not call the police at all, but it made her careless.
Now, she was no longer polite and directly took a little tea tree sap.
Soon, she discovered something terrible.
