This is an abandoned subway passage. It is higher and wider than the underground city passage, but Ye Zhongming and Nogai still frowned at the fishy smell inside.
"The branches and leaves of the King of Hell tree secrete a liquid, which is said to have the effect of treating trauma, but no one knows whether it is true or not. This smell is caused by the liquid."
Nogai pointed to the front of the dark passage, "If we walk for half an hour, the roots of the King of Hell tree will appear, and you will see this kind of thing."
Ye Zhongming glanced around, and the light from the torch could not shine too far.
"Although I don't know what you are doing here, I advise you to turn around once you see the root system, because if you continue to go deeper, the danger will multiply."
Removing a disease in his heart allowed his son to wake up again and evolve to the level of a four-star evolver. This was the reason why Nogai agreed to lead the way for Ye Zhongming, but if possible, he would rather stay with his son and watch. He grew up all the way, and father and son fought side by side to survive in this apocalyptic world.
It would be great if this 'boss' could be made to give up the idea of going deeper.
But Nogai took a sneak peek at the expressions of the men next to him and knew there was little hope.
Ten minutes after entering the passage, forks began to appear, and there were so many that people felt at a loss.
"When the King of Hell tree had just eaten all its kind, it began to try to control Linhai. Naturally, the process was not so smooth. It fought some very powerful mutated sea snakes. They found the body of the King of Hell tree and launched an attack. These passages , basically all left over from that time.”
There was a sigh in Nogai's tone. He thought that although no survivors in Linhai saw the battle at that time, the momentum must have been extremely huge and it should have left a deep impression on them.
"Now that I think about it, it would have been nice if those mutated sea snakes had won. At least they wouldn't have trapped humans in this dead city."
I don’t know if it was because he knew that he had a narrow escape from death during this trip, or because his son’s recovery released his depressed mood. Nogay was much more cheerful than a few hours ago, even his face was almost covered with scars. , the expressions became richer.
At this time, the value of Nogai was revealed. He was a person who had been here and had seen the body of the King of Hell Tree. There was probably only one person in Linhai who had seen it and was still alive. He walked back and forth in these dense passages, Occasionally he would stop to determine his direction.
If Ye Zhongming comes here by himself, even if he finally finds the true form of the King of Hell tree, he will not know how many queens there will be.
"Go through this passage..."
Before Nogai finished speaking, he was suddenly pulled aside by Ye Zhongming, hiding in the darkness next to him, and with a wave of his hand, he extinguished the two people's torches.
The passage suddenly became dark.
Nogai is also a four-star evolutionist after all. Even though the incident happened suddenly, he immediately reacted and stood quietly beside Ye Zhongming, his heart shaken.
Just now, his body actually responded with instinctive resistance, but he found that under the hands of the man beside him, his resistance had no effect at all. This gave him a new judgment on Ye Zhongming's strength, and for the first time he felt that he might really have a chance to get out alive.
Two seconds later, a sound came from the far end of the passage in front.
Those are the footsteps of the mummy as a whole!
The two of them pressed against the wall behind them, holding their breath for fear of being discovered.
The number of these mummies is not large, probably only a few dozen. Not to mention Ye Zhongming, even if you give Nogai some time, he can kill them all.
But now they are within the area of the King of Hell Tree, and who knows how many mummies are around. Once they are alerted and attract a large number of mummies, this operation will completely fail.
After waiting for a full five minutes, they could no longer hear the footsteps of the mummy. The two of them rekindled their torches and continued to move forward.
After walking for a while, some dark brown branches began to appear on both sides of the passage and on the ground. They were of different shapes and thicknesses. Ye Zhongming was familiar with these things. He had acquired a lot of them these days, but most of them were dead. branches, and these obviously have a sufficient supply of nutrients.
Doubts flashed across Ye Zhongming's mind and he did not touch these branches despite Nogay's reminder.
"Those are the secreted liquids, but I don't dare to touch them. Who knows whether it is a panacea that can really treat injuries or a venom that will kill you if you touch it."
Some branches are a little damp, and if you look closely, you will see some raindrop-like mucus attached to them. Just as Nogai said, Ye Zhongming did not dare to touch it because he did not recognize this thing.
Moving forward cautiously, the two of them stopped even talking. They extinguished the torches and used glow sticks instead, leaving one at regular intervals as signs.
The deeper you go, the less artificial traces you see in the passage, there are more and more branches, and there are fewer and fewer places to set foot, which causes the two people to slow down.
After more than two hours, Nogay suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Ye Zhongming first looked around and found nothing unusual, then asked softly.
"Something's wrong." Nogai frowned and kept scanning the surroundings, "The last time I came to this location, I had already encountered mummies many times, and there were also some movable branches of the King of Hell tree, but this time …”
After taking a deep breath, Nogai said: "Everything is too quiet."
When something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Nogai said. Ye Zhongming, who came here for the first time, also knew that something was not right, and the front moon appeared in his hands.
"How about we exit first?"
Nogai also took out his two swords and turned his head to ask the boss next to him.
"It should be... too late!"
After saying this, Ye Zhongming pulled Nogai and retreated quickly, and the situation happened at the same time!
There was a sudden loud noise in the surrounding passages, as if a train was passing through here, and the ground was shaking slightly. Such noises were mixed with the unique footsteps of mummies.
"Why didn't you run away?" The two people who had started to retreat suddenly stopped. Nogai asked Ye Zhongming anxiously, aren't you looking for death if you stop at this time?
Ye Zhongming did not answer, but began to throw the light sticks everywhere. When Nogai looked at it, he suddenly showed an expression as if he was mourning for his heir.
There were mummies all around, or to be precise, there were mummies in the passages in all directions, and these mummies were not the ones on the ground, but giant sea snake mummies that Nogay had never seen before!
Those losers who once competed with Yama Wangshu for Linhai hegemony have now turned into thugs, surrounding the two people in the center!
The King of Hell tree had already noticed the arrival of two people! (To be continued.)
