"I hope these trees are completely dead, otherwise, if we go in this time, it will really be no different from entering the ghost gate!" Looking at the endless forest of the undead in front of him, Chen Tao couldn't help but swallowed.
Balohad listened to Chen Tao's conversation with Hao Zi and was a little surprised, "What kind of place is the Heizigou you are talking about? It sounds very dangerous."
"It's not just dangerous!" Haozi waved his hand, "You don't know, it's a replica of hell!"
Haozi chewed a piece of dried meat, his complexion recovered well, his eyes rolled around in circles, and he began to tell Balohad and others about the various adventures they had in Heizigou.
Haozi, if nothing else, bragging is like an old sow wearing a bra, one after another. Haozi is a smart and thoughtful person. He did not tell everything about what happened to Chen Tao and the others down there, as well as the causes and consequences. He just picked out a few more exciting parts, added fuel and jealousy, and described himself It is said that a god descended to earth, Chen Tao is his loyal younger brother, and that idiot Yang Lixuan is an unreliable rookie...
Hao Zi bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala bala b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b g blab on the story with great joy, imitating Mr. Li's storytelling and drama skills by seven or eight points. Balohad and the others listened to what he said, and their eyes shone brightly. Even Ye Rong beside him was attracted by the thrilling stories told by Haozi. His big eyes were dazzling, and he didn't know what she was thinking. Something.
After listening to Haozi's blowing, the effect was still very obvious. The atmosphere among the few people swept away the previous depression and suddenly became a little high. It seemed that the forest of the undead in front of them was just a small puddle.
As a man, I can conquer the world, and even if I die, my life will not be in vain.
Chen Tao, who had a head full of black lines on the side, did not expose Haozi's shortcomings, and quietly watched Haozi show off. However, Chen Tao felt awkward hearing this matter coming out of his mouth. In the end, he couldn't listen anymore. He pressed his hand and stuffed half of the beef jerky into his mouth. Haozi choked. cough.
"Damn it, what are you doing! Murder your gay friend!"
Several people couldn't help laughing.
While talking, Sok and the others had already cut down a lot of dead branches, pulled some rags from some of the mummies around and wrapped them in them. They poured the kerosene that Balohad and the others had brought with them, and everyone shared it. Several.
Chen Tao put torches on his backpack. These torches were enough to last them until midnight.
After being prepared, everyone immediately set off towards the Forest of the Undead without any delay.
There is no end to the forest of the undead in front of you. It is full of large and small ghost willows. When you walk inside, you can't see the end. All you can see are gray-black tree trunks and curly crowns. Some are several meters thick and can be hugged by three or four people. Some are no more than the thickness of an arm, and the bark on them is dry and cracked. If you are a little stronger, you can break it with just a squeeze.
After knowing that these trees were all ghost willows, Chen Tao took every step carefully. Although it seemed that these trees were not as exaggerated as those under the Man-Eating Valley, Chen Tao felt a chill in his heart when he thought of the few people who were entangled to death by the tree vines.
These devil willows seem to have stopped growing. I don’t know why, but the branches on the canopy that should have grown are entangled together, and they really look like the waves on a woman’s hair.
No wonder in the legend of Tatunaan, this is the hair of Nakala, the god of the underworld.
When he was outside before, Chen Tao felt an extremely strange sense of depression. Facing the Forest of the Dead outside, it was like facing a dark castle of the dead, and also like facing a dark castle. The hellish ferocious beast is crawling on the ground, so dark that it makes people breathless.
But now when walking in the Forest of the Dead, that weird feeling has disappeared, which makes Chen Tao feel very strange.
The group of people walked vigilantly in the Forest of the Dead, with soft sand under their feet and strange-looking devil willows all around. Everything was quiet except for the rustling sound coming from walking under their feet and the occasional click of broken dead branches. There was no sound other than the cracking sound.
Click click click......
Bang bang bang.......
The few people had just walked far when a gust of wind suddenly blew deep in the forest, causing the dead branches to rub and sway against each other, making bursts of crackling sounds, like countless skeletons and broken bones constantly beating against each other. .
This gust of wind came very strangely. In just one breath, the wind swept past the location of several people, blew into the open desert behind them, and disappeared.
The sudden wind gave everyone a strange feeling, as if someone suddenly breathed into the Forest of the Dead, or as if something came out of the depths of the forest.
This weird feeling passed through everyone's mind like a ghost. Everyone looked at each other, their hands involuntarily clenched their weapons, and there was a sense of vigilance in their eyes when they looked around. Every step they took They all walked very carefully.
Haozi on the side poked Chen Tao's arm: "Hey, Taozi, it seems that these trees are dead. Is there anything wrong?"
"You know, this thing is so weird. When it was under the ground without seeing sunlight all year round, the ghost tree can still survive until now. There is no guarantee that there are still people here who are not dead. Anyway, be careful!"
"That's different! I asked my grandpa about the Heizigou tree. Most of the reason why it became like that is because of the Feng Shui bureau down there. There must be evil spirits in a dangerous place, and the things inside will become different from normal. Things are different!”
I don't know if it was a psychological effect or the surroundings were too depressing. They were in the Forest of the Dead, so the two of them spoke much softer, for fear that they would make any noise and disturb these man-eating demons and ghosts.
After walking for about ten minutes, when I looked back, I could no longer see the desert where I had arrived, and my sight was completely blocked by these weird ghost willows.
"Come on, don't wait any longer!"
A sharp shout came from Sok behind him. He and the other two guards were escorting Oulanke's men.
This man is estimated to be in his thirties or forties. He is thin, has dark skin, sunken eye sockets, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He looks cunning and has a small mustache, which always gives people the impression of a veteran.
Chen Tao also asked Sok and found out that this thin black man was not a complete Tatunaan. Not only him, but also the entire team of Orenc, including all the followers of the great wizard Bruno. None of them are Tatunaans.
From Balohad, Chen Tao learned that the so-called great wizard was not a native Tatunaan, but a foreigner. He once used witchcraft to help the king at the time and won victory in a war, so he was brought back to Tatunaan.
At first, this man just worked as a little wizard under the previous great wizard, and later he became the great wizard of Tatunaan.
To a large extent, the people in the Great Wizard camp are more like a religious local force. The people in it just believe in the Great Wizard, so the people are relatively mixed, including Uighurs, Hui people, Tibetans, and even some Most of the black people who sneaked over from neighboring countries are evil-doing and vicious people.
Suok didn't know where this thin black man was from. He couldn't understand him when he spoke to him in Tatunaan at first, but later he discovered that he actually understood Chinese.
The thin black man had been injured on his leg before, but was not beaten to death. Now he was limping behind the crowd. When Chen Tao turned to look at him, the thin dark man's eyes were looking at him unblinkingly, his eyes flickering, which made Chen Tao's heart skip a beat.
Seeing Chen Tao suddenly turning around, the thin black man turned his head unnaturally and hurriedly avoided Chen Tao's sight. He said to Suoke on the side: "You can't blame me, but I am injured and can't leave like you." quick!"
Compared with Oulenk, the attitude of the guards led by Balohard towards the prisoners was much better. Although they were always wary of the thin black man, they did not fight and fight like Oulenk before against Chen Tao and the others. scold.
When he was resting before, Ye Rong even gave him some water.
"You have to walk even if you don't walk fast, otherwise I'll smash your other leg and throw you here as sausage!" Suoke bit a toothpick in his mouth and said viciously to the thin black man.
When a person is thirsty, biting something in the mouth helps secrete saliva. In the desert, water is the most precious thing. Holding a toothpick in your mouth can make you last a little longer.
The thin black man rolled his eyes and ignored Sok's threat. He stood up straight with one hand on his leg and said, "I want to pee."
"Piss on your sister, believe it or not, I'll chop that thing into pieces for you with a knife!" He grabbed the thin black man's clothes and said, "Hurry up, I don't have time to chat with you. Say one more word, I will One shot will kill you!"
This thin black man obviously wants to slow down everyone's progress. Bruno and Oulenke are already several hours ahead of Chen Tao and the others. Although people can't walk fast in the Forest of the Dead, everyone is rushing to get there tomorrow. Exit the Forest of the Dead before sunrise.
"Ouch!" The thin black man was grabbed by Suok, and he screamed out. He collapsed on the ground, covering his legs and screaming, "I can't do it anymore. If you can, kill me. I won't leave!" "
Suoke's teeth were itching with anger, he loaded the gun with a click, and pointed the gun at the head of the thin black man.
"Get up quickly!"
The thin black man glanced at the muzzle of Sok's gun and was not afraid. He closed his eyes and said, "Okay, kill me and I will be free!"
"Damn it, you really thought I didn't dare to kill you, did you?" Sok gritted his teeth and was about to pull the trigger, but was stopped by Balohard.
"Sock, let him pee!" Balohad looked at the man on the ground with a sullen face and said nothing.
"Damn it, get up!" Suoke lifted the thin black man from the ground and pushed him aside, "You need to pee!"
"This is inconvenient!"
"What the hell..." Suok laughed angrily, "You really think of yourself as a person. I think you want to die!"
"There is a beautiful girl over there. I can't pee here. I can't pee." The thin black man rolled his eyes and looked at Ye Rong in the distance with a flattering expression.
"You!" Suoke gritted his teeth angrily, "If I look at you again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!"
"Let him go." Balohard nodded towards the man, "Don't play tricks."
"Lord Barlow!"
"It's okay, let him pee." Balohard didn't look at Sok, he just patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and waved to the others and said: "Let's continue, Sok, keep an eye on him. Got it!"
"Don't worry, this black cripple can't run away!"
Seeing Chen Tao and the others leaving, the thin black man's eyes flickered. With his back to Suok and the others, he limped to a tree trunk on the other side, with a smile quietly appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"Ballohard, do you think you have mastered everything? Haha, I want to show you what it means to capsize in the gutter!"
The thin black man pretended to pee, and quietly glanced at Suoke behind him. Seeing Suoke staring at him, he quietly moved a few steps forward, humming in his mouth and pouring water, his eyes flickering from time to time. Peeking back at Suoke and others.
"You keep an eye on him, and I'll go pee too!" Suok said to the other person, then turned and walked towards the big tree on the side.
The thin black man couldn't help but feel ecstatic when he saw Suoke turning his back to him.
"God is really helping me!"
He quickly tightened his belt, took advantage of the other guard turning his head, took a step forward, and instantly dodged behind the big tree next to him, and ran away.
It turned out that he was not injured at all!
This tree was specially chosen by him. It was more than one meter thick and could completely block anyone standing behind it.
"Lord Sok, that man ran away!"
