The black mist was like a wriggling curtain, and Chen Tao's breathing became a little heavy.
Because through the black mist, he actually saw a group of people.
The leader, whose face was wrapped in a black robe, was the great wizard.
Isn't he already dead? Why is he still alive?
Next to the great wizard was a red-haired witch, as well as Oulenke, Haymorton, Achen and others.
He even saw an old cat.
Next to him is a tall altar. At this time, the old cat is squatting alone, paying careful attention to the people around him, and quietly carving on the stone mountain with one hand.
"It's the Forest of the Dead!"
Chen Tao was shocked, he knew that altar, it was the place where the old cat left his mark.
In the picture, someone was walking towards the old cat. The old cat stood up in a hurry and was taken away by the man by the collar.
"Old cat!" Chen Tao exclaimed, but to no avail.
With a movement of his hand, the light of Langya's flashlight shifted, and the picture in the black fog suddenly changed.
In a trance, another group of people appeared in the light and shadow, and this group of people made Chen Tao's heart twitch.
Chen Tao opened his eyes wide and looked at the middle-aged man at the front who was holding a compass for positioning.
Uncle Long!
Looking at the man's demeanor and behavior, Chen Tao was 100% sure that he was Uncle Long, not Ye Rong.
After calming down, Chen Tao continued reading.
In the picture, Uncle Long and others looked nervous, as if they were being chased by something.
Chen Tao saw Uncle Long's mouth moving, but there were only images and no sound.
Uncle Long and the others were running and shooting behind them, and people kept falling down.
Suddenly, a somewhat familiar figure walked through the crowd and rushed in the opposite direction.
Chen Tao was shocked when he saw it. That person turned out to be Yang Lixuan.
Just when he wanted to continue watching, the picture became blurry.
Uncle Long actually came here!
But when did he come?
Chen Tao never saw Uncle Long and Yang Lixuan along the way, only Ye Rong pretending to be Uncle Long.
Is it possible that the stone wall in this black hole actually records what happened in the Forest of the Undead?
Chen Tao looked at the flashlight in his hand. Perhaps, because of the light, this information was read out again.
He shook the Langya flashlight anxiously, trying to see clearly what Uncle Long and the others were doing, but unexpectedly the group of people disappeared.
As the light and shadow shook, only the black devil willows were left.
etc!
Chen Tao was startled suddenly.
How come those ghost willows are alive!
Chen Tao looked at the ghost willows covered with leaves with some uncertainty.
After Tatunaan was buried, these Demonic Maps and Ghost Willows had been dead for at least a thousand years. How could they still be alive?
Could it be that Uncle Long and the others traveled through time?
The scene seemed to be fixed, the surroundings were quiet, only the ghost willows were gently swaying their branches and leaves.
Suddenly, some strangely dressed figures appeared in Chen Tao's sight.
Those people wore bronze armor, with simple long swords at their waists, and bronze tiger-head masks under their helmets, making it impossible to see their faces.
Chen Tao was a little surprised. This group of people turned out to be dressed like an ancient Han army.
During this period of time, Chen Tao was used to seeing Western-style robes and leather armor, but when he saw these Han decorations, he felt a little strange.
After taking a closer look, Chen Tao's heart couldn't help but beat violently.
These people were none other than the mysterious Qin soldiers whom they had seen in Heizigou.
That armor was so special that Chen Tao would never admit it.
What I saw at first was just a corpse, but now, it turned out to be a living person!
Is it possible that the scene in front of me came from more than two thousand years ago?
What does this mysterious and weird Qin army do?
While he was thinking about it in his mind, a hand suddenly placed on his shoulder, scaring him so much that he almost screamed.
"Holy shit, Liang Shaokai, what are you doing!"
"You hurry up and leave, what are you doing standing there in a daze?"
His train of thought was interrupted by Liang Shaokai. Chen Tao shook his head and looked down into the deep cave. Those images had disappeared. No matter how much he shook the flashlight, it was of no use.
"What do you think these holes are for?"
Hearing Haozi's voice, Chen Tao couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Hole? What hole?
Glancing around, he realized that he had reached the main trunk of the vine at some point.
I hadn't noticed it from a distance before, but standing here, Chen Tao noticed that there were many cracked holes on these thick vine branches.
Chen Tao walked to the nearest hole, reached out and touched it, and couldn't help but frown.
These large holes are formed by the cracking of vine branches, and they vary in size. The largest one can even fit a jeep directly into it.
Chen Tao touched the edge of the tree hole. The crack was very smooth, as if something had polished it. The dry skin cracks on it had long since disappeared.
"Something's wrong..." Chen Tao felt a little uneasy. He glanced around and suddenly found a few hair-like things on the edge of the tree hole.
"These hairs look so familiar..."
Chen Tao tried his best to think back, and his expression suddenly changed.
"No, there's something here!"
Almost instantly, Chen Tao knew who the owner of those hairs was.
In the forest of the undead, there is only one kind of monster that can move here.
Zombie monkey!
Could this be their nest?
Looking at the hollow branches, Chen Tao couldn't help but swallow.
No wonder those zombie monkeys are hiding in the branches of this devilish ghost willow.
The growth ability of the Demonic Willow is extremely terrifying. It is estimated that the entire Forest of the Dead has been shrouded in its thick vines.
The ghost willows in the Forest of the Dead all grow from the trunk of this tree. What is even more strange is that the trunk of this ghost willow grew out of this unfathomable black hole.
These vines are like natural pipes buried underground, forming an extremely complex underground network and becoming a natural nest for those zombie monkeys.
Thinking of those difficult zombie monkeys, Chen Tao felt a chill in his heart, wondering why he ended up in such a ghost place.
They were in the Forest of the Undead at that time, and the beads scared away the zombie monkeys. If Chen Tao's guess was correct, they should all have fled into the black hole.
This black hole is really too weird, with man-eating demonic ghost willows and unkillable zombie monkeys. Could it be that there really is the Hell of Hell down there?
Thinking of the various scenes recorded in the murals, Chen Tao began to murmur in his heart.
What's the scene like underneath this black hole?
"Taozi, why are you always staring down there?" Haozi was a little confused.
"I don't know how to tell you, but I seem to have seen something incredible!" Chen Tao was a little confused. Could it be that none of them could see it?
Haozi shook his head in confusion.
"Do you still remember the stone pillars on the cliff below the Man-Eating Valley?" Chen Tao looked at Haozi and said, "The stones here seem to be similar to those stone pillars. Somehow, they actually recorded some things that happened here. .”
"Really?" Haozi was obviously a little doubtful, "I looked at it just now, and there are no hairs at all!"
"I don't know what's going on. I did see some very strange pictures."
Liang Shaokai came up and took a photo below, sniffing and saying: "It's so dark, what good things can be under there?"
As he spoke, he took out a fluorescent stick from his backpack, folded it and threw it away.
"Holy shit, where did you come from?" Haozi complained.
"Just this one, no more." Liang Shaokai replied lightly, but his eyes were staring directly under the black hole.
The fluorescent stick bounces all the way down the main trunk of the ghost willow, and the green fluorescent light shines on the bark of the tree, showing a deathly gray color.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the fluorescent rod bouncing down, and their sights followed the fluorescent light extending into the depths of the black hole, until the fluorescent light turned into a weak dot, and finally disappeared completely.
"It's so deep!" Liang Shaokai smacked his lips. Just as he was about to say something, he saw something wrong with Chen Tao's face on the side.
"Hey, little brother, it's not like you, a light stick makes you feel so distressed."
Chen Tao ignored Liang Shaokai and stared directly at the black hole beneath him.
Just now, fluorescent light flashed across the stone wall below, and he saw countless knots rising up on the stone wall, which looked like sarcomas on a toad's back.
What are those things?
Chen Tao was a little surprised. He rummaged around in his backpack for a while, found a cold firework, pulled it and threw it away.
The cold fireworks plummeted into the abyss, and under the flickering light, Chen Tao saw it clearly this time.
Countless zombie monkeys are lying on the stone wall. When the light from the cold fireworks shines through, they are densely packed like a layer of tumor pimples on the stone wall.
"Holy shit, let's go!" Chen Tao's eyes almost fell out, he turned around and pulled Haozi and Liang Shaokai, who were still looking down, back.
"What are you doing?"
Liang Shaokai's eyesight was not as good as that of Chen Tao, and they did not notice the danger under the black hole.
"There are zombie monkeys down there, go away!"
"What!" Haozi's expression immediately changed, "This guy is out of the way, where are we going?"
Chen Tao also had a headache. They followed the footsteps of Yan and the others, but they were never able to catch up with the speed of Yan and the others.
But now there is no time to think about where Yan and the others have gone.
Chen Tao looked around anxiously, his eyes passing by the largest tree hole on the trunk, and an idea came to his mind.
When they first entered the Forest of the Undead, there were also many tree holes in the exposed tree crowns. Although they were not very big, they could still climb out despite their size.
"Damn it, this is the only way!" Chen Tao gritted his teeth and said to Haozi and others: "Drill into the tree hole and climb out!"
"You're kidding me, little brother. Aren't all the brothers in Kareli going to get cold?"
"Then just wait for death here, Amitabha."
Chen Tao also has no way out. The temple has been blocked and the river has collapsed. Rather than being trapped here and dying, it is better to fight again.
Without thinking, Chen Tao ducked into the tree hole.
The space inside the tree hole was beyond Chen Tao's expectation. After all, this is the main trunk of the ghost willow. It is very spacious and can fit even a large vat. I don't know if this is natural, dry or cracked. Zombie monkeys hollowed out.
Although this is the case, Chen Tao also understands that the space will only become narrower as you go higher.
"Take a big drill, this ghost willow tree has been completely hollowed out!"
There are several holes of similar size at the top of the tree hole, which extend upward as the vine branches grow.
Chen Tao did not dare to stay and climbed into one of the tree holes that looked relatively large.
At the beginning of this section, Chen Tao and others had a very difficult time climbing. My hands and legs were holding on to the inner wall of the tree hole. When I couldn't hold on any longer, I pressed my back against the back, kicked my legs tightly, and used the strength to breathe quietly.
If there is really no place to land, use a dagger or shovel to get stuck in the tree trunk. Although it is very difficult, you can barely climb up.
The tree hole was very suffocating, and the mouth and nose were filled with an extremely unpleasant smell, which almost made several people breathless.
Chen Tao tried hard to maintain the balance of his body and glanced down.
The tree hole is extremely steep. Once you lose your grip and fall, the consequences are unimaginable.
It was really painful for Chen Tao and the others to climb, but they could only hold on for dear life.
Chen Tao didn't know how long he had been climbing. The tree hole began to tilt. Several people breathed a sigh of relief. At least the physical force was no longer as painful as before. As long as they didn't slip, they would be able to continue climbing.
The space here is smaller than when we came in, but it's not too cramped.
"Taozi, are you sure those damn things are down there?"
"They're all on the stone wall below." Chen Tao motioned to Haozi and the others to move more slowly. Although the zombie monkeys have not caught up now, if they are alarmed, they will really be dead!
