Not long after, Wen Sengyu was awakened by the noisy sound under the tree.
"Look! The ancient temple has not disappeared!"
"Why did the color of the outer wall of the ancient temple turn black?"
"Who blindfolded the stone statue?"
Everyone was discussing at the entrance of the ancient temple. Wen Sengyu rubbed his eyes and slowly climbed down the tree while looking in the direction of the crowd.
When he was about to reach the entrance of the ancient temple, Ji Qianqian also came from not far away.
She stretched and said, "Brother Sengyu, good morning! Did you sleep well?"
When Ji Qianqian said this, she obviously increased her voice, hoping that others would hear her.
"Morning, I slept well." Wen Sengyu responded cooperatively.
The last person to arrive was Lin Qianqian. After she arrived, Brother Shuo said in an impatient tone: "Who the hell was here last night? You'd better tell me honestly, otherwise don't blame me for turning against you! "
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the noise just now disappeared.
"Brother Shuo~ I'm just a weak woman. It's so scary here that I don't dare to come here alone." Ji Qianqian was the first to speak.
Wen Sengyu would have believed it if he hadn't seen Ji Qianqian's brave and calm look last night.
At this time, Brother Shuo looked at Wen Sengyu.
"Don't look at me. I was with her last night. If you don't believe me, just ask her." Wen Sengyu pointed at Qianqian Qianqian, and Lin Qianqian's eyes widened.
"Hate it! Hate it! Hate it! Didn't you say you want to keep it a secret! People are ignoring you, huh!" Ji Qianqian said while tapping Wen Sengyu's chest muscles.
"Stop being so disrespectful here. I hate you two. Don't you see there are students here?" said a woman in the crowd.
"What the hell are you doing! You're an old-fashioned, yellow-faced woman!" Ji Qianqian said.
"You little girl! Don't think that because you are good-looking, no one will hit you. I have to tear your face apart today!"
Just as the woman walked towards Ji Qianqian angrily, a middle-aged man in the crowd stared at the outer wall of the ancient temple and gradually approached, and happened to bump into the woman walking towards her.
"Are you blind?!" the woman yelled angrily.
"So beautiful." That's all the man said.
Everyone looked at the man in confusion.
"This wall is so beautiful." The man said and touched the wall.
The color of the outer wall of the ancient temple is different from yesterday. It has changed from red to black. There are some lines on the black wall, which look like the skin of some kind of animal. If you look carefully, you can also find that the wall is shining bright white. of powder.
"This color and powder? It's very similar to the flower last night." Wen Sengyu thought to himself.
"Ahhhhh!!!" The middle-aged man screamed miserably the moment he touched the wall.
"Help me! This wall is tearing my skin apart!" the man yelled.
At this time, everyone was panicking. Just when Wen Sengyu was about to step forward and pull him, Ji Qianqian shook her head at him.
Then Brother Shuo ran over and took the man's hand.
"Why the hell are you still standing there? Come and help!" Brother Shuo shouted loudly.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about Brother Shuo, Ji Qianqian nodded to Wen Sengyu, indicating that he could go over and help.
"Ahhhh!!! Pull me out!" The man howled in pain, his voice even hoarse.
Wen Sengyu didn't understand why the man said to pull him out, because the man was not sucked into the wall.
But he understood the next second.
I saw the man's skin gradually detached from his body, and pieces of skin fell off his body in an instant, along with some pieces of flesh being pulled into the wall bit by bit.
"Save me, save me...!"
As the cry for help became weaker and weaker, the man fell to the ground, his body curled up, like a budding flower, which was particularly weird.
There was a groan and several people nearby vomited out. Although Wen Sengyu didn't vomit, he turned his head to the side.
"The current number of survivors is 11."
The familiar roar sounded from their ears, and everyone seemed to be used to it.
"Damn, another person died!" Although Brother Shuo said this, his voice was obviously much softer than before. "Hurry up and speed up the progress! Go inside and take a look."
Everyone followed Brother Shuo's footsteps to the ancient temple.
Wen Sengyu saw the eyepatch on the statue's head at a glance, and then looked at each other with Ji Qianqian.
Before he rested twice in the tree hole last night, he had already restored the place. It was obvious that other people had been here.
Thinking of this, Wen Sengyu glanced at the location of the tunnel, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
"It seems that others rushed over before that person had time to discover the secret of the tunnel." Wen Sengyu thought to himself.
"I don't want to fucking find out who came here secretly last night. If you want to survive, tell everyone the clues you have discovered, otherwise they will all die!" Brother Shuo said.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one said anything.
"The donors are here again."
Just as the atmosphere in the air was about to solidify, Jingye walked in from the door.
Jingye glanced at the blindfold on the statue's head and then said, "It seems that someone has discovered the secret of the statue."
"Master, how do you say this?" Brother Shuo said.
Jingye ignored Brother Shuo's question, just silently walked to the statue and sat cross-legged, then closed her eyes and entered meditation.
"This old bald ass is useless, just kill him!" a tattooed man shouted arrogantly.
"Qi Jun, shut up. If you have the skills to talk nonsense, why not go find clues!" Brother Shuo said to the tattooed man.
"Brother Sengyu, let's go for a walk nearby. Maybe we can find some useful clues~" Ji Qianqian suddenly said.
Just as Wen Sengyu was about to respond, a loud noise came from deep in the forest.
"What's going on?" Wen Sengyu looked at Ji Qianqian and said.
"Let's go over and take a look together. Don't get separated yet." Qi Jun said to everyone.
As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, Wen Sengyu saw the giant tree in the center of the forest disappear.
"Where did the giant tree go?" Others asked the same question.
During the march, Wen Sengyu felt that this forest seemed different from usual, but he couldn't tell. He didn't know if it was related to the disappearance of the giant trees.
Ji Qianqian seemed to have discovered something and kept looking around.
Everyone was getting closer and closer to the giant tree. Only then did Wen Sengyu realize that the loud noise just now was the sound of the giant tree falling and hitting the ground.
"Why did the giant tree fall?!"
"The green light in the eyes has also disappeared!"
"Is it dead???"
Everyone had different opinions, but only Wen Sengyu and the other three seemed to be thinking about everything calmly.
Wen Sengyu observed carefully. The giant tree in front of him was cut in half, and there were regular cracks at the break. It seemed that it was cut by a weapon such as a thin knife, but how long can a knife split such a giant thing?
There is another question that also puzzles Wen Sengyu. The trees in the forest are all suspended in the air. Why does the giant tree in front of him fall down after being cut off? The normal logic should be to continue to float?
But at this time, Wen Sengyu remembered what Ji Qianqian said - the physical laws of our world do not apply here, so we cannot use normal logic to think about the problem.
Just like the cross-section of this giant tree, it is not an annual ring, but a huge pipe-like space, which is enough for more than 10 people to pass through at the same time. The space is filled with purple-red blood, which is transmitted from the roots of the giant tree. , but the blood did not flow out as the tree collapsed, but continued to flow inside the trunk.
Just when Wen Sengyu wanted to get closer and take a closer look, the blood inside the tree trunk suddenly poured down. The huge amount of blood came like a flood, instantly knocking Wen Sengyu down. During the struggle, he saw Ji Qianqian and the others from the corner of his eye. He was also swept away without even having time to say a word to him.
The unexpected blood tide made him choke on a large mouthful of blood. Wen Sengyu was rushed far away and separated from the large army.
After cleaning the blood on his face, Wen Sengyu got up in embarrassment.
"Is this...an ancient temple?" After reacting, he found himself rushed to the side of the ancient temple.
"There's so much blood that it can carry me so far away..." Wen Sengyu thought to himself.
After calming down for a moment, he shouted to the surroundings: "Jiu Qianqian! Lin Qianqian! Brother Shuo! Where are you?"
But Wen Sengyu didn't get any reply.
After hesitation, he glanced into the ancient temple. Master Jingye was still sitting there meditating, motionless.
Wen Sengyu moved his steps and walked towards the ancient temple.
"Master? Master Jingye?" Wen Sengyu said to Jingye after entering the temple.
"It moves when it hears the sound and patrols the night. Do you remember? It always likes to hide behind people and observe human behavior." Jingye repeated the reminder of the giant tree in her mouth, and then pointed at Wen Sengyu and the others who entered last night. authentic.
Wen Sengyu didn't understand what this meant, but he knew that Jingye wanted him to enter the tunnel again.
This is what he originally planned.
The blindfold on the statue's head was still on. Wen Sengyu took out the arrow in the statue's hand and tapped the entrance of the tunnel with the arrow. Then he restored the arrow but changed the direction of the arrow feathers. He believed that Ji Qianqian could notice this detail. .
Without any hesitation, Wen Sengyu jumped down.
There was still silence and darkness, but his state of mind changed a lot after entering the tunnel for the second time.
"Wen Sengyu." Ji Qianqian's voice came from the darkness.
"Wen Sengyu, follow me." The voice came from far and near, coming from all directions. It was very unreal.
"Why are you doing this!!!" Ji Qianqian's voice seemed to be filled with anger.
"Sorry, this is the only way."
Why do you still have your own voice?
"I will definitely help you come back!" After saying this, Ji Qianqian's voice disappeared.
At this time, a vague figure came into Wen Sengyu's mind. He wanted to touch it and tried to recall the conversation just now, but all he got was a splitting headache.
"I have to keep myself awake. I may reach the position of the flower soon." Wen Sengyu encouraged himself while cutting his hand with a dagger to stay awake.
He thought it was the pollen that made him lose his mind.
After walking for another 5 minutes, Wen Sengyu found the flash of light in the darkness.
The moment he found the flower, Wen Sengyu slowed down his breathing, held his breath as much as possible, gently picked it off, and then held it far away from his face.
Walking out of the long tunnel again, the scene in front of me was not the room where I woke up for the first time, but the school library.
"Am I coming out?" Wen Sengyu thought to himself.
