Yu Sheng immediately rushed forward, peeling away the green plants and digging up the soil, but he couldn't even see the shadow of the child.

"What kind of weird thing is this... a mountain spirit monster?"

After losing the blood mist, he seemed to have returned to an ordinary person, unable to detect any supernatural abilities at all.

The fog in the mountains is getting thicker and thicker, and the visibility is less than a few meters. In this season, the sun is rarely seen at all, blocked by thick clouds and fog.

Yu Sheng was wearing autumn clothes, and his shoes were soaked through. After losing the influence of the blood mist, he was shivering with cold. The temperature here was probably only a few degrees.

He took out the small box from his pocket and took out an old oil lamp.

"I never thought I would need you..." Yu Sheng smiled helplessly and prepared to light the ghost lantern.

But before he could take action, a pair of green palms suddenly stretched out from under his feet, grabbed his ankles, and dragged him into the soil.

The ghost lantern just fell to the green grass next to it and rolled several times.

"Pain...cold..."

I don't know how much time passed, but Yu Sheng stood up clutching his head. His whole body was sore, his clothes were soaked, and he felt cold and painful.

He opened his eyes, and it was pitch black all around him, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"This is...soil, where is this?" He stood up and groped around, his mind racing: "It seemed like someone pulled my leg just now. Could it be that child..."

From the time he entered Lijiacun until now, he had not had a clue, but he had already been attacked. This was the first time he encountered such a bad situation.

"Still unable to release the blood mist..." Yu Sheng tried to summon the blood mist again, but there was still no movement.

He patted the wet dirt on his hands, wiped it on his body and took out the small box.

In this situation, the supernatural items in the box are his last resort.

"The ghost lantern seems to have been lost when I was pulled down. Trouble..." Yu Sheng frowned. In this case, the importance of the ghost lantern was highlighted. It can not only provide light to save life, but also detect danger in advance.

Taking out the metal phone, Yu Sheng turned on the flashlight function. Under the light, he finally saw the surrounding situation clearly.

This seems to be an underground cave, the entrance

The diameter is just enough to accommodate an adult. The surrounding soil is very moist, with faint traces of water leaking out. Logically speaking, this kind of place should be very dull and difficult to breathe, but there is no such feeling at all, even better than outside.

The air is much fresher.

And just as the light appeared, there was a slight sound not far away, and it quickly disappeared.

Yu Sheng's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately pointed the light of his mobile phone at that place, and found countless green roots. He quickly ran over with his mobile phone.

"What kind of plant's rhizome is this..."

Those green rhizomes could actually move. As soon as his hand touched them, they crawled up along his hand. The speed was neither fast nor slow. If it were allowed to continue, I believe it would not take long before it would crawl all over Yu Sheng's body.

.

Feeling the pressure on his hand getting stronger and stronger, Yu Sheng quickly retracted his hand.

But those strange green roots lingered and bent towards him.

"Like an enlarged wall-creeper..." Yu Sheng took a few steps back, keeping a certain distance from those weird green roots.

He didn't stay here for too long and followed the light from his cell phone to explore the depths of the cave.

Occasionally, you can see those weird green roots on the damp cave wall, but fortunately they are not very aggressive and can be avoided with a little precaution. For some reason, he feels less and less cold, and the clothes on his body

It's obviously still wet.

Because he paid too much attention to his surroundings, Yu Sheng ignored his own situation. All the places touched by those roots had turned green, but he had no idea...

"Huh...huh..."

He walked all the way for more than ten minutes, and even felt a little breathless for the rest of his life, but still gained nothing. It seemed that he couldn't go to the end. The scene was exactly the same as he walked around, and he even felt a little dizzy for no reason.

Maybe it was because he was deep underground, or maybe it was due to fatigue, but his whole body had turned green at this time, even the wet clothes on his body.

"Why is it getting colder and colder? Did I go in the wrong direction..." Yu Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and suddenly found that his hands had turned green. He was so frightened that he almost threw away his phone.

"What...what's going on?!"

Although he was a little shocked, he was very

He quickly calmed down and looked at his body.

"Even the clothes are dyed green. It's probably caused by those weird roots, some kind of pigment?" He wiped the skin on his arms and found that it was not that simple.

Then he unwrapped the soaked clothes on his body, but the water stains on the ground were transparent, obviously it couldn't be the pigment on the green plants.

"I haven't felt any discomfort so far, which means it is not very harmful, or even not harmful..." Yu Sheng thought, and suddenly thought of the naked green child just now.

Isn't my current situation very similar to him? Isn't that child not a mountain spirit monster, but also an ordinary person affected by these green roots?

This Lijia Village is really hidden in the heavy fog. Even now, I still can’t see why...

Yu Sheng planned to contact the Paranormal Association, but the call always failed because the signal underground was too poor.

He had no choice but to give up the idea, stood up again, cheered up and continued walking forward.

The dark and damp tunnel is dark and deep, and the battery of the mobile phone is still running low, and the situation is becoming more and more serious.

However, the expression on Yu Sheng's face became more and more numb, and even his consciousness became dull. He would even suffer from temporary amnesia, forgetting who he really was and what he was doing...

"I have to get out of here quickly..." Yu Sheng suddenly woke up, broke out of that strange state, broke into a cold sweat, and immediately quickened his pace.

Fortunately, hard work paid off. After walking around a corner, it suddenly became clear that the surrounding area became brighter and the diameter of the cave became larger. However, when he looked inside, his eyes suddenly shrank.

Countless green roots are intertwined and swaying together, like a towering tree that can move, or like many octopus tentacles, which is a bit shocking to look at.

There are also countless holes on the cave wall in the distance that can accommodate just one person. This is obviously the intersection of these narrow tunnels.

There are many small holes above the cave, and the light from outside falls through the small holes.

"I'm afraid this thing is the root of all this..." Yu Sheng looked at the strange plant in front of him with a solemn expression.
