The Grimace Tree pulled its big mouth to one side and ignored Su Wen's excuse.
Su Wen did not continue to explain. What he stated was the facts. Whether the Grimace Tree believed it or not was its own business. Whether it believed it or not did not seem to be important.
"Are you really not a dryad?"
Zheng Ming also wiped the blood from the corners of his eyes at this time, and carefully stared at the faces on the Ghost Face Tree. Seeing that the Ghost Face Tree's gaze was not as sharp as before, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It doesn't make sense...otherwise what?
Can speak human language!”
"I am a human being!"
The human face glared at Zheng Ming, but after his deep eyes fell on Zheng Ming, he quickly relaxed and muttered: "It turns out that the fog ghost hurt my brain, no wonder I asked such a superficial question... Ha, even the fog ghost
This weakling who can't even hide dares to come to Ghost Island... Was he tricked here by someone?"
"nonsense……"
Zheng Ming had no sense of fear, and naturally could not feel the mental pressure that the Grimace Tree brought to Su Wen. He retorted plausibly: "I spent a lot of money to buy the location of the Ghost Island, and I came up here myself!"
Hearing this, Weird Face was a little happy: "...Okay...it's really stupid, it has nothing to do with the Fog Ghost."
Su Wen listened to the conversation between Zheng Ming and Strange Face, and his heart was full of weirdness.
There is no doubt that when the strange face talks, it is no different from a living person, and it is not wrong to say that it is a human being.
But...how can a human grow like a tree...
"Don't speak ill of me in your heart, I can hear you!"
The strange face said dissatisfiedly to Su Wen.
"...just out of curiosity, no malice!"
Su Wen quickly said: "You said you are a human being... but why did you become like this?"
"Heh... do you want to find out my secrets, or do you want to see my jokes?"
The eyebrows on the strange face were knitted together, his eyes were shining, and he stared at Su Wen very unkindly.
"Just curious!"
Su Wen hurriedly quoted what he had said before: "Otherwise...it would be really hard to accept it!"
"...Too much curiosity will kill you!"
The strange face on the tree said calmly: "But since you are here, there is a high probability that the consequences will be like this... People trapped in the abyss projection usually do not survive three hours, and only a few lucky ones can find the rules here.
Loophole, I finally escaped, but I paid a huge price..." At this point, the strange face paused and asked: "For what reason were you sent in... With your strength,
There’s no reason why we could reach this place alive…”
Su Wen answered honestly: "We broke the rules at the Eye of the Ghost... He said we would be punished for twelve hours." After sighing, he asked: "Senior, is there any way to help us survive here for twelve hours?
...Perhaps instead of twelve hours, eleven hours plus three quarters of an hour will be enough."
"...You calculated carefully." The strange face laughed at Su Wen's words, but its answer poured cold water on Su Wen's heart: "No."
Zheng Ming said blankly: "Why not?"
Su Wen also wanted to ask this question, but Zheng Ming responded faster than him, so he could only give Zheng Ming a thumbs up silently in his heart.
"First of all...why should I help you if I'm not a relative?"
The strange face snorted coldly: "Secondly, there is no benefit in helping you... Finally... this is beyond my ability. To help you, I have to take a huge risk, and may even die here. Only a fool can do such a thing.
!”
"Oh..." Zheng Ming nodded: "It turns out that you are not strong enough... That's no wonder. But it's also right. If you have this ability, you should leave here and you won't become a grimace tree..."
"presumptuous!"
The strange face on the tree trunk was furious: "Who said I can't leave here... My clone is always active outside! It's just that my body doesn't want to leave and is parasitic on this strange tree, waiting for me to drain it.
The power of the sky, the earth, the abyss, the sea of stars, where can’t it go?”
"Really...I don't believe it!"
Zheng Ming was doubtful.
Su Wen wanted to give Zheng Ming a thumbs up, but also wanted to put some distance between him and Zheng Ming. If Weird Face got angry, he would not be implicated by Zheng Ming.
Zheng Ming, who has lost his soul, seems to have gone farther and farther on the road of letting himself go.
"Hmph... If you wait here for a while, you can see my clone. He will be back soon!"
"return?"
Su Wen seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't dare to believe it, so he asked tentatively: "What are you doing here?"
"I can't tell you this."
The strange face sneered: "This involves my extraordinary secret. If you know the secret, you don't need to tell me what the consequences will be, right?"
"Understand, understand, I was wrong."
Su Wen quickly gave in.
The strange face sneered, and seemed not to be very interested in the two of them, so he stopped talking.
Su Wen was silent for a few seconds, feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange.
He still had many questions to ask about the strange face, but his vigilance against the strange face had not diminished, and he was worried that he would be taken advantage of by the other party during the questioning process, and would eventually be trapped here.
When you are in an abyss projection, you cannot be too careful. Even if the strange face does not show hostility, you cannot relax your vigilance. The atmosphere is awkwardly silent.
"Where's your... clone?"
After waiting for a few minutes, Zheng Ming couldn't help but ask.
The corners of Su Wen's mouth rose slightly, but he held back his laughter after all. He just quietly moved his steps and put some distance between him and Zheng Ming. But within two seconds, he moved back to his original position.
The sludge-like liquid at his feet seemed to feel that he had left the exit and was slowly approaching him. Su Wen even saw granulations quietly growing out of the end of the liquid, which soon turned into flesh thorns and then into fine fangs.
If you are bitten by this thing, even a small bite can tear off a large piece of flesh.
"Coming……"
The strange face responded gloomily.
Su Wen found that the strange face did not seem to be as violent as he imagined. Except for the damage caused when it was initially disturbed, the strange face was condensing its power and did not give them any more pressure or harm.
This also led Su Wen to believe that the strange face was transformed by a human being.
It's just that...it's a little different from the character of the person he suspects.
Yes, he suspected that the clone that Weird Face mentioned was Yang Kang.
Among the information Su Wen had, only Yang Kang fit the description of a "clone". If one dies, another will appear.
But that's just suspicion.
Yang Kang is not as easy to talk to as the strange face in front of him.
"call!"
However, at this moment, I heard something falling from above my head. The branches on the Ghost Face Tree suddenly rose into the air, weaving a large net and catching a black shadow. The black shadow was pulled to the trunk of the tree. Su Wen could see clearly.
That's a big living person.
"Look, my clone is coming."
The strange face grinned in the direction of Su Wen and said.
"Eh……"
Su Wen responded. When the strange-faced clone above turned to look at him, the expression on Su Wen's face suddenly froze.
"It really is……"
"Yang Kang?!"
Zheng Ming shouted out such a name first.
"...you know me?!"
Yang Kang on the tree said nothing, but the strange face said in surprise.
Soon, Yang Kang was wrapped up in branches one by one, gradually wrapping him into a round cocoon. The strange face on the tree closed its eyes and soon opened them again.
This time, the eyes on the monster's face were no longer green, but a clear brown-black color. He opened his mouth and sighed: "I know...it turns out to be you...Su Wen, Zheng Ming...how did you two get together?"
Did you go together?"
"..."
This time, even Zheng Ming, who had let himself go, stopped talking. Instead, he kept silent and stopped talking.
It took me a long time to figure out that the strange tree in front of me was actually Yang Kang... No matter how big-hearted you are, you have to digest it carefully before you can accept such a thing.
Su Wen also realized that Yang Kang only knew that they had crossed paths after the clone returned to his original body.
"...It turns out...you are really Yang Kang!"
Su Wen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Kang's previous behavior had always been strange. At this time, Su Wen finally understood that the Yang Kang he met was a clone of the tree in front of him...
"wrong……"
"Yang Kang" then spoke: "This is just my pseudonym when my real body is trapped here and my avatar is walking in Guixu. My real name is not like this..."
"So that's the case."
Su Wen nodded. This time he finally got the exact answer from the strange face. The strange face was indeed a human being, but his real body was trapped in the ghost face tree and became like this.
"But why do you need to use a pseudonym...Oh, I understand..."
Su Wen thought about Yang Kang's infamous reputation, and thought that this extraordinary person felt that he was using an avatar and could do whatever he wanted. Anyway, it was just his avatar who acted as the bad guy, and his true body would not be implicated.
"It's really..."
Su Wen sighed.
"What are you thinking about..."
Yang Kang said coldly: "If the clone is released in a place like this, it will inevitably be contaminated by the abyss. It is normal for the character to be distorted. It has nothing to do with me..."
"Yes Yes!"
Su Wen nodded repeatedly.
"Haha... What a good boy, you actually killed one of my clones!"
After the strange face retrieved Yang Kang's memory, he sneered repeatedly, and when he looked at Su Wen, his eyes were not very kind.
"...Senior, you really don't blame me for this."
Su Wenqing said sincerely: "You also know that your avatar's personality is a little twisted, and it is specially designed to make it difficult for me. If I don't be cruel, I will die..."
"Haha..." The strange face still gave out a creepy sneer, and Su Wen had to be on guard, worried that this guy would suddenly turn against him.
"I never thought that my Tao's clone would die in your hands..."
"……Peach?"
When Su Wen heard this surname, his mind suddenly moved, and he quickly asked: "Is the senior a Confucian extraordinary person?"
