At some point, a strange mist rose. Lu Qing rubbed her temples and wanted to take two steps back, not to listen to the whispers coming from the strange tree.
She felt as if she had lost some instinct.
No, it couldn't be considered instinctive. She just didn't know the direction for a while, as if she had been disturbed by some kind of interference.
She moved her legs forward. Although her mind was clearly thinking of going back, Lu Qing's body moved forward, and the distance between her and the strange tree became even closer.
There was a fishy smell with an earthy smell spreading in the air. Lu Qing quickly stopped and looked at the strange tree in front of her.
She tried to walk to the left, but her body still couldn't stop moving forward. There was no way. Lu Qing could only stop her thoughts, but found that her calf, which had already been halfway forward, could not be taken back.
This situation made Lu Qing feel a little scared in her heart. She was not timid, she was just simply afraid of invisible or weird things.
If she could see it with her eyes, or knew the reason, she wouldn't be so scared.
"Help me..."
"it hurts........"
"Jenny..."
"elder brother........"
The human faces on the strange tree kept moving their lips and whispering one after another. These sounds passed into Lu Qing's ears, like some kind of special spell, giving her a headache.
She seemed to be able to feel the pain of the souls imprisoned by the strange tree. The other party kept making sounds, just hoping that someone would come to rescue them from this hellish pain.
"No, I can't save you."
Her delicate facial features wrinkled slightly, and Lu Qing's cheeks were covered with sweat. She stared blankly at the trunk of the strange tree, and walked forward with her legs.
Finally, she came to the strange tree and stepped on a branch buried underground.
"it hurts........"
A dull whisper came from Lu Qing's feet, and a man buried underground spoke with a numb expression on his face. His arms stretched upward, looking like a branch.
That was the part that was broken by Lu Qing, and a thick white liquid continued to flow from the broken branch.
“…..”
Lu Qing's body paused, and then her eyes regained consciousness. At the same time, the sign in her mind suddenly trembled.
[Wein was flying in the air anxiously. He was now in a foggy space. He could not find a way out whether he was flying up or down. He was completely lost at this time and could not tell the difference.
Where is the ground and where is the sky?]
[The knowledge in his mind cannot allow him to break through this space. Obviously, the existence that allows him to enter the illusion is much stronger than him at this time. 】
[And it was at this time that you suddenly noticed something. On the strange tree in front of you, there was a man staring at you closely, and his lips that kept moving seemed to be saying something. 】
"Is there someone staring at me from the strange tree?"
When Lu Qing saw the information on the notice board, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart. Although she knew it was a warning, she still felt a little bit creepy in her heart.
With his eyes constantly moving, Lu Qing quickly found the man mentioned on the sign.
This guy is not difficult to find, because everyone except him has a dull look on his face, only he is staring at her with bright eyes.
The other person's lips were moving, and Lu Qing concentrated on trying to hear what the other person was saying.
"Walk backwards..."
This was the other party's prompt. Lu Qing frowned, feeling that he didn't quite understand what the other party meant.
She wanted to walk backwards, but her body was not under her control at all.
But the notice on the sign cannot be in vain, it must be reasonable.
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Qing controlled her body and stepped back again.
Sure enough, her legs were still trying to move forward, unable to move backward at all.
The whispers continued, and Lu Qing felt that she couldn't hold on for much longer and had to think of a way quickly.
"Breathe... exhale..."
"No matter what, you have to give it a try to find out!"
Heartbroken, Lu Qing closed her eyes and then let her body step back.
The next moment, she felt her hand raised and touched the trunk of the strange tree.
The bark of the strange tree feels sticky and slippery, just like the skin of some kind of creature. It is constantly squirming in the palm of your hand and is full of wrinkles.
This feeling was really terrible, making Lu Qing feel like her scalp was numb, and she couldn't help but have goosebumps on her skin.
However, this was just the beginning. In her perception, she seemed to be climbing this strange tree.
Suddenly, Lu Qing's palm touched something very familiar, which was a person's chest. Because he was so thin, Lu Qing felt row after row of ribs.
At the same time, a sudden memory flooded into my mind.
It was the memory of a man before he died. He was captured by the followers of the Tree God Cult, and after emptying out all his internal organs, he was sacrificed to this strange tree.
Pain, resentment, fear...
Countless feelings surged into her heart, and before Lu Qing could digest them, she touched another person's body.
That was a person's face. Judging from the memory that suddenly came to her mind, it seemed to be a little girl. In order to continue climbing up, her arms pushed the little girl's head down with a strong force.
.
With just a click sound, Lu Qing's body successfully moved a certain distance towards the top of the strange tree, but the little girl's head fell from the strange tree.
"it hurts........"
"Who is...?"
"Don't step on me..."
"Human..."
"Why... you are still alive..."
"hatred........."
Lu Qing's behavior seemed to have completely awakened the soul of this strange tree. All the arms near her body began to stretch out towards Lu Qing. They were like water ghosts trying to pull people into the water, desperately
Pulling Lu Qing's body.
Knowing that there was no way back, Lu Qing bit her lips and closed her eyes tightly not to look at the situation on the strange tree, but kept giving orders to her body to retreat.
However, as pairs of hands pulled her limbs one after another, memories and resentments from before her death entered her mind one after another.
Lu Qing kept climbing up, tearing off one arm after another, and trampling one body after another under his feet. After not knowing for a long time, he finally, under the constant impact of memories and emotions,
Then, her spirit could no longer be controlled and she fainted.
At the last moment when she passed out, a picture flashed through her mind.
It was a very strange-looking big tree, with one after another withered human beings clinging to its skin.
And like those humans, her body was tightly attached to the bark of the tree, and her limbs and body were bound by dry arms one after another...
