When she said this, I began to feel nervous, and this forest grew very strangely. Some places were sparse, some places were very dense, and those dense places were crowded together to form some very weird looking trees.
image.
For example, not far in front of us, there were several ghost locust trees whose branches and leaves were tangled together. They looked like a huge human head, which gave people a very strange feeling.
But in the end we walked into the Ghost Locust Forest. The idea was very simple. After all, this forest grows in a stone castle. Its area does not exceed 5,000 square meters, and its length and width are only tens of meters apart. I think we should
It can be passed through easily.
After walking into the woods, we discovered that the density was beyond our imagination. The top was covered by dense branches and leaves, with no gaps exposed at all, so we couldn't even see the roof of the stone castle. The tree trunks below
They are no bigger than the mouth of a bowl at best, but they are closely packed together. We can only walk through the gaps along the gaps.
We walked for about ten minutes, but we still didn't reach the end. At this time, we all felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, even if it is difficult to walk on these dozens of meters wide, after such a long time, we should have reached the end long ago.
right.
Looking at each other, I noticed that Shuiyue's face was a little serious. I asked her if she had discovered anything. Her answer surprised me. She said that the gaps in the woods seemed to be left intentionally. It was like this.
A man-made maze, if we continue walking like this, we may never be able to get through it.
I can't believe it. This place is only a few dozen meters long and wide. No matter how we arrange it, it shouldn't be able to trap us. Besides, this stone castle has existed for at least thousands of years, but these ghost locust trees are not necessarily
With such a long time, if it was arranged by man, who would it be?
In the end, I suggested that we should go back the same way and wait until we figure out the situation here before leaving. They both agreed, but unexpectedly, we walked along the original path for a long time but did not return to the original location.
No matter where we got, we were surrounded by trees, and in the end we found that we seemed to have lost our way.
If this place is a huge forest, then there is one thing to say, but even a bigger place can trap us. This is not just an accident, but also seems a bit weird.
I asked the two of them if they had any opinions. Shuiyue was very thoughtful, but he didn't have any good ideas at this time. However, the monkey suddenly said something that surprised me: "If these books can move by themselves, it won't be a big deal to trap us."
impossible."
How is this possible? These are just plants, not people or animals. How can they move? If they can move on their own, why would they squeeze into such a big space when there is so much space outside? Why don't they just move there?
Are we trapped to death or are they directly attacking us?
After listening to my words, they were a little confused. Finally, the impatient monkey simply took out a long-handled knife from the package and said that since the soft one is not good, let's go straight to the hard one. No matter how hard this ghost locust tree is, it can't be cut.
No match for the sharpness of the knife, so this time we just forced our way out.
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to chop at a place with thick leaves in front of him. But as soon as the knife fell, a black shadow fell from above and landed directly on his shoulder.
"Damn it, where's the human hand?" The monkey yelled before I could see what it was. I shined a light on it, and sure enough it was a bloody arm hanging from the branches and leaves, vaguely still.
You can see a figure among the branches and leaves.
It turned out to be a dead man. The monkey also breathed a sigh of relief and raised the long-handled knife in his hand to clear away the branches and leaves around the corpse. Soon a red man fell from the top.
When I saw the appearance of this person, I immediately felt nauseous and almost vomited on the spot. Judging from the freshness of the body, it should have been dead for no more than two days. What makes people feel chilled is this
The entire skin on the person's body had been peeled off, leaving a bloody mess, as if something had been swallowed, half-digested and then spat out.
"Damn, he was skinned to make shoes." Monkey muttered, then turned the body over with a knife. Needless to say, this man's entire body was in terrible shape, so we couldn't tell his identity at all.
But I think he is most likely to be from Blind Chen's side, because those who walked the same road as us were basically blocked at Shenhu Lake, and Blind Chen should have taken the same road that the old man took.
So they should have arrived here long ago and passed through this forest as well.
I just don't know what kind of danger they encountered here. This kind of skinned death is really terrible. Just thinking about that scene makes people shudder.
At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark red shadow flashing in the darkness beside me, but when I turned my head to look over, the shadow had disappeared. For some reason, I suddenly felt an ominous feeling in my heart.
It feels as if we have been watched by something, which is watching our every move in the dark and may threaten our lives anytime and anywhere.
Now the monkeys no longer dare to chop with knives, so we packed up our things and continued walking along the gaps in the woods. Although the chance of walking out was slim, it was better than sitting there and staring.
This time we walked for nearly half an hour, and finally made a different discovery. We saw a group of trees in a circle among very dense branches and leaves, clustered into a ball shape, with no leaves left on the sides.
At the next crack, you can't see what's inside.
"What do you think that looks like?" Monkey asked. I was about to answer, but he continued: "Why do I feel that it is like a house? There are rooms and fences. Do you think there are people living in it?"
?”
I sneered, this is not in Savage Mountain, you thought there would be primitive savages living here!
"That's not necessarily true. I always feel like there's something weird here. Why are these trees so closely surrounded? Do you feel like these trees are protecting something?"
Hearing what he said, my heart moved. It is really possible. This forest can no longer be viewed with common sense. It would not be surprising to see any abnormalities. If this is really the case, what will happen to us?
Maybe it's an opportunity. The things protected by the trees must be very important to this forest. Anyway, we can't get out now, so we might as well find a way to go in and take a look. Maybe we can find a way.
Just when this idea came up, a red figure suddenly flashed in front of my eyes, and my body was immediately thrown to the ground. A fishy smell came over me, and my body was dragged towards the dense bushes nearby.
I screamed in horror, and my heart beat violently. At the critical moment, I had a flash of inspiration and hugged a tree next to me, so that I was not pulled into the bush immediately. However, the strength of that thing was extremely great.
My body felt a sharp pain as it pulled my legs.
"Don't be afraid tiger head, I'm here to save you."
I heard the monkey yelling, and from the corner of my eye I saw him rushing over with a long-handled knife, and then there was a sharp and shrill cry, and the thing finally let go of my body.
I got up from the ground with lingering fear and looked back. The thing had disappeared. Monkey and Shuiyue were standing next to me, looking around with vigilant expressions.
I sat down on the ground. In this short period of time, I actually felt exhausted. My legs were still shaking like a sieve. The feeling just now was really terrifying. I could foresee that if I was beaten
If it was dragged into the bushes, the end would be extremely miserable.
"What thing?" I asked. The thing was so fast just now. I only saw a shadow, as tall as a person, but there were no other clues.
"Tiger Head, don't ask, just take a look at this!" the monkey said, then picked up something with a knife and brought it to me.
I just glanced at it and my scalp felt numb. The thing he picked up was actually an arm covered in blood. But the strange thing was that this arm was just a piece of skin, and it looked like a human skin arm.
.
I suddenly remembered the skinned corpse I saw not long ago. Could this skin be his? I shuddered. This place is so weird. Even a piece of human skin can move on its own, and it can move on its own.
If you can attack people, what else is impossible here?
Seeing this situation, Shuiyue took out a spray gun from his package and handed it to me. I smiled bitterly. This kind of thing is okay for dealing with living creatures, but I'm afraid it won't be very useful here!
Shuiyue didn't say anything, but just told me to hold it in case of emergency. I nodded and thought, just take it. If it doesn't work, just give yourself a shot and you can get out faster.
However, after this incident, we feel that this place has more problems. Otherwise, we have been here for so long and still haven’t seen any movement from the human skin. But we came out when we decided to go and see what’s going on here.
It means that it doesn't want us to get close to here. If this is the case, then we should go take a look even more.
The only problem is that it is surrounded like a fence. If we want to clear all these trees, it will definitely take a lot of work. So we decided to climb over it, which would be faster.
The branches of these ghost locust trees are very developed, and there are many branches for us to borrow strength from, so the three of us climbed up easily. However, the branches and leaves above are too dense, and as soon as we got in, we fell in love with each other.
He couldn't see the other person anymore, it was like he had plunged into a haystack, and he could only crawl in with his head down.
