Chapter two hundred and fortieth, so the formation of doubts
"call--"
A strong wind blew by, and a large number of dead branches and leaves were blown far away by the wind, revealing a black stone monument buried by branches and leaves.
Behind the stone monument is a deserted gravel path. There is no grass on both sides of the road, only dry and cracked land. You can't see the end at a glance, and you don't know where it connects.
The blood-colored characters on the stone tablet seem to be eternal, like a wise man who has been silent for thousands of years. Although it does not say a word, it always tells the visitor without reservation that behind the path is a dark forest that few people are willing to set foot on.
——
D-level restricted area, dark forest.
The so-called forbidden area is a place forbidden to living people.
The towering trees block out the sky and the sun. The huge crown of the tree is like a big umbrella. The dense black leaves are tightly attached to each other like staggered scales, vaguely pieced together into the shape of a painful human face.
The human face has empty eyes, just staring blankly at the sky, and the painful emotions seem to overflow. After looking at it for a long time, people feel hairy in their heart, as if they have been assimilated by the pain.
There are not a few such human-faced crown trees in the dark forest. They are everywhere, and together with many dark tree stumps with countless branches, they form the main body of the entire dark forest.
Different from the leafy human face crown tree, this dark tree stump is thick and strong, but the spreading branches are bare without a single leaf. A large number of black branches spread on the ground, intertwined with each other, as if weaving a
A huge net covers the entire forest and can be seen everywhere.
If Zhang Tao had seen these branches on the ground, he might have discovered that they were similar to the murderous branch on the tree at the entrance to the gathering place.
And this kind of branch comes from the Qiu Yi Tree, one of the most common taboo plants in the dark forest.
In addition to the human-face crown tree and the seeking tree, the dark forest is also filled with a large number of other strange-shaped plants. They either grow on the ground, or hide underground, or cling to rock trunks, or lie in the flowing lava.
, can survive almost anywhere.
Either bewitching or weird, there are no birds or animals, only countless strange plants that together create a unique ecological environment in the dark forest. They are constantly fighting for nutrients, and there is a set of survival rules among plants.
It is worth mentioning that most things in the dark forest seem to be black: black soil, black stones, black river water, black plants...even black magma.
Black is the thickest main color in the dark forest. Although the sun is high, it seems that it has not seen the sky all year round. Even the sunlight cannot give them new colors. They are dark and deep, which is daunting.
However, deep in the forest, there is such a kind of bloody dandelion, which is different from the darkness of other plants and has its own unique color.
It is worth mentioning that no other plants can be seen within a hundred meters around it, not even half a branch of the Qiu Yi tree. It seems that not even the 'street runner' among these taboo plants dares to follow it.
It lives in the same area.
The bloody dandelion swayed lonely in the wind, like a swaying bloody lantern, becoming a unique color in the dark forest, beautiful and dangerous.
Its rhizome is deeply rooted in the soil, twists and turns underground, and finally connects to a coffin buried deep in the soil.
A man lay in a dark coffin.
He is dressed in red and has red hair. He is tall and thin, with delicate features and a bit of a feminine look. Even with his eyes closed, he gives people an evil feeling.
The man seemed to have fallen into a long sleep. The dandelion roots penetrated the coffin and wrapped around his left arm. They expanded and opened with the man's breathing, like blood vessels separated from the man's body.
A strange totem is formed on it.
Just as Bai Mo guessed, in order to recover as quickly as possible, most of Wuyu's spirit fell into a deep sleep, and only a small part of it was attached to Wuyu Dandelion to observe changes in the outside world in order to provide timely feedback to the body.
"traitor……"
Suddenly, the man murmured unconsciously, his expression changed, and there seemed to be a mixture of complex emotions in his tone.
This sound was very soft, and disappeared in the wind in an instant along the roots.
On the ground, the bloody dandelions suddenly swayed, and a large number of flying flowers scattered in all directions, and they did not know where they were going.
And for some reason, many plants in the dark forest suddenly tightened their bodies inexplicably, as if they were afraid of something.
…
In the camp, all the burning candles and torches were extinguished, and it was already plunged into darkness where one could not see even one's fingers.
There was silence all around, even the heavy heartbeat disappeared, and a dead atmosphere spread silently.
I don’t know how long it took, but two small red dots suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Although it was only fleeting, I could still vaguely see a man in red clothes and red hair. He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were scarlet, and the red light flashed from his eyes. He was indifferent and intimidating—
—
After about ten minutes of long waiting, this fake body made of flesh and blood that had no desire to take advantage of dozens of people finally woke up.
In an instant, a powerful feeling packed with cold murderous intent swept through the entire camp and spread all the way along the passage until it touched the door at the tunnel exit.
The undisguised coercion seemed to make the entire passage tremble slightly. However, after looking around, I found nothing.
This was obviously different from the result Wuyu expected. He murmured to himself, his voice as cold as a knife: "No one...how is it possible?"
This sound was neither loud nor quiet, just enough to echo in the camp. However, there was a special power hidden in it that could easily arouse people's desires.
Once someone is hiding nearby, hearing this sound will immediately arouse a strong desire to share, so that they can't wait to jump out and fall into his sight——
But no, not a single person.
No one showed up, including the hateful Bai Mo, and it seemed as if everyone in the entire camp was dead.
Wuyu frowned.
This was very different from what he expected. After all, a monk who could escape could not escape from the temple. Logically speaking, even if everyone ran away, at least the "crop" parasitized by the endless grass seeds should not be able to escape from here.
…
However, he didn't even feel the woman's breath.
Wuyu knew very well that his successful awakening was enough to explain certain problems, which just confirmed his previous conjecture.
This shows that everything may be as he guessed. Bai Mo is very likely to be in poor condition now. Otherwise, with the other party's methods, there is absolutely no chance that his fake body will wake up, and he might even be treated as a puppet by Bai Mo.
This was the best time to get rid of that guy, but it might also be a conspiracy by the other party to lure him in. Therefore, after weighing the balance, he chose to use a fake body to test.
But no matter what the truth is, finding Bai Mo as soon as possible is a top priority.
However, what he didn't expect was that there was no scent of that guy in the tunnel...
Wu Yu thought for a moment, then just flicked his fingers, and all the torches in the camp lit up inexplicably. The firelight dispersed the darkness and illuminated the surrounding area again.
His blood-colored eyes turned, and his gaze quickly locked on a pile of dry plants. Most of them were dry leaves. They were obviously spread on something, and the bottom was slightly raised, as if something was hidden.
Wuyu didn't need to get close at all. He just raised his hand slightly, and those dry plants seemed to have their own thoughts. They were soon driven by him and left the place as if they were ordered to do so.
Looking at the things buried under the branches and leaves, Wuyu frowned slightly.
I saw under these branches and leaves was a body that had just died.
Her whole body was connected to the branches, leaving only a human-like head with a black mask on her face. Her eyes were closed at the moment. There was a huge wound on her neck, suspected of being cut with a sharp weapon. Green blood gushes out of the blood vessels and flows.
It has to be everywhere.
"Dead?"
This scene seemed to be beyond Wuyu's expectations. His figure instantly disappeared on the spot, and then appeared next to the corpse. He squatted down and looked at the corpse -
He remembered this woman's name, Wen Ziya. This was the 'crop' that he had planned to cultivate carefully. The name was worth remembering, and he would not have given up if it weren't for Bai Mo's appearance.
As Bai Mo guessed, for the sake of safety, Wuyu did not connect too much consciousness with the fake body, so the fake body only retained some necessary memories, and more mobility relied on the killing intent. After all, this was the only way, the fake body could
The main body will not be affected unless the body is in danger.
And Wen Ziyafa's name wine happened to be in the necessary memory.
Wuyu remembered clearly that he had clearly taken away the other person's murderous intention and transferred it into his own body, so that the guy would not be able to hinder him, and at the same time, he would not choose to commit suicide, so as not to waste such a good thing.
of seedlings.
And because he had absorbed the murderous intention, he was eager to kill at this moment. As soon as he opened his eyes, he wanted to kill all the living things in the camp.
However, who knew that after 'waking up', there would be no one in the huge underground passage, and the most hateful Bai Mo was completely missing, almost causing internal injuries to Wuyu's fake body.
But it stands to reason that Wen Ziya, who has lost the intention to kill, cannot commit suicide unless her willpower reaches a terrifying level, or... Bai Mo kills her.
The bloodless eyes moved.
But this doesn't seem very reasonable, because according to his previous observations, Wen Ziya and Bai Mo seemed to have reached some kind of cooperative relationship. How could they suddenly kill each other?
He thought for a moment and seemed to have a clear understanding. He suddenly sneered and said to the empty camp in front of him: "Hide your head but show your tail. It seems that you have really become a lost dog. Don't you even have the courage to face me?"
No one responded.
There is a power hidden in this sentence that can ignite angry desires, but it is still not enough to catch the guy hiding in the dark.
But Wuyu was not in a hurry. Before constructing the fake body, he had secretly surrounded the entire tunnel with a few flying flowers. Once someone came in or out, he would be alerted. However, he had not received any feedback until now, indicating that Bai Mo should not have left the tunnel.
right.
He was very confident that even if the guy used the power of "Wu" to escape secretly, he would not be able to escape Feihua's perception, so Bai Mo definitely hasn't left yet.
Therefore, there are only two possibilities for such a situation, either the guy is hiding very deep, or... he is already dead——
Only the dead can escape the control of desire and thus his perception.
But how is that possible...
While thinking about it, Wuyu's terrifying feeling once again ravaged the entire camp, and the aura was extremely terrifying. However, he still found nothing. Apart from Wen Ziya's body, he could see nothing else.
He wasn't annoyed, he just let out a subtle sneer, and then walked slowly into the passage.
As he left, all the light in the camp disappeared instantly, the torches were extinguished, and the surrounding area fell into a dead darkness again.
The footsteps gradually faded away until they were no longer heard at all.
The air was silent.
Not long after, there seemed to be a faint sound of relief in the camp.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The bright fire suddenly lit up, and as the candle flickered, a figure in red clothes and red hair was still standing there, as if he had never been anywhere.
His eyes were cast on an open space, his expression was playful, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth——
The sound of relief just now came from the underground of this place.
"A rat is a rat, and it's still caught in its nest."
A cold voice sounded from his mouth, and in an instant, the entire camp suddenly shook. Many thick vines emerged from the earth, like huge tentacles, and it didn't take long to plow the entire ground.
The ground was cracked and dust was flying. Under the influence of countless vines, the entire ground seemed to have been reclaimed. However, what puzzled Wuyu was that he still found nothing.
——There are no people hiding underground.
These vines are alive, and he can easily control these mindless things just by stirring up desire. The efficiency is extremely high, and it is difficult for the other party to evade search.
But speaking of it, these vines seem to be derivatives of the boundless grass species. They now seem to have their own independent consciousness and are not controlled by Wen Ziya.
From this point of view, the latter may really be dead...
Wuyu refused to give up, and plowed the ground several times again, but still got nothing, and no trace of Bai Mo was found.
"Did this guy disappear from the world?"
The strong murderous intention in his heart made Wuyu extremely eager to find Bai Mo. He no longer hesitated and quickly turned around and entered the passage.
However, not long after, his figure appeared in the camp again. He looked around and still had no clue, so he gave up the idea completely.
The passage was also dark. Wu Yu held a torch and walked quickly through the tunnel. His eyes first fell on the strange stones embedded in the left and right walls, and then he looked at the red scale patterns on the ground. He couldn't help but sigh.
...A long time passed, and he still couldn't recognize what these two things were.
Suddenly, he stopped and stared blankly ahead.
Not far ahead lay four corpses wrapped in black robes.
One of them looked very similar to Bai Mo's figure in his impression.
A strange look suddenly appeared on his face. This time he did not manipulate other things to identify the body, but walked directly forward and lifted the cloak himself.
Under the cloak is a black mask.
Wuyu carefully removed his mask, ready to take action at any time.
No surprise, the face under the mask was none other than Bai Mo, whom he had "thought about" for a long time.
His eyes were closed tightly and his body was completely breathless. It was obvious that he had died not long ago.
"Dead?"
Wuyu didn't know how to describe his mood for a moment.
