Yang Yiyi no longer knew where she was at this time.
Those moving dead trees seemed to be very afraid of fire. After seeing the power of the burning talisman, they ran away without knowing where to go. When she turned around, there was only a large area of desolation behind her. There was no end in sight, and the space seemed to be infinite.
Stretching it out, I can't find any reference at all.
She seemed to be abandoned here alone.
But she's not alone here.
Not far in front of Yang Yiyi, a diamond-shaped boulder was embedded diagonally into the soil. A thorny vine hung from the top tip. The end of the vine was wrapped around a man's ankle, sinking deeply into the flesh.
Hang it upside down.
Half of the man's head was buried in the soil, with only his nose and mouth exposed. I don't know if it was because his ankles had been bleeding, but his skin looked a little pale.
Yang Yiyi was shocked. She seemed to have seen this person before. He should be Sister Miaomiao and the others. How could he be hung up in this place?
Are the children around here too?
There was a faint rise and fall in the man's chest, indicating that the man was still alive. Yang Yiyi first carefully observed the surrounding environment and found nothing strange, and then gave a tentative shout.
"Hey, are you okay?"
She was cautious, not daring to take action at will, let alone step forward at will, for fear that she would fall into a trap - the footprints outside the room made her confused before, and she ran around blindly without any preparation, and no one was found.
Not to mention, I almost fell into danger. I must learn a lesson and be extra cautious in the future.
There's something very wrong with this shellfish forest.
"Save...save me..."
As if he heard her voice, the man opened his mouth and made a very slight cry for help.
Yang Yiyi frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly took out a charm, put it between her index and middle fingers, and then used it as a dart to fly out.
The light talisman was like a sharp blade in her hand, radiating cold light and falling on the thorny vines in an instant.
However, the vine was much stronger than she imagined. Instead of cutting it off, the sharpening charm gradually turned into scraps of paper during the cutting process.
"ah!"
At the same time, the man's body trembled violently, and he let out a painful roar, "Don't touch that vine, you'll keep doing it!"
Yang Yi suddenly became wary and frowned: "Half of your face is buried in the soil and you can't see your eyes. How did you know that I touched the vines?"
"This vine is very weird. Now it is connected to me and is equivalent to a part of my body, so the pain it feels will be fed back to me..." the man explained weakly.
Yang Yiyi looked at the vine that pierced the man's ankle and frowned: "Then how should I save you?"
"Cut off my legs..."
"ah?"
"Cut off my leg, the one connected to the vine..."
"Are you serious?"
"Don't hesitate, cut off my legs quickly and separate me from this damn vine, quickly!" the man said hurriedly.
Yang Yiyi was not an indecisive person. After hearing this, she immediately stopped hesitating and took out a sharpening charm again, using it as a dart and throwing it at the man's ankle.
However, at this moment, as if premonition of the crisis, the vine suddenly shook violently, and then, the spikes on the vine flew out, like flying needles all over the sky, shooting the sharpening talisman into pieces, causing it to be lost.
effect.
But Yang Yiyi had long sensed that the vines might defend themselves, so this offensive was not as simple as just one sharpening talisman. Three sharpening talismans followed closely behind it. Behind the talisman were two transparent blades, which were thrown at a tricky angle.
, almost difficult to detect.
This kind of blade is a hidden weapon that Yang Yiyi uses for self-defense. She usually quenches the poison, but now it is obvious that she cannot use the venom-quenched blade, lest she kill the man directly.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Although the vine itself was very strong and not very afraid of sharp weapons, it seemed to be very afraid of the man being rescued. Seeing that it could not withstand Yang Yiyi's attack, it suddenly trembled and pulled the man's body upwards, and the ground began to shake.
A premonition of crisis suddenly struck, and Yang Yiyi jumped up without hesitation. Almost at the same time, the ground she was standing on suddenly cracked, and a thorny vine emerged from the ground. The sneak attack failed.
Seemingly as a signal, as the vines emerged, starting from the broken ground beneath it, the ground continued to crack, spreading to the position beneath the man.
At the same time, a huge thing appeared in front of Yang Yiyi.
Yang Yiyi's heart sank. She thought the vine that appeared under her feet was another new vine just now, but now it seems that it is actually part of the vine that restrains the man——
There is only one vine here, but it is terrifyingly long, and most of the body has been hidden underground, like a venomous snake with a slender body.
As the ground cracked, the vines that appeared completely became angry, twisting their bodies like snakes, causing half of the man's face to emerge from the soil - it was a face twisted in pain.
Seeing the next scene, Yang Yiyi almost vomited.
She had seen a lot of disgusting scenes before, but this was the first time she had seen something as disgusting as this.
She originally thought that the man was just tied to his ankles by vines, and only part of the vines pierced his flesh and blood. However, when she saw the full picture of the vines, she realized...this vine actually pierced the man's entire body.
!
It penetrated from one foot to emerges from the top of the head. The man's entire body was penetrated, but strangely he was not killed. This is enough to make people's hair stand on end.
What's even more frightening is that men are not the only victims. There are dozens of people on this vine. They are also pierced from the ankles and emerging from the top of the head. The group of people is like a bunch of human candied haws, with pain on their faces.
It seems like substance.
And with the crazy twisting of the vines, they looked like disgusting centipedes, and they were disgusted just by looking at them.
These people seem to have been buried underground before, and their bodies have become very white. The closer they are to the ground, the more rotten their bodies are. Some have become withered bones. They should be the earliest victims, and the man is undoubtedly the latest unlucky person. In his head
There were several recently deceased corpses strung underneath, which should be his companions.
But everyone else seemed to be dead, and he was the only survivor—no, maybe not a survivor.
"What the hell is this..."
Yang Yiyi was frightened, and she didn't know whether to be lucky or not. She didn't find the child's body among the string of "candied haws".
Facing the weird snake-like vines, she didn't dare to be careless at all - these people in the black market are not weak, even they have fallen into the hands of this vine, so if they are not careful, the next one will be strung on the vine.
It's very possible that she was the one on top.
But...why is this guy still alive?
Yang Yiyi avoided the attack of the vines while looking at the man with a painful look. This guy's whole body was penetrated. Logically speaking, he should have died long ago. How tenacious is his life?
Or...is this caused by the vines?
The vine kept twisting and twisting like a whip, trying to touch Yang Yiyi, and soon caused smoke and dust everywhere. However, I don't know if it was because there were too many corpses strung together. Its movements were not very flexible, and Yang Yiyi could still handle it.
Calmly.
During this period, she did not attack the vines, because the senses of the vines were connected to the men, which would make the still-living men scream. She couldn't bear it, so she kept looking for the vines' flaws while avoiding them.
But instead of finding a flaw, she soon discovered that blindly avoiding was no solution at all. Instead, it would only push herself into a desperate situation step by step——
This vine is too long. During the constant attacks, its slender body almost covers a large space. The surrounding space is getting tighter and tighter, like a constantly closing net. If it continues like this, she will soon be
They will be swallowed up by this big net and end up with the same fate as these corpses.
"Help me, help me!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
The man on the vine kept pleading, but this made Yang Yiyi more and more upset.
She seemed to suddenly understand why all these people in the black market fell on this vine——
Perhaps the vines grabbed a person like this in the beginning, penetrating the first person, sharing their senses, and preserving his life as much as possible.
Faced with such a situation, perhaps the people in the future, just like her now, would not dare to take action easily because they were concerned about the safety of the first person. They could only try to find a way through constant avoidance. In the end, there was no way to avoid it, and they were killed.
Covered by a large net, it eventually became part of the vine.
And Yang Yiyi suddenly realized something very terrifying——
The posture of these corpses is very similar to the dead trees we saw before, with one leg upright, other limbs twisted, and the touch like skin... Could it be that the reason why these corpses are buried in the soil is to
Grow them into new dead trees?
Thinking of this, her expression turned grim and she threw out a burning talisman without hesitation.
Like the previous dead trees, this vine seemed to be very afraid of flames. It hurriedly avoided the burning spell as if it was electrocuted, shaking off its sharp thorns, and shot them towards Yang Yiyi like flying needles.
At the same time, the man's shrill scream suddenly sounded.
"Ah! Don't burn the vines, don't burn me! It's so hot and hurts!"
"I'm sorry."
Yang Yiyi wanted to save the man, but the man was at the other end of the vine, too far away from her. To save him would be to reach over the head and body of a giant snake to touch the man's tail. The risk was too high. With her current situation, Yang Yiyi wanted to save the man.
I'm afraid I can't do this
Moreover, the opponent's state is very strange. His survival may be dependent on the vines. It is not certain whether he can survive without the vines.
For some reason, a pale and indifferent face suddenly flashed in Yang Yiyi's mind.
If that guy were here, he probably wouldn't care about this man's life at all, right?
"As soon as possible, let's ask this guy what else he wishes for."
——This is probably the kindest thing that guy can say.
Yang Yiyi no longer hesitated, her face straightened, and she shouted: "Tell me where the child is!"
"Save me, don't kill me..."
As if he couldn't hear her words, the man wailed, "I want to live..."
Yang Yiyi kept pushing away the approaching vines and asked loudly again: "You can't live anymore, tell me where the child is!"
"Save me..."
"I asked you where the child is!"
Yang Yiyi couldn't bear it anymore and stabbed the vine hard. The man screamed and seemed to wake up a little.
"Tell me where the child is!"
The man was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react, and murmured: "Children, yes, there are children..."
"That's right, kid!"
Yang Yiyi said quickly, "Sister Miaomiao asked me to come. I want to take the children out of here. Tell me where they are!"
The man was stunned, suddenly coughed twice violently, and shouted in a weak voice: "They are behind the rocks, go and save them!"
His tone was so urgent that he coughed up blood from his mouth, but he still said loudly, "The third child has given them shelter. They should be able to last for a while. Follow the smell of blood and look for it. Go quickly!"
"I see."
Yang Yiyi took a deep breath, and a few charms slipped out of her sleeves. She held them between her fingers, folded her hands on her chest, and said calmly, "Then I..."
"No need to bother..."
The man took a few deep breaths and said, "My ability is [Contact Explosion]. Then let me die with this thing as revenge..."
His body continued to sway with the twisting of the vines, and an extremely painful expression appeared on his face, but he still forced a smile.
"I recognize you, you are Xiaoyi, right? Since the eldest sister has entrusted the children to you, you must take them out."
Yang Yiyi remained silent and nodded.
"Please, cough."
The man spat out the blood in his mouth, his face suddenly became extremely ferocious, and he roared, "Damn it, your biggest mistake is that you chose to bear the pain with me!"
In fact, he should have done this long ago...
The vine seemed to have a premonition of what the man was going to do, and it suddenly trembled wildly, as if it wanted to throw him off its body.
But it's too late.
"Be sure to watch your step!"
As a final reminder to Yang Yiyi, a red light suddenly emitted from the man's body, and his body cracked and exploded.
The heat wave spread, kicking up a lot of sand, and the air became extremely burning, mixed with the stench of flesh and blood.
The vines were afraid of high temperatures and flames, and were severely damaged by the man's self-destruction. They were torn apart and their bodies shriveled.
To be on the safe side, Yang Yiyi first tested it several times with the burning talisman. When she saw that the vines had no reaction at all, she felt relieved.
There were no broken limbs or arms around, they must have all been blown into powder.
But it's okay, there's no need to bury it.
Yang Yiyi didn't waste any time, and came to the diamond-shaped boulder in a few steps. She found that there was nothing behind the stone, only a deserted area. She couldn't help but frown, but she soon found clues on the stone.
Speaking of which, this stone is very strange. The explosion just now was quite powerful, and it was so long away from the stone, but it was actually unscathed.
There was a circle of irregular cracks on the back of the diamond-shaped stone, and the interior seemed to be hollow. Yang Yiyi took a few steps back, placed a blasting charm in the cracks, and moved her heart tentatively.
"Boom!"
With the sound of an explosion, a hole actually opened in the stone. It was dark inside and I don't know where it was connected.
Yang Yiyi took out the Zhaoshi, carefully observed it, and then jumped into the cave.
She didn't notice that not long after she entered the cave, a black shadow entered behind her.
