The vermilion wooden door has obviously been baptized by the years. Large chunks of red paint have peeled off, and the entire door panel is mottled, resembling splattered blood.
Bai Mo took a few steps forward and pointed the camera at the door directly in front of him.
Before opening the door, he couldn't help but turn around and glance at the strong man named Wu Qing. An absurd idea came to his mind for no reason, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Why do I have a close connection with this guy? I can even guess what he means when he raises his eyebrows. It's strange..."
He turned back frequently, recalling the previous scene and getting goosebumps.
Seeing this, Wu Qing's face darkened slightly, thinking that the boy was unwilling to explore the way, so he touched the tattoo on his neck and smiled coldly, with a threatening tone evident in his words.
Bai Mo couldn't understand what he meant. He put aside those messy thoughts and repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem with his sexual orientation. He took a deep breath and pushed hard towards the door.
"Crunch——"
The courtyard door was far more fragile than everyone imagined, and it let out a painful wail. The door seemed to be about to crack at any moment, and thick dust blew into the face, blurring the camera lens.
Bai Mo's vision went dark, and he quickly lowered his head to wipe the camera, so he didn't notice the strange scene in the courtyard.
He didn't see it, but the others saw it clearly, and their expressions changed drastically.
Especially He Lanlan, if it weren't for the gag talisman to suppress her, she would have almost screamed!
There were no houses in the courtyard, only an abandoned deep well, and a large pile of mutilated corpses piled in the corner. The corpses had a ferocious expression, and most of their bones had melted, as if they had melted into the soil.
There are several tall and strong fruit trees growing in the courtyard, with many branches and thick stems sticking out of the soil, like densely packed dark blood vessels. They clearly belong to different varieties, but the roots and stems are intertwined with each other, almost connected into a ball.
The branches were stained with rotten and blackened meat, the branches and leaves were too lush, and black hairs were faintly visible hanging upside down. Among the emerald green canopy, several pale dead faces were looming.
Everyone could see clearly that there were several human heads hanging upside down on the tree!
All the dead had empty eyes, mouths wide open, no tongues in their mouths, and only black holes in their throats could be seen.
The blood flowed down the trunk, and most of it had dried up, clinging to the trunk like bloody lines.
What's strange is that some of the heads are not hanging upside down on the trees, but seem to be completely integrated into the tree trunks. The pain on their faces is so shocking that once you take a look at them, you can't bear to look at them again.
It seems that these people are not completely dead yet... they are still suffering torture even to the day of their death!
Wu Qing's expression changed slightly. He had never seen such a strange scene before. The tattoo on his neck was so hot that it glowed with a dazzling red light. A fierceness suddenly burst out, as if something was trying to escape from his body.
Jump out of the skin.
"It seems that we can't do anything if we don't take action."
As he thought this, the white tiger on his body was about to move, but before he could make any move, a sudden change occurred in the yard.
Several blue hands suddenly stretched out from the dark soil, dragging all the corpses in the corner into the soil, not forgetting to compact the soil before retracting.
The branches and leaves squirmed, and all the dead heads on the tree were hidden, as if they had never appeared before. A tongue tens of meters long suddenly popped out of the deep well, like countless human tongues connected by black lines.
The long tongue is like a pink snake, extremely flexible, licking the tree trunk in a circle with lightning speed, and then quickly retracting into the well.
All the blood clots and pieces of flesh on the tree trunk were swallowed up, and the previous Shura purgatory-like scene seemed like an illusion.
This place seems to have turned into an ordinary run-down courtyard.
The corners of Wu Qing's mouth twitched, and for the first time, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
What's going on?
No, even if you want to hide and scare us, hiding in front of us... isn't it too late?
The tattoos on his body are still hot, reminding him that the malice from the monsters in the restricted area has not disappeared.
All this happened in a flash of lightning, and Bai Mo just wiped the lens clean.
Hearing the movement behind him, he looked back suspiciously and saw that everyone's expressions were not very good, especially that He Lanlan, who looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Mo Qingcheng was okay, but her face was also pale, and she was quite frightened at first sight.
"What's wrong?"
He spoke in confusion and quickly turned his head to look at the small courtyard. At this time, his tongue just retracted into the well.
He was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and it took him a while before he spoke excitedly.
"These trees are so strange, the roots are all connected together... so interesting!"
Bai Mo had never seen such a tree before, and he was inexplicably excited for a moment. He quickly used a camera to take pictures of everything in the courtyard, secretly praising the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.
He licked his lips and couldn't understand why other people were so scared... It was just a few trees and there were no dead people, so what was there to be afraid of?
Looking back again, I saw that the expressions of the people behind him were extremely exciting, and Bai Mo looked confused... Could it be that what we saw was different?
He didn't know why, so he thought about it and turned to look at the small courtyard again.
"Huh? Did fruit just grow on the tree..."
He Lanlan and others were completely dumbfounded. Their mouths were so big that they almost didn't let the talisman fall out.
Just when Bai Mo turned around to look at them, another change occurred.
In the small courtyard, a wrinkled old woman's face suddenly emerged from a leafy fruit tree. She hung a few apple-looking fruits on the tree furtively, and then quickly retracted into the crown of the tree.
"What is this..."
He Lanlan's expression changed drastically. What was happening in front of her was so weird that she almost lost her ability to think.
The most terrifying restricted area she had been to before was the D-level restricted area. She thought she was mentally prepared to face the C-level restricted area, but now it seems that she still underestimated the horror of Buyu Village.
Must evacuate immediately!
But her wealth and life were all under the control of Wu Qing at this time, and Wu Qing obviously had no intention of leaving just now. He stared at the fruits on the tree again and again, appearing calm on the surface, but his heart was beating wildly.
This thing... is actually this thing!
Not to mention the other people present, perhaps few people in the entire safe zone know the uses of this fruit.
Its function is actually very simple, but telling it will definitely make countless people flock to it——
Prolong life!
Even today, with the development of genetic medicines, human beings still cannot get rid of the shackles of life span. They can only live to be more than 150 years old at most, and the average life span is about 80 years old.
Of course, there are not many people who can naturally live to the age of death. Even if most monsters can only survive in restricted areas, safe areas do not mean absolute safety.
Few people know that the stone tablet in the restricted area is not just as simple as recording the name and danger level of the restricted area. It actually hides a lot of useful information, but it is difficult to dig out.
And Wu Qing happened to know some methods of interpreting stone tablets. Including the information about the fruit on the tree, he had obtained it from the stone tablets before.
Increase lifespan by hundreds of years, this is the function of this fruit called longevity fruit.
As the name suggests, the cultivation of longevity fruit requires artificial fertilizers. Hundreds of people must die in order to exchange for one person's life span of a hundred years. It can be called a cruel "luxury".
Fortunately, the cultivation method of this kind of fruit is not well known, otherwise Wu Qing dares to guarantee that once this thing spreads, in less than half a month, the safe zone will never be as crowded as it is now.
But……
He looked hesitant.
The monster in Buyu Village hung longevity fruits on the tree in front of me... Are they planning to catch me openly?
