I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 340 Into the Mist
Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest.

"why you?"

After seeing Ren Yao, Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the grass behind him, fearing that there would be other disobedient members following him.

Ren Yao brushed off the dust on his body, and calmly said, "Don't look for it, I'm the only one."

"Why are you acting alone, kid? It's not like you don't know how dangerous this forest is." Ling Yun was a little helpless: "I thought Brother Shen would take care of you for me."

Listening to Ling Yun's nagging, Ren Yao stubbornly turned his head aside with a very displeased expression: "He let me come."

Hearing this, Ling Yun had mixed feelings in his heart.

In fact, when he saw Ren Yao, he already thought that the other party's behavior was approved by Shen Tinglan.Shen Tinglan was also very tangled, he couldn't escape due to his identity as the captain, but he couldn't worry about his own side, so he acquiesced to let Ren Yao come to support him.

After all, Ren Yao had previously cleared similar game scenarios on his own, and had a wealth of experience in wilderness survival, making him the most seasoned among the crowd.

"You guys, it's really..." Ling Yun looked at Ren Yao with a sad face, and finally swallowed back what he wanted to say.

"Brother Ling, you seem like an old father who has broken his heart." Tang Yao looked at the awkward couple and laughed out loud first.

In fact, it is true to say so.

Ling Yun glanced at the awkward Ren Yao, feeling helpless and funny in his heart.

The mountain road was difficult to walk at night, and Ren Yao was eager to chase after people. His clothes and pants were covered with mud, and his palms and cheeks were also scratched to varying degrees.At this moment, the broken hair on his forehead and temples was mixed with dust and wet with sweat, his face was dirty, and his embarrassed appearance was completely different from usual.

Ling Yun sighed silently, stepped forward, took Ren Yao's hand, and looked at it carefully: "I have medicine here, let's disinfect it first."

Seeing his concerned face, Ren Yao's expression softened a lot: "It's okay, just a little scratch."

He raised his eyelids and quietly looked at Ling Yun.After confirming that the other party had dissipated, Ren Yao murmured softly: "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

Ling Yun returned to his usual expression, and wiped off the dirt on his face with a smile: "Well, we still have a lot of biscuits here. But it's getting late, so you should just take a few bites first, and there are more important things We are waiting urgently."

Ren Yao was also smart, he quickly glanced at the devices scattered on the ground, and understood Ling Yun's plan.

After fixing the device, the three used the pulley block to successfully transport Wei Chongming up the tree, and then climbed up the tree with the bag on their backs.

Before I knew it, snowflakes fell from the sky.

Ling Yun tied the unconscious Wei Chongming to himself with a climbing rope.On the branch above his head, Tang Yao and Ren Yao also found a location, and the three of them used the flashlight to determine the direction of their companions, and used the lights to send messages to each other.

Large flakes of snow fell rustlingly, swaying on the tops of the tall trees, making a slow, slow rustling sound.

Time passed in silence, half an hour passed, and the flames under the tree became weaker and weaker.With the last trace of sparks annihilated in the ashes, the entire forest was completely plunged into darkness.

The heavy dark clouds dispersed, and a bright red moonlight shone on Ling Yun's shoulder through the gaps in the leaves.

The red moon appeared!
Ling Yun sent a signal to the other two to remind them to pay attention to safety; Tang Yao and Ren Yao who received the instruction turned off their flashlights and hid their figures in the darkness.

Ling Yun held Wei Chongming in his arms and held his breath.

The next second, he noticed a scalp-numbing sticky sound coming from all directions, which was the sign of the blood tide.

boom--

Ling Yun felt that the branches under his feet began to tremble violently, and at the moment when the bloody breath filled the air, there were bursts of strange loud noises from under the human face tree.

The tree body shook, and the three people on the tree quickly pressed their bodies against the tree trunk.

The surrounding leaves swished down, and even the soil below continued to tremble like an earthquake.Accompanied by a loud noise, countless python-like thick tree roots rose from the ground, like spider limbs sprouting segments, entrenched on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the human face tree also became like some kind of huge reptile, and suddenly began to move at high speed.

There was a huge sound of falling leaves and the sound of branches breaking. The branches of the human face tree kept rubbing against the surrounding trees while walking. to prevent them from stabbing themselves and their companions.

The cold mountain wind was blowing in, and the air was also mixed with a strong smell of blood and weird creaking sounds.

Ren Yao squinted his eyes and looked down, only to find that where the human face tree passed, the blood tide and those mutated creatures had become prey.The tree roots are like living tentacles, constantly tracking the blood tide, and then sucking in all the violently crushed corpses.

Ling Yun and Tang Yao could also see this scene clearly.

Ling Yun himself didn't even think that the blood tide they couldn't deal with was actually the target of the Human Face Tree.These seemingly harmless trees are at the top of the food chain in the forest.

Now, the few of them hiding in the trees are the safest, and they don't have to worry about ghost attacks because they are bathed in the blood moon.

The running Human Face Tree was completely focused on sucking the corpses of the blood wave, and did not notice the existence of Ling Yun and others at all.As a result, the hearts of the three gradually relaxed.

After an unknown amount of time, an area shrouded in thick fog suddenly appeared in front of him.Different from the fog in the forest before, what is in front of me is a very strange scene: the thick and chaotic fog flows slowly, so thick that it is impossible to see clearly what is inside.This cloud of fog is like a natural barrier, forming a clear boundary with the surrounding forest.

In the center of the mist, a strange red light shot straight into the sky, as if echoing the blood moon hanging in the sky.

The Human Face Tree was moving extremely fast, and Ling Yun secretly estimated the speed and time. At this time, it was more than a hundred kilometers away from their starting point. If Shen Tinglan and others came here on foot, it would take two days at the fastest.

As the Human Face Tree approached, Ling Yun only felt a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow hit his face.In the mist, there seemed to be countless pairs of cold eyes staring at him.

The heart of the tree... finally arrived.

At this moment, the human face tree seemed to be summoned by some kind of call, and its speed increased sharply, approaching the high-speed train.

The bitter cold wind made Ling Yun almost unable to open his eyes. While protecting Wei Chongming, he loudly reminded the other two: "Be careful! We are going in."

Ling Yun vaguely heard the two responding, and the moment he entered the mist, the whistling sound in his ears was submerged in gray and white.

He couldn't see anything in the thick fog, and the whistling wind in his ears made it impossible for him to confirm the situation of his companions above.

Hatred, resentment, yearning, unwillingness... At the same time as he entered the foggy area, a lot of negative emotions suddenly surged in Ling Yun's heart.

These evil thoughts seemed to permeate into every pore of him along with the thick fog, and traveled through the whole body along the blood, hitting him like a tide.

For a moment, cold sweat drenched his back, Ling Yun only felt that his chest was so congested that it was about to explode.The heart was in pain as if being burned by a raging fire, but the body was as stiff as falling into an ice cave and could hardly move.

Ling Yun only felt that his brain was buzzing, and the severe pain from his heart continued to spread along his limbs, making him wish he could die immediately.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear the cries of many people from all directions: there were men and women, their voices were shrill and hoarse.

Ling Yun endured the pain and raised his head, but saw black shadows hanging in the surrounding woods, which were almost countless corpses.

The black figure was surrounded by vines, and as the wind continued to sway, the crying became more and more miserable.

Chuochuo's ghostly figures floated in mid-air, with rotten and ferocious faces piercing through the thick fog, roaring and swooping towards Ling Yun's direction, and were soon torn apart by the manic branches of the Human Face Tree.

The vines covered with thorns ripped apart Ling Yun's skin, and soon, the thick protective clothing on his body became dilapidated, and Ling Yun's whole body was almost soaked in blood.

In severe pain, Ling Yun used his last strength to hold Wei Chongming firmly in his arms, and used his body to block the attack from the outside world.He gritted his teeth and strengthened the climbing rope around Wei Chongming's waist and the device on his body again.

After confirming, Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know if Tang Yao and Ren Yao are safe, they should be able to protect themselves.

Thinking in a daze, Ling Yun felt that the pain in his chest became more and more severe, and his heart seemed to be held by an invisible hand, almost crushed and crushed.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsssesses.

The climbing rope tied to the tree trunk was already broken, and with the violent shaking, the rope snapped—Ling Yun suddenly lost weight, and under the screams of the carrion corpses, he and Wei Chongming both fell into the depths of the mist...
