The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 107 One step away

Cheng Xin's words did not arouse everyone's surprise, but the atmosphere became more solemn.

I don’t know what other people think. As someone who has been to Gujia Village once, Gao Yang knows very well that the appearance of rune circuits also means the coming of danger.

"Where?" Douhu asked in a deep voice.

"There!" Cheng Xin pointed excitedly at the giant glowing tree, "There is a hole in the tree, yes, in the tree hole!"

Lao Wang's face was full of distrust, "Why don't you go in and get it?"

This is exactly what Gao Yang wanted to ask.

"I went in. We went in immediately, but we were attacked... He died, everyone died, and I almost died..."

Suddenly, Cheng Xin's face showed fear, his pupils dilated, he held his head with both hands and groaned in pain: "Ah, ah ah..."

"Cheng Xin!" Lao Wang grabbed Cheng Xin's shoulders, "What the hell are you doing? Tell me clearly!"

"It hurts, my head hurts so much..."

"What attacked you?" Douhu asked.

"I don't know, I don't know..." Cheng Xin shook his head desperately, and his mind became confused: "No, don't kill me! Ah... help..."

Cheng Xin's words were incoherent, and for a moment no one could tell whether he was really overstimulated or if he was pretending to be crazy.

"Leave him alone, let's go directly to see him." Officer Huang was slightly worried, "It's best not to stay in this place for too long, it doesn't feel good."

"Agreed." White Rabbit said.

Qing Ling and Gao Yang also nodded.

Douhu waved his hand: "Let's go."

Everyone walked towards the giant tree. Lao Wang supported Cheng Xin and kept asking for details along the way, but Cheng Xin was talking nonsense and thinking in confusion, and couldn't get any information out of it.

A few minutes later, the seven people arrived at the foot of the giant tree.

Only when you really stand in front of it can you feel its magnificence even more.Seven people holding hands and forming a circle could probably not even wrap their arms around half of the tree trunk.

Everyone circled the tree trunk, their faces and bodies bathed in the sacred white light, and they felt a slight and strange trance.

Gao Yang thought of a somewhat pretentious word: as if it were a world away.

A few people walked around twice and found nothing unusual.

Douhu looked at Cheng Xin dissatisfied: "Where is the hole you mentioned?"

"It's right here, it was here just now..." Cheng Xin was also confused. He suddenly held his head again and howled in pain: "It's coming, it's coming! Save me, save me quickly..."

Suddenly, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and the white light in the tree trunks flickered at high frequency.

Everyone was forced to close their eyes, and it took more than ten seconds for the flash to stop.

I don’t know when ancient lines appeared on the pale tree trunks, but they were so familiar.

Gao Yang reacted immediately:

Rune circuit!That's right, it's the same style as the texture on it.

"Grumble rumble."

The tree trunk flows, deforms, and tears along the lines, and finally reveals a strange and long gap, as if some kind of creature is giving birth. It is completely white inside and nothing can be seen.

"Hole! Hole! It appears! It appears..." Cheng Xin danced excitedly, almost like a fool.

"Cheng Xin, is there any danger inside?" Gao Yang asked Cheng Xin. He was more concerned about this than the rune circuit.

"Danger, danger, danger..." Cheng Xin began to repeat, shaking his head.

"This idiot." Douhu sighed and looked at everyone, "I'll go in and take a look first."

"no!"

Bai Tu stopped Dou Hu, with a serious expression like an elder: "I know you are strong, but there is no need to take this risk."

White Rabbit looked at Cheng Xin: "Throw this person in first."

"No! I don't want it..." Cheng Xin pushed Lao Wang away excitedly, fell to the ground, and rolled back.

Obviously, there are dangers in the tree hole, at least not ones that Cheng Xin can handle.Everyone fell into silence.

Runes are valuable, and life is even more valuable.

But since we are trapped in the rune cave, there is a high probability that we will not be able to get out unless we find the runes. Everyone will have to face it sooner or later.

Gao Yang regretted for a moment. If he had not used [Lie Detector] on Lao Wang, he could now give Cheng Xin a lie detector to determine how dangerous it was.

"It's not an option to continue like this, I'll do it."

Lao Wang gritted his teeth and walked towards the tree hole.

"Old Wang!" Officer Huang called to him, "You still have family, there is no need to take this risk."

"I know." Lao Wang smiled bitterly: "But if we continue to waste it, everyone will be in danger."

Lao Wang looked ashamed and his eyes were sad, "Cheng Xin insisted on getting on the subway at that time. I failed to dissuade him. I am also responsible. Everyone died, and I had to do something to prevent their sacrifices from being in vain."

"But……"

"Old Huang, thank you for your kindness."

Lao Wang has made up his mind, with a determined look on his face: "I have the highest defense here and am suitable for exploring the path."

Officer Huang wanted to say something else, but Bai Rabbit gave him a look and stopped trying to persuade him.

When Lao Wang came to the tree hole, his whole body was almost engulfed by white light.

Before entering, he turned to look at everyone: "I will activate [Iron Man] as soon as I enter. Please make sure it is safe before you come in."

"Be careful." Gao Yang was a little worried.

"Don't worry, I'm very tough." Lao Wang grinned, gave a thumbs up, and plunged into the tree hole.

Everyone was tense, waiting for what was about to happen.

Unexpectedly, in less than two seconds, Lao Wang walked out of the glowing tree hole.

Everyone was stunned: No, this is too fast, right?
Officer Huang was a little surprised, "Old Wang, why did you come out?"

"Just?" Lao Wang looked puzzled and then reacted: "How long have you been outside?"

"Two seconds." Gao Yang answered truthfully.

"Impossible!" Lao Wang looked shocked, "I stayed in there for at least 5 minutes!"

"What's inside? Have you found the rune circuit?" Douhu asked.

Lao Wang shook his head in disappointment: "There's nothing in it."

"Nothing?" White Rabbit didn't quite understand.

"Just nothing."

Lao Wang smacked his lips and said: "How can I describe it? It's just a void, no sky, no earth, and everything is white. To be on the safe side, I still activated the [Iron Man]. My body fell down and floated up, just like this. After a few minutes, a floating hole of light finally appeared in front of my eyes. I reached out and touched it, and then I walked out and saw you."

Officer Huang breathed a sigh of relief: "No matter what, you'll be fine."

"Are you sure you didn't see the rune circuit?" White Rabbit was dubious.

"I really didn't see it." Lao Wang was a little angry: "Cheng Xin must have lied to us!"

"He's gone!" Gao Yang suddenly realized.

Everyone turned around, and Cheng Xin, who was still behind everyone, was really gone.

"He's in the tree!" Qing Ling discovered it first.

Gao Yang looked up and saw Cheng Xin climbing up the huge tree trunk, at least 50 meters away from everyone.

Qing Ling waved his hand, and the Tang Dao in his hand flew towards Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin was not crazy at all. He sidestepped, stepped on the Tang knife inserted into the tree trunk, jumped up hard, climbed up a thick side branch, and disappeared.

"Cheng Xin! You bastard!" Lao Wang stomped his feet angrily, "Don't let him get away!"
