Chapter 321 The Burned Ancient Tree

Seeing the black dust on the ground, Chen Ziyou's first thought was that the team might have approached the burnt ancient tree. At this moment, he bent down and looked at the soles of his shoes.

Chen Ziyang saw that his soles had been covered with a thin layer of black ash since he didn't know when, so he turned his head and looked, and there was also some black ash vaguely on the road he walked before. But because the amount of these black ash is relatively small, no one noticed it before.

Instructor Liu, who noticed the dust, squatted down, dipped some of the black dust on the ground with his fingertips, held it in front of his eyes, pinched it with his fingers, took a look, and put it under his nose to smell it , Then he turned his head and said to the people behind: "This is plant ash. It should be left after the big tree was burned. The black ash floated here along this passage."

Yang Lei took a photo of the front of the passage with a flashlight. Although he could now see that the passage had a relatively large arc in front, the passage still had no end in sight.

"My darling, I don't know how long there is still a long way to go, but the ashes have already floated here. How big is this tree? It's too exaggerated that the ashes can float so far. Right!" Yang Lei said in surprise.

Hearing Yang Lei's words, Chen Ziyang glanced at Yang Lei. At this time, he realized that Yang Lei, a dead money fan, was still holding on to the jar in his hand. This made Chen Ziyang very angry. He just wanted to He wanted to open his mouth to scold Yang Lei, but at this moment, Chen Ziyang suddenly felt dark.

A feeling of deja vu struck again, Chen Ziyang felt that his eyes were open, but his eyes were pitch black. At this moment, suddenly, a huge blood-red eye appeared in Chen Ziyang's eyes. In the dark shady scene in front of Yang's eyes.

Because this scene happened so suddenly, Chen Ziyang broke out in a cold sweat instantly, and then the dark scene in front of him and the blood-red eye disappeared at the same time, and everything returned to normal.But at this moment, Chen Ziyang suddenly felt his heart beat faster, and the feeling that the eye that appeared before was calling him appeared again.

Yang Lei at the side noticed Chen Ziyang's strangeness, hurried over, and asked him concerned: "Er Yang, what's wrong with you? I saw you shivering just now, are you okay?"

Chen Ziyang, who was half squatting on the ground, covered his chest with his hands, felt the rapid beating of his heart, took a deep breath, and then said to Yang Lei: "It's okay, maybe it's because I haven't eaten well recently, and I have low blood sugar. Yeah, I just fainted."

"Hey, that's it. Look at you, poor thing. Isn't everything you eat in your bag? Take a biscuit and put it on the bar first. Don't starve yourself."

After nodding to Yang Lei, Chen Ziyang thought in his heart: "It should be almost there, this strange feeling of calling has become stronger and stronger."

The dark scene just now made Chen Ziyang feel as if he had returned to that strange dream. When the blood-red eyes stared at him, Chen Ziyang felt goose bumps all over his body instantly. This strong feeling of being called made him feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing what happened to Chen Ziyang, and the fact that everyone had been walking through this passage for a day, Instructor Liu asked everyone to rest in place after hesitating for a while. After all, they were about to reach that strange old tree. It is very necessary to save some energy now.

The night before, Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei took turns sleeping, so neither of them slept very well.Because of the unexpected situation just now, Chen Ziyang felt that his physical strength was drained in an instant, so he discussed with Yang Lei, hoping that he would rest first tonight, and let Yang Lei call him in the middle of the night. wake yourself up.Yang Lei also readily agreed.

Chen Ziyang didn't sleep well that night, and he didn't even know if he fell asleep, because Chen Ziyang felt that he was awake all night, but he also felt that he seemed to have done a lot. It was a dream, but when he opened his eyes, he couldn't remember any of the dreams.

Chen Ziyang, who wanted to take a rest instead of Yang Lei, looked at his watch. He realized that it was already morning. It turned out that Yang Lei hadn't woken him up, so he looked at Yang Lei who was beside him.

At this time, Yang Lei was sitting on the side with his big bloodshot eyes staring at him. Seeing that Chen Ziyang woke up, he took out two bags of biscuits from Chen Ziyang's backpack and gave him one bag.

"Why didn't you wake me up? Did you not sleep all night? Can you bear it?"

"You still have the nerve to say, do you know that you talked in your sleep last night and sweated all night, which really scared me so much that I thought you were sick."

At this time, Chen Ziyang realized that his shirt was already wet with sweat, and the wet shirt stuck to his body, making him very uncomfortable.

After wiping the sweat off his forehead, Chen Ziyang said, "I'm sorry to make you worry. I have nothing to do. It's just that I had a few dreams last night, and some of them didn't have a good rest."

"Er Yang, if it doesn't work, let's withdraw. I found that since you entered this passage, something is wrong. If you really have something wrong, I will have no face to go back."

Chen Ziyang really wanted to tell Yang Lei about the dream he entered before, the summoning of that blood-red eye, and his premonition about the withered left arm, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that Yang Lei was now Lei said that these things are useless, but will make him more worried.

"I really have nothing to do. Don't worry, it's because you have suffered so much, and you haven't slept all night."

"You made me almost cry. You don't need to be grateful to me. In fact, I didn't wake you up not for you, but for myself. I'm afraid these boys will take my golden belt buckle while I'm asleep. gone."

When Yang Lei said this, the two looked at each other and burst out laughing.

After breakfast, Instructor Liu couldn't wait to let the team move on. As everyone moved forward, there were more and more black ash on the ground, and even later, when everyone walked through this layer of black ash, they would be left behind. Clear footprints.

While walking on the road, Yang Lei looked at the plants on both sides that were as thick as a person and the thick layer of black ash on the ground, and said to Chen Ziyang, "Er Yang, do you think it's strange? The ash on the ground has already It’s so thick, which means that the ancient tree should have been almost burned, but why are the roots of these plants climbing on the passage intact?”

After listening to Yang Lei's words, Chen Ziyang felt something was wrong.Ever since he found out that Instructor Liu might be pretending to be a Dragon Digger, he had to think about so many things that he had to subconsciously move forward while walking along the road. It is not placed on the channel at all.

"There are too many things I have to worry about now, and I don't know why. There are too many weird things in this ancient Yumi country, and this one is not bad. When we finish this passage, You should be able to know it when you see that ancient tree."

"I said, don't think too much about it. Maybe it's all just a coincidence. Maybe this instructor Liu is really a member of the Dragon Digging Society, or maybe he and Xiao Na are deadly enemies at all, so this Xiao Na He hadn't told him about those things, which were all very possible.

Your main task now is to focus on this place, quickly end the affairs here, and see if the two of us can find a way to escape. "

After nodding his head, Chen Ziyang said: "You're right, if something really happens when we reach the end of the passage, you should seize the opportunity and run quickly.

I think Instructor Liu and the others will safely hand over the weapons to us because they are sure enough that we will not let us escape, so the only chance for us to escape is when there are other things that attract their attention.

You have to promise me that if such an opportunity really arises at that time, you must not bother me. If I can run with you, I will definitely follow you. If I can’t keep up, you must die. Running forward without turning back, we must stay as far away from here as possible.You must promise me! "

Seeing Chen Ziyang's serious eyes, Yang Lei reluctantly nodded.But Chen Ziyang could tell from his eyes that Yang Lei was trying to put himself off. If there was a chance for the two of them to escape, Yang Lei would never abandon him.

As the team moved forward, the arc of this passage became larger and larger. Now, with a flashlight shining forward, you can already see the passage's obvious bend at a distance of tens of meters ahead.

Moreover, the downward slope of this passage is already very obvious. Even if the ground is covered with a thick layer of black ash, it is still easy to see the downward slope of this passage. Chen Ziyang knew that This passage is coming to an end.

After walking for a while, Instructor Liu at the front of the team suddenly found that the flashlight in his hand was shining forward, and he could only see a piece of darkness. He knew that this meant that there was a huge space connected to the front of this passage.

After telling everyone about this and asking them to tidy up their belongings, Instructor Liu was the first to grope forward and get into this dark space, and the others followed one after another.

The five people's flashlights shone back and forth in this pitch-black space. They roughly saw the situation in front of them clearly, and at the same time, all of them opened their mouths wide in surprise.

They don't know exactly how big this space is, because the flashlight can't reach the end of the space at all. This kind of strong flashlight can clearly illuminate objects more than 100 meters away, which means that the scope of this space is definitely more than 100 meters away. They walked [-] meters, and at the end of the flashlights of everyone, there was a huge tree standing there.

Although it was expected by everyone to see this ancient tree, everyone was still shocked when faced with such a huge monster.

Just as everyone guessed, this big tree has been burnt to such an extent that almost all the branches of the big tree have been burned, and what stands in front of everyone's eyes is only half of the burned and carbonized pitch-black tree. .But the diameter of this half of the trunk has exceeded 40 meters, and the height is more than 50 meters. The trunk of the big tree is like a wall blocking everyone in front of them.

There is also a thick layer of black ash around the big tree, which is much more black ash than other places.Apart from these black ash, nothing else can be seen on the ground of the entire space.

Instructor Liu, who was standing at the front of the line, saw the big tree, and his breathing became short of breath instantly.After briefly looking at the surrounding environment, Instructor Liu walked towards the big tree in front of him.

At the same time when he saw the big tree, Chen Ziyang felt his eyes go dark again, and the blood-red eye appeared in his mind again, but this time, the blood-red eye didn't appear in an instant. Instead of passing away, it existed in Chen Ziyang's mind for a long time.This eye moved from side to side, as if to see Chen Ziyang in front of him more clearly.

Because he had already prepared himself mentally, Chen Ziyang was not frightened by this eye this time, but when he looked at this blood-red eye, he felt that his physical strength was instantly sucked away by this eye .At the moment when the blood-red eyes disappeared, Chen Ziyang fell to his knees powerlessly on the ground.

In just such a short period of time, a lot of sweat oozed from his forehead. When Chen Ziyang leaned on the ground, the sweat dripped from his forehead and onto the thick layer of sweat on the ground. On black and gray.

Yang Lei hurried over, dropped the clay pot in his hand, and helped Chen Ziyang up.

Chen Ziyang, who was completely exhausted, looked at Yang Lei and said, "My good fellow, it's been almost two days, and you finally threw away these broken cans in your hand. I thought in your heart, I was not even as good as these cans." Woolen cloth."

The blushing Yang Lei smiled embarrassingly, and said to Chen Ziyang: "You can still joke at this time, it seems that you have nothing serious." Although Yang Lei said so, he was still very worried, because Now Chen Ziyang's situation is really bad.

At this time, Chen Ziyang saw that instructor Liu had already quickly run between the big tree and the team.Because the layer of black ash on the ground was very thick, when Instructor Liu was running forward, his feet sank into the black ash. Every time he lifted his feet, he would bring up a large amount of black dust.

Because instructor Liu ran forward very fast, the black ash he brought up was particularly high and a lot.

After a while, a black fog wall formed by black smoke and dust appeared between Instructor Liu and the team, blocking everyone's sight. Instructor Liu had been engulfed by the black smoke and dust.
