Chapter 56 Chapter 56: The Wooden House

The higher the stump is, the more luxuriant its branches and leaves are, and with the endless parasitic plants, it looks even more gloomy. I spent a lot of effort and cut off some climbing vines with a dagger, and it was only five or six meters up the mountain. The top of the tall stump, but at this moment, I was tongue-tied, stunned by the sight in front of me, and could not speak for a long time. The top of the tree stump is not the top of the tree. There are countless branches and leaves on it, thick and full, and countless climbing plants are wrapped around it. And these plants are only attached to the side of the cliff. I can't describe it. What kind of combination is this?Anyway, on the cliff, some messy trees grow vertically and horizontally, announcing their unyielding existence to nature.

Of course, the magic of nature is beyond my comprehension—but what surprised me was that on the trunk of the big tree stump, surrounded by countless vines, there was a small wooden house, like a birdcage, hanging on top. I held up the flashlight and looked up, and I almost didn't groan when I looked at it. Among the dense vines, countless small wooden houses were hanging on it like this. What exactly does this do?This place has steep cliffs, and it's not easy to climb up, not to mention, who is hungry enough to hang this on a tree? I took a closer look with the flashlight. The wooden house is not big, and can accommodate a person in front of it, but it is definitely not a bird cage. This wooden house is used to raise birds, and it is really too big...

people? Could it be that—these wooden houses are actually filled with martyrs?When I thought about it, cold sweat burst out of my vest, the weird tree burial, the weird way of burial... I reached out and grabbed a vine, approached a small wooden house, and held up a flashlight to shine it. The wooden door was still closed on the top of the wooden house, revealing an indescribable weird feeling... Is it impossible for the people inside to come out?I handed over the flashlight to my left hand, and my left hand suffered serious injuries, which made me unable to hold the sword in my left hand. Originally, I had a left-handed sword, and there were always surprises, but under such circumstances, I thought— — What I have to deal with is definitely not a living person.

Where did Crazy Yuan go?I was thinking in my heart—and, why is that weird scent gone at this time?What about the medicine man? Could it be that Crazy Yuan lied to me, but what exactly did he lie to me? I thought about it for a while, and then I used my dagger to pick at the door of the cabin. It must have been a long time ago. When I picked the latch of the cabin lightly, it made a slight "click" sound and broke. open. Curious in my heart, I looked into the cabin. As I expected, there was a half-decomposed corpse in the cabin, probably because it was in the cabin. The corpse was a bit weird, and it seemed to be a little woody. It was in a semi-rotten state, with some green mold growing on it, and a stench came over us.

"Unlucky!" I cursed secretly in my heart, and wanted to find the whereabouts of the medicine man mentioned by Crazy Yuan again. But at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the corpse in the cabin stretched out a hand and grabbed it towards me——I stared dumbfounded, and for a moment I was completely stunned. evil Dead?It's not that I haven't seen it before, but it's so abrupt and weird... It's the first time I've seen it. It wasn't until the moment when the half-wooden hand, with a rotten stench, was about to pinch my throat, and under the instinct of survival, I finally recovered, and suddenly swung my sword across.

There was a "bang", although the short sword in my hand cut off the arm, but at the same time, there was an endless sound of "pata-pata-" in my ears, and I knew something was wrong in my heart. , turn around and run. It's just that it was too late. It seemed that at this moment, countless cabins were opened. Inside, those half-rotten and non-woody corpses seemed to come to life in an instant, and they kept approaching me along the vines. . I was busy swinging the dagger, and stabbed at one of the corpses. The dagger pierced into its sky cap almost unobstructed. Then, the half-wooden corpse seemed to lose its support in an instant. It fell down suddenly limply, and then rotted rapidly.

Sure enough, as I expected, these corpses were placed here artificially. Their main function is to scare people. They have a certain aggressiveness, but the effect is not great. Their weakness should be the Tianling cover. As long as it is not poisonous, I am not afraid!I swung my sword again and again, I didn't have any scruples about killing this thing, it was like cutting watermelon, anyway, they were just corpses, I don't know how many years they have been dead. As the dagger swept across, countless corpses around me fell down in just a few strokes. Once these corpses were destroyed, they would quickly rot and turn into dust.

It's just—there are more half-woody and half-rotten corpses on this big tree than I imagined. I'm going to get off my horse, God knows what weird things are hidden in the coffin of the big tree stump? But at this moment, I suddenly felt a rustle under my feet, as if something was about to come out. I looked down and was shocked. In the coffin of the big tree stump, there were countless densely covered coffins. Rotting tree leaves, and at this time, those tree leaves were pushed up by someone, a human head popped up slightly tremblingly. Haunted? I was drenched in cold sweat. I haven't figured out these woody corpses. Now, another one came out of the big coffin?But before I could finish my thought, under the beam of the flashlight, I could see clearly that the person emerging from the big coffin was not someone else, but the big bull who had turned into a half-beast.

"Da Niu?" I was startled, and when I was distracted, I almost let a semi-woody corpse choke my throat. I don't know why, the only instinct of these corpses is to choke people's throats. These lignified corpses cannot be allowed to strangle their throats, otherwise, the consequences will be worrisome. Or, I absolutely cannot allow these corpses to be contaminated with the blood of living people—if I guess correctly, these semi-woody corpses are preserved in a strange way, as long as they are contaminated with the blood of living people , these corpses will completely ossify and become real zombies, which is definitely not so easy to deal with.

I have some knowledge. Ordinary people have long been frightened when they see such a scene, and it is difficult not to panic. And Daniu seemed to have seen me, and he roared fiercely, and came directly towards me.I hurriedly retreated, to be honest, I am not afraid of these woody corpses, but I am very afraid of the big cow, he is so powerful that even the wolf was killed by him alive, and I was raised by my senior brother with poison. It's so poisonous, I absolutely can't let him bite it anymore. Probably because he disliked those corpses being in the way, Daniel tore them up one by one with each hand, and the rotten stench was tangy, but he didn't notice it.

Seeing that the situation was not good, I hurriedly grabbed a wisteria and quickly climbed up. Those semi-wooden corpses are useless to speak of reason. They are not just attacking me alone, but they are also besieging Daniel constantly. Daniel is much braver than me. When he encounters those monsters blocking his way, he grabs them directly. , was torn into two halves, and the rotten pieces of meat were scattered, revealing an unspeakable horror. I climbed all the way up, and Daniel chased after me without hesitation. I don't know why he chased me so hard? In order to prevent him from catching up, on my way, whenever I saw these cabins that hadn't been opened, I opened the door of the cabin with a dagger, and those half-rotten and half-woody corpses inside immediately rushed to the door. The big cow who just came over. Daniel was irritated and kept roaring... With a sound of "Pa-ta--", I opened the door of a wooden house with a short sword. Then, I turned around and grabbed the vines and was about to run, but to my surprise, this time the wooden house rolled and fell out. A woman in white... "Susu——" I just took a look. That white cheongsam is not exactly Susu's, but the long hair is spread out, and the black hair is like ink, floating down to the bottom. Damn it, Daniel actually hid her in this cabin?I didn't care about what to think, and with a flick of the vine in my hand, I entangled Susu. But at this time, Daniel had already chased him up, my heart sank, and I swung my short sword, and stabbed down fiercely at Daniel's throat. Suddenly, my arm was in severe pain, and I almost couldn't even hold the dagger. I was taken aback, but the big cow roared and grabbed the dagger in my hand fiercely. I quickly backed up, grabbed the vine and swung it away, and at the same time hooked the vine firmly with my toes to prevent it from falling, but the end of the vine was entangled with Susu, and under the strain, it was about to break with a "pop" . I was busy clinging to the tree trunk next to me, and at the same time desperately wanted to pull Susu up.It seems that something has crawled up my back... "Mr. Ximen, be careful, that's a tree ant!" Suddenly, Crazy Yuan, who had disappeared just now, appeared from nowhere and shouted loudly. How can I care about tree ants and locusts?Desperately holding on to the vine that was entangled with Susu, I felt rustling on my back and body, as if there were countless things crawling, and at the same time, there were bursts of itching... I finally pulled Susu up and hugged her, but I felt that her whole body was cold, her eyes were closed tightly, and the once beautiful pupils no longer had any brilliance. "Susu——" I didn't care about Daniel, and I didn't think about tree ants. Enduring the pain and itching all over my body, I stared at Susu... Susu actually died, just like that? I started shaking even my fingers, why is this, why?Why did Daniel bring Susu out, how did Susu die, and why did he hide her in the cabin here?Where is my brother? Countless question marks came to my mind, but more of them were heartaches. In a trance, I seemed to feel hot liquid slipping from my eye sockets. Why did it happen?
