Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Zhao Guai's Trick

Seeing that it was a dead person, Wu Qi's first reaction was not to be afraid, so he hurried forward to take a closer look.At this moment, the light is still very dim, but the attire of this person can be seen clearly. It is the skeleton of a person who has been dead for many days. The whole body has been dry and rotted, and only black tight clothes are left covering a pair of white bones. Some unknown purple-red thin snake-shaped strange grass grew out of his chest, surrounding and wrapping the whole corpse tightly, like a mummy. Thanks to these things being tightly entwined, otherwise the corpse would have been so tightly wound. It fell from a high place, and it was broken into pieces.

Seeing that it wasn't Zhao Guai's corpse, Wu Qi heaved a sigh of relief. Probably Zhao Guai was messing with something on it and accidentally dropped the corpse. Why are there still these strange corpses on the demon tree?Wu Qi stepped back while thinking, really worried that another one would accidentally fall from above. After a while, a faint ray of light poured down from the densely branched treetops, flickering towards the surroundings, it was the light from the flashlight, Wu Qi raised his head, and saw Zhao Guai poking his head out from the branches and leaves, looking at him He kept gesticulating, and called softly: "Xiao Wu, you come up too!"

Wu Qi was taken aback when he heard it. Leaving aside the strange dangers on the tree, the height alone is frightening. He is also considered a frail scholar, holding either a pen or a needle with both hands. Climbing a tree is really difficult.Now that there are so many people with good skills, why do they have to ask themselves to do it? Could it be that Zhao Guai was accidentally poisoned on this tree? Everyone also knew that Zhao Guai was in trouble, so they kept urging Wu Qi to do what Zhao Guai wanted. Of course, they wouldn't worry that Zhao Guai and Wu Qi would take the opportunity to run away together unless there was a hot air balloon on the top of the tree or Helicopters, otherwise there is no possibility of them running away.

In desperation, Wu Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet. Although he was not good at it, he was young and strong. After trying a few times, he managed to climb to where Zhao Guai was, and when Zhao Guai stretched out his hand, he pulled him up a tree. When Branch sat down, he was out of breath and almost collapsed. Before he could catch his breath enough, Zhao Guai scanned the surrounding area with a flashlight, and said softly to Wu Qi: "Further up is the lair of those golden ghosts, let's be quieter, the guy who fell just now was hit by the trick earlier. Unlucky bastard!"

Wu Qi was confused and couldn't help asking: "What? You still have to go up? You told me what you came up for, why did you still call me?" "What are you doing? Of course I ran away. I spent so much effort to fool the gang of bastards in this ghost place. You thought I was coming up with you to enjoy the cool! Follow me!" The trunk continued to climb. Running away?How to run, is there really a hot air balloon on it?How is this possible!Wu Qi was very puzzled, but seeing Zhao Guai's confident appearance, he couldn't refuse him. After all, this old fox has been around for many years and eats more salt than he eats rice.

The branches and leaves are airtight, and with every step they crawl, they are tightly squeezed by countless branches and leaves, and the surroundings are filled with a smell like that from a methane pool where decayed matter is accumulated. Although it is not smelly, it is a bit choking. , smelling too much makes people feel dizzy.This place with dense branches and leaves is precisely the place where poisonous insects and snakes like to gather. The leaves of the demon locust tree rub against the face, which feels cold and itchy, as if countless four-legged snakes are licking their faces with their tongues out. , Indescribably aggrieved and uncomfortable.

Zhao Guai's movements were very nimble. He brandished his saber and opened up a passage for one person to pass along. Moving forward, he arrived at a relatively open area. The two climbed up, and Wu Qi I was surprised again when I saw it. Where it is now, there are no longer fine and dense branches and leaves. Instead, there are thick blood-red branches. They are interlaced and twisted, forming an egg-shaped inner room, which is five or six square meters in size.And those branches are like thick arms, holding each other tightly, and there are countless small snake-like side branches growing from the branches, tightly wrapped in black objects, which are clearly a body. The corpses were arranged in a circle around the entire egg chamber.One of those corpses was missing, and the red snake-like vines that restrained it were cut off, and at this moment, bright red blood was dripping down drop by drop!

"What do you want to do? How to escape?" Wu Qi asked directly. Zhao Guai made a soft gesture, and pointed to the place where the corpse was missing. A hole the size of a washbasin had been cut there, and gusts of night wind blew in. Beehives can be seen hanging outside. Zhao Guai said: "I threw this corpse down to test it out. After a while, we see the right moment and jump down from here to run away!" "What what? Jump down?" Wu Qi still couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the old guy was selling in the gourd, and he didn't have time to guess his thoughts with him right now, so he said bluntly: "You've been working hard just to do this trick? What do you think?" Be specific!"

Zhao Guai said: "Didn't you pay attention? This weird place is surrounded by gold ghosts' dens. If I go down casually, those people will definitely suffer!" He sneered while talking, his eyes flickered After a bit of murderous intent. "This is the only chance, you and I jumped down at the right time, we must not miss it!" His expression was serious, and he had clearly made up his mind not to give Wu Qi any chance to refuse. Wu Qi naturally disagreed. Even if this method was foolproof, it would cost more than a dozen lives, which he could not accept.What's more, at the height they are at now, if they jump down and die, they will lose their arms and legs, so there is no room for them to run.

Zhao Guai had a firm idea, and he was ready to do it immediately, but Wu Qi kept disapproving, which annoyed Zhao Guai, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "Stinky boy, don't play tricks on women. Yurou, these people don’t know why, but are you willing to imprison you for the rest of your life? Let’s mess up their position first, whether we can survive or not depends on their luck! You kid, show some of Wu San’s ruthlessness back then Bar." Wu Qi thought that the third uncle had killed someone, but the one who killed was a little devil, a dog, and a traitor. It was different from your interest. Du Fan was just stung by that strange bee, and he became what he is now. Going down, I'm afraid that the strange bees in the whole tree will be stimulated, and there will be no fish that slip through the net by then!

"Damn it! Don't get in your way, kid!" Zhao Guai said angrily, and was about to cut off the hive. Wu Qi was shocked when he saw this, and was about to stop when suddenly the egg chamber vibrated twice. There was an eerie commotion overhead. Shocked, Zhao Guai also stopped his hand abruptly, and the light of the flashlight quickly swept upwards, and suddenly saw a black shadow flashing between the blood-red branches, and then looked at When it got to the top, it sank down suddenly, as if something stepped on it. "There is a situation!" Zhao Guai was startled, and immediately raised his saber, and slashed at the sunken thick vine, immediately blood splashed everywhere, and bright red blood spurted out like a spring.Then, a strange blood-red hand suddenly stretched out from the gap between the thick vines, and firmly grasped the wrist of Zhao Guai's hand holding the saber. The arm of this bloody hand looks very slender, it is only as thick as a rolling pin, with five fingers as long as it is long, it bends freely like a small snake, it is very weird.Although the strange hand was small, the strength of the five fingers was extremely strong. Zhao Guai was bound tightly by this blow, unable to move at all.Wu Qi was shocked when he saw this, and was about to step forward to help, but he saw strange hands sticking out from the vine cracks again. After a while, the whole vine cracks seemed to be covered with snakes, and more and more strange hands were coming at any time. It is possible to drill out of it. "You can't touch this thing!" Zhao Guai glared at Wu Qi and shouted loudly.This Zhao Guai can be regarded as a character, seeing his right hand being captured, immediately took the saber with his left hand, and slashed at the strange hand.When the knife went down, the strange hand trembled violently, spurting out a stream of red blood, and the palm and arm were separated.Zhao Guai turned around again, stretched out his hand and swung the knife to cut off two branches that bound the beehives, and the two beehives the size of stoves fell straight down. "Let's go!" Zhao Guai turned around again and greeted Wu Qi. The two quickly went down to the previous position along the passage they had opened up before. They poked their heads out to see the reaction below, and then prepared to jump off. As soon as they stretched out their heads, they were startled and puzzled again. The two beehives fell from the branches nearly 20 meters from the ground, but there was no reaction at all. Yes, it was the terrified villagers clearly visible under the tree. They were staring wide-eyed, looking at the top of the tree in horror, and retreating while watching. The surrounding brightness suddenly became much stronger, the entire dead area was illuminated brightly, and the scene under the tree had a panoramic view.Before Wu Qi understood what was going on, he suddenly felt a burnt smell coming to his nostrils. He coughed twice, feeling bad, the top of the tree was actually on fire!
