Chapter 76 Tree full of dead bodies
If this corpse doesn't stay in the sea of corpses in the valley, and stays with its kind, why are people hanging here?
Could it be that any adventurer who passed by here, with a huge artistic cell, lifted a corpse from the Corpse Valley and hung it on the branch?
Then this guy's heart is really big.
Except for a few pieces of dried meat that had grown black hair, Lu Lie was unable to find anything from the male corpse. He walked around behind the male corpse and wanted to remove him from the branch.
There is a custom of the deceased in Lu Lie’s hometown. Although it is impossible to help him dig a pit here, how many corpses are there in the valley? Let’s bury them one by one. At least the only thing Lu Lie can do is to put him down, and it’s not a big deal to keep swaying on it.
But he pulled it slightly, but he thoughtfully stopped slowly.
Lu Lie ripped off the wood on the back of the male corpse and was surprised to find that the top of the branch had already merged with the back of the male corpse. Wood is wood, meat is meat, and meat and wood are me and I have you.
This male corpse...is like a product that is tied on a tree.
Lu Lie only heard that there are those who make apples and peaches on the trees. There are skilled secret masters who can use secret techniques to make watermelons, potatoes and rice on the trees. But a corpse is born on the trees? He never dreamed of such a ridiculous thing.
What is the principle of this?
Lu Lie thought for a while, stretched out his hand, and broke the branch connecting the male corpse with force.
With a heavy click, the touch of twisting the branches was like twisting the ribs of a human. The male corpse fell straight to the ground without saying a word. A wound broke on his back where the branches were originally connected. After a while, blood flowed like a stream, and a strange bright red flowed all over the earth.
Lu Lie was a little confused: Why, you have been dead here for so long and it’s okay if you haven’t rotten, but you can still bleed?
This is going to become a demon.
He raised his head and a gust of mountain wind blew across the huge cave. There were rustling in the distance, and countless corpses hung on the mountain walls connected to branches, dancing for a moment.
This...what the hell is this?
If that tree here can really make human corpses on the branches?
An instinctive chill rushed towards Lu Lie's back, and there was no reason. He took two steps back, not even the bones and crutches in his hand. He threw them away and ran back to the bottom of the valley.
"Accompany me..."
"Stay with me... Stay with me..."
"We are lonely... Stay here... Please... accompany us forever..."
Those terrifying demon sounded again, and countless branches with corpses were twisted, as if they were human arms, stretched over to block Lu Lie's way.
"I'll accompany you grandma!"
Lu Lie opened his mouth and spit out a fireball. The fireball fell on a branch closest to him. The branches twitched in pain, constantly slapped the mountain wall, as if humans were rolling in place in pain.
Two more branches handed the corpses they hung on to Lu Lie. The corpse spread its arms as if welcoming Lu Lie to join.
"Come on... Join us... strange travelers..."
"Join us... Join us... Join us..."
Lu Lie tried to spit out another fireball, but when he exerted force, not only did he not emit any flames, but he felt that his eyes were dark and he was about to fall to the ground.
His physical condition no longer allows him to use the power of Shikigami.
Several branches slapped over, and the strange power was amazing. It was like a huge wave overturning a shell, knocking Lu Lie to the mountain wall.
His stomach was turbulent, and he felt so nauseous that he wanted to vomit. But everything in front of him darkened uncontrollably, and the whole world rolled in Lu Lie's mind.
"Am I going to die?"
This is the only thought in Lu Lie's mind.
More and more branches surrounded him, like a pack of wolves smelling blood, or like a carnival. Lu Lie has always been brave. Even in this desperate situation, he still tried hard to stand up from the ground, holding a long machete, and trying to repel the next branch sweep.
"What the hell is this...the hell?"
Lu Lie began to stagger, and even standing like this had exhausted his full strength.
Next time, as long as the surrounding branches look at them, they will completely defeat him.
Countless branches surrounded Lu Lie's all directions and danced around, like vultures flying above the heads of a dying person.
"Wait a minute. You guys retreat first."
Suddenly, an old female voice spoke slowly in this empty mountain cave.
The dancing branches seemed to hear a silent command and immediately shrank back from all directions. They swayed on the mountain walls, motionless, and returned to their normal appearance.
Lu Lie used his leg bones to support his bruised body. He tried hard to raise his head, trying to identify where the voice that saved him came from.
"I'm in the depths of the cave." The old female voice seemed to be able to see Lu Lie looking for him, and instructed him, "Come in a little more."
Lu Lie secretly bit his teeth that were bleeding. According to his intuition, the female voice stopped the commotion of countless strange branches, which was probably a bit strange. But now he is seriously injured. If he chooses to turn around and run back to the valley, he will be easily caught by those strange branches if he can't escape a few steps.
He thought about it in his mind, and the two evils were more mild. He seemed to have no intention of killing him for the time being, so he might as well walk over and see the situation openly. If something unexpected happened, it would not be too late to deal with it immediately.
Lu Lie immediately supported his legs and walked towards the depths of the cave.
"Here. Young man, I'm here."
"Look, I'm right behind you."
"No, you're over the head now, come back some."
Lu Lie walked deep in the cave for a long time, but he never found the origin of the female voice. In his impression, the one who could make such a sound should be a white-haired old woman. However, besides the mountain walls, there are strange trees with corpses hanging around him. Not to mention the old woman, she can't even see them.
Lu Lie suspected that the other party was playing tricks on him: "Hey, old lady, where have you been hiding?"
"What a ignorant boy. The old lady... it's been a long time since no one dares to say these three words to me."
This time, Lu Lie heard the sound coming from behind. He turned around along the source of the sound, but only saw an extremely huge tree standing behind him. Not only was the thicker of the giant tree far greater than its kind, but its unscrupulously growing branches spreading in all directions, placing a lot of space for other strange trees to grow. However, the other strange trees near it seemed that they did not dare to have any complaints, and they were tightly huddled in the corner, as if trying their best to avoid it.
Like all the strange trees in this cave, there is a corpse hanging on each of the branches of this giant tree, which is particularly thick.
