After climbing for a long time, everyone finally saw a dim light and knew that the exit was right in front of them.
Fatty Wang was the most excited. Because of his fat body, he could be said to have hit a wall everywhere in the crowded tree hole.
And to Fan Zi, he could finally be released. Along the way, he had already been baptized by Fatty Wang's loud farts countless times.
"I'm finally out. I'm suffocating.”Fan Zi said painfully.
Fatty Wang said,"You should be happy. My service is so thoughtful."”
"I only know that if I were to be smoked a few more times, I would die from the stench.”Fan Zi said unhappily.
At the exit of the tree hole, there was a protruding area that everyone could stand on.
The protruding part was a huge tree root that extended vertically along the stone wall.
The distance from the tree hole to the ground was at least ten to twenty meters. Looking down, it was a little dizzy.
Looking around, he found that it was a natural karst cave. It was very wide and was the size of a football field.
Moreover, the wind was so strong that everyone could not open their eyes. There was a huge crack on the top of the cave. Moonlight seeped in through the crack, making the entire cave look dark green.
With the help of the weak moonlight, one could see that there were countless small holes densely packed around the stone wall.
The most surprising thing was that there was a huge tree in the middle of the karst cave. Even Zhang Qi couldn't help but exclaim when he saw this tree.
Just the diameter of this tree alone was half the size of a basketball court. Countless branches stretched out in all directions, almost filling up the entire area.
Countless vines hung down from the branches. These vines were the Ghost Hand Vines that everyone had seen before. They were floating in the cave with the wind.
The branches and vines were very lush. Looking at the trees, he could vaguely feel that there were many fruits hanging on them.
At the root of the giant tree was an altar made of stone, and on top of the altar was a small jade platform.
There seemed to be two people sleeping on it, but they were a little far away and could not see clearly.
"Haha…I've finally found the main tomb of the King of Lu Shang. I'm sure that the Heirloom Seal is right below.”
Fatty Wang looked down and laughed wildly.
"The distance is too high," said Fan Zi."We have to go back and find another way out.”
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. Give me the rope. I'll go down first to investigate.”Fatty Wang said impatiently.
Fan Zi was still a little worried. He looked at Zhang Qi and asked,"Brother Zhang, what do you think?"
"It's indeed too troublesome to go back. Moreover, the tomb passage is complicated. We're not sure if we can find this place. We might as well go down from here.”Zhang Qi said.
Wu Xie looked at the vines and said,""But there are too many vines.”
"As long as we don't touch these vines, we'll be fine.”Zhang Qi said.
Fan Zi heard something different and asked,""Tree vines?"
"That's right. These are the tentacles of this tree.”Zhang Qi said.
Fatty Wang was stunned when he heard that."Are you saying that this is the tentacle of the tree? Could it be that the tree has already become a spirit?”
"Plants and vegetation can easily become spirits for thousands of years. Although this tree is big, it's still some distance away from becoming a spirit. It's just that this kind of tree has always hunted in this way.”Zhang Qi said.
"Do you know what kind of tree this is?" Wu Xie asked.”
"Nine-Headed Snake Cypress." Zhang Qi hesitated for a moment before saying. He didn't know what this tree was called in this world.
"Nine-Headed Snake Cypress?" Wu Xie asked in surprise. Was this the legendary Nine-Headed Snake Cypress?”
"You know him?" Fatty Wang asked.
The Nine-Headed Snake Cypress had hand-shaped vines. It was a man-eating tree with many vines and huge limbs.
There was also a legend abroad that it was called the octopus tree. It could wrap around the prey that approached it, kill it, and digest it.
They use rotting animals to attract insects to pollinate them.
Wu Xie explained to the crowd as he had heard of this ancient wood.
"I've only heard of man-eating flowers. I didn't expect there to be man-eating trees in this world!”Fatty Wang sighed.
"This tree isn't scary. You just have to cut off a few of its vines and it'll be obedient. But…" Zhang Qi said.
"But what?" Fan Zi hurriedly asked.
Zhang Qi looked at the altar under the nine-headed snake cypress tree and said,
"There's a demon soul down there."
"Demon soul? Is it a monster?" Wu Xie hurriedly asked.
Zhang Qi nodded." Although it's already dead, its demon soul is still there. Everyone, try to be careful when you go down."”
"That's not right. Didn't you say that this tree is a cannibal tree? How could the corpse on the altar be intact?”Fatty Wang immediately grasped the main point and asked.
"I think that jade platform should be a Heaven's Heart Jade."”
"Jade must be worth a lot of money, right? Let's go down quickly." Fatty Wang said.
As he spoke, he impatiently took out the rope and fixed it on a protruding place in the tree hole.
"I'll carry the barbarians down first." Fatty Wang did not forget about Fan Zi even at this time.
He carried Fan Zi on his back and began to climb down. When it was about time, Wu Xie also began to climb down.
After the three of them went down, Zhang Qi looked at the jade platform on the altar and wondered why the demon soul had not dissipated.
One had to know that this was not a sealed place. Yang qi would seep in from the cracks on it.
However, these two corpses did not rot. This made Zhang Qi somewhat puzzled.
"Thump! Thump!"
……
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from under the stone wall. This made everyone's hearts jump.
Fortunately, they did not hear the gurgling sound. At least they were sure that it was not a bloody corpse.
Fatty Wang was already very close to the ground with the fan on his back, but after the footsteps came, Fatty Wang climbed up a few meters along the rope.
He even specially instructed Fanzi to take out her pistol and shoot immediately if the situation turned bad.
Don't worry, it's Third Master Wu."
Zhang Qi said nervously.
Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They had not expected Third Master Wu to be here as well.
Sure enough, as he got closer and closer, Third Master Wu walked out of a stone cave dejectedly.
He looked a little disheveled, and his clothes were torn.
There was still some blood on his thigh where the dagger was placed, and there were a few scratch marks on his face.
It could be seen that his days were not good. At least he had experienced a fierce battle before.
"Third Uncle!" Wu Xie could not help but shout when he saw Third Master Wu.
Third Master Wu raised his head and looked at Wu Xie. He could not help but curse,""You bastard, where did you go? I had to walk around the tomb."
"Third Master, don't scold me first. You can't blame Little Third Master for what happened at that time. By the way, where did Da Kui go?”Fan Zi put away his pistol and asked.
Third Master Wu sighed and said,"Brother Da Kui…has gone."”
Hearing Third Master's words, Fan Zi and Wu Xie were shocked, and their faces overflowed with sadness.
