The old village chief pointed at a big banyan tree in the center of the village.

Ji Mingyan looked in the direction the old village chief pointed, and saw a three-story rural self-built villa under the big banyan tree. It was indeed the best one in the entire village.

I don’t know why, but when Ji Mingyan saw the big banyan tree, he suddenly had a premonition of danger!

From a distance, you can see that the villa is tightly wrapped by the big banyan tree, and you can see white bones under the banyan tree with the naked eye!

This shows how dangerous the banyan tree is.

Seeing this scene, Ji Mingyan panicked for a moment and wanted to rush towards the banyan tree.

"Young man, you can't do that!"

At this time, the old village chief stopped him and warned him earnestly: "I don't know what's wrong with that big banyan tree. It's like it has become a spirit. As long as anyone gets close, it will attack crazily!"

"If you're not careful, it will drag you away and make you its food!"

"I dare not go!"

The old village chief spoke in a heavy tone, his eyes red.

When the tree was wrapped in a white cocoon, the old village chief once saw through the spider web how the big banyan tree attacked humans!

With such momentum, even the most powerful veterans in the village could only become fodder in front of it.

Although these two young men are capable, he still can't bear to see him doing useless work!

"But my sister is there!"

Ji Mingyan's eyes were red and his heart was filled with depression.

He stared straight at the giant banyan tree that was as huge as the sky, and kept muttering, "There must be a way, there must be a way!"

Here, Ji Ming was thinking hard.

Over there, inside the villa that was completely blocked by tree trunks.

"Mingzhu, do you think your brother will really come to save you?"

At this time, in a room of the self-built villa, Yang Xue was shivering while hugging Ji Mingzhu.

There were several classmates sitting or standing around them.

They all looked decadent, filled with sadness and despair.

Where is the high spirits and enthusiasm that I had when I first arrived?

"Don't be afraid, my eldest brother said he will come to rescue me!"

Although Ji Mingzhu was also very scared, in order to comfort Yang Xue, she could only pretend to be not afraid at all.

"Wow, I'm so scared. That monster tree eats so many people every day. It's like we're the food it keeps here. Wow, I don't want to die. Wow..."

Yang Xue was trembling all over and crying.

Her voice resonated with everyone, and more than a dozen people's eyes became red.

"Okay, things haven't reached the worst point yet, don't lose heart!"

At this time, the young man in a white shirt stood up with a determined look on his face.

Everyone looked at him, and every pair of desperate eyes was filled with hope.

"God of Learning, what should we do?"

Someone couldn't help but speak.

The young man pushed his glasses up on his nose, looked around at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on the big banyan tree with lush branches and leaves not far away.

"I've observed that when the monster tree eats, its branches become rigid for more than ten minutes. This means that as long as we take advantage of its surprise and escape while it's feeding, we can definitely escape the banyan tree's attack range within a dozen minutes!"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, he received unanimous approval from everyone.

"I think this suggestion from the God of Learning is excellent. Instead of sitting here trembling with fear, waiting to become a meal for that monster tree, it's better to fight hard and buy yourself these ten minutes to escape!"

Someone agreed.

"But who will be the food for this monster tree?"

Someone else questioned.

For a moment, everyone fell into silence.

No one wants to die!

Naturally, no one wants to become food for a monster!

The air became heavy at this moment.

"Let's draw lots!"

At this time, the boy spoke again, breaking the silence.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally accepted this method helplessly!

So, a dozen people started drawing lots.

Each person chose a piece of paper, and only one piece of paper had words on it. The person who drew the piece of paper would be the bait this time!

Ji Mingzhu held the note in his hand and breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's a blank sheet of paper!

This means she doesn't have to die!

Just as Ji Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Xue burst into tears.

"Wow, why me, why me!"

Yang Xue's face was pale, the note in her hand was deformed by her, and her voice was full of panic!

"Xue'er!"

Ji Mingzhu was startled and looked sideways, just in time to see the word "death" written in big letters on the note in Yang Xue's hand!

"Wuwuwu, what should I do? I don't want to die yet, wuwuwu..."

Yang Xue cried heart-wrenchingly and her body kept shaking.

"Xue'er, you..."

Ji Mingzhu's eyes also turned red when she saw Yang Xue's appearance.

But she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only silently hug Yang Xue's shoulders to give her the last bit of warmth.

"Mingzhu, I don't want to die, wuwuwu..."

Yang Xue cried uncontrollably, her eyes swollen like walnuts.

"Mingzhu, let's switch, okay? My parents are waiting for me at home. I can't die here, I can't die here!"

Yang Xue cried even louder and grabbed Ji Mingzhu's arm as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Hearing this, Ji Mingzhu looked at Yang Xue in shock.

"What are you talking about?"

Yang Xue has her parents waiting for her, but doesn’t she have any relatives waiting for her?

How could Yang Xue let herself die for her?

"Yang Xue is right, Mingzhu, why don't you exchange money with Yang Xue? Your family is very poor, right? When we get out, I will definitely give your brother a lot of money. How about it?"

Some people just want to watch the fun and get involved.

"That's right, Ji Mingzhu. Your good-for-nothing brother is in dire need of money anyway, and your mother, who's in a vegetative state, is still lying in the hospital with no money to pay. Why don't you just die in Xue'er's place? After we get out, we'll give your brother a large sum of money. How about that?"

"That's right. Since you're a loser, you're just wasting air. Why not sacrifice yourself for others?"

Everyone was talking at once, and no one felt that there was anything wrong.

"You, what are you talking about?"

Ji Mingzhu was really anxious now. She stood up suddenly, looked at everyone, and shouted in disbelief, "Do I deserve to die just because I'm a waste?"

However, everyone had no illusion of being questioned and just started laughing.

"Mingzhu, trash deserves to die, doesn't it?"

Yang Xue suddenly stood up. She stopped crying and stood opposite Ji Mingzhu.

"Mingzhu, we are all well-known families in S City, and you are just a weed in a mountain cave. Even if you die here, no one will know!"
