Chapter 136 Flowing Water Family (11) A magnitude 7 earthquake...

It is easy to destroy the outer wall of the forbidden area. The difficulty lies in not entering the forbidden area under the sight of the resident agents and other survivors, and strictly preventing them from causing trouble.

Yes, other survivors.

Whenever a survivor approaches Yinshan, Wang Xue will receive a team formation prompt from the system.

They quickly discovered that in addition to the special agent team, there were three other survivors who came to Black Mountain to try their luck. They were now hiding near the mass grave and might have known each other.

Two of the survivors were quite brutal. Even without being provoked by the undead, they still scared many undead away, and tried to circle around outside the village many times.

Ye Mo first set up a black fog blinding array under the mountain village. This array might be more perfect if it uses mental illusion, but her current research on illusion is far from enough. When approaching, people with physical fitness stronger than 20 can still easily be discovered by the survivors.

Therefore, when Ye Mo dug a hole to enter the cliff at the foot of the mountain, Wang Xue stayed outside to repair the outer wall of the cliff, wearing red clothes to guard and provide logistics on the spot. There are dozens of undead in the mountain who are now her spies.

The mountaintop special agent team is using the long-lost ghost magic of Liaoshui Village. The survivors of Luanzanggang can't bear the yin energy. Every once in a while, they will slip down the mountain or drink some yang-tonifying potions.

Ye Mo walked inside along the cliff and soon arrived at the boundary of the forbidden area that could not be specifically detected.

The black mist here, which is an imbalance of yin and yang, is several times thicker than outside the green mountains. The origin of the black mist in the mountains is mostly here. The way to cross the dividing line is to cover up the yang energy on your body and merge with the yin energy.

For this reason, she has already urgently changed her name to 'Heim', the underworld in the Nordic world. It is a very dark name. Watson confirmed that if you change your name in the dungeon, the account displayed in the survivor app will also change.

Fireworks are set off once, and an announcement is issued: [The chief survivor 'Traveler' has changed

his name to the new account 'Heim'. ] Survivors: [For the boss's appearance, he has to inform the whole world of his name change. ]

[The boss really likes to change his name. He has changed it several times in the dungeon before. His ability is not related to the name change, right? When other survivors come to power in the future, they will think that he changed his name! ]

[Heimlich maneuver? Region Anaheim? Heim Solomon? I Googled it, but I didn't find any special meaning for this name. The name Traveler is more common. 】

【……】

Some people also connect Heim with Norse mythology, but these are just one of the various speculations. Ye Mo has flipped through the Runes. This Heim is most suitable for the current scene. The other is Valhalla, which is more easily exposed.

She doesn't mind exposing the previous Norse mythology copy, but she doesn't want to reveal that she is clearing the Undead copy for the time being.

...

Once you enter the forbidden area, you really have the illusion of stepping into the underworld.

Except for the black mist, both sides are full of ancient murals. The colors have not faded for thousands of years. They are still as bright and lifelike as before. The murals depict some "strange" humans.

Strange is an adjective, not a curse word.

Among these strange-looking humans, there are both men and women. They have some very obvious bestial features, such as long horns or wings, and some are only human in the upper body or lower body.

The common feature is that when Ye Mo enters the forbidden area, these murals are a bit like Mona Lisa's smile. No matter where she is now, the eyes of the murals seem to be staring at her. The feeling of being surrounded by murals is more uncomfortable than being surrounded by people and ghosts.

When the mental power scans these murals, it will be bounced back, and the eagle eye cannot see through them. They are the key to the anti-detection of the forbidden area.

In this forbidden area, it is also impossible to observe other places in Qingshan through the eagle eye and mental power, so Wang Xue has to stay outside to deal with emergencies at any time.

Ye Mo paused to study the water book. The reason was that the colorful dyes of these murals were added with animal blood, jade, and ancient alien plants. The ancient alien plants had a shielding effect.

There are many kinds of alien plants.

One of the shielding plants is the ghost grass, which has leaves like sunflowers and red stems, and is as beautiful as wheat. It grows in Niu Shou Mountain and has the same effect of making people lose their memory as Meng Po soup. This is the first time she has found something related to mental power in the dungeon world.

At least it proves that in ancient times, there may be people with mental power talents like her.

...

After walking through the mural passage, I came to a round hole of a large area.

The circular cave was too empty, and the yin energy was thick, but no undead spirits were seen. There were more than 300 top-grade jades inlaid on the walls, all of which were dark attributes in the soil. After the spiritual energy was revived, these jades showed signs of recovering their spiritual energy, and some of them had reached the quality of low-grade jades.

Careful observation showed that there were four fist-sized pieces of pure black jade in the middle of the four directions of east, south, west and north. These jades continuously infused their spiritual energy into other jades.

This was the "jade spirit" mentioned by Qiong .

Ye Mo tried to destroy this very obvious jade formation, but failed. With her strength attribute value of more than 200, she couldn't even deal with any of the jades.

The reason was in the tree in front of her.

Yes, another sacred tree.

Basically, there are sacred trees in every myth, such as the World Tree, Jianmu, and the Life Tree of the Garden of Eden. They all have the same function of communicating with all the worlds, perhaps just with slightly different names.

The tree in front of me is also recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but it may not be as famous as the three sacred trees of Jianmu, Ruomu, and Fusang: "Its branches are 3,000 miles long, and the northeastern part of its branches is called the Ghost Gate, where all the ghosts come in and out."

There are many banyan trees in the mountains that form a forest of one tree. The banyan tree is one of the Yin trees. There is also a tree planted in front of the door of the witch Mo. The roots of these banyan trees go deep into the ground and are connected to the branches of the tree that soars into the sky.

It's so true!

Maybe this sacred tree in the forest of one tree looks exactly like the banyan tree ten thousand years ago, or maybe it is a ten thousand year old banyan tree spirit?

Ye Mo feels that he has an inexhaustible fate with the mythical tree.

On every branch of this sacred tree, there are hundreds of cold corpses hanging.

These corpses include both males and females, naked, with abnormally developed body hair, and all over two meters tall. Unlike the corpses processed by the Miao people, they retain the appearance they had when they were alive.

But they are different from when they were alive, not only because of the corpse spots and the obvious stench, but also because they have uniform long black nails, a bit like the zombies in the doomsday supermarket copy.

The reason why they are classified as corpses is that they all have no breathing and no heartbeat, and Ye Mo sensed a faint smell of blood on these corpses, a familiar smell of blood.

"Li?"

There were no wounds on the corpse. If you look closely, you can see that the smell of blood comes from the branches of the sacred tree. The sacred tree is like a conduit that guides the blood into the corpse. The corpse will absorb the yang energy in the blood to maintain the ritual of the living sacrifice.

The blood comes from the other two forbidden areas. No wonder there are dry corpses or skeletons in the forbidden areas. It has been a long time since the last living sacrifice. Because of the recovery of spiritual energy, the speed of the corpse absorbing blood has slowed down.

But once the blood of the previous living sacrifice is absorbed and there is no new living sacrifice, they will absorb the blood of all living things in the whole mountain, turning the Yin land into a dead land. As for what happens after the dead land - the water book only uses the word "horrible" to describe it. It is a disaster that only the ancient witch can prevent.

According to the water book, the core of the forbidden area is this tree, and these men and women are the first batch of ancestors who were sacrificed alive. The only way to break the formation is to cut down this tree.

Ye Mo took out the Mozi sword from the storage space, swung it and chopped at the tree trunk. Bang, the whole mountain shook slightly, but the trunk only lost its skin and was unscathed.

At the same time, Wang Xue, the special agent team, the villagers, and the survivors all felt the Qingshan shaking.

"Earthquake?"

The special agent team immediately helped the crowd move out of the stilt building, and at the same time urgently contacted the Earthquake Bureau. The other party did not detect the news of the earthquake, and there was no earthquake except in Qingshan.

This is a local problem.

Soon there were two more tremors. The special agents finally discovered that in addition to the mountain tremors, the banyan tree in the village was shaking more violently. They looked at the village chief and Mo Shenpo.

They both gave the same confused look.

Yuan Yuan ordered:

"Cut down a tree for research."

The banyan tree was thick, and the survivors had great strength. In less than a minute, it was broken at the waist. Soon, they found a little red blood in the center of the trunk.

The initial diagnosis was human blood!

The village chief cried out: "We don't know, we really don't know. The live sacrifices in the water village included the steps of bloodletting rituals, but we haven't done live sacrifices in the past for hundreds of years."

The special agent team sent the agents down the mountain for testing while cutting down several banyan trees. As expected, the trunks of these banyan trees also had blood on them. There may be many banyan trees not only in the village, but also on the mountain.

...

Ye Mo was also cutting trees below.

Since cutting the trunk of the tree didn't work, he swung the sword at one of the branches of the sacred tree. Every time he cut, the earth shook. After three cuts, the branch was finally broken.

As he chopped it off, the corpse hanging on the branch suddenly opened its eyes. It still had no heartbeat or breath. It showed its inhuman fangs and waved its black nails towards Ye Mo. Ye Mo was offside and dodged it, while giving him a sword chop.

The sword chopped at the back of the corpse, but no blood was left, and it had no effect on him.

One person and one corpse fought.

Ye Mo found that the zombies in the doomsday copy were obviously much weaker than the unknown corpses here. After all, they were corpses that were more than 2,000 years old, but she was no longer the same as before.

The corpses were no match for her.

During the fight, parts of the corpses kept disappearing. What surprised Ye Mo was that every part of these corpses seemed to have intelligence and could move independently.

In the end, she had to fight a head, a body, two hands and two feet. Even the nails could move. The headshot was useless. The head was rotten and continued to bite.

Burning the corpse was like pouring oil on the fire. After all, fire creates soil. Ordinary fire cannot burn the corpse, especially in this environment with jade essence.

She fell into various inertial misunderstandings.

Ye Mo still had to use the wood formation and light magic items to destroy every part of the corpse, spending the equivalent of two seventh-level high-level monster crystal cores and a low-grade light jade.

"..."

When Ye Mo was dealing with the next corpse, he learned his lesson and stopped dismembering the body, but dealt with it directly. Sure enough, his energy and consumption were greatly reduced. If it weren't for these equipment, he really couldn't deal with these corpses.

However, this corpse is obviously stronger than the previous one.

The third corpse is stronger than the second one. The strength of this corpse has nothing to do with them, but with the order.

As the corpses were dealt with one by one, the branches of the sacred tree were cut off one by one, the amplitude of the peach wood vibration became larger and larger, and the speed at which the remaining corpses absorbed blood became faster and faster.

When Ye Mo processed 60 corpses, the blood had been completely absorbed, and the corpses under him began to absorb the corpses of other living creatures in the mountain crazily, using the roots of the banyan trees all over the mountain.

Yes, the special agent team has discovered that there are not only a lot of banyan trees in the village, but also many banyan trees on the whole mountain, and the roots of these banyan trees almost cover the whole mountain. At a certain moment, they seemed to be alive and madly attacked some bloody creatures.

"!!!"

The villagers really took out all their martial arts. Wang Xue helped them secretly. The special agent team asked more people to go up the mountain for support and transfer, and the survivors on the mountainside were finally exposed.

And as the tremors became stronger and stronger, the Earthquake Bureau could also detect it. People from all directions began to take emergency shelters, which echoed the scene of animals escaping a few days ago.

There really is an earthquake!

And it is a group formation, there will be earthquakes every once in a while, and each time the vibration is getting stronger.

Ye Mo increased the speed of chopping corpses, and when there were only ten corpses left, the sacred tree was finally cut down by a sword, and rumbling, with Qingshan as the core, an earthquake of nearly 7 magnitude occurred.

At the same time, the system sound rang again.
