Xiao Tangqiu frowned. The worship of the sacred tree on this island reminded him of the previous copy of the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons. The two were too similar.
"Wait a minute...how many years have you been on this island?" Tang Mianmian suddenly interrupted and asked.
The middle-aged man said tremblingly: "...two years."
"Are you kidding? You're only in your twenties?" Tang Mianmian's mouth twitched.
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, "I am already twenty-eight years old."
"Wait, you're really only in your twenties?" Tang Mianmian said in disbelief. "You said you were about forty-eight! And...what does 'already' mean? Is twenty-eight old?"
The middle-aged man suddenly shuddered, then continued tremblingly, "Twenty-eight is very old on this island..."
Xiao Tangqiu frowned: "What do you mean?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, "Because the people on this island...don't live past thirty..."
He went on to say that the first group of people who came to the island had only been there for more than ten years, but there was only one survivor left among that group. That survivor was only in his teens when he came to the island, but now he is already an old man.
Xiao Tangqiu said coldly: "Then what? Continue."
The middle-aged man continued to say that he had just arrived on the island. There were still several survivors among the first group of people who arrived on the island, but they had gradually lost their ability to speak and were almost unable to communicate with others. Even their IQ seemed to have dropped a lot, and they only had the instinct to eat. Not long after, they disappeared.
Xiao Tangqiu fell into silence. The speed of time on this island was obviously different from that in the normal world, but this was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that normal humans gradually degenerated into lower animals with only the instinct to eat. When he thought that if he stayed on this island, he would also regress into a lower animal with no intelligence and only the ability to eat, he felt a chill all over his body.
Tang Mianmian finally couldn't help but ask, "Even after all this, you're still worshipping the sacred tree?"
The middle-aged man looked at Tang Mianmian with a numb expression: "If there were no sacred tree, we would have starved to death long ago..."
"But you're aging quickly and degenerating. Maybe it's the Sacred Tree's fault!"
The middle-aged man repeated the same sentence: "If there were no sacred tree, we would have starved to death long ago."
"Forget it, he's clearly been brainwashed. Why bother arguing with him?" Duan Hongzhen sneered, playing with the knife in his hand and asked the middle-aged man, "Then what about your wife turning into a tree?"
The middle-aged man looked at Duan Hongzhen with a numb expression, and then continued to speak -
It turned out that when they first arrived on the island, they were warned by others not to run around at night. But one night his wife ran out for no apparent reason. He woke up and found that his wife was missing. He immediately ran out to look for her, but he witnessed his wife being eaten by a strange tree.
The middle-aged man was heartbroken and chopped down the tree with a knife, then buried the remaining half of the body here.
When he came here the next day to pay tribute to his wife and unborn child, he found that a tree had grown from the place where his wife was buried.
After that, he would come to check on it every few days, and he saw that the tree was growing bigger and bigger...
Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine: "How can you be sure this tree is your wife?"
The middle-aged man said blankly: "Of course I know, I can sense it... This is my wife... My wife and my unborn child..."
He reached out his hand, and lovingly touched the slightly bulging trunk of the strange tree, continuing to murmur, "Look... this is my child... My child is right here..."
