Chapter 114 Corpse Maze
Lu Ming slowly woke up, but before he opened his eyes, he felt his whole body was tied tightly to a rough object, his feet were hanging in the air, his back was aching, and he felt weak all over. Even his mouth was tied, so he couldn't make a sound.
What is going on?
Why did Gu Chao suddenly attack her?
And Aze was obviously controlled by something.
What does that thing hiding in the dark want to do by bringing itself here?
She closed her eyes and listened attentively, but there was silence all around her, without any sound.
I tentatively opened my eyes and found that I was surrounded by fog and couldn't see my hand in front of me.
And my body is covered with thin... branches?
She was tied to a big tree, about six or seven meters from the ground, which shows how tall the tree was.
Their confusion grew even more intense. They had clearly checked everywhere when they came in, but hadn't seen any trees this tall! Where on earth had this tree come from?!
After trying it, she breathed a sigh of relief and found that the space was still usable.
After waiting quietly for a while, she felt that she could not just sit there and wait for death. She didn't know if other people were in danger, so she had to find a way to save herself!
She flipped her hand, took out a horizontal knife, made a knife flower, and cut the branch that bound her hands.
However, the broken branch actually started to bleed dark red blood from the cut end. It twisted left and right as if in pain, and then all the branches on Lu Ming's body tightened instantly. She seemed to feel the bones all over her body creaking, and the pain made Lu Ming almost unable to breathe!
She was shocked, not because the branch could hurt her who was already at the fifth level, but because she finally understood the meaning of that sentence.
Watch out for trees!
Because the plants have also mutated!
---------------------------
Gu Chao and Qin Ye searched the villa but didn't find anyone. They went down to the first floor and found that there was no sign of the night watchmen in the lobby, only an extinguished fire.
They walked out cautiously. The fog was so thick that they could only rely on their sense of where they would end up after they walked out of the door.
So they followed the wall and first came to the back of the villa, and then walked towards the garden based on their memory.
After walking for an unknown distance, a pair of feet suddenly appeared in front of them!
The two were startled and immediately became alert.
However, the feet did not move, but just swayed slightly in front of them. The shriveled and rotten skin symbolized that the owner of the feet had been dead for a long time, and the upper part was shrouded in thick fog and was completely invisible.
It was a dark night, thick fog, and a pair of dead feet appeared in mid-air for no apparent reason. It looked eerie no matter how you looked at it.
The two looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Qin Ye threw the ball of fire upwards, and as the light moved upwards, they could see clearly the owner of the feet.
It turned out to be a zombie!
There was a thick branch tied around its neck, and its cervical vertebrae seemed to be broken. Its head was strangely tilted to one side, and its face looked hideous.
There was also a branch stuck in its wide-open mouth.
This branch is bare, without leaves, and is thinner than the one at the neck.
The two suddenly had a bad feeling.
Qin Ye turned his head and looked at Gu Chao again. Then the two of them didn't say anything, but reached a consensus tacitly.
Qin Ye stretched out his hand and controlled the fireball in his hand to split into dozens of small fireballs, like lamps. Then he raised his hands and let the fireball float into the air.
Gu Chao also raised his hands and exerted force suddenly. The thick fog in a large area in front of them gradually began to rotate and drift into the sky.
Qin Ye took advantage of this opportunity to raise all the fireballs very high and disperse them into the distance.
Then they saw a scene they would never forget.
All they saw in front of them, as far as they could see, were densely packed zombies.
Without exception, these zombies all had a branch tied around their necks, hanging in the air and swaying slightly.
quantity……
At least thousands.
It felt like being in a slaughterhouse.
It makes people's scalp explode, the hair on their body stand up, and their hands and feet feel cold.
Fortunately, the two of them were knowledgeable and experienced. After the initial moment of fear passed, they began to observe these zombies carefully.
The branches used to tie the necks all hung down from the top, on thick branches about seven or eight meters high. The branches were like clotheslines, straight, thick, and very long, with no end in sight. But it seemed as if they grew from more than one big tree. Just what they could see were several rows and columns, high and low, at various angles, forming a maze-like place.
The zombies also have another branch on their bodies, but they are not all in their mouths. Some extend from the back, some from the limbs, and some from... the top of the head.
Zombies are all shriveled without exception, but if you look closely, you can see that the degree of shriveling varies.
The same thought came to their minds.
These trees feed on these zombies!
But their team members have all been captured, so I'm afraid it's not just about eating zombies.
Those people are in a very dangerous situation!
The two quickened their pace and walked into the maze of corpses.
-------------------
After about another hour, Lu Ming felt that most of his strength had recovered, so he took a deep breath, took out the horizontal sword again, broke free from his arms and slashed hard, quickly cutting off all the branches all over his body. Then he kicked the tree trunk behind him hard, using the force to jump forward a long distance. When he landed, he rolled forward twice in a row to avoid the branches that attacked from behind.
The speed was so fast that it left a shadow.
After getting up, it immediately ran forward again, constantly cutting off the branches that were chasing it.
After running for a while without knowing the direction, she suddenly saw a fire in front of her and hurriedly ran towards it.
However, as she approached the fire, flames flew towards her one after another. She dodged them several times and shouted, "Who's there? I'm Lu Ming!"
The flames stopped and a figure quickly ran over.
"Luming! Are you hurt?"
It’s Lin Cong.
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar team members, and asked anxiously, "I'm fine. How about you? Have you seen the others?"
Lin Cong shook his head, "It's okay, I didn't see anyone either."
"Then let's go find it quickly!"
With the illumination of Lin Cong's flames, they could also see the densely packed corpses hanging in the air not far away.
Lu Ming felt a chill in his heart and became more and more worried about the safety of others.
"Woof woof!"
"Xiaotian!"
Unexpectedly, Xiaotian was also caught. Luming looked at the wounds on its body caused by strangulation with heartache, and quickly helped it stop the bleeding and pain.
With Xiaotian's help, the two met Tang Yanwen not long after walking, and then found two cocoons made of branches nearby.
Lu Ming and Lin Cong took a few steps back to gain leverage, and in a few seconds they climbed up the high branches. Then Lin Cong built a wall of fire around them to prevent the branches from approaching, while Lu Ming used a horizontal knife to cut through the tough branches and rescued the people inside.
"Aze!"
"Hangyuan!"
Both of them were still unconscious, and Lu Ming's healing was useless, so he had to carry them on his back and continue on his journey.
On this side, Gu Chao and Qin Ye also met Su Luo and Han Chong and rescued the rat, but unfortunately, when they found Xie Ran and Wu Kai who were on night watch, they had already been sucked by the tree.
I saw a thin vine inserted into each of their limbs, which seemed to be sucking blood.
Gu Chao's heart sank, and he immediately raised his hands, sending out a gust of wind that cut off the branches on the necks and limbs of the two men. He and Qin Ye caught the two men below.
But the difference this time was that the food snatching from its mouth seemed to have angered the trees here. All the surrounding trees began to shake, and the leaves swayed with a rustling sound, as if they were summoning something.
"Be careful! Something might be coming out!"
