A slaughterhouse of carnage!
Yang Zheng could find no other fitting description for the scene at the top of the cliff except for these four words.
Looking around, the entire cliff face, apart from the towering tree in the very center that is six or seven meters tall, is covered with countless white bones on the surrounding hundreds of square meters of ground.
Skulls the size of a thumb, thigh bones thinner than chopsticks, densely packed everywhere.
Yang Zheng only glanced at it briefly before feeling a chill run down his spine.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of tiny human skeletons.
The skeletons of these little people were either deathly white or dark yellow.
There were also some skeletons covered in spots, black with a bluish tinge, as if they had endured hundreds or thousands of years of wind, frost, rain, and snow.
It is clear that these remains are from different periods.
"Why are there so many tiny human corpses on the cliff? Did they all come here to try and kill this giant tree, only to meet a tragic end?"
Thinking of this, Yang Zheng secretly became more vigilant.
At this moment, a strange fruity aroma filled the air.
The fragrance grew stronger and stronger, and also became increasingly pungent.
When he was standing at the bottom of the cliff before, he could smell the fragrance, but it was nowhere near as strong as this.
Standing on the cliff, the sensation is a hundred times stronger than the smell below.
After inhaling several pungent, strange fragrances, Yang Zheng felt a little dizzy and his mind began to wander.
Sudden,
Just then.
The scene before them began to distort and change, and all the dense, white bones on the ground stood up.
Immediately afterwards, thousands upon thousands of skeletons, their eyes glowing green, formed a tidal wave of skeleton legions, roaring and howling as they charged toward him.
Yang Zheng was somewhat surprised by the army of skeletons that were only a dozen centimeters tall, but he didn't take them seriously.
With a stomp of his foot, a series of crisp "crack" sounds rang out, and instantly more than a dozen miniature skeletons were crushed to pieces...
As his mind grew increasingly hazy, Yang Zheng suddenly realized, "Something's wrong with this scent!"
Thinking of this, he immediately put on the gas mask he was carrying.
I bought this gas mask a few days ago.
Because he was worried that there might be swamp gas in the primeval forests within the small world, even though he was a tall giant inside, he still bought a backup just to be on the safe side.
After putting on the gas mask, the pungent smell instantly became very faint.
After taking a few deep breaths, my previously groggy mind began to clear.
After less than three minutes of this, the scene before him completely returned to normal.
Looking at the ground again, there was still a thick layer of white bones; there was no skeleton army to be seen.
"Hallucination?"
Yang Zheng pondered for a moment and then understood what was going on.
He must have just inhaled too much of the pungent fragrance, causing him to become disoriented and hallucinate.
This shows that there are indeed some strange and dangerous things on this cliff.
Fortunately, he was enormous and his resistance to poison was far greater than that of humans in the small world; otherwise, he would probably be dead here today.
The cliff face was completely bare, without a single blade of grass in sight.
There were only stones and bare bones.
The giant tree in the middle stands out conspicuously in this eerie environment.
"Huh, why is there no movement after I climbed up? Where's the white tiger?"
Yang Zheng looked around but couldn't find the mini white tiger at all.
This puzzled him.
"Let's go check on that tree first..."
Thinking of this, he tightened the gas mask on his face again, and then slowly walked towards the giant tree in the middle.
The giant tree was even taller than he had imagined.
Previously, because we were at the foot of the mountain, we couldn't see it very clearly.
Now that we're on the cliff top and standing under the trees, a sense of oppression instantly arises.
Based on visual estimation, this giant tree is at least eight meters tall.
The trunk and branches are extremely thick, which looks very out of place compared to the leaves at the top.
It would probably take two people to encircle its thick trunk.
Yang Zheng walked up to the tree trunk, took out a magnifying glass, and began to examine it carefully.
Based on his magnified observation, he discovered that the trunk of this giant tree was smooth and silvery-gray, with densely packed brown veins of varying sizes inside.
It looks a bit like blood vessels in the human body.
"What a bizarre giant tree! According to the scale of this small world, it must be over eighty meters tall and more than ten meters in diameter."
"Look at the fruit above, what exactly is it?"
Yang Zheng raised his head and began to observe the branches, leaves, and fruit of the giant tree.
The top of the giant tree is like a green umbrella, blocking out the sun.
On the dense foliage, each leaf as small as a grain of wheat, grows a fruit the size of a peanut.
The fruit is bright red like blood, with a smooth and shiny skin, somewhat like a mini cherry tomato, or even more like a blood-red longan.
These fruits do look rather strange; I wonder if they possess any magical properties?
Yang Zheng was secretly tempted and was considering whether to pick some.
The branches hanging down from the giant tree were less than two meters from the ground, and Yang Zheng could easily pick the fruit from them with just a reach.
But he didn't do that; he decided to observe further.
Sudden,
Just then.
He heard a strange sound.
"Hiss..."
The sound wasn't loud, but it reached his ears intermittently.
Yang Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly listened for a moment, discovering that the sound was coming from the other side of the giant tree's thick trunk.
Let's go take a look!
With that thought in mind, he drew the machete he carried with him and cautiously circled around to the other side of the giant tree.
The scene that immediately came into view amazed him, leaving him speechless with wonder.
Beneath the thick, long tree trunk, a strangely shaped golden snake was tightly coiled around the white tiger.
Based on visual estimation, this strange golden snake is about the thickness of an egg and over a meter long.
What is most striking are its magnificent, shimmering golden scales and its blood-red comb atop its head.
"A crested snake?"
Upon seeing this strange snake, Yang Zheng couldn't help but recall a story told by the village elders when he was a child. They said that the crested snake was very eerie, and if a person accidentally bumped into it, it would stand up and compete with the person in height.
If it is taller than a person, that person will die suddenly that very night after returning home.
If a person is taller than it, it will leave.
Unexpectedly, the legendary evil creatures of Earth actually appeared in this miniature world.
The crested snake in front of us looks to be only a little over a meter long.
Based on the size of the small world, it would be at least a giant python over ten meters long.
That's absolutely terrifying!
At that moment, the golden crested snake, upon seeing the suddenly appearing giant, showed no fear whatsoever.
Instead of fleeing or letting go of the white tiger, it stared at Yang Zheng with fierce eyes, raised its ugly and ferocious snake head, opened its mouth with two sharp fangs, and hissed at him.
Yang Zheng frowned, thinking to himself, "This thing is over a meter long, and it already poses a threat to me. Keeping it around is a menace. I must get rid of it today!"
Looking at the white tiger again, it was being tightened up by the crested snake, its body covered in blood, and its eyes were slowly bulging out.
Judging from its appearance, it's probably not far from being strangled to death.
Let's deal with this crested snake first.
Still strutting around and provoking me?
The majesty of giants cannot be violated!
I'll kill you...
