The darkness in front of him, the confined space, and the slightly thin air all made Qin Nuo feel somewhat familiar.
The difference was that Qin Nuo felt a burning pain on his face and his teeth became a little loose.
Reaching out his hand and touching the wall beside him, Qin Nuo murmured, "Could it be that I'm back again?"
Then, he looked at the wooden sign in his hand. The burning sensation continued, and he shook his head: "No, this shouldn't be an illusion."
Qin Nuo sat up straight and tried to call the Blood Eye Ghost: "Brother Xue, are you there?"
"Awake? I thought you were dead." The blood-eyed ghost responded.
"How long have I slept?" Qin Nuo asked. Although he thought so, he still had some doubts about the blood-eyed ghost in his body.
"It wasn't long, but I was afraid you'd suffocate to death, so I tried to wake you up."
Qin Nuo asked: "How do you wake him up?"
"I patted you gently on the face a few times." The Blood-Eyed Ghost said calmly.
“But my teeth feel loose.”
"I don't know about that. Maybe you have cavities." The blood-eyed ghost said indifferently.
This tone was somewhat familiar, so Qin Nuo largely dispelled his suspicion and said, "I had a dream."
"Is this dream related to your current situation?" The Blood-Eyed Ghost was not stupid either.
Qin Nuo shook his head: "Forget it, there is no need to say it, he is already awake."
"Now let's think about how to leave this damn place."
Qin Nuo reached out and touched it. It felt like tree bark, very rough, just like in his dream.
He said, "Can this thing be broken?"
"It can't be broken. It's very thick." The Blood-Eyed Ghost had obviously tried it a long time ago.
Qin Nuo hesitated, held the wooden sign in his hand, and smashed it hard on the wooden wall.
It didn't break, but Qin Nuo clearly heard the sound of cracking.
“There’s hope!”
Qin Nuo's eyes lit up, he increased the strength in his hand and hit it again.
A small hole appeared and light seeped in. Qin Nuo continued to smash it hard a few times. For the last smash, the Blood Eye Ghost controlled his right hand and struck it hard, directly creating a big hole.
Fresh air came in, and Qin Nuo immediately crawled out from the gap.
What comes into view is not the ground, but an equally dim space, but this space is not closed, but connected.
When Qin Nuo freed himself, he turned on the flashlight in his hand, and at this moment, the wooden sign in his hand started to burn with flames.
Because he was holding it in his right hand, Qin Nuo did not let go, watching it burn into a pool of ashes bit by bit, falling off between his fingers and scattering on the ground.
"Is this the end of the wooden sign's purpose?"
Qin Nuo blinked.
As I said before, the wooden sign is the only straw that can pull you out of the quagmire you are sinking into.
After being pulled into the ground, everyone will fall into their own illusion, and everything will try to make you sink, but the wooden sign is the only sober thing.
Now it seems that it is true.
Qin Nuo took out his cell phone and took pictures of his surroundings. He seemed to be in a passage, but it was crooked and irregular, and the walls were uneven.
"It looks like I'm underground. To be more precise, inside that tree."
Qin Nuo took a step forward and felt something sticky under his feet. He looked down and saw that his feet were covered with blue-black liquid. He lifted his foot and pulled out dense threads, which gave him goose bumps.
"Hmm... I feel like I'm being swallowed." Qin Nuo felt a chill in his heart.
When I shone the flashlight overhead, I saw densely packed roots crisscrossing together like the wires of an electrical box.
Qin Nuo took out a knife and cut off one of the strands. A sticky liquid sprayed out with a certain foul smell.
"We are inside its body now, so let's just destroy it from the inside, destroy everything that can be destroyed, make it live a life worse than death, or even kill it directly!" The Blood Eye Ghost suddenly proposed a solution.
Qin Nuo said, "Logically, there should be no problem, but this tree is too big. It's like a mosquito biting an elephant. It might tickle it a little, but it's unlikely to suck its blood dry and kill it."
The Blood-Eyed Ghost naturally didn't believe in evil. Black shadows separated behind him, forming black sickles, which madly destroyed the top of his head and the surroundings.
Ignoring the disgusting liquid splashing, Qin Nuo covered his mouth and nose, and then he clearly saw that the cracks and damaged areas were repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's really useless!" The blood-eyed ghost gradually gave up.
In fact, the space here is not big, and its unscrupulous destruction has also had a certain impact on Qin Nuo.
"There must be a way. Let's figure out the internal structure first."
Qin Nuo asked the Blood-Eyed Ghost to put away the black sickle and walked forward with his cell phone.
As we move forward, the surrounding environment becomes different.
Grooves appeared on the four walls. When Qin Nuo reached out to touch them, he found that there were gaps around these grooves.
Qin Nuo observed it carefully, and using his ghost power, his five fingers suddenly pierced into the groove and tore off the skin.
A gap appeared in front of Qin Nuo. Qin Nuo raised his eyebrows and stared inside.
He narrowed his eyes first, then reached his arm inside and pulled out a human body covered with a membrane like plastic wrap.
With a thud, the human body fell to the ground and mucus flowed out.
The human body was wrapped inside, the skin was pale, but still breathing.
When he was pulled out, the stems that were attached to his body were forcibly torn off, and more mucus sprayed out. After being torn off, those stems were still swaying and wriggling like living things.
Qin Nuo ignored him and tore off a layer of synovial membrane on the human body. It turned out to be a middle-aged man in his forties. He was still breathing, but very weakly. His face was pale and his body was getting thinner and thinner. It seemed as if his life span was being sucked away and he was about to turn into a mummy.
It seems that my body functions have reached the limit.
But even so, the middle-aged man's face still showed a wonderful enjoyment.
Seeing this face, Qin Nuo naturally understood what was going on.
"These are the real villagers of Liekou Village. After the formation of the Terror Field, they were all sucked underground and turned into fertilizer."
"But even though it's fertilizer, whether it can be absorbed is unknown. In the dream, only those who fall into depravity little by little will have their nutrients absorbed by the tree."
"People like Ade, who still maintain a clear mind, are like unopened fertilizer, just temporarily stored here."
Qin Nuo raised his head and looked forward.
There are countless grooves like this on the walls on both sides.
Qin Nuo pulled it out like this, but the middle-aged man showed no signs of waking up. It was obvious that this would not save them at all.
Besides, there are as many as a thousand villagers in Liekou Village, and he cannot save them all.
If you want to solve the problem, you have to address the root cause.
This sacred tree can grow to this extent by absorbing humans as nutrition. It must have something like a core, something important and deadly.
Destroying it might kill the tree.
Kill this so-called god that runs throughout the entire instance...
