"You'd better not lie to us. If you dare to lie to us, you know the consequences." Zhang Meng glanced at her bones.
The Bone Girl gritted her teeth, trying hard to suppress her anger and replied, "I know, I wouldn't dare lie to you. Everything I said just now is true."
Zhang Meng glanced at her, said nothing, and turned to walk forward.
Gu Mingtai was standing guard in front of her. When he saw her come back, he immediately came over and asked, "How's it going? Did she say anything?"
Zhang Meng nodded. "She said that after walking this distance, we will see a forest. The sacred tree we are looking for is in that forest, but she doesn't know exactly where it is."
"How much of what she said do you think is true?" Gu Mingtai asked.
Zhang Meng touched his chin and thought carefully. "I think it's 90% true. After all, she is still in our hands. Liang doesn't dare to play any tricks."
Gu Mingtai nodded, turned around and said to his men behind him, "Let's keep going forward. Everyone, be careful. If you find anything wrong, be sure to call for help."
When everyone heard this, they immediately responded, and soon the team continued to move forward.
This time, after they walked towards the dark cave, a forest really appeared before them as the Bone Girl had said.
"There really is a forest. I thought you, the bone girl, were lying to us when you said that just now."
As soon as Ye Shiping saw the forest, he looked at Gu Nu and spoke with a smile.
The Bone Girl looked at him and snorted, "Of course, I am an honest person, I don't tell lies."
At this time, Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, who were standing in front, stared at the forest without saying a word.
After a long while, Zhang Meng was the first to come back to her senses. She glanced at the man beside her and said, "Gu Mingtai, this forest is a little strange. Do you see the leaves on these trees? They look like they've been crawled over."
Gu Mingtai nodded. "I saw it, and I also discovered something. In the forests we've seen before, there are always a lot of animal calls, but here, there's not a single sound. It's so quiet it's terrifying."
After he reminded her of this, Zhang Meng quickly discovered the problem.
"Then how do we go now?" Zhang Meng looked at him and asked.
After listening to the noises around him for a while, Gu Mingtai immediately squatted down and looked at the grass on their feet for a long time.
After a minute, Gu Mingtai stood up and pointed at the grass under their feet and said, "Xiao Meng, did you see that? The grass is growing in the same direction."
When Zhang Meng heard what he said, she immediately looked at the grass on the ground, and it was true.
"I saw it, but is there any problem with it?" Zhang Meng asked.
Gu Mingtai nodded. "Just now, I squatted down and observed for a while, and I found that these grasses didn't grow like this on their own. Something else made them like this. If I'm not mistaken, it must be that big black python dragged these grasses into this state when it passed by here."
"It seems that this big black python is nearby." Zhang Meng said.
"Everyone, be careful. This big black python may rush out and attack us at any time. We must be extremely alert." Gu Mingtai turned around and continued to instruct his men behind him.
After staying at the entrance of the forest for a while, the group continued to walk into the forest.
After walking for about ten minutes, someone suddenly shouted from behind, "What is this? Is it edible?"
Zhang Meng and Gu Mingtai, who were walking in front, heard the noise behind them. The couple looked at each other and walked to the back together.
"Boss, sister-in-law, come and have a look, our brothers found this thing by the bushes."
As soon as Ye Shiping saw them coming, he immediately handed them a fruit that looked like a peach.
Zhang Meng immediately took it and took a look. She was completely stunned and immediately handed the peach to Gu Mingtai, "Take a look at this."
Gu Mingtai took it and looked at it, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. He saw that one side of the peach they were looking at actually looked like a human face.
"This is a peach, right? It looks like a peach no matter how you look at it. How come it looks like this? It makes me feel weird when I eat it."
The young soldier who had just picked up the human-faced peach looked at the peach in Gu Mingtai's hand with fear.
If Ye Shiping hadn't called him, he would have opened his mouth and eaten the peach.
"Fortunately you didn't eat it. Do you know what tree this peach comes from?" When everyone heard Gu Mingtai ask this, they all shook their heads at him.
Gu Mingtai pointed at the peach and said, "This kind of peach is called the Human Face Peach, and the tree that bears it is called the Human Face Tree."
"Haha, I didn't expect that a young man like you knows so much. That's right, this kind of peach is called human face fruit. It likes the nutrients in your human body the most. Do you know why there is a human face on this peach?" The Bone Girl looked at everyone and asked.
When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads.
The Bone Girl chuckled again, "Let me tell you, there's a human face on this peach, which means the Human-Faced Tree ate one of you. If you don't know this, you're really stupid."
After hearing her explanation, everyone was so scared that their faces turned pale.
Seeing this, Zhang Meng glared at the Bone Girl unhappily and said, "Just keep your words to yourself. No one will think you're dumb."
The Bone Girl snorted softly, "Your kindness is taken for granted. I'll explain to your people, but you're not grateful, and you're even mean to me. Fine, I won't tell you anything that happens to you next.
