The name of the tree is 'Lingpo'.
The implication is very simple, that is, 'soul' and 'soul'.
This tree is very huge. Its trunk is so high that its branches and roots penetrate into every corner of the tomb. It seems that it has no leaves, only dry and dry tree vines. It is said that countless Soul, whenever this soul wants to break away from the protection of the spirit tree and return to the world like a reincarnation, the vines of the soul tree will bloom.
And in the flowers, there is life.
Before the ghost used a large-scale explosion skill to blast away almost all monsters and flower buds, but there were always one or two flower buds that were lucky, and outside the explosion range of the skill, huge flower buds stood tall in a dark corner , They bloomed when everyone had no time to take care of them.
The first thing to bloom was a bright red bud. The petals slowly unfolded one by one, and from it crawled out a... well, a person.
If any of Luo Jian and the others saw the scene in front of them, they would be able to clearly recognize who this person is. Yes, he is the man who called himself 'God', the one who was stabbed by the hunter. The 'god' who died and was reborn silently in the corner.
"God... how could he die?" The man just crawled out of the flower bone, his hair was still so long, even longer than what Luo Jian and others saw before, stood on the ground and dragged a long section, he The body is wet, and there is a viscous protective liquid in the flower bud, just like the amniotic fluid in the mother's stomach.
"It's been more than a thousand years, and my body was destroyed long before that." The man walked forward slowly, his bare feet stepping on the potholed ground, mixed with stumps and broken leaves, his voice was deep and natural. Talking to himself, with a dazed expression: "I am the incarnation of the spirit tree... yes, I am that tree... I am the exit..."
Then, the man stood still, motionless, but his expression became ferocious, and he roared, "I am a god!"
But at this moment, on the other side of the tomb of the gods, Luo Jian had just climbed up the huge tree, at the position the little boy said, he saw a circular groove as expected, when he put the two jade pendants together When they are together, they fit together perfectly, like two magnets are attracted together.
Not only Luo Jian climbed up the trunk, but several other people climbed up, because the trunk of this tree is very huge, and the branches are also very huge. There will be no problem with dozens of people standing on it, and the two teams are not enough. , so they didn't fight directly, but each climbed up the tree trunk on one side, and confronted each other in twos.
The female military adviser on the little boy's side seemed particularly irritable, and kept her eyes on Luo Jian. Because she was seriously injured and unable to move, she was always hugged by the strong man, and their vampire captain needed to be on guard all the time, in case the enemy suddenly Attack.
The little boy didn't need to climb the tree, he flew up directly, but he was not with his companions, because he still had a hostage in his hand, so he flew up with Feng Yulan, occupying a room alone Root thick trunk.
Feng Yulan was very conflicted. He felt that the situation in front of him was not good for his entire team, but he didn't know how to deal with it. For example, the little girl next to him who had been silent boy.
"What on earth are you thinking?" Ah Lan couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly asked the boy.
"I just want to win," the boy replied softly.
"Then what if you win and we lose? Is it because of this reason that you are here?" Feng Yulan couldn't bear it anymore, he had to know the cause and effect, he had to know his own Is it worth the trust
However, the boy just raised his head and looked at A Lan, with inexplicable sadness in his eyes. He was silent for a while, and then answered A Lan: "In the team battle secret room, the side that loses, the survivor will immediately enter the 'punishment secret room'." ', this secret room is also called by many players as 'the secret room where no one survives' or 'the secret room that cannot be escaped', which means that so far, no one has been able to defeat this secret room."
The boy's words made Feng Yulan's eyes widen in astonishment, staring at the boy intently.
The boy raised his face to look at Alan, with a smile on his pale face, and he continued: "But I want to overcome it, I must overcome it!"
The boy's words were trembling, but filled with terrifying firm power, Feng Yulan seemed to be shocked at that moment, he opened his mouth, he was about to call out that name, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Alan, the earring I put on you before, no matter what, don't lose it." The boy reminded him again, which made Feng Yulan reach out and touch the earring on her earlobe subconsciously. I don't know why, this earring feels a little hot to the touch, and the temperature seems to be very high, but when it is worn on the ear, the earlobe does not feel much temperature.
But Ah Lan remembered the boy's advice and nodded.
"I searched all the way from thousands of secret rooms." The boy said, his tone became more and more sad, and A Lan almost thought he was choking up at that moment.
"After crossing countless time points and world lines, I finally found this place."
"Can't fail, absolutely not."
The moment the boy finished speaking, Luo Jian had inserted the jade pendant into the so-called 'keyhole'.
Farther away, the newly revived 'god' raised his head and glanced at the spirit tree, and said to himself: "It's started."
The huge tomb began to shake, and everyone felt that the ground under their feet seemed to be shaking, as if a mysterious mechanism had been activated. It was so huge, and it affected the whole body when it moved, making everyone feel that it was about to collapse. The powerful, rumbling sound echoed in the empty tomb, as if responding to the activation of this mechanism, everyone heard various roars coming from the depths of the ground.
The monsters in the tomb woke up.
"What happened?!" The female military adviser turned her head and stared at the little boy fiercely, and the others also turned their attention to the boy, but the little boy looked innocent and smiled: "I don't know, I'm afraid the activation What mechanism is it?"
"Didn't you say this is the key to the exit?" Luo Jian also turned his head and looked at the boy. When he put the jade pendant into the small groove on the tree, he felt that the tree had begun to open. There was an inexplicable change, as if something that had been sleeping was awakened, and it started to roar and run away, which gave him a very bad feeling.
"This is indeed the key." The boy was very insistent, not flustered at all: "I didn't lie to you."
"Where is that door? I didn't see the exit at all!" Luo Jian couldn't help but look a little irritable. Although he tried his best to suppress his emotions, he found that as long as he stood in front of this boy, he couldn't suppress his emotions. He will feel an inexplicable panic, and this terrible sense of panic can't be suppressed, it almost drives him crazy.
"Calm down, Luo Jian, the exit is right in front of you, isn't it?" The boy's tone seemed to reveal a sense of helplessness.
After hearing his words, Luo Jian seemed to have thought of something, and turned her head to look at the huge tree trunk in front of her. The tree was originally extremely dry, the trunk was almost black, the black color of dead wood, but at some point, the tree seemed to come alive again, and Luo Jian could even feel it trembling slightly .
No! More than a slight trembling? It's just shaking more and more! The giant tree trembled violently as if it had suddenly gone epileptic, and the two teams were standing on the trunk, almost thrown off by the violent shaking! Not only that, but soon everyone discovered a fact that surprised them!
this tree! Survived!
This kind of "coming alive" does not only mean full of vitality, but means that this tree is actually like an animal creature. It uses its countless roots and vines as its feet and its branches as its hands, and it starts to act like a human being! It moves! Stand up unsteadily in the huge tomb of the gods, because the roots of this tree go deep into the ground, while the branches and leaves break through the surface and reach the ground! It almost became a support point for this huge tomb, so when it started to move, it was also when the tomb began to collapse!
It was an extremely chaotic moment, but it was clear that no one wanted to sleep forever in the collapsed tomb! I don't know who started to take the lead, but one by one they began to climb higher up the tree trunk. Obviously, everyone knew that the tomb was buried deep in the ground, and they had to climb up to get out of the tomb. , Climb to the ground!
"Damn it, is this a thousand-year-old dryad?!" The vampire captain of the enemy team muttered in a low voice. It fell from the top, if it was hit, it would be inevitable to have a bloody head!
The top of the unseen tomb was pitch black, and the huge tree demon was shaking as if struggling, as if trying to shake off all the nasty humans on it! And it is still struggling to pull out its roots that are buried deep in the ground, which causes it to rise higher and higher, just like the seedlings buried in the soil are thriving and want to break through the cover of the soil and bathe in the warm sunshine .
This brought inconvenience to everyone's actions, especially the vampire captain. He really couldn't let go of his military adviser, so he simply asked the strong man to give him the woman, while he held the woman and spread his bat wings , and began to fly while jumping to a higher tree trunk.
"I said it's fair, right? Whoever can climb out of the ground first is the winner." The boy is no longer standing on the tree trunk, but suspended in the air, holding an umbrella in one hand and Feng Yu in the other Lan, such a small man carried a tall man with no difficulty at all, and he was not afraid of those rocks that fell unexpectedly from the dark top, his umbrella was a natural barrier.
"Luo Jian, find a way to climb up." The boy continued: "The first person to leave the secret room, which team he belongs to, his team will win, but only the members who leave smoothly can win the victory." At the same time, the team that is judged to be defeated will not count the dead, and the remaining team members will immediately enter the 'Punishment Chamber'."
Luo Jian didn't speak. He first looked at the tall tree that couldn't see the top. At this moment, their team was at a disadvantage. One team member was not present, one was taken hostage, and the rest...
Luo Jian turned his head and glanced at Duan Li next to him.
Duan Li didn't pay attention to the confrontation or dialogue between the two teams from the beginning to the end. He stared at Feng Yulan intently, as if he couldn't help it, and kept his hand on the Tang Dao he was holding, as if It is ready to snatch people back at any time.
"Duan Li." Luo Jian called him in a low voice, but Duan Li ignored him, still staring at Feng Yulan intently.
Feng Yulan remained silent, he was being carried by the boy all the time, and he also raised his head to look at Duan Li, his eyes were very soft.
But Duan Li still has the overall situation in mind, although he has always been used to doing whatever he wants, but at this critical moment, he seemed to have made some decision, looked back at Luo Jian, and said: "I will hold the enemy, you climb up."
Duan Li's thinking is indeed correct, and Duan Li himself is also worried about Alan, so Luo Jian can understand his decision. But at this moment, Luo Jian was frightened. He raised his head and looked at the tall tree that couldn't reach the top.
As long as she thinks that she will bear the fate of the entire team, Luo Jian will feel confused.
It's just that at this moment, although Duan Li and Luo Jian didn't have much friendship, and they were barely together as companions, but this time Duan Li seemed to see through Luo Jian's mind, and he slightly raised his own A mask, exposing his face to Luo Jian's eyes.
Half of the face was intact, but the other half was full of scars and hideousness.
"The scar on my face was left to me by a terrible enemy." Duan Li suddenly sneered, "I exchanged it for my life."
Luo Jian didn't quite understand what he meant and could only remain silent.
But Duan Li continued: "In this secret room that eats people and doesn't even spit out their bones, if you want to survive, you always have to pay some heavy price, even if it's something you never want to lose, but in order to survive, you have to pay a heavy price." have to abandon him."
"So... Luo Jian, if you want to live, run away by yourself, because no one will come to help you."
After Duan Li finished speaking, he raised the knife, turned around, and aimed at the boy in front of him.
Luo Jian gritted his teeth, jumped up, and climbed towards the higher place of the big tree. He was already far behind, and the highest climber was the vampire captain of the enemy team. Even though he still had a person in his arms, he It still has the advantage of flying, but, for some reason, the higher the vampire captain climbs, the more he no longer uses his wings to fly. He can only carry the woman on his back and use his hands and feet to climb rocks with difficulty.
Following the vampire captain was the taciturn, tall, burly man.
Luo Jian set off one step later, but his body was very flexible, and he didn't carry any extra weight. On the contrary, he was the fastest one.
"Is this okay?" The boy glanced at the people who were struggling to climb up. The towering tree was still trembling unscrupulously, and it was almost precarious to climb on it.
The boy sighed slightly, and said to Duan Li: "I have seen your extraordinary speed, in fact, as long as you don't care about anyone, you can easily reach the exit first, and your team will win because of it."
Duan Li paused, narrowed his eyes and looked at the boy: "But I'm not sure... Even if I escape the secret room first and win, you still have time to kill my companion, and... I can see Come on, your target... is Luo Jian, right?"
The boy spread his hands: "Is my purpose so obvious?"
"More than that, you're targeting him from beginning to end." Duan Li took a deep breath and raised the blade: "But no matter who you are or what purpose you have, it doesn't matter to me at all."
"Oh... I see." The boy landed Feng Yulan on a trembling branch, touched Alan's hand, and looked back at Duan Li: "Your goal is Feng Yulan."
The boy moved closer to Alan, his face was almost pressed against Alan, but his gaze was still on Duan Li: "You care about him."
Duan Li remained expressionless, and argued: "I signed a symbiotic contract with him, so I have to care about him."
The boy laughed: "But as far as I know, this contract is only imposed by you and is unilaterally effective, right? If you die, he will die with you, but if he dies, you can live a good life."
"It seems that you know a lot of things." Duan Li said, then paused.
The boy held Alan's hand, and felt that the other party was holding him instead, and then the boy smiled slightly: "Because I care about Alan very much."
Duan Li did not miss the small interaction between these two people, although this scene was very hidden.
So he said: "Actually, I'm not worried about what you will do to A Lan. The symbiosis contract allows me to occasionally feel the emotions of the contractor, but except for the very beginning, I can feel the emotions coming from him. Aside from some panic... From then on until you appeared in front of us, I didn't feel the restlessness and fear of being a hostage from A Lan."
"As for this, I can only guess two possibilities." Duan Li said: "Either you have completely hypnotized him and made him accept you and trust you. Or... it is that the two of you already have this kind of mutual trust emotions."
The boy seemed to be frozen for a second at that moment, and turned his head to look at Duan Li, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Duan Li laughed: "Actually, I don't know whether these two possibilities are the former or the latter, but my intuition tells me that it is the latter... In other words, the two of you knew each other from the beginning, maybe Ah Lan didn't know each other at first. Didn't recognize who you were, but later he recognized you and chose to help you."
"I respect his choice, so as long as you don't hurt him, I will choose to help you."
The boy suddenly laughed out loud, helplessly, as if he was laughing or crying, and he said: "I don't need your help, I just hope... If you really care about A-Lan, treat him more Be better."
As the boy spoke, he suddenly pulled Feng Yulan up and pushed him towards Duan Li. Duan Li instinctively withdrew his knife and reached out to catch him. When he hugged him into his arms, he looked up, but the boy was nowhere to be seen. up.
Feng Yulan grabbed Duan Li's clothes, raised her head and looked at Duan Li with wide eyes. Duan Li touched the head of the person in his arms and asked, "Is there no injury?"
A Lan shook her head, gripping Duan Li's clothes even tighter. After a while, he whispered Duan Li's name: "Duan Li..."
Duan Li responded, and then Ah Lan asked again, raising his eyelids and looking at Duan Li with bright eyes: "Do you like me?"
Duan Li just replied: "I don't know, I don't want to let you go, but I'm afraid of hurting you."
I'm not a good person, I'm bad, scumbag, and annoying. I've done a lot of things to hurt you. If you get too close, my blade will definitely cut you.
However, if you are too far away, your heart will hurt.
