I can't play this game

I used this to protect Jingyang, Ayue and myself who fell when it collapsed in the Black Tower of the Demon Forest, and it really worked.

Song Qian, Chen Ke and Eggplant had also used it with Ji Han in Kunlun Mountain before, so they naturally knew the protective effect of this ball.

Seeing that the collapse was about to come here, Ji Han hurriedly released the temporary protective ball, and the four of them were wrapped in it in a blink of an eye, and Song Qian put another amulet on the inside of the ball.

Just as Ji Han put the devil's tentacles into the ball as stuffing, the stone house collapsed, and Ji Han and the others also fell down along with the protective ball.

Instead of falling vertically like in the black tower, the four of them felt that the sphere seemed to hit many things this time.

The four people in the ball dangled around before stopping, but the four were not in a hurry to get out.

On the one hand, it was indeed hit hard enough. On the other hand, although it felt that the sphere had landed, the surrounding vibrations had not stopped, and it seemed that there were still stones falling.

After staying inside for quite a while, Ji Han removed the one-time protective ball.

The four barely stood up, threw the lighting sticks around, and the surrounding situation became clear.

The first thing that caught my eye was the surrounding stone houses. I would not have known that there were so many stone houses without falling down, and many of them were not broken.

Stones of different colors, black, white and gray gathered around, but not as many as expected.

At this time, I don't know whose flashlight was shining on the top of the head first, and everyone saw thick tree roots lying on the top of everyone's head.

"Grass, this tree grows really deep enough, there are also here?"

Song Qian wondered:

"How could it collapse suddenly?"

Chen Ke guessed:

"Maybe the upper layer was created by that old fellow Dizu relying on his ability."

Ji Han roughly confirmed the direction and said:

"Don't talk about other things, let's think about how to get out. That aspect should be the location of the divine pillar. It shouldn't be difficult to find that passage by climbing up there by relying on the roots of the tree."

Eggplant threw a lighting stick forward, and confirmed again that the ground under his feet was not smashed and collapsed:

"It should be no problem. The ground here is not paved with bricks, but it is very solid."

Everyone picked up the place in the middle where there were no stone houses falling down, and some fallen stone houses on both sides were still standing in place.

Ji Han couldn't help exclaiming:

"The quality of the houses in that era was good. They can basically remain the same after falling from such a high height. You still have a few houses that collapsed."

Eggplant nodded and said:

"When I came down, I felt quite strange. We saw many stone houses collapsed from above, and there were so many tree roots on the top of the head, but they didn't collapse after falling!"

Chen Ke didn't respond, but observed with a flashlight, and then walked towards a relatively complete stone house next to him.

Afraid of further danger, Ji Han shouted:

"Hey, Chen Ke, let's go quickly."

Chen Ke kicked a stone from the stone house in front of him, looked down and looked around, then said:

"Brother Ji, no, these are not fallen stone houses, these stone houses were originally below."

Ji Han didn't understand what Chen Ke meant for a while, so he walked over with Song Qian and Eggplant.

Chen Ke pointed to the stone house in front of him and said:

"There is a lot of mud inside and outside these stone houses, and there are earth stoves inside. It is true that some people have lived in them for a long time. This house should always be here. The gravel that fell on it is the stones that fell from the top of the stone house."

Ji Han changed Chen Ke's words and asked:

"You mean to say that there were many stone houses once built under the floor we fell to, that is, this floor, and there were really people who lived there for a long time?"

Chen Ke nodded.

Eggplant opened his mouth wide and asked:

"Ah? This is also the first floor? Will there be another floor below? Playing with dolls? Then there will be another Earth Ancestor waiting for us here?"

Eggplant's words reminded Ji Han, not to mention that the real boss is the ancestor of this floor.

But looking back and taking photos, it is a complete mess here, not to mention the open space steles and coffins on the upper floor, there should be no more ancestors.

Chen Ke took a flashlight and looked into the room and said:

"I'm not too sure about this, but to be honest, the houses here are more like the real residences of people of that era than the upper floor and the stone houses in the consciousness world."

Ji Han was also confused by these words. He thought that there are residences in the three layers including the consciousness world, but are the people living in the three layers really the same group?

Or is it like restarting the matrix again and again in "The Matrix", these are all areas that have been abolished by restarting?

"Chen Ke, do you think it's possible that the world was left behind after the 'Matrix Restart'?"

Chen Ke nodded and said:

"Brother Ji, I also think there is such a possibility."

Eggplant didn't understand what kind of riddle Ji Han and the others were playing, and asked:

"What 'matrix reboot'?"

Ji Han materialized the consciousness world of the ancestors he had just thought about, and then let the people of Dizu Village live here. Later, for some reason, this place was deposed, and created the consciousness world that the four people had just been trapped in. He told Eggplant and Song Qian about his conjecture.

This is like in "The Matrix", because the created world is not perfect enough to cause a crash, it will restart to create a new world again.

Song Qian suddenly realized:

"If this is the case, there is really no guarantee that there are no other such lost villages here."

Eggplant frowned and said:

"Ji Han, isn't this too mysterious? How about creating layers of worlds and playing "Inception"?"

"Xuan? You have to know that they might really be able to live longer in that kind of conscious world, and they don't have to work hard. For them, it's like a fairy life, but I'm just guessing. After all, there are indeed such things as above. Similar buildings."

Song Qian continued:

"However, the people in Ancestral Village here will not be able to live forever. After all, their bodies cannot truly last forever, that is, life has become simpler and more ideal. Alright, Chen Ke, it's important for us to leave here as soon as possible. .”

"Okay, here we come."

Speaking of which, Chen Ke also walked out of the ruins of the stone house, and the four of them headed towards the position directly below the sacred tree together.

Although the stones above the head have already fallen, they will basically not pose any threat to everyone.

But those tree roots on the top of the head are entangled with each other, which makes people look uncomfortable, except for Ji Han, because he is with spiders every day in the demon forest, and he is used to seeing them.

However, many tree roots were connected to the ground, which slowed down the progress of Ji Han and the others.

Eggplant scolded:

"Grass, it feels like walking in a rainforest."

Chen Ke explained:

"Normal phenomenon. The Earth Ancestor can manipulate these tree roots. It should be that it manipulated these tree roots to stabilize the stone above. After it died, the tree roots could not support them and fell down."

Ji Han reminded:

"Try not to damage these tree roots, because I don't know if the mucus inside will affect us, and look for any wounds on your body. Don't forget that this sacred tree is bloodthirsty, especially the wound on your hand, Chen Ke. "

Chen Ke raised his hand and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Ji, it has been cured with the potion you gave."

It is not convenient for drones to fly in this kind of place, Song Qian continued to throw the lighting stick forward.

But this time the lighting stick hit something before it hit the ground, and Song Qian saw a figure while the lights were shaking.

"Someone!"

The flashlights of Ji Han and the others immediately followed suit.

A corpse hanging from a huge tree root appeared in front of Ji Han and the others. Although the corpse looked completely decayed, the tiny tree roots that bound him still formed a human-shaped cage around the person.

The entire cage was slightly shaken by Song Qian's flashlight.

Eggplant frowned and said:

"I said Chen Ke, is it normal to have corpses hanging on trees like this?"

Chen Ke smiled bitterly and said:

"I don't understand that."

There are stone house ruins on both sides, and it is unrealistic to drill through, Ji Han whispered:

"Shhh, go and have a look first."

The four of them approached the corpse cautiously with their waists down. Now that they came close, they felt that the human-shaped tree root cage was like a set of torture tools.

The tree roots that trapped people came down from the thick roots above and hung half a meter above the ground.

The corpse of the person inside has decayed to the point where only the mottled bones remain, but the bones in all parts of the body are still basically in place. One can imagine how tight the tree roots are wrapped outside.

Eggplant took a flashlight to shine on the inside of the human-shaped tree root cage, and said in surprise:

"Fuck me, this fucking Iron Maiden!"

Ji Han didn't react, thinking it was another eggplant's dirty joke:

"What Iron Maiden?"

Unexpectedly, Eggplant pointed to the inside of the cage and said:

"See for yourself."

Getting closer, I saw that inside the human-shaped cage, there were sharp small tree roots, and all of them were facing inwards. It was obvious that these thorns were stuck on the body of the person in the cage.

Looking closely, there are still small pits on the remaining bones of the man. One can imagine how deep the roots of these small trees were at that time.

The iron maiden mentioned by Eggplant is similar to a torture instrument and execution device used for execution, torture or punishment in medieval Europe, just like a humanoid iron cabinet.

Tie the prisoner in between, and then close the two sides, and many protruding spikes on the frame will penetrate into the victim's body.The sharp front end of the nail slowly penetrates the body, first the wrist, then the feet and other parts, and then the eyes, shoulders and buttocks.The torture process is very painful, but it will not kill the victim immediately.

During this period, they kept making miserable screams, and sometimes they wailed continuously for several days before they lost too much blood and died.

Ji Han couldn't help but wondered:

"Damn it, did this stuff really grow on tree roots?"

Chen Ke frowned and said:

"I don't know if it grew naturally or was made artificially. Maybe it was a torture tool from their era. They worshiped this sacred tree very much, and it is very possible to sacrifice it in this way."

Eggplant looked at the area ahead that was not illuminated by the lighting stick, as if he had discovered something by relying on his superior vision.

He frowned and threw out another lighting stick, this time the lighting stick would illuminate a farther place.

I saw human cages hanging on the ground at a height of more than half a meter from the ground in front of me.

High and low, well-proportioned, the cages are as dense as fruits hanging on a tree.

If you ignore the environment here, then the scene in front of you has to be described as a group version of "Hanging on the Southeast Branch".

Ji Han and the others looked up in horror, and no one spoke for a while.

It was still the eggplant that broke the tranquility first:

"If this is a sacrifice, the scale is too big, right? Are there so many people in their village?"

Chen Ke also nodded and said:

"Yes, this is definitely not a sacrifice, damn it, it's too bloody."

Song Qian reminded:

"Be careful. You see, these cages are made of tree roots. Maybe they were formed by the bloodthirsty and murderous tree."

Ji Han also grows his airway:

"When I first saw the word Dizu Village, I was still joking that this place might be Zhen Yuanzi's territory? Looking at these corpses hanging on the trees now, they are simply another version of ginseng fruit trees."

Chen Ke frowned and said:

"Brother Ji, now is not the time to use your imagination, what should you do next?"
