i can hear your voice

After entering the depths of the tree hole, Ruo Pu gradually slowed down—he didn't stop suddenly like the previous time. He hid the sound of his footsteps and walked silently away from the villagers who were chasing him.

After Uncle Chang's group all entered the tree, the sacred tree closed the door and shut the light out of the tree.

The villagers held up their flashlights and looked around: "He's gone. I saw him running that way just now. He should be hiding."

There is a lot of space in the tree, but it is not a transparent space that can be seen at a glance, but is crooked and irregular in shape. It is quite difficult to find a person hiding here.

"Leave him alone, let's put out the fire first." Uncle Chang called the villagers away.

Ruopu quietly monitored their actions, and at the same time used sound waves to detect the structure in the tree. The space here is a bit weird. There are many tree holes in the tree. They are big and small, high and low, like a pile Foam.

I, Uncle Chang and others are now in a tree hole that is tangent to the ground, but their tree hole is not the bottom hole, and there are other tree holes below the ground.

The tree hole at the bottom is very interesting. It is pyramid-shaped. There are five people in it. They should be members of the Southland Adventure Team. I don’t know what they are doing in that tree hole. Could there be something special in it?

On the ground, or in other words, there are many more tree holes in the air than underground, just as air bubbles cannot sink to the bottom of the water, but will naturally surge to the surface of the water.

Shi Yan and the others are now in a tree hole in the air. Besides them, there is a small group of four people in the higher air, which should be 50 meters above the ground. This group of people should also be an adventurer in the southern border. team.

However, the total of these two groups is only nine people, and the wounded in the village, no matter how counted, there are not more than 20 people. Where did the few people go?

"There's a fire over there!" Ruo Pu heard a villager from Uncle Chang's side say, it seems that they found the fire.

"There are two dead bodies here!"

"Among those people from Zhongzhou?"

"No, it's a new face."

Ruo Pu thought to himself, it should be a member of the Southern Border Adventure Team, who actually died here, how did he die?It seems that this tree is quite dangerous, so be careful.

"Uncle Chang, come over and have a look, why can't this fire be extinguished?"

"It's a supernatural substance," said Uncle Chang. "Fortunately, the fire is small and spreads slowly."

"I seem to be a little dizzy..." Someone said.

"Me too."

"I……"

Several people complained of dizziness one after another.

"Old fat, let's see what's going on!" Uncle Chang was a little anxious.

"There's something wrong with the fire, no, it's the smoke. No, it should be the ash. The ash in the smoke and the ash on the ground have an anesthetic effect..."

The smoke in this tree hole is not thick, not choking, so everyone didn't take much protection, but they didn't expect the smoke to be famous.

When Ruo Pu heard the effect of anesthesia, his heart shuddered, and he quickly held his breath, but he always needed to breathe... He had to join Shi Yan and the others as soon as possible, Dr. Pei's medical ability should prevent people from being anesthetized.

This tree hole is connected to several tree holes above, but the entrances are all on the top, six or seven meters from the ground.

Ruo Pu thought about how he was going to go up, using the explosive shock wave to jump up?

"No, we have to go to the village chief!" Uncle Chang's voice changed a bit.

Ruopu "saw" that he led the villagers towards a downward entrance.

"Uncle Chang, what happened to the village chief?"

"He should have been plotted against, just like us." Uncle Chang said, "It's no wonder that many of you have been emotionally unstable these days. It turns out that the poison of the sacred tree has affected you."

"Everyone has been in a bad state for the past few days...but the smoke only came out today. The bad state before should have nothing to do with the smoke, right?"

Uncle Chang: "It's related. You should all remember that there have been many fires in the south of the forest in the past few days, which inevitably produced a lot of poisonous soot. God, to hurt this forest is to hurt it. Damn people from the southern border, they are so despicable and shameless!"

Ruopu recalled it, but he didn't notice that there have been many fires in the rainy and foggy forest recently, probably too far away... However, he remembered the time when they were targeted by the big eagle, and at the end it was a group of running people in the distance Animals attracted the eagles away, and those animals suddenly made such a loud noise, maybe there was a fire or other disaster that endangered their safety.

However, that place is very far away from Taoyuan, so it is not true that as Uncle Chang said, the sacred tree is the god of this forest, and doing something to this forest is tantamount to doing something to the sacred tree...

Impossible, the sacred tree is just a god in the hearts of Taoyuan people, and Taoyuan is covered under its canopy...

Wait, Ruo Pu's heart suddenly moved, no matter how big the canopy of the sacred tree is, it is still a hill, but its roots under the ground may be very developed, far more than a hill.

Ruopu began to use sound waves to probe the ground. The root system of the sacred tree is like a tree that grows upside down. It branches infinitely in the soil and stretches infinitely far away. They rushed out of Taoyuan, crossed Junjiang, and crossed mountains and valleys... …

Ruo Pu's expression was ugly, if the area that the root system could reach was within the rule of the sacred tree, then this forest seemed to be really under the control of this giant tree.

"Uncle Chang, if the sacred tree is poisoned, it means that the village chief is also poisoned. Why didn't he tell us about such a matter of life and death?"

Uncle Chang didn't answer, and said in a low tone: "Stop talking."

Ruo Pu is in a hurry, stop, keep talking, tell me what is the relationship between your village chief and the sacred tree!

"The people above are coming down." Someone from the five-person adventure team in the pyramid spoke in Zhongzhou language.

Ruopu was surprised, huh?This person has the same means of monitoring other people's whereabouts as himself?Also, this voice was vaguely familiar... He thought of Xu Jun, and then understood that this person should also be one of the Skywalkers.

According to the investigation of the Ability Bureau, there is an alienated person among the Skywalkers who has the ability of clairvoyance, and his name is Dong You.

"Who? Our people? Or people from Zhongzhou?" A voice pressed his throat and asked.

"No, our people are still setting fire on it. They have already climbed very high. The people from Zhongzhou are still on it." Dong Youdao, "It is the people from Taoyuan who have come down."

"how many people?"

Dong You: "If there are more than 20 people, they may all be alienated with supernatural powers."

"There are so many awakened people in this village," said the third voice. This person is also male like the two who spoke before, but compared to the other two, his tone is more inclined to the leader. "This tree has been It has been smoked for so long, and based on my experience, its actions should be very slow, so let's do it."

On the other side, Uncle Chang and the others had just entered a tree hole below the ground, and a villager was saying in a relieved tone, "There's no narcotic smoke here..."

Ruopu: You didn't say it earlier!

He quickly ran to another entrance leading to the ground.This hole is very narrow, and some places are too small for people to pass through smoothly, but this does not bother him, he can use his abilities to widen the road.

"You, what are you doing?!" There was a voice of astonishment and panic coming from the urn-shaped tree hole. The owner of this voice was the leader's tone that Ruo Pu heard just now.

"Those who reduce the spoils. I'm sorry." The man who spoke in a low voice said, "But don't worry, you won't die. I dare not kill you." He laughed.

This laughter is very distinctive, which makes Ruo Pu feel a little strange, he has heard someone laugh like this before, and that person is - Bi Li.Although the voice of this person is different from Bi Li's before, and the sound of laughter is also different, but the ups and downs of the laughter are the same, this person should be Bi Li.

"Why? Do you think the commission is too low?"

"I didn't come here for money." Bi Li said with a smile.After Ruo Pu recognized who he was, his false voice lost its voice-changing effect in Ruo Pu's ears. "Like you, I am also for Sombra."

"What Sombra? What do you mean?"

"Tsk, stop pretending." Bi Li said, "Ah Qiao, you won't rob me, will you?"

"No... I'll go out now." This was also a familiar voice, the voice of "his sister" that Ruopu heard last night.

Bi Li smiled and said, "Don't go, I still need your help."

Aqiao: "...Oh."

"Come on, cut it off." Bi Li said in an encouraging tone.

Aqiao's voice trembled: "I, I..."

Bi Li urged: "Quick! Use your strength!"

Ruo Pu, Uncle Chang and the others approached the pyramid from both ends. Ruo Pu scanned the inside of the pyramid carefully, wondering what exactly Bi Li asked the girl to chop.

Then he discovered that the inside of the pyramid tree hole was very strange. He was mainly concerned about the living people before, and he didn't pay much attention to objects without obvious life characteristics. Now he looked carefully, and he saw that there were many corpses in the pyramid tree hole. Like the wax figures in the wax museum, they are distributed in the tree hole sitting or standing.

A Qiao raised her knife and chopped it down, hitting a rope or branch as thick as her arm, and the liquid splashed...

Ruopu refreshed his thoughts based on what he "saw": No, it was not a rope or a branch, but a pipe.

This knife seemed to be chopped on the seven inches of the sacred tree, it shook, and for a moment, the people in the tree were shaken as if they were experiencing an earthquake.

The foamy holes in the tree burst one after another, and the people in the holes stepped on the ground and fell one after another.

Ruo Pu covered himself with a vibratory wave shield, and the falling wooden blocks immediately disappeared like ice cubes turning into water vapor after touching his shield. He looked up and "looked" at Shi Yan and the others , quickly thinking about how to catch them, suddenly, they disappeared...

Ruo Pu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it should be Lin Zirui's ability.

Two seconds later, Shi Yan and the others reappeared in the air. After falling down for a certain distance, they disappeared again. After a while, they reappeared... After repeated several times, they fell to the ground at the bottom.

However, there was a certain distance between where they landed and where Ruo Pu was, so Ruo Pu hurried to their side.
