The collapse of the hollow space inside the sacred tree caused all the objects and human bodies to fall to the bottom, that is, a deep pit collapsed inside the sacred tree.

The pit is funnel-shaped, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with an area of ​​more than 2000 square meters at the bottom. The outside light shines into the bottom of the pit through the huge vertical eye-shaped crack on the sacred tree, but because the tree crown blocks most of the sunlight, it leaks into the tree. There is not much light in the cave, and the "earthquake" has caused the air to be muddy and ruins are everywhere. It looks like a wasteland world.

The several parties each occupied a small area in this small world, and looked at each other defensively. Since the sacred tree was still shaking violently, they did not immediately attack each other, but put their energy into self-protection.

The party with the largest number of surviving people is the Taoyuan aborigines such as Uncle Chang. Since the "earthquake" was not far from the bottom, they were not injured when the ground sank. Although some people were injured by the falling wood from above, the overall Not much to lose.

The Southland Adventure Team had the second largest number of survivors. They were divided into two teams. Since the first team was in the bottom pyramid tree hole, they did not suffer any loss of personnel except for the man who was assassinated by Bi Li;

The second team was not so lucky. When they fell from a high place, one member unfortunately fell to his death, but the other four survived with their supernatural abilities and were in good health.

A total of eight people from the two teams survived. Except for one person who was seriously injured, the remaining seven people were all capable of fighting.

The last party was Ruo Pu and the others. There were five people and one cat in total. None of them were injured, but due to their small number, they seemed a bit weak compared to the other two parties.

"Wait there, I'll come!" Ruopu flew towards Shi Yan and them amidst the bumps on the ground and the occasional high-altitude throwing objects. Every step he ran, he smashed the ruins within two meters in diameter into small stone-like pieces. , in the current harsh environment, only people like him who can run while repairing roads can move freely.

This made the villagers of Taoyuan and the Southland Adventure Team who were lying under the wall, wanting to move but unable to move, feel sour.

——The two teams of them now want to go to the center of the big pit, where there is a sloping hole that emits light, through which they can enter the pyramid-shaped tree hole at the bottom of the sacred tree.

In the process of running, Ruo Pu came across several corpses. They had fallen from the top before, and they were already corpses before they fell. swept aside.

Then some Taoyuan villagers sighed with emotion: "There is really something wrong with the sacred tree. It used to recover these corpses..."

"Nonsense, of course there is something wrong with the inside collapsed! In the past, not to mention recovering corpses, it would also remove all foreign intruders, but now only a small part has been removed..."

"It was the poisonous smoke that affected it, but it should be better now. You see, the poisonous smoke is gradually dissipating."

Because the structure inside the tree collapsed, all the fires lit by the southern adventure team were extinguished, the old poisonous smoke was dissipating, and no new poisonous smoke was produced, so the air was gradually becoming harmless.

While the villagers in Taoyuan were talking about their little secrets, Ruo Pu rushed to Shi Yan and the others. He used the tree wall to buffer the momentum, then sat on the ground paved with broken wood, stretched out his hand and hugged Shi Yan's big cat beside him. In his arms, the whole process was completed in one go.

Shi Yan: "..."

Pei Yannian leaned against the wall and looked down at Ruopu: "Do you know what happened?"

Ruo Pu cleaned up the sawdust for the big cat and said, "The sacred tree can produce crystal essence, and most of the villagers have crystal essence. The sacred tree can also kill people, and the corpses on the ground are made by it.

"The people in the tree now, except the villagers and us, the others are from the southern border. The black smoke before was set on fire by them, which has an anesthetic effect..."

Pei Yannian said: "No, the black smoke is harmless to people."

"Ah?" Ruopu was puzzled, "But those villagers said that the black smoke made them dizzy..."

"Is it because they have crystal marrow in their bodies?"

Ruopu: "Perhaps, probably the divine tree influenced them—they said they would be affected by the divine tree, perhaps through the crystal essence? The anesthetic effect of the black smoke is actually used to deal with the divine tree. According to the villagers, those People from the southern border set fires like this many times in the forest on the way to Taoyuan, because the roots of the sacred tree are all over the forest, and setting fires elsewhere can poison the sacred tree. Also, those southerners also hired heaven Walker."

Speaking of this, Ruo Pu looked at the hole about 50 meters away from them that leaked light. Through the hole, there was a pyramid-shaped tree hole space inside, and Bi Li was in it. The humanoid objects of life fought, and with the sacred tree constantly shaking, this fight was very thrilling.

Ruo Pu hugged the cat with one hand, supported the ground with one free hand, and stood up with the rebound force of the shock wave. He wanted to enter the pyramid tree hole to join in the fun.

"I'll go over there and have a look." Just as he was about to start running, he hesitated. He had a cat in his hand...

The big cat patted Ruopu's arm, and jumped to the ground by himself.

Ruopu lowered his head and smiled at it, then kicked his feet on the ground and rushed towards the glowing hole.

The villagers of Taoyuan and the Southland adventure team were impatient and wanted to take action, but after they left the wall, they were shaken by a big tree and rushed to the ground. They did not have the ability to build roads. Now there are sharp wooden boards piled up on the ground Wood chips and slats, except for a few with thick skin and high defense, most of them were pierced and screamed as if they had fallen into a trap.

Ruopu is different. Although the ground is shaking, he can build roads. As long as the road is flat enough and the ground shakes a little, he will run in an S shape. If he falls, he will not fall. Well.

The big cat followed Ruopu, probably because it had four legs, it ran very steadily.

Ruopu rushed into the hole, Ruopu held on to the wall at the hole, the big cat stopped at his feet, one person and one cat looked into the tree hole, the first thing they saw was a luminous wooden slanted wall, the luminous thing should be the wall bryophytes;

Then I saw that there were many "wax figures" or weird corpses stored in this pyramid space of more than 200 square meters. They were composed of human bodies, wriggling red flesh and gray-brown branches. It turns out that there are still mutant mice in this forest.These corpses are moving slowly, as if slowly waking up, looking very scary;

Looking closer, there is a man with a blood-red abdomen lying on the wall near the entrance of the cave—it should be the man who was plotted against by Bi Li earlier, he should have been the captain of the southern border adventure team or something like that;

Looking up, one can see a man with squatting eyes squatting under the slanted wall opposite the hole. He maintains his balance by grasping a rope-like tree root hanging from the wall. He should be the Dong of Skywalker. have;

Standing by the adjacent wall is an ordinary-looking girl, she is watching Bi Li fight with "people", she should be Aqiao, the girl who pretended to be Ruo Pu's sister last night;

Bi Li was hugging a middle-aged man with almost no signs of life, and the two rolled back and forth on the ground as the sacred tree shook.

The upper body of the older man was naked, and there were several root-like things connected to it. The other end of the root sank into the wooden wall of the pyramid. They seemed to be the channel to maintain the man's life, and they seemed to restrict him. chain.

The thickest tree root was connected to the back of the man. It was cut in half, and a light pink liquid was oozing from the gap. After the liquid fell on the light-colored wooden floor, it quickly turned Gray out.

Ruo Pu said: "Excuse me, why are you fighting?"

The big cat looked up at Ruopu, then wagged its tail.

Bi Li: "..." I want to curse, but I can only curse in my heart for the time being.

"Because I shouldn't continue to exist." The older man showed a sad look, but then his face changed into an indifferent face, and he refuted himself, "You shouldn't exist, but disappear The best way should be to let me replace you, instead of joining forces with outsiders to seek death!"

Sad face: "Your harm to the Rain and Mist Forest is devastating. You want to control all creatures here. You have no right to do so, and no one has the right to do so."

Indifferent face: "So you want to die? Do you think it's over when you die? Do you think they really came here to kill you? You're so naive, they actually came here to take your black crystal ! Your death will not change anything! Even the situation will get worse!"

The sad face hesitated, and the indifferent face seized control of his body. He immediately turned over and pushed Bi Li to the floor. Many tree roots emerged from the floor, binding Bi Li's hands and feet.

Ruopu said: "Uncle, are you the village head of Taoyuan? If you are really harmful, I can kill you, and I can help you smash Heijing."

Bi Li, who was struggling, suddenly lost the motivation to fight. He lay still and sighed: "Talk slowly, I'll take a step first, so I don't get involved in the affairs here, is that okay?"

It's a pity that his words didn't splash a little.

Looking at Ruopu with an indifferent face: "Arrogance!"

Sad face: "I've seen you, your ability is very strong...you don't want Sombra?"

After gaining control of his body, he immediately untied Bi Li, but his hands were still on Bi Li's shoulders, and he didn't let him go completely free.

"The black crystal should be a kind of crystal essence, it can deepen the degree of human mutation, right?" Ruo Pu said, "I can become strong by myself, I don't need crystal essence, and I don't trust such Strange external force."

A cold face rushed out: "Even if you are strong, you can become stronger. You think you don't need it because you don't understand the situation at all. Let me tell you what black crystal is. It is the king of supernatural powers, and it can let you rule the world !"

His gaze was fixed on Ruo Pu, deep and fanatical, as if he thought that no one could refuse such power.

"It sounds very powerful," Ruo Pu said, "Hei Jing is the king of supernatural powers? Then what are the other crystal essences?"

"Yes—the puppet...is the king's soldier!" This sentence was finished in two tones.

"Can Sombra make puppets or soldiers by himself?"

Indifferent face: "That's right, we can create the most loyal soldiers who will never betray!"

"The crystal essence is made by black crystal, how did the black crystal come from?"

The indifferent face hesitated, as if he didn't want to tell Ruopu this information, but the sad face was full of self-destructive tendencies, and he didn't mind exposing these important information: "The black crystal comes from a meteorite, and the star iron can block the black crystal."

"Oh! The Rain and Mist Forest is one of the places where the meteorite fell. You came into contact with the meteorite and then absorbed the black crystals in the meteorite. However, did you absorb it or did this tree absorb it?"

"We were together, the explosion caused by the falling meteorite caused a fire, burned the sacred tree, and seriously injured me..."

"Village head!" Two thick-skinned villagers rushed to the entrance of the cave after struggling all the way. Ruopu and Big Mao moved a little to the side to make way for them, but they didn't do anything to Ruopu. , they stumbled into the tree hole, "You are injured, village chief, who did it?!"

The eyes of the two fell on Bi Li who was on the ground, they rushed up, their fists swelled, as if they wanted to destroy Bi Li humanely on the spot——

Unexpectedly, the two changed their attack directions at the last moment. They hit the top of the pyramid, and the power that could distort the air rushed upwards, tearing open the wooden wall, boom!The top of the pyramid was lifted off, and a big hole connected the space above with the pyramid tree hole.

At the same time, the waxwork corpses in the pyramid suddenly came alive, and they rushed towards Ruopu and other outsiders.

On the other side, the roots attached to the village chief suddenly tightened and hardened. They lifted the village chief out of the pyramid, and then fell off from the village chief. The village chief cut off the root at the back of his back Half of the pipeline was torn off, and he became a free man. He looked down at the inside of the pyramid with a cold face, turned and walked away.

Bi Li laughed and got up from the ground: "Just now he chatted with you so much, he was just stalling for time, finally his poison was cured and his strength recovered..."

He said this to Ruo Pu.
