Urban Oddities: Soul Contract

Chapter 31 The Giant Tree of the Abyss

"The wound is not deep, and it will heal in a few days." Zheng Chuanchuan bandaged Yan Shi and sat aside with a cigarette in his mouth.

Yan Shi touched his leg, there was a yellow-brown lump, sticky and smelly, and oozing out through the gauze, no matter how you looked at it, it was not pleasing to the eye.

"What kind of medicine is this? It feels so strange..."

Zheng Chuanchuan took out the medicine and threw it to Yan Shi, telling him to look at it himself.

On the small medicine bottle, there are three big words of anti-inflammatory medicine written on it, and after turning the bottle, there are a few lines of small words: Sterilize to stop bleeding, side effects are unknown, and the ingredients are kept secret.

Even Zheng Chuanchuan didn't dare to use the stuff developed by those lunatics in Tiandi Pharmaceutical.

Just right, there are mice to cooperate.

The little white mouse sat for a while with a stern face, the wound was painful and itchy, and after a few minutes it became like soaking in an ice spring, and the chill was quite comfortable.

The little white mouse put the medicine in its pocket and said without knowing it, "I'll take the medicine in my pocket, right?"

Zheng Chuanchuan said generously, "Take it if you like it."

After Yan Shi finished smoking a cigarette and just stood up, everyone stared at him in unison.

Yan Shi made a gesture of surrender: "Don't get excited, my legs are numb from sitting, so get up and walk around."

In the stone chamber, gravity returned to normal.

Like degaussing, the reversed gravitational force has completely disappeared.

General Chu Gan also stood up, stomped his feet on the ground, and sighed: "It's incredible, landing in a straight line, and returning to the starting point."

Du Jiajun speculated: "The abyss is also a ring space. It is not only space that is reversed in direction, but also gravity. Its complexity and magnitude are beyond our comprehension."

"Team leader, what do you think?" Chu Moxie asked Yan Shi.

Yan Shi thought for a while and explained: "To form this kind of environment, there must be a high-intensity external force."

"E.g?"

"magnetic field."

Du Jiajun wanted to come to General Chu's mobile phone, but the screen was pitch black, the magnetic field was too strong, and electronic products could not be used.

Not long ago, General Chu Gan used his mobile phone to take pictures of the green crystal, but at such a close distance, the mobile phone was not affected.

The sacred tree itself has a magnetic field, but its magnetic field is not enough to distort space.

The powerful power to distort space is not emanating from the sacred tree.

In the abyss, besides the sacred tree, are there other things?

Yan Shi lingered for a few steps, as if he had made up his mind, but before he could speak, he was knocked to the ground by other people.

"Fuck! What are you doing?!" Yan Shi was crushed and couldn't move.

"I know what you want to do!" Chu Moxie said.

"How do you know what I'm going to do?!"

"Your eyes and movements betray you!"

"Then you say you know what I'm going to do?!" Yan Shi was incoherent with anger.

"Down, deep, abyss!" Everyone said in unison.

His mind was broken, Yan Shi raised his face and remained silent.

"Team leader, as soon as you stick up your butt, we will know what you are going to fart." General Chu said.

Yan Shi was furious and laughed back: "If you don't let go of farts, are you still holding back?"

"At least brew it!" Everyone said in unison.

Going down to the abyss, the result is the same, the starting point is also the end point, it is simply impossible to find a breakthrough in the vast and dark ring space.

"This fart is really not easy to brew." Yan Shi sighed.

"We can't break through, what about the tree?" Du Jiajun is indeed a fan of science fiction, and he can always make a blockbuster when it comes to ideas.

Everyone was deep in thought, with different expressions. Before Huo Minghai could figure it out, Yan Shi had already figured it out. He laughed and slapped his thigh with excitement.

The sacred tree has roots, it grows in the abyss, and it stretches its branches to the ground for hunting!

With its huge size, it abruptly broke through the ring space!

Follow the branches, you can break through the ring space and find the main branch!

But... is it that simple?

"The only ones who are not affected by the sacred tree are me and Huo Minghai." After Yan's voice fell, the big spider raised its paw.

The big spider was loyal and determined, and the sacred tree could not affect it at all.

"Okay, and Zhu Lang." Yan Shi added.

but the rest...

Thinking of them being hypnotized and treating the sacred tree as a desert spring, Yan Shi felt a bit of fear.

"Just think about something else and distract yourself," Chu Moxie said.

At the entrance of the village, he only thought about his younger brother and saved him from the green crystal.

As long as there is enough will, you can resist the hypnosis of the crystal.

Yan Shi nodded, and said to Huo Minghai: "We also have to keep an eye on who has been tricked, and wake him up immediately."

Just then, there was a loud knock on the floor—boom!

Everyone turned their heads to look at General Chu. The voice sounded like General Chu stabbing the floor with his sword.

General Chu Gan was lying on the ground, listening to where the sound came from.

Quietly.

The sound didn't sound again.

"Strange, what is it?" Chu Moxie also lay on the ground listening.

"Down...isn't there something else?" Huo Minghai was sweating profusely.

"what?"

"That... girl..."

After being reminded by Huo Minghai, everyone was stunned.

That's right, there is also a female corpse with a comminuted fracture all over her body!

Could it be that she made the sound? !

Everyone's faces turned ugly. If the female corpse could move and knock on the floor as a door, what else could it be if it wasn't a ghost?

"I'll go down and have a look!" As Yan Shi said, he lifted the floor and poked his head down. After a while, his body shook violently.

Du Jiajun and Huo Minghai, who were pressing him, suddenly became tense, and Chu Moxie also leaned over to drill into the hole. Unexpectedly, after Chu Moxie poked his head down, his body also shook.

"What did you see?! Is it really a fake corpse?!" Zheng Chuanchuan asked loudly, seeing that they didn't answer, he stuck his head out.

At a glance, Zheng Chuanchuan's eyes widened.

Where is the fraudulent corpse!What is in front of me is simply something more terrifying!

A green branch stabbed up from the abyss at some point!

The sound just now was made by the branch poking on the floor!

"Its target... is your blood..." Chu Moxie's voice rang in Yan Shi's ear.

Yan Shi just stared at the branch, his mind went blank.

The thorn on the branch was sideways, and there was still half a meter away from the bloodstain left by Yan Shi.

Why, it didn't move again?

After waiting for a few minutes, a little green light lit up from the abyss, and it went up the branches at an extremely fast speed. When it reached the top, the branches moved and rubbed against the circuit board, making teeth-stinging creaks. Make a sound, move over, and absorb the blood.

"I understand! It's too big, and it takes a long time for the brain center to issue instructions to reach the branches!" Zheng Chuanchuan suddenly realized.

Yan Shi stared at the branch, thinking in his heart, which direction will it move next?

"Hey! Still watching? Aren't you afraid it will eat you?!" Chu Gan said to his brother.

Yan Shi finally came back to his senses and shouted: "Everyone go up! Everyone go up!!"

The branches are only a few meters away from the entrance of the cave, and the food is right in front of them. The next time they move, they might poke it up!

"I thought it wouldn't eat the team leader, but when he bleeds a little, it can't wait to run up." Chu Moxie covered the floor.

"The team leader's skin is thick and it doesn't taste good, but the blood is still delicious." General Chu Gan said.

"The sacred tree doesn't eat rotten things, otherwise, the female corpse would be gone long ago." Du Jiajun said.

Huo Minghai concluded: "Only eat fragrant ones, not bad ones."

The fragrant people looked at the smelly Yan Shi.

Yan Shi gave up on himself: "Well, my skin is thick, dirty and smelly! What do you think it looks like?"

Crowd: "Pig."

pig:"……"

"If you want to leave, you have to hurry up. When it blocks the door, we don't want to go down." Zheng Chuanchuan calculated silently in his heart, and there were still a few minutes before the next move of the branch.

Yan Shi nodded and hooked his hands at the big spider.

The big spider treated the men equally regardless of whether they smelled good or bad, tied the men into big clubs, pried open the floor, and slid down with ease.

This time, the big spider did not descend in a hurry, but crawled upside down under the floor, moving sideways with a big stick.

While the big spider was crawling, Huo Minghai stared closely at the big branch that was getting farther away, for fear that it would suddenly sweep over.

"The sacred tree is very slow. It takes a long time to move once." Zheng Chuanchuan signaled everyone to pay attention to the flashing green light on the branch, "Look, that's the signal transmitted by the neurons."

"……Then?"

"Then, it moved."

The green light flowed to the top, and the branches rubbed against the circuit board and pointed to the entrance of the stone room, as if they wanted to push through the floor and get in. It thought the little fresh meat was inside!

"Looks like it's really hungry."

The moment he passed by the female corpse, a thought suddenly flashed in Zheng Chuanchuan's mind.

The last sacrifice to the sacred tree was a long-dead woman!

Before being used as a sacrifice, the female corpse had already rotted, and the priest threw her down, but the sacred tree refused to eat it, so...

"Oops!" Zheng Chuanchuan's face turned pale, "So the last sacrifice was a failure! The sacred tree didn't eat anything at all!"

Things can be said to be terrible. The days of Shenshu's hunger are far longer than Zheng Chuanchuan thought!

How could a hungry monster be willing to let go of a group of fresh meat delivered to his door?

The green light flashed, and the branch creaked and chased them for a while, and after it stopped, it was left far behind by the big spider.

Horizontal movement was as boring as vertical landing. Huo Minghai was nervous for a long time, and finally his eyelids were clenched, and he unconsciously buried himself in Du Jiajun's neck and fell asleep.

Everyone took the opportunity to catch up on sleep, and when they woke up, the big spider was still crawling, and the branches were still following far behind.

"It's really strange. I don't know what the tree's brain looks like?" Zheng Chuanchuan said.

"The problem lies in the roots of the sacred tree." Yan Shi said, "It grows so huge, there must be something supporting it."

"Alien soil?" Chu Moxie raised his head and looked at Yan Shi hanging above.

Yan Shi closed his eyes and meditated, pretending not to hear.

"Where do you think the team leader dug the soil?" Chu Moxie asked his brother.

"Maybe it's not something from the earth?" Chu Gan will sing along with his brother.

"Huhu..." Yan Shi pretended to be asleep.

"Leader, your Slubby is out again."

"..." Yan Shi hurriedly touched his buttocks, what, he was clearly dressed properly, how could it be exposed!

"I made a mistake just now. It should be that the trouser chain was not pulled, and the Slubby in front ran out." General Chu Gan said.

Believe me again, you are a pig!Yan Shi continued to pretend to sleep.

"Really, team leader, touch it if you don't believe me."

Yan Shi really touched the front, well, he admitted that he really forgot to pull it...

The big spider has climbed to the end, and a few meters away, you can see the rugged rock wall. It controls the mallet and starts to land. Who knows that after falling, the silk thread suddenly vibrates. When everyone looks up, a green light flashes in the darkness. A branch suddenly snapped off, with its sharp point pointing towards the little fresh meats, looking like a tiger stalking it.

The Divine Tree was very slow, but they ignored the moving distance of the man and chased him after only a few steps.

They were too busy looking up, completely oblivious to the movement below. When another branch came up from the abyss, the big spider swung vigorously, driving a big mallet and barely passing the green crystal.

After the adventure, it returned to silence. The branches were waiting for the next round of orders. There were still many branches in the abyss that were about to pierce up. Before they moved, they had to find a safe place to hide!

According to the flashlight, there are many caves of different sizes on the mountain wall.

The big spider flicked a silk thread and connected it to the mountain wall, ready to land.

"No!" Yan Shi immediately objected, "The space in the cave is too narrow, if a branch gets in, can we still live?"

Chu Moxie's voice sounded: "Team leader, it's impossible not to go in."

"What?"

"Look below."

Yan Shi lowered his head and looked, well, it turned out that a few huge branches protruded from the mountain wall, and the area was as large as a baffle. If they didn't enter the cave, they would hit the crystal!

The big spider approached the shore slowly, and finally landed in a cave about two meters high.

The shape of the hole is very regular, and it is an out-and-out circle. They suddenly had the illusion of walking in the pipeline. After more than ten meters, there was a turning point in front of them. When they turned around, the light of the wolf-eyed flashlight illuminated a twist.

"The surfaces of these holes are too smooth, they don't seem to be formed naturally." Chu Ganjiang touched the rock wall, and his eyes became dazed.

"Governor?" Chu Moxie sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly called him. Chu Ganjiang's body swayed, and suddenly threw himself on the wall frantically, pulling with his bare hands, as if he wanted to dig a hole to get through.

Chu Moxie immediately rewarded him with a chestnut, knocking Chu Ganjiang awake.

Yan Shi knocked on the wall, thoughtfully said: "We are very close to the crystal now, maybe a certain branch is next door, be careful, don't be confused!"

"Does it hurt?" Chu Moxie touched his younger brother's head.

It hurts, the strike is too harsh!My brain is about to explode!

General Chu Gan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Chu Moxie kissed his younger brother, and issued the overlord's terms: "Concentrate on me."

"..."

Chu Moxie raised her eyebrows: "No more, I want to kiss you!"

"……Um."

Chu Moxie still kissed her, and said lip to lip: "Too soft, it doesn't count."

In contrast, Zheng Chuanchuan looked very calm, touched the rock wall and said, "It's not so much a cave as it is a trajectory formed by the movement of branches."

"Track?"

"The rock wall seems to be rubbed out, and a naturally formed cave can never have this appearance." Zheng Chuanchuan adjusted his glasses, "You can imagine it as poking your finger into a piece of cake."

On the mountain wall, large and small caves are all created by the movement of branches. Deep in the mountain, the sacred tree is there!

There was a fork in front of them, Yan Shi told them to stay put and wait, and go to explore the way first, Chu Ganjiang and Chu Moxie also held hands and followed.

They didn't know what was waiting for them just a few minutes later.

Zheng Chuanchuan sat on the ground, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and gave one to Du Jiajun. The two smoked and stared at Huo Minghai.

Huo Minghai was so restless by their staring, he had no choice but to talk about a topic that stinks so badly.

"Hehe, I don't know if this place... is the hypnosis of the divine tree great?"

"Big." Zheng Chuanchuan nodded, "If you don't pay attention, the idea of ​​digging the wall pops up."

"Oh……"

Zheng Chuanchuan tapped on the rock wall on his back: "I see, there is a crystal branch behind this one! It feels very strong, and I really want to go in and touch it."

"Me too, but as long as you focus on other things, you can hold on." Du Jiajun exhaled, with the same calm expression.

"What are you thinking about?" Huo Minghai was curious.

"You!" Du Jiajun and Zheng Chuanchuan said in unison.

Huo Minghai choked suddenly, Du Jiajun looked at him with fiery eyes, and Zheng Chuanchuan also looked at him with fiery eyes.

In the eyes of Du Jiajun, he is a lover, and in the eyes of Zheng Chuanchuan, he is a guinea pig.

Under the laser light, Huo Minghai's face flushed red, and he moved to the depths of the cave. At this moment, the big spider suddenly spun silk and pulled him into a somersault. There was a huge roar from the position where he was just sitting. !As if an explosion had occurred, the ground shook and rocks flew. Seeing that something was wrong, Du Jiajun immediately flew over, holding Huo Minghai tightly in his arms. After the smoke and dust passed, a green wall appeared in front of him!

no...not a wall...

It was a frighteningly large branch!

It aimed at Huo Minghai, pierced in from above, it was too big, it looked like it fell down a wall!

"Hurry up!" Du Jiajun ran away as soon as he grabbed Huo Minghai, but he didn't take a few steps, his legs softened, and he didn't kneel down when he was supported by Huo Minghai. What's the matter, the blood flowing out is spreading at a terrifying speed, Zheng Chuanchuan saw it, and cried out in his heart, how can the hungry Shenshu smell the blood, how can he be calm? !He quickly cut open Du Jiajun's blood-stained trousers with a scalpel, sprayed them with hemostatic medicine, and then threw the blood-stained gauze and trouser rags on the ground. The big spider crawled into the side road first, and Huo Minghai ran with Du Jiajun on his back. In the middle, Zheng Chuanchuan is the queen.

Not long after entering the forked road, there was another loud noise from the cave. Huo Minghai stopped, and was immediately whipped by Zheng Chuanchuan from behind: "Go! Don't stop!!"

"Then what do they do?"

"What about our past? Could it be that we dug up branches to join them?!" Zheng Chuanchuan cursed anxiously.

"Their group will be fine." Du Jiajun whispered in Huo Minghai's ear, "And... Yan Shi is not a simple person, he may be even stronger than General Mo Xie..."

"En." Huo Minghai lifted Du Jiajun up.

"Is it heavy?"

"not heavy."

Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and Du Jiajun wiped it off with his sleeve.

"You have great potential to be a mailer, would you like to come to my department?"

"Hmph, it's just... ah-!!!!"

The ground under his feet burst suddenly, collapsing into a big pit!It turned out that the rock layer on the ground was very thin and could not stand being trampled on. Huo Minghai stepped into the pit with one step, and the ground cracks spread, and Zheng Chuanchuan who followed behind also suffered. When Huo Minghai fell down, his body tightened and was entangled by spider silk. Hanging in mid-air.

Zheng Chuanchuan hung below Huo Minghai, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The big spider was trying to pull them up, when there was a dangerous rattling sound from the floor, the big spider stepped back quickly, the ground collapsed, and a large piece of debris fell on Huo Minghai's head.

Du Jiajun was startled, touched Huo Minghai's head, and grabbed a thin piece of stone.

"It doesn't hurt at all." Huo Minghai shook his head, "No wonder it collapsed when stepped on."

Zheng Chuanchuan scanned the surroundings with a flashlight, and suddenly shouted: "Look, what is that?!"

Huo Minghai turned his head, and after seeing it, he was stunned.

There was a very huge milky-white plate slanted on the ground, and the light shining on it was refracted, spreading out a soft glow.

"Wings?" Huo Minghai only thought of this.

Immediately, he laughed again.

With wings, of course there are planes.

A plane, fell into an abyss, got stuck in a mountain?
