"Since you're so relaxed, why don't you come down and help find a way out? Swinging up there must be fun, right?" I looked up at them with disdain. They seemed so carefree, without a hint of tension. Why not just drop down and stop talking nonsense up there? They weren't even afraid of getting their tongues twisted!
"Feng Xiaotongzhi, if we all came down, who would cover for you?" White Two said with a meaningful smile.
"Exactly. It's obvious you're just an inexperienced rookie. So what if you're Feng Yuanliang's son? Even if you hide well, it doesn't matter; you haven't been down here much, so your experience is lacking..."
"That's enough from you." Before Evil Bird could finish, I rolled my eyes and lazily said while rummaging through the corpses, "I’m too busy studying to have time to be an Earth Rat!"
"You..."
"Alright, let's get to work." Just as Evil Bird opened his mouth, Divine Hand's unchanged tone immediately followed. Then, with a loud thud, an unknown object fell from above. It sounded heavy!
I turned around to see Evil Bird climbing up from the pile of corpses, looking quite disheveled. The surrounding Snake Vines had all been taken out one by one. I could only shake my head and smile in silence; Divine Hand really was something else—he just knocked his own comrade down and ended up covered in the stench of corpses!
Turning back, Kong Guayan was still rummaging around at the base of the tree, showing no change in expression despite our conversation. His serious face and focused eyes made me momentarily think he was possessed by a lemon!
But honestly, their personalities were quite similar. I had been wondering if they might be long-lost brothers. They were both equally indifferent, taciturn, and formidable! The difference lay in their aura... that ancient presence that seemed to have endured for millennia was unmatched by anyone else. This aura had always left a deep impression on me. I couldn't help but wonder if it was fate; from the first time we met, I felt this aura was familiar...
Sigh, it's been so long; I still don't know where he has gone! And what about Xianxian? After parting ways in the maze not long ago, I wonder what they encountered afterward. Did they manage to escape the maze or end up trapped like me due to some bizarre events...
Gunfire echoed continuously. With Divine Hand providing cover from above, I didn't want to waste any more energy dealing with those pesky Snake Vines. I began to focus entirely on finding a way out. To be honest, I didn't really believe there were any hidden mechanisms or entrances beneath this pile of corpses; the only suspicious place was indeed where Kong Guayan was currently located—the roots of the Snake Tree!
I walked around the tree. Although this tree could move, it did not walk; it remained in place. While I was talking with White Two and Evil Bird, it had already dealt with some corpses around it. The trunk extended downward, and roots even appeared around it. Logically speaking, this Underworld had existed for over two thousand years, so was this Snake Tree also "planted" back then? It was a miracle that it had survived all these years—no, it was bizarre!
Let's not even mention the nutrients; are there trees that can live for thousands of years? Well, this has already exceeded the limits of being a tree, and let's not even discuss how it has survived until now. What purpose does this strange Snake Tree serve here? Why couldn't it be seen from a distance? Was it under some magic that made it only visible when one got close?
It was abnormal! Too abnormal!
There must be a secret here. The corpses beneath the tree were clearly much taller than those around them, making cleanup more troublesome. However, with the six hands and six feet of the three of us, we were busy enough. I won't elaborate on the scenes during the cleanup; I just closed my eyes and got through it. For you, me, and him, I decided to forget about it afterward! Damn it, it was truly disgusting!
After dealing with the corpses, the appearance at the base of the tree was fully revealed. At the same time, the attacks from the Snake Vine intensified! It seemed to become more agitated due to our actions!
What secrets lay below? Watching the intense reaction of the Snake Vine made me even more curious. Although I felt a bit tired, my movements quickened involuntarily.
Seeing Kong Guayan feeling around above, I pointed at the roots in front of me and asked, "Can I cut this root?"
"Wait..." Just as Kong Guayan started to speak, I swung my knife down. Evil Bird paused for a moment upon seeing this but quickly reacted and scolded, "Can you not be so reckless with your hands!"
"If your hands aren't reckless, did you consider how the Snake Tree feels while you're touching everything?" I shot Evil Bird a glare just as the root I struck suddenly began to shake. The attacks from the Snake Vine became even more intense, and the hanging corpses swayed violently like waves in a storm. I could even hear the pained hissing of snakes...
Even if Divine Hand and others had perfect aim, they couldn't protect all three of us below at once. The gunfire intensified as Snake Vine attacks became more frequent. While remaining vigilant against incoming attacks from Snake Vines, I continued to cut while moving toward the trunk. When I finally leaned against the tree, I felt a chill at my waist as a snake as thick as my wrist coiled around me. To avoid cutting myself accidentally, I immediately turned to face the tree. In that instant, as my waist tightened, I collided face-first with the rough bark of the tree. It felt coarse and cold against me. Just as I raised my hand to cut away the coiling Snake Vine, I was stunned...
With my body pressed tightly against the tree, my face inevitably came close to it. My nose brushed against its rough bark, and I could even smell a faint sweet scent. Why would a tree nourished by corpses emit such a subtle fragrance? That wasn't important! What mattered was that I actually saw a pair of eyes!
Because I was so close, I clearly saw a pair of eyes inside the tree staring at me!
Under the gaze of his jet black eyes, his expression was so cold that it felt like I had fallen into an ice cave! Those icy eyes seemed like a bottomless pit, threatening to swallow me whole, as if they possessed some kind of magic. I couldn't resist staring into those eyes... Gradually, beneath that cold gaze, a high, sharply defined nose began to emerge, followed by pale lips devoid of color and a pointed chin. His features appeared as if they had been carved from stone—handsome yet ruthless, with an air of danger. The moment I saw those eyes, I sensed that this person was extraordinary!
I stared unblinkingly at the man hidden among the trees. He had long hair, with the hair on top standing tall while the rest cascaded down his shoulders and back. His ancient attire gradually became clearer and more real from a hazy form to a distinct presence...
From the moment I caught sight of his features, I was completely at a loss for words. My initial fear transformed into confusion. At first, I thought there was a living person inside, but moments later, I realized that the person had long been dead... he was a corpse...
But why did this face look exactly like Lime's!!!
