Chapter 65 Snake Eating

Li Heng's eyes darkened, and his men no longer exerted any force. Instead, they gently fiddled with the rocks and soil like a professional archaeologist, clearing out the buried things bit by bit.

The complete outline of this human bone slowly emerged from the earth and rocks underground, even though it had been broken by Li Heng.

To be honest, this kind of scene should be very terrifying and horrifying.

It was dark in the middle of the night, surrounded by uninhabited mountains and old forests. I was alone in this desperate situation that seemed to be isolated from the world, and even dug out a human skeleton from the ground with my bare hands.

Coupled with the whimpering wind that comes from all around and the strange cries of various unknown creatures deep in the mountains, it gives you a sense of horror as if you are in an endless underworld. This is at least a restricted shot for a suspenseful horror movie.

It's only thanks to a guy like Li Heng, whose mental strength has exceeded 160, that he has a willpower that can be said to be the limit of human beings, so he can continue to "work" here with an expressionless face. It's not as plain as digging bones in the mountains.

Instead, play in the sand at a holiday beach.

On the surface, it seems that this is at most a case of murder and dumping of corpses many years ago, and to prevent exposure, they were smuggled to such a place far away from human traces for burial.

This kind of thing happened a lot in the past. If you encounter this kind of thing, just call the relevant departments to see if it is related to some old cases.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find it extremely unreasonable.

What kind of murderer would plant a tree on top of a murderer and bury the body, and even fertilize it thoughtfully? It's a fucking qilixiang tree.

It seemed that no conclusion could be drawn for a while, so Li Heng decided to take a rest first and simply replenish his physical strength.

As for the skull being completely corrupted, it is impossible, because even the bones of the torso are still preserved, and the skull, which is the hardest and densest in the human body, is even less likely to disappear.

The head is missing, which is really confusing.

He glanced at the crack in the stone not far away, where there was a piece of fresh meat.

The shape of this skeleton has also been roughly revealed. The bones of each part have disintegrated under the weight of earth, rocks and trees, but the shape of each part can still be roughly seen, the ribs, shoulder blades, cervical vertebrae... are scattered.

Among the layers of earth and rocks, the roots of Qilixiang have penetrated deeply into the bones and merged into one, making them indistinguishable.

While he was eating, Li Heng suddenly stopped, biting and chewing, as if the snake meat in his mouth no longer tasted good.

Only one part is missing, a crucial part - the head!

There were no skull remains near the cervical vertebrae, and Li Heng searched through a large area nearby but could not find them.

"The world is full of mysteries"

As for supplementary means...

Li Heng simply built a support with stones from the rocky slope and found dry branches and weeds from the woods. Li Heng set up a simple barbecue stall on the spot.

Buried here is a headless corpse.

Of course, this is a metaphorical statement, which means that the more you sacrifice, the more you gain. In a sense, it is their interpretation of their own national character in certain eras.

"Meow-"

"Meow~"

After cleaning the snake gallbladder and a bunch of internal organs, eating only the snake meat has a very fresh and refreshing taste. Although there is no seasoning, it does not feel difficult to swallow.

There is a saying in the eastern island countries that there are corpses buried under the cherry blossom trees. The cherry blossoms bloom brightly and luxuriantly because they absorb the nutrients from the corpses. The more corpses buried, the more brilliant the flowers bloom.

"It really smells good. It's much stronger than some indoor bonsai plants I grew in the past."

This snake corpse was obviously a trophy from a bloody battle in which I even injured one foot. I originally saved it and planned to use it as a food reserve for the next few days. However, it was snatched away by other guys. After that, I still couldn't beat this guy.

When you say you're angry at people, you don't mean... are you angry at cats?

Seeing that the big cat wanted to come over but didn't dare, Li Heng smiled and cut off a piece of roasted snake meat and threw it away.

A long cat meow came from afar, and a cat's head was recorded on the edge of the rocky slope not far away. The green cat's eyes were staring straight here, and the melodious meow was full of grievances and unwillingness.

If you really want to say it, this scene is more like...using this person to be the nourishment for this tree?

However, this conjecture is a bit too scary and has some evil implications.

Li Heng thought.

As Li Heng continued to excavate, more skeleton parts appeared in the form of a human-shaped structure, but...

The crackling flames danced, reflecting on Li Heng's face, and the aroma of meat came from in front of him. This was the first time he had eaten snake meat.

He picked up the nearly two-meter-long Earth King snake that had died in the claws of the old cat, and then with a simple pinch of his fingers, he tore off the outer layer of snake skin, revealing the bright red snake meat inside.

Finally, it couldn't help but meow, and pounced on the food to chew it. During this period, it purred from time to time to protect the food.

Continue to carefully push away the earth and rocks and dig downward. The hole becomes deeper and larger, and about one-third of the roots of the Qilixiang tree have been exposed.

Li Heng supported the seven-mile fragrant tree, and with a slight exertion, the whole tree trembled. Several fallen leaves fell, and Li Heng reached out to catch them.

Why, is the road to Huangquan fragrant?

Watching the steaming snake meat roll not far away from him, a wisp of aroma hooked it even more.

Li Heng also feasted, biting into the hot snake body and tearing off the meat.

Put it under your nose and smell it carefully.

In fact, with his current physique, he can eat raw meat directly without making it into cooked food, and he doesn't have to worry about bacterial pathogens. His immune system is so strong.

One person and one cat, deep in the mountains, eating snakes in the dark night.

"This headless corpse became the nutrient for this seven-mile tree, allowing it to grow on this barren and desolate rocky slope."

It was delicious and weird.

The snake meat is very firm and lean in the mouth. Li Heng originally thought that the snake meat might taste similar to eel, but after actually tasting it, he found that the texture was too strong and there was no strong fishy smell as expected.

Li Heng couldn't help but secretly thought that he was enjoying himself. Another gain from traveling around the world was that he could taste a variety of unprecedented flavors.

He suddenly stood up, and his movements were so fast that the old cat who was still chewing the snake was frightened and staggered.

But what does this mean now? What does the tree growing on the corpse want?

It's a pity that he doesn't have any analytical instruments at hand, so he can't chemically identify the components of these plants. He can't detect much just by smelling them.

Unless there is an extremely urgent situation, they will eat raw flesh and blood in order to immediately replenish energy.

But after all, as a person, eating raw meat directly is still a bit uncomfortable, and it tastes better when it is roasted.

Li Heng returned to the Qilixiang tree again and walked slowly for a few steps around the trunk. His feet seemed to strictly follow some rules. After seven steps, he stopped.

He looked up in the darkness and saw only the majestic outline of another behemoth under the faint starlight.

After being stunned for a while, Li Heng lowered his head again and looked at the bones in the tree pit, with a rare sense of surprise in his eyes.

"What the hell...someone wants to become an immortal!"
