There is a musty smell throughout the secret passage, which makes people’s nose uncomfortable.
Zhang Zhuxun held his breath and ran down the stone steps three steps at a time.
The nearly ten-meter-thick and towering bronze tree is right in front of you.
As soon as Zhang Zhuoxun came closer, a large corpse cricket with its pigtails fell down in front of his feet. His arms and legs twitched a few times, turning into a puddle of corpse cricket mud.
Immediately afterwards, corpses of all sizes fell from above with a crackling rain.
Zhang Zhu looked for a surprise and quickly retreated far away.
The temperature here is very high, and the strong hot wind makes people feel dizzy. Coupled with the shrill screams coming from the sky from time to time, it makes people restless and restless for no reason.
The rain of corpses fell for a while and then paused. After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhu took out a pair of rubber gloves and a pair of thread gloves from the space. They were two layers of protection. He put on the rubber gloves first and then put thread gloves on them to increase friction. Hold on to the tung branches extending from the bronze trunk with your hands and climb up quickly.
There are also scattered small branches growing on the knotty tung branches in Pangeng, so you have to avoid scratching your clothes when walking through them.
At the beginning, the gaps between the branches are larger, making it easier to climb. As you go up, the branches become denser and denser.
After climbing nearly a hundred meters, Zhang Zhu smelled a hint of blood on the tip of his nose, and couldn't help but frown slightly. Someone was injured?
It can’t be Wu Xiaoxie!
Zhang Zhu was anxious and accelerated his climb.
The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and Zhang Zhuxun noticed that in the thunder cloud pattern carvings on the bronze tree, there was blood flowing slowly along the blood trough.
Zhang Zhuxun stretched out his finger and dipped a little, put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it. It was not only human blood, but also mixed with the blood of other scavengers. Human blood is not so smelly.
With a bang, a heavy object fell from a tree trunk next to Zhang Zhuxun, causing the branches under his feet to shake. After a closer look, it turned out that a white-haired monkey half the size of an adult had fallen.
, the huge inertia caused by gravity caused its chest to be penetrated by small branches standing on the branches of the tung tree, so that it could be suspended.
The sticky smell of blood immediately spread, and the blood dripped down the branches to the branches below, and then flowed into the blood trough along the slightly tilted trunk. In an instant, that area and the surrounding thunder cloud patterns
It was soaked in blood, and the blood continued to spread downward along the lines.
Zhang Zhuxun suddenly remembered the flame-patterned altar in the center of Zhujiuyin Cave. It was also a blood-drawing sacrificial device. He wondered if there was any connection between the bronze tree and the altar.
But now is not the time to think about this. The top priority is to find Xiao Tianzhen first.
Continuing upward, Zhang Zhuxun saw the body of a white-haired monkey. The wounds on this monkey were obviously caused by Lao Itch's earth-breaking gun. There was a large piece of rot on the belly, and the hair on the sides was all gone.
It’s called gunpowder, and it’s so dark.
The difference from the previous one is that the monkey face of this corpse has a pale mask.
When Zhang Zhuoxun passed by him, the mask suddenly moved. From his point of view, the facial features on the mask looked like a smile but not a smile, and were strangely tight.
At the same time, eight dark arthropod legs stretched out from under the mask.
