Urban Oddities: Soul Contract

Chapter 32 The Giant Tree of the Abyss

The silk thread vibrated for a moment, driving the big mallet to hit the big wing. When Huo Minghai was wondering what was going on, the silk thread broke suddenly, and the three of them slid down the wing.

Zheng Chuanchuan landed handsomely, before he could straighten up, he was pushed to the ground by Huo Minghai and Du Jiajun.

Before the three fell into a ball and got up, they heard a loud noise from their heads, as if thousands of horses were running at the same time, and the big spider also jumped down and slid to the ground along the wing. Huo Minghai had suffered from it before. The sacred tree attacked, and heard something wrong, and the little one jumped in fright. The huge noise was caused by the movement of the branches. I don't know which direction it will attack this time?

The three of them scanned around with flashlights. The big pit was almost half the size of a football field, and there were a few round holes scattered on the rock wall. They stared at the holes, tense, and the sound was getting closer and closer. The branches were coming soon!

where? !where? !

The big spider was very calm, its eyes were staring upward.

Is it...

The three looked up at the same time.

An extremely fast green object penetrated the entire passage in an instant. The thin ground was impacted and collapsed to pieces. Smoke and dust enveloped it like rain, and it landed on the wing with a muffled bang bang sound. They hid between the wing and the Under the corner of the ground, he was so stimulated by the dust that he could not stop coughing. When the movement above stopped, Huo Minghai raised his head and looked up. He never imagined that what Yan Shi was worried about finally happened.

In order to find the little fresh meat, Zhi Ya went straight into the cave!

If it wasn't for stepping on the floor and falling into a big pit, in the passage above, facing the sharp crystals chasing at high speed would be unavoidable!

Huo Minghai was patted on the shoulder, and Huo Minghai turned his head.

Du Jiajun smiled and said, "I also have to thank you for stepping into the pit."

"Hmm." Huo Minghai lightly patted the dust off Du Jiajun's head. Du Jiajun shook his head and coughed due to the falling dust.

Zheng Chuanchuan walked around the pit, took a flashlight with a wolf's eye to shine a light on a particularly large hole, and leaned in to look inside.

"Chuan Chuan, do you still have gauze?" Huo Minghai called him.

The gauze dressing the wound was soiled by dust. Zheng Chuanchuan re-wrapped Du Jiajun and threw the blood-stained gauze aside. Horn, the terrible vibration sounded again!

"My God! So fast?!" Zheng Chuanchuan looked up.

The branch was silent.

The shaking continued.

Is... the second root? !

"Which direction...is it this time?" Zheng Chuanchuan looked around nervously.

"Listen to the sound...it's so close..." Du Jiajun held Huo Minghai's hand, ready to escape at any time.

"Watch those holes!"

What Zheng Chuanchuan said was right, a branch suddenly protruded from the hole, but none of them noticed it until there was a loud bang behind him, Huo Minghai stumbled out of the corner while clutching his almost shattered heart .

A piece of green crystal was poked directly on the wing from the big hole on the opposite side. The wing was made of unknown material, but it was only dented by the impact. , the scattered crystal fragments fell to the ground, turning into a gray color.

Both lose.

"Oh... Fortunately, the wings are strong enough..." Huo Minghai was so frightened that he was covered in sweat.

Zheng Chuanchuan found it strange that the sacred tree had no ears, so how could it find out where they were so quickly?

Looking down, I immediately understood.

The blood-stained gauze was thrown on the ground, and the branch was aiming at it!

A bold idea flashed through his mind, Zheng Chuanchuan picked up the gauze and threw it into the farthest cave.

"Will the branch really turn around?" Huo Minghai asked.

Zheng Chuanchuan hid in the corner and looked over there with his head poking around: "Bloodthirsty creatures are very sensitive to blood, even a little bit of blood, they can detect it."

Du Jiajun touched his leg. The smell of stinky tofu was so strong that he almost fainted. Not to mention blood, even if he was wearing perfume, he might not be able to smell it.

"I don't know if it is chasing the piece of gauze, or is it coming at me?" Du Jiajun said, trying to stand up, but was grabbed by Huo Minghai.

"Dangerous! Don't go out!" Huo Minghai dragged him to his side and glared at him.

Du Jiajun couldn't help touching Huo Minghai's eyelashes, which made him burst into tears.

Zheng Chuanchuan snorted: "It wants to chase you, just go around the wing."

The angle between the wings is a dead angle, and the branches are too big, so it is still a problem whether they can squeeze in.

1 minute has passed...

2 minute has passed...

It was quiet outside, Huo Minghai was sweating nervously, Du Jiajun put his arm around his shoulders, and patted him encouragingly, Zheng Chuanchuan silently counted the time, and suddenly said: "Here we come!"

The branch really moved!

Bang!

It hit the wing again, the muffled sound made Huo Minghai's heart almost jump out, the three little fresh meats were so close at hand, compared to the blood-stained gauze, is the attraction still too great?

creak creak-

The branches rubbing against each other made a scalp-numbing sound, and they slowly moved towards the side of the wing. Huo Minghai's eyes widened, and his gaze moved involuntarily with the sound. He protected Du Jiajun behind him, and retreated bit by bit.

When the sound came to an end, there was no wing to cover it, a touch of green appeared in sight, the branches were crystal clear, and the blood vessels distributed inside could be seen, it crawled far away like a snake, when it approached the gauze, it suddenly accelerated and stabbed fiercely. Going up, the huge branches instantly filled the entire cave.

"Hey, pick one of the remaining holes and hurry up." Zheng Chuanchuan rubbed his forehead uncomfortablely as the green crystal was in front of him.

Du Jiajun knocked on the wing: "This thing is not solid."

Zheng Chuanchuan looked up at him: "What do you want to say?"

"We can go in."

Zheng Chuanchuan couldn't help laughing: "You see, this thing is buried very deep, and I don't know if it's broken. Let's go in and get out because it's blocked by mud?"

Du Jiajun waved his hand, signaling him to look outside.

Zheng Chuanchuan followed him out of the corner, and Du Jiajun pointed to the sunken surface that was hit: "Its material is very hard, and it has only sunken a hole after being hit twice. I think the inside is safer than the outside. Things of this hardness may not would break easily."

Zheng Chuanchuan touched the wing, feeling cool to the touch. He touched the sunken part with his fingers and found a thin mark. Zheng Chuanchuan used a scalpel to pick it out, thinking about picking a hole to see what it was like inside, but he didn't expect to fiddle with it. The board in front of him suddenly slid open, and Zheng Chuanchuan never thought that there was a door on the wing, so he fell in without paying attention.

"Chuanchuan——!!!" Du Jiajun and Huo Minghai yelled loudly, poking their heads in to look inside. Zheng Chuanchuan's exclamation rang all the way until there was a thump.

"Hello——Chuanchuan——!!!" The airfoil was pitch black, Du Jiajun turned on the flashlight and looked down, and the strong light from the wolf-eyed flashlight suddenly illuminated Zheng Chuanchuan in the depths. When the light flashed, he quickly covered his eyes and yelled at him to move the light away.

"Are you okay--?!" Du Jiajun asked loudly, the sound transmission in the cabin was excellent, and the voice exploded in Zheng Chuanchuan's ears as he shouted.

Zheng Chuanchuan covered his ears, looked like he couldn't stand it, and took pictures with a flashlight, beckoning to them.

"It's a corridor! No branches! I'll go and see..."

"Let's come down now, don't walk around!" Seeing that he was going to leave, Huo Minghai became impatient, and climbed up the door to slide in. The big spider moved faster than him, and got in with a whoosh, crawling, With a heavy weight on his body, the big spider stopped moving.

"Well, it's okay, continue." Du Jiajun said cheekily while lying on top of it.

"Ah, the door is closed..." Huo Minghai lay on top of it and watched the door close automatically.

"It's amazing." Du Jiajun said.

"Yes." Huo Minghai responded.

Du Jiajun suddenly turned his head and pecked Huo Minghai's face.

When Zheng Chuanchuan saw the little white mouse being bitten by someone, his face immediately became long: "How does it taste?"

Du Jiajun: "Apple flavor."

Zheng Chuanchuan: "Really?"

Du Jiajun: "If you don't believe me, you are not allowed to taste it."

Zheng Chuanchuan: "Why?"

Du Jiajun: "There is my seal on the little apple."

Zheng Chuanchuan: "Cut!"

Little Apple: "..."

Going down to the bottom, the ripe little apple carried Du Jiajun on his back without saying a word. Du Jiajun put his arms around Huo Minghai and raised his eyebrows at Zheng Chuanchuan.

Zheng Chuanchuan didn't look, and opened the way with the big spider. The corridor was very clean, and there was no debris along the way. After turning a few turns, there was a strange buzzing sound from somewhere.

"Did you hear that?" Zheng Chuanchuan stopped in his tracks.

"It seems to be... the sound of the air conditioner?" Huo Minghai wondered.

"Maybe it's the ventilation system?" Du Jiajun guessed.

As he moved forward, the buzzing noise became louder and louder, and when he came to a T-shaped intersection, Zheng Chuanchuan chose the left without hesitation.

Du Jiajun leaned closer to Huo Minghai's ear and said softly, "There's something wrong with him."

"what……"

"Ming Hai...there may be something bad in front of you." Du Jiajun panted, seeming to be very uncomfortable.

"Jiajun... hello..."

"Ming Hai... I think I must go... This idea is too strong..." Du Jiajun closed his eyes, "You...don't let go..."

"Well, don't let go." Huo Minghai lifted him up, and called Zheng Chuanchuan a few times. Zheng Chuanchuan was in a state of deep hypnosis, completely unresponsive to outside voices. Huo Minghai's heart was full of alarm bells, and he quickly caught up. He lifted his foot and knocked him to the ground. At this time, Huo Minghai was only one step away from the corner. Of course, it is impossible to say that he is not curious. What is in the corner?The root of the sacred tree?Or the brain of the divine tree?He swallowed, and leaned over cautiously, because he was too nervous, he could feel the blood pumping to his brain one by one, and the pressure made his temples ache.

The feeling of playing with the heartbeat didn't last long. When he saw something in the corner, his body shook suddenly. Du Jiajun lay on his back, and naturally saw it. The two felt as if they were soaked in ice at the same time. Cold from head to toe.

At the end of the corner is a room, the half-open door is full of faint green crystal branches, and sections of fluorescent lights flashed from the crystals, and the divine tree was giving instructions.

From Huo Minghai's angle, he couldn't see where the divine tree's brain was at all. He could only tell that deep in the layers of branches, the roots were coiled into the shape of a birdcage, covering a red thing.

They can't enter this kind of place.

Huo Minghai turned back and retreated, just in time to collide with Zheng Chuanchuan who got up. Zheng Chuanchuan's eyes were dazed, but his movements were extremely fast. He pushed away the obstacle and spread his hooves to run to the room. The big spider spun silk to wrap around him, Unexpectedly, Zheng Chuanchuan was entangled and knew how to struggle. The big spider had no choice but to drag it back. The two guys played a strange tug-of-war.

Huo Minghai tripped Zheng Chuanchuan with his feet, and the big spider took the opportunity to entangle Zheng Chuanchuan from head to toe into a mummy. Zheng Chuanchuan's feet were entangled before he got up, his body was unstable, and his head hit the wall heavily. He finally woke up and looked at himself in a daze.

"Huh? Why are you pestering me?"

"Chuan Chuan...you have been hypnotized again, uh...me too..." Du Jiajun couldn't take it anymore, buried his face in Huo Minghai's neck, opened his mouth and took a bite.

"oops!"

"Well, I feel better." Du Jiajun licked his teeth marks.

"It doesn't seem right, brother, you are the one who is affected, why did you bite me?"

"You smell good."

Little Apple: "..."

Du Jiajun was courteous, and stretched his wrist to Little Apple's lips: "Hey, bite."

The little apple took a bite.

"Stronger."

Huo Minghai hesitated for a moment, put in more effort, and left a tooth mark on his wrist.

Du Jiajun was much more awake. He drew a mark on the wall to signal the big spider to go back, but before he took a few steps, there was a creaking sound of scratching the wall from the corner. Huo Minghai turned his head and saw an arm Thick green branches stretched out.

Compared with the huge branches that run through the entire cave, the small branches are like the difference between mosquitoes and elephants, but the small branches are also a part of the sacred tree, and if you encounter them, you will end up in the same way!

"Run!!!" Du Jiajun gave an order, the big spider dragged the mummy and ran first, Huo Minghai carried a big man on his back, the speed was limited, the little branch chased them like a snake, and it was about to run into Huo Minghai Huo Minghai only heard two swishing sounds in his ears, and turned his head to look, just as Du Jiajun bent his bow and set an arrow again, and nailed the arrow to the branch, the place where the arrow was hit quickly spread a pitch black color, and large pieces of land Cracking, the branch felt the danger, paused, and finally slowly retracted.

Huo Minghai recognized that the bow and arrows were just decorations in the stone room, mere decorations, how could they have such power?

"I poured solid mud into the quiver, but I didn't expect it to be more effective than poison." Du Jiajun was finally relieved when he saw that the branches were no longer chasing him.

The big spider led them to run forward non-stop. Zheng Chuanchuan was tied up so that he couldn't move. After dragging on the ground for a long time, the big spider finally stopped and raised its claws to untie Zheng Chuanchuan.

Zheng Chuanchuan was dying, tremblingly took out the potion from his pocket and poured it into his mouth. After drinking it, Zheng Chuanchuan suddenly felt full of strength all over his body, wondering if the effect of this medicine would be so fast?Turning the medicine bottle to look, Zheng Chuanchuan almost vomited blood.

On the small label on the medicine bottle, there are three small words printed: stimulant.

Duration: 10 seconds.

side effect……

Zheng Chuanchuan didn't dare to think about it anymore. He saw a colleague drink this bottle of medicine with his own eyes. The man was excited for 10 seconds, and then he had a stomachache for a long time and almost died in the line of duty.

"Where is this location?" Zheng Chuanchuan threw away the empty bottle and said nonchalantly.

Huo Minghai put down Du Jiajun, panting and gestured: "The right side of the fork in the road."

On the left, go all the way, you will reach the room where the roots are entangled, on the right, go all the way, but...

"There's no way?" Zheng Chuanchuan took a flashlight to illuminate a circle, and the light fell on the big spider's buttocks.

The big spider faced the end and seemed to be hesitating.

Is there anything special about the wall at the end?

The light moved to the wall, and Zheng Chuanchuan squinted his eyes, as if... there was a thin crack?

"Hey, it seems that there is a door here?" Zheng Chuanchuan followed the crack and found the shape of the door.

"Knock knock?" Du Jiajun said.

"Hmph, knock, and then someone will open the door for you?" Zheng Chuanchuan's stomach grumbled, he covered his stomach with a green face, and obediently knocked on the door.

"I don't know what room is behind the door?" Huo Minghai imagined.

"I hope it's the bathroom..." Zheng Chuanchuan clamped his legs tightly and fumbled on the door with his hands. I don't know who the hell designed this, and there is not even a doorknob!

"Chuan Chuan... your complexion is not very good..." Huo Minghai observed him worriedly.

"Being dragged all the way... um...how could it be better?" Zheng Chuanchuan was sweating profusely, he was dying, he was about to come out!

I don't know where the hand touched, there was a slight beep, the door slid open, Zheng Chuanchuan rushed out quickly, and when Huo Minghai got out, Zheng Chuanchuan couldn't even find his shadow.

"Chuan Chuan!!!"

"It's relieved!" Zheng Chuanchuan's voice came from a hidden corner.

"Don't wander around after you relieve yourself!" Huo Minghai was worried.

Zheng Chuanchuan burst into tears. Now he is in a catastrophe, and he can't get up at all!

Huo Minghai looked around, he was standing on the wreckage of the suspected plane, and the wreckage of the plane was buried in a huge hole, there were several branches inserted into the rock wall in mid-air, Huo Minghai looked along the branches ...

The sacred tree is not what he imagined.

The huge green funnel is like a tornado in the dark, emerging from the hole in the fuselage, and the spreading branches at the top are crazily interspersed into the cave, and the green light flashes section by section, illuminating the pothole brightly, Huo Minghai saw She was stunned, with her mouth wide open, unable to even make a sound.

"It's...so spectacular..." Du Jiajun also sighed.

"Hello!" Huo Minghai pulled him nervously.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." The hand he was holding was tightened. Du Jiajun suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Where's Chuanchuan?! Chuanchuan!!"

"I...it's fine..." Zheng Chuanchuan's stomach hurts terribly, it's no wonder he can be hypnotized.

At this moment, Du Jiajun turned his head when he heard something in his ears.

"What's wrong?" Huo Minghai asked.

"There seems to be a sound."

buzzing buzzing...

"So it can be heard outside."

"No, listen again, it seems that someone is calling us?"

No matter how big the sacred tree is, it can't be used as a searchlight, and the place where the fluorescent light can't reach is still pitch black. How can anyone be seen?

Huo Minghai had an idea, took the flashlight and turned it on and off. After a while, someone imitated him from the opposite direction, turning the flashlight on and off.

Du Jiajun shone it with a wolf-eye flashlight, and vaguely saw three figures in a large cave, and the three were yelling and waving at them.

"It's Yan Shi and them!" Huo Minghai cheered, "Let's go and have a look! Is Chuan Chuan still okay?"

A dying voice came from the corner: "Give me some more time..."

The author has something to say: This is a half-spiritual and half-sci-fi adventure story. Well, I think such a strange combination is really weird... The fifth part is horror and supernatural. I find it particularly interesting to write horror stories. It's like blood, so... cherish the fourth soul contract!Anyway, there is an adventure plot to adjust it, right? _(:з」∠)_
