Judgment Day [Unlimited]

Chapter 39 The Altar

Xie Xingyin was worried about letting Lu Fen deal with the giant snake alone, but right now he had to get the elixir first.

Lu Fen plunged headlong into the thick fog, and his figure quickly disappeared.

Everyone else was running away, but he was the only one who ran back alone desperately.

Xie Xingyin looked up, and saw that the black shadow of the giant snake in the clouds actually turned its direction, as if attracted by Lu Fen's actions.

The huge black shadow lurking in the clouds stopped for a moment, then slowly walked towards the direction where Lu Fen left.

Seeing the black shadow covering the sky above his head, Xie Xingyin felt startled.The size difference between a human and a giant snake is too great, even Lu Fen is not big enough to fit the giant snake between his teeth.

But it's too late to think about anything now, the green snake venom is still chasing them.With Lu Fen delaying for time, Xie Xingyin pulled Lao Liang along and ran along the tall reeds until he finally got rid of the green poisonous mist——

"Look!"

The swamp was surrounded by clouds and mist, and Xie Xingyin noticed at a glance that there was a huge tree among the misty clouds in front of him—or it was actually composed of countless trees.

A large number of ancient trees were tightly twisted together to form a larger tree, which rushed straight into the clouds!

In the monotonous brown and gray swamp, only the dazzling green of the giant tree is hard to ignore.

Xie Xingyin somehow remembered a sentence said by the devil in "Faust": All theories are gray, but the tree of life is evergreen.

"It's this tree, that's right, the tree of life." He looked up at the top of the tree, only to see that the towering top of the tree was completely annihilated above the clouds. "We're going up there."

The two rushed towards the tree of life, and soon met Boss Hou and Lan Hui who ran out of nowhere.They also just narrowly escaped from the mouth of the giant snake, gasping for breath.

The life and death of the bodyguards is uncertain, and the two bosses are unarmed, and they can't do anything under their noses.Xie Xingyin didn't say anything, and planned to find a chance later to shake them off.

They soon came to the tree of life.When I saw it from a distance, I just thought the tree was tall, but when I got closer, I got a more intuitive feeling.The trunk of the tree of life in front of me is thicker than any skyscraper.

The small trees that make up the tree of life are tightly entangled and twisted together like twisted twists, which gives them room to settle.

Xie Xingyin observed the uneven tree trunk, and climbing up it with bare hands should not be a problem.

"Let's go. It's not too late, go up first and then talk."

Xie Xingyin looked back at Nong Yun who was left behind by them, wondering what was going on with Lu Fen.

"Old Xie, is there only that snake guarded here?"

Lao Liang rolled up his sleeves and prepared to climb the tree, muttering, "Why do I feel it's too easy?"

"...Don't be a crow's mouth." Xie Xingyin pulled out his saber, wrapped it around a few times with cloth and tied it tightly in his hand, "Hurry up, maybe that giant snake will come back again."

Xie Xingyin stabbed the tip of the knife into the tree trunk to test its firmness.He stood under the tree and just raised one leg, and when he was about to use his strength to climb up, he felt a pain in his ankle, and the other leg was dragged by something.

He looked down, and at some point some ugly branches appeared on the ground, entangled his ankles.

Xie Xingyin shook it twice but did not shake it off. Just as he was about to cut with a knife, his expression suddenly froze——

What kind of branch is hooking him? It's clearly a distorted mummy hand!

The mummy buried in the ground had already got half of its head out of the soil, right at his feet.

Xie Xingyin was stunned, and the ground trembled violently, and the land around the tree of life was completely shattered, and then a large piece of black mummified corpses emerged.

The dark eye sockets of those mummies were empty, but their heads were all aimed at them, obviously looking at them.

"Run!" Xie Xingyin roared, and the sharp saber neatly chopped off the mummy hand hanging on his ankle.The mummy at the feet immediately screamed strangely, like a fuse, which affected all the mummy to make a hoarse cry.

Their screams are really scary and unpleasant, and the blood flowed backwards, and goose bumps came up.Xie Xingyin reacted quickly. Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned around and grabbed the tree with hands and feet and started to climb up. Lao Liang also followed in a panic.

Before the mummy crawled out of the ground, they climbed up four or five meters as if fleeing for their lives.

Xie Xingyin looked back, and saw that the group of mummies had already emerged from the ground one by one like pulling carrots.

These mummies hold weapons in their hands, and they are the guards of the Garden of Eden.They were loyal in life and did their duty after death, guarding the tree of life here.

The mummies didn't know how to climb trees, but they were superior in number. They stepped on each other, stepped on other mummies to climb up like an arhat, and soon rushed to Xie Xingyin's feet.

Xie Xingyin stabbed the tree with a saber to fix it, and kicked a mummy down with a neat kick.The falling mummy fell into the sea of ​​corpses and disappeared, and soon other mummy rushed towards them with hands and feet.

"Go up quickly!!" Xie Xingyin shouted at the people below.

Lan Hui was relatively light, and reluctantly followed them up.But Boss Hou is short and fat, and his hands and feet are not very flexible. It is quite difficult to climb up the tree, and he can't climb very far with his two short and fat legs.

Hearing the cries of the mummies getting closer, Boss Hou was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Xie Xingyin gritted his teeth and shuttled between the tree trunks, quickly climbed up the tree, and quickly left behind the strange screams of the mummy.

He looked down, at this moment they were already some distance from the ground, and they were a little dizzy from a height.

Old Liang was not far below, and the mummified corpses under his feet rushed up like monkeys, one of them bounced suddenly, and its sharp and curved nails caught Old Liang's trouser belt.Old Liang's face turned green immediately, and he gritted his molars and kicked its shoulder desperately. Unfortunately, the mummy didn't feel pain at all, and its attitude was extremely stubborn. No matter how hard he kicked, he refused to let go.

"Fuck you, let go, my pants are about to fall off!!"

In a fit of rage, Lao Liang unleashed a critical attack, only to hear a crisp "click" and abruptly broke his neck.Immediately afterwards, he raised his leg again, and the ugly mummy head fell straight down——

The headless mummified corpse was in a daze, but still refused to let go, and was still holding on to Lao Liang's outer pants stubbornly when he fell from a high altitude.

Lao Liang only felt the chill in his lower body. He looked down and saw that he had lost his trousers. He could only wear a pair of red trousers and hang on the tree.

Xie Xingyin glanced at him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't bear to look straight away and turned his eyes away.As Lao Liang crawled towards him, he collapsed and shouted, "Benming Year!"

The two managed to get out of the range of the mummy's attack, and continued to climb up the tree of life.Boss Hou's climbing speed was a little slow, but they were also out of the siege of the mummy. Now is a good time to get rid of them.

So Xie Xingyin and Lao Liang looked at each other, and they climbed faster.All the way up along the trunk, like climbing pea vines in a fairy tale, climbing into the clouds.

But there is no giant's castle on this cloud, only a giant snake.

When they climbed above the clouds, higher than the giant snake, the giant snake hovering above the clouds was clearly exposed in their field of vision.The snake plunged its head into the middle of the clouds, not knowing what it was looking for, while its long tail was exposed outside the clouds, twitching slowly.

Without the cover of clouds and mist, as long as the giant snake raised its head, it would find them.

Seeing this snake, Xie Xingyin was a little worried about Lu Fen's situation.Now that they were hanging in the air, they could only get the elixir as soon as possible before going to Lu Fen.

"Hurry up, we're almost there." The crown of the tree of life was already in sight, and the two struggled to crawl, trying to get to the top of the tree before the giant snake found them.

However, things didn't go as planned, and when they were about to reach their destination, the snake seemed to sense something, its body twisted its ears without any warning, and then rushed out of the clouds.

"not good!"

The sky is his territory, and the snake rushed towards them like an arrow from the string.The two clinging to the tree had no power to fight back. In desperation, Xie Xingyin picked up Lao Liang's collar to find a place to hide. The two almost fell straight into a hole in the tree.

The hole was vertically downward, and they fell several meters down, landing on countless vines.

A moment later, the giant snake came roaring and circling around the entrance of the cave for a while, and then a huge snake eye with green light appeared at the entrance of the cave.

Xie Xingyin fell to the ground, raised his head and looked at the snake's eyes for a moment, and when he was about to bear the attack of its poisonous mist, he saw the giant snake retreating slowly.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

They were saved, and Boss Hou below could only ask for more blessings.

Xie Xingyin got up from the ground, only to find that there was an altar in the tree hole they accidentally bumped into.

There is a round platform in the center of the altar, and a pure white carved sarcophagus is placed upright on the round platform, with a very simple shape.

The serpent guards the tree of life here, and this altar seems to be a territory it cannot set foot on.It is very likely that the fairy medicine is here, and they discovered it by mistake.

When Lao Liang looked up, he found that the tree hole they fell into was quite far from the ground, and there was no other exit nearby.

"Hey, how do I get out of this ghostly place?" Lao Liang called twice but no one responded, he turned his head and saw Xie Xingyin standing in front of the sarcophagus, concentrating on the pattern on the coffin lid.

The sarcophagus cover is engraved with several pictures of sacrifices.

In the first picture, several people wearing hideous masks are dancing around the bonfire.

In the second picture, these masked men are leading a slave tied up under a tree.

In the third picture, the poor slave is lying in the sarcophagus, and the flowers in the sarcophagus bear fruit.

Xie Xingyin's gaze followed these patterns all the way down, and when he saw the fourth picture, his expression changed slightly.

"What is this painting?" There is no inscription on the sarcophagus, and Lao Liang can understand these pictures.

I saw that the fourth picture was a bit strange. The lid of the coffin was opened again, and the living slave inside was gone, only a skeleton remained, and beside the sarcophagus lay two snakes connected end to end.
