Another You on the Altar (Add more chapters)

Wu Xie was almost blinded by Lao Tickle's shot, and hurriedly stepped aside, touched his face, and was immediately shocked—a bloodstain was drawn on his face by the bullet's airflow.

Lao Xie continued to shoot from below, and the bullets flew randomly, sparks everywhere, but unfortunately none of the shots hit the target, almost all of them hit the copper tree, and some bullets bounced several times, like marbles Flying around in front of Wu Xie's eyes.

Wu Xie had no time to care about those "weirds" any longer, dodging left and right, and couldn't help but secretly scold Lao Tickle in his heart for his poor marksmanship. If this continues, his mother might die at his hands today.

But these few shots also bought time for Wu Xie,

Wu Xie took advantage of the fact that those monsters were shunned by the bullets and they backed away, took the opportunity to take out two bullets from the iron box under the barrel of the gun, stuffed them into the barrel of the gun, slammed it into the chamber, and aimed at the nearest monster. It was shot in the face, and it flew out and fell to the copper tree.

After the threat in front of him was lifted, Wu Xie immediately lowered his head to look at the old itch, only to find that more monsters poked their heads out from the darkness, and all he could see were a dozen giant faces. These things seemed to be attracted to him. Like Wu Xie, they moved almost at the same time, outflanking him like a ghost.

Wu Xie was terrified when he saw it, he really couldn't figure out what these things were, and when he kept speculating in his mind, two monsters had already jumped to his side, one grabbed Wu Xie's foot and pulled it down, the other One fell directly on his neck, Wu Xie knew that there would be no chance to change the bullets, so he turned the gun into a hammer, and slapped the monster's face hard.

Zhang Yan quietly looked at everything below in the dark place above, growth is necessary, but it is impossible to say that you can rest assured that you can leave it to Lao You.

But Wu Xie, who was under Zhang Yan's side, couldn't help but stare at the face cracked by him, what did this "human" face do?How could it be so dry?But before he could take a closer look, another monster pulling his ankle suddenly exerted force, pulling Wu Xie staggeringly. Wu Xie couldn't resist this thing at all, so he jumped down with its strength, and immediately Then he grabbed the nearby bronze branch with one hand, and put the other hand against the monster's throat and fired a shot, blasting the thing's head off with a "bang".The huge recoil almost threw him off the branch.At this time, the monster that slapped his face just now suddenly hung upside down, with a claw stuck to his neck, and Wu Xie was lifted up.

Just when Wu Xie hit the monster's face indiscriminately, it happened to hit the crack. The monster immediately let out a strange cry, suddenly let go of its claws, jumped onto the branch above his head, and grabbed his face frantically.

Wu Xie immediately lost his support, and all the weight returned to his hands. He didn't catch it all at once, and fell straight down for more than one meter. He hurriedly hugged a protruding bronze branch to stop his body. When he looked up, he saw the monster His face was completely shattered, turning into small pieces of white fragments, which began to fall off like milk skin.

After the stone face fell off, there was actually a face covered with yellow hair inside.

Wu Xie took a closer look at the face, suddenly realized, and yelled to the following: "Old itch! I know what these **** are. These fucking monkeys are all monkeys, big monkeys!"

Zhang Yan has been keeping an eye on the actions below until he saw Wu Xie had an idea and sent out a signal bomb to scare away the Chi Gu, then he was slightly relieved and started to climb up. He really needed to hurry up to check it out. What's the situation, by the way, verify the truth of what Lao You said.

He quickly climbed up the denser and denser tree branches, and soon came to a group of mummified corpses. The corpses were blown into corpses by the hot wind blowing down from above, twisted weirdly, hands and feet stuck in the dense branches, When Zhang Yan looked at this "sacrifice area" and wanted to get the bell, he realized that it couldn't be used here at all...unless his mental power was strong enough to crush the mental power of the whole bronze tree...

Zhang Yan continued to go up in silence. After passing through a section of hanging corpses, he saw that the bronze tree poles that went up were covered with faces one after another, or that kind of weird masks. The faces were attached to the ravine. On the overgrown bronze tree, when illuminated by the flowing light, different expressions appeared, such as pain, depression, ferociousness, or sinister smile...

Looking at the strange scene in front of him that could almost drive people with intensive phobia crazy, Zhang Yan looked indifferent, raised his sword and began to step on it directly, and after sensing the smell on the sword, the faces moved quickly and avoided The landing point that Zhang Yan passed by looked like beetles with human faces scurrying around one after another.

After passing through the Gu worm area, continue to go up to the top of the tree, where it is wrapped by a large group of banyan tree roots. This thing is like a pale ghost melon, twisted together like a twist, like a giant hand , grabbed this copper pillar, trying to pull it out of hell.It is also like a huge totem full of fossils, and there are four multi-handed statues around the top of the tree that are tightly entangled by tree roots and cannot be seen clearly.

Jumping onto the platform on the top of the bronze tree that was tightly entwined with tree roots, Zhang Yan walked up to a huge statue of a thousand hands wrapped around the tree roots, cut open the roots that blocked the statue's face, and observed carefully. The head is a snake head, the face is not a smile, the protruding mouth is slightly opened, the corners of the mouth are raised, it seems to be saying something and it seems to be mocking, the whole evil spirit is weird, and no matter from which angle you look at it, the stone statue seems to be Looking at Zhang Yan strangely, the hands in front of his chest are in a strange posture that seems to have held something, and there are hands behind him stretching out from the back of the stone statue, posing in various postures, as if struggling, and It seems to be grasping something, it looks incongruous and extremely real, it seems to be a portrait enlarged according to the real situation.

Zhang Yan looked at the statue carefully and earnestly, not being affected by the weirdness on it at all, and silently calculated and analyzed it in his heart.Suddenly his eyes narrowed, and he quickly looked towards the central raised area of ​​the altar, only to see a white figure standing on a slightly raised tree root wrapping the central altar, looking at him silently, as if he had been standing there for a long time .

Wu Xie and Lao Tiao continued to climb up after using signal flares to scare off the controlled monkey group, and the higher they went, the more confused the branches became. After they climbed forcibly for a while, the bronze branches were so dense that there was nowhere to intervene .

Because this section was too dangerous, neither of them spoke. Soon, under the light of the flashlight, Wu Xie discovered that the rock walls around the bronze tree also began to change. Natural stalactite cones and some dissolved rock curtains appeared. Beyond the scope of artificial excavation, the above section is already a naturally formed cave.

When passing through this section, the rock wall began to shrink, and some caves of different sizes began to appear on the rock walls on both sides. They were not deep, and the bottom could be seen. There seemed to be something in a few caves. There will also be a certain reaction. Wu Xie gradually feels a little uneasy. He didn't realize that the old itchy climbing in front had stopped. He didn't react until he hit the old itchy buttocks. When he looked up, he saw many That kind of masked monkey corpse, with twisted and weird limbs, that weird mask didn't fall off as the corpse shriveled up, still staring at the two of them silently, as if it would be resurrected at any time.

The two couldn't help slowing down, carefully observing these strange things,

The monkey's body seems to be suffering from a skin disease. Most of the hair has fallen off, showing a gray color. It looks a bit similar to human skin, but if you look closely, you can find very obvious lesions. The mask looks like it is made of stone, and it is polished to perfection. Wu Xie even suspects that it might be made of porcelain. Judging from the joint between the mask and the monkey's head, the mask seems to be baked into the flesh, or some bloody method was used to remove it. It grows directly with the face.

Most of the mummies are complete, and only a few have only one limb left, probably because the age is too long and the corpses are too dry, which leads to natural fragmentation.

Wu Xie looked at these mummified corpses, and wanted to go up to check them, but hesitated for a while, fearing that he would cause unnecessary changes if he got closer, so he asked Lao Xie, "How long will it take to climb up like this now? It’s such a dense branch, it’s probably too exhausting to reach the top.”

The old itchy frowned and wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a while, he said, "The top will be sparse. When I was climbing, I only had a small flashlight, and the lighting was poor. I didn't notice whether there were these mummies. But anyway, there is a pillar in Huashan Mountain since ancient times, you will never climb to other places when you climb up..."

Wu Xie was right when he thought about it, and he didn't see Zhang Yan's figure after climbing for so long. He probably was on the higher side. I think it’s a bit weird, let’s talk about it after this paragraph.”

The old itchy looked at Wu Xie: "It makes sense, but wait a minute, I'll fire a flare to see if there's an ambush up there." Then he took out the flare gun, pointed it upwards, and fired a straight shot. gun.

The flare flew all the way to the top without hitting the head,

Wu Xie suddenly thumped in his heart, thinking that this kind of bullet can hit at least a height of more than 200 meters, so it is possible that there are still more than 200 meters to climb, hehe, that is really terrible.

The signal flare had already burned up and fell down. Wu Xie looked up, and sure enough, the branches became loose again not far up. The range of meters is not impossible to see, he can still see something, although he can't say what it is.

When the signal flare fell more than sixty meters away from the two of them, they suddenly saw a lot of protruding things on the copper tree pole at that section. When Wu Xie saw clearly what it was, the back of his head froze instantly. Numbness, cold sweat coming down to the soles of the feet - there is a distance of ten meters, and the bronze tree poles are covered with strange masked faces one after another, and even the signal flares fall down and pass through this area. Their faces moved, avoiding the scorching light ball one after another, looking like beetles with human faces one after another.

"Old Wu, that thing is actually alive!"

Wu Xie nodded, and immediately discussed with Lao Xie what to do.

"Old Wu, look at their reaction to the signal flare just now. These things must be afraid of light and heat. Let's light up the torches and walk up slowly. They dare not touch us." Old Itchy said to Wu Xie tentatively, Wu Xie immediately Shaking his head: "Don't be absolute, the temperature and brightness of the signal flares are very high. Of course they are afraid, but the torches are different. Don't forget the monkeys just now, they ran away when they encountered the signal flares, but if you scare them with the torches, they just It's just a step back, I guess if you go up with a torch, not only will you not be able to pass, but you will be surrounded, and it will be difficult to get out."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Old Tick asked immediately, "Do you have any ideas?"

Wu Xie nodded and said, "I don't have a ready-made idea, just a preliminary idea, I don't know if it will work."

Lao Xie immediately urged Wu Xie to say quickly, "I know you have a lot of tricks, so tell me quickly."

Wu Xie smiled, pointed to the rock wall tens of meters away, and said, "It's too dangerous to go up directly like this. These live masks must have some way to climb on our faces like monkeys. It is easy to cause accidents. We might as well go around, do you have any way for us to swing to the opposite rock wall, there are so many holes on it, it is not difficult to climb, and we can also take a good rest."

Old Tick looked at the direction Wu Xie was pointing at, and shouted, "Is... so far? Swing past?"

Wu Xie nodded.I made a gesture: "That's the only thought in my head, don't we still have the rope? Take it out and see if it's long enough. If this trick doesn't work, I think I have to go down and bring a flamethrower next time."

Lao Xie took out the rope from the two people's packages, and made a gesture. After finding that it was not long enough, Wu Xie had an idea again, split the double-strand rope into a single-strand rope, and connected them into one. Wu Xie took the connected rope Handed it to Old Itch, he took out a water bottle from his backpack, tied it with a sailor knot, used it as a heavy object, and threw it to the opposite side. After several failures, he finally wrapped around a stalagmite on the opposite side. Once pulled, the rope is taut and fixed very firmly.

"Okay," said Old Tick, "it's finally done, Old Wu, let's not talk about this rope, can the rocks on the opposite side hold it?"

Wu Xie shrugged, "I don't know." At the same time, he was also thinking about what would happen if the stone couldn't stand it. It would probably swing back to the side of the bronze tree. If he was lucky, he would hit the tree trunk and be half dead. Insert the branches of the tree directly into a sieve?

This side of the rope was also tied to a bronze branch, and Lao Xie tied a special knot so that when the two of them passed by, they could untie this knot on the opposite side. This knot was very complicated, and Wu Dazzled by Xie's eyes, he couldn't help asking Lao You where he learned this skill, but Lao You said that he was in prison.

Wu Xie didn't believe it very much, but still tied the rope with the old itch.

After tying up the rope, Wu Xie wanted to call Lao Tick to start climbing. Lao Tick shook his head like a rattle, looked at him with eyes like he would not be the first to climb, Wu Xie helplessly yelled twice , Old Itchy still shook his head desperately, Wu Xie couldn't help cursing inwardly, bit the bullet and went up first.
