Everyone ran forward desperately.

Behind him, the disciples bound by tree roots let out a shrill scream.

Some of them are calling for their teammates to save themselves.

Others are loudly cursing their teammates who are desperate.

But no one stopped, no one even looked back, the screams became weaker and weaker, and finally calmed down.

After a few forks, Deng Chong, who was leading the way at the front, slowly stopped.

When everyone got to a safe place, Deng Chong found that there were a few fewer people.

It is estimated that he lost it when he passed the fork in the road just now.

Under such circumstances, Deng Chong would not be able to take everyone back to find them.

All of a sudden, the total number of people in the team has dropped to more than 20, and several disciples are still injured.

There are quite a few members of Deng Chong's team, after all, they are all elite disciples.

Deng Chong was quite depressed, he just felt that there was an evil fire in his heart that could not be released, which made him uncomfortable.

He clenched his fists and slammed into the stone wall next to him.

Just listening to the sound of "bang", the stone walls were smashed.

Li Mi hurriedly came over to hold Deng Chong, and comforted him quietly beside him.

"What are you doing?

It's not your fault either, even if you knock out your fist, these people won't come back! "

"Cheer up, you have to protect them when you encounter beasts again!"

After speaking, Li Mi raised her voice again, speaking in a voice that the surrounding disciples could hear.

"This underground altar already has a lot of evil, and the people who came in before have never gone out."

"Deng Chong, don't blame yourself too much, life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven."

"Since everyone has entered the underground altar, they should understand the truth of seeking wealth and danger!"

"It's good that these people can survive. Fortunately, this secret realm will be closed in a few hours. As long as we don't encounter danger during this time, we can get out alive."

"This is not a place to talk. If you really want to encounter a beast attack, there is no place to hide. Let's continue on our way."

As Li Mi spoke, he paid attention to the expressions of the disciples around him.

He found that everyone's faces had softened a lot.

He went on to say,

"Deng Chong, when there is danger, you are also at the forefront, the brothers will not blame you!"

"Maybe we will meet fierce beasts in a while, and then we will have to rely on you!"

When Li Mi said this, the people around him had already reacted, and everyone still had to rely on Deng Chong.

Someone had already cleared their throats and started to flatter Li Mi's words.

"Thanks to Senior Brother Deng's protection all the way, we can get here."

"If it weren't for Senior Brother Deng, we would be really hard-pressed in this tunnel."

"Brother Deng, you must cheer up, we still have to rely on you!"

...

Deng Chong didn't speak, and after a long sigh, he continued on with the rest.

At this moment, many people in the team thought of Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan once said that he would never abandon any injured teammate.

If they hadn't entered the underground altar with Deng Chong at that time.

Instead, he chose to stay with Gu Yuan to kill the wind wolf. Maybe the ending would be different, right?

Not to mention, if they were with Gu Yuan, at least they would get a lot more Feng Lingzhu.

At this time, their greatest hope is to return to Tiandao Sect safely.

As for the treasures of heaven and earth in this underground altar, they are no longer in the mood to think about it.

The originally high-spirited team is now downcast, and has long lost the ambition when they first entered the tunnel.

They didn't even go back to look at the teammates behind them.

They all understand that the teammates who were left in place by the roots may have been sucked up by the roots of the blood-sucking tree.

Like those hides that are just empty shells.

Even if they go back now, it can't save them, it can only add to the sadness.

...

...

Where they had just escaped, the disciples who were hung up by the roots of the tree were struggling desperately.

And the reason why they stopped yelling and screaming was because their facial features were pierced by tree roots.

The roots of the tree pierced their throats and pierced their vocal cords.

The blood poured out like a fountain, and the roots were eager to share the long-lost feast.

For the disciples who were hanged up, countless holes were pierced through their bodies by the roots of the trees.

After they were sucked by the roots, they collapsed quickly.

These tree roots belong to the same big tree, to be precise, it is a tree demon that has lived for many years!

The tree demon controls the roots of the tree, and is unscrupulously sucking the flesh and blood of human cultivators.

Even the blood that flowed to the ground was sucked clean by it.

When the disciples were completely sucked by the roots, only the broken skins and blood-stained robes were left on the ground.

The roots curled up like snakes, surrounding the bloody robes in an effort to absorb the last drop of blood that could be absorbed.

Even their bones were liquefied by the sap injected by the roots and absorbed together.

After the tree demon had a full meal, he swayed his body contentedly.

On every part of the root of the tree, a silvery white light lit up.

All the tree roots are tied together one by one.

The silvery-white light on the whiskers, like waves, converged in the direction of the largest tree root, wave after wave.

The roots of the largest trees grew thicker and thicker, with a large bulge rising from the middle.

The raised bulge is getting bigger and bigger.

Like a pregnant woman who is about to give birth.

It's just that this pregnant woman is now in the shape of a big python, and the skin of the roots of a dead tree looks very strange.

The raised bulge on the root of the tree continues to grow.

When the bulging bulge finally reached the capacity to accommodate a person, it stopped growing.

The silver-white light on the roots of the tree continued to gather, transmitting nutrients to this bulge.

After half a cup of tea, the tree demon shook violently, as if experiencing heart-piercing pain.

After another half cup of tea, the bulging bulge on the root of the tree cracked open with a long gap.

The big tree demon continued to shake, and the gap was gradually getting longer.

It was not until the gap grew to more than a foot long and no longer continued to grow, that the big tree demon stopped shaking.

A tender white hand squeezed out from the cracked gap.

Soon, another small hand squeezed out.

Together, two small hands grabbed the two sides of the bulge from the inside of the bulge, and laboriously tore the dry bark to both sides.

This process is very long, the two little hands tear for a while, and then you have to stop and rest.

After about a stick of incense, a fair-skinned and beautiful girl emerged from the root of the tree.

At this moment, the big tree demon has her child, a little tree demon who can leave this place.

This child will replace her, enter the world of human comprehension, and live as a human comprehension from now on.
