Under the Tree

The rolling leaf fir was still growing. Several of its roots eagerly pulled out from the soil and danced wildly in the air.

Filled with fresh blood, they emanated a terrifying aura and a nauseating smell of rot. Everyone could distinctively smell it even through the barrier, and their expressions soured at that.

"W-what's underneath the tree? Is that really… human blood in its roots?" Ye Ranran couldn't help but mutter this question under her breath. Otherwise, there's no explanation for that bloody smell. If it's really blood in there, that's truly terrifying! Just whose blood does it contain?!

Jiang Yucheng and his gang were silent though. Having been dragged underneath, they knew exactly what was going on down there.

"We can't stay here any longer! We have to leave right away!" As Qin Yi spoke, he silently looked at Chu Liuyue.
