I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 321 Trees

The sky was slightly bright, and even in the daytime, the woods were shrouded in gloomy clouds and fog, but the fog had dissipated a lot compared to last night, and the distance could barely be seen.

"Dawn. There seems to be no movement outside." Hubert said in a low voice.

Ling Yun nodded, and after waking up his sleeping companion, he went out to investigate the situation first.

Hearing the sound of someone opening the door, Shen Tinglan opened his eyes in a daze, but suddenly found that Su Li's beautiful face was less than ten centimeters away from him.

At this moment, I was pillowing on Su Li's arm, and the two of them slept together in an ambiguous position like a couple.

? ? ? ?
The moment his brain shut down and restarted, Shen Tinglan sat up suddenly, really not knowing what he did last night.

After noticing the movement, Su Li also opened his eyes.

"Are you awake? Do you feel better?" Su Li touched Shen Tinglan's forehead, his eyes were full of worry: "The fever hasn't subsided yet."

"I... I'm fine. Feeling better now."

Shen Tinglan stumbled to answer the other party, seeing Su Li rubbing his sore arm, his ears turned red all over.He was in a hurry to get dressed, but the wound on his back was involved, and he grinned suddenly.

"Raise your arms lightly." Su Li took the jacket, and calmly helped Shen Tinglan put on the shirt and protective clothing, while not forgetting to remind the other party to pay attention to the injury.

Feeling the other person's hand gently passing through her waist, Shen Tinglan hesitated and said: "If I offended you in any way last night, I apologize to you. I don't know what I did..."

"It's okay." Su Li didn't seem to care, tucked up all the clothes for the other party, and picked up the belt again.

"This, I can do this by myself." On the contrary, Shen Tinglan was as shy as a girl, blushing and snatched the belt from the other party.Su Li didn't insist anymore, she took out a rubber band from her pocket, and spread her smooth black hair over her shoulders.

Although there was no makeup and there was some dust on her face, it did not affect her beauty in the slightest.

Su Li combed her beautiful hair with her fingers, letting a few strands of hair hang by her ears, and calmly tied it into a high ponytail.Compared with the usual image of an ice beauty with long hair loose, she now looks extraordinarily heroic in a military uniform.

Shen Tinglan was a little dazed watching it, and only remembered to fasten his belt after a few seconds.

One of the two is calm and composed, while the other is in a hurry. This scene really makes people laugh.

Shen Tinglan secretly rejoiced that if Ling Yun, Zhao Sicheng and others hadn't gone out to check the situation, seeing such a scene, they must have ridiculed themselves severely.

"Okay, let's go out and have a look." After getting dressed, Shen Tinglan adjusted his mood, and finally regained his usual composure.

Looking at the forest through the thick gray fog, the bearded trees are crowded together, like ghosts, hunchbacked, teeth and claws, gathered in various strange postures, silently staring at the wooden house.

Ling Yun pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, looking at the forest in the distance, his originally relaxed expression suddenly became weird.

Soon, the other companions also woke up and walked out of the wooden house one after another.

"How did those trees become like this?!"

Tang Yao looked at the forest in front of her in surprise. The forest at this time was different from yesterday. After one night, they all became like sunflowers, showing the same growth trend: the dark tree trunks were like soft snakes, and the tacit morning Nodding while looking into the depths of the forest.

These trees look like a group of believers, worshiping something devoutly.

Tang Yao suddenly realized that the twisted direction of the forest should be the location of the tree temple in the center.

"Not only that, in front..." Ling Yun raised his hand and pointed somewhere: "There is an extra tree."

At this time, other people have also come out of the shelter.

Everyone is a veteran player who has experienced many battles. Although he knew that the strange situation in front of him indicated that there must be danger in the future, they all stabilized their minds and did not get too flustered.

Wearing a coat, Zhao Sicheng stepped forward, squinted his eyes carefully, stretched out his hand and gestured for a long time, and retreated to the door of the wooden house.

After a while, he suddenly said seriously: "Hey! Ling Yun is really right!"

He pointed to an old tree with a crooked neck in the forest in front of him, and vowed: "I kept staring out of the gate during the vigil last night. I can be sure that there was no such tree at that time, it definitely appeared out of thin air! "

"Are you sure?" Hubert asked back.

He and Ling Yun were in charge of guarding the last shift. Hubert clearly remembered that at about five o'clock in the morning, the fog outside became thicker and thicker, and even the shadows of trees could not be seen.

But even so, the forest was always silent. If it was what Zhao Sicheng said, at least he and Ling Yun could hear the rustling of leaves when the trees moved.No way, this tree grew out of the ground out of thin air.

The blood tide had disappeared, and Shen Tinglan, supported by Su Li, followed the crowd to the tree Ling Yun and Zhao Sicheng pointed to.

The thick smell of blood in the forest has not completely dissipated, Ling Yun caressed the rough and slippery tree trunk, and saw that the moss near the tree roots was still stained with some dark black substances, exuding a faint smell of decay.

"Really,"

Zhao Sicheng walked over unhurriedly, looked up at the top of the tree: "Look at this tree, it looks exactly like the one on the poster of "The Conjuring 1"! It has such a unique shape, how could I not remember it. This tree came from Strange, be careful when you stand under the tree, don't hang down a hanging rope for a while."

Hearing what he said, Wei Chongming, who was still stroking the trunk and looking around, suddenly shivered and withdrew his hand.

He rolled his eyes at Zhao Sicheng, and rubbed his palms angrily: "It's broad daylight, don't mess with those gods and ghosts!"

"It seems that what you said is correct." Lin Qing used a shovel to dig up the ground near the crooked-neck old tree, and found that the soil had indeed been turned over.

There are still black bloodstains and turf left in the soft soil that smells fishy, ​​and a few chicken feathers can be vaguely seen in it, which should be left by the pheasant that was devoured last night.

Ling Yun observed the strange trees in front of him: Poland has vast primeval forests, most of which are world-famous for their pine, beech, fir, yew, and larch.

The impression of a pine tree should be tall and straight, but now, the tree in front of it is almost bent into a C shape, and even the exposed roots are twisted like several thick black pythons.

It looks a hundred years old, and the trunk needs to be surrounded by four or five adults hugging each other.

The surface of this tree is covered with dense tumor-shaped tree galls. What's even more weird is that the lines on the tree galls are twisted and twisted, and when combined, they look like human faces with painful and hideous expressions.

At first glance, the tree seemed to be full of human heads, and those black heads were crowded together, as if they would scramble to fall from the tree in the next second and pounce on the people below.

　The prototype of the twisted forest here is indeed from Poland. If you are interested, you can search the Polish West Pomeranian Forest.
