Chapter 65
Li Heng's eyes sank slightly, and his subordinates no longer exerted any force, but gently fiddled with the rocks and soil like a professional archaeologist, clearing out the buried things little by little.

This human bone slowly revealed its complete outline from the earth and rocks underground, even though it had been broken by Li Heng.

To be fair, this scene should be very scary and appalling.

It was pitch black in the middle of the night, surrounded by uninhabited deep mountains and old forests. I was alone in this desperate situation that seemed isolated from the world, and even dug out a human skeleton from the ground with my bare hands.

Coupled with the whimpering wind from all around and the strange screams of various unknown creatures deep in the mountains, there is a sense of terror as if you are in a dark world. This is at least a restricted-level shot of a suspenseful horror movie.

It is thanks to Li Heng, a guy with a mental power of [-], who has the willpower that can be called the limit of human beings, so he can continue to "work" here with a blank face. It doesn't look like digging bones in the mountains Instead, play with the sand at the resort beach.

On the surface, it seems that this is at most a case of homicide and dumping of corpses many years ago, and in order to prevent exposure, it was smuggled to such a place far away from human traces for burial.

This kind of thing has happened a lot in the past, and when encountering this kind of thing, call the relevant department to see if it is related to some old cases and it's over.

But as long as you think about it a little bit, you will feel extremely unreasonable.

What kind of murderer kills and buries the corpse to plant a tree on it, and even fertilize it thoughtfully?And his mother is a seven lixiang.

Why, the road to Huangquan is fragrant all the way?

If you really want to say, this kind of scene is more like... using this person as the nourishment for this tree?
However, this kind of conjecture is a bit too scary, and there is a bit of evil in it.

"The world is full of mysteries"

Li Heng thought.

Continue to carefully push aside the earth and rocks and dig down. The hole is getting deeper and bigger, and about one-third of the roots of the Qilixiang tree have been exposed.

And the shape of this skeleton is also roughly presented. All parts of the skeleton have disintegrated under the weight of earth, stones and trees, but the shape of each part can be roughly seen, ribs, shoulder blades, cervical vertebra... scattered In the soil and stone layer, the roots of Qilixiang have been deeply embedded in these bones and blended into one, inseparable.

As Li Heng continued to excavate, more bones appeared in the shape of a human body, but...

Only one part was missing, a crucial part - the head!
There were no skull remains near the cervical vertebrae, and Li Heng searched a large area nearby but couldn't find them.

As for the complete decay of the skull, it is impossible, because even the bones of these torso parts are still preserved, and the skull with the highest hardness and density in the human body is even less likely to disappear.

Buried here is a headless corpse.

The head is missing, which is really baffling.

"This headless corpse became the nutrient of this Qilixiang tree, so that it can grow on this barren and desolate rocky slope"

Li Heng supported the Qilixiang tree, and with a slight force, the whole tree trembled, and a few fallen leaves fell, and Li Heng stretched out his hand to catch it.

Put it under your nose and smell it carefully.

"It's really fragrant, much stronger than what I used to grow in some indoor bonsai"

There is a saying in the eastern island country that there are corpses buried under the cherry tree-the cherry blossoms bloom brilliantly and lushly because they absorb the nutrients of the corpses, and the more corpses buried, the more brilliant the flowers bloom.

Of course, this is a metaphorical statement, which means that the more sacrifices, the more you get. In a sense, it is their interpretation of their own nationality in certain times.

But what is this now, what does the tree planted on the corpse want?
It's a pity that he doesn't have any analytical instruments on hand now, so he has no way to chemically identify these plant components, and he can't detect too many things just by smelling them.

It seems that there will be no conclusions for a while, so Li Heng decided to take a break first and simply replenish his energy.

As for supplementary means...

He glanced at the crevice of the stone not far away, where there was a piece of fresh meat.

He picked up the two-meter-long ground prince snake that died in the claws of the old cat, and then tore off the outer layer of snake skin with a simple pinch of his fingers, exposing the bright red snake meat inside.

Simply building a bracket with stones on the stone slope, and finding dry branches and weeds from the woods, Li Heng built a simple barbecue stall on the spot.

In fact, with his current physical constitution, he can eat raw meat directly without cooking cooked food, and he doesn't have to worry about bacterial pathogens. The immune system is so powerful.

But after all, as a person all the year round, eating raw meat directly is still a bit awkward, and besides, it tastes better when it is cooked.

Unless it is an extremely urgent situation, in order to replenish energy immediately, they will eat raw flesh and blood.

The crackling flames danced and reflected on Li Heng's face, and the smell of meat came from in front of him. This was the first time he ate snake meat.

"Meow-"

A long cat's meow came from afar, and a cat's head was recorded on the edge of the stone slope not far away. The green cat's eyes stared straight at this side, and the melodious cry was full of grievances and unwilling sorrows.

This snake corpse was clearly the spoils of his own bloody battle and injured a foot. It was originally saved and intended to be used as a food reserve for the next few days, but it was snatched by other guys like this. After the end, he still couldn't beat this guy. You said you are not angry with people, not... you are not angry with cats!
Seeing the big cat wanting to come but not daring to come, Li Heng smiled and cut off a piece of cooked snake meat and threw it over.

"Meow~"

Seeing the steaming snake meat rolling to him not far away, a wisp of fragrance hooked it even more.

In the end, it couldn't bear it any longer and jumped up to eat and chew with a meow, during which time it made noises of snoring and protecting food from time to time.

Li Heng also got up to eat, biting the hot snake body and tearing off the meat on it.

The entrance of the snake meat is very firm and lean. At first, Li Heng thought that the taste of the snake meat might be similar to that of rice field eel, but after tasting it, he found that the taste was too strong, and it didn't have the expected strong fishy smell.

After the snake gallbladder and a bunch of internal organs have been cleaned up, eating only the snake meat has a very light and refreshing taste. Although there is no seasoning available, it is not difficult to swallow.

Li Heng couldn't help secretly thinking that it was fun, and another gain from traveling all over the world is that he can taste all kinds of unprecedented flavors.

One person, one cat, deep in the mountains, eating snakes in the dark.

The servings were delicious and weird.

While eating, Li Heng stopped suddenly, biting and chewing stopped, as if the snake meat in his mouth was no longer tasty.

He stood up suddenly, and the speed of the movement scared the old cat who was still eating the snake to reeling.

Li Heng returned to the position of the Qilixiang tree again, and slowly walked a few steps around the trunk of the tree. His feet seemed to be strictly following some rules, and he stopped after seven steps.

He looked up in the darkness, only the majestic silhouette of another behemoth under the faint starlight in his field of vision.

After being stunned for a while, Li Heng looked down at the skeleton in the tree pit again, with a rare sense of surprise in his eyes.

"What the hell...someone wants to become a fairy!"
