Chapter 116
"I just said hello."

Bai Yue stabbed the opponent with his long sword angrily: "Don't yell, just be quiet."

The tree trembled visibly to the naked eye, and it immediately turned around, revealing the strange child-like face in the center of the trunk.

"I'm sorry..."

Guimu's facial features were wrinkled at this moment. It looked at Bai Yue pitifully and said in a humble tone: "As long as you can let me go, I will do anything."

"Lao Lu, is this thing the rumored deep-seated evil black and white ghost tree that has bewitched countless explorers?"

Yan Li, who was standing aside, was obviously a little surprised and asked in a low voice to his companion.

"Obviously..." Lu Wenjin subconsciously took out a small camera and recorded the scene in front of him.

"The black and white ghost tree has always been the most cruel and terrifying apex predator in the shallow forest..."

Ji Sixuan boldly came to Bai Yue's side. She observed the branches and leaves of the ghost tree at close range: "However, this ghost tree seems a bit young."

"No, no, no, I'm not cruel or scary at all. I'm just a weak young tree that has never hurt a living person!"

The ghost tree looked sad, and quickly expressed his harmless identity to Bai Yue: "Your pet must have remembered it wrong!"

"Eh? Pet?" Miss Ji was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the petite white-haired girl jumped on the spot and said angrily: "I am not a pet!"

"Ah! I'm sorry!" In panic, Guimu shook its branches and apologized sincerely to Bai Yue again: "I accidentally offended your food..."

"Okay, okay, don't mention this anymore."

Bai Yue pressed down the furious Miss Ji with a look of helplessness, raised his head and told Guimu his purpose: "The four of us are new here, so we need a local guide to show us the way."

"Where do you want to go?" Guimu asked cautiously.

"The deepest part of the shallow forest."

Bai Yue said bluntly.

Lu Wenjin's map has lost its usefulness. If you don't want to waste time wandering around the outskirts of the shallow forest, seeking help from the locals is naturally the best choice.

Bai Yue took a step forward, looked directly into the other party's twisted dark eyes, and showed a friendly smile: "You must be willing to help us, right?"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

The childish voice of the young ghost tree was already crying. The next moment, one after another, dark branches dropped down, and a ladder of branches leading to the crown of the tree was laid under the four people's feet.

Bai Yue smiled with satisfaction, turned around and greeted his companions.

"Come up the tree, everyone, the matter has been settled." He sighed: "I didn't expect the local children to be quite enthusiastic."

"That...Brother Bai..."

Yan Li in the team twitched the corners of his mouth: "It's almost crying. It doesn't look very 'enthusiastic'..."

"What do you know about food!" The tearful young ghost immediately retorted: "I am moved to tears!"

Yan Li:......

Lu Wenjin:...

Miss Ji angrily stepped on the branches and followed Bai Yue's footsteps. The four of them soon reached the top of the ghost tree's canopy. Although they still couldn't see the sky of the forest, the view from the canopy was obviously much wider.

The ground shook, and the terrifying black and white ghost tree uprooted the twisted roots buried deep in the ground. The wriggling and sharp roots were like flexible tentacles, and it began to crawl towards the depths of the shallow forest.

"By the way, please turn off the lantern."

The moving young ghost tree made a request to Baiyue: "The whole forest is moving away from your light."

Bai Yue nodded, put away the lantern, closed his eyes and controlled his breath.

And the moment Bai Yue lost his breath, the forest finally revealed its most sinister nature.

Thick fog began to roll in, sight was everywhere, and scalp-numbing whispers sounded one after another.They officially entered the crisis-ridden Whispering Forest.

The three people next to the young man looked at each other. They were all smart people and naturally understood Bai Yue's extraordinary qualities. However, as the journey progressed, Bai Yue's identity became more and more mysterious to them...

Ji Sixuan glanced at Bai Yue's side face.

Maybe... he is also a monster like the black swan Zhu Yesi. Like the radiant dancer, he is born to be the darling of the deep.

The girl began to think wildly.

Bai Yue seems to run a small bookstore in the lower city. According to the financial resources of the Ji family, it should be an easy thing to buy his small bookstore in full...

The little rich woman clenched her pink fist and secretly made up her mind.

On the other side, Lu Wenjin looked excited.

"We actually tamed the black and white ghost wood as a mount..."

He held up the camera, turned the camera and murmured to himself: "This may be the most exciting material I have taken this year..."

But in the next moment, Lu Wenjin's expression dropped, and his excitement completely dissipated.

He saw human corpses directly in front of him.

A dense mass of corpses.

The young ghost tree passed by its kind, and the dark brown blood soaked the torso of the adult ghost tree. The miserable corpses were hung on the branches like fruits, swaying in the air in the wind.

Whispers of pain and despair gradually became clearer.

"Save us...please save us..."

"I want to go home...my daughter is still waiting for me to come home..."

The wrinkled old face on the tree trunk is smiling viciously, continuing to attract new prey with whispers of food.

"Stowaways..."

Yan Li couldn't help but murmured: "Those are all stowaways who are trying to collect resources in the shallow forest..."

At this moment, the mature ghost tree suddenly turned around. It seemed to notice the living breath of the young ghost tree, and an ecstatic smile appeared on the old face.

The ground began to shake, and its roots began to slowly crawl forward, just like a cat playing with a mouse. It began to enjoy the struggle of its prey.

"It's following..."

The young ghost trees let out a low cry of fear. In the shallow whispering forest, immature trees are also the prey of the same kind.

"Don't be afraid, keep going deeper."

Bai Yue opened his eyes and glanced at the wailing corpse behind him, his eyes as calm as ever.

The atmosphere became dull.

Gradually, there were more and more black and white tree shadows behind everyone.

Stowaways, company employees, uptowners, downtowners...

Plenty of 'fruits' surrounded everyone, their faces were full of pain and madness, the entire shallow forest was like a cemetery of despair, and the hell-like scene was shocking.

The faces of the three young people became paler.

Even though they knew that the truth about Whispering Qianlin had always been so cruel, witnessing these tragic situations so close to home finally shook their will.

Finally, the young Onimu stopped where he was.

It has nowhere to go, and the ghostly world of black and white is filled with cruel smiles and desperate cries.
