Chapter 446 Weird Plants
The rain stopped, and the sky showed a little bit of starlight.

In the Taoist temple, we found some abandoned doors and windows, made a pyre and lit it, and baked the soaked clothes.

Strange to say, the altar, which had been shrouded in a strange atmosphere before, fell silent after the rain stopped, and nothing unusual could be seen.

Fatty Wang was still muttering just now that he wanted to tear down this harmful altar, but I was concerned about that fleeting figure bound by iron chains, so I didn't want to cause trouble.

Two consecutive vicious fights almost exhausted me. If it weren't for the manifestation of the Milong Sword left by our ancestors, we might have turned into a corpse.

There was still some dry bread in the backpack, and now that I was free, I realized that I was very hungry, so I gorged myself with mineral water.

Fatty Wang gnawed on the bread while looking at the golden Dao crown in his hand, with a pair of small mung bean eyes, his smile narrowed his eyes.

"When it's dawn, we must look for it in the Taoist temple, maybe there will be other gains." Fatty Wang chewed the bread in his mouth, and said vaguely.

I didn't speak, and stared at the altar in the backyard. The "desolation" mentioned in the ancestor's notes always made me inexplicably uneasy.

Fortunately, the altar remained unchanged after the rain stopped, giving us a precious chance to breathe.

"You guys go to bed first, I will keep watch tonight." Ghost detective Xu played with the dagger in his hand.

"Then I'll get up for you later?" I took out my phone and checked the time.

"Of course, three people take turns to watch the night. Remember to wake up the fat man later." After Fatty Wang finished speaking, he drank a big mouthful of water, lay down on the ground, and snored soon after.

I glanced at Fatty Wang and gave a wry smile. I was a little envious of this guy, so I fell asleep as soon as I said it.

"You should go to bed early, too. I'll watch in the first half of the night." Ghost detective Xu flipped through the clothes on the pole.

I was indeed very tired, and I was not polite to Ghost Explorer. I used my backpack as a pillow and fell asleep when I lay down.

The temperature was a little low at night, but fortunately there was a fire next to it, so it wasn't particularly cold.

Nothing happened all night, Fatty Wang took turns in the second half of the night, and I replaced Ghost Detective Xu, so I squinted for a while.

When I opened my eyes, it was already bright, and I stretched myself out, remembering the strange dream I had last night.

In the dream, I was holding the Milong Sword in my hand, and while I was dancing, thunder flashed, and I was fighting with a vague figure.

The demonic energy of that figure was overwhelming, and the body was bound with iron chains. Every time he punched, it could drive the aura of heaven and earth, and the oppressed people could hardly breathe.

I wasted all my strength, and finally pierced the opponent's forehead with a sword, sealing that blurred figure deep in the mountains.

When I woke up, many details in the dream were blurred, only the monstrous magic flame of the other party left a deep impression on me.

My heart is a little heavy. If I guess correctly, the figure with the monstrous magic flame is the "Huang" mentioned in the ancestor's notes.

Thinking of the fleeting figure on the altar in the thunderstorm night yesterday, I quickly walked out of the hall and walked towards the altar in the backyard.

Fatty Wang was on duty in the second half of the night, and he got up earlier than us. As soon as it was dawn, he had already searched the wing room in the backyard.

As soon as I approached the backyard, I happened to see this guy walking out of a wing at the end empty-handed and dejected.

"It's really a group of poor ghosts. The room is so empty that it can almost run away mice." Fatty Wang came here muttering.

"You run faster than anyone else when things happen, but you are not far behind in getting rich." I glared at that guy.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning sprinkled the wild grass in the yard with water droplets.

The stone altar looked ordinary at the moment, and no one could see anything abnormal.

I ignored the few trapped dragon stakes, walked around the altar, and stood on it cautiously. After a while, the altar did not respond.

Fatty Wang found a hoe from nowhere, and walked over with an unfriendly expression, stood by the side of the altar, without making a sound, picked up the hoe and smashed it down.

"Your sister, let you scare the fat man, smash you to pieces this time, and see if you can make any trouble." Fatty Wang muttered while swinging the hoe vigorously.

I held the Milong Sword nervously, and stood aside vigilantly, for fear that something might happen.

The stone altar was so badly weathered that a single corner could be smashed with a hoe, and after being swung a few times, the table was already covered with cracks.

I don't know if it was the evil spirits attached to the altar that were wiped out by us, or for some other reason, but after Fatty Wang smashed the altar into pieces of rubble, there was no other change in the altar.

Fatty Wang was tired from smashing, so he threw away the hoe angrily, kicked the gravel on the ground, and muttered something in his mouth.

I relaxed my nerves, took a step back, and couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or happiness.

As he lowered his head to think about something, Ghost Detective Xu came out lazily, knocked on a few bronze pillars curiously, and looked at the layout of the backyard.

"Where are we going next, move on?" Ghost Detective Xu took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"According to the instructions of the dragon vein map, we should start our journey from now on, and we should be able to reach our destination before the sun sets." I looked into the distance.

"I hope there will be no more moths. Fatty is really fed up." Fatty Wang complained while wiping his forehead.

In the backyard of the Taoist temple, there is a path leading to the depths of the mountains. It is winding and winding, and it can't be seen at a glance.

The correction is almost done, we leave this Taoist temple and move on.

On both sides of the path, there are tall trees, the branches and leaves block the sunlight, and the surrounding light is a bit dim.

After a night's rest, we regained our energy and hurried on our way one by one.

About to walk for half an hour, I suddenly found that something was wrong with the surrounding environment.

I frowned and stopped, and looked around uneasily, feeling that something was wrong.

"Oh my god, have you noticed that all the plants here are several times larger than those outside?" Fatty Wang suddenly shouted in a fuss.

With a twitch of my eyelids, I finally found the source of my uneasiness. The surrounding flowers and trees were indeed very abnormal.

Take an ordinary saber-tooth grass as an example, if it grows outside, it will be as tall as a calf at most.

But when I saw a saber-toothed grass beside me, it grew taller than me, and the sharp saber teeth made people feel chills.

Before, we just kept our heads on the road and didn't notice the abnormality of these plants at all. Now we observe carefully, but the more we look at it, the more frightened we become.

"What's going on here? Before, I wondered that the nearby trees were abnormally tall. When I came here, I didn't expect that even the flowers and plants had changed." Ghost Detective Xu's tone was a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, I guess it should be the abnormal growth of vegetation caused by the mutation of the dragon's veins." I carefully observed the surroundings and expressed my analysis.

"Oh my god, I saw a pitcher plant just now. It's a bit exaggeratedly big. I think it can be swallowed by a human." Fatty Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead, his small eyes flashed uneasy.

"It's all here, we can't go back, let's keep going forward." I took a few deep breaths, calmed down my uneasiness, and strode forward.

Because of the abnormal growth of vegetation, we moved forward this time with a lot of caution, bypassing some plants that looked very dangerous along the way.

"Have you noticed that the further you go, the more exaggerated the proportion of these plants will grow. Just now I saw a foxtail, which was almost as tall as a small tree." Fatty Wang swallowed nervously.

"If it weren't for reference objects like stones, I would have doubts. We have become smaller collectively." Ghost Detective Xu smiled wryly.

"Everyone, be careful. I found that there are more and more aggressive plants nearby." I looked around anxiously.

In fact, there are many dangerous plants in the jungle, especially when the size of these plants increases several times at once, it can be called a nightmare for human beings.

We carefully avoided a pitcher plant. Just looking at the leaves, they are half the size of our body. If a person is accidentally swallowed, it may not be possible to come out alive.

"Look quickly, why is there a human face on that tree?" Ghost Detective Xu grabbed my arm, his voice trembling, I don't know if it was excitement or fear.

I followed Ghost Tan Xu's gaze, and my pupils shrank slightly.

Not far ahead, there is an unknown old tree with a thick trunk, which requires at least five adults to hug.

What's even more strange is that on the trunk of the old tree, a human face appeared, with eyes and a nose, staring at this side with icy eyes.

"What the hell is that in front? The old tree has become a spirit?" Fatty Wang was timid, shrank his neck, and hid behind me.

I rested for a night yesterday, and the yang energy in my body has been restored to a good degree. With the yang energy protection, coupled with the Milong sword, my courage has suddenly increased a bit.

I didn't take a detour, and walked straight to the strange tree with a human face. The trunk of the strange tree trembled slightly. I don't know if it was blown by the wind or the strange tree did it on purpose.

As we got closer, there was a strange sound coming from the foot in front of me. I squinted my eyes and looked forward, and saw some vines swimming towards the side like snakes.

With my previous experience in the forest, I am now a little allergic to things like vines. Before the vines approached, I immediately took out a few pieces of talisman paper and squeezed them in my hands.

Those few vines, attached to the strange tree, stretched out relentlessly.

I was already nervous in my heart, and seeing those few vines rushing towards me, I subconsciously threw the talisman paper in my hand.

The talisman paper spontaneously ignited in mid-air without fire, and happened to land on one of the vines, and the vine quickly shrank back as if it had been electrocuted.

I have already walked up to that strange tree, and the face on the trunk saw that I drove away the vines with the talisman paper, and there was a venomous light in the eyes.

With the Milong sword in hand, I didn't bother with the demon tree's nagging, and swung the long sword, stabbing at that human face.

The lightning flashed, and the Milong sword pierced the trunk of the strange tree, the bark around it was scorched black, but the strange face disappeared all of a sudden, as if it had never appeared before.

Suddenly, the branches and leaves of the entire giant tree began to tremble, and dead leaves the size of a palm kept falling from the tree.

A strong uneasiness rose in my heart, I hastily pulled out the Milong Sword, and retreated quickly.
