Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 573 Unspeakable

  Baomu and Ah Zhen reacted quickly.

  The two of them jumped up almost at the same time, stepped to the side, and stood with the Child of Light.

  The Son of Light screamed desperately at the big tree they had been leaning on just now.

   Baomu first looked at where he was just standing.

   About one meter high on the tree, a branch as thick as a forearm grew out of it. The branch was trembling slightly, as if it was squirming.

  It should be this thing that touched yourself just now.

  The Son of Light stopped the two behind him, and the roar became more fierce.

   Click... Click...

  The strange noise in the forest gradually became dense. Suddenly, Baomu smelled a familiar smell.

  As soon as his head turned to the source of the smell, Ah Zhen yelled, "It moved!"

  The old tree in front of me no longer swayed with the wind, but moved as a whole.

  The branches of the old tree stretched around, and Baomu saw that the protruding branch grew a lot longer.

  Is it growing?

  No, it is not.

  The tree twisted a little bit. On the side of the tree trunk, there was a herringbone tree hole. The tree hole was dark and I couldn't see what was inside.

  The two looked at the tree hole quietly.

  A withered hand suddenly appeared at the edge of the tree hole, grabbing the trunk, and soon another hand appeared, grabbing the other end of the trunk...

  No, this is not a hand.

   Baomu felt nauseous in his stomach.

  It was the branch that just protruded from the trunk, and the two branches grew into the shape of a human hand, even with weird dark slime.

  Two hand-shaped branches each pulled one side of the tree hole, as if to tear the tree hole.

  In the tree hole, the outline of a human face gradually emerged.

  The familiar smell followed.

  Baomu was shocked, and grabbed Ah Zhen’s arm, "Be careful! This is the smell of one of the catfish!"

  A Zhen hadn't realized what Baomu meant, and only heard a scream, the figure in the tree hole whizzed out.

  The two retreated suddenly.

  The upper body of a black-clothed man leaned out of the tree hole and lay face down on the ground. He trembling arms, raised his head, and his eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes.

  Is one of the catfish!

   "Help..." The man stretched out his hand towards the two, his voice hoarse and weak, "I beg you...please..."

  A Zhen turned his head and looked at Baomu inwardly.

   "You...you are a catfish." Baomu calmed down and asked.

  A trace of surprise crossed the man’s eyes, "How are you..."

  Baomu has basically figured out the current situation.

  Except for this man, there is no other catfish scent around. It seems that a few of them were caught by strange creatures in the woods when they were looking for themselves and Ah Zhen. The remaining three people decisively abandoned him and fled alone.

   "You killed that person last night, didn't you?" Baomu raised his voice and asked in a tone that he thought was very deterrent, "You still want to kill us!"

  The tears in the man’s eyes poured out, but the two of them could see that it was not out of regret, but pain.

"We can't do it...this is our task..." The man clenched his fists and tried to climb outwards, but his lower body was still fixed in the tree hole motionless, "Now...there are very few players left... The game is almost over... please help me..."

  The game is almost over.

  A Zhen sneered, "It's over? Do you think we don't know how the game will end? You and us, but people from two camps..."

"I know, I know," the man's fingertips sank deep into the ground, "the catfish or the general game are all destroyed...the game is over...now...the catfish inside the game is only a few of us...so I beg you ...Please kill me..."

  He didn't want their rescue, he wanted to die.

  A Zhen and Baomu looked at each other.

  The man's face was covered with tears and sweat, and he seemed so sincere.

   "You kill me... don't let me... don't let me become like that..."

  The man looks to the right of the two.

In the darkness on the right of   , a vague figure emerged.

"what is that?"

"After being completely swallowed by the night tree...you will become that kind of tree man..." the man sobbed, "The tree man has no thoughts of his own...and will be judged to be dead...but he is not dead... and every moment, I can feel the corrosion of the sap...too painful..."

  While speaking, the man’s waist was also swallowed by the tree hole.

  Baomu straightened his back, and he could clearly see what the tree man looked like.

  It’s not a human being, nor is it like a tree. It’s more like a normal human being with a canopy growing on it. The tree man is swaying in the wind, and the roots of the tree growing under his feet move here with his body.

  The tree man has no clothes on his body, and his skin reveals a bright green color, just like an insect enclosed in amber.

   Actually, I can still feel the pain.

   Baomu swallowed, and said firmly, "You answer one more question for me. If you answer honestly, I will definitely help you."

  The man nodded frantically, Baomu felt that his fragile joints simply couldn't bear such violent movements.

  "Who among you killed the player last night?"

  A tingling pain suddenly swept over Baomu's forehead, Baomu took a breath of air, and hurriedly held his forehead to freeze his figure.

  The man was stunned, his mouth opened and closed, and he muttered, "I killed that man..."

   "You lie!" Baomu pressed his temple hard with one hand and pointed at the man with one hand, "I saw it! The fourth catfish was dried!"

  The tingling pain became more severe, and Baomu couldn't hold back it and snorted in pain.

   "You saw..." The man's pale face was covered with a dead gray, "You really..."

  "Tell me, who is that person?" Baomu was held up by Ah Zhen so that he could barely keep upright, facing the man, he gritted his teeth and said.

  The man’s tears seemed to run dry, and a look of despair came to his face. The man shook his head, "I can't tell you."

  The world in front of Baomu has been blurred by pain.

  "Then you can only become a treeman!" Ah Zhen shouted threateningly.

   "If I told you..." The man sneered, "You and I, we all have to die...not just in the game, but..."

  When the word "death" got into Baomu's ear, it slammed into Baomu with a sudden pain, Baomu shouted out loudly, and fell directly to the ground.

  "Baomu!..." Ah Zhen hurriedly straightened Baomu's twitching body.

  At the same time, the man's body quickly slid into the tree hole. The man let out his last heartbreaking cry, shaking his head, and disappeared into the depth of the tree hole.
