Light Keeper

Chapter 1037 Cave Exploration 6
Since no one else was found, Song Shuyun couldn't wait any longer.

The injury on Ding Chen's head has completely healed, and at least it won't hold him back on the ground.

The two of them walked all the way towards the center of the platform, and saw a forest not far away.

There is a circle of dead trees on the periphery of the forest, which seem to grow on the stone-like ground above the platform. The dead trees are not too high, only a few meters high, and some are even a little taller than Song Shuyun.

As the two went deeper, the material of the platform gradually changed, from stone to land bit by bit.

The dead trees inside are getting taller and taller, with strange shapes. Under the sunlight of the day, distorted shadows fall on the ground one by one, as if something is about to break through the ground.

The surroundings were quiet, with no chirping of insects, no chirping of birds, and no sound of small animals occasionally passing by. Although the ground was uneven, there was not a single fallen leaf. It was as clean as if these dead trees were all fake.

As the two of them got closer, Ding Chen's expression became more and more dignified.

"Wang Su..."

His voice broke the frozen atmosphere at the moment, and when Song Shuyun turned her head to look, she was startled by seeing him herself.

"what do you want to say?"

Song Shuyun turned around and looked at him for a while, but didn't see him speaking before she asked.

"It's okay, I just feel a little weird."

Song Shuyun looked at him, waiting for the next sentence, because she didn't know what was strange.

"I've seen this place before in videos, but it doesn't seem like it's the same now!"

Ding Chen seemed unsure of something and tried to recall the video footage.

Song Shuyun raised her eyebrows. Wang Su had never seen the video. She only knew that there was such a thing and had heard about its contents. She always thought that Ding Chen was like her, so she didn't ask.

"What's different? I haven't watched the video, so I don't know what's wrong!"

Ding Chen's complexion was not very good, the memories on that video were not too good.

"In the video, it seems that there are people all around here. They are very, very thin. It is dark tomorrow, but for some reason, those people can see very clearly, and this is not a dead forest. The trees here are tall and tall, and there are fallen leaves all over the ground. ... I remember that there was a tree that seemed to have been chopped down by someone, and it was at this location."

As he spoke, Ding Chen walked to a dead tree and pointed to Song Shuyun at a location about the same height away from him.

There happened to be a wound there, and it did look like a knife wound.

"Liuguang, Liuguang, what's going on?"

When Song Shuyun asked Liu Guang in his heart, Ding Chen continued.

"But the knife-like wound I saw should be at a higher place, it doesn't seem to be here."

As he spoke, he took another two steps back, trying to find the position of the first perspective in the video.

At this moment, Song Shuyun suddenly saw that Ding Chen's shadow on the ground began to change.

The twisted shadows of the surrounding dead trees stretched out layer upon layer towards the shadow behind Ding Chen, and at this moment, Ding Chen's shadow seemed to be wrapped around his neck by the branches...

Ding Chen's shadow was stretched longer and longer, and his struggle became more intense, but Ding Chen's expression remained the same as he was looking for the position, and he didn't know anything about it.

It was the first time Song Shuyun saw such a situation, she didn't know how to deal with it, she was about to go forward and grab Ding Chen to take him away, when she heard Liu Guang's voice.

"Cut down the tree first, or the shadow will be eaten!"

Song Shuyun knew that the time was urgent, so she didn't ask any further questions. With a wave of her hand, the sword spirit was already in her palm, and she slashed at a tree next to her with a backhanded sword. That tree was also one of the trees that entangled Ding Chen.

Song Shuyun slashed on it with a sword, and there was no scene of the tree being cut to pieces as imagined, but only a shallow mark was left on the dead tree.

The dead tree twisted a few times, and the shadow slowly retracted to the position where it should stay, but occasionally there were still one or two shadows of branches jumping around, as if they were testing.

Ding Chen heard the sound, turned his head to look at Song Shuyun, but didn't see anything in her hand, but there was always the sound of trees being cut.

The weird feeling in his heart was even worse, and he didn't know what to do at all.

Song Shuyun never thought that the dead wood here would be so hard. Even if the sword spirit is not in full bloom, theoretically it should be a sword for a child, but up to now, it has only left a shallow trace on the dead tree.

This reminded Song Shuyun of the deep wound that Ding Chen pointed out. Who could be the person who could leave such a mark?
They should be on their own side!
After cutting down all the trees, Ding Chen's shadow slowly returned to the previous appearance, but it seemed to have faded a lot. When comparing with Song Shuyun, there was an obvious feeling.

"What happened just now?"

Song Shuyun strode forward, Ding Chen followed behind her, and behind her was the sword spirit watching the shadows of the two people not being attacked.

"It's a weird existence. I don't know what's going on. I want you to find out the situation. I can only infer their possible abilities based on their performance, such as devouring everything, shadows, flesh, The soul, the source of the soul, etc."

"But Ding Chen said that the forest he saw in the video before was not like this. The trees there were tall and not dead. Why is it like this now?"

"Maybe you absorbed those souls and origins from here!"

Liu Guang opened up new ideas for Song Shuyun.

"Then according to what you said, it will take time for these dead trees to devour souls, otherwise how could they let so many souls go!"

Liu Guang hesitated for a moment to organize his words.

"It's like this. Even if Ding Chen is a side dish, it shouldn't take long to devour it. However, already here, Ding Chen is actually not that important. I can feel that the main line of this plane is here, that is, There are no clues."

These dead trees seem to have spiritual wisdom. Knowing that Song Shuyun is not easy to mess with, they attack Ding Chen every time. The sword spirit has already spotted it several times.

But no matter how fast it found it, it was useless, each dead tree only absorbed a little, and Ding Chen's shadow faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the sky gradually darkened, Ding Chen's shadow was almost gone.

Song Shuyun didn't have any good ideas. She wanted to ask him. If that didn't work, she would kill him and take his soul away.

But she also wanted to see what else was there besides these dead trees. If Ding Chen died, she would be the one who would bear the brunt of the attack.

She is not afraid, but the task is not more than courageous. Of course, she must buy herself more time and find more clues.

The night was shrouded, and the sky was full of stars, and the place was still quiet as if there was nothing.

Ding Chen was very tired, but Song Shuyun didn't dare to let him rest. Once Ding Chen sat down, he probably wouldn't be able to stand up again.

The two had no other choice but to move forward towards the center, wanting to see what was at the core.

However, with the passage of time, Song Shuyun felt uneasy, and she felt that there was something different around her.
