I suddenly looked back and saw a black shadow flashing away, swaying into the dark corner.

"Who!? Don't pretend to be a ghost!" I held a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other, looking vigilantly at the place where the shadow flashed past, and asked vigilantly.

In the dark cave, the temperature seemed to be getting lower. I didn't dare to shout and walked forward carefully. Just when I thought I would be attacked or lost, a familiar voice came into my ears: "Is it Xia Ming?"

Gu Chaoge's voice!

I was stunned. Could it be that the black shadow just now was Gu Chaoge? Thinking of this, I quickly responded: "It's me, Captain Gu, are you okay?"

Strangely, after I asked this, Gu Chaoge did not come out immediately, but was silent for a while, and then asked me: "Why are you here?"

"It's a long story, what's wrong with you?" Gu Chaoge's reaction was a little abnormal! I stopped and stood there and thought uneasyly.

Gu Chaoge did not answer my question, but he slowly walked out of the darkness. When the light shone on him, I couldn't believe my eyes.

"You..." Looking at Gu Chaoge who was covered in blood, as if he had just crawled out of the battlefield, I widened my eyes in shock. I never thought that this man would be so seriously injured!

Originally, the white and clean face was always a calm and peaceful face. Now it is not only covered with blood, but also a dazzling scar under the right eye!

If it weren't for the bright black eyes that still had a firm look, I almost thought that this person would have fallen down at any time.

"How did it become like this? Feng Jitian? Where is Bailou? What about that demon?" I walked quickly towards Gu Chaoge and asked the doubts in my heart, "Also, why did you leave us? You didn't even say hello."

After asking this question, I had already walked to Gu Chaoge's side. When I walked closer, I found that his injury seemed to be far more serious than what I saw. It could be described as shocking words. I really don't know what this person encountered. Such a powerful master was so injured!

"Forget it, I'll treat you the wound first." When I drove Gu Chaoge's arm and asked him to lean on me as much as possible, he heard him say lightly: "That wall can eat people."

The wall can eat people? I didn't react for a while after listening to his words, but the next second, I guessed that the wall he was talking about might be the place similar to the 'Evil Path' where we were trapped, so I asked, "Where is the Blood Blade and the others, I was with you?" So I disappeared together?

Gu Chaoge said "happy", and then, perhaps because he was afraid that I would misunderstand something, explained: "When Bailou came, a strange phenomenon happened. Didn't you hear the movement?"

I shook my head and said, "Maybe it's far away..." Although this reason is a bit far-fetched, I couldn't imagine that it would be some other reason. Anyway, I didn't hear any abnormal movement at the beginning.

"Your bag is gone, how long has it been since you ate it?" I asked.

"When you separate." Gu Chaoge replied.

Me: "..." Damn, I haven't eaten for so long and I've been injured so seriously. As expected, experts are experts! Can ordinary people last for so long?

"I'm still a little bit over there." I said speechlessly, and asked, "Where are the others?"

"It's dispersed." Gu Chaoge still replied faintly.

Me: "..." It was dispersed? Is it a rush? Is it a rush?

I couldn't figure it out, so I asked, "Water?"

"quicksand."

Quicksand...? Well, it seems that their experiences during the separation were quite "rich and colorful"! I really don't know how big the quicksand that could disperse Gu Chaoge and Feng Jitian was!

"Xia Ming."

Just when both of us were walking silently and the atmosphere was a little awkward, Gu Chaoge suddenly called my name.

I said "Yeah?" and signaled him to continue, I'm listening.

I heard Gu Chaoge look at my eyes with a serious expression and ask and answer: "How did you get here?"

I was silent for two seconds, and then said calmly: "After you disappeared, I met the corpse again."

"He asked me to go forward, and then we fell into a sewer, because after climbing for a while, the three of us, Bone Dragon and Needle Magic, were washed into a lake by the flood..." At this point, I stopped. I didn't think anything was there at the time, but now I think about it, everything seems like a dream. If I hadn't experienced it myself, maybe when others talked to me about this, I would have thought that the person was talking nonsense.

"What then?" Gu Chaoge was obviously interested in knowing, so he asked me.

As a last resort, I had to pick up important points and tell me what had fallen into the lake. Of course, I didn't say what the fish stared at me in the water at the last moment, because I wasn't sure whether it was real or the illusion that turned out to be too afraid of nervousness at that time.

Then, the bone-transforming dragon secretly pried off the bronze box from the giant tree. I didn't tell Gu Chaoge, yes, after all...

After listening to my explanation, Gu Chaoge didn't even speak for a long time. I glanced at him slightly and saw that he was deeply locked in his brows, as if he was thinking about something very seriously. I didn't disturb his thoughts, but just drove him slowly towards the bone-transforming dragon.

"That's the tree of life and death." Just when I thought Gu Chaoge was about to fall asleep, he suddenly said these five words.

Tree of life and death?

"What kind of tree is that?" What a strange name! I asked in confusion.

"It can also be understood as the tree of life, and it is the holy place for the rebirth and death of that clan." Gu Chaoge said lightly.

Me: "..." Tree of Life? A holy place for new life and death?

So……!?

"What is inside the bronze box?" I vaguely had a bad premonition.

Gu Chaoge stopped, looked at my eyes deeply, and said, "The Dead!"

I was slightly stunned and asked, "What does it mean?" It is definitely not the kind of meaning I thought, right?

Gu Chaoge sighed softly and said, "If you move, you will put it back devoutly, otherwise..."

"Otherwise?" I swallowed, and guessed the true degree of Gu Chaoge's words in my heart. I thought it would be Jin Tong inside, but I didn't expect it would be "the dead".

"There is no peace if you are plagued by the nightmares." Gu Chaoge said.

"How could you know so clearly?" I asked.

Gu Chaoge smiled bitterly, and just when I thought he wouldn't tell me, he heard him say lightly: "I can't remember..."

Is it really a memory loss? I glanced at him suspiciously, said "Oh", and fell into deep thought...
