C295 True Lord
"Roots, have you found the stone door?"
Lee Liang ran over with An in his arms.
Roots were a little disappointed. Just as they were about to say something, their eyes suddenly changed. For a moment, it was as if he was no longer the leader.
He stretched out his hand and pointed upwards. A stone door appeared and slowly opened.
"Good job!"
Lee Liang did not hesitate. He jumped up and rushed in with An in his arms.
At this time, the tree root seemed to have regained its rationality and looked at the stone door in a daze.
"When did I..."
However, the situation did not allow him to hesitate anymore. The White Bone Berserk Ape had already broken through An's energy barrier and was rushing over here.
It only needed a few breaths' time to catch the root.
The root also separated and jumped, directly jumping into the stone door.
The stone door slowly closed.
After closing the last crack, a huge hammering sound came from behind the stone door!
"That was close!"
Lee Liang placed it on the ground and took a deep breath. Only then did he dare to relax a little.
The three of them collapsed onto the ground.
An did not expect that the barrier she had used up all her energy to create would only last for a short while. However, her original purpose was not to stop the other party, but to take the opportunity to get closer to Lee Liang!
"Where will this place be in the future?"
Lee Liang slowed down for a while, then looked around.
This was a cage like space. In front of them were many wooden stakes.
However, if one looked closely, they would find that these wooden stakes were actually in human form. They were simply human-shaped mummies.
Moreover, these wooden stakes looked almost exactly the same. The row at the front was filled with dead wood. At the back, there were slightly smaller wooden stakes. The last row was the shape of a human, not a mummy. It was a zombie that looked like a tree root, but its lower limbs were fixed in the soil.
There were dozens of them. Each of them had their head down, snoring, and sleeping soundly.
"What are these things?"
Lee Liang felt his scalp tingle. The mummies in the front row were fine, but the sleeping ones in the back were bloated, and their bodies were covered with corpse spots. They were clearly zombies, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.
"I've never seen anything like this. Look behind you. Is there an empty spot?"
An said weakly. As she spoke, she reached out her hand to pull the tree root beside her.
However, her hand missed, and she did not manage to pull anything.
"Tree root, what are you doing?"
An was a little surprised, because she saw the root of the tree sway and walk towards the empty spot.
"Not good, there's something wrong with this guy!"
Lee Liang did not notice the movement of the tree root just now. By the time he reacted, it was already too late.
The tree root swayed and stood on the empty spot.
When he really stood on that spot, a strange scene happened.
One. A sleeping zombie suddenly woke up. It opened its blood-red eyes, opened its mouth, and let out a strange cry.
"Crack! Crack!"
Then, a second, a third... All the sleeping zombies woke up and shouted the same thing, including the roots.
The strange sound echoed through the entire space and even resonated.
The mummy tree stump started to crack, revealing the zombies inside and making strange sounds.
"It's so unpleasant to hear!"
An covered her ears and cried out in pain.
Lee Liang tried his best not to speak, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"There is a powerful force forming. I feel like I have been greatly affected!"
An's face turned pale, and he found it difficult to even breathe.
Not to mention An, even Lee Liang felt that he had been affected. Something seemed to be inside his body. It was as if it was trying its best to rush out of his body and rush towards those roaring zombies.
"Crack! Ka!"
A while later, the zombie who was leading the group of zombies made another two noises.
Then, the other zombies who were close to him started shaking. They put their hands on their lower limbs and pulled hard. They pulled their legs out of the soil and walked toward him.
What Lee Liang didn't expect happened.
A few lost things actually merged together!
And this kind of thing was still going on.
In the end, even the root of the tree started moving, walking toward the zombie who had merged with a lot of zombies.
"Root of the tree, don't go there!"
An couldn't bear to cry out. She knew how the root of the tree ended. It was fused, and then completely lost its consciousness.
"We can't stop it!
Lee Liang walked to An's side and patted her on the back to calm her emotions.
The meeting had been planned from the beginning. The root of the tree was a chess piece that had been arranged in advance. The strange long scenes that they had encountered before should have been intentional.
The person who had planned all of this behind the scenes was about to give up.
"Goodbye!"
The tree root struggled for a moment, but it was still useless. It was directly absorbed!
In the end, all the zombies in this place merged into one and became a tall and big young man with tree bark all over his body.1
His image was difficult to describe. He looked like a tree, but he could clearly feel that he was a human being.
"How long did I sleep for? My body is recovering well this time!"
The man's eyelids trembled slightly, as if he was about to open them.
However, it also seemed like something was preventing him from completely waking up.
"I didn't expect my injuries to be so serious this time. I need so much time to recover."
The man struggled for a while before finally opening his eyes slightly.
"Huh?"
He saw Lee Liang with one look and made a strange sound, as if he knew Lee Liang.
"Aren't you the kid who was with Hei Tian?"
Withered Leaf actually recognized Lee Liang, who was in his zombie form!
When he said this, Lee Liang's heart also shook. It really was that Withered Leaf...
But why did he look like an extremely old man at that time, but now he looked like this?
Or was it to say, which one of these two figures was the real one?
"Wait for me to read my memory."
Withered Leaf smiled. Not only were his eyes red, even his mouth was red. There was not a single tooth in his mouth. It was as if his mouth was a small world.
"Oh, so that's how it is. You are here to kill me. Unfortunately, you are late. I have completely recovered!"
Obviously, he had read the memories of the time when Tree Root and Lee Liang were together.
"What the hell are you? You don't look like a zombie anymore!"
An struggled to ask. She had seen dead leaves before, but they were not in this form. Moreover, the things she had seen before had overturned her worldview.
"You don't understand. It's just that you're ignorant. Zombies are the endpoint of all life evolution!"
