I held down my two swords and glanced up and down the trees.

The trembling branches and leaves on the tree crown do make people feel a bit strange.

But apart from the tree crown, I couldn't find any other doubts.

Xiao Hong suddenly said: "I remember that when I was hanged, my feet were very heavy, as if something was pulling my feet down."

Suddenly an idea flashed in my mind: I heard that the executioner sometimes tied a bag of sand to the feet of the condemned prisoners to increase the weight. In this way, the condemned prisoners would die faster.

Is this the reason why Xiao Hong was quickly hanged?

Midnight on my left hand suddenly took off my hand, whirling around and slashing towards the branch of the tree.

Before Ziye could touch the tree trunk, Bai Tian slashed at the handle of Ziye's knife at a faster speed. When the two knives collided in the air, Ziye slashed at the back of the tree trunk at an incredible angle.

Suddenly there was a scream, and Lu Peng, who was still furious before, suddenly froze where he was.

Ye Yang and I also got up and chased behind the tree trunk at the same time. When we arrived, it was already a step too late. The person hiding behind the tree had disappeared, and only a severed arm was left on the ground.

At this time, Nie Xiaochun and Qin Xin had also worked together to rescue Yilu. Qin Xin said anxiously: "What did you see just now?"

Aolu panted for a long time and said, "I...I saw a tablet on the tree that said 'The soul gate is opened'."

Aolu pointed to the tree: "The tablet is right there!"

Ye Yang and I jumped onto the tree one after another. After pushing aside the leaves, we saw the tablet hidden there.

Ye Yang gently tapped it twice: "This is the witchcraft mechanism."

I have also heard of the "witchcraft mechanism technique", which is a very evil mechanism secret technique. To put it simply: the driving force for activating the mechanism is ghosts.

Mechanisms are actually very similar to today's machines, except that in ancient times, there was no such thing as an engine. The power to activate the mechanism was a magic circle or runes.

The core secret of ancient mechanism magic was lost for some reason, and later mechanism wizards could only find other ways to solve the problem of mechanism power.

Later, the large-scale mechanism cities on the art path were either close to the water or in places with strong winds. Otherwise, they would not be able to support the operation of the mechanisms.

The power used by small mechanisms is ghosts!

Among them, the witchcraft mechanism technique is the most overbearing. Instead of using ghosts to control the mechanism, they directly use ghosts as "fuel", and the ghosts will eventually be wiped out in the mechanism.

Aolu stood under the tree and said: "A ghost must enter that tablet and activate the mechanism so that we can enter the tomb."

"There is no story here about an infatuated woman marrying a sorcerer, and people wearing red clothes and hanging from trees just to turn people into ghosts. Then, the token will suck the ghosts in and turn on the mechanism."

"Anyone hanging from a tree will definitely die, and no one will have a chance to survive."

Aolu said: "There are seven of us now, and we can only restart the tomb by sacrificing one of them."

Everyone looked at Xiao Hong, who exclaimed in shock: "What are you looking at me for? I...I..."

Xiao Hong couldn't speak any more.

If Ao Lu is telling the truth, then Xiao Hong should have been wiped out long ago. At least, she cannot appear in front of us.

Lu Peng stepped in front of Xiao Hong and said, "She is Xiao Hong! Don't get me wrong."

"I remember, there was another person in our team who died at that time. It was the fourth child... that was the fourth child..."

"He...at that time...in order to save Xiao Hong, he fell to death. His soul must have entered the tablet and opened the tomb."

I stared at Lu Peng and said, "Then let me ask you, do you still remember the map and what is the next marked place?"

"Remember, the next place is the Broken Dragon Gate under the tomb..." Before Lu Peng could finish his words, I suddenly took out a "Soul Beating Whip" and hit Yilu unexpectedly.

The other party was unprepared, and his soul was pulled out of his body by my soul-chasing rope.

Before Aolu could react, she was rolled up by the soul-chasing rope and thrown towards the memorial tablet on the tree.

Ao Lu's scream subsided, and a vortex appeared out of thin air on the tablet, sucking Ao Lu into it.

Lu Peng's eyes turned red: "What are you doing?"

"Get out!" I grabbed Lu Peng's wrist with my claw, lifted him over my shoulder and threw him against the tree.

When Lu Peng got up, there was suddenly a violent vibration at the bottom of the lake. Immediately afterwards, a huge vortex appeared in the center of the lake. The water all over the lake made a strange sound like a cow roaring, and sank into the ground along the center of the vortex.

Soon, the scene at the bottom of the lake was exposed before our eyes.

It turns out that there are circular pits intertwined under the lake. Except for our location and a few paths for people to walk, the other places are filled with the corpses of women in red.

I roughly estimated the number of female corpses, and it turned out to be four to five hundred.

When I looked at the female corpses in red, they all raised their heads and looked at my face.
