Chapter 124 Underground Tree

After Eggplant reminded them, everyone's attention once again shifted to the Xiongnu leader sitting at the entrance of the passage.

I saw that not only was his head turned 180°, but his two arms were also twisted back, facing the four people.

Although the head and arms were twisted, the body remained still, as if each limb of the body had its own thoughts.

Looking at this weird figure, even Ji Han couldn't help but complain:

"This Hun leader is also a yoga enthusiast. His movements are too exaggerated."

Chen Ke frowned and said:

"Brother Ji, stop joking, how should you deal with it?"

Eggplant raised his gun and said:

"What's the matter? Watch me shoot you in the head and give you a gift."

Ji Han hurriedly stopped him and said:

"Don't use a gun. I don't know if there will be any danger after breaking these glowing mycelium. Let's still fight in close combat. This thing has no weapons anyway. Just take off his head like before."

Everyone followed Ji Han's instructions and took out their melee daggers, and Ji Han himself also took out his claw knife.

Four people are within this passage, and weapons that are too long are difficult to use.

At this moment, the Xiongnu leader slowly put his arms on the ground to support his body, and then twisted his legs and stood upright.

The whole person's limbs were backwards, and even the head was standing on the back. It looked like a giant insect twisted into a human body lying on the ground.

It's simply a deformity.

The four people felt their scalps numb after looking at it, and they all held their short blades tightly.

The Hun leader, who was lying on the ground in a strange posture, bowed his body, and then used his legs to jump to the wall next to the four of them.

Fortunately, the four of them were prepared, and they distanced themselves on the spot to surround the Hun leader.

At this time, when I looked closer, I found that the Hun leader's fingers were twisted in strange places.

Fortunately, it had no weapons in its hands, and the rusty scimitar on its waist had been thrown aside by Ji Han.

The Xiongnu leader stretched out his hand and slapped Eggplant next to him. Eggplant blocked it with his gloved arm, then pulled the Xiongnu leader over and stabbed him in the neck.

Although the dagger was not long, it still made a large gash on the leader's neck.

If there are no bones, the eggplant can be cut in half with this knife.

Similar to a living corpse underwater, there was no blood flowing out from the scratched wound, but a large amount of transparent gelatinous mucus.

Eggplant wanted to distance himself again, but the Hun leader rushed towards him.

Song Qian raised her leg and kicked the body of the Xiongnu leader to the wall.

Ji Han saw the right opportunity and stepped forward to strike at Eggplant's uncut neck again, but when he slashed with the knife, the Xiongnu leader waved his hand to block the blade.

Although it was blocked, the four fingers on the palm were all cut off.

Seeing this opportunity, Eggplant went up and stabbed the remaining connected neck again, this time finally cutting off the thing's head.

Seeing the head of this deformed creature beheaded, Chen Ke, who had not done anything yet, breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, everyone discovered that the body of the Xiongnu leader had not stopped moving.

From the broken fingers, and the broken neck.

A large amount of shining white mycelium was drilled out and connected to the severed fingers and head.

The broken place is like a lotus root being cut open, with many silk threads hanging in the middle.

The place where the lotus roots were disconnected slowly shrank, and finally the severed fingers and head were reconnected.

Seeing this, the four people retreated towards the tunnel entrance.

Ji Han frowned and said:

"Be careful. This guy is different from the one in the water. The severed body can be restored."

Chen Ke remembered the words on the wall just now and asked:

"Is this the body of the god mentioned in the tribal wall text? It seems that the human body and fungi are symbiotic."

Ji Han nodded and said:

"This should be its normal state. What we encountered in water may have lost this ability because it has been soaked in water for many years and the activity of the fungi has disappeared."

Just as he was talking, the body of the Xiongnu leader changed again.

It was as if he had melted, and he walked crookedly, and the sizes of various parts of his body were out of proportion.

The four of them didn't know whether to fight or retreat when the Xiongnu leader rushed over and punched Ji Han in front.

Just as Ji Han was about to raise his hand to block, he saw the right fist raised by this guy suddenly become as big as his head.

As the whole body swayed, a heavy punch came!

Ji Han was surprised and was knocked several meters away before he could defend himself. He flew directly out of the innermost tunnel and fell into the circular tomb.

Upon seeing this, the other three people hurriedly retreated to check on Ji Han's condition.

Ji Hanxin said that the body of this thing is like water, and the size of each part can be changed at will.

He was knocked out of the corridor and landed in the circular tomb, with those thigh-thick luminous hyphae behind him.

Just as Ji Han was about to stand up and fight again, the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed.

It turned out to be the irregular deep hole with mycelium drilled in the middle of the circular tomb. It may have collapsed due to the passage of time and the trampling of the cold season.

In desperation, Ji Han hurriedly leaned forward. Fortunately, the whole body did not collapse. Only the lower body of Ji Han fell into the mycelium hole "leading to the divine realm", while the upper body lay outside.

Upon seeing this, the three people hurried over to rescue him, and Song Qian rushed over and grabbed Ji Han.

Eggplant did not dare to go directly for fear of trampling on the ground, but stepped forward and reached out to help Song Qian pull Ji Han up.

Chen Ke, on the other hand, lay directly on the ground and grabbed Ji Han's clothes.

But the Xiongnu leader also ran out of the tunnel and attacked the four people again.

Eggplant gritted his teeth and cursed:

"This grandson has no moral ethics, taking advantage of others' misfortune."

But the Xiongnu leader didn't care about that and punched Eggplant again.

Eggplant had no choice but to pull back his hands to defend himself, and his body slid back a few meters, which shows how strong the force was.

With the help of Chen Ke and Song Qian, Ji Han climbed out.

The Xiongnu leader charged again, but this time before the two sides fought, the Xiongnu leader, who was not careful under his feet, directly collapsed the nearby ground again.

Except for Eggplant, who was just knocked away by a punch, and Chen Ke, who pulled Ji Han up and stood against the corner.

The remaining three people, Ji Han, Song Qian and the Xiongnu leader, fell into the pit.

Eggplant was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and threw the flying claw at the two before the collapse.

Ji Han and Song Qian grabbed the flying claw and chain together and hit the wall to avoid falling.

Fearing that one of them would not be able to hold on, Chen Ke, who was standing by the wall, also threw out his flying claws for Ji Han to grab, and moved towards the eggplant.

The Xiongnu leader was not so lucky, and twisted his body and fell towards the black stone crack below.

Ji Han held Song Qian to stabilize his body. Although the two of them hit the wall, they still pressed against the wall steadily with the help of Song Qian's complete shock absorption system. The two of them began to observe the situation below.

It turned out that under this cave was the absolutely black rock outside. There was a crack several meters wide on the rock, and the other side of the crack might be connected to the big crack in the canyon outside.

Several thick hyphae with bright white light protruded from the crack.

Ji Han felt that they could no longer be described as hyphae, because the thick and glowing hyphae extended downward in the crack, and there was no end in sight.

It was just like the sacred tree that reached the sky in myths and legends.
