Gu Xi's mental power poured out, but there was nothing under the cliff, and she didn't feel anything.

This is not right.

She turned her head to look at Ye Junhan beside her.

After looking at each other, the two walked slowly towards the edge of the cliff.

The area in front has just been cleared by Qian Shan and others not long ago, and the sand hills are exposed, leaving only sporadic green dots in it.

Gu Xi leaned over to look down the cliff, the cliff was steep, the rocks were jagged, and there were many unknown exotic plants growing out of the cracks, trembling in the wind, and below was a bottomless abyss, lurking in the thick In the dark night, there are hidden clouds and mist.

As for the crooked-neck tree in her memory under the abyss... only a little canopy could be vaguely seen in the clouds and mist.

It was still there, but why did it disappear from her perception?
Very strange.

Gu Xi frowned slightly, and leaned forward again. Her body was already thin, and the night wind was strong on the top of the mountain, so she looked a little dangerous.Ye Junhan fell half a step behind her, even knowing that she was powerful, he subconsciously raised his hand slightly, wanting to pull her back immediately.

The night wind brought a chill, Ye Junhan's eyes fell on the girl in front of him, his fingertips curled up slightly, and he finally put down his hands.

He stepped forward and chose to stand side by side with her on the edge of the cliff.

Gu Xi turned her head to look, the man was standing in the night, Yue Zhiyuan was cautious, his sharpness was restrained, so that she had an inexplicable sense of trance that she could rely on.

But soon Gu Xi got out of the trance. Li Ming taught her since she was a child that it is better to rely on others than on herself.Especially in the last days, it is not easy for anyone. If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself.

Ye Junhan turned his head to look at Gu Xi who was beside him: "Did you find anything?"

Have.

The crown of the Crooked Neck Tree is still faintly visible, showing that it is still under the abyss.

But Gu Xi... still can't feel the aura of old friends.

After a moment of silence, she looked up at Ye Junhan: "I want to go down and have a look." Not only for the old friend, but also to get back her own knife.

Ye Junhan tilted his head and asked her, "Is it down there?"

Gu Xi's heart sank heavily, subconsciously thinking that he was referring to her knife, but soon realized that he should be talking about that thing.

"Can you feel its existence?" Gu Xi asked in surprise.

Ye Junhan withdrew his gaze and looked at the abyss under his feet: "It has been following the convoy all along, hasn't it?"

Gu Xi didn't deny it, "Yes." After a pause, he added: "Its situation is a bit special, so I can only let it follow me for the time being."

Ye Junhan frowned slightly, and asked her again: "What the hell is it?" Parasite?energy?Or some kind of unknown intelligent microorganism?
Gu Xi looked directly into the man's deep eyes, and said slowly, "I'm not sure either."

Ye Junhan looked at her without saying a word.

The night wind blew across the top of the mountain, blowing away the mist under the abyss, revealing the huge crown of the Crooked Neck Tree.

Gu Xi frowned slowly, "I'll go down and have a look."

As she said that, she lightened her feet and was about to jump off the cliff to find out.

Ye Junhan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

The night is very cold, but the man's hand is very warm.

Gu Xi froze for a moment, then looked down at the hand clasping her wrist.

Ye Junhan pulled her back a step calmly: "It's too late, I can't see anything clearly below, let's go down after dawn."

Following the man's arm, Gu Xi's eyes slowly moved up, met the man's dark eyes, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

What did he find?
Ye Junhan's eyes were deep and clear, and he only held her wrist with a little force.

Gu Xi noticed that Ya Bao was eager to try, and wanted to withdraw her hand calmly, but Ye Junhan's face remained unchanged, but he held her hand even harder.

Gu Xi: "...You're right, it's too late, let's go back first."

Ye Junhan clasped her hand, and the two stood very close. He almost took her out of the cliff and back to the off-road vehicle in the attitude of a protector.

This made Gu Xi a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, when he returned to the off-road vehicle, Ye Junhan let go of his hand. He opened the co-pilot's door and signaled her to go in first.

After Gu Xi sat in the passenger's seat, Ye Junhan closed the passenger's door, and then strode around the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat.

He closed all the car windows and pressed the intercom: "Yang Liu, send all the surveillance videos during this period."

Gu Xi tilted her head and asked him: "Just now... what did you find?"

"I don't know." At the moment when Gu Xi was about to jump off the cliff, Ye Junhan suddenly had the feeling of being targeted by a beast.

That feeling made his heart skip a beat, and he pulled Gu Xi back without thinking.

Ye Junhan raised his hand to open his personal terminal, and Yang Liu had already sent all the surveillance videos during this period.

Gu Xi tilted his head to look at his light curtain. In the dark night, the moonlight was bright and clear, passing through the lingering clouds and mist, and falling on the huge tree crown, leaving little silver spots.

The picture is beautiful.

But it's weirdly beautiful.

Gu Xi thought about it, and compared the videos of different time periods, and found that every frame was exactly the same, and even the position of every leaf had not changed.

But obviously, tonight's night wind is so strong.

She had just stood on the edge of the cliff, and even heard the rustling sound of the night wind blowing through the branches.

Yang Liu probably also sensed something went wrong, and flew the drone again, but in the picture, except for the drone flying high and low, everything showed a strange static state, so quiet, like a painting.

Still painting.

At this moment, Gu Xi suddenly realized one thing through the drone's bird's-eye view: Maybe the huge crooked-neck tree under the abyss is no longer the old friend she knew back then.

No wonder she couldn't perceive the breath of the crooked neck tree before, or even the breath of any plants.

And this may be the reason why the thing that has been following her is very excited.

At this moment, Gu Xi sensed that the thing was getting more and more excited, and it was urging her to go down even regardless of the wishes of her "kind".

Say you have something good to share with her.

Good thing, do you mean the thing that controls the crooked neck tree under the abyss?
For a moment, Gu Xi even wondered, the thing has been urging her to go down through perception, could it be that it and the thing under the abyss are working together?

A chill suddenly rose in Gu Xi's heart, she tapped her fingertips on the car window, and paused slightly.

At first, when she came back, she just wanted to plant her land well, and An An lived her life comfortably. Later, even if she was forced to take the revenge script, Gu Xi didn't think it was a big problem.

At most it is to kill a few more people.

She is familiar with this job.

But now, unknown new species appear one after another... Perhaps, the world is really about to usher in the third major mutation.

Gu Xi is a person who has experienced the early days of the end of the world, and she knows what this means better than anyone else.

The natural world may usher in another big reshuffle.And human beings will only look small and pitiful in the face of such disasters.

But this time, it was different. .

Gu Xi lowered her eyes and poked Yabao.

The next moment, the buds that were originally wrapped around her fingertips suddenly disappeared...

This time, Gu Xi didn't use his mental strength, but directly released Yabao.

Soon, Gu Xi sensed Ya Bao's grievances and... disgust.

Ya Bao didn't even want to get close to the crooked neck tree!

Gu Xi couldn't help but startled.

Yabao has always been domineering, even if it was able to parasitize and control creatures and swallow supernatural powers before, I have never seen it afraid.

But now he is so... afraid?
So what is under the abyss?
Yabao: It's not fear, it's disgust!
Gu Xi: "..."

On the side, Ye Junhan stared at the light screen calmly, glanced at Gu Xi beside him from the corner of his eye, and paused with his fingertips.

she……

At this moment, Gu Xi's personal terminal rang.

It was a communication request from Qi Xiang.

After Gu Xi connected, he found that the opposite side of the light curtain was crowded with people, besides Qi Xiang and the others, there were also many people from the special service team.

What's going on here?Why is everyone here at night?

Gu Xi frowned slightly, and exchanged glances with Ye Junhan calmly.
