At this time, Chen Duo, Hu Bayi and others had already discovered the auxiliary tomb of King Xian. After all, the two big banyan trees were too obvious and grew extremely thick.

What’s even more peculiar is that the trunks of the two big banyan trees actually began to entangle with each other at a height of more than one person, looking like a twisted dough stick.

The top of this pair of trees is like a huge umbrella, and many unrecognizable subtropical plants are parasitic on the thick trunks.

These parasitic plants also grew extremely lush and were full of colorful and gorgeous flowers, making the two husband and wife trees look like a flower basket.

In the quiet jungle in the second half of the night, several people took turns to keep watch, but they heard a very clear knocking sound.

The source of the sound was the big banyan tree. The knocking sounds sounded extremely strange and were definitely not the sound of a woodpecker.

Instead, it seemed as if there was something inside the trunk of the banyan tree, constantly knocking on the trunk. At this time, Hu Bayi, who was dozing off by the campfire, woke up.

He dazedly saw Chen Duo and Shirley Yang sitting together. He struggled to get up and was about to ask.

Unexpectedly, Chen Duo and Shirley Yang both put their fingers on their lips at the same time, and then Shirley Yang pointed to the big banyan tree behind Lao Hu.

Less than a minute later, Hu Bayi's expression suddenly changed. It was obvious that Hu Bayi also regarded the knocking sound as something evil.

"Lao Hu, Chen Duo, there is someone inside this tree."

After listening for a while, Shirley Yang finally said it affirmatively, while also tightening her grip on the gun.

Hu Bayi was stunned: "Human? How do you know it's a human? Could it be an animal?"

Shirley Yang shook her head: "It's a person. Listen carefully. The knocking sounds are very regular. Three short, three long, three short, beep beep, da~da~da~, beep beep beep..."

"Morse code?"

Shirley Yang nodded, "Yes, it's Morse code. Three short, three long, and three short means SOS, the international distress signal."

Hearing this, Hu Bayi's hair stood on end.

"A distress signal? Doesn't that mean someone is trapped inside the tree trunk?"

Shirley Yang shook her head: "This area is sparsely populated. Even the villagers outside Zhalong Mountain don't come in. I'm afraid the person asking for help in the tree trunk is not a human..."

If it's not a human, then it can only be a ghost.

But so what if it’s ghosts? It’s not like they haven’t seen them before. Aren’t there enough monsters and demons in the eighteen levels of hell?

Chen Duo listened to the two people chatting animatedly and just found it funny. After all, what exactly was that thing above? She could tell with a little sense of Qi that the abnormal life magnetic field was obviously a monster, and there was more than one.

But seeing how excited they were talking, I felt embarrassed to disturb them. It seemed that they had not yet transformed their way of thinking from normal people.

"This might be a ghost signal!"

Hu Bayi then explained that he had heard rumors about ghost signals in the past, saying that sometimes he would receive some strange radio signals.

Some were calls for help, some were warnings, and later it was rumored that these were signals sent by ghosts, specifically to seduce people.

At this time, Chen Duo chuckled and said, "What's wrong with the ghost signal? I am the Plague Department of Heaven, and you are from the underworld. Are you afraid of a little ghost?"

While they were talking, they reached the treetops in just two or three steps.

"There's a plane wreckage in the tree!"

Following Chen Duo's shout, Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, who were originally guarding under the tree, could no longer stay and quickly climbed up.

After reaching the tree, Shirley Yang quickly identified the plane as a transport plane. "Be careful, the wreckage of the plane is a bit evil!" Hu Bayi warned.

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang were not reckless people, and they quickly entered the plane cabin. Inside the cockpit of the wreckage were the pilot's body.

It was obvious that he had turned into a skeleton in the jungle. His helmeted head hung on his chest at a strange angle, which was obviously not something a living person could do.

Old Hu walked in front carefully holding a knife.

At this moment, the knocking sound rang out again, and then the pilot's helmet moved. Chen Duo, who was standing aside and observing with interest, also saw it.

I saw that the pilot's helmet was shaking continuously, as if the pilot who had turned into dry bones had come back to life and was struggling to get up.

Then the pilot's helmet suddenly lifted up, and two golden lights flashed from it.

A tall bird fluttered up from the pilot's body, and his helmet rolled to the ground.

The big bird had a curved beak that was extremely sharp, a pair of claws like iron hooks, and a wingspan of nearly two meters.

And she was extremely brave. When she saw Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang immediately pounced on him with her claws.

"Dui Zi·Hei Liuli!"

Hu Bayi stood in front of him, his hands turned black, grabbed the claw and threw it away.

"This should be an eagle owl, a large bird of prey that lives in the forest. But it's very rare to see one this big," Hu Bayi said in amazement.

"Hey, there's more to come!" Chen Duo reminded.

"what?"

Hu Bayi turned around and saw a monster with horns and fangs rushing out from behind him. It had a face like an ape, a very dark body and wore tattered clothes. It had a few small skulls hanging around its neck as decoration. It had four legs and four hands, and its hands had black claws.

He looked at the few people, roared, and stretched out his claws like a wild beast, aiming for Hu Bayi's heart.

"Old Hu, watch me!"

Fatty Wang rushed out with the Vajra Umbrella in his hand, and knocked the monster flying, dropping from the treetops to under the tree.

At this time, several people hurried down from the tree and saw Fatty Wang confronting the monster. Several black shadows appeared in the sky. The leader was even bigger and more than one meter tall.

A pair of wings spread out to nearly ten feet long, eyes were pure gold, shining brightly in the moonlight, iron claws were like hooks, and blue-gray feathers were like sharp arrows!

It looked majestic and full of murderous aura, and it turned out to be a golden-eyed eagle owl that was even bigger than the one before!
Hu Bayi didn't look up at the sky, but only focused on the monster in front of him. He said solemnly, "It looks like a monkey, roaming in the mountains and forests, and is as fast as the wind. Is this a demon?"

"That's right, it's a Chi, and it's a ghost that escaped from the underworld!" Chen Duo said.

Hu Bayi glanced at Chen Duo, then asked in confusion: "But how could the demons and monsters from the underworld appear here?"

Chen Duo said: "This is not surprising. Ghosts like extremely dark places. Now that humanity is flourishing, they can't do anything unruly. They can only look for ancient tombs in the deep mountains to hide their tracks."

Hu Bayi nodded: "It's just a coincidence. It's a good opportunity to imprison this evil spirit back in the underworld!"

At this moment, the ghost seemed to have discovered the threat from several people. It roared loudly, and then its figure disappeared.
