Yu-Gi-Oh!: Fake Hanno, missing arms and legs at the beginning

"Convenient? What's convenient or inconvenient about this? It's my duty to serve my lord!"

Qimiao's answer was righteous and stern, and there was no sign at all that he was just trying to relieve himself.

"Okay then! If you want to make it easier, just tell me. I'm not in a hurry..."

Han Nuo didn't know whether his guess was correct, but there would always be times when living creatures couldn't help themselves, so as long as they didn't reveal it in front of him, there would be no problem.

I don’t know how far they have traveled, but even Han Nuo, who has no idea of ​​the direction, can clearly notice that the number of trees in the surrounding forest has become sparse.

It was as if someone had chopped it down in a planned manner.

The purpose of cutting down these trees was probably to allow the sunlight above to shine on the earth, illuminating every darkness and making it easier for people standing on the ground to look up.

When you look up, you can see dazzling buildings towering into the clouds. The dazzling light on the buildings comes from the reflection of the sun.

Even so, the building is much brighter than the moon.

The building is made of an unknown material, with no visible patterns on it, only a single pure white color. However, two black shadows can be seen colliding and entwining constantly, creating ripples on the walls of the building.

"what is that?"

"That building has existed since before we came to the Dreamland. We don't know who built it, nor do we know who lives in it. We only know that the Green Tree Spirit King attaches great importance to it and does not allow anyone to disrespect it."

"Disrespectful to architecture? What do you mean?"

"The Green Tree Spirit King will regularly perform sacrifices to that building, and the offerings for the sacrifices are provided by the various tribes living in the forest."

"From what I understand, the two forest leaders you mentioned are from the plant tribe. What tribute do they want?"

"A lot of fruits, vegetables, and flesh. If the quantity is not enough, he will forcefully demand some cubs from our servant races as reserve food."

Having said that, Qimiao even clenched his teeth to prevent his anger from erupting instantly.

"I can understand why they want a lot of flesh and blood. It is said that plants grow more luxuriantly on corpses, but why do they want those vegetarian tributes? For composting?"

"Perhaps it is for exchange. The Green Tree Spirit King, relying on his position as the controller of the Closed Forest, forcibly trapped those who entered the Fantasy Dreamland in the Closed Forest. The races that can produce materials for it were left behind, while the races that cannot contribute means of production were used as nutrients for the forest."

"What about you? What do you offer?"

"My Lord, you should have seen that everything produced by that orchard is used as a tribute."

"What about [Trent]? What do they produce?"

"The tree people that [Trent] belongs to are protected by [Green Tree Spirit King] because they can quickly produce edible fruits. Those fruits taste terrible, but they can be used to feed the servants enslaved by [Green Tree Spirit King]."

"To put it bluntly, it's for fodder production. It's very skilled at exploitation... I remember that the [Green Tree Spirit King] seemed to be a normal monster, and its attack power should not exceed 2000. You have a monster with a basic attack power of 2500. Why are you afraid of it? Can't you just rush in directly?"

"The [Green Tree Spirit King] commands the [Enclosed Forest], so he can naturally use the power hidden in the entire [Enclosed Forest]. The more lives that fall in this forest, the stronger his power will be. Theoretically, as long as he does not leave this forest, he will be invincible."

"How can it be so terrifying?"

"We're almost there." Just as Han Nuo exclaimed, a mysterious voice also sounded.

Han Nuo's three bodyguards looked at each other, then nodded in unison, turned back into cards and returned to Han Nuo's duel disk. Han Nuo and Qimiao were unaware of this.

Passing the last tree beside him, a wide and flat black mud land came into Han Nuo's sight.

Standing in the center is the tall building that is shining brightly.

Only when you look closer can you see that the building is actually an inverted pyramid.

The top of the pyramid is supported by four tall trees tied together with thick ropes.

Under the tree, two figures, one red and one green, could be seen hugging each other.

As soon as he walked in, Qimiao shouted loudly: "【Green Tree Spirit King】, I am here to negotiate terms."

[Spirit King of Green Trees] didn't even bother to look at Qimiao. He just let go of the hand that was hugging his concubine [Queen of Red Leaves] and gently patted the trees behind him.

"Look! Look! Who's here? It seems that you beasts can't wait to come and offer sacrifices. Since you are so sensible, your beasts can contribute fewer people in this sacrifice. Let me see... Well, three will be fine."

Qimiao shouted excitedly: "[Green Tree Spirit King], your good days are over. Our great lord will take your head today and free those compatriots you imprisoned."

"Well, it should be possible without taking the head!"

Han Nuo muttered softly. He knew very well that he couldn't weaken his momentum when he said something harsh, so he didn't dare to speak too loudly.

The Green Tree Spirit King angrily shouted in dissatisfaction: "How dare you! Don't you know who you are? How dare you be so unreasonable."

Qimiao refused to give in. "Unreasonable? Even more rude things are yet to come! My lord wants to perform a sacred ceremony with you to determine the ownership of the [Enclosed Forest]."

It was not until Qimiao mentioned something that the [Spirit King of Green Trees] turned around and saw the first-generation duel disk in Han Nuo's hand. He just snorted disdainfully and assembled the deck on the branch-shaped duel disk with the help of the [Queen of Red Leaves].

"You tricked a warrior who didn't know reverence into coming here to die? A warrior cannot refuse a sacred ceremony, so I will let you see the power that a natural warrior possesses!"

The two sides stood face to face and raised the duel disk at the same time.

Hanuo VS [Spirit King of Green Trees]

"DUEL!" x2

A grid image representing the establishment of the duel appeared in front of the two.

Han Nuo felt that the feeling of dueling with the [Green Tree Spirit King] was different from any previous duel.

In the center of the scene, there was a field magic - [Enclosed Forest], and on the field of [Green Tree Spirit King] there was an uncovered continuous trap.

That trap had no card name, no card image, and no effect, making it completely unclear what the trap actually did.

[Spirit King of Green Trees] spoke first, "I will attack first in my home field. I will activate the Normal Spell Card [Magic Fitting Room]. I will pay 800 Life Points, turn over the top 4 cards of my deck, and Special Summon a Normal Monster of level 3 or less to my field. If you don't want your compatriots to suffer, then you must obey me."

He said the latter sentence to his own deck.

The moment the [Spirit King of Green Trees] finished speaking, his deck began to automatically shuffle for unknown reasons.

"You still bring something like this? Isn't this just like drawing any monster you want and getting it? Isn't this hundreds of times more excessive than 'Dragon Hidden in Crotch'?"

Han Nuo felt that he was not playing cards, but cruel reality.

No one told him that a lucky draw could be this bad?

[Green Tree Spirit King] LP4000→3200

[Spirit King of Green Trees] put the drawn card on the duel disk without even looking at it.

"The four cards I drew are all monsters that can be special summoned at level 4 or below."

The first one is a monster called [Loneliness]. Its upper body is a human with two horns, and its lower body is a deer. It is a beast warrior holding a scythe that absorbs souls.

[Loneliness] Beast Warrior / Earth Attribute / 3* / ATK1050 / DEF1000

The second one is a monster called [Mountain Gladiator]. It looks like a green-haired savage wearing Viking-style armor. The thick wooden stick in his hand looks very powerful. It is said to be a strong warrior who can move freely even in unfavorable situations.

[Mountain Warrior] Beast Warrior / Earth Attribute / 3* / ATK600 / DEF1000

The third one is a monster called [Living Vase]. At first glance, it looks more like some kind of black-green plant with facial features and two pink trumpets growing on its rhizome. It is said that it can use the flowers on its head to spread pollen and use biting attacks.

[Living Vase] Plant / Earth Attribute / 3* / ATK900 / DEF1100

The fourth picture is a monster called [Flame Grass], which looks like a color-changed version of [Living Vase]. The rhizome has turned into the common brown of tree bark, and the two pink flowers have turned green. It is said to be a grass that lives near a volcano and can blow out flames from the flowers to attack.

[Fire Grass] Plant / Earth Attribute / 2* / ATK700 / DEF600

The two Beast Warrior monsters just looked a little listless. They seemed to be filled with anger but did not dare to vent it. They could only stare at the [Green Tree Spirit King] with resentful eyes.

The two plant monsters were like lower animals seeing a superior predator. They dared not move at all and could only curl up with the two flowers on their heads and tremble in place.

"Warrior over there, I'll let you see my strength. Come down, close the connection circuit of the forest, and summon two or more monsters with different card names. I will set [Loneliness], [Mountain Warrior], [Living Vase], and [Flame Grass] to the connection markers, and the circuit will combine--"

At this point, [Spirit King of Green Trees] even began to chant: "The three dragon skeletons of revenge set off a new arrogance, entangle the enemies who dare to stand in your way with chains and tear them apart completely! Link Summon! Appear! Link 4 - [Dragon Locking Snake - Skeleton Four-Faced Ghost]."

As a member of the dragon clan, the [Dragon Locking Snake - Skeleton Four-Faced Ghost] had a rather indifferent attitude towards the [Green Tree Spirit King], as if they had no hatred against him.

[Dragon Locking Snake-Skeleton Four-Faced Ghost] Dragon / Earth Attribute / ↑↙↓↘ / ATK2800 / Link 4

"When the number of monsters used as Link Materials for [Dragon Locking Snake - Skeleton Four-Faced Ghost] is 4 and it is successfully Link Summoned, you select 4 cards from your Deck, then select 3 cards from your hand and return them to the bottom of your Deck in the order you like."

Han Nuo whispered: "【Dragon Locking Snake】? I have to find a way to get three of them..."

“然后我从手卡中发动通常魔法【紧急救急救命救援】，这个卡名的卡在1回合只能发动1张。自己基本分比对面少的场合才能发动，从卡组把3只攻击力300、守备力100的兽族怪兽给对方观看，地方从那之中选1只。那1只怪兽加入自己手卡。剩余回到卡组。”

"hiss!"

The three cards that appeared in front of him were the extremely powerful support series cards among the Beast monsters: [Rescue Cat], [Rescue Rabbit], and [Rescue Hedgehog].

Under the current circumstances, no matter which of these three cards you choose, it is impossible to avoid the deployment of [Spirit King of Green Trees].

Despite this, Han Nuo still chose the [Rescue Rabbit] that might pose the least threat to him.

"Effect of [Dragon Locking Snake - Skeleton Four-Faced Ghost]: When this card has 3 or more Link Materials, once per turn, during your Main Phase, Special Summon 1 monster from your hand, and I Special Summon [Rescue Ferret] from my hand."

The snow ferret, wearing a striking yellow rescue hat and an orange-yellow uniform, looked at the [Spirit King of Green Trees] with dissatisfaction, but did not say much, silently fulfilling his duties as a card elf.

[Snow Rescue] Beast / Earth Attribute / 4* / ATK300 / DEF100

"【Dragon Locking Snake】 plus 【Snow Rescue】? That's outrageous! Oh no... I'm done for. Don't be so cautious. Am I going to be FTK?"

Han Nuo could only pray in his heart that he would not encounter any outrageous operations, otherwise he would not know how he would be crushed after losing in this world...

"Activate the effect of [Rescue Ferret]. This card's effect can only be used once per turn. Return this card on the field to the owner's deck to activate it. Select any number of monsters other than [Rescue Ferret] from your deck until their total level reaches 1 and Special Summon them to the Link Zone you control. The effects of the monsters Special Summoned by this effect are negated, and they are destroyed at the End Phase."

[Rescue Ferret] only reluctantly left the field and went to the deck to call for his companions.

"Show up! My servants [Licking Three-tongued Dog], [Disruption·Powder], [Sacred Beast of the Forest, Green Leaf Unicorn]."

[Licking Three-tongued Dog] Beast / Earth Attribute / 3* / ATK 0 / DEF 1800

[Disruption Pink] Beast / Light Attribute / 2* / ATK 0 / DEF 1000

[Sacred Beast of the Forest - Leafy Unicorn] Beast Tribe / Earth Attribute / 1 Star / ATK700 / DEF500

The three monsters of different shapes have never shown any good looks to the [Spirit King of Green Trees] since their debut. They are either afraid or resentful, or perhaps even have some resentment and melancholy.

But Han Nuo understood that there was definitely no positive attitude.

"Come again, come down and close the connection circuit of the forest."

"The summoning conditions are 3 Beast-Type monsters including a [Disruption] monster. I will set [Licking Triton], [Disruption·Powder], and [Forest Sacred Beast Green Leaf Unicorn] to the Link Markers, and the circuit will connect—"
