Chapter 73 The Monster in the Gathering Forest

Moving from the outermost edge of the forest to the "junction between the middle and the outside" of Jushen Forest, there are almost no bends or long detours on the road, and it is completely straight to the middle, but it takes nearly two hours to reach the outside and the outside. Central junction.

Just at the junction between the middle and the outside, everyone present felt a strong chill.

The sunlight is completely covered by a large number of leaves and branches, and there is not even a single gap in which the sunlight can successfully enter. The road underneath is neither flat soil nor artificial walkways. It is a special road that cannot be walked smoothly every step of the way.

From the trunk road where each giant tree intersects with each other, it continues to go uphill and then downhill in the next second. As long as the wet fallen leaves are not paying attention, they will probably fall under the trunk "to a place so dark that you can't see the bottom."

Along the way, many branches fell down due to gravity, but there was no sound of touching the ground, as if being swallowed by this space, they disappeared silently before everyone's eyes.

Even though it was the strongest sunlight in the afternoon, everyone felt cold for no reason.

Without the help of sunlight, the temperature would naturally drop a lot, but that's not the reason why everyone shivered unconsciously. The most important thing is that the darkness almost made it impossible to see everything around them, and they could only rely on the faint light of a candle for support. light.

This darkness and the unknown are devouring everyone's spirit.

For a swordsman with amazing dynamic vision, "nothing can move without escaping his eyes", which is the innate confidence and pride of almost every swordsman.

Compared with being in a place where vision is useless, this timidity is stronger than that of ordinary people, especially on this kind of twisted tree trunk path with no fixed way back and no idea where to go.

"Look to the right and don't make a sound."

Walking on the huge tree trunk, without any eye-catching signs, and without any other special items left by man-made, just stopped suddenly on the way and confirmed that he had reached the destination-everyone present except the source felt inconceivable.

It's just that Yuan's tone is obviously full of tension and solemnity, and the happy expression that was sticking together with Kano has disappeared. Everyone subconsciously shut their mouths, followed Yuan's instructions and slowly turned their heads. There are a lot of branches and greens to the right, almost Look at the direction of the grass.

"Following the breeze, gently brush aside the grass."

Under the eyes of everyone, it was just a mass of pitch-black matter. Obediently following the instructions and blowing it up with the breeze, it was slowly pushed away, only to find that it was a mass of grass, but it was too dark for people to judge immediately—Yuan could judge it from a distance. .

In addition to this move, it was obvious that it was deliberately pretending that the grass was blowing by the breeze and the leaves were rubbing against each other.

Should it be said that he lived and grew up in the woods for a long time?Or do people from third countries have special strengths?

This boring idea came to Jieshi's mind, slowly and gently, every time the breeze blows, he would open a little space, until after nearly five repetitions, finally the picture of leaves and branches was no longer in front of him - what was in front of him was Far beyond expectations, extremely horrifying and frightening abnormal scenes.

Tree trunks and vines intertwine to form a smooth and neat flat ground. The leaves just fill up the hollows in the ground gaps. The moist soil acts as a supplementary device for friction to reduce the slippery ground, and there are many warm sunlight shining through the gaps in the forest above.

There is a group of "sheep" on this huge plane that can accommodate hundreds of people.

The limbs are thick and short, the wool on the body is dark gray, and most of the skin is covered by the wool. The size is almost the same as the cognition, and it is almost similar to the family sheep used for food in the kingdom of swords—very similar to the current description. .

The pupils and whites of the eyes are all covered with bloodshot eyes, and they are completely mad like bright red. The teeth in the mouth are all fangs and sticky saliva like a wolf. It is so huge, and the horns are also dark gray.

Except for the eyes, the whole body is similar to the natural environment lacking in light, forming a protective color skillfully.

It must not be this flock of sheep that attracts everyone's attention, but there is a "leader" in this strange flock that seems almost crazy.

Just as there is a leader in a pack of wolves, there is also a leader in such a herd of sheep.

The goat's horns are twice as big as those of the sheep beside him. If the size of the goat's horns is a measure of strength, this "monster" is the absolute boss, but everyone who peeped from the grass knows that it's not just the goat's horns that are special.

From the bottom of the feet, the feet were not short and thick limbs of a sheep, but strong and tall limbs closer to a horse. There seemed to be iron horseshoes on the bottom of the feet.

The wool on his body is not as fluffy as the sheep around him, but short and sparse. His body is almost full of strong muscles that represent explosive power. There are six fingers on his left and right hands. His nails are sharp and sharp, and the light and shadow refracted by the faint light can feel the stinging pain .

Like the flock, the eyes are bright red that represents anger, the lower nose continuously exhales clearly visible air flow, the horns on the head shake with the body trembling, the gray hair on the body flutters slightly with the breeze, and it is in harmony with people. Stand on the ground with both feet.

It is more than three times the size of the elder, and it holds a strangely shaped weapon on its right finger.

The dark brown trunk has been cut and overhauled to create a long stick with a curved blade at the top.

The dark purple pattern on the blade exudes a faint black evil spirit, not only sharp, I am afraid that as long as it is cut with a knife, it will be cut off along with the bloody body.

The whole weapon was huge and unremarkable, twice as big as Qidun's giant sword, as if it was made to match the huge figure of the leader.

Apart from being able to stand on two feet, what makes everyone horrified is the picture of holding a weapon.

Almost the same as a swordsman.

"Accept, return."

Two short words, everyone hastily and tacitly put away the grass.

A small part is naturally that the owner of these words is from a third country, and a large part of the reason is that everyone instinctively drives himself to escape because of the picture he saw.

"Original, may I ask where it was just now?"

"Kana, don't be afraid, just remember to stay close to me, I will definitely protect you! I said, I said it!"

Although a blissful and happy expression flashed across Yuan's face, he was still eroded by an unbearable fear for the next half a second.

Even if he knew the route and the source of the situation outside the forest, he still couldn't hide his fear when he saw that monster.

"Ma'am, is that the creature we need to help defeat?"

There is a usual steady smile on his face, but the corners of his eyes and mouth are not as natural as usual, but look like a forcedly disguised loose smile.

Even if it is not broken, it is impossible to maintain the usual calm mind.

"Captain, that monster seems to be holding a weapon? I've never seen a sword of that shape."

"The swordsmen in the kingdom of swords all think that all weapons are swords? Are the staffs in the kingdom of magic also swords?"

Suspecting to hear Norther's question, Minamoto once again showed a disgusted and contemptuous expression, and in such a tense and dangerous situation, he still did not let go of opening his vicious mouth.

"Miss, please tell me about this monster."

"Why should I listen to you?"

"Well, Minamoto, I beg you too, I don't want everyone to be hindered here."

Kano next to him asked for help, his original hard attitude softened immediately, he made a hesitant voice of "Um", and then looked at Kano with hopeful and happy eyes.

"The content of your help, um, just deal with this monster. The weapon it is good at using is the same as the one you saw. In addition, it has wisdom, so it will take strategic attacks, so be careful."

"Tactical attack, this is really, Noser, Jieshi, I will plan a battle next."

"Hmph, this is impossible."

"Miss, what do you mean?"

"Only one swordsman can be sent alone."

Noser showed an expression of disbelief as if he had misheard. The image of such a huge and strong monster that could only be faced by himself appeared in his head, and he subconsciously felt shuddering.

"Such a request seems too demanding?"

Bupo has also seen how much explosive energy the monster's body contains. Naturally, he has a series of different battles in his mind, but the premise of all simulated tactics is the need for "teamwork."

Now he is asked to be alone, which is unreasonable.

"That's why I hate you guys. I get upset when I think it's unfair to myself, but I never think about the reason and the real beginning."

Without the oppression under the fearless smile, Yuan's face was once again filled with disgust from the bottom of his heart to the outside, and released a strong aura of "If you don't want to do it, go back".

"Miss misunderstood me, I hope you can release more information so that we can use the best tactics at the beginning to avoid losing partners and friends."

"Correct me, partners should be tools, right? Hmph, but I can tell you that the reason they can only go alone is because they have a group habit, understand?"

The group nature of animals also has this word in the animal ecology in Kingdom of Swords.

If it is an animal acting as a whole, all the enemies facing the group will naturally be dispatched to eliminate them, and if there is only one enemy, there will also be a group rushing forward, but if it is for the purpose of erecting and wooing the boss The status will be "one-on-one" for the leader.

The wolves I met had this habit, and there was indeed the possibility of a group habit.

"It would be foolish to think that it's just animal nature."

As if to see through everyone's thoughts, the venomous, precise and undiminished stab at the monotonous thinking and logic on the lips.

"They communicate with animals of other races. The leader fights alone to show off to other animals after hunting prey. Humans are valuable creatures for them to hunt."

After a pause, Yuan's face was once again filled with the disgust that he hated from the bottom of his heart, and those dark and gloomy eyes looked directly at Bupo and the others, as if staring at a deeply hated enemy.

"These animals have this kind of behavior that is not eating but showing off. It is the good deeds of the kingdom of swords and the kingdom of magic. One day when the resources are not enough, they keep digging outside. Weak and small animals rush to the depths of the woods, strong animals hunt and hunt in the form of troops, and finally the powerful wild beasts want to devour them, all of which started with the disaster caused by your country!"

"Miss, the Gathering God Forest has always been a place of fear for humans, I don't think it is arrogant enough to invade here?"

From the very beginning, she has been constantly attacked by this woman's poisonous words. Even Noser, who loves women, didn't pay much attention to Yuan's glamorous beauty until this "too ridiculous words" appeared. With a smile that he thinks is handsome and unrestrained, Se hopes to explain this matter, so as to resolve the misunderstanding in Yuan's heart.

"You mean I'm lying? You don't understand it at all, it's rotten to the brim, from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head!"

Seeing that the situation was about to explode, Bupo urgently intervened in the conversation.

"Miss, I already understand your pain. If this is the case, please let us help. No, it is atonement. To atone for the sins in our hearts, let us kill this monster."

"Hmph, got it? You can only fight alone. Those sheep seem to be harmless. If a group attacks, none of us will be spared."

The attitude seems to have softened a lot, at least to the extent that he is willing to communicate with Bupo, but this harsh condition has not changed, which makes Bupo feel infinitely bitter.

It is simply impossible to send one person to fight, at least under such circumstances.

That monster was too abnormal.

"Captain, why don't you let Jieshi try it?"

"Um?"

"What, what!"

The sudden proposal made Bupo feel dazed for a while, because in his prediction, no one could defeat this monster, even if he tried his best, it was impossible.

Kano showed an unbelievably shocked expression, never thinking that someone in the team would agree to send someone to fight alone.

"Noser, what's the reason?"

"Yes, since he is a human shield player, he must devote himself to his mission. This is a necessary sacrifice for the mission of our team."

"I agree with what you said, but you should also be very clear that such a monster is not something ordinary people can handle."

"Earlier before, Jieshi was the captain of the hostage team. With the experience in the Magic Kingdom, I think he must be strong enough to fight. Captain, didn't you also say that this mission is full of dangers? We have no choice but to Go forward, don't you?"

Sufficient reasons and rationality, strictly speaking, are the only options that can be considered in the absence of options.

It was the last resort.

"It's still too reckless, Jieshi, what do you think?"

Since Jieshi woke up until now, this is the first time that everyone's eyes have moved to Jieshi together, "It is also the first time that Noser stared at Jieshi with a firm and confident expression."

That monster is undoubtedly a formidable enemy.

If it is the youngest head of the Lei family, there may still be a chance of winning, but asking for a hero who is so injured that his walking and breathing are messy, and he does not have a magic sword to assist him, this action is simply a suicide act that joked about his own life. .

"Wait, everyone calm down, that's a monster? It's not an ordinary animal. It's too much for Jieshi to face it alone—"

Kano originally wanted to continue talking, but suddenly Jie Shi's hand patted his shoulder lightly, causing Kano to look at Jie Shi who lowered his head and showed no expression, full of astonishment and doubt.

"I……"

But you must move forward, for the country, your beloved people, good friends, and the glory of the swordsman.

Just thinking about it gets you motivated - what idiotic bullshit!

nod.

Under everyone's gaze, Jie Shi nodded slightly.

Kano was so surprised that he couldn't comprehend such a situation, and he was sluggish, Norther was so happy that the corners of his mouth rose, and Fupo was the first time to cover his smile with tight cheeks, squinting his eyes and watching this "existence that father attaches great importance to".

Can't see through.

This time, Bupo couldn't clearly see what kind of conclusion Jieshi's thinking came to.

"My principle is that everyone in the team needs to agree, except that I will not interfere with duties and life-threatening matters, so Jiexi, are you really going to do this?"

nod.

"Jieshi, although I have always disliked you a little bit, I don't want you to die like this. I once hoped that we could understand each other, but it seems difficult to achieve it until now. Please survive! "

Patting Jieshi's shoulder lightly, Noser automatically stepped aside, keeping a blank expression on his face while looking at the monster's position.

Like a parting between life and death, it is not that everyone gathers together to cheer for Jieshi, but chooses to talk alone.

Everyone subconsciously thought that this was an act of death, and all instinctively wanted to talk alone.

Due to the height difference, Kanai had to raise his jaw slightly to see Jieshi's face covered in bandages clearly - the upward angle made the liquid under the eyes no longer so easy to hide, and could only go down with gravity.

"Please don't do this, just turn your head and refuse the captain, this is not an order at all, it is simply asking you to die, please, don't go!"

Even though his legs appeared to be standing, they were visibly trembling, trembling timidly and weakly.

Those eyes could not help but let the gravity slide out the warm liquid.

"Don't die, don't just die like this, I don't want anyone to die casually like this, if it's the compensation for the weapon, I don't care about it, please don't agree."

In a dangerous environment where a lot of noise cannot be made, Fupo moved to Kano's side and patted his shoulder lightly, allowing Kano to turn around and hide in Bupo's arms, eyes and nose, to avoid uncontrollable spillage of liquid.

"Thanks……"

Before Jieshi finished speaking, Bupo took the initiative to walk between the two of them and gently moved Kanao to Yuan's side, covering his uncontrollable emotions under Yuan's gentle embrace, and avoiding making too much noise.

"Jessie, good luck."

In the last conversation, Bupo just sent such a sentence, leading the others away.

Let Jieshi stay in the same place alone, and everyone retreats to the main road on the higher level of the giant tree. Everyone has different meanings in their eyes, waiting for Jieshi to carry out his task.

Under the cold, joking, and sad gaze, the thin and slender figure moved towards the goal without hesitation.
