God's Garden

In the early morning, even though the sun hadn't shown its face yet, there was no trace of light in the half-demon forest. The pitch-black sky was densely covered with scary branches and vines, and the evil purple aura made people shudder.

Looking up, it looks like this, but looking down, it feels like both feet have been cut off. The thick black smoke makes it difficult to see the ground. Every time Beiyumen will raise his feet higher to confirm his Both feet are still there.

Looking around, Bei Yumen was a little worried that those terrifying blood demon wolves would suddenly appear again. Although those wolves were not opponents in their current situation, he still hoped that if possible, there would be no restlessness. After all, they needed to find Entrance to the underground.

"Did Hero mention where the entrance might be?" Bei Yumen asked in a low voice.

"It's probably in the center..." Recalling the conversation he had with Hero in the afternoon, Fujikawa thought for a while, "Should we go to the center?"

"Central... you mean the place where there are hundreds of miles of snow lions?"

"..." Hearing Kita Mimon's mention, Fujikawa was stunned, "Yes."

Having said that, both of them fell silent.

Because this means that when the time comes, they will have to deal with the Baili Snow Lion first...

The one who broke the silence was Fujikawa who breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and smiled at Kita Mimon, "It's okay, we'll talk when we get there."

That's right, it's useless to worry too much, they have to find the direction to the center first.

I still remember that the way to tell the direction in this forest is to rely on the flat and corroded trees that can be seen everywhere. The older this kind of tree is, it will become more and more slender due to autonomous corrosion.Therefore, the more you go inside, the rotten trees will become more and more withered, so almost all the rotten trees in the middle of the forest are only thin dead branches.

I don't know how long I walked forward, because I was worried that the light would attract the attention of other monsters, Beiyumen didn't summon the photon sphere to illuminate it, and it didn't feel good to walk forward in the dark, only the faint moonlight barely provided it. Minimal light.He held Fujikawa's hand tightly, fearing that he would accidentally lose his way, and kept looking around while keeping his footsteps light.

The reason why he is so nervous is very simple. When he and Hero came into the forest and encountered wolves, apart from worrying about the appearance of blood demon wolves in groups, the shadow of the psychedelic beast was still in his heart, and he was hit by a palm. The feeling of slamming into a tree is not something you can just forget.

Kita Mimon, who thought it would be fine as long as he guarded his surroundings like this, bumped into Fujikawa who stopped suddenly after 5 minutes.

"..."

"...Fujikawa?"

Fujikawa blocked him behind and took a few steps back, staring around with suddenly cold eyes, and finally stopped in a certain direction.

"Something is coming."

"Could it be another blood demon..."

Just halfway through Bei Yumen's words, a large number of big blood-red eyes suddenly appeared in the shadows of the bushes, looking extremely scary.

This appearance obviously confirmed Beiyumen's doubts. This time they didn't just meet a few like last time, but a lot of them came in one breath. Beiyumen looked around, only to find that they were almost surrounded.

Obviously, I have been very careful in my actions...!

When all the wolves showed up, wolves howled one after another, and the sound made the ears a little uncomfortable.With his back facing Fujikawa, Bei Yumen was afraid that a pack of wolves would attack from behind when he was unaware, so he raised his hands without taking out his staff, ready to fight anytime, anywhere.

However, Fujikawa didn't seem to want him to fight.

"Relax, it's fine."

Although Beiyumen pretended to be calm, Fujikawa still knew that his trembling body after coming to this forest showed that he was not completely free from fear. After all, Beiyumen experienced the first catastrophe of life and death here. He also saw how the door fought against the wolves.

"A mere pack of wolves, no need to use magic."

I don't know if he understood Fujikawa's words, or if he clearly sensed his disdain. All the wolves who were provoked were in a state of alert and prepared for war. They looked as if they were ready to attack, as if Fujikawa would get up and attack with a slight movement. Kita Mimon You can even see the blood-red liquid dripping along the sharp teeth.

Recalling that when he was captured by the psychedelic beast, he was also in danger of being almost eaten, and he couldn't help getting goose bumps.

Without giving him much time to recall, the pack of wolves facing Beiyumen suddenly swarmed up. He was about to fight back when he was distracted for a moment, but he was stunned for a moment when he looked at the fangs, thinking that he was about to be killed. When the wolves knocked him down, Fujikawa suddenly turned around and took him into his arms.

"Go away!"

In an instant, a cold sweating fear swept over his whole body. Although Fujikawa's embrace made him feel at ease, Kita Mimon noticed that his hands were trembling constantly, no matter how hard he squeezed, he couldn't stop.

Why?It definitely wasn't the wolves' harm. He can guarantee that although he was frightened by the blood demon wolf, he wouldn't be so scared——

The air seemed to be silent at this moment.

Without the successive low howls of the wolves, the howling of wolves calling for friends and companions also meant that the war was about to stop. In Fujikawa's arms, there was no other sound except his own heartbeat.

He raised his head, he couldn't see Fujikawa's face clearly in the dark night, but those aqua blue eyes glowed with a little light, and the gold hidden in them turned into vertical pupils at some point, staring at the surrounding people. The momentum was different from before, the sides of the teeth became a little sharper, it looked like an extremely angry beast, Kita Mimon could feel that the ice elements around Fujikawa were beyond the level of restlessness, and were rushing around, very restless.

No... technically, an angry dragon?Is this the power of the dragon...

So the reason why I was shaking just now was because Fujikawa used the power of the dragon?

"North Mimon?" After a while, Fujikawa pulled him away from his arms, "Are you okay?"

"..."

Ah... the trembling stopped...

Kita Yumon looked up at Fujikawa again, the anger just now disappeared, and that look returned to his usual face, the gentle face was looking at him with some worry at this moment, and the coldness in his eyes was replaced by warmth.

"You are trembling." Fujikawa frowned slightly, with helplessness in his words, "Did I scare you?"

"..."

He obviously wanted to protect himself, so why did he show such an expression.

Kita Mimon shook his head and hugged Fujikawa forcefully, "I'm fine, your arms are safe."

"That's good."

It's really strange, just now he was so afraid that he couldn't say a word, but now he calmed down unexpectedly when he heard Fujikawa's impatient heartbeat.

While protecting himself, Fujikawa is also worried about hurting himself, right?

After a while, Bei Yumen withdrew from his embrace until both of them were able to breathe steadily.There were no traces of wolves around. It should be because Fujikawa's terrifying atmosphere just now drove away all the wolves.

"What was that just now?" Holding Fujikawa's hand, Kita Mimon blinked and asked, "It changed your eyes and teeth."

"Ah...that." Fujikawa paused for a while, then smiled and shook Kita Mimon's hand, "Is it barely called Longwei?"

"Longwei?" Bei Yumen tilted his head, expressing his confusion.

Fujikawa led him to continue walking, while explaining, "Rion taught me a little bit about the dragon's ability."

It stands to reason that the dragon power of the dragon clan should be used when it shows itself. He has also experienced Gran's dragon power a few times. It is a kind of arrogance that uses its own excellence to suppress the enemy, making people feel the difference At the same time, there is also fear and fear, so as to achieve the result of winning without fighting.

The effects of Dragon Might vary from race to race. For example, when the Ice Crystal Dragon is used, the ice element will be extremely fierce, while when Gran uses it, the power of the Emerald Dragon will incite the wind element to go berserk.

However, most of the dragon clan will not use the human form to release the dragon's power. Fortunately, Li En is an elder-level ice crystal dragon, so he can teach Fujikawa how to use it. After all, Fujikawa cannot become such a big dragon, so this is slightly changed. The pupils and a little appearance are enough to show that the power of the dragon is merging with Fujikawa bit by bit.

Maybe with a little more getting used to it, he will be able to separate the target who wants to use Longwei on him. It was indeed his mistake to scare Beiyumen this time.

"I see……"

After listening to Fujikawa's explanation for a while, Kita Mimon generally understood, and it's no wonder that the wolves would retreat obediently, because even he himself was so frightened that he had goose bumps all over his body. At that moment, it seemed that a huge pressure came down, making people Powerless to resist, can only surrender.

Bei Yumen coughed a few times, pretending to do nothing, if he continued to show fear, Fujikawa would definitely blame himself to the point of making him feel distressed.

Anyway, the result is good, that's good.

Perhaps it was thanks to Fujikawa who scared away all the wolves. They did not see the blood demon wolf looking for trouble on the next journey. In order to prevent other demons from coming to the door again, Fujikawa once again used the breath-eliminating dragon Magic, so that two people can walk in the forest safely, without disturbing some sensitive monsters or man-eating plants.

Bei Yumen still remembered the huge blood-sucking Roman grass that devoured Seat with one hand. At that time, he was also surrounded heavily. Fortunately, Fujikawa came down from the sky to save him.Looking at the roman grass swaying from side to side, Fujikawa and Kita Mimon walked around knowingly, giving up the idea of ​​going directly through.

Maybe it’s because the journey is too peaceful, and the crows that pass over your head from time to time will always scare Beiyumen. It’s like someone is beating a drum in your ear when you’re sleeping peacefully. It’s strange if you don’t wake up .

Finally, as the corroded trees became thinner and flatter, they came to a relatively open area of ​​the forest. There were no bushes or plants, only withered corroded trees standing in the open space, and there were not many traces of living things.

"Is this the center?"

The sky was revealed without the cover of a large number of dead branches. Although the purple smoke still blocked the view, the little light in the sky seemed to indicate that the sun had risen.

Looking at the time, it was already past six o'clock.

"Let's take a break." Stopping in his tracks, Fujikawa found a relatively hidden place, "We're almost at the center."

Along the way, they have been looking for places that might hide the entrance, but everything is too natural, there is nothing wrong with it, even if they use magic to search, they have not found another entrance and exit.

Maybe it's true?

The two of them who thought this way had no choice but to pin their hopes in the middle of the forest.

It is quite possible, the Baili Snow Lion is the largest monster in the forest, and it is quite normal to rely on it to guard the entrance.

"I said... hey, Fujikawa."

"Um?"

The two of them took a short rest and sat down against the stone. Bei Yumen ate nutritional supplements to supplement his physical strength, and also ate more spirit-boosting medicinal fruits to drive away some drowsy thoughts.Holding his knees, he put his chin on his head, tilted his head and opened his mouth.

"Does the Baili Snow Lion have a permanent habitat?"

"A fixed habitat?" Fujikawa blinked and looked back at him, before speaking after a while, "Yes, it only has a fixed sleeping place."

"So it runs around when it wakes up?"

"There is a certain range of motion." Fujikawa explained with a smile, "Don't worry, it's morning, and it will be time to sleep after a while."

"..."

Hearing what he said, Kita Mimon suddenly lowered his head and was thinking about something. Seeing that his reaction was not right, Fujikawa asked curiously,

"What's wrong?"

"..."

Bei Yumen raised his head, hesitant to speak with a very tangled expression, he hesitated for a while before asking,

"The entrance should... not be right where it sleeps? Under it or something..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, even Fujikawa fell silent.

Seeing that he has calmed down, it was as if he had acquiesced to Bei Yumen's thoughts and asked Bei Yumen to grab him in a panic.

"No way? It shouldn't be possible, right?"

If this is the case, it means they have to wake up Baili Snow Lion, doesn't it?It's bedtime now, isn't it?No one likes to be woken up!

"..."

Fujikawa coughed a few times, reached out and patted his head to appease the flustered emotions, but the answer Fujikawa said next made Kita Mimon very frustrated.

"It's actually quite possible."

After resting for a while, the two embarked on the journey again, perhaps wanting to overthrow their own doubts, the next section of the road, Beiyumen, was looking for the exit very seriously.The strange mud where the black smoke dissipated slightly, the dead branches arranged in an unusually neat manner, or the corroded tree that broke suddenly... He found many places that might hide the entrance, but each of them failed, and each of them was just a big one. Signs of nature.

Finally, the two of them came to the most open field.

There are no corroded trees around, and even the black smoke has faded a lot. I can gradually see my feet clearly. There is only an open space in front of me. There are obvious signs of sinking in the center. It looks like something has been pressed on it for many years. Naturally sunken.

"Are you in the middle?" Kita Mimon asked, grabbing Fujikawa's sleeve.

"En." Fujikawa replied, "That's where Baili Snow Lion sleeps."

"..."

He couldn't hear any noise around him. The Baili Snow Lion probably hadn't come back yet. Bei Yumen stepped forward boldly, trying to see if there was a possibility of an entrance in the huge open space. Fujikawa didn't stop him, but Slowly follow behind.

Then—he really found it, right in the middle of the hole.

Right, center, center!

Standing on the edge of the hole, this sunken hole is not a big joke, and the depth is as high as him. If it slips down, he really doesn't know if he can climb up.

"Fujikawa, look, there it is!"

"……indeed."

A door that looks like a flip-top is right in the middle, so why be sure it could be the entrance?

It's very simple, because it has the same sealing magic as the gate of the half-demon forest. Beiyumen can't see the details clearly, but he can guarantee that it is definitely a magic circle.

"What should I do? Can I go down and have a look?"

"That's right...tsk!"

Only halfway through Fujikawa's words, he looked away quickly, grabbed the Beiyumen in the next second, and retreated a few meters away, hiding behind a small rock, hiding the figures of two people.

Bei Yumen knew the reason without asking, because at the next moment, the sound of footsteps vibrating in his heart revealed the truth.

——The owner of this forest, Baili Snow Lion, has returned.

How dare I pick this time to come back to sleep!The Beiyumen wanted to jump, and he was almost able to check the magic circle on the door, but no matter how much he wanted to curse, he could only stay obediently at this moment.

The Baili Snow Lion is indeed the king of the forest. When it fully appeared, all the bad things about Beiyumen disappeared without a trace.

The snow-white body looked a bit evil in the treacherous purple air, with sharp teeth hanging outside, and the blood stains made Bei Yumen dare not detect what the Baili Snow Lion had done just now, every step was a sinking, I can feel the terrifying weight of the monster in front of me.

It slowly paced back to the hole, and the breath it exhaled was so strong that it blew away the remaining black smoke on the ground. Seeing this situation, Bei Yumen seemed to be able to understand why the black smoke in this area gradually decreased.

"How to do?"

Bei Yumen didn't dare to ask too loudly, and almost spoke in a breathy voice.

Although they still have the magic to erase the breath, they are still too close to the Baili Snow Lion. The short distance of a few meters makes Beiyumen very nervous.

"Um……"

Fujikawa snorted a few times, looking around as he was thinking of a solution, and was about to simply wait until Baili Snow Lion woke up and left again, when a feeling of looking over interrupted his idea.

Immediately looking in the direction of the line of sight, what Fujikawa saw was a huge strange bird—the Extinct Bird was hanging upside down on the branch of the corroded tree, staring straight at them.

"Oops!"

As soon as Fujikawa was about to pull up the North Imperial Gate, the Extinct Bird suddenly let out a tragic cry, and the eyes of Baili Snow Lion, which had not been closed for a long time, opened violently, just in time to see the two people who stood up.

It was discovered!

Beiyumen's head exploded with a bang, looking at the Baili Snow Lion who was taller than him by an unknown amount, he paused in a daze, and it was this movement that made Baili Snow Lion pounce on him immediately, Fujikawa grabbed At the right time, he pulled out Di Ke and chopped up the rock, took advantage of the smoke and took Bei Yumen to a place where there were many corroded trees to hide.

Too bad, he even forgot that there is a certain chance of the Extinct Bird appearing in the center of the forest.

This kind of bird will hide its own breath, but once the pair of terrifying eyes find humans, they will stare at him. It is because of this that Fujikawa noticed the gaze, and then waited until the humans found themselves. The resting brain will make a scary cry, awakening or attracting the surrounding monsters.

Too careless, I would have known that he would not look back——

"Fujikawa, what should we do now?"

"..."

Fujikawa thought about it quickly, then he grabbed Kita Mimon's shoulder and told him his plan seriously.

"I'm going to deal with that bird first, and draw Baili Snow Lion's attention by the way. It has already seen us, so it's impossible to go back to sleep."

"Then I..." Bei Yumen frowned.

"You can open the door while I lure it away. There is a magic circle on it, right?"

Fujikawa smiled, with a soothing voice,

"After opening it, go in first. You can't be in danger. If Baili Snow Lion sees you moving around on its bed, it will give up on me and go find you."

"No! What should you do like this?" Kita Yumon retorted decisively, "After the magic circle is untied, there is only a short time to pass through!"

"It doesn't matter, there will be a way."

"you can not--"

Interrupting Kita Mimon's words, Fujikawa gently kissed him on the cheek, "I won't mess around, I will leave here with you."

"..."

Seeing that Kita Mimon didn't speak anymore, Fujikawa took it as his consent.

In the next second, he discovered the feeling of sight again. Fujikawa asked Kita Yumen not to pay attention to this gaze, and at the same time asked him to seize the right time to go to the door. The hole is deep enough, and he will continue to be on Kita Yumen. With the magic of eliminating breath, Baili Snow Lion should not notice.

After explaining the matter, accompanied by the roar of the Baili Snow Lion, Fujikawa clenched Dike and stood up, looking at the big white lion that was making trouble, as if he was even more unhappy because of being woken up, his eyes were stained with scary bright red.

Too bad, a woke lion is the hardest thing to deal with.

Fujikawa quickly jumped onto the open space with his lower body, and while attracting the attention of Baili Snow Lion, he looked towards the Extinct Bird with a smile on his face.

The sharp cry came out again. It seems that besides attracting monsters, its cry had the effect of irritating them, because the Baili Snow Lion was obviously more violent, judging from the strength of the palm that smashed the rock. .

"..."

Neatly dodging the palm of Baili Snow Lion, looking at the sharp nails that had sunk into the soil, Fujikawa let out a soft breath, and at the same time, with sharp eyes, he caught a glimpse of the small figure of Bei Yumen holding the staff carefully. Getting closer to the entrance, Fujikawa even provoked the Baili Snow Lion, completely attracting its attention.

The disgusting sense of staring struck again, this time Fujikawa did not hesitate, while looking at the Extinct Bird, he jumped towards it with all his strength, and stood on the feet of the Extinct Bird hanging on the branch , while pressing it hard, greeted it with a smile.

"Looks like I have to get rid of you first."
