When his "body" came into contact with the chest of the eagle-faced man, the latter seemed to not exist, and he "passed" through it easily!
"stop!"
The eagle-faced man roared angrily.
His surprisingly large palms were about to reach towards Matthew.
With a thought, Matthew suddenly flew at an incredible speed!
He also tried flying in the field before, but his movement speed was about one-third of his current speed.
But now.
Matthew just had a thought, and his entire perspective flew far, far away!
So far.
He could finally see the scenery above the waterfall clearly.
It was an endless river with an open and tranquil surface. There were dense pine or cypress trees on both sides, and the wild grasses in full bloom were as tall as two people.
From his perspective, he could only see the majestic greenery.
The hawk-faced man flew towards him in anger.
Matthew deftly swam up the river.
He lowered his head to see his reflection, but found that the water was blurry.
When he tried his best to see the scene on the river clearly, the river water suddenly turned into a thick milky white color.
Matthew didn't have time to take a closer look.
The eagle-faced man is not slow, but he cannot catch Matthew because Matthew's current form is almost non-existent.
several times.
He all chased Matthew and almost stopped him.
In the process, Matthew also discovered that as long as he concentrated, his flying speed would become faster and faster.
He guessed that he was currently traveling in the swimming realm with a ray of thought.
It is not easy for the hawk-faced man to catch him, and it is also difficult for him to hurt the hawk-faced man.
When he thought about this, Matthew felt bored.
So he gathered all his strength and flew towards the upper reaches of the river.
Under Matthew's full acceleration.
The hawk-faced man was immediately left far behind.
Not long after.
Matthew suddenly discovered a very strange thing——
He was obviously flying against the direction of the river flow, flying upstream.
But why is it that while flying, the direction of the river below is the same as the direction of my flight?
Matthew once thought he had lost his direction and walked back to the original path.
But looking at the eagle-faced man chasing after him, he knew that he was not mistaken.
Some distance further.
A huge fracture surface appeared in the river ahead.
Matthew took a closer look.
It was a waterfall falling downwards!
He approached the waterfall with great curiosity, and at the moment he flew out of the cliff, the angry voice of the eagle-faced man came from behind him:
"That's not a place you can enter..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Matthew felt as if balls of jelly were pouring into both ears, his vision was extremely blurry, and his physical feeling was more like hitting a membrane head-on!
puff!
An imperceptible crisp sound.
Matthew seemed to have broken through the invisible membrane and came to a whole new world!
In front of us is a dilapidated scene:
Towering but withered giant trees;
Thick vines hanging from the sky are everywhere;
Spider webs spread among the vines;
A broken stone statue lay on the ground. It was wrapped in weeds. Only the head exposed by the grass was intact. But the half-smiling expression on the stone statue's face was really chilling.
The sound of the river flowing in my ears disappeared instantly.
Matthew looked back.
Behind him are the same dilapidated woods, waterfalls, long rivers and the woods on both sides have completely disappeared.
"Is this another dimension of the Oak Realm?"
Matthew carefully looked at his surroundings.
The next second.
A chuckle sounded in his ears:
"Matthew, you are so cute!"
Matthew looked back in surprise——
A fairy with a beautiful face and a green light all over his body was smiling lightly beside him.
It's actually Lulu?
"How will you be here?"
Matthew asked.
Lulu said "Huh":
"Didn't you summon me?"
"I was inspired by your realm, so I came to your side."
"Speaking of which, I should ask you, right?
When did you master the art of fairy transformation?
And actually found a way to enter the "Fairy Flower Garden"?"
Lulu's series of rhetorical questions confused Matthew.
He glanced at the data column.
…
"Tip: You broke through the shackles of the "Oak Domain" and reached the "Fairy Flower Garden" which is an extension of the "Natural Domain" through the "Two-Way River" and the "Shenghuan Waterfall".
With the help of the natural realm, you have your own "natural form".
Natural form: As you enter different natural realms and their extensions, you will gain an adaptive form.
The current natural form is: Oak Fairy (Fairy Princess/Princess two-piece set has been automatically equipped).
You enter the fairy realm and automatically summon your fairy partner "Princess Lulu".
You have arrived at the "backyard place"!"
…
Only then did Matthew notice.
Unknowingly, she had been transformed into the fairy princess by the natural realm, holding a cute mini fairy wand in her hand, and on her head was a crown symbolizing arcane power.
"I see."
"The Fairy Garden is an extension of the natural realm, and by exploring the oak realm, I unknowingly traveled back the river and crossed the waterfall. Although I did not officially enter the natural realm, I inadvertently visited an extension of the natural realm.
"
Matthew figured out the cause and effect.
He couldn't help but let out a long breath.
But when he realized where he was, his nerves became tense again.
"Did you say last time that the back courtyard is the most dangerous place in the entire Fairy Garden?"
Matthew asked.
Lulu nodded with some fear:
"Yes, I just discovered that this is the back courtyard."
"I heard that there are many warlike fairies here, and this is also the place where the entire flower garden is most frequently harassed by hunters. When the Snow Queen was still there, part of this place was already eroded."
"Matthew, why are you here? Why don't we go back..."
Lulu's voice just fell.
A rough rubbing sound came from behind the two of them. Matthew looked back and saw the eagle-faced man walking out of the void.
As he walked, he struggled to pull the air around him, his eyes full of resentment:
"I told you, no traffic is allowed here!"
"Why don't you follow the rules?"
"Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will die!"
A crackling sound erupted.
The eagle-faced man rushed forward, almost breaking through the barrier between the realms and rushing in front of the two of them.
Lulu was so frightened that she screamed and hid.
Matthew was not afraid of him.
The reason why he didn't fight with the opponent before was because he found that he lacked a body in the field, but now that he has a body, even if it is just a cute fairy princess, he has room to operate!
When it is.
He raised the staff in his hand and fired a "spiritual puncture" at the eagle-faced man!
Spiritual puncture belongs to the category of natural spellcasting abilities and enjoys the powerful attribute bonus of "Princess Scepter".
The eagle-faced man was caught off guard and ate it.
At that moment, he screamed and clasped his head tightly with both hands.
Matthew sensed that the opponent was suffering from a splitting headache and was about to pursue the victory. Lulu, who had been hiding aside, saw that Matthew had the upper hand and boldly began to cast spells.
As a real fairy princess, Lulu can use many more spells than Matthew.
""Fist of Rock"!"
she shouted crisply.
In an instant, a huge fist made of rock suddenly fell from the sky and hit the eagle-faced man hard on the head.
Now the latter is not as simple as having a splitting headache.
A big bump suddenly appeared on his head!
The eagle-faced man struggled for a while, and seemed to have the intention to retreat, intending to return to his original territory.
Lulu shouted unreasonably:
"Quick, quick, Matthew, take off his mask!"
Matthew's heart moved.
He rushed forward very boldly and lifted up a corner of the eagle-faced man's mask.
The latter shouted in great horror:
"Get away!"
"Don't touch me, you disgusting goblins!"
His hands flapped wildly.
But because he happened to be stuck between the two areas, he was halfway through but not completely over, so he couldn't capture Matthew at all with his hands!
"Come and help!"
Matthew could only lift one corner of his mask, and there was a strap on the other side that had to be cut off.
But Lulu is timid after all.
She just yelled fiercely.
It's still a bit difficult to let her fight hand to hand.
"I'll give you a few more punches!"
she shouted weakly.
Then he controlled the fist of rock to hit the eagle-faced man on the head violently.
The latter couldn't bear the humiliation and jerked his neck back.
As a result, Matthew completely pulled off the mask at this moment.
puff!
The Eagle Man mask fell to the ground.
Matthew saw a distorted face full of fear and anger.
That face is so ugly and shriveled that the zombies in Matthew's Cemetery are much more handsome than him!
After losing the mask.
The man's height began to shrink rapidly, becoming only about half of his previous size!
His eyes and facial features became extremely small, like sesame seeds embedded in a flesh ball.
His rough hands were only covered with a thin film of blood, and all the previous feathers and skin disappeared.
"Wow!"
"It's a Qiuqiu man!"
Lulu exclaimed.
(Note: Tcho-Tcho is a creature in the Cthulhu Mythos.)
"Give me my mask back!"
The Qiuqiu man was groping randomly on the ground.
Matthew looked at him deeply, held up his mask and flew away quickly.
Lulu saw this and punched the enemy again, then hurriedly followed.
There was a sound like shattering glass and the hysterical wailing of Qiuqiu people from behind.
The two of them flew far away in one breath. They didn't stop until they were sure they wouldn't be caught up.
"Why do you want me to snatch his mask?"
Matthew asked Lulu.
Lulu blinked:
"I just think if he didn't have a mask, he would look funny, hehehe..."
Matthew smiled.
The nature of goblins is indeed naughty and mischievous, even Lulu, who usually looks shy and quiet, is also like this.
He thought she had discovered something strange about the mask.
But it's a hit or miss.
Not only is this mask useful, it also contains amazing information!
…
"Eagle Man Mask: A magic item made by the elder of the air element. The wearer can automatically transform into the appearance of a hawk man.
Relevant judgment——
1. Perception (Twilight Creation): You sense the aura of "Crazy Second Hand Turing" on this mask.
2. Knowledge (fey creatures): You vaguely remember that the Qiuqiu people have always had a tradition of worshiping the air element.
3. Knowledge (Old Enemy): From the plane of the air element to the main material world, and even to the outer plane, the air element and the hawk are always undying enemies."
…
Air Element, Eagle Man, Qiuqiu Man, Crazy Second Hand...
The connection between them is quite clear.
Matthew realized.
The increasingly active Crazy Second Hand has not only touched part of the fairy garden, but may also have penetrated deep into the natural realm.
As for the evil Qi element and the Qiuqiu people, it is also reasonable for them to become believers of Crazy Second Hand.
After all, even the fairies are praying to the Crazy Second Hand for strength when they are desperate.
"The recovery momentum of Dusk Creation is very strong, and Gai Lan and Crazy Second Hand are probably just the tip of the iceberg."
"They took advantage of the gods' inability to control the realm and tried to prevent others from entering the realm by supporting spokespersons."
"You must be careful when entering various fields in the future."
Matthew's heart was awe-inspiring.
He and Lulu were flying aimlessly.
The environment in the back courtyard is much more decayed, and all you can see are decaying trees and dead grass.
The two of them flew far away before they heard a bush of grass spirit chirping:
"The Minotaur is here again!"
"And Lulu the crybaby!"
"My dear fairy princess, please don't wander around outside. You may encounter fighting maniacs who don't distinguish between friend and foe and terrifying faceless ghosts!"
Lulu blushed and said angrily:
"I'm not a crybaby!"
The grass spirits laughed and said:
"You say it doesn't work, we say it will work, just a little bit..."
The next second.
A glowing red goblin flew out from the other side of the grass.
The grass spirits were so frightened that they ran away.
The goblin's eyes were bloodshot and he stared at the two of them and said:
"Why are you two still here?"
"If we don't hurry up, we won't be able to catch up with the hunter!"
Lulu flew back with some fear.
Matthew greeted him:
"You want to hunt down hunters? Are they those faceless men with shotguns in their hands? What are their origins?"
The goblin said irritably:
"Why do you have so many questions?"
"Which one should I answer?"
"I'm so annoyed!"
Said.
He punched Matthew with red eyes!
Matthew was taken aback.
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and dodged tactfully.
Only then did he notice that all the muscles on this goblin's body were in a state of high congestion and swelling.
He looked like he couldn't control his body at all.
"Come and fight with me!"
"I can't stand it anymore!"
The goblin rushed towards Matthew in a hurry.
Matthew calmly threw a mental piercing pass, and the other party's face suddenly showed a look of pain.
At this time, Lulu's rock fist also smashed down.
After all, fairies are not rough-skinned and fleshy Qiuqiu people.
This fist goes down.
The other party immediately fell unconscious.
"He has a very strange power. I'll try to see if I can purify it."
Lulu waved her staff and recited a long prayer.
Under the blue-white glow.
The red light on this goblin gradually faded.
It took about five minutes.
He woke up from his coma with blank eyes:
"Where am I?"
"Aren't I going to hunt down hunters?"
"Hiss...it hurts!"
He covered his head and moaned.
Matthew and Lulu looked at each other, and the former asked:
"What's your name? Do you remember what happened before?"
The goblin said calmly:
"My name is Borg, and I am a warrior recruited by the priestess. I only remember that Witch Parason made us drink the elixir, and then I went to hunt down the hunters with other goblins.
By the way, I remembered it!
We defeated several hunters, and then my companions and I were separated...
Damn, why does my head hurt so much?
Forget about the headache, why does my butt hurt so much?"
Borg touched his head and buttocks, looking very uncomfortable.
Matthew noticed something at this moment.
He guessed that the elixir mentioned by the witch and priestess before was probably a drug that could stimulate fighting power.
The side effect is that people become belligerent and out of control.
This drug is most likely related to the crazy second hand.
It is precisely because of the influence of Crazy Second Hand that they talk crazy and are confused about the naming and reference of drugs.
The elixir may not really refer to the elixir in the literal sense.
It's a drug that can improve goblins' combat effectiveness.
"If you understand it this way, the logic makes sense."
"The creatures living in the flower garden should be more or less affected by the Crazy Second Hand, so their behavior seems very weird, but they are unlikely to cause actual harm to others."
While thinking.
Matthew chatted with the goblin named Borg for a long time.
from his mouth.
Matthew roughly determined the location where the battle took place.
Because this time he entered the flower garden, he intervened through the natural realm. Whether it was himself or the summoned Lulu, he could withdraw from the realm by exiting the realm.
So this time he can explore this place boldly.
After a while.
The two said goodbye to Borg and flew towards the location where the encirclement and suppression battle took place.
Matthew thought he would meet other goblins soon.
However, it took a long time to fly all the way out.
None of them felt the spirit of the goblin.
Instead, it was in a square with many stone statues.
They saw a faceless hunter holding a double-barreled shotgun and advancing cautiously!
Matthew could feel that this hunter was quite dangerous. Fortunately, his body was too big compared to the goblin. With various obstructions, the two of them quietly followed the faceless man.
The faceless man looked cautious as he moved.
Walk every distance.
He would suddenly turn his head and stare far away, trying to find potential targets.
Fortunately, both of them were quite cautious.
Until the faceless man arrived at his destination, the two men's whereabouts were not exposed.
There is a camp deep in the statue square.
There are four bedding sheets neatly laid out in the camp.
Three of the beddings currently looked bulging, but Matthew did not see the torso or limbs of the humanoid creature.
What shocked Matthew was...
A hemp rope as thick as an adult's finger hung above the bedding, and three faceless human skins were hanging on the hemp rope!
They hid behind a stone statue and watched carefully.
The Faceless Man was busy in the camp for a while.
After a while.
When he came to the bedding, he suddenly jumped on his feet and raised his neck above the height of the hemp rope.
Then he pounced forward.
His neck hit the rope directly.
The whole person is hanging on the hemp rope!
The next second.
A magical scene happened——
The faceless man's body made a chirping sound as if it had been deflated.
at the same time.
His body also began to wither at an extremely fast speed.
An extra piece of human skin was instantly added to the hemp rope.
In Matthew's field of vision.
A faint gray-white aura flew out of the faceless man's body.
The light soon landed on the last bedding.
Covers rapid expansion.
Becomes exactly like the other three.
Just at this moment.
A cold hand suddenly grasped Matthew tightly!
Matthew's heart suddenly rose to his throat, but when he looked back, he found that the person holding his hand was Lulu.
"Matthew I'm scared."
Lulu whispered.
Matthew made a silent gesture, gently touched her head, and then motioned Lulu to wait where she was.
And he himself boldly touched it.
Just near the edge of the camp.
Matthew was attracted by a sign on the faceless man’s blanket——
"This logo, isn't this the logo of Stuluk Industries?"
Matthew's heart trembled.
So could that gray light just now be the spiritual body of the Necron?
The hunters that the goblins talk about are the projections of the Necron from Stuluk Industries into the natural realm?
In this way, the truth will become clearer.
In order to resist the invasion of the Necron, the priestess had no choice but to pray to the Crazy Second Hand for strength.
As for the disappearance of the Snow Queen, it probably has something to do with Stuluk Industries.
"Stuluk Industries' penetration into the outer plane is simply pervasive!"
Matthew quickly flew to the weapons rack.
He placed one hand on the double-barreled shotgun.
But the next second.
When he looked at Lulu who was ambushing outside the camp, he suddenly discovered that the head of a stone statue behind her slowly opened its eyes and was staring at her coldly!
Matthew quickly looked in the direction of the bedding.
I don’t know when it started.
The four originally swollen beddings have shriveled up.
A terrifying sense of crisis came over me.
Matthew hugged the double-barreled shotgun and suddenly activated his thoughts——
Exit the field!
Hiss!
A sharp rubbing sound sounded in his ears.
Between the electric light and flint.
Matthew saw a giant skeleton face that was infinitely elongated and ferocious!
The next second.
His consciousness returned to his body.
Also in shock was Lulu lying on his shoulder.
There was a rough and cold feeling on my hand.
Matthew looked down and grinned:
"Fortunately, the shotgun was stolen!"
It's a pity that the double-barreled shotgun is full of question marks.
Matthew tried to use forensic techniques, but ended up with more question marks.
It seems that this thing is a high-end product of Stuluk Industries, and it is not so easy for people to decipher the information.
Matthew wasn't in a hurry either.
He calmed down, comforted the frightened Lulu, and then began to check what he had gained from exploring the oak field.
…
"Hint: You successfully explored the extended area of the natural domain through the domain ladder.
Your number of explorations in the Oak Domain has reached 4 times, and you have successfully become a "veteran" in the Oak Domain.
For any decision within the oak realm, you will get higher priority!
Your intelligence +1 (permanent);
Your domain certificate +1 (natural);
You gain the abilities "Giant Body" and "Ask Nature."
Giant Body: You can make your body three times larger and increase its mass to twenty-seven times its original size.
In the giant state, you will enjoy attribute bonuses and reductions consistent with your size.
Duration: twenty minutes.
Cooling time: seven days.
…
Ask Nature: You can briefly become a part of nature and gain information about the surrounding terrain.
When in the wild, this spell allows you to understand the conditions of the land within 3 miles.
In caves and other natural underground places, its range is reduced to a 200-meter radius.
Spells cannot take effect in areas covered by buildings in the natural environment (such as dungeons or towns).
Specifically, you can get several items of information from the following aspects -
-
Topography and river direction;-
Plants, minerals, animals or people distributed in the area;-
Celestial creatures, fey creatures, demons, elemental creatures or undead creatures in the area;-
Areas bordering other planes, such as entrances to the Shadow Plane;
-
The history of the iconic building;-
other;
Note: The effect of Asking Nature is highly related to the user’s “nature affinity”;
In addition, if you use it frequently in a short period of time, nature may become bored with you."
…
It is indeed a reward for becoming a veteran!
Intellectual attributes are extremely valuable to Matthew.
The two abilities "Giant Body" and "Asking Nature" also have their own merits.
The huge body not only brings advantages in battle, but also takes advantage when performing certain specific actions.
Asking about nature puts Matthew's super high nature affinity to greater use.
Every time he went to a place that was not in the city, he could get a lot of extra information.
This is very helpful for field operations.
Especially during war.
Asking questions can naturally save people some of the work of scouting.
the most important is.
This ability is difficult to counter.
Matthew tried "Asking Nature" on the spot.
The result is the next second.
He was stunned by the dense information in front of him.
…
"Ask about nature: You have obtained natural information within a radius of 3 miles——
1. Oak Forest (Planted by "Oak Friend" Matthew himself...)
2. Old Lady River (a river with a long history...)
3. Undead/Celestial Creature "Peggy" (Tauren Skeleton/formerly the Celestial Minotaur War Angel, who once served the Sun God Gerald...)"
…
"Paige was formerly a Battle Angel?"
"Are you still serving the Sun God?"
"That senior time traveler whose body can create ruins on the clouds?"
Before Matthew could react.
His eyes suddenly noticed a dazzling option in the corner.
…
"106. The honest-looking field mouse (the familiar of the warlock Thomas, who is monitoring the surrounding situation at the edge of the forest)"
