The silver moon hangs high in the starry sky, and the strange and cold bright moonlight fills the entire sea of black forest trees.
The dead forest was soaked in the watery moonlight, giving it a strange tranquility.
Boom..Boom..
Boom..Boom..
Hero woke up very tired. After a whole night of fierce fighting, he couldn't help but fall asleep. The scorpion's wide back was so comfortable to sleep on, and there was no need to worry about rolling down when he turned over.
Boom...boom...
Holo was awakened by such dull drumbeats.
Suddenly, in the darkness deep in the distant forest, the drum beat began to speed up, like a heavy drum, dong dong dong dong… rolling darkly and rapidly from the forest, like an approaching heavy rain.
He opened his eyes, and just as he adjusted to the bright moonlight above his head, a dark shadow fell on him.
Just as Hero was about to scream, his mouth was covered.
He opened his frightened eyes, and became even more nervous after seeing clearly that the person pressing him was Mena.
'How insidious! You waited for him to fall asleep and wanted to pounce on him and kill him?'
"Woooooo! What...are you going to do?"
Hero's mouth was covered hard by Mena, making a muffled sound.
Only a few centimeters away from his eyelashes were Mena's bright yellow pupils, like a blooming sunflower.
blush...
"What on earth are you going to do?!"
When Hero was struggling, Mena's cold and slender fingers had already reached into his broken raincoat and touched Hero's neck.
He struggled hard and tried to get up, but was pinned down by Mena and couldn't move.
Mena said softly but seriously in Hero's ear:
"Shut up! Don't make a sound!"
"Damn you!"
Helo couldn't help but started to curse, saying not to move while holding his neck down.
Damn you! Why don’t you resist when you’re being killed?
"Shut up! If you continue to struggle, we will both die here!"
Mena looked a little ferocious and kept cursing in Hero's ear.
And Hero, who had calmed down, also discovered that Mena's hand that reached into the tattered raincoat did not strangle his neck, but pressed it on his chest to restrain his tumbling body.
"What's going on! Is it that drum sound just now?!"
After coming back to his senses, Hero felt like he had found the key to the problem.
Mena turned over and pushed Hero off the scorpion's back. Regardless of whether Hero would be injured again if he fell from a height, he slid down immediately.
He picked up the whole princess, Holo. Fortunately, Holo was not yet an adult, so it was easy to move. He carefully hid the two figures behind a huge rock and put them down.
The two-tailed scorpion, which had long been trembling and no longer ferocious and majestic, entered the twisted and illusory space at Mena's beckoning hand.
After looking at Hero, who was pretending to be well-behaved in front of him, he sat down with his back against the rock and closed his eyes, but his heartbeat was getting faster and faster. He kept adjusting his breathing to let his
The heartbeat slows down.
The dense drumbeats in the distance became louder and heavier, and there was a constant "click-click" sound of trees being broken.
Gradually approaching...
Holo didn't know what was approaching in the darkness, but the fear that was rolling crazily in his heart and the soul energy in his blood were constantly being aroused by those drums.
He could only close his eyes and suppress his soul energy with all his strength. Fortunately, all his soul energy now was obtained through decomposition modules and purified through the system. Whether it was purity or control, it was extremely powerful.
"Hide soul energy...don't be discovered..."
Hero could barely hear Mena's mumbling.
If Mena knew that he now had soul energy, would his mentality collapse...
The explosive and dense drum sound was already close to my ears, and the huge blunt sound was like a huge hammer hitting my chest.
Looking down from a high altitude, one can see that in the now dense black forest, countless towering trees are strangely collapsing along the road, as if a huge snake is swimming through the tall sage grass, leaving traces of grass where the snake walks.
As the drum beat approached, Hero could hear bursts of sound in the starry sky above his head, similar to the "boom...boom..." sound of a turbine. It sounded like sharp metals cutting each other, and there was a kind of sound in the sound.
Strange power.
Whenever the sound sounded, a transparent ripple suddenly opened up in the surrounding space. When the ripple rippled to the side, the soul energy that Helo could suppress boiled. At this moment, it was like tearing apart a prison and rushing out.
Mena next to him was leaning on the rock, his eyes were distracted, and scarlet blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth. Even the silver robe that was not stained by the heavy rain was now soaked in blood.
Even his body twitched slightly from time to time.
Getting closer...
Hero's handsome face was as horribly distorted as Mena's at the moment...
It was right above their heads. It was so close that it not only affected the soul energy.
Every inch of skin, blood in every blood vessel, and even the shreds of flesh attached to the Helo module system were boiling like boiling water as a result of this eerie roar.
At this moment, Mena's soul energy has lost control. They are running around and running rampant according to the winding path of the soul circuit. It seems that they can no longer resist the roar, trying to pierce the skin and escape from the body.
Even Hero, who has no soul-sensing skills, can clearly feel at this moment that Mena is like a volcano on the verge of erupting!
The moonlight, as dark as a lake, was blocked at this time.
It was as if Holo had returned to his previous life and was even more panicked than when he was watching a total solar eclipse.
...
Wait until that unknown thing has gone away.
Hero saw it clearly.
The dark shell reflected the bright moonlight, and he could not see the end of the huge body, with countless tower-like floors standing on it, but he could only see clearly a turbine-like device on the back.
In the middle is a huge rotating millstone that serves as a support for the upper and lower sections.
The lower section is composed of countless black pillars, covered with sharp burrs, moving in an interlaced manner, and the whole body is twisting and moving forward as the disc rotates...
Every time he moved, he hit the ground with more than a thousand kilograms, and there was a loud sound like a huge drum beating in the entire black forest...
"Why is he here?"
Mena vomited a ball of blood, and his eyes finally lost their luster under the bright moonlight, and he became gloomy.
The silver robe on the chest was hung with a desolate blood stain that gradually solidified.
"what is that?"
Hero asked pretending to be weak. He was not as embarrassed as Mena, but just felt a little uncomfortable.
But if he doesn't pretend, he always feels a little weird.
"It was a mistake. In order to keep the itinerary secret and complete the empire's instructions, I deliberately went a certain distance into the Black Forest before setting the anchor point of the [Gate]. I never expected to encounter such a thing here!
It was made by the first grand duke-level magician in the [War Tower]. During the Great Crusade, the supernatural soul beast [Whirlpool]..."
"Are you sure? Is it a soul beast? Or a soul beast with an owner! A grand duke-level magician is so powerful!"
Hearing Hero's doubts, Mena turned his head and looked at him like he was an idiot...
