Compared with the wizarding world, the Zambis Empire is obviously still in a primitive and confused state when it comes to the development of resources in this plane. This has resulted in most of the plane being primitive forests or wilderness areas that have not been deeply cultivated, and human activities are limited to
The place is still surrounded by many dangerous creatures.
The Dark Forest located on the western border of the empire is such an area.
There are many primitive creatures and terrifying monsters inside the dark forest. They gather there and multiply, forming a unique and exclusive extraterrestrial world. This is also a severe problem that most plane worlds have to face.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest!
Powerful monsters have become the actual rulers of most areas with their strong physiques and ferocious fighting styles. They fight independently, either in families, tribes, or alone, occupying the most important areas of minerals and plants on the plane continent.
A fertile area.
Compared with them, intelligent races like humans have almost no competitiveness.
At the beginning of their birth, human beings did not have powerful bodies, natural magical talents, or sharp teeth and claws, so they could only huddle together for warmth and struggle to survive among many wild ancient beasts and ferocious monsters.
If it weren't for human beings' outstanding learning and creative abilities, the ability to use monsters as teachers, learn some powerful and strange abilities from them, and pass them on and strengthen them from generation to generation, it would be almost impossible for humans to become the masters of the plane!
The first batch of wizards in the wizarding world were ancient humans who obtained some strange and eccentric abilities by simulating the natural magic patterns on powerful monsters. Then, through thousands of years of continuous accumulation, improvement and strengthening, they have just formed a new generation of wizards.
An effective wizard training system.
It was thanks to the wizards who stood out from the human race that the humans in the wizarding world finally defeated all kinds of powerful monsters and became the largest race there. However, as the wizard group became increasingly powerful, they have gradually grown into a
A new 'race' that is completely different from ordinary humans!
The development paths of the planes are very similar!
The plane of Enverk is obviously on the same development path as the wizarding world, except that the power system it has evolved is a kind of holy light worship similar to the belief in gods.
Most Enver humans believe in and worship the Holy Light, thereby elevating a lifeless and unconscious natural phenomenon to the altar. Faith is also a kind of power!
It is the continuous belief of tens of millions of Enverk people that turns the Holy Light into an unparalleled force. At least, in the Enverk plane, this power has been embedded in the laws of the plane.
, has become an important pillar supporting the development and growth of plane consciousness.
With the blessing of plane consciousness, this power of holy light in turn pushes the devout believers who believe in it to the pinnacle of plane power.
As long as the Enverk plane continues on its current path, after thousands of years, one of the successive Level 4 holy knights will eventually break through the shackles of the plane's power and become the Level 5 who creates the history of the plane.
And at the moment of breakthrough, he will naturally become the first powerful god in the Enverk plane with the Holy Light as its origin. At that time, the Enverk plane will initially take a firm stand in the multiverse.
The heel has the foundation to expand and develop outward!
But unfortunately, before the plane of Enverk gave birth to its own patron saint, the deceitful witches discovered it, broke in, and then built a witch tower in a place called Dabire Heights.
From that moment on, the Enverk plane was in the countdown stage before being enslaved!
It can be said that without the desperate fight of the holy knight Ad Kale, who destroyed the inter-dimensional teleportation array in the witch tower, according to the invasion process of the deceitful witches, the Enver plane would have struggled for at most four to five years.
In ten years, it will become a meal for deceitful witches and become a secondary plane under their rule.
But now, as the situation changes, the Paladin side seems to have gained a certain advantage, and has the opportunity to catch all the deceitful witches and drive the evil wizard forces out of the Enverk plane.
Therefore, when there were signs of witch activity in the western part of the empire, the local Holy Light Chapel immediately mobilized all its personnel to carry out an encirclement and suppression campaign, and successfully trapped the witch in the dark forest.
However, the witch's witchcraft ability is so strange that she can transform herself into any biological form, gain their trust, and transform it into her own guardian beast.
A level 2 silver knight accidentally fell into the trap and was abducted by him to betray the Holy Light and become a veritable dark knight. Under the protection of this dark knight, the witch successfully escaped into the dark forest.
, hiding here from the pursuit of the Paladins.
As time went by, two level 3 gold knights appeared in the team of paladins gathered outside the dark forest, and there were as many as 21 level 2 silver knights. But the guy they were hunting was just one
An ordinary level 2 witch.
…………
In a dark and humid forest, Devin was searching carefully.
In order to facilitate fighting and movement, he took off his heavy metal armor and wore only a silver chain armor, wrapped in a thick, airtight cloak. The big sword he usually used was also replaced by a thin one.
A stabbing sword and a small buckler made of matte steel, this is all the equipment he has.
The dark forest lives up to its name. The straight and tall ancient trees have opened up huge canopies, blocking most of the light projected from the sky, making the forest deep and dark. Even in the daytime, the forest is dark.
It is almost impossible to see the light of day.
And in such a claustrophobic environment, indescribable terrifying demonic plants grow and multiply.
They are mixed with ordinary green plants. It is difficult for a knowledgeable or experienced hunter to identify them. And once ordinary people approach them unprepared, they will be dragged into a field full of activated thorns by the surging vines.
The thorny demon plant is pierced into the body by sharp wooden thorns or branches from the inside, and then sucks out the flesh and blood all over the body and dies.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Devon, as a second-level silver knight, did not give himself any holy light protection. Instead, he relied on his sharp reactions and the wind-fast sword to clean up the monsters and monsters that arbitrarily attacked him.
strain.
The holy light mastered by the Paladins is good at blessing, good at healing, and good at purification, but it is not good at detection and search. Therefore, in this dark forest, what Devin needs to rely on more is his own sword power, rather than that.
The holy light is too dazzling.
There is silence in the dark forest.
The monsters and beasts living in this forest need to learn to be quiet as long as they have not grown to an unrivaled level. They complete the entire process of hunting, hunting, reproduction and resting in silence, even before death.
At the last moment, try to stay as quiet as possible.
Sound will bring them enemies, as will too dazzling holy light.
The first few groups of Paladins who entered the Dark Forest to search were not small in size, and were led by high-level Paladins, but they all ended up with heavy losses because of their excessive fanfare. The beasts and monsters lurking throughout the Dark Forest seemed to
They are extremely repulsive to outsiders and are easily attracted by the sound and light produced by the team, thus launching covert attacks on the Paladins.
In the final analysis, the Paladins are just a group of human warriors enhanced by the Holy Light.
If fighting in the plains, with their enhanced strength and physique, they can easily crush monsters of the same level. However, in the dark forest where they can't see their fingers, the combat power of the Paladins will be greatly reduced.
The long journey through the jungle and through the forest and streams made it impossible for them to wear thick and dense metal armor, and they were unable to resist sudden venom attacks from dead leaves or vines. The unripe shrubs and cobweb-like vines and thorns made them unable to resist.
The one-handed broadsword he was accustomed to could not be wielded at all, and the thin stabbing sword or dagger he had switched to was unable to successfully cut off the neck bones of powerful monsters.
Therefore, several paladin teams that went deep into the dark forest all failed and lost many black iron knights.
Therefore, the two golden knights had no choice but to disperse the many silver knights into the forest, carefully searching for the whereabouts of the evil witch and the defecting knight. As long as their traces were discovered, they would be reported back to the camp in time.
The two golden knights can lead a large number of paladins to rush forward and end the manhunt at the minimum cost.
Night falls.
As the skylight dims, the dark forest becomes increasingly deep and unpredictable.
Devin stepped on the slightly slippery and sticky soil and wandered quietly deep in the forest.
Every time he sets foot, he is very particular about the place he sets his feet. It is either the soil where berries are exposed or the piles of rotten leaves. He almost never sets foot on places that are densely covered with thorns and twigs.
On the one hand, there is probably a trap disguised by the demonic plant. On the other hand, if you step on the dead branches, it will easily make unnecessary noise, thus attracting the attention of those dark creatures.
In addition to paying attention to his feet, Devin also kept scanning the green vines hanging from the tall ancient trees. Many of them were disguised as blood-sucking vines. There were also many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects such as leeches.
Lying on the vines, when someone passes below, they can cling to the other person's body silently.
Therefore, Devin moved forward cautiously while quickly waving the thin stabbing sword in his hand.
Under the swift sword wind, blood-sucking vines were cut off one by one, and the smelly purple-black blood was splashed all over the sky. The heads of spotted snakes and wire snakes were cut off, and Xin's long and powerful body twisted crazily.
It was twitching and messing up the surrounding area.
But at this moment, Devin suddenly stopped, raised his nose and sniffed gently.
The humid air in the forest with a strong stale musty smell was vaguely mixed with a hint of women's body fragrance, and there was also the strange sound of rushing water.
Devin narrowed his eyes and slowly followed the past with bated breath. (To be continued)
