After the insect swarm cleared out all the fallen demons in this underground square, Xue Hua left with two small mercenaries.
When leaving, he noticed that the pair of golden boots had been identified and were currently being worn on the feet of his sister Fenia.
Seeing her master's eyes moving towards her boots, the little girl immediately blushed.
"Well...my sister said nothing and just put it on my feet...she even tickled me~~"
Hearing Funia's complaining tone and Anne's angry expression glaring at her sister, Xue Hua couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.
It's rare for twins to have such a good relationship between sisters~
This also has something to do with their families.
The two little girls have grown up with their mother, Ms. Virginia, and have never met their father.
And Ms. Virginia is a Rogge mercenary and is away from home all year round. Therefore, except for Kasha and other Rogges who occasionally visit them, the two little girls have always taken care of each other.
This is how my sister Funia's good cooking skills and my sister Anne's careful character were developed.
"Okay, didn't we just sweep out a lot of miscellaneous things? You two go get some blue equipment and put them on to deal with them first. There will be a lot of good stuff in the future!"
Xue Hua patted the little heads of the two girls and let a cockroach crawl over carrying the loot just now.
At his urging, the two girls held up torches and carefully selected, selected a few blue outfits with suitable attributes, put them on, and took some mana potions and the like.
Seeing that they had finished picking, Xue Hua walked forward and rummaged around for a while, then curled his lips and took two bottles of blue medicine and physical potion, and piled the others directly on the wall of the underground passage, just like
Give some benefits to those who come later.
After handling the loot, Xue Hua took the two girls and the insect swarm and continued on the road. Originally, he was planning to send the teleportation scroll back directly, and then transfer it directly to the dark forest through the small station.
But Tunam's pioneer insect swarm soon discovered another hole in the underground passage.
And judging from the information fed back by the explored springtails, it should be the exit leading to the dark forest.
Now that the exit has been found, there is no need to waste the return scroll. Xue Hua quickly led the insect swarm out of the underground passage.
...
The dark forest is a sparse forest in the game. The forest is so dense that it is barely enough to even be considered a "forest", let alone a forest.
But in reality, the dark forest is a truly uncompromising large-leaf forest of broad-leaved trees.
Moreover, the vegetation coverage is quite dense, and the types of trees are completely unknown, with black trunks, black branches, and black broad leaves.
Even the veins on the leaves are red and black.
The spreading leaves of the dense broadleaf forest cover the sky of the dark forest, and these black trees make this place look particularly scary and eerie.
It is said that the dark forest was not like this in the past. It was once one of the best hunting grounds and sources of wood in the Khanduras region.
That underground passage was actually dug out slowly by lumberjacks and hunters through the hard work of generations.
After the invasion of hell, most of the animals in the forest died, and the ones that survived mutated into demons.
Those black trees were originally normal broad-leaved pine trees, but they were infected by the power of hell, and some of them died, while the other part became what they are now.
It is said that these black trees live by sucking blood and decomposing corpses buried under the thick layer of humus in the dark forest, so they can grow so tall in the Khanduras area where there is no sunshine all day long.
In this forest that has been completely corrupted by the power of hell, there is only one tree that has not been corrupted. That tree is the legendary sacred tree, the prophecy tree-Anivers.
The bark of this tree records the secret of how to open the portal to Tristram at the five stone pillars in the Stone Wilderness. Of course, this bark scroll has already been mastered by the Rogge camp, but due to Tristram
The demonic power inside Stream is too powerful, so even though we have the key, we really can't save people.
When he was in the stone wilderness, Xue Hua also saw the five stone pillars. Each stone pillar had a strange rune deeply imprinted on it. The whole stone pillar exuded a strange smell, but he didn't know when it was built.
, whose hand.
Isa had warned him that there were traces of ultra-high-strength psychic energy left between the stone pillars, and the current insect swarm was simply unable to deal with them.
And Xue Hua, who learned from Akara what was in Tristram, would certainly not commit suicide.
Therefore, he also lacked interest in the so-called "sacred tree" and planned to rush all the way to the black wasteland without making any stops in between.
Since he has come out of the mountain tunnel, the king insect's reconnaissance ability has taken effect again. The long-lost God's perspective allowed Xue Hua to finally find a sense of security.
He was a little excited and controlled the perspective of a supervisory king insect to scan around the dark forest, and then he saw the so-called "sacred tree" at a glance.
This is not to say that his eyes are sharp, but that the sacred tree is too obvious.
The huge trunk that is three times thicker and half as high as other trees, the bark that exudes a hazy moon-white light in the dark, and the branches with almost no leaves, all make this tree very eye-catching, and you can't help but notice it.
All difficult.
Later, Xue Hua aimed the monitoring king insect's vision at the area around the sacred tree.
Then he saw dozens of huge black figures and a dark golden figure leading them.
——Shu Tou Mu Fist, the demon guard of the sacred tree.
This is a dark gold leader-level "beast" with dual attributes of "especially strong" and "especially fast".
The beast is an evolutionary variant of the giant beast, just like the relationship between the Blade Demon and the Sinking Demon.
In the game, when players come to get the bark of the sacred tree, they will be attacked by this guy. For newcomers, this dark gold monster is very, very unfriendly.
Because it not only moves very fast, but also has extremely high attack power. In addition, the destructive power of the "beast" species template itself cannot be underestimated. Generally, if a novice is hit by him, most of his health will be lost.
In reality, this guy is just scarier than he appears in the game.
It has many more minions than in the game (and will also receive increased speed and attack power), and is even more terrifyingly powerful than in the game.
You know, there is no such thing as a "health bar" for professionals in the real world. If you were punched head-on by this giant monster nearly four meters tall, you would probably lose half of your health.
But his life is gone.
Even barbarians and paladins who are as high as level 20 will not fight head-on with Shutou Muquan's fist. That is definitely not a joke.
After observing for a while, Xue Hua withdrew his gaze from the group of gorillas and prepared to set up camp on the spot and take a good rest before continuing on the road tomorrow.
He was not interested in Agnivers, so he naturally had no intention of provoking the Tree Fists. He just had to bypass that area and not encounter them.
The two insect mothers, Tunam and Zaratusa, led the insect swarm to sweep around the area designated by Xue Hua. Except for killing a small group of "spiked demons" and a few lone beasts, there was no one left.
Encountering other monsters.
The King Insect's investigation also showed that this area is relatively safe. Perhaps it is not far from the exit of the underground passage, and the monsters instinctively feel that they are vulnerable to attacks by professionals here.
As for the Spike Demon…
The name of this thing is quite domineering.
But in fact, it is a purple wire-haired mouse. Just like the relationship between animals and giant beasts, it is also an evolved version of the wire-haired mouse.
After clearing out the camping area, the two girls got to work.
Those who light a fire make a fire, and those who pitch a tent pitch a tent.
Anne also sprinkled some homemade powder around the tent. She said that their mother, Ms. Virginia, had taught them to make a special insect repellent powder that could drive away some poisonous bugs.
These little bugs are not monsters, but poisonous bugs infected by the energy of hell. Their venom has mutated and has a slight effect on professionals.
Although the effect is minimal, getting bitten can be quite annoying.
Xue Hua watched the two girls busying themselves, a comfortable expression gradually appeared on their faces.
How many times had he huddled alone in a cold tent, accompanied only by the same lonely campfire and the cold swarm of insects.
Although there is no need to worry about safety issues, loneliness has become his biggest enemy.
During the period of searching for the burial ground.
The loneliness almost completely overwhelmed his nerves and drove him crazy.
but now.
No need to worry about all this.
He finally has someone he can protect.
Finally he had a bonfire that could bring him warmth and comfort.
(Tomorrow I will probably have to use Lao Mao’s precious archives again...ah...I’m really going to die...)
