Since becoming the "Crucible Wizard", Tang Qi has never felt the cold again.

On the mysterious side, those monsters that can freeze people's bodies, or ghosts that freeze souls, will be burned by that golden flame, and they will all turn into nothingness.

But now, the feeling of being lost for a long time has hit, and it is even more terrifying.

Tang Qi could clearly feel that as the "black shadow" approached, his thinking became sluggish because of it.

Rumble!

Without hesitation, the magic power in his body, which was much stronger than before entering the "Forest of Ignorance", poured out like a tide.

Sure enough, in Tang Qi's perception, some intangible things seemed to be burned clean.

Normal feelings, instead of coldness.

But soon, a new sense of weirdness emerged.

In front of him, in the last second, the strange black shadow was still in the distance, slowly walking towards Tang Qi.

After Tang Qi blinked, he suddenly found that it appeared in front of him.

A few steps away, in front of the dead tree, stood a terrifying deer.

It had a muscular, lean body, with four thick hooves and stomping on cold gravel, but from the neck the flesh was gone, replaced by a human vertebrae, and slender red nerves drooping down.

The vertebrae are connected to the upper body of a human being, the skin is white, clinging to the bones, a pair of arms are naturally crossed, and the top of its head is a pair of crossed, extended, majestic antlers.

Its face?

No, it didn't have a face, it seemed to be a bone mask, and in the center, there was a vertical pupil slowly opening.

Tang Qi was about to look at him, when suddenly his heart suddenly froze, and a strong premonition of danger burst open.

Subconsciously, he wanted to close his eyes or look elsewhere, and in an instant, he remembered Amanda in his arms, she had woken up.

Tang Qi secretly said "not good", and was about to warn, or directly use the "Body Control Charm" to seize control of Amanda's body to prevent her from getting involved in unknown dangers.

Amanda's frightened, worried voice was also heard at this time.

"Quick, close your eyes!"

"Back to the forest. ”

Without hesitation, Don Qi followed Amanda's advice.

Although he has the message that Ralph left behind, Ralph's message is too outdated compared to Amanda, the native of the world.

To be exact, if you really follow the "clearance method" left by Ralph, you would have died in Pig's territory.

Ralph entered this world for the first time, and although he encountered some dangers, it was all the kind of small fights that could not threaten his life.

And the rest of what happened to him was fantastic.

If it is written as a book, it can definitely be included in the category of "children's books".

It didn't take much effort, Tang Qi just jumped back slightly, and the feeling of softness came from his feet again, and after the familiar smell of the furnace magic burning fuel penetrated into his nose, Tang Qi turned around and reopened his eyes.

Ahead, embers, dust, and black smoke drifted away.

In his arms, Amanda also opened her eyes at this time.

For the first time, Tang Qi saw a look of horror in her eyes, she had not changed her face when she faced the mad fairy and the long-haired demon before.

Obviously, the deer that came out of the "Dark Plains" was even more terrifying than both.

"What's that?"

Due to the speed of time, Tang Qi's special ability was not able to capture enough fragments of information to directly interrogate Amanda, who was obviously aware.

After a "sweet dream sleep", the girl's spirit was significantly better.

The lost vitality seems to have recovered somewhat.

Only that bloody leg still needs time, so she didn't forcibly hold it out of Tang Qi's arms this time.

She forced her gaze to look at the Dark Plains, exhaled, and then spoke, spitting out a name:

"The deer of the food, that's a ...... Eater Deer!"

The three strange words came out of her mouth, and it seemed to bring a lot of bad memories.

A look of sadness appeared on her face.

Amanda didn't go on to explain the deer, but told some stories first.

"When the world first began to fall, there were not many beings like me, Tyran, and Mura, and even more than fallen creatures, and then we realized that something was wrong and wanted to re-enter the town of Deborah to save our mother and save the world. ”

"But at that time, the volcanoes of doom, the plains of darkness, the forests of obscurantism...... These places have appeared, they have squeezed all the nodes off the top of the mountain, and the monsters in each place seem to restrain us, and after several adventures, we have failed. ”

"Although after death, we will be reborn, but with each death, not only will the memories be emptied, but also the power to resist pollution will be reduced. ”

"When we came up, at least half of the monsters we encountered were our companions a long time ago. ”

"Actually, before you arrived, one of us barely re-entered the town of Deborah...... But in the end, Grandpa Merlin was rejected by his mother, and everything we know about the Obscurantist Forest and the Dark Plains is actually passed on to us by Grandpa Merlin. ”

"Before him, none of us could break into the territory of the living corpses. ”

Speaking of which, Amanda paused.

Glancing at the isolated Dark Plains, he continued: "Grandpa Merlin told us that there may be some tricks to deal with the ignorant living corpses, but to break through the Dark Plains, we can't use any skills, and even because of the use of skills, we will attract more terrible things. ”

"The deer, or some other monster, they are neither living beings nor ghosts, they are something called a 'desire embodiment'. ”

Amanda, as if immersed in the memories, was relaying the information she had received from the mouth of a wise man to Tang Qi in its entirety.

"No one knows how vast the Dark Plains is, only that there is the strangest and most terrifying weather inside, storms, lightning, ice and snow...... It may be possible to switch between seconds, and in this extremely hostile environment, some terrible desires will manifest. ”

"They are not afraid of any attack, physical or magical, they do not seem to be able to think like humans, but they are extremely cunning, and they will not engage in a fair duel with an intruder unless it is confirmed that the intruder is extremely weak. ”

"Most of the time, they just sneak attack. ”

"Once you are deceived by the embodiment of desire, no matter how powerful the being, will sink in the darkness. ”

Complicated yet vague information spits out of Amanda's mouth.

Her paraphrase sounds like a lot, but it doesn't involve much substance.

In addition to the name "Merlin", Tang Qi's eyebrows jumped.

Although the world is completely different, we can speculate from the previous encounters on the giant mountain, and sometimes the name can also represent something.

"Merlin is the most powerful and intelligent of unpolluted creatures like Amanda. ”

He made it through all the levels, but was denied. ”

"The Dark Plains, the monster called the 'Deer of Food,' is a manifestation of desire, it is not afraid of physical or psychic attacks, it is neither a life nor a soul...... In other words, it is very likely that none of my methods will work, and even if it is a judgment, it must have a soul before it can be. ”

"Tricks will attract even more terrifying monsters...... Meaning, instead of protecting Amanda and me from passing, my use of Diana will lead to even more terrible desires?"

Tang Qi's mind, these thoughts flashed.

He frowned, looked at Amanda, and asked, "The deer of food, the desire represented is appetite?"

"No, or not exactly. ”

"Grandpa Merlin said that desires are all complex, the embodiment of the dark plains, there is rarely a single desire, they are always entangled, and there is only one way to get through there. ”

Amanda shook her head, immediately rejecting Donkey's conjecture.

Without waiting for him to continue asking, Amanda revealed the answer:

"Only those who hold on to their beliefs can look directly at the desires in the darkness. ”

Hearing this sonorous and powerful sentence, Tang Qi was silent.

This kind of aphorism really sounds like what the old people use to fool the young and middle school fools in those children's books.

Just as Tang Qi was complaining, Amanda suddenly remembered something and continued: "By the way, Grandpa Merlin also said that if we can kill a desire embodiment, it will drop some treasures, which can increase our chances of passing the Doomsday Volcano. ”

"Kill monsters and drop treasure...... Next level...... It's more like a warrior game that fools the second youth. ”

Tang Qi suddenly felt very tricky, this should be the first time he felt that all the powers he possessed seemed to be unable to work.

If that "Merlin" is not lying, it means that the monster that is called "the embodiment of desire" all over the dark plains has almost all transcendentals.

If it were any other time, Tang Qi might not believe it.

But just now, he had seen the "Eating Deer" with his own eyes, and the weird and cold taste did give Tang Qi a feeling of extreme danger.

The most important thing is that, according to Merlin, the deer is not the most terrible "desire" in the Dark Plains.

Taking a breath, Tang Qi thought of something, looked directly at Amanda, and asked without hesitation.

"Where did Merlin go after she was rejected?"

Tang Qi's abrupt question made Amanda fall silent suddenly.

The color of sadness is getting more and more intense.

He didn't ask, just waited quietly, although from Amanda's reaction, Tang Qi had already guessed something.

Half-ringing, Amanda calmed down.

She raised her head, looked at Tang Qi with an unprecedented trusting gaze, and then said:

"Grandpa Merlin, after he was rejected by his mother, passed all the information to us and ...... He jumped into Mount Doom, and that night we heard a terrible roar and saw the shadow of terror reflected from the volcano. ”

Taryn said, Grandpa Merlin...... Depraved!"
