"It's hard for me to explain this to you. The chess piece of life is a special item. The Ice Bear Abyss paused for a few seconds and pondered, "You Eastern Continent have so-called magic items, and the chess of life is a bit similar. ”

"You mean magical lifeforms made through alchemy?" Catherine was a little surprised, the difficulty of creating magical life is not small.

"The words you say are not easy to understand, I can probably understand the magical lifeforms, but what does alchemy mean?" After all, the Ice Bear Abyss is not from the Eastern Continent, although he can speak the lingua franca of the Eastern Continent, but it is impossible to understand all the magic systems that are only popular in the Eastern Continent.

Catherine explained the meaning of alchemy in general.

The Ice Bear Abyss suddenly realized. "It turned out to be a spell used by sorcerers to make spell items out of witchcraft. However, the chess piece of life is not made by alchemy, it is an item I made in the anchor world, and it can only be used in the ultimate realm. I don't dare to say whether the chess piece of life has a life, but it seems to have something like a soul, so it will recognize you and communicate with you. ”

"Like a soothsayer?"

"Yes. That soothsayer may represent the will of life. The Ice Bear Abyss pointed ahead, "Look, the Crow Forest has appeared." ”

Catherine hurriedly looked, and sure enough, a black and oppressive forest appeared on the horizon. Countless crows were hovering over the forest, like a huge dark cloud. The crows crowed incessantly, and the sound came intermittently.

As the two got closer, the crow's crow became continuous, noisy and annoying. The sky grew dark, and a dark cloud of crows obscured it.

The trees of the Raven Forest were tall and dense, and standing outside the forest, Catherine remembered the Doden Mountains far away on the eastern continent. The depths of the Doden Mountains also have this kind of tall and dense forest, but the trees in the Raven Forest look older and thicker, and have a very gloomy atmosphere.

"This place looks dangerous. Catherine looked at the dense forest of the black hole and sighed, "If I were the only one, I would never choose to go in." ”

"Without Ziggy, I wouldn't have rushed in. The Ice Bear Abyss whipped his whip, and Zieg slowly approached the forest.

The chewing sound of "click, click, click" sounded, and Ziegy couldn't wait to eat it. Five minutes later, a large tree that could only be hugged by two people slowly toppled down.

It stands to reason that Ziggy's speed is not slow, but Catherine shook her head and said, "I really don't know how long it will take to eat a way out of it." I don't have that much time. ”

"If it's a normal open-circuit speed, even with a few zigs, it will take at least a few months to get into the depths of the Raven Forest. "But the place we're going to is a mysterious place in the Raven Forest, and what you've heard from the soothsayer points me in the way." ”

Catherine suddenly realized, the Ice Bear Abyss obviously knew the special way to enter the Raven Forest. As the owner of the world of the chess game of life, the old barbarian must know this place very well.

"I have a question that you don't necessarily need to answer, if it's inconvenient. Catherine recognises this and will not waste her chance.

"Just ask. There was a hint of a smile in the weather-beaten eyes of the Ice Bear Abyss, as if he had seen through Catherine's mind and knew what the sorceress was going to ask.

"Is the method you are using now to enter the mystery of the Crow Forest the same as the method of entering the mystery of the Crow Forest in the real world?" Catherine's question actually involves the mapping between the world of the chess game of life and the real world, and the mystery of the ice bear abyss to create the chess game of life.

"Not exactly. But the Ice Bear Abyss didn't mind revealing a little, "The foundation of the world we're in now comes from my memories. My memory may be wrong, but after the chess piece of life has a soul, it can also arrange the order and style of this world according to its own will, so it is difficult to guarantee that it is exactly the same as the Raven Forest in the real world. And I think it's much more likely to be different than the same. Memory is inaccurate, and the longer I live, the more I understand that. ”

The Ice Bear Abyss showed a wry smile and sadness, and it seemed that it had had a not very good experience.

Ziggy was still chewing on the overturned thick tree, and behind it there was already excrement—black balls, each the size of a human head.

"This manure is very good fuel to put it together. The Ice Bear Abyss motioned for Catherine to come and help.

Catherine followed the Ice Bear Abyss and quickly placed a chain of spheres several meters long at the edge of the forest. According to the requirements of the Ice Bear Abyss, these dung balls should be as close to each other as possible, and there should be enough contact area with the trees in the forest. Catherine suddenly understood what the old barbarian was trying to do.

Sure enough, the Ice Bear Abyss flicked his short whip, drove Ziggy aside, and said to Catherine, "As a magician, it's up to you to set this forest on fire." ”

"Can magic be used here?" said Catherine.

"If you think you can use it, then you can use magic. The Ice Bear Abyss patted a large tree beside him, "Since trees can exist, of course flames can also exist." One of the basic laws of the spiritual world is the embodiment of thought. The world of the chess game of life was created by my perception of the spiritual world, so the most basic rules are also the same. ”

"This law applies to any spirit world?" Catherine suddenly remembered that she seemed to be able to use magic in the spirit world of the Silver Dragon King.

"I rarely enter other people's spirits, and I don't have the opportunity to experiment. Ice Bear Abyss's answer was quite frank, "But I believe that in order to achieve complete concretization of thinking in other people's soul worlds, it must take skill, after all, the rules in there are not made by outsiders, of course, some basic rules must be the same." ”

Catherine was amazed. "Fireball. She stretched out her hand and chanted softly, but nothing appeared in her palm. However, the female mage was not discouraged, and stared intently at her palm. As the flames grew stronger, a faint glow finally appeared in her palm. This dim light gradually brightened and grew larger, turning into a fingertip-sized flame. Countless small bright spots flew in from all directions around the flames, expanding the fireworks, and in a moment a dark red fireball floated above Catherine's palm.

"Very good, you understand very quickly. The Ice Bear Abyss nodded, "Come on, set this forest on fire." ”

Catherine raised her hand and threw the fireball at Ziggy's dung ball, and with a "boom", the fire burst into flames and spread into a sea of fire at a rapid speed. A huge flame burst into the sky, scattering the crows in the sky.

Countless crows came from all over the forest and gathered around the sea of fire, making a deafening cry. The crows formed pitch-black clouds and slammed into the flames. With each "dark cloud" that disappeared, the flames weakened and dimmed a little, but then rose again. Such an endless sea of forests burned and it was impossible to extinguish it at all.

Catherine was so shocked by the sight of the crows' demise that she even shuddered unconsciously. 1.
