The Bena Dark Forest is one of the largest uninhabited areas on the entire continent. If this is just a swampy forest, there are many countries that covet it. But if it weren't for a creature in the human world, then there was actually a master here. That was the Tiger King, a powerful creature with the blood of two prehistoric gods, the dragon and the tiger.

No matter which way you look at it, this Tiger King is a real peerless powerhouse. A peerless powerhouse with his own land and subjects.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why it would be so rewarding to kill it. 3,000 gold coins, but some small countries have more than a year's income.

However, Hua Siqi still felt that this deal was too cost-effective, because the revenge of the target with the same strength as this Tiger King on the task list was basically several times higher than this, and the task of rewarding a city was just killing a dragon.

Banksy had little to say about the task. After Firestorm and Iron Mountain completely disappeared to summon Rebec, and Reading had become a completely different person, I was the only person Banks knew in this world. I could do nothing but sympathize with this poor woman. Besides, I knew from the beginning that she and I weren't all the same. She doesn't have much say in this matter. Her ability is nothing more than healing, and if she doesn't want to be with us, then go. That's what I asked her.

"Come on, where can I go now?" Banksy smiled helplessly at me after I suggested this to her, "Ma'am, now I only have one friend from you, and I believe I can still play a role in our team." If even you are going to abandon me, then where am I going?"

"Protoss. I replied casually, seemingly unintentionally, but Banksy didn't seem to understand what I was saying, and instead replied, "Protoss, Protoss." I have no contact with them, and I have no trouble with them except that one of their messengers has taught me what I am now capable of. So why am I embarrassed to look for them? And ma'am, I think I'll be your most capable logistics minister in the future. ”

I laughed, but then again, this little girl from Banksy does have what it takes to be a logistics minister, and as she said, she would be a very good logistics minister. What needs to be said is that I didn't mean to dare her to go, but wanted her to understand her responsibilities in the future.

"Yes, Minister of Logistics. I replied lightly: "I hope you can always know your position in the future, you are a non-combatant, so when we are on the front line, the greatest support you can do is to prepare for the treatment of injuries that we may suffer at any time, instead of letting you rush forward like a warrior who is not afraid of death." Got it?"

Banksy nodded.

"And. I continued, "In the future, even if I am about to die in battle, but when I don't ask you to treat me and Hua Siqi, even if we die there, you don't care. You can only come up and heal me and Hua Siqi if you get my orders. The rest of the time, you're going to stay far away from safety, you know?"

"But, in that case ... “

"Not so much!" I interrupted her coldly, and said in a cold tone, "Listen, if you want to be with us, then you have to do what I tell you to do." If you don't think it's good enough to satisfy you, then you can leave now. To be honest, I'd rather you leave now than lose your life in the future because of your carelessness. With that, I turned around and climbed a cliff, and standing on top of the cliff, I could vaguely see the large fiery red forest at the foot of the mountain.

There was the Bena Dark Forest, the territory of the Tiger King. Even though I was still a few kilometers away, and I was still standing at the top of the mountain, I could still clearly feel the howls coming from the dark forest of Bena. From that howl, I could tell from me that the Tiger King was announcing to outsiders like me that this was his territory, and that if he dared to trespass, he would be dead. It's good, that familiar feeling is back. Yes, it's like the excitement I felt when I faced the Duke of Disgust.

It's noon, so the color of the Bena Dark Forest is not pitch black, as its name suggests, but a blood-red color. I vaguely felt some curiosity, and at this time, Hua Siqi appeared beside me through the teleportation point and said to me, "Ma'am, do you feel very puzzled, why is the Bena Dark Forest so blood-red?"

However, I did not feel the slightest doubt, because I had a sense of familiarity here. Why do you say that? Because the scenery here is so similar to my home! No, no, it's exactly the same!" But I know that these are not ordinary fiery red, but blood. ”

"Blood?" Hua Siqi was taken aback: "Madam, how do you know?"

I turned to look at her, and then fell backwards down the cliff. When I felt the comfort brought to me by free fall, I also admired Hua Siqi's stunned expression. By the time she reached the surface through the waypoint to catch me, I had already landed lightly. "Because of our hometown, we see scenes like this everywhere. If I'm right, then the name "Dark Forest" is because at night, the blood becomes so dark that even the moonlight can't shine through. You say, am I right?"

The inexplicable Banksy and Hua Siqi, who had not yet come to their senses, nodded subconsciously, and expressed no other thoughts to me except reverence. But what I said next shocked them even more.

"If this place has been famous for a long time, then there should be one of my kindred here in addition to the Tiger King. And they are very strong of the same kind. I felt very intimate and walked in first: "It seems that the Tiger King is just a puppet on the surface, and it is definitely my kindred or a high-level kindred who is manipulating it behind the scenes!"

After entering the dense forest, even though it was still noon, the sun outside made Banks and Hua Siqi sweat, but when the two of them followed me into the dense forest, I felt that the temperature had dropped by ten or twenty degrees in an instant. And in the dense forest, it was like dusk at noon, and the further you went, the darker it became. I don't have any influence on any of this, except that Banksy is a delicate girl after all, and it is reasonable to be afraid.

Summoning a few small fireballs that could only glow, Hua Siqi took Banks' hand and comforted with a smile: "It's okay, it's just black." “

However, Hua Siqi's pull made Banks even more frightened: "Are you pulling me? one hand or two hands?" she asked Hua Siqi nervously, Hua Siqi naturally nodded: "Of course it's one hand, I still have to use my right hand to sweep away the hidden objects in front of us." “

Immediately afterward, Banks burst out with a sharp shout and quickly ran away from Hua Siqi's side, and even tripped over the dead branches on the ground: "Hua Siqi run! There are others here!

Hua Siqi subconsciously turned her head, but saw a translucent face. But she was not afraid, but gently stretched out her hand to caress the transparent man's face and turned back to Banksy and said, "Don't worry, this is just a dead soul." And you see, right above your head, there are hundreds of these ghosts. “

Banksy subconsciously looked up, and sure enough, she found a lot of transparent figures hovering above her head at random, and she suddenly screamed and hugged me tightly.

"It looks like there are quite a few creatures that have died at the hands of this tiger. Looking at the hundreds of revenants, I sighed: "These revenants were all killed by the Tiger King, if it were an ordinary person, they would be attracted by these revenants and become food for the Tiger King." But maybe they sensed our strength, so they approached us in the hope that we could rescue them. “

Banksy still didn't dare to open his eyes, but buried his head in my chest and asked urgently, "What are we going to do? How are we going to get rid of them?"

The ghost that Hua Siqi was touching suddenly emitted a pale blue light, and then disappeared. When I was about to ask her, she said to me gently, "Don't worry, Madam, I took him where he was supposed to be." But it's a lot of time and magic for me to do this, and if we really want to save them, then there's only one solution, and that's to kill the people behind the scenes. It doesn't matter if it's the Tiger King, or what you call your kindred. “

A dilemma lay ahead of me. On one side are hundreds or more innocent souls who have been killed, and on the other side are my powerful kindred. If all this was done by the Tiger King, then things would be much simpler, but I'm afraid that it is not only the Tiger King, but also my kind.

Although this never happened, none of the undead existed in an animal, not even an orc. But after going through so many things, I realized that anything is possible in this world. Otherwise, how could the magic be explained, how could the magician explain it, and even how would Rebeck explain it? Besides, no one knew if there was a loss of our kind when we were besieged to that southwest corner of the continent?

Gradually, my mood became a little heavier than the Banksy in my arms. However, Hua Siqi became very gentle here, and from a distance, it seemed that she was surrounded by the dead souls, and she even emitted bursts of crystal white light, illuminating the entire black dense forest.

Suddenly, there was a sound not far away, and I didn't move, but I had already revealed the short crossbow in my hand. Hua Siqi also reluctantly put down the revenant spirit in his hand and became vigilant. For she could see anger and horror in the expressions of those dead souls.

Finally, dozens of things came out. But I immediately withdrew my bolts, and instead ran quickly, and said behind the strange things, "Undead!

Yes, I did find my own kind. Because these dozens of things in front of us are obviously the skeleton soldiers unique to our undead clan. These skeleton soldiers should be the race that outsiders say was enslaved by the Tiger King. At this moment, I desperately want to meet my kindred, whatever it is.

Immediately after, two clouds of emerald green light suddenly appeared in the depths of the dense forest not far in front of me, accompanied by a burst of low sounds. Under my expectant gaze, the owner of this pair of eyes appeared in front of me.

It was a purple creature with stripes on its body. It was about the size of a wolf of an orc clan, but its muscles were much stronger. And the four paws shone with a blinding cold light, and a long tail swayed from side to side. What's even more special is that on its forehead, a black king character is clearly visible. I haven't seen a prehistoric animal, the tiger, but I think this creature is a good fit for the Tiger King.

I don't know whether to describe my feelings in terms of excitement or loss, and after we looked at each other, it still looked at me silently, without further movement. And I tried to communicate with it: "You, can you understand what I'm saying?"

"Undead?" Suddenly, the Tiger King spoke, but instead of answering my question, he repeated the question: "Undead, undead?"

It remembers the undead! It thrills me! I quickly continued, "Yes, yes, I'm the undead, and you're the undead." We are all undead!"

But then, it disappointed me, watching me slowly approach it, but it kept backing away while still repeating those two words: "Undead, undead?"

"Yes, yes, we're all undead!" I continued to try, and I was determined to bring this fellow back into our race!

But I was disappointed, and after a few steps back, the Tiger King actually showed an expression that only we have, and he smiled.

"Undead, oh, I remember, it's something I've eaten for over 3,000 years, and after eating it, I've grown to command the golems. I'm sorry, I'm not of your kind, but I'm the one I was able to let you meet. In the stomach, of course. “
