chapter26

Tacales is 100% determined, but reality is not always so good. When he climbed the Tree of Origin, when he endured a strong revolt and used the faces of different shapes on the Tree of Origin as a pedal for more than ten minutes, he rose a sense of despair, that cluster of green light, too far and too far, he climbed for so long, the distance between him and the green light seemed to have not been shortened by a fraction, and the green light was still out of reach.

Takales looked down, and below him was darkness, and he could no longer see his companions, and above him was darkness, except for the unwarm light, a different color that was unique to his eyes. He inevitably had a pessimistic feeling, and in this boundless darkness, he seemed to be alone, with no one to keep him company or support, and he was as lonely as a boat in the sea, and a big wave could capsize him.

Takales thought that he might never get to where the green light was, and that he and his companions would be buried in the Forest of Terror.

When Takales had this thought, the scent of the Tree of Origin grew stronger, and they scrambled into his nostrils like life, eating away at his brain, trying to corrupt him into a madman. Realizing that something was wrong, he shook his head vigorously, turning his supple blonde hair into a messy chicken nest, and at the same time threw those negative thoughts out of his mind, he said to himself, every great mercenary leader will go through a thousand dangers, he will eventually become a great knight and an excellent leader, and no matter what kind of test he encounters, he must overcome it, which will promote his growth! The most important thing is that as a responsible man, as a man with a sense of honor, even if he is about to die, he can't give up his companions!

Takales' ten fingers dug deep into the bark, his nails were full of dirt, and the two nails of his right index and middle fingers were even missing, bleeding and hurting just to look at, but he didn't notice it, and only single-mindedly marched towards the green light.

Takales silently counted, fifty-nine, sixty, one, two...... He was counting the time he had climbed the tree, from one second to sixty seconds, one minute at a time, and then again, it was twenty minutes!

Takales was tired, his biceps muscles were undeservedly sore, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat, making him look like a chicken in soup that had been fished out of water. He had never been so tired, his breath was full of spicy breath, mixed with the inconspicuous smell of blood, and his lungs seemed to be stuffed with lead, heavy and painful to the point of exploding! He wanted to rest, even if it was for a while, but he couldn't, and he knew that once he stopped, he wouldn't have the strength to climb up again.

Takales whispered, "Twenty-eight." ”

Twenty-eight minutes later, Takales finally closed the distance between himself and the Green Light, and he smiled weakly and stretched out his hand to the Green Light, but a terrible scream resounded through the Forest of Terror, and Takalas' ears were almost deaf, and just as he wondered what this scream was, the bark under him moved! No, a thousand faces on the Tree of Origin, to be exact, moved!

Ulila had a calm little face, staring at the restless faces on the Tree of Origin, this is the restlessness of the soul, this is the fury and horror of the Tree of Origin, this is the Jedi counterattack of a tree!

The scent of the Tree of Origin was useless to Takales, who used the fluctuations of the tree's body to throw the human who was trying to destroy him a hundred meters into the air, shattering him to pieces!

Ulila stepped on the roots of the Tree of Origin's exposed dirt, his little hand touching a face on the Tree of Origin, his eyelids half-closed, and he chanted a spell in a low voice. The incantation was awkward and obscure, the most mysterious and ancient language, the inheritance of his birth—the incantation to soothe the soul.

At the sound of Ulila's incantation, the fluctuations of the Tree of Origin gradually weakened, and it seemed to be extremely unwilling, roaring wildly, filling the horror forest with a circular scream, and frightened all the beasts in the forest to hide in their nests, shivering.

Because of the sudden fluctuations, Takares slid down more than ten meters, and if he hadn't plunged his dagger into the trunk of a tree in a desperate moment, he would have fallen to his death!

Takales bent his fingers and groped for the sapphire on the handle of the dagger—the dagger belonged to Lub, because both his and Monhama's swords were broken, and he had to take Lub's precious dagger at the cost of a punch from Lub, and he should be glad that Lub was not in a normal state, otherwise it would have been more than a punch to move the thief's things without permission.

Takales used the sharpened dagger as an aid, nailing it into the trunk again and again to help him climb, the Tree of Origin's screaming louder with each stab into the tree, as if it knew the pain. Takales tried to cover his ears, the scream was so loud and piercing that his heart was stuffy, but he couldn't, his hands had to be used to climb trees!

Takales endured the discomfort, gritted his teeth and climbed up, and there were still four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter, and it was here! He's reached the place where the green light shines!

Takales was so excited that he wanted to yell, but he didn't have the strength, he lightly touched the green light, it was not hot, it was not ice, it didn't feel real, which made Takales hesitate, could this green light really pierce with a dagger? He closed his eyes, he didn't have time to think about it, he trusted Filsie's judgment, and he had to believe it, because he had no other way!

Takales drew his dagger, praying for success as he swung it with what little strength he had left, stabbing the indestructible blade into the green light! The moment the tip of the knife touched the green light, the green light suddenly bloomed, and the brightness increased several times, which made Takares instinctively close his eyes, and the scream of the Tree of Origin became more and more poignant, just like a struggle before death, the frequency of the scream caused the body of the tree to vibrate, and the soul that was forcefully suppressed by Ulilah with a spell was restless again, and the undulating face caused an earthquake-like effect, and Takalas's hand slipped, and he could no longer hold on to the bark, and actually fell from a high altitude!

Takales thought, it's over, we're all going to die.

Tacales has always been a positive and optimistic person, he is like sunshine, always full of vigor and hope, but this time, even he gave up, fell from nearly a hundred meters in the air, even if he fell into the dirt, he would die. He desperately looked up in the fall, he could still faintly see the cluster of green light, he laughed at himself, the green light was not extinguished, and they were hopeless in Monhama, and in the end, he could not save anyone.

Takales spread out his limbs to meet his death, but when he did touch the ground, he was amazed to find that the ground was soft, not only soft, but also moving! Takales sat up and saw that he had fallen on the white lion's back! The white lion jumped up when Tacales was still a dozen meters away, lifted Tacales and saved his life.

Takalas's mind raced, he looked around, and immediately smiled, his companions had all been freed from extreme emotions and had returned to normal, which showed that he had succeeded! He pierced the green light and broke the enchantment core! The enchantment of the Forest of Terror no longer exists!

The six of them raised their heads in unison, and the darkness that enveloped the horror forest all year round was like a torn cloth, and from the cracks came out the light from the outside world, and the gaps became bigger and bigger, and the blue sky came out, the white clouds came out, the birds came out, and the sun came out! The warm sunlight covered the forest of terror in an instant, dispelling the gloom and resentment in the forest, and all the faces on the big trees melted into the sunlight, and colorful flowers bloomed on the overgrown ground, this scene was like a painting, a painting from decay and withering to vitality!

In less than ten minutes, the terrifying forest of terror changed, and it became serene and peaceful, like the most ordinary forest in the world.

Ulila stared blankly at the sky, it was the first time he had seen the real blue sky and white clouds, not what he imagined, but what he had actually seen, it was so beautiful! He breathed greedily, felt the warmth of the sun, felt the fragrance of flowers wafting through the forest, this is what the outside world looks like.

Tears welled up in Ulila's big eyes, and Takales picked him up with pity and said, "Don't cry, good, I'll take you to see a more beautiful scenery." ”

"I didn't cry, my eyes hurt," Ulila said. ”

Filsi covered Ulila's eyes with his hand and said, "You have never seen such a strong light in the horror forest, and you can't get used to it, don't look at the sun all the time, be careful to become a little blind man." ”

Ulilah muttered, "I won't be blind. ”

As soon as Ulilah's eyes were adjusted, she broke free from Tacales' embrace and went to pick flowers and play, which left Tacales free to talk to Monhama and them.

The four of them had just experienced extreme love, and their faces were stiff at this time, and they couldn't laugh if they wanted to, so they could only look at Tacales with their faces paralyzed, and Tacales joked: "I seem to be stared at by four Lubu, and the pressure is so great." ”

Lub raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes fell on the dagger on Tacales's waist, Tacales hurriedly returned the dagger to its original owner, and promised Lub that he would never touch it casually in the future, Lub inserted the dagger back into the sheath and said, "Don't take it as an example." He paused and said, "Thank you." ”

As if he had heard something terrible, Takales laughed and said, "Amon, did you hear me, Lub said thank you to me, Lub said thank you to me!" Oh my God, I must be dreaming! ”

"I wish it was a dream," said Monthama, "because our lives were almost gone." ”

"Hey, but we survived, didn't we?" ”

"Haha, you're right! We're going to celebrate when we get back to Marion! ”

Takales said, "Yes, we want to eat and drink well!" ”

Takales and Monhama were happily planning how they were going to celebrate the aftermath of the catastrophe, while Monroe rested against a tree with a pale face, and said weakly, "This is the fifth day, and it will take us two days to get back to the moonflower, and if we go back it will be daytime and wait for it to bloom at night, and if there is no moonlight that day, we will have to wait, and we will have to spend it again after getting the moonflower out of the forest of terror and back to Marion City...... Well, how many days? I can't tell. All in all, we're running out of time. ”

Monroe said this, everyone saved them The real task of the horror forest is to pick the moon flower, breaking the barrier or something is the side task! That is to say, now is far from the time for them to be happy, and if they move slowly, they may fail beyond the ten-day deadline. This is not allowed!

The group of people who had just escaped death didn't have time to rest, and they rushed back desperately.
