Chapter 24: The Queen of Thorns

To the south of the ancient jungle of Kumang, the plague jungle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This was originally a corner of the ancient jungle of Kumang, but because of a sudden plague outbreak here many years ago, many creatures were wiped out in this plague, and the plague also left a poisonous miasma in this jungle that will never dissipate, so that people and animals who think of this place are discouraged, so this place has gradually evolved into a dead and silent plague jungle.

And on this day, this plague jungle, which has not been visited for a long time, welcomed two guests, who seemed to be not afraid of the miasma here, swaggering through the jungle floating in the green miasma.

"Hey, Darius, are you sure it's here? It's really, disgusting! ”

Draven's signature, obnoxious voice echoed in the distance, reverberating in a place filled with the stench of decomposing corpses and wood rotting by water.

"According to the map given by Lord Svein, it should be near here." Darius's steady, thick voice echoed Draven's complaints.

"We didn't even rest, we just ran to this place, don't get it wrong with the map. If you run for nothing, I won't let you go! ”

"Whisper to me, don't yell next to me!"

"Tut-tut, it's so stingy, I didn't dislike you for not saying a word."

"Shut up, Draven!"

"Really!"

Next, there were all kinds of disgusted and vomiting voices from Draven, although the first encounter with Galen didn't cost them too much energy, but they crawled long distances to this plague jungle to find that designated point on the map, and the bumpy road along the way really made them tired, and it was no wonder that Draven kept complaining.

Darius looked at the locations marked on the map and looked around again. Convinced that he had reached the location on the map, he began to look around carefully, looking for the man whom Svein called Queen.

However, surrounded by the same dry trees covered with verdant moss, Darius really couldn't tell which queen he was looking for.

What Darius didn't know was. The queen he was looking for, Zyra, was a deadly flower waiting for its prey in a wetland not far from him.

Zyra was originally a plant eager to take control of her own destiny.

The dying ancient plant, in order to gain a second life, shifted her consciousness to a human body. Centuries ago, she and her ilk dominated the Plaguelands, and any animal that set foot in their territory was told. will be devoured by their thorns and vines.

As the years passed, the animals died out. Food grew scarce, and Zyra watched helplessly as the last of her kind withered and withered. She thought she was going to die alone, but the appearance of a reckless female mage brought her a ray of life.

For the first time in years, Zyra felt a creature hovering so close to her. Hunger drove her closer to the female mage, but in addition, deeper instincts forced her to do so. She easily wrapped the woman in thorns. But as she tastes the ultimate meal, foreign memories invade her mind. She saw many magnificent jungles made of metal and stone. Humans and animals thrive in these places.

Surges of mana surged through her vines, and she came up with a brilliant but daring plan for survival, as Zyra used the woman's memories to pour her newfound magic into the creation of a humanoid Horcrux. She didn't know what kind of world awaited her, but she had nothing to lose, nothing to lose.

When Zyra opened her eyes. She was almost overwhelmed by the pure power that lingered on her fingertips. She didn't realize how easily she had become, and she didn't realize it until she noticed the stumps that had been left behind when she was a plant.

If the body were to die, she would not be able to retreat through the vine network or regenerate herself through the rhizomes...... But she really felt what it was like to be alive. For the first time, she tasted the world from the perspective of an animal. At the same time, a dark smile crossed the corners of his lips.

She was born again, and now, she rules the entire plague jungle, calling herself 'The Rise of Thorns', and there is so much under her control.

On this day, Zyra, who was sleeping and absorbing the nutrients delivered by the vine network, was woken up by a noisy sound.

Zyra's spirit slowly woke up, she felt the two people slowly approaching from the vine network, she didn't even bother to open her eyes, her mind moved slightly, and several vines, as if they had come to life, like swimming snakes, approached the two Darius brothers, approaching the past.

The slow-moving vines didn't attract the attention of the Delai brothers, after all, the jungle was full of such spiky vines.

Draedin pursed his lips and walked with a big grin, when suddenly there was a strange look under his feet, as if he had stepped on something soft, and Draven looked down and saw that what he had stepped on was a budding red flower bone.

Draven grinded his feet in disgust and cursed, but then he noticed that deadly barbs bloomed on the ground around the flowers!

The red flower bone was pierced by this deadly barb, and in the blink of an eye, it grew into a plant full of thorns, its exaggerated flower was like a bloody mouth, and its mouth was full of thorns!

Burst!

The plant took a sharp breath and spewed thorns in the flower at Draven!

Delevingne was caught off guard, and his whole face was spit out with tiny thorns, and the thorns were accompanied by paralyzing toxins, which made Delevingne instantly feel that his face was not his own face, and he wailed in pain.

Darius realized that something was wrong, and immediately lifted the Black Cutter and slashed at the Thorn Blaster.

However, in reality, it was not that simple, a group of vines like pythons poured out of the ground, entangled Darius so tightly that he could not move at all.

The vines wrapped around Darius's body slowly contracted, and the power of the restraint made Darius unable to hold the black cutter in his hand, and the black giant axe fell to the ground with a thud, and the muffled sound was like the voice of Darius.

And the stumbling Draven over there covered his face in pain and shouted, "Darius, Darius! Come and save me, save me! ”

Darius gritted his teeth, trying to break free from the shackles, but in vain, the vines all over his body struggled tighter and tighter, gradually strangling into Darius's skin, flesh and blood.

At this moment, because of the leaning of his body, a pitch-black thing fell from Darius's waist and fell into the muddy swamp, slowly sinking.

Darius suddenly felt the vines on his body stop contracting, and just as he was surprised by the change, he couldn't see a tiny vine rising from the swamp.

And the tip of the vine curled up in the pitch-black thing that had just fallen from Darius.

The vine slowly stretched out in front of Darius, holding the pitch-black thing in front of him.

It was a, a black badge, a crow badge with extremely fine carving!

Then, a majestic woman's voice rang out.

"Where did you get this thing?" (To be continued.) )
