"The evil in you is a beast, and the whole forest will tremble for it, and in the same way, my child, if the good in you is a beast, then the whole forest will seek refuge from it......"

In the gray mist.

An old man in a purple cloak whispers in his ear to a baby in his arms.

"I used to ask too much of you and never realized how painful it was to not have my true self. ”

"I hope for the last self-redemption ......"

The old man raised his head, and two gentle gazes poked out of his deep-set eye sockets and landed on the baby's sleeping face.

"It was only in irretrievable circumstances that I realized what I had missed. ”

The old man sighed deeply and continued.

"People will always destroy things that are not necessary in their hearts......"

"Then I want you to live this life with a complete choice. ”

After the old man finished speaking, two thick branches stretched out from the mist behind the old man, intertwined with each other and quickly weaved into a cradle.

The cradle shimmered with a faint green light, and the fine young grass covered the inside of the cradle in the blink of an eye. Four thin vines came out, swaying and spewing out a little fluorescent, and in the blink of an eye, a glowing quilt was spread in the cradle.

The old man carefully placed the baby in the cradle and gently covered him with the quilt.

"My child ......"

His withered palm caressed the baby's cheek. The wrinkled face did not show any expression, but looked at the baby with gentle eyes and muttered to himself.

After speaking, the old man withdrew his hand.

He nodded, and the branch disappeared into the depths of the mist with the baby.

The fog around the old man suddenly stirred and kept gathering, forming a vortex of mist.

Two flaming balls of scarlet light floated out from the vortex and appeared in front of the old man.

"Demon, why did you let him be reborn as a human?"

It was as if the earth was whispering, and a deep, deep voice echoed through the mist.

"My remaining strength is not enough to sustain him to survive as a demon......"

The old man stared in the direction in which the baby had disappeared and continued with a little regret.

"I am the last demon, and the sinner of the race is me, not my child. ”

The ball of light flickered slightly, and let out a long sigh.

"Even I never thought that, Garth, you would die like this. ”

"Such a tragic death......"

When the old man heard this, he grinned, and didn't seem to care what the light ball said.

In an instant, his body swelled rapidly, and his deep purple metallic skin replaced his dry skin. The cloak turned into a pair of massive bony wings that spread out behind him, black eerie lines covering his body.

A demon approaching three meters tall appears in the mist.

"This is my ....... Self-redemption. ”

It's like a dying patient talking in a dream.

......

Misty Forest.

"Click!"

A young blonde archer trampled on a branch, which was so piercing in the silence of the forest that everyone was startled.

It's a five-person mercenary squad.

The bearded swordsman in front of him glared back at him, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he turned his head away.

The archer swallowed and said in a trembling voice.

"Captain, I think something is wrong......

"Shut up! Soft-ass Jack! You've always been a soft-ass!"

The swordsman didn't look back, and said in a low voice.

"Keep quiet!"

Jack gritted his teeth and didn't dare to say anything more, so he clenched his bow and arrows and followed the team on.

"Don't be a mercenary if you're timid. ”

The Warlock, holding the wooden staff in the middle of the line, scoffed.

They have gained a lot this time.

Lady Luck was watching over them, and they made their way into the depths of the Misty Forest. This is something that many powerful mercenary groups can't do.

Although they don't know what dangers await ahead, huge risks represent huge benefits, and they really don't want to give up this opportunity, and they may not be so lucky next time.

Jack opened his mouth and was about to refute when the captain in front of him suddenly shouted.

"Attention!

The surrounding fog keeps the visibility level extremely low, and the further you go deeper into the forest, the thicker the fog becomes. It is said that it reaches the point where you can't see your fingers at a deeper level.

The attention of the entire team was drawn by a cloud of purple light that loomed in the mist in the air ahead.

"Shamet! Cloth shields! Archers prepare! Warriors fight their spirits!"

The captain bowed his body, the long sword in his hand burning with flames, blocking his chest, and giving a loud command.

The tip of Shamet's staff lit up with blue light, and his lips moved twice, and a transparent energy shield formed in front of everyone.

The captain was obviously a lot more relieved when he saw the energy shield, and the swordsmen on both sides of Shamet did the same

Well, combat readiness.

"Go ahead! Look what the hell that is!"

The captain pointed his sword and shouted.

With this command, the mercenary team moved slowly but neatly.

The team wasn't far from the purple light, only a few hundred meters away. In less than thirty seconds, the team was near the purple light.

In the location of the Misty Forest, it was simply impossible to clearly see what was on the trunk of a tree dozens of meters above the ground, but they could. It was also the first time that anyone had been able to see the trees of the Misty Forest in their entirety.

Because only this tree is not surrounded by fog.

At this time, no one in the team could speak, and even the well-informed captain was dumbfounded.

It was a huge tree large enough for twenty adult males to embrace with their arms outstretched, and from the bottom of the tree only the black trunk could be seen reaching into the sky, and the crown could not be seen. Several vines the width of a human shoulder twined around the trunk for tens of meters.

At the end of the vine, a large egg-shaped hole was cut in the trunk.

What terrified the team was the egg-shaped hole.

A naked giant sat cross-legged in the hole, his upper body alone being five meters tall.

The giant's eyes were closed, his knife-like muscles were eerily black, and his body seemed to be transparent.

In the center of his chest, the ball of flesh that seemed to be a heart was emitting a purple glow. As the ball of flesh beats, the purple light also flickers.

That's where that purple light comes from—the beating heart of the giant.

The captain was the first to react.

"Quiet...... Don't be silent....... Retreat, retreat quickly......"

The captain's hand holding the sword trembled slightly, but as a glorious swordsman, he quickly calmed down. He gestured and said in a low voice.

Only then did the team react, slightly flustered but quietly retreating.

Fear grabbed them by the throats, preventing them from making a sound.

Jack's eyes were a little red, he couldn't hold the bow and arrows anymore, he didn't want to die yet, he was only seventeen years old, if it weren't for this damn sister he wouldn't have come out to be a mercenary at all, how good it would be to be a guard guarding the city.

This monster ...... It's good to leave this kind of monster to those powerful heroes to kill, why do little people like me still encounter it, I really don't want to die, really.

Jack found him in tears.

Shamet didn't taunt him, he didn't even go to see Jack, they were already too busy to take care of themselves, and hurriedly retreated with the captain.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm okay......"

"I will live, I will, I will, I will be the most gifted warlock, I will not die, I will not, I will not. ”

Shamet dispelled the magic shield, put a blast on herself, and muttered in a low voice.

With the blessing of the Wind Blast, he quickly surpassed the captain who was leading in front.

"Damn it!"

The captain watched Shamet speed forward beyond him, and cursed angrily in his heart, but he didn't dare to make unnecessary movements, all giants in the record are very sensitive to the elements, and Shamet is likely to wake up the giants with the wind technique.

I shouldn't have looked for these inexperienced rookies, who knew that this time I would go so deep..... Now as long as the giant doesn't wake up, everything will be fine, and the rest will be liquidated one by one when they get through this catastrophe.

The giant shouldn't have been awakened, right?

The captain boldly glanced back at the giant.

He saw the giant's amber eyes staring at him indifferently.

His mind was blank at this time, what kind of eyes was this! Just like the eyes of the gods on the statues built by ancient people, they ignored everything and were condescending.

"It's over. ”

The captain had only one thought left at this point.
