Chapter 1198: Amnesia
There is no doubt that the sudden attack brought this already exhausted team to the brink of despair and collapse.
In particular, the image of seeing the skull of the partner who lived and died together was lifted open and the brain was sucked alive, and it was like a nightmare that kept zooming in my mind, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't forget it.
However, as steadfast Knights of the Church, they have not forgotten their mission.
After a short rest, follow the captain's lead and begin to follow the winding path connecting vines and foliage, towards the top of the tree.
Because they had to figure out why the Goddess of Darkness had sent herself to such a dangerous and strange place, an independent environment formed by towering giant trees, a world completely different from the outside, before all the light died.
But soon, the intruder realizes how ignorant and shallow his knowledge of the place is.
After more than 300 meters from the intricate roots of the trees on the ground, the lush branches and vines mingled together to form umbrella-like platforms, the smaller ones the size of half a football field, and the larger ones like small islands in the sea.
And each platform is inhabited by many strange creatures that have never been seen before, and some have built rudimentary houses, used primitive tools, and even occasionally traded with each other.
All of this indicates that this group of strange creatures actually has a considerable degree of intelligence and a minimum degree of civilization.
"Oh my God! where did these guys come from? How come I've never heard of them before?"
One of the surviving Church knights couldn't help but exclaim as he watched the naked, gray-haired creatures in the distance.
Because they were gathering together, like industrious bees, they erected a wooden statue three meters high.
Although the statue's form is so abstract that it is impossible to tell what it is, the appearance of the cult means that they are no longer satisfied with eating and drinking like animals, competing with each other for the right to mate during estrus, doing everything they can to pass on their genes, and instead pursuing spiritual satisfaction.
"Be careful! Don't disturb them! I'm not sure if they're the same monsters that attacked us before. The knight captain subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword, and his eyes revealed a strong vigilance.
There's no way not to be vigilant!
On this section of the road three hundred meters above the ground, he was attacked several times, with giant insects and poisonous snakes accounting for more than half, and the rest were these strange-looking intelligent creatures.
"Don't worry, Captain, they should be different from what we've encountered before. Do you notice the plants in the pools, which have apparently learned to work roughly, planting for food, compared to the hunters. The other knight pointed to the row of purple-red fruits on the stand on the side of the platform.
As he spoke, a young fellow plucked a fruit from the shelf, stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it heavily.
You don't have to ask to know that this unknown fruit is a stable source of food for this ethnic group.
"Farming, damn it! This place is getting weirder and weirder. In any case, we must be careful not to see any more large-scale attrition. The captain grumbled as he climbed up a thick vine.
The rest of the team followed, even though they were very tired and eager to find a safe place to stop and rest for a while, followed by a good night's sleep.
But the cruel reality forced them to keep moving forward, and they didn't dare to stay in one place at all.
Because no one knows if there is a chance for him to wake up after stopping to sleep.
......
In this way, along the stairs naturally formed by the Tree of Chaos, the group climbed up without sleep.
When you are tired and sleepy, you take turns to be on guard, sit down and close your eyes and take a nap for an hour or two, and when you are hungry and thirsty, you can eat something casually.
Finally, after going through countless hardships and dangers, I climbed to the canopy where the air was so thin that it was difficult to breathe.
Because the altitude is already very high, the temperature is almost low enough to freeze people to death.
Fortunately, the two people who finally arrived at the destination had already obtained enough warm clothes from their sacrificial companions along the way, and they were wrapped like zongzi.
"Look, what is that, Captain?" cried out the surviving knight, pointing to a black figure high above the canopy.
You must know that more than half a month has passed since he started climbing, and it is the first time he has seen a figure haunted, and he will inevitably become very excited.
"It seems to be a person?!Let's go!let's take a look!" The knight captain wiped his eyebrows and the white frost from his breath, and strode towards where the black mirror was.
In just five or six minutes, the two of them arrived at the only place in the canopy that was fairly flat, and they were surprised to find that the other party was a woman shrouded in a black translucent robe.
Because of the veil, they couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but those eyes as dark and dark as the night sky released a powerful coercion.
"Female ...... Goddess, are you the great Dark Goddess Musa?" the captain's voice trembled and disbelieving.
As a devout believer, he immediately recognized the woman in front of him who had a dispute similar to the temple statue.
"Dark goddess Musa, is this my name?" the veiled woman's tone was full of confusion.
"Aren't you?" said another knight.
"No, I don't know, I don't remember anything, not even how I got to this place. The woman shook her head slightly, and then a look of pain appeared on her face.
The captain exchanged a look with his remaining men, quickly took out a holy emblem from his arms, and handed it to the other party: "Look at this! Maybe it can help you remember what you started with." ”
"It's ?!!!"
The woman's eyes widened sharply, staring at the remaining breath on the emblem.
The breath felt so familiar to her, as if it were part of her body.
"This is the emblem of the Goddess of Darkness! is our only faith!" the captain said solemnly.
Although he hadn't figured out what was going on, he was already vaguely aware that the woman in front of him, who seemed to have lost his memory, was the goddess of darkness he had served wholeheartedly......
