When they got the bounty bag, they were overjoyed, and they didn't care about Black Feather, but they just went back to the city to shop in a hurry.

The dark night had already covered the forest, and Kurofa walked alone through the forest on the east side of the green field on the outskirts of the city, and when he reached the river, he crossed a bridge. This is the place where his father, Yisheng, used to fish, and the sound of the icy river echoes in the silent air, which meanders past the bottom of the bridge, reflecting the white moonlight.

Across the river, the silhouette of a hazy, low, hillside emerges in the night, the peaks shrouded in mist.

"This is it, I remember when my father-in-law rescued me, and we stood on that hill looking at the holy city. Follow the address shown on the task board and just walk to the top of the mountain. ”

The path up the mountain was very difficult, there was no obvious path, and Black Feather used his staff to cut through thorns and pull out the bushes along the way. From time to time, a dark cloud obscured the moonlight, and only darkness remained in the forest.

The trees here are not as tall as those in the Twilight Forest, and the dense canopy clings to the ears, rustling in the night breeze like a myriad of black shadows with teeth and claws.

"The quest board says that S-class, there are new types of monsters near the top of the mountain...... It seems to be careful. Again, he recalled the mission.

In front of me, I have come to the blockade line surrounded by iron fences, and wooden planks with the words "Dangerous Forbidden Entry" are hung on the iron fence.

Since that day when he fought with the white scorpion, in fact, his memory has begun to recover, but he still wants to confirm it.

"When you enter here, you may be able to recall the past......

He jumped to his feet and jumped straight into the iron net. As he walked forward, a thick mist shrouded his skin, quickly forming into fine droplets of water, cold and biting.

After walking in the fog for a while, Kuroha felt strange, everything in the fog was unrecognizable, and the distance in it became long, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, he did not reach the gate of the research institute, but returned to the starting point the same way.

This made Black Feather very distressed. I walked several more times, and each time I came out of the fog, I saw the "dangerous forbidden" plank, and returned to the same place again.

He realized: "There should be a magic circle here, in order to trap outsiders and prevent them from entering by mistake. Fortunately, the magic array only has the effect of besieging, and there is no hidden killing intent in it. ”

Looking at the night sky, he spread his wings, and a dark wind surged up under his feet. Coming to the top of the mist-shrouded mountain, the eerie mist was like a white pot lid covering the top of the mountain.

"Sure enough, it's a magic array...... I can only break it!"

He used his mana, and the black light at the top of the staff condensed, and suddenly a "magic light slash" slashed out, hitting the mist directly. However, in the fog that was blown away by the wind, a hemispherical transparent shield appeared, and after resisting the attack of the black light, it disappeared again.

"No, this magic array is quite strong, it seems that it can't be broken without all your strength. ”

Black Feather suspended his staff in the air, and the palm of his right hand stretched forward, and the flame-shaped mark in his palm sent a burning pain, and streams of dark power poured out from the mark, covering his arm.

"The first seal - open!"

The demonic blood in the body is boiling, the blood vessels are like drumming, and the eyesight is rapidly increasing, and the range of the poor is very far, and every grass and tree in the forest at the foot of the mountain can be seen clearly. Strength, speed, and all other attributes are boosted the moment the seal is opened.

Black Feather clenched his staff again with his right hand, "Magic Light Impact!"

A swift pillar of light shot downward, and the sudden burst of impact caused the black feather in the air to retreat some distance. This time, the black light pierced through the protective shield on the top of the mountain, and the fog dispersed.

A two-storey abandoned building gradually emerged in the moonlight, the walls gray and white, most of which had collapsed, and the edges and corners of the dilapidated ruins had been weathered and cracked.

Black Feather landed on the ground and walked towards the collapsed gate of the Institute, the wide door panels rusted and submerged in the tall barren grass. The windows of the building were shattered, and debris was scattered all over the ground in the grass, clattering under your feet. Through the collapsed door, one could see the hall inside, one of which was pitch black and silent.

Black Feather stepped over the door and into the square room, the sound of footsteps echoing on the hard ground. The terrifying atmosphere made Black Feather not in the state of lifting the first seal, and kept holding the staff tightly, and walked in cautiously.

"This is where I used to be. ”

Inside, there was a wide square hall, and in the center of the hall was a chandelier shattered on the ground, and a thick layer of dust had fallen on it. There are several wooden display shelves on the surrounding walls, where bottles and cans are placed, and huge cobwebs are hung. Most of the wooden frames were already crooked, and what made Black Feather concerned was that they were covered with the paw prints of shocking beasts.

"These claw marks are extremely deep, it seems that the demon beasts in the vicinity are very fierce......" Black Feather observed carefully, "I don't know what kind of demon beasts it is." ”

At this moment, there was a cold wind behind him, and a huge black shadow flashed behind him, the speed was very fast, and as soon as Black Feather turned his head, he saw that the black shadow had bypassed him and rushed into the corridor.

Its sudden movement startled Black Feather and made it even more alert, and immediately chased it down the narrow corridor.

Along the way, footsteps thundered, rapid breathing echoed in the corridor, shaking off the dust on both sides, and the corridor was dark, and when I ran to the end, I saw a faint moonlight spilling obliquely from a door to the ground.

When he was about to run to the door, Black Feather crossed the staff, ready to attack, and there could be a sudden threat in front of him at any time.

As he ran, his eyes swept over the room, a dilapidated cafeteria, tables and chairs tumbled to the floor, and the windows on the opposite wall were all shattered, holes were wide open, and a cold wind poured in.

Stopping at the door, I saw that in the corner of the cafeteria, there were a few glowing eyes, like wolves in the night, fierce and a little afraid.

Their eerie backs outlined a huge form, their backs were clumsy, huddled behind the table to look at him, their arms drooping to the ground as thick as those of giant apes, and horse-like hair growing from their heads to their tails.

Black Feather was amazed, these monsters resembled both human and beasts. Looking around, the walls were still covered with monster claw marks, and there were still craggy white bones piled up in the corners, and Black Feather recognized several of them as if they were human. It seems that they survive by attacking nearby monsters and passers-by.

When the monsters in the corner saw him approaching, they immediately erected their manes on their backs and made a high-pitched demonstration sound, their white fangs baring outward, and their scarlet mouths drooling with disgust.
