Climb over mountains, cross swamps, and make your way along endless wilderness.

Eat rough dry food when you're hungry, drink cold water when you're thirsty, and if you're lucky enough to meet an animal, you can eat a barbecue or a steaming bowl of soup.

These open-minded knights, who endured unbearable hardships, finally saw the magnificent canopy of the Tree of Chaos two months later.

"The Goddess of Darkness is above......! How can it grow so tall? You know, in my hometown, a tree grows up to a hundred meters at most, and when it rains, it will be thunderbolted and burned to the ground. A man who looked to be around thirty years old subconsciously opened his mouth wide and exclaimed in amazement.

"Whew! Looks like that's what the Bishop mentioned. Ready, let's go in and find out. The knight captain drank the last drop of water from the pot in one gulp, licked his slightly dry lips and commanded.

Due to the existence of the Chaos Tree, there is no obvious surface water source for hundreds of kilometers around.

The streams, rivers, lakes, mountain springs, etc., that used to flow, have all been sucked clean, and even slight desertification has appeared in the marginal areas.

Many of the members of the team hadn't drunk decent water in days, and their mouths and throats had become like they were going to smoke.

However, when I saw the Chaos Tree, the surrounding ecological environment immediately took a 180-degree turn, not only can you see all kinds of strange animals and plants everywhere, but also huge leaves and roots, there are small pits of stagnant water, some of which are more than a thousand meters in diameter, equivalent to a small waterhole or lake.

Without any hesitation!

Thirsty and hungry, the Church Knights rushed directly under the Chaos Tree with intricate rhizomes as fast as they could, eagerly picking up the slightly sweet water and drinking it, while others took out their bows and crossbows and shot the fat-looking critters.

After only an hour and a half, they had picked up a large pile of fat-laden dead branches and lit a campfire next to a pool of water, intending to enjoy a delicious and hearty feast in the wilderness.

Especially the translucent fish in the pool, so delicious that they almost swallowed their tongues together, not realizing that danger was already silent.

......

"Hey!Roma!Did you hear any strange noises!" a knight who was gnawing on flesh and bones stopped his movements, his glasses showing a look of wariness.

But unfortunately, another knight named Roma didn't take it seriously, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Don't be nervous! Didn't we have already searched the surroundings just now, and there are no beasts that only threaten, so let's eat your barbecue with peace of mind. ”

"Well, maybe I'm a little nervous. ”

The former shrugged his shoulders and opened his mouth to tear off a piece of golden, slightly blood-streaked tender steak.

The two of them didn't know that while they were talking, several black figures with primitive weapons were already unconsciously lurking on the branches, staring at each move below with a pair of green eyes.

Needless to say, these distorted and strange beings who have begun to possess rudimentary intelligence are the special species that have been affected by the Chaos Tree and have begun to evolve uncontrollably.

To be exact, these few here today are all monsters that like to eat the brains of intelligent life.

It is also unclear whether it requires a substance contained in the brains of intelligent beings, or just to satisfy the soft taste.

In short, even within the influence of the strange Chaos Tree, they are truly aliens, feared, ostracized, and hated by other species.

Hunting is a carnivore instinct, a killing instinct engraved in the genes.

As long as a species has not permanently removed meat from its recipes, this instinct will never disappear, no matter how technological and social developments and advances.

It will only be temporarily hidden by the constraints of law and morality, and once the existing order collapses, or is stimulated by the outside world, the instinct to kill and hunt will immediately awaken, and it will do a lot of crazy acts that are unacceptable to ordinary people living in peaceful environments.

Obviously, these monsters who like to eat the brains of intelligent creatures are definitely 100% meat-eating.

Although it was the first time they had encountered the largest indigenous population on the planet, they were not at all afraid.

After briefly checking the number of prey, the leader raised the sharpened wooden spear in his hand and waved it at the other companions beside him.

The latter understood this, and jumped up and down the branches with the help of their well-developed upper limbs, and in a few moments each knight had at least one monster above his head.

Accustomed to plane combat, they undoubtedly forgot that their position was the root of a giant tree, and completely neglected to make sure that it was safe overhead.

Next Second......

All the monsters jump from a great height and launch a surprise attack on their prey.

Despite the rudimentary nature of the wooden spears, which could not even pierce steel cuirasses, too many knights were swooped down on by these powerful monsters before they could react, followed by stones slamming their heads into the blood, and losing the ability to fight back.

And the monsters were unceremonious, directly picking open the wound with hook-like fingers, gulping and sucking the red and white brains.

This primitive, barbaric, and cruel scene directly frightened the knight captain stupidly, and he suddenly pulled out his sword and cut off the head of the monster next to him, and roared angrily: "Die! Monster! Quickly! Everyone who can move takes up arms! If you don't want to die!"

"Sword!

"Shield! I need a shield!"

"Damn! I need cover!"

......

A few lucky people who were lucky enough to survive the surprise attack immediately dropped the food in their hands and quickly formed a battle formation back to back, and through cooperation to resist the monsters with superior numbers.

Fortunately, these brain-eating monsters are not like fighting hard, and after besieging for a while, they found that they couldn't help each other, so they quickly took the corpse, jumped on the branches in three or two, and disappeared into the depths of the dense branches and leaves.

Looking at the blood stains on the ground around him, the knight captain shuddered and said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "O great goddess of darkness, what kind of place have you led us to? What are those monsters?

It's a pity that the goddess didn't give him a clear answer, not even a single response.
