In a trance, Du Qi seemed to see a colorful light in the distance, it is said that people always see some magical things before death, and this beautiful illusion is probably the prelude to death.

In the light, a golden creature stood proudly. It seemed to be a creature from the wilderness with a body as strong as a velociraptor but with an indescribable nobility. Its head was covered by a helmet-like white skull, revealing only a pair of proud eyes and a beautiful white horn on its forehead. It has smooth white hair on its back and two rows of spikes at the end of its long, muscular tail. Even though it was far away, Du Qi could still make out the pale golden scales on the surface of its body, as well as the arcane patterns made up of dark red stripes.

It's like a perfect combination of violence and beauty, holy and mysterious, like a perfect god that only appears in mythology, and people can't help but want to worship it.

The velociraptor stood in the distance, its red eyes staring at the governor. After a long time, the indifferent gaze flickered, and the legs full of power slowly moved, but it gave people a sense of incongruity that instantly traveled through endless time and space. It was standing not far away, and Du Qi didn't even know its movements, and the layers of vines wrapped around his body instantly shattered, falling one by one, and finally dissipated as if evaporating in golden light.

Duzi's head was slightly dizzy again, and the scene in his vision changed dramatically in an instant. The disgusting accumulation of flesh and blood, the overwhelming green tentacles, disappeared with the inexplicable fear in their hearts. All he saw was pitch black, soft, slime-stained fleshy tentacles enveloping him. The disgusting mucus seemed to have a corrosive effect, causing him to feel a slight tingling sensation in his skin.

Duzi felt a little depressed, and subconsciously wanted to struggle. The tentacles were weaker than expected, and it didn't take much effort for him to regain control of his body. The anger that had been held back in his heart surged again, and Du Qi grabbed a few tentacles with both hands and pulled them hard, and then the strong fishy breath that came made him almost vomit.

......A sharp and piercing scream sounded, and the rest of the tentacles began to retract rapidly.

Caught off guard, Du Qi, who had lost his support, fell heavily to the ground, and his right hand happened to touch the iron sword that fell into the grass. He propped up the ground with his left hand, didn't bother to wipe the smelly green blood from his face, got up and caught up with the retracting tentacles, and once again swung his sword to cut off more than a dozen tentacles. It was only then that Dozi could see the culprit of the attack.

The monster resembles a two-legged dinosaur, with two entangled black tentacles stretching outward, revealing the pale red skin of its abdomen, and it is from that spot that an ugly, large, toothless mouth can be clearly seen. Duzi knew this kind of monster, although there was a lot of change in appearance, but it was obviously the monster he had seen not long ago, Nightmare Weaving.

Matching the terrifying shape, Nightmare Weave's weakness in battle boosted Duzi's confidence, and he stepped forward quickly, using his shield to block the three barbed tentacles, and slashed down with his right hand mercilessly. Nightmare Weave let out another piercing scream, and another mass of tentacles began to quickly retract, throwing Hanekawa to the ground.

It was only then that it finally remembered to run away.

But where is Duqi willing to let the prey in his hands escape like this? What's more, it's a monster that almost killed him. He hurried forward, stabbing the monster in the thick neck with a sword, pulling a huge wound diagonally upwards. Strangely, no blood flowed from the shocking wound, and even the monster's movements were not affected in any way.

Nightmare Weave shook her body violently, shaking the sword away and knocking Duqi to the ground. It took a step to escape.

A feathered arrow swept through the air at this moment, hitting the monster's calf accurately.

Hanekawa picked up the longbow on the ground and shot the arrow, while reminding loudly, "Duqi, attack its abdomen, its neck and head are disguised. ”

Taking advantage of the monster's injury, Duzi barely managed to catch up with it, and at the same time kicked the monster in the injured calf with a right kick. Nightmare Weave lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground in an extremely miserable movement, and slid forward a few meters under the influence of inertia, and finally crashed into a large tree. Du Qi stabilized his body, took a few steps forward and chased after the monster, and neatly pierced the monster's chest with both swords in his hands.

Nightmare Weave screamed screaming, and his body frantically tried to struggle under the severe pain, but was held down by Hanekawa, who came later. Duqi pulled out the dagger from Hanekawa's waist with his left hand, and gave the monster a few more stabs, so that its struggle weakened again. Soon, the Nightmare Weave stopped moving, and the black tentacles wrapped around its body were scattered weakly.

"Oh my God, we actually killed a Nightmare Weave." Hanekawa rolled over and lay on the grass and laughed a few times with a look of horror on his face, "Hell, why are there nightmares weaving in this area, don't they live in the depths of the black pine forest?" ”

"Just now...... It's all an illusion, right? It's the first time I've fought with such a monster. Recalling the terrifying but true memories of the past, Du Qi couldn't help but shudder.

"Yes, could it be that Brother Duqi, you have also been recruited? Hey...... That...... So how do you break free from the illusion? ”

"I don't know...... Something has just happened, it's amazing. Duqi touched his face, and the mixture of blood and soil stuck to it, which made him feel unusually uncomfortable. So he simply took off his dirty leather armor, took off the short sleeves that were still clean inside, and wiped his face and arms as a towel. He thought for a moment, then took out a wooden basin from his personal space, poured some drinking water into it, and washed his face with his hands. "Whew...... It's much more comfortable now. By the way, Hanekawa, tell me about this nightmare weaving. He gasped for air.

"It's so convenient to carry around, but it's a pity that I'm two years away from turning eighteen, so I don't know what kind of special abilities I can have at that time!" Hanekawa wiped his arm with the remaining water and continued with a bitter face: "Brother Duqi, you have also seen it just now, Nightmare Weave's physical fitness is very poor, which causes its frontal combat ability to be very weak. However, according to my master, it is one of the most dangerous creatures in the black pine forest, because of the thorny tentacles on its back. Nightmare Weave is a master of ambushes, and when hunting, it will stretch those tentacles nearly ten meters away, and then camouflage its main body and wait for its prey to pass nearby. The barbs woven by Nightmare are very sharp and carry a special toxin that gives the attacked prey little time to react, as the toxin takes effect instantly, leaving the poisoned creature in a hallucination. Then, as we have just experienced, the nightmare woven tentacles have digestive functions, and the mucus on them will gradually soften the tissues of the prey, and finally eat them in one bite with the toothless mouth of the abdomen. ”

"You just said that its neck and head are disguised?" Duqi crouched next to the monster's corpse and activated his dissection skill at the same time. A few flashes of white light flashed as he got a sharp barb and three crystal clear tentacles.

"Haha...... Brother Duqi, your dissection skills are not good! Hanekawa laughed heartlessly a few times, ignoring Du Qi's aggrieved gaze, and continued to explain, "Yes! Because Nightmare Weave has no eyes or ears at all, and relies on tentacles to sense the vibrations of the air. As you can see, its mouth grows on its abdomen, and its brain actually grows slightly higher. As for the part above the neck, what can I say...... It's like our hair or fingernails, even if it is completely cut off, it won't affect it much. ”

"Also, you said that this monster only haunts the depths of the jungle!" Du Qi suddenly grasped the point, "To tell you the truth, I also saw a nightmare weave in the green forest in the southwest before. However, it was not in a state of non-existence at the time, and when I sensed that it was approaching, I fled first. ”

"That's right! So I suspect that something unusual must have happened in the depths of the forest to cause these monsters to leave their habitats. ”

"Moreover, it is likely that this anomaly is related to previous attacks." Du Qi's face was a little gloomy, "This also means that there are likely to be more dangers in the future." Whether it's the attackers who can drive away the Nightmare Weave, or the powerful monsters who have been driven out of their territory. Hanekawa, do you still want to move on with me? ”

"Of course, I owe you a big favor now, Brother Duqi. Master has said that practitioners must never be ungrateful. ”

"Haha...... The little guy is really kind. Then I'll have to say it in advance, and if you encounter an irresistible danger, you just need to find a chance to escape. I...... I have some means to save my life, but only on myself and not for anyone else. ”

"You can rest assured of this! Although the master threw me into the forest, he didn't completely ignore it, and I had my own way to deal with problems. To be honest, even if Brother Duqi doesn't make a move just now, I still have a way to get out of the illusion. Though...... Some waste is it. ”
