After a night's rest, Su Ming, who was full of energy, went to the witch's forest this time without taking Luo Ran with him, and let the other party stay in the hotel to rest.

With the extra information he received from the four special heroes, coupled with the strange threat before he left yesterday, Su Ming instinctively felt that this dungeon trip might be different from the normal situation.

It's definitely easier to make sure you can get out of it than to protect two people at the same time.

For the sake of safety, it is better to go it alone.

Now Su Ming, who has a complete embodied deck in his hand, plus a variety of treasure cards that have been rewarded recently, can be regarded as having a lot of hole cards, and even if he encounters any accidents, he has sufficient means to react.

Not to mention anything else, the entry condition set by the Glory Star World for the Witch Forest dungeon is "the number of embodied mana crystals is less than or equal to 5", according to Su Ming's understanding, this should also represent the "upper limit" of the difficulty of the dungeon.

If there is an enemy in the copy that can only be defeated by a strong person with 6 crystals or even 7 crystals, then it means that "it cannot be attacked", and naturally there is no possibility of saving the copy.

Because of this, with the system rising to level 4, Su Ming, who holds 4 mana crystals, plus the assistance of various hole cards, his strength can almost be regarded as the ceiling level that the witch forest dungeon is allowed to enter, and theoretically speaking, there can be no enemies that he can't even deal with.

……

After sorting out his thoughts, just like the previous times, he still relied on the advantage that no one knew his true appearance, and swaggered into the entrance of the dungeon with a sea of people, and after some time and space distortion and fluctuations, Su Ming, who was down-to-earth, suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"I have a big groove, it turns out that Hagasha is playing for real!"

Looking at the "Witch Forest" in front of him, which had changed dramatically, Su Ming couldn't help but gasp!

When I came with Luo Ran a few times before, the environment in the dungeon should be regarded as the feeling of "primeval forest", and the biggest difference is that time is always in a state of night, so the visual effect is a little eerie.

However, in the copy space that Su Ming entered this time, the scene that appeared in front of him could be described as a great change in heaven and earth.

It was still night, yes, but the entire forest was shrouded in a thick fog that could not be seen from the fingers, and it was almost impossible to discern the surroundings except for the surroundings.

Looking up at the night sky, even with the heavy fog and the huge canopy of trees, Su Ming could still see the strange blue moonlight.

Compared to the blue moon in the normal dungeon, the moon situation that appeared this time was even more weird, and the moonlight sprinkled gave people a sense of uneasiness that was cold all over the body......

Not to mention the surrounding environment, nine out of ten ancient trees and shrubs in various forests have completely died, and the only remaining single seedling is also dying.

The death was even more "tragic", the trunk and branches were bent and entangled, as if they had been twisted into that terrifying appearance by some powerful force......

calmed down a little, but fortunately, the path for the players to go to the fork in the copy still existed, Su Ming quietly raised his vigilance, and carefully touched the direction of the small town of Gilneth in his memory.

The method he found to enter the virtual battle space was on the second floor of the tavern in the town by substituting into the room of a special hero to "rest", so Su Ming's first reaction was the same way.

After more than an hour, Su Ming, who finally arrived at the door of the tavern in the town, looked at the building in front of him that was entwined with all kinds of dry vines and barbed thorns that exuded the smell of decay, and sighed a little disappointed:

"Sure enough, I've guessed that something is going to be wrong here, and it seems that there is still no chance of survivor bias."

Su Ming's impression was that after the witch forest entered the dungeon, there were a total of three routes at the forked intersection.

Crossing the river to the opposite forest is a realistic boss battle, because of the emergence of the special battle mode, this path is now not many people will try;

Follow the river, head downstream, and at the end is the small town of Gilneis, which is the method that Su Ming has chosen many times, entering the virtual battle space through the tavern;

But now that the path to the tavern has been "blocked", it is obvious that there is only one last option left for Su Ming:

Grope your way upstream to the forest creek in search of the source of everything.

Or to put it more accurately:

Face the man behind the scenes, the witch Hagasha!

……

When Su Ming finally groped for the source of the river under the thick fog, and saw the crucible placed in the clearing, as well as the eerie wooden witch's hut not far away, he instantly realized that he had come to the right place.

Holding his breath and concentrating, he sneaked to the front of the hut, ran the exercise to surround all the 4 mana crystals that had just been condensed around him, took out the [Ice Barrier] manifestation spell card from the card box, and activated the charge to give himself an insurance first.

Although it is said that an epic spell like the refrigerator is equivalent to burning 400 points of energy once, Su Ming is now at the stage where he has a lot of energy in his hand and cannot be spent, and for his own safety, he will definitely not be stingy with such a thing.

The moment he touched the door of the house, an irresistible familiar spatial force came, and the scene in front of Su Ming's eyes suddenly distorted!

When he was able to clearly see the surrounding environment again, the Hearthstone battle chessboard that appeared again directly showed Su Ming the environment he was in, and as for the green-skinned old witch with a blue hood standing on the other side of the chessboard, the identity was even more self-evident:

Hagasa the Witch!

"Hehehehe...... Stupid adventurer, I've been waiting for you for a long time......"

"Look behind you, such powerful heroes are bound within my territory, and you...... It's about to be my fifth trophy! ”

Su Ming, who appeared in the "virtual battle space", naturally attracted the attention of the witch Hagasha, and the other party suddenly began to whisper a gloomy threat.

Su Ming subconsciously looked back, and there were indeed four humanoid "vines" tightly wrapped around the hero wrapped inside.

"Well, if you extrapolate from this plot......"

Looking at the scene in the virtual battle space, Su Ming immediately quickly calculated in his heart, and summarized the information in his memory about the "Witch Forest's final boss Hagasha".

"Tess and Crowley are from the Kingdom of Gilneis, and they should have been the first to be trapped by Hagartha......"

"Time tinkerer Toki, controlling the timeline, can be regarded as passing by the witch forest and lying down, but in order to pass on the message to me, it is estimated that the strength has also been lost now......"

"Then, there is a special hero, which should be the key to triggering the virtual battle space!"
