The nightmare beast felt a chill run through its throat, as if a cold, slippery snake was wriggling in its esophagus, retching as hard as it could, trying to spit out the terrible foreign object.

Fawkes seized the opportunity to lunge up to the Nightmare Behemoth, raising his iron rod and smashing it into the head.

The Nightmare Behemoth leaped to the side to dodge the menacing slam, but a sudden colicing in its abdomen interrupted its movements, and the Iron Staff of the Trap Titan fell, shattering its left fangs with a click.

At the same time, it was attacked from inside and outside its body, and the severe pain prevented the Nightmare Behemoth from focusing on the battle, let alone casting spells, and in desperation, it had to kneel at the feet of the Mechanism Titan, and was forced to make a gesture of submission.

Fawkes canceled the "Body of War" and returned to its original form, and summoned the Mercury Golem with the "Psychic Connection".

"Come back, Lolita."

The nightmare beast suddenly felt a wave of nausea, and involuntarily opened its mouth wide and vomited. A stream of silver fluid mixed with blood slid out of the depths of his throat.

The silver fluid shook slightly after hitting the ground, and slowly stood up. At the same time, the filth of blood and gastric juice on her body peeled off the smooth surface of her liquid metal skin, and the mercury golem reverted back to its beautiful girl form with a double ponytail.

……

The "Weeping Forest" is a poignant scenery on Rubik's Cube Island, with dense tree tops that shade the sun, and are always dark day and night. If anyone dares to trespass into the woods, stop and listen, and they will perceive the sound of singing coming from the depths of the dark forest.

If the listener is a delicate and affectionate person, perhaps from this sad song will think of a girl who has lost her beloved and is crying in the woods, and can't help but want to walk quickly to her to offer comfort; For those wanderers who have left home, this sad song will evoke the sorrow of parting, and make them believe that the song points the way home; Only the most determined can hear the signs of ill intentions in this sad song, like a cold wind blowing from a lonely grave, warning them to stay away from this dangerous forest.

In the dense forest where the singing lingers, a strange scene appears at this moment: a pale palm emerges out of thin air, and the translucent texture is like a ghost.

The "ghost hand" hung in the air and trembled slightly, as if receiving some kind of signal, and suddenly began to move, directly penetrating the trees blocking the way, and fluttering in the direction from which the song came.

About 200 feet behind the ghost's hand, a petite figure was walking through the dense forest, dressed in a black robe, wearing a witch's hat, and holding an ebony staff inlaid with speckled indigostone.

Ajelina, the "Black Witch" of Beacon Mountain, is shrouded in dark negative energy, which complements the eerie atmosphere of the jungle. Not far from her, the "Phantom Knight" Graham carried a black giant sword in his arms, the heavy armor seemed to have no substance, and if the trees stood in the way, he went straight through the trees and silently.

Ajelina hasn't encountered a single beast in the woods along the way, but that doesn't mean the trip through the Weeping Forest is safe, as it is home to creatures more dangerous than the beasts - the Treants who have been cursed by the Ancient Owl and turned into the evil camp.

These strange creatures, half-human, half-tree, can transform their roots into legs and walk slowly, but when they are still, they look like a normal tree. If a wild beast or an outsider walks by them, the fallen Treant will suddenly come to life, swinging its branches and frantically whipping those who are too careless to kill them as a sacrifice to the ancient owl.

Shortly after entering the Weeping Forest, Ajelina realizes that the Fallen Treants are a potential threat, so she blesses the Truth Technique in advance, and no matter how realistic the Fallen Treants' disguise is, it can't fool her eyes.

The "ghost hand" dangling in the air suddenly stopped, and not far from it, a large tree with yellow leaves in the shape of duck webs stood tall, and at first glance everything seemed normal.

Distracted, Ajelina remotely controls the ghost's hand to approach the tree while performing a series of gestures to perform the "Blighting Technique".

This 5-ring necromantic arcane can be described as the nemesis of plants, ordinary flowers and trees can die at the touch of a button, and plant-type magical creatures will also suffer heavy damage. The fly in the ointment is that this is a spell that requires touching the recipient to cast, and for a witch with a weak constitution like Ajelina, touching a rampaging monster up close is undoubtedly a big risk.

The "Ghost Hand" can touch the target instead of the caster, but has a restriction that it can only perform spells with 4 rings or less. Fortunately, the pale ring that Ajelina wears is made from the lich's phalanges, and its magic power can strengthen the "ghost hand" and break the level limit of conduction spells.

Ajelina remotely controlled the "ghost hand" to float to the unknown tree, and the moment she touched it, the "withering technique" was transmitted through the air, and the tree trembled violently as if it had been struck by lightning, and the branches and leaves quickly withered and withered. The fallen treeman, who has been lurking in the forest to attack its prey all year round, never dreamed that he would be attacked again, and let out a terrified roar in the wood language, and the roots broke through the dirt and rolled out, twisted into two lower limbs, and slowly got up and walked with steps, trying to avoid the touch of the "ghost hand".

"Graham......" the Black Witch whispered to the Trials Helper, "get rid of it." ”

The Nether Knight bowed slightly, and then strode towards the fallen treemen. As he charged, the decapitating greatsword inlaid with Nether Gems on his shoulder flicked up and swung forward.

Swish! A silver glow flashed through the dim forest, and the fallen treeman was cut off by the giant sword and fell to the ground.

Ajelina lifted the brim of her hat and stepped over the corpse of the fallen treeman.

The closer they got to the middle of the woods, the clearer the sad song became, and through a natural screen of vines, Ajelina and Graham finally came to the place where the "Ancient Owl" grew.

In the middle of the woods a large and spacious clearing was exposed, and a towering tree with a pitch-black body towered in the middle of the clearing, and the trunk of the tree protruded large and small tumors, as if the internal organs exposed to the bark of the tree, slowly wriggled in the same rhythm, and the dense branches were like wild snakes dancing, and the sound of breaking the wind played a terrifying scream.

"This evil and awe-inspiring magic tree is the legendary 'Ancient Owl Tree'......" Ajelina muttered to herself, her eyes moving downward, and she saw countless white bones piled up under the tree, and the outsiders who mistakenly entered the "Weeping Forest" were all buried under the tree, using the corrupted flesh to add fertility to the soil and nourish the magic tree that killed them.
