Chapter 174: Raven Forest

The Crow Forest is located in the southeast of the village of Qiming, and most of the trees on the sky island are taller than those on the blue sea, so this forest looks very empty and vast, and there is an unfathomable darkness inside, and it seems to have a sinister ripple.

Before Bucky came to the Raven Forest, he went back to the Bikudopp to take a look, and sure enough, the Leaky who was on the ship was gone, and not only that, but also the mechanical body of Spal was gone.

Looking at that situation, he already knew in his heart that this sudden "divine hidden" seemed to be coming towards his group of people purposefully.

"This is the entrance to the Raven Forest." Bender looked at the dark forest in front of him, let out a long breath, and his palms inevitably sweated, but his face still looked serious, and the tension in his eyes was hidden by him.

Lilina looked up at the towering trees and asked, "Is this the only way we can go?" ”

Bender explained: "There is also a route to the empty island territory of the god of Nirok, but there will be a place where the three gods are fighting, not only that, but the inventory of that route is very strict, I am now wanted by the god of Nirok, if you pass through there, you will be 100% caught by the monsters under the god of Niro, although this crow forest is not an ordinary road, but compared to the route of the land where the three gods are at war, it will be much safer and more reliable!" ”

"It's all here, just keep going." Bucky nodded at Bender's explanation, and walked towards the Raven Forest, with Lilina and Bender following suit.

As soon as he stepped into the Raven Forest, Bucky felt a cool air coming from behind, and the huge trees in the forest covered the sky and the sun, and it was dark, as if there was an invisible barrier separating the inside and outside of the forest, each forming a dark and a light world.

Lilina, who was still a little indifferent on her face, began to take small steps nervously, and grabbed Bucky's clothes tightly: "It feels a little oozing here......"

Bucky patted Lilina's hand on his shoulder as a gesture of reassurance, then took a few steps forward, looking around in the light darkness.

The structure of the trees in the Crow Forest is different from that of the outermost circle of towering trees, the trees here are about three or four meters high, the top of the tree is a tough triangle, and the leaves on both sides of the canopy are like open wings, in the darkness rendering and backdrop, like a crow raising its head and barking.

If there was only one tree with such a strange shape, it would only make people marvel at the magic of nature, but now it is not one, but all trees are in this strange shape, and it looks very strange and eerie.

"No wonder it's called the Crow Forest, and for a reason......" Bucky muttered in a low voice, turning to the few people behind him, "gone." ”

Bender staggered past Bucky, cold sweat already breaking out on his forehead, and his expression began to look a little unnatural.

"Hey, Bender!" Bucky noticed Bender's expression and looked sideways at the other party, "You...... Haven't you ever been here? ”

"Who, who said that!" Bender argued with reason, "How can there be a place where my shortsword warrior hasn't been!" ”

"I can't believe it......" Bucky took out a lamp made of light shells from Bender's house, lit it, and paced forward.

After walking for another ten minutes, the light at the entrance was no longer visible, only a layer of hazy darkness remained, and the surrounding crows and trees were like staring at a pair of invisible eyes, which made people feel absurd that they had been staring at all the time.

"Ahh Lilina suddenly screamed, and Bucky quickly turned around, "What's wrong?" ”

Lilina pressed her palm her chest, and said nervously, "I...... Good just now...... It's like seeing a pair of red eyes, right on the top of that tree!! ”

Bucky knocked the light shell over, frowned and asked, "Where?" ”

Lilina pointed to one of the trees in the woods, "That's the tree!" ”

Bucky followed her direction and looked up, and the crow tree was pitch black, and he didn't see any red eyes, and he couldn't see any clues.

He turned around and tried to comfort Lilina: "It must be that the too light and dark environment here has caused you to have an illusion after your vision is tired." ”

Lilina nodded slightly, and did not retort out loud.

After Bucky finished speaking, he thought about it again, and asked Bender, who was holding a light shell lamp and looking around with a thief's eyebrows, "Since you've been here, what should you know?" ”

Seeing Bucky's gaze fall on him, Bender immediately straightened his back: "I...... I ......"

After being speechless for a long time, he suddenly withered again, "I don't know." ”

Just as he looked at Bender, Bucky's eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a red light flashing in the gloomy forest, and he quickly threw the light shell lamp on the ground, and instantly stepped on the ground with his right foot more than a dozen times in a row, and disappeared in place.

When he reappeared, he was already about ten meters away from the red-glowing crow tree, and Bucky stepped on it again, rushing in front of the red-light after using the second shave.

At this moment, Bucky finally saw clearly what the red light was, it was a pair of blood-red eyes, and the owner of these eyes opened his bloody mouth and immediately bit down on Bucky.

Bucky was in the wrong shape, dodging the monster's bite, then went around to it, grabbed the opponent's body directly from behind with both hands, and then the loach-like body slipped out of Bucky's hand with a "swish", and the monster flapped its wings and was about to escape.

Touching the viscous liquid in his hand, Bucky's eyes flashed with a sharp flash, and he instantly jumped high, jumped into the air above the monster, and volleyed into the opponent's body, kicking it hard to the ground.

Rumble!

The monster was kicked to the ground, and a dull cloud of smoke and dust was raised, and there was no more sound.

Bucky fell to the ground, bent down to pick up the monster on the ground, and held it firmly in the palm of his hand, only then did he look carefully, this monster is not big, about a meter long, and its body structure is like a snake, but it is different from a snake in that it has a pair of wings.

In the blink of an eye, the monster's body slowly stiffened, and layers of disgusting powder fell from its body as if it were peeling off its skin.

Bender and Lilina walked over with a light shell lamp, and under the illumination of the light, the appearance of this monster was seen more clearly, the original pale cyan snake was now covered with dense white powder, and the two blue and gray wings hung down weakly.

"What is this?" Bucky tossed the winged snake to the ground and asked Bender.

Bender squatted down, brought the light shell lamp in his hand slightly closer, and swallowed with a serious face: "This should be...... The stone statue flying snake is a creature created by the Nilok god based on the snake, with the same flying ability as birds, and legend has it that this stone statue flying snake can not only perceive people's hearts, but also breed and guide the evil and ** in the hearts of human beings, so for the Nilok god who originally had a sincere heart, this creature has been sealed in an unknown place as a failure...... I didn't expect to appear here, and the god of Nirok, who began to use this creature to do evil, has indeed fallen and gone crazy......"

"Gargoyle Flying Serpent......" Bucky rubbed the powder off his hands, "Is this a stone chip?" ”

"This is the scale powder produced by the death of the Flying Snake, and this scale powder will attract other Flying Snakes......"

Before Bender's words fell, a pair of red eyes suddenly opened in the darkness around him, staring at Bucky and the others in all directions, and then countless stone statues and flying snakes flapped their wings and swarmed in, and the sharp and sharp screams from their mouths made people feel numb.

"Arashi. Moon White Jade! ”

Knowing that something was wrong, Bucky made an instant decision, spun his right foot apart and spun several times, and suddenly swung a white disc-shaped slashing air stream in the darkness.

The dense red light in the darkness suddenly disappeared, and the body of the stone statue flying snake fell straight to the ground after being hit, and the scales on its body gargled down.

However, the Gargoyle Flying Serpent was surrounded from all sides, and no matter how fast Bucky's attacks were, he couldn't attack in multiple directions at the same time.

Fortunately, Bucky was not alone, the silk thread in Lilina's hand ejected out, forming a thin elastic net in the air, and immediately wrapped the body of a group of stone statues flying snakes that rushed over, and with their momentum, they threw and intercepted the stone statues flying snakes rushing towards them.

Bender finally drew his short knife, and a "Z" light slashed through the air, and more than a dozen stone snakes fluttered their wings and fell to the ground.

Out of the corner of his eye, Bucky glanced at Bender, who finally made a move, and then grabbed a stone snake that was about to bite his neck, and threw it heavily on the ground.

His palms have been covered with armed color domineering, and he can almost knock down a stone statue flying snake with one punch, but the number of stone statue flying snakes is too large, and there is no way to defend all of his body.

In the blink of an eye, Bucky, Lilina, and Bender were approached and enveloped by a swarm of locusts.

"Annoying stuff!"

Bucky kept dodging, but these stone snakes were like appendages, constantly entangled, and his body had been bitten with many scars.

After all, his Devil Fruit ability and elementalization are fundamentally different, if it is elementalization, he doesn't have to be afraid that these stone statues flying snakes will cause damage to him, but even after he is torn apart, he is still a physical body, if he is really bitten off by this flying snake and swallowed into it, it will be a big trouble!

"Low frequency...... Gun array!! ”

Facing wave after wave of stone statues and flying snakes, Bucky finally couldn't bear it anymore, the arms in his clothes suddenly vibrated in pieces, and the fingers of his hands stretched out, stabbing in several directions.

Once the Gargoyle Flying Snake is stabbed by Bucky, it will fall down, not only that, but the row behind the falling Gargoyle Flying Snake will be affected by the finger gun, although it is only a low-frequency vibration, but with the speed of the shot to make up for it, the penetration formed by this move has been able to cause damage to the subsequent Gargoyle Flying Snake, and each damage will be stacked together to form a terrible power.

With Bucky's frantic attack, the stone statue flying snake was like a mosquito smoked by mosquitoes, and it landed on the ground in large areas, and in just a few breaths, it had become sparse.

Because of the reason why he cleared up quickly, the unintelligent stone statue flying snakes around Lilina and Bender flew towards Bucky, and Bucky did not stop, and continued to clean up these annoying stone statues flying snakes around him one by one with his arms vibrating.

Finally, after killing the last Gargoyle Serpent, Bucky let out a long sigh of relief as he sat down on the pile of Gargoyle corpses, feeling that his physical strength was almost at its limit.

If it was just on the blue sea, it wouldn't be so embarrassing, but the air on the sky island was too thin, and once he wielded his power, he would involuntarily feel a sense of dizziness in his mind, which made Bucky even more uncomfortable than the injuries on his body.

Lilina also slumped on the ground, her originally neat and clean hair became a mess, and her clothes became tattered, and Bender was from the Sky Island, more adapted to the environment of the Sky Island, and compared with Bucky, he had more physical strength than the two, he withdrew the short knife in his hand, and supported his hands on his knees, like an athlete who had just finished a hundred meters, and gasped in a low voice.

Looking at the hundreds of stone statues and flying snakes on the ground, Bender said intermittently, "We...... Still...... Let's go, here...... So many stone statues have died...... Flying snakes, their scales are powdery...... Fear...... Will attract more flying snakes......"

Bucky endured the dizziness in his mind, stood up, and said helplessly: "Indeed, if there is another wave of gargoyle flying snakes, it will really be dead......

He reached out and pulled Lilina up as well, "This is not the time to rest. ”

"I see." Lilina slowly stood up, took out a thin piece of clothing from the package and draped it over herself, and then lifted the light shell lamp on the ground.

Seeing Lilina wrapped up, Bender reluctantly took his eyes off her.

Bucky patted all the scales on his body and walked forward as he asked, "You...... Are you sure this path is going to be safer? ”

Bender replied, "If it were another route to the land where the three gods were at war, it would be ten times more dangerous than here. ”

Several people cautiously continued to move forward, but fortunately, they did not see stone statues and flying snakes surrounding them.

In the darkness with only light shell lamps, Bucky stopped with a solemn face, he looked up at the surroundings and the pile of stone statue flying snake corpses in front of him, stretched out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips, looked at Bender and Lilina, "We, back again......"
