Acoste was not at all surprised by this result, he had already obtained the trajectory of his mother's life from other sources, and now he just wanted to know the details of these past events. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's okay, you don't need to feel guilty about my mother, those lower-level creatures are here for her, strictly speaking, I should apologize to you, after all, you forest elves are implicated."

The half-elf sword saint helped up Quirune, he didn't resent the fact that the other party didn't hold his mother, because after all, the offender was a powerful team composed of a group of devil archdukes and demon lords, and even the projection was not something that ordinary people could deal with.

In other words, if these forest elves can really deal with even strong enemies, they won't have such a hard time facing the dark elves now......

"By the way, I have one more thing to ask you, this matter is more important to me!"

Acoste's face became serious again, extremely solemn.

"Have you seen a warrior monk in the forest lately, he...... He may not be in a good state, and he may be very evil from the outside. ”

"This man, we've met!"

Quirun also looked grim all of a sudden, and said heavily.

Acoste and Rei stayed in the forest elves' territory for one night and left early the next morning.

They didn't choose to personally help the forest elves defend themselves against the attacks of the dark elf army here, and the matter of the warrior monks was more urgent than ever, but Acoste didn't completely let it go, he gave Quirune a pair of starry night collar coordinates and a parchment scroll with his lord's mark, and the half-elf swordmaster promised that as long as the battle situation reached an irreparable level, she could use this coordinate to contact a female mage named Doris, and get an army of less than 1,000 people to help them turn the tide.

Following the coordinates given by the Queen of the Forest, the half-elf Sword Saint and Ling soon found a scene like hell in one direction......

In this leafy forest, there is a passage tens of meters wide that has been dug out by man, and all the trees that stand in the way have been vigorously broken, all the flowers and plants have withered, and the corpses of animals have paved the entire "passage", among which there are harmless rabbits, goats, and some very fierce magical creatures lying here.

"This ......"

Xiao Maiji was speechless in surprise, although these were not humanoids, but hundreds of corpses were crowded together and paved on the road, this scene was still very shocking......

"Let's follow the trails, quick!"

Yacoste's face became cold, and he chased down this bloody road first, and the Oriental Dancing Queen immediately woke up and followed with gritted silver teeth.

Along the way, the hearts of the two of them grew colder and colder, as they saw not only the corpses of beasts on the road behind, but also the corpses of many forest elves, dark elves, centaurs, and even individual humans.

It can be seen that Li Qing's killing and robbery is getting heavier and heavier, and he is getting farther and farther on the road of no return, and most of those creatures have nothing to do with the warrior monks, they are just passing by and then slaughtered by him......

After half a day, Acoste and Ling were already numb, and they chased to the front of a bottomless cave, needless to say, Li Qing must have run here.

"Prepare to go, get ready for battle."

Acoste had nothing to say now, Quirun had seen the evil monk shrouded in black mist and blood aura, and with everything in front of him and the ruined village outside the forest, it would have pale to say anything now.

He gave Ling an extra look and sighed slightly in his heart.

"Don't force yourself, if you can't accept the reality, you can wait for me here!"

"I know...... White, if that's the case, I'd rather make it end with my own hands! ”

Ling's pale face was covered with pear blossoms, her voice was choppy, and the dagger in her hand trembled very much.

But her eyes were very determined, and despite the mist, Acoste could read a resolute taste in the depths of her eyes.

"Then let's go."

Acoste nodded, he also held the Frost Sorrow and the Ash Messenger in his hand, the one that could attract Li Qing, or rather, the worm walker must not be a mortal thing, and there was a strange aura in this claustrophobic cave......

In addition, Li Qing was not weaker than himself before, and he was almost invincible in the world within the same level, and now that the evil thing has entered the master, the ghost knows what level his combat effectiveness has been raised, even if the warrior monk now enters the legendary half-elf sword saint, he will not be too surprised.

Holding a lighting stone, Acoste took the lead, Ling was on guard against the back of the half-elf sword saint, although Xiao Wuji still looked heartbroken, but in her heart she temporarily suppressed everything about Li Qing.

Now is not the time to be distracted, they didn't enter this kind of cave when they were still in the Scarlet Frost Flame Adventure Team, but every cave is a Jedi, making them dangerous.

Just after the two of them went some distance into the cave, a strange thing finally happened.

A yin wind blew, and both Acoste and Ling's hearts shuddered inexplicably, as if an invisible hand was brushing over their chests......

However, there was something unusual in them, and the lighting stone in their hands seemed to have been hit by some sharp weapon, and it shattered with a "poof" and fell to the ground as powder.

Immediately, the cave became invisible......

"Who ?!!" Acoste subconsciously roared, and the Ash Bringer in his left hand burst into flames, replacing the Illuminating Stone with a bright light in an instant, illuminating the cave once again.

"Owl!"

A shrill human-like creature sounded, and the unknown creature seemed to be afraid of the light, and quickly retreated the moment the Ember Bringer lit up, and it was so fast that even a legendary professional like Acoste could barely see a dark shadow disappear into the shadows.

"Acoste, what's that up ahead?"

Ling's voice sounded very uneasy, Dongfang Maiji had some special spell-like abilities, and they were all very sensitive to death threats, and it was obvious that Xiao Maihime had also sensed the aura emanating from that powerful creature just now.

"I don't know, but it should be afraid of the light, so let's move on."

The half-elf sword master shook his head and looked like he didn't care, but now if Xiao Wuji touched the other party's forehead, he would definitely notice the cold sweat that was covered in Yacoste.

It wasn't just that she sensed the terrifying aura......

Even a legendary professional like Acoste himself felt the fear that death was close at hand!

If it hadn't been for the swiftness of their own reaction and the Ashes Bringer one step earlier, the devil knows what they would have encountered now.

He told Dongfang Dancing that he didn't know what kind of creature it was, but in fact, it was also the truth, because it was just a glimpse just now, and no one could tell what the other party was from a shadow.

But when it comes to the environment in which the monster lives, the terrifying atmosphere, and the habit of being afraid of light, Acoste still lists a few monsters as candidates in his mind.

Among the candidate monsters in the hearts of these half-elf sword saints, the worst strength is also the Digging Dragon Beast, and as for the most powerful, it is to make all professionals smell it and turn into a dark nightmare.

This nightmare is not the flaming warhorses of hell.

They are formless and incorporeal, composed of souls, and are used as energy by resentment, these monsters are very rare on the main plane, because the formation conditions of the dark nightmare are too harsh, they must be extremely powerful mages in front of them, and they must have great resentment before death, and they also need the environment of the cave that cannot see the sun all day long to be generated, so at least 70% of the people in the main plane do not know the existence of such monsters.

But correspondingly, their individual strength is very strong.

He has soul power comparable to that of a half-lich, the ability to absorb the life energy of all the living, and one of the best illusion skills on the main plane.

All the illusionists who claim to be powerful are as cute as clowns in their eyes, and all the prey that accidentally strays into their traps are as weak as puppets that have been pulled into their traps, and they have no resistance at all, and they can only get tired of the other party if they want to die......

Their only weakness is their fear of light and fire, and beyond that, there is probably nothing else on the main plane that can kill them except for artifacts.

"Don't be them!"

The half-elf swordmaster secretly prayed in his heart, and he shook the ash bringer in his hand vigorously, even though it was an extraordinary weapon, Yacoste's heart was still a little unsure.

While Acoste was thinking wildly, a faint light suddenly penetrated into the eternal darkness on his side, and the half-elf Sword Saint and Ling immediately lifted their spirits, and they ran over in three steps and two steps, leaving this claustrophobic narrow corridor at once.

The smell of fresh earth mixed with the fragrance of flowers and plants came, and Acoste and Little Maihime froze at once, and they looked stupidly at the vast forest in front of them, a little suspicious that they had fallen into some powerful illusion, or if someone had set up some spatial mechanism in that cave, and they ran back the same way again.

A forest at the end of the depths of the earth? How is this possible? It took them a total of 5 or 6 minutes to enter the cave just now, and in between it gave him the feeling that it was definitely running all the way down.

Unless there is an illusionist with a professional level of more than 30, it is absolutely impossible for a mage on this main plane to use illusions to confuse himself for such a long time, and those dark nightmares cannot let themselves be confused for such a long time!

Acoste looked up at the red sun in the sky, and the few white clouds floating in the sky, he couldn't help but pinch his face hard, the sharp pain was not false.

"Acoste, look at the sun in the sky, it's weird!"

Just when the half-elf sword saint was puzzled, Ling, who had always been careful, suddenly shouted as if she had found something, and Acoste squinted his eyes suspiciously and looked in the direction of Xiao Wuji's finger, and his heart was suddenly shocked......

There was something strange about this round of sun, and there was a small black metal wrap around its edge, and it would never be possible to find such a subtle feature without careful observation.

"Is this an artificial sun?"

The Half-Elf Sword Master felt a little incredible, and he quickly rushed to the side of a large tree and grabbed the trunk of a large tree with all his might.

An incredible scene appeared, Acoste couldn't catch the dry bark under the blow with all his might, you must know that his absolute strength is now at 30 points, because of the size of the mountain, he can't move mountains and reclaim the sea, but if he is sincere and pure strength with any creature, even the giants will be willing to bow down.

The unbelieving half-elf Sword Saint folded his fingers into a fist, and he screamed and struck at the trunk, this time the thin layer of bark finally couldn't resist it, and was hammered out of a small hole by Acoster.

Then an unbelievable scene happened, a sound of gears turning came from the inside of the big tree, and Acoste and Ling looked at it and found that the inside of the big tree was not hollow like ordinary trees, but was made up of complex mechanical parts one by one......

The Half-Elf Swordmaster then let out a long roar, and he swung the Ember Messenger and slashed hard at the ground, instantly turning a layer of lawn over and over the ground.

Then Acoste and Ling were even more speechless by the scene in front of them.

The entire center of the earth was completely hollowed out, and the huge brackets made of metal were constantly running, and these sophisticated instruments were connected together, and in the center of them were several complex magic formations, which converted the kinetic energy formed by the rotation of the gears into various energies, and turned them into wind, fire, water and earth and several major elemental energies into the forest on the surface.

"This, this is actually a mechanical forest? Where are we, have we entered the mirror of nirvana of the clock and watch machinery? ”

The Half-Elf Sword Master couldn't help but mutter, how could there be such an artificial forest created by purely mechanical means in this kind of world, even if it was impossible to put together the spellcaster groups of the Santarin Society and the Masked Mage Society.

The only one who could accomplish such a feat was the Arcane Empire, when technology was at its peak, and magic combined with craftsmanship had developed and crafted to the point where the gods feared it.

So, could it be that this is a relic of the Arcane Empire, and the warrior monk actually ran to such a place?

None of the ruins of the Arcane Empire are any good places, and if this place is really as the half-elf swordmaster thinks, then the dark nightmares that appeared in the cave at the beginning are understandable.

I remember that at the beginning they encountered the arcane laboratory in Am, which was full of experiments using the combination of gods and demons, and finally there was a monster that was invincible, if they weren't lucky, maybe Acoste would have died by then. (To be continued.) )
