Chapter 19: The Wizard of the Jungle

By the time Shoko staggered to his feet, the Soul Mark had already sent out a prompt: "Your team killed the Twisted War Ancient Tree, each of them gained 630 soul points, and you were randomly assigned to the item Ancient Tree Fiber × 2."

Funeral Sky and Kane each received a young leaf from the Tree of Life, and Kane also received an additional piece of War Ancient Tree bark, which can be used on armor to increase defense by 10 points.

Xiao Ke said to Fu Tian: "Why didn't you say such a powerful monster earlier, you were almost killed by it!" ”

Fu Tian said angrily: "I'm just familiar with the terrain and some common monsters, and it's the first time I've come to the real battle!" Do you really think I'm omniscient?! ”

The elf girl smiled at Xiao Ke and said, "This time you know that the iron sheet can't stop anything, right?" See how dare you brag! However, it is also your bad luck, the Emerald Forest Sea on the first floor of the temple only opens two parallel spaces to the trialists: the Dryad Forest and here, but in comparison, the jungle dwarf lair is much more difficult, the team on the first floor only cleared the record here twice, each time the team of 5 people was full, and spent a high price in the Helen Great Temple to hire several powerful elven warriors in order to finally kill the jungle dwarf wizard. ”

She paused for a moment, then said, "Although in the historical records, before the formation of the jungle dwarven lair, our clan was indeed robbed of an ancient war tree, but these two clearance records do not mention that they encountered the ancient war tree, it seems that you are simply unlucky!" ”

After hearing this, Xiao Ke and the three looked at each other, and at this time, a deep voice suddenly sounded in the consciousness of the four: "Mighty invaders, my soldiers have been wiped out by you one by one, my ally arachnid elves have been killed by you, and my most courageous servant War Ancient Tree has fallen under your merciless blade, now, come to me, and face the wrath of the greatest wizard Zangara!" ”

Xiao Ke and the others looked at each other, secretly shocked in their hearts, being able to send the voice directly into the consciousness of Xiao Ke and the four of them from such a distance, the spirit of this jungle wizard is afraid to be very high, high enough to surprise a few people. However, the final goal is already close at hand, and nothing can stop Shoko's footsteps.

The group walked towards the place where the Ancient War Tree had come from, and after walking less than a kilometer, they came to the heart of the Skinning Jungle, where the Jungle Dwarves lived. The buildings here are chaotic, ranging from holes dug directly in trees to tents built haphazardly out of animal skins and bones.

Also digging holes in trees, elves are not only beautiful, but also inhabited by trees that are vibrant, while trees inhabited by jungle dwarves are on the verge of death, if not dead. But in the open space in the middle of the dwelling, there was a commendable building, a brass altar, shaped like a small pyramid, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and at the top of the altar was placed a chair of pure black, of which it was impossible to tell what material it was made of.

The Great Wizard of the Jungle Dwarf sat on the chair and looked at the Shawco and the others condescendingly. He resembles other dwarfs in appearance, with a strange head, but he is not as short as the other dwarves, at least the height of a normal person, he wears a wooden mask on his head, the mask is surrounded by colorful feathers, and he holds a staff, the top of the staff is a silver skull, and in the middle of the skull's forehead, inlaid with a dark gem, as if an eye was born on the forehead.

In the entire dwelling place of the jungle dwarves, only the Great Wizard sat alone on the altar, and there was no one else. When his gaze met Xiao Ke's, Xiao Ke's heart trembled, as if he saw his past self, that kind of eyes, it was a madness intertwined with sadness, anger and despair! Xiao Ke's heart suddenly rose inexplicably restless, and an irrepressible evil fire suddenly rose in his heart.

The hoarse and deep voice of the Great Wizard rang in everyone's ears: "Intruder, why are you here? ”

Xiao Ke was rarely silent, and Fu Tian glanced at Xiao Ke in surprise, and replied: "Why are we here, you can't understand it when I tell you, let's talk less nonsense, let's fight when we fight!" ”

However, the Grand Wizard said, "Is it really that mysterious and complicated? Trialist! You're here just because: Kill us, and you'll be rewarded by the temple! ”

It's like a bolt from the blue!

Elena was the first to exclaim, "This can't be! How could you possibly know this? ”

The Great Wizard smiled lowly: "Hehehe, yes, whether it is my life or my memory, it will not exist for more than one day at most, and then it will be refreshed, and the cycle will be repeated, endless, I shouldn't know this, but I just know!" ”

Speaking of this, the Great Wizard suddenly asked Xiao Ke, "Your name is Xiao Ke, right?" ”

Xiao Ke bared his teeth and said, "Your knowledge is really promising!" ”

"Hehehe, I've been following you ever since you entered this parallel space. In your mind, what kind of race are we jungle dwarves? ”

Xiao Ke said: "Fierce, barbaric and very obscene!" ”

The Grand Wizard chuckled under his breath, "I have reservations about your last comment. Yes, my race is fierce and savage, but we are not as evil as the arachnids, just because we are fierce and savage, do we deserve such a cruel fate? Never-ending torture, never-ending slaughter, never-ending deception, this is the fate that the god of fate has woven for us, and we can't even die! ”

"So what? Thou sorrow, thou shalt be lost, thou hast called heaven and not earth to be spiritual, so what? Xiao Ke clenched his fists hard, and even trembled slightly because of his emotions, he didn't know how long he hadn't experienced the feeling of losing control of his emotions: "Are you saying that these are trying to win our sympathy?" Then let me tell you, no matter how miserable you are, I will still step on your corpse! ”

"That's right!" The Grand Wizard whispered, "You will surely trample me under your feet, for I am in your way. But O brave and fearless, after thou hast seen the fate of my people, have thou ever thought of what fate awaits you at the end of the path thou shalt take? ”

For the first time, Shoko's usual flamboyant laughter was replaced by a low voice: "You want to instigate us to rebel against fate? Believe me, this is not new to me. Before I came to the Temple, my life's goal was to make those who thought they could control the fate of others pay the price, but now, what you want to rebel against is an object of despair, or at least I don't see any hope. You're so weak, especially now, you're so weak that you shock me, you can't even beat me, and you're still talking nonsense about rebellion against fate? The weak are not qualified to resist! ”

At this time, Xiao Ke's face lost its cynical smile, and was replaced by a madness released with his eyes, and at this moment, the momentum exuded by Xiao Ke's body made his three companions shudder. Even the wind wolf burial heaven felt unprecedented danger on Xiao Ke at this moment. He couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ke deeply, and re-examined this man who was more rebellious than himself in his heart.

The Great Wizard suddenly let out a hearty laugh: "Dreadnought, it turns out that you are looking for hope, then, I will send you a seed of hope." You're right, I'm so weak that I can't even stand up. But you think you can easily defeat me? I am the greatest sorcerer of the jungle people, Zangara, I have lost my strength because I gave everything to my faith, now, let Zangara see, how do you face your true heart? ”

After speaking, Zangara slammed the staff, the skull at the top of the staff shattered, and the black gem in the middle of the skeleton's forehead suddenly emitted a strange black ghost, the ghost light rotated, and suddenly exuded an incomparably huge gravitational force, and the four of Xiao Ke felt that their minds were blank, and when they were awake, their consciousness had been pulled to another dimension.

When Kane's consciousness came to his senses, he found that he was alone in a space composed of black, where there was no sky, no earth, no boundaries, only pure black, but in this pure black, Kane was surprised to find that everywhere was so bright, there was no trace of light here, but it was brighter than the world with light.

But before Kane could feel the magic of this space, his enemy appeared, and it was another Kane made of black!

Although Kane himself is black, he never thought that he would be so dark, and even the giant hammer in his hand is made of black. Kane looked at the black self in front of him and asked, "Who are you?" Where is this? What about my friends? ”

The black Kane let out an insolent laugh that Kane had never had: "Kane, don't you understand? This is the space of consciousness that loads your soul, and I, to be you, to be exact, I am the real Kane, who has stripped away all your hypocrisy and pointed straight to your heart. ”

Kane was unmoved: "I am who I am, how can there be many differences, now it seems that only by defeating you can I go out to help my friends?" ”

Black Kane smiled: "That's right, but my suggestion is that you better die here so that I can get out in your place, and at that time, I will let the world know how powerful the real Kane is!" ”

Kane didn't say a word, just silently picked up the giant hammer and swept towards the black Kane, but the black Kane only used the black giant hammer to dissolve the heavy blow.

Black Kane then also picked up the giant hammer and swept towards Kane, Kane also wanted to resist, but when the giant hammers of the two sides collided, Kane found that he couldn't resist the powerful power of the other party at all, and was violently knocked out!

Black Kane laughed and said, "See? That's the power of anger. Kane, have you forgotten what happened to you? How much torture and abuse have we suffered? How tragically our loved ones died! We were supposed to be the embodiment of anger, but look at you, who came to the temple and forgot about your past and wanted to make friends wholeheartedly? Are you a coward who wants to dilute anger with friendship? Still complacent about his talent - Thunder's Fury? That's bullshit, we should be in a state of thunder rage forever, like I am now! With that, he slammed the black sledgehammer down on Kane.
