Chapter 3: Skinning Forest, Forest of Despair

"Brother, is it really good for you to do that? Sister Shuiyue, she will know about this kind of thing sooner or later, right?"

Liu Sheng Shuiyue, who was happy to get the golden sword, kept vigil with Lisa outside, while the others entered his tent with Zhu Peng.

Everyone present at the time felt that Zhu Peng needed these boots for acceleration and displacement even more, otherwise it would be too passive for the team.

The swift boots are a strengthening advantage for Ma Yongzhen, but for Zhu Peng at this moment, they are a shortcoming. It will not reduce the weight on Zhu Peng's body in any way, but it will allow him to have the ability to run short distances when necessary.

"What's wrong, don't you see that she's very happy?" When he said this, Zhu Peng paused, and then he smiled and said:

"A lot of times, lies hurt simply because you can't lie to her for a lifetime. It's your powerlessness that makes mistakes, not the lies themselves. ”

“...... However, face is very important for a girl. Truth Nai shook her head when she heard this, she was still a little reluctant.

At this time, Zhu Peng had already taken two steps forward and lifted the white cloth cover.

Beneath the white cloth was a half-charred corpse...... The degenerate professional who is suspected to be a remnant of Vietnam.

"The Peeling Forest was originally just a very ordinary area in the realm of the 'Decaying Tombs', but in the past six months, the number of adventurers who have died or disappeared in this area has increased by 500% compared to the previous year, and our mission is to find out the truth...... If you can, deal with it, and the Professionals Guild will give you a generous additional reward. Looking at the corpse, Zhu Peng said.

"It doesn't just look like it's dead or missing, this guy's equipment has 'fused' with him, he's a degenerate. Most of the girls in the tent frowned slightly when they saw the eight-year-old corpse, but in addition to women's attributes, they were also official wizards.

Marina Akizuki took a light breath, adjusted her mind, and walked up, and after a little examination, she came to the conclusion of the "fusion" reaction.

According to the dark contract signed between the wizard emperor Kasa and the Abyss Demon Dragon King, the Abyss Demon Dragon King can only invest in each layer of the realm corresponding to the number of layers of magic irrigation, in other words, the first realm is only a monster of the first order, the second order of the second realm, and so on...... Of course, the Fifth Realm cannot be a group of transcendent beings, but a group of terrifying and terrifying gods, and it will be a disaster when they come down casually!

But the reason why the rules are listed layer by layer is actually to be broken in the end, for example: the degenerate.

The Abyss Demon Dragon King is a transcendent life, no, it is an extremely powerful and terrifying high-level existence even among the gods, bypassing the dark contract to make some kind of adaptation, which is unstoppable by the Wizard Emperor.

The professionals who fought and killed in the five realms of darkness became rapidly powerful by absorbing the origin of the abyss demon dragon king's dispersion, and they were like a large number of parasites, and while obtaining nutrition, they also gradually understood in their hearts the strength and even ...... of being "parasitized" by themselves Great!

If the professional is unable to resist the whispers of the demon god in his ear in the process of rapidly becoming stronger, then the depravity of the mind becomes inevitable.

Professionals who already have their own strength, once they re-choose their camp position, it is normal for their strength to increase by leaps and bounds under the infusion of the power of the Abyss Demon Dragon King.

Therefore, the fallen are often stronger than other professions in the same realm, because their strength is double-calculated, and in addition to their own strength, they have to superimpose the realm power that the Abyss Demon Dragon King has injected into their bodies, among which it is normal for the strong to break through the original rank and even advance to the terrifying realm.

The entire adventurer team is not only Zhu Peng is working hard, others are also doing their own efforts, at least Akizuki Mana has been trying to collect all kinds of information about the five dark realms for half a month, and at this moment she uses some knowledge of wizard anatomy to disassemble some of the equipment in the "fusion" state of the fallen and him.

"What do you mean? Are the equipment on these fallen people different from those on normal professionals?" In contrast, Ma Yongzhen is a relatively pure martial artist, and he can't understand Akizuki Marina's explanation.

"In the five realms of darkness, many of the rules of these five worlds are interdependent with the origin of the Abyss Demon Dragon King, and they transform each other, allowing us to obtain enhanced power, and the embodied equipment is essentially the origin of the demon god, and when the professional becomes a degenerate, their physique is constantly transformed into the origin of the demon god, and the various equipment that is embodied on the body is becoming more and more similar in nature, and after this phenomenon reaches a certain level, it is the fusion between each other...... When the Fallen merge with the equipment, and when the limit state is reached, a new monster is born. Truth Nai had already started dissecting, and Ellie also came over to help, so Zhu Peng didn't interfere again, but explained to Ma Yongzhen, who didn't know much about it.

"There are good and bad aspects to this integration for us. On the downside, of course, the Fallen's abilities will become stronger as a result, and on the good side, the Fallen who are killed may burst out with the best equipment infused with a large amount of Demon God Origin. As she said this, Marina Akizuki cut off the degenerate's left finger and clipped one of the rings between them.

After washing it repeatedly, the girl with long black hair placed the ring on Zhu Peng's hand, and after a while, under the effect of the identification technique, the ring emitted a faint golden light:

Relic of the Pit Viper (Dark Gold Equipment)

ring

Required Career Level: 20

Enchantments: Phantom, Attack Speed Increase, Venom

+20% Quick Attack

Fire Resistance +20%

Anti-Poison +20%

+25% attack accuracy

+5 Toxin Attack

Looking at the attributes, it was a dark gold equipment that was as unique as the dragon's breath gun, Zhu Peng shook his hand and threw the ring with the glow of magic to Ma Yongzhen, the equipment enchantment was related to the blessing attribute of the row below the equipment but it was different, and among all the people present, only the old horse head could maximize the effect of this pit viper ring.

...... The "fusion" evolution ability of the fallen is very interesting, and they are gradually eroded and assimilated by the origin of the demon god, so that the essence of life is gradually approaching the embodied equipment, and these former professionals choose the effect of a certain piece of equipment on their body as the core of their future ability, and continue to infuse the origin of the demon god to strengthen it.

For example, the assassin of the remnants of Vietnam, he chose to use a fine blue agility ring as his core to strengthen, with the continuous infusion of the demon god's origin, gradually derived phantoms, attack speed increases, and quenching poison effects, if he did not meet Zhu Peng, if he obtained further promotion in the future, this ring will produce a "shadow" ability when it is promoted to the third order, at that time, he will become a legendary assassin, bringing nightmares to countless professionals in the five dark realms......

"Judging from the degree of fusion, this guy has been a fallen for a long time, he has more combat power than a professional of the same level, and he can guide and control monsters to a certain extent...... If you hand in the minimum task, you can already make a difference at this point: the Fallen are troubled, even if there are still remnants, just let the Professionals Guild send a high-level raider team over. After completing the autopsy, the Akizuki sisters went to wash their hands together, and came to a conclusion when they returned.

This is also a typical way for ordinary professionals to deal with the Fallen, who are more cunning and even more ferocious than monsters, and are very difficult to deal with.

"There are so many professionals who have died and disappeared in this forest for half a year, he alone will definitely not be able to do it, and there are other even quite a large number of degenerates, they don't smuggle to the Third Realm, what are they doing in the Second Realm?

When you're going to build a boat, don't hire someone to collect wood, but arouse people's desire for the ocean.

Zhu Peng, as a spy wizard, had gradually learned and mastered the way of speech in the process of leading the battle in the world of Zenda, and his words inspired the desire in the hearts of the people present...... The pit viper ring on Ma Yongzhen's finger flashed with gorgeous light, and the second-order dark gold boutique equipment was also good among the third-order warrior equipment.

In the equipment system of professionals, the whiteboard is of course the most ordinary, the blue ** method equipment can be called a good thing, the gold ** method equipment can be called the top of this level, and the dark gold ** method equipment and even the suit, the use of the next level is also quite cost-effective, in the comparison with the same level of equipment, of course, it occupies a crushing advantage.

What he said was different from what he did, Zhu Peng clearly said that he would continue to explore and dig deep into this task, but after the camp was pulled out the next day, everyone found that Zhu Peng was returning along the same road with everyone.

In this debarking forest, not only is food and clean water difficult to obtain, but even positioning instruments such as compasses are unusable due to the strong magnetic field.

Many powerful teams of adventurers themselves are not unable to cope with the onslaught of monsters, but fall into a mental breakdown in the constant wandering, and eventually self-destruct completely.

However, when Zhu Peng's team camped every night, everyone could get plenty of water and a variety of food from Zhu Peng's tent.

In addition, Zhu Peng and Ma Yongzhen are both characters with strong survival ability in the wild, and they can also hunt some wild animals from time to time and take some ugly-looking ferns to improve their diet, so even if the adventurer team keeps circling in the dense forest, everyone doesn't feel so uncomfortable, and the life of professional adventurers is like this.

Hurrying, fighting monsters, exploding equipment, time passed day by day, and when almost half a month passed, Zhu Peng stood on the top of the tall tree and looked out, and finally confirmed the guess in his heart.

"This TM is a forest that can move by itself, no wonder so many powerful adventurer teams have collapsed here, no matter how strong the combat power is, if there is no space equipment to replenish the supply, it will completely collapse after a month or two in this ghost forest. "If you are an ordinary professional, you may question whether you have lost your way because of the chaos of the magnetic field, but Zhu Peng, as a Danshi, has a strong control over himself, and his sense of direction is also extremely strong.

Since the direction can be determined, the forest that entered in one direction at the beginning has now walked in the opposite direction for the same amount of time, and even the march is faster, and after half a month, even the shadow of the forest can not be seen, it can only be said that the peeling forest where the team is located has been completely controlled by some will.

It can work slowly, trapping the inner team of professionals to death like a labyrinth.

Jumping off the tree, Zhu Peng took out a scroll to return to the city in front of everyone and tore it open, the blue flame of magic power burned and flickered, and the portal began to shrink rapidly as soon as it appeared under the squeeze of some pressure in the void, and then shattered in the twist...... There is really no way to open a portal in this forest.

"Now, all the mysteries have been solved, and the Fallen who are entrenched here really have genius ideas, and they are bloodless, killing people invisibly, and even being forced to the limit, once they start fighting and killing each other for food and water, a new Fallen, is born. It's amazing, no wonder hundreds of professionals can die here in half a year. Scanning the entire forest, Zhu Peng, who had already solved the puzzle in his heart, could hardly help but slap his hands in admiration.

Listening to his self-talk, Ma Qianrong's little face even turned pale with fright.

"Brother Peng, according to what you said, can't we all get out? we can't get out, we can't open the portal, and we can't even find the opponent, isn't this unsolvable?"

Zhu Peng looked back when he heard the voice, looked at Ma Qianrong with an idiot look, and the frightened girl shrank back. Lisa on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said to her goddaughter:

"Any spell has a limit, Yongzhen said that the captain has the ability to determine the direction, so as long as we keep going in one direction, it is impossible for this forest to be faster than our marching speed, at best, it will extend the journey of half a month to half a year or a year, as long as our supplies are sufficient, under the premise of confirming the direction, it is not a problem to go out. ”

"With our solid water and compressed military food reserves, it is not a problem to eat for a year and a half, and even if we save some food, and if we have other food to replenish it, it is not a big problem to persist for two or three years...... The only thing I'm curious about is if they dare to let us really go out and pass on the information here to the Professionals' Guild. Prepare for battle, and when they find that they can't stop us from getting out of the Skinning Forest, it may be time for you to attack. With a flick of his right hand, the ghost wand turned in a circle of three hundred and sixty degrees in Zhu Peng's hand, and it was held by the man again.

Zhu Peng's eyes flashed with a faint burning light, he glanced around and looked around proudly, he had been fighting with people for so many years, and for the first time in his life, he felt quite interesting.

In the distance from the adventurer's team, in the dark forest, a sneaky figure flickered, and after a moment, it dissipated and faded.

At night, in the heart of the Peeling Forest, around a huge and dense giant tree, dozens of people are frantically kneeling down to worship it, including Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, white-skinned Western Europeans, and even some blacks, half-orcs and barbarians.

In a frenzied and frenzied manner, they lit a raging fire, slew the uncorrupting professions, sacrificed the flesh and blood of their former companions to the sacred tree, and then robbed the "gods" of the flesh that had already been eaten.

And on a wooden platform near the sacred tree, an execution is about to begin:

"Li Jian, although the Holy Order generally does not absorb untrustworthy Chinese, I personally appreciate your bravery, join us, after receiving the Holy Order, you and I can truly be like brothers. A man dressed in white, with blonde hair and blue eyes, who could not tell whether it was a man or a woman, stood in front of a giant tree that exuded a dark aura, and he bowed his head with an axe and spoke to a strong man who was tightly bound.

In response to him, the other party had a mouthful of spittle, which was mostly blood.

"Miscellaneous, shemale Yankee, Lao Tzu, I believe in Taoism, Confucianism, and my ancestors...... Do you have your own ancestors? With a broken axe, you scare the master, when the master came out with a knife, he didn't plan to go back alive, the Chinese samurai will take care of my children and my mother, unlike you who have no ancestors, bastards, seeds, and, and you don't even have a root when you get to the wizard city...... Burst. Before the man finished scolding, the man in white who was poked in the sore spot had already swung down with an axe and chopped off the man's head.

He casually pushed Li Jian's headless body into the fire beside him, and lifted his head in front of him with his left hand.

"The United States will be revived again in our hands, and the flying eagle flag will one day win its place in the Tower of Babel...... Certain. "Drop your head and smash it to pieces with one kick.

When the abyss came, unlike China, where the overall fortune was on the rise, the United States, which had already experienced the heyday of the founding of the country for 300 years, began to gradually weaken, and the national fortune could not rise, on the contrary, heavy dark karma dragged most of the country's land to the ground.

The bloodshed and carnage derived from the 300 years of hegemonic rule of the United States swept like a dark wave, roaring and pushing this originally huge and powerful country into the endless abyss.

The final result is that the American remnants who survived in Abyss City and Wizard City were quite scarce, and they were ostracized by the largest remnant group in Wizard City and Abyss City, the "Chinese".

In the 21st century, these two countries have been masturbating against each other for decades, of course, they have accumulated considerable negative emotions with each other, and now one side has completely collapsed, and the other side has at least gained a firm foothold.

But after all, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and it would be unrealistic to say that there are no more American remnants who miss the glory of their homeland in Wizard City and Abyss City, just like the blonde-haired and blue-eyed depraved man in front of him, who has even mastered considerable power.

"Lord Holy Priest, the team of adventurers who slew the 'Evil Shadow' is now approaching the edge of the Sacred Forest, and ...... And the captain of the adventurer team seems to have cracked the secret of the Sacred Forest. The shadows behind the white-haired Fallen priest twisted and changed as he reached a secluded corner with a blood-stained axe, and a thief appeared on his knees, bowing his head to report what he had seen.

"It's too vague for you to say that, so I'll see for myself. ”

As he spoke, the man in white turned around and stabbed out two fingers, and with the trembling of the half-kneeling thief, he directly gouged out one of his eyes. The Holy Priestess threw up his head and swallowed the veined eyes, and the memories of hours ago flashed before his eyes like a marquee.

When he looked back at the face of the gray-and-white man with the wand through the memory of the thief's eyes, the spell's operation was interrupted by a sudden sense of shock.

(...... Chinese Warrior Society, Iron Winged Tiger Zhu Peng? Why did he appear here? Li Jingxuan discovered our plan? Huaxia Danshi is simply a simplified version of Superman, of course, he can't stop him just by peeling the forest, but should he stop now? Fight...... Now it's my home field, and if I harvest a Dan Master of the Chinese Samurai Association, it's worth losing all the profits this time. Thinking about the lightning in his mind, the man in white gradually made a decision in his heart.
