Lightning and thunder, torrential rain.

In the dense forest, although the rain is not heavy due to the many branches and leaves, it is very muddy and dark like night.

The search team was very conscientious and did not give up the search for Horak in this environment.

Horak has now been characterized as an internal ghost, and the official in charge of this vicious case has put the breakthrough on him.

According to the experience of the industry, 48 hours after the incident, it is most likely to search for the target, and the further it drags on, the slimmer the chance, so the search team is unwilling to give up the precious incident, preferring to work harder.

The third group is the most closely tracked, and the woodland scout in their group, Ellie, has great abilities that are underestimated because she is young and female.

They were the first to find the cliff where Kane had stayed.

The members of the group were fascinated by the carcass of the Berserk Bear.

The leader of the group, a priest of the Holy Sect, wearing heavy armor, with a battle pickaxe, a melon slice hammer, and a chain flail in one hand, and a holy scripture, ancient scroll, or magic weapon in the other, called Dorum, frowned at this time and said: "A very dark thing happened here not long ago, everyone should be vigilant, carelessness and negligence are likely to be fatal. ”

Although Alyselle does not have a wealth of magical knowledge, she can experience the horror of the scene in front of her from another angle.

The ferocious bear is the existence at the top of the food chain in this area, and judging from the traces at the scene, such a fierce beast was killed just by looking at it.

Its skin had been peeled off, but the membrane and fat beneath it had remained intact, and Alyselle had never seen a hunter or butcher skin it so perfectly.

What really frightened her was the rotten features of the flesh and blood of the ferocious bear, as if it had been dried for many days, and the flesh gave people the impression of 'very dry wood', and the color was also very ugly, a kind of gray color that can only be found in zombie meat that has been frozen for decades.

Ellie couldn't think of any way to make flesh and blood like this.

And after she checked further and found that the internal organs of the ferocious bear were seriously damaged, and there seemed to be some terrible parasite in its body, she couldn't help but believe the words of the team leader, it was indeed a very dark thing, and the life essence of the ferocious bear was sucked away.

"Balaam, gather some originals. Dorum beckoned one of the team members to work.

It wasn't enough for the team to pull up the face towel and cover their mouth and nose with one hand.

"Do you smell a foul smell?" asked Dorum.

"No, but I think it's okay to be careful, if there is some invisible toxin that is inhaled carelessly, it will be bad. ”

"Hmph, you're careful. "That's what Dorum said, but he still blessed Balan with a 'Purification and Protection' spell.

The soft silver light shrouded Balan like the moonlight falling from the top, and finally this silver light turned into a thin curtain of light, attached to Balaam's body.

"Thank you, team leader, it's your best. Stretching comfortably, he took out the tools from his backpack and quickly began to cut and take samples.

Dorum snorted, "Work except for mistakes, watch your skin!"

Ellie Jie walked over at this time, pulled Dorum aside, and said, "Team leader, the situation is very strange, the target is undergoing an amazing transformation. ”

"What do you mean exactly?"

"Traces. Ellijie explained: "Judging from the initial traces, the other party is just an ordinary person with a little anti-tracking ability. This is more in line with the characteristics of Horak as we know it. But the situation is becoming more and more delicate. When I got here, it was obviously a temporary rest point where the target had done a lot of operations, but it didn't leave as many traces as the ...... along the way."

Dorum listened carefully to Ellie's specific examples, and finally said, "At this point, the clue has basically been broken?"

"So to speak. The clues about people are basically broken. ”

"That means there are still non-humans?"

"Team leader, you know, this part doesn't even make it into the report. ”

Dorum waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, your bloodline is special, and your abilities are called heretical by some, but we all know that it is powerful and credible. ”

"But ......"

"I have said time and again that there is no good or evil in the talent itself, it is given by God, not by evil means. As long as you have a positive intention and let it be used for positive things, then it cannot be called heresy or evil. ”

Dorum reassured Ellie, "I have already spoken to the Cardinal about this, and the Cardinal has assured me that when the time is right, he will vindicate your abilities in the name of the Holy Church. Therefore, if we can come up with commendable performance, I believe that this day will come sooner. ”

"Alright!" Ellie bit her lower lip, finally deciding to use her special talent again.

Special, fearful, and jealous, and then a curse.

Ellie Jie understands this sentence, but it is obviously not deep enough, and it is because the goodness in human nature and the desire to be accepted and recognized by others are at work. To put it simply, I still haven't been swollen by reality.

Ellijie, who has a special talent, has no pupils and iris, and her eyes are completely pitch black, while the whites of her eyes are blood-red, and there is a black-red light mist all over her body, rising like smoke or steam.

Such an appearance is undoubtedly not pleasing at all, and even the team members who are familiar with her and follow Ellie Jie subconsciously avoid her.

Ellie called this state a nightmare, and once inside, she became apathetic and restless, she twitched her nose and sniffed, then pointed in a direction: "That guy is wrapped in a thick darkness, transformed, seems to be a sacrifice of darkness, huh...... So pure, I crave his flesh and blood......"

Dorum hurriedly performed the Holy Light Awakening Technique on Ellie, when the holy light sprinkled like water, Elliejie showed a look of disgust, but the human side immediately prevailed, and the next moment, she seemed to have been splashed with ice water in a deep sleep, and the spirit woke up, trembling, and her eyes quickly returned to normal.

A few minutes later, after Dorum released a messenger-delivering rain harrier, the third group set off again and continued their advance into the depths of the forest.

The search team tracks Kane's tracks, and Kane follows the dark trails.

The bloody thorns that had absorbed the essence of the ferocious bear had grown into a large mass by this time, and these thorns were coiled and weaved, eventually forming the appearance of a ferocious bear, and turned into a tame horse, carrying Kane unhurriedly through the dense forest.

This technique was used in the 1853 Karek extermination, when Maria built and rode a cheetah woven from vines and thorns.

Kane used similar technology during his first visit to the world of Warhammer in Medieval to create mounts for soldiers such as the Cybarians who had been transformed by the Skaven.

The source of this technology is the means of the dark druids.

Nowadays, both the casting materials and the level of the spell are more high-end, and in terms of the DND spell system, it is considered a level 10, quasi-god-level spell.

Kane was clad in bear skin, his eyes were slightly closed, and his body swayed and rose regularly with the pace of the Blood Thorn Bear. I was thinking about this mission.

For special reasons, the techniques and means that his avatar can use are very limited.

Any variable-level information is not allowed, otherwise it will be rejected by the world and discovered by the target.

This also means that Eugen can't tell too much information about the world in advance, and he mainly relies on his own collection.

In addition, mainstream methods such as Supreme Wizards, Sculptor Mages, and mature and intense types of swarm systems cannot be used.

The main ones that can be used are the skills of the Druid lineage, as well as the physical enhancement techniques (magic enhancement classes) that are allowed by the laws of this world.

The druid-based technology is a versatile technology system that Kane has mastered. But ever since he made a pact with the Dark Force, the system has had a very clear ceiling.

Because the druid technology system is essentially a natural magic system, it needs to make a contract with nature.

There is no way to sell souls, so it is impossible for the Druid family to go higher, and the legend is the end.

If it weren't for Eugen's opponent, who had inserted a dark system into this world by some means, Kane would have worried that his technical system was too single and lacked high-end means, resulting in no way to complete the task.

But since Eugen's opponent is a dark system, then, hehe, Eugen's choice is indeed very targeted.

When the pouring rain subsided, Kane was almost there.

He has no idea of the destination in advance, and is completely looking for the traces of the evil, because the evil is an extreme distortion rooted in the darkness, and he wants to obtain the power of the darkness and advance towards the lair of evil, and in general, he can always get his wish.

Climb a mountain peak and suddenly open up in front of you. No longer a stretch of mountains and dense forests, but a small basin. As far as the eye could see, far peaks in other directions surrounding the basin could be seen, and Kane had roughly estimated that the basin would be less than 10 square kilometers in size at best.

After all, although his current position is high, because of the weather, the view is not too far, so that he can see the outer mountains of the basin, and the distance can be imagined.

In the middle of this basin, there is a ruined castle of ruins, the rain is blown by the mountain wind, like layers of veils, blowing over the remains of this ruins again and again, the sky is already close to evening, and the occasional sunlight that leaks from the clouds also seems weak, but it is a python-like lightning, which can make the scenery there appear clearer at the moment of light up.

A gloomy darkness shrouded the remains of the castle, and the trees around it were withered or scorched by lightning, and the outer ring of trees had a deeper dark green than normal.

All of this is a very bad feeling, but any spiritual being can perceive the ominousness of this place, and this feeling will be stronger than usual in this heavy rain that favors the gathering of dark forces (the difference between a shady and gloomy cellar).

Kane touched the beard on his chin, and he was thickly haired, and now had a gray beard half a finger long. This is the price of using the power of darkness.

This is all the body that has been reformed by the demon, and the moment ordinary people communicate with the power of darkness, the life energy will flow out. As for why those evil mages and necromancers who worship darkness don't die all at once, it's because the power of darkness that makes contracts and tries to communicate is not of the same grade at all, just like the difference between pure sea-loin and shaking-head pills.

Darkness is the mainstay, the druids are supplemented, this is Sun Kai's power system. There is no need to make a contract with nature, one is because low-end spells are less demanding than the conditions for casting, and they can be bypassed. The other is to use the power of darkness to distort nature.

So this dark druid of him is absolutely authentic, as fake as it gets.

Blood Thorns like the ones he cultivated are equivalent to druids' animal companions, who can grow with him, and the growth rate is much greater than that of ordinary animal companions.

In addition, he has a special ability that ordinary dark druids do not have, that is, he is not afraid of the power of light. Because pure darkness breeds light, he himself is a cultivator of the power of holy light, and when he encounters the power of light that is 200% restrained by the power of darkness, he can use the power of holy light to fight back.

It can be said that in terms of development prospects, it is still very good, and in a few years, he will become one of the strongest combat forces in the world.

How long it will take depends on his operation and encounters, after all, in the transcendent world, the blessing of foreign objects cannot be underestimated. The artifact is in hand, and I have it in the world. This is not only a satire of the protagonist of kryptonite, but also the helplessness and envy of people who have bad luck.

Kane rode the Thorn Bear towards the ruins of the castle, and he figured that when he got to the ground, he would take a nap, just in time for night, which was a good time for him to explore.

He also expected that there were some evil spirits entrenched there, but he just didn't expect that the third search team, relying on the special talent of Ellijie, also followed him, and would soon arrive here......
