The castle in Pinghu Town is 50 meters high, 279 meters long, and 156 meters wide, and is permanently guarded by more than 200 people, which can accommodate up to more than 1,000 people in wartime. If there is usually a servant hiding in a corner of the castle to be lazy, the castle manager will have to rely on luck to find him. The soldier stood on the female wall on the top floor of the castle and looked down, and the pedestrians on the ground were the size of roosters.

Emerson guided the sorcery with his wisdom, and saw the giant ooze monster through the eyes of the falcon, and panicked to report that it was half the size of Castle Pinghu. In fact, there is an element of exaggeration in his statement, the size of the super giant ooze monster is not so exaggerated, it is about the same size as the lord's mansion of Silvermoon Manor, equivalent to a large villa with more than 300 rooms on 7 floors, and two circles larger than the hydra lizard in the swamp.

The giant ooze monster lies in a lake in a glade, surrounded by barren and decaying grass, in stark contrast to the lush primeval forest.

This is by no means a naturally formed empty woodland, but a space opened up by a super giant ooze monster, an area of nearly 400 square kilometers, with gray rocks exposed on the surface, with traces of crawling corrosion, and rainwater converging into a lake in the low-lying area, and the super giant ooze monster lying in it like a hill.

Its bottom was surrounded by a thick darkness that could not be distinguished from the shadows, the black, stinking water, the innate aura of the undead, or both, a dark realm that not even the light of the sun could dispel.

Victor and his party stood on a tall ancient tree and looked out from afar. Everyone was silent, only Aka kept whispering: "Master, Aka is afraid, let's go back, let's go back quickly, okay?"

He hid behind the trunk of a tree, revealing only half of his face, and looked like a child who had not grown up, and no longer had the usual bravery of himself.

A peek at the super-giant undead, Caligula is completely revealed.

The others were not much better than him, Charlotte's cherry lips lost their blood, she put down the monoculars, and muttered with a pale face, "Can this monster really be destroyed?"

Dane's left hand pressed tightly on the relict crystal under the breastplate, and said in a muffled voice: "Yes, surely, the light of my lord will cleanse all darkness!"

When everything is dark, only the light lasts forever. The beliefs of the clergy do not allow Dane to compromise with the devil, evil gods, and the like, but he gritted his teeth and self-hypnotized with red eyes really can't give others confidence.

Nelson crouched on a taller branch, his color-changing cloak making him look like he was one with the tree, but such a disguise meant nothing to the undead, and only provided some psychological comfort to the imtender. While using a telescope to observe the details of the surroundings of the ooze monsters, he said, "This is the Black Forest, at least 30,000 kilometers away from the glorious human realm. ”

The expeditionary force set out last winter, and so far, the journey has been more than 200 days for 13 months, minus the time spent in the Gray Rabbit Mountains and Oak Prairie, and the total distance has exceeded 40,000 kilometers based on an average daily trek of 200 kilometers.

The Lord of Radiance is the protector of mankind, but the Church of Radiance never claims to be the only God. Except for those evil gods and demons who have set foot in the human realm, the clergy have no need and no ability to target other great beings. The main reason is that it is too far away, like this super giant ooze monster, who knows if it is a resurrected ancient god? If it is not a devil who harms the human realm, who knows how many similar transcendent creatures there are in the Endless Forest?

Nelson's words immediately calmed Dane, and he changed his words, "Of course, we have to observe and observe...... Emerson is a, and the core skull of the ooze monster is clearly the head that has been cut off with a sharp weapon. Although the super giant ooze monster is huge, I haven't seen it use a sharp weapon, and it is obviously not behind the creation of undead creatures, nor is it necessarily the source of evil. ”

"I mean, Your Highness, the remnants of the Assyrian Empire are most likely related to the undead in the Black Forest, who are mostly serving the resurrection of the old gods, creating ooze trolls through evil and cruel rituals. Perhaps, we should first find the remnants of the Assyrian Empire before considering the next step. ”

Charlotte said: "Yes, the Assyrian Empire and the Ant-Man monster more than 1,500 years ago were mortal enemies, and if the descendants of the Assyrian Empire have multiplied to this day, the undead creatures in the Black Forest may be their means of fighting the Ant-Man monster." Perhaps, we can take advantage of this. ”

"Master, shall we go back then?" Caligula called to Victor, who was standing in the treetops, holding the trunk of the tree.

"Don't make noise, something interesting is going to happen right away. As if he had no weight, Victor stood steadily on the fragile branches, his dark golden eyes staring at the super-giant undead more than thirty kilometers away.

They were watching the monsters, and the monsters were watching them. Because there are no other animals in this forest, Victor and his party are the intruders who have broken into the territory of the giant ooze monsters.

Its massive body was a little pale on the side facing Victor, and the flames flickered and flickered. Unknown to the others due to the distance, Victor knew that it was the core skull of the giant ooze monster, at least hundreds, maybe more.

Victor had been observing it for almost two hours, only seeing its body on the surface of the water, and still unable to determine the size of the part below the pond. But the observation distance is absolutely safe, and this position was actually chosen by Caligula, and according to his timid and fearful character, there must have been a lot of margin.

The Giant Ooze Monster's desperate gaze doesn't work against Victor and his party, as evidenced by its safety.

However, after observing each other for so long, the patience of the super giant ooze monster was exhausted, perhaps to expel the intruder, or perhaps to covet the prey sent to the door, its dark and ugly body squirmed upward, growing in height by a third, and then collapsed inward, giving the illusion that it was taking a deep breath. Immediately afterward, dozens of disgusting tumors bulged out of the dark green body of the giant ooze monster, each with a pair of pale fiery eyes, and they twisted and struggled on the giant ooze monster's body, as if they were evil ghosts trying to break free.

Nelson screamed, "It's going to throw up!"

Charlotte and Dane hurriedly raised their respective monoculars, only to see the collapsed body of the giant ooze monster violently drumming forward, stirring up a violent air current, causing the branches of the trees in front of them to dance wildly backwards, and dozens of black ooze seemed to be thrown thousands of meters by trebuchets and crackled into the dense woods.

"It's disgusting!" Charlotte said with a look of disgust, frowning

"It's terrible, it still has this kind of move?" Dane carefully searched for the "soft mud cannonball" that fell in the woods, but found nothing, put down the monoculars, and asked in confusion, "What is it trying to do? ”

"Could it be...... It's all ooze trolls?" Charlotte exclaimed, thinking of the possibility.

"It's the ooze trolls, there are 44 in total, 7 are silver-level, and the remaining 37 are bronze-level. Hehe, they want to catch us. Victor sneered.

Dark golden eyes lit up a blue circle of light, Victor blessed the wings of the wind elves, and locked onto the fastest moving ooze troll with his old enemy at a distance of 31 kilometers, the air flow surrounded its head, and the blue and black wind elements condensed into an indigo void wind element, like a lightning sword stabbing between its pale and shining eyes, and the sharp air turbulence burst violently, slicing its core skull and most of its body made of black mud gelatinous into pieces.

The intractable silver-tier undead turned into a real pile of mud in an instant.

Victor shook his head, and there was a feeling that he was killing chickens with a knife, and his real opponent should be a mythical super giant ooze monster.

That's right, the Giant Ooze Monsters are mythical undead creatures, and a rare assemblage of pan-consciousness.

Although he is also a mythical level, Victor must admit that he has no good way to take the super giant ooze monster, he is confident that he can win or lose with the mythical hydra lizard, but he has no chance of winning against the mythical undead creatures of the upper pan-consciousness collective.

The devil knows how many core skulls this monster has in its belly, and maybe the Dark Forest ooze monsters are part of him. Destroying Him may be more difficult than capturing a large fortress full of soldiers, and the fortress has a large number of extraordinary knights.

The greatest value of a stronghold is to increase the defender's margin for error. There is a limit to the abilities of the extraordinary, and if the forgiveness of the fortress is high, their forgiveness is low, so no transcendent will attack a well-guarded fortress single-handedly.

The Giant Ooze Slime has an astonishingly high margin for error, and comparatively speaking, the Expeditionary Force is too disadvantaged.

However, all living creatures that can die can be killed, and the undead are no exception.

Wisdom and knowledge are also a kind of power, and they are the power to know the law and use the law.

Victor's current judgment that the range of action of the Super Giant Ooze Monster seems to be limited to an open area of 400 square kilometers. This conclusion was based on two things, firstly, if he could crawl out, the Black Forest would cease to exist, and secondly, he found that there were intruders watching in the forest, and he only spat out dozens of ooze trolls to capture or drive away.

The movement speed of these undead creatures is certainly not comparable to that of the super giant ooze monsters. The big soft mud can advance 2 or 300 meters at a time, but it just seems to move slowly, and it really moves like an avalanche.

If the giant ooze monster is indeed trapped, Victor has too many ways to deal with it, but it will take a lot of time.

Of course, the current information is not comprehensive enough, and mythical undead creatures will always have a few hole cards. The key question is, what's the point of killing the giant ooze monsters?

All but a pile of pitch-black skulls left him was a stinking sludge. No one with a brain would have the idea of a ooze monster, which may be one of the objective conditions for it to become Him.

Dozens of ooze trolls were approaching, and Victor finally said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

Aka was the first to respond, and he didn't forget Dane, holding the priest under his arm with one hand, jumping directly from the canopy to the canopy of another tree, and ran away so quickly.

Victor was the last to go, estimating the distance of the ooze trolls to determine the territory of the mythical undead, which is the radius of the giant ooze monsters' control over the undead.

The bronze slime trolls chased more than 250 kilometers before stopping, while the silver-tier ooze trolls chased 510 kilometers. Victor transforms Dilly into a dragonman, freezes a silver-tiered sludge troll into ice, and transports it 550 kilometers away to thaw.

Once the ooze troll regained its mobility, it began to chase after Victor with the undead's eating instincts.

From this, it can be judged that the dominance of the super giant ooze monster can only radiate 550 kilometers, beyond which the ooze trolls it splits will lose control and become free undead.

After returning to the camp, Victor ordered the expeditionary force to speed up the collection of resources and increase the supply reserves, while repeatedly testing the characteristics of the super giant ooze monsters.

The No. 7 Alchemy Tower, the Ant-Man Clan, and the Super Giant Ooze Monster are all pan-consciousness aggregates, which is no coincidence, but the same alchemy tower technology. There is every indication that the giant ooze monsters are closely related to the Assyrian Empire. But Victor knew very little about the Assyrians of the Endless Forest.

There is no description of the Assyrian Empire in the engrams of the tantric alchemists, and this puzzle of knowledge is still a blank one, and Victor can only speculate on the roots of the Assyrians through some clues.

Native humans who accept the bloodlines of ancient behemoths will become Inhumans, such as dwarves, halflings, barbarians, and, of course, Assyrians. Dwarves and halflings are certainly vassal races created by the Elves, and they are able to be blessed by the Sun and Moon Trees, which increase the power of the bloodline. The history of the barbarians is relatively short, no more than 30,000 years, and there is no master-slave relationship with the elves. This means that the barbarians may be the Inhumans who developed in the Alchemy Empire. If this inference is correct, it means that the ancient alchemy empire also had the ability to create vassal races.

Most likely, the Assyrians were vassal Inhumans created by the Alchemy Empire, and their history dates back to the late days of the Alchemy Empire, and it will not be more than 30,000 years old.

Judging from the spatial location of the Assyrian Empire, they and the Ant-Man monsters are neighbors, attacking each other in the endless forest. The elves call them the Azores, and give them a sacred relic of the elves to help the Azores fight the ant monsters.

The Elven Clan and the Alchemy Empire have a special relationship, which can be described as a teacher, student and ally. How can the Esoteric Society's alchemists engage in forbidden research in the Endless Forest, so how can they hide from the eyes and ears of the elves?, but the original intention of the Esoteric Society's creation of the Queen Ant's Alchemy Tower was to drop it into the Great Rift near the Elanta Tower to deal with the Abyss Demons.

This is entirely in the interests of the Elven Empire.

Victor has reason to believe that the Queen Ant's Alchemy Tower is a joint research project of the Elven Royal Family and the Alchemists of the Esoteric Society. At the very least, the small swarm of the remnants of the Spirit King was provided to the Esoteric Society by the Elves, otherwise how could the Esoteric Society find excellent experimental materials in the Endless Forest?

The Queen Ant's Alchemy Tower is 100% out of control, for reasons unknown, but it's scary to think about it.

Victor is convinced that the elves and the Esoteric Order have activated the remedy - the Azorean Tower, which has been transformed by the native humans. The elves also took out a sacred artifact, Freya's Tears.

After the collapse of the Alchemy Empire, the Assyrian Empire held back the Ant Legions until more than 1,500 years ago, when the paladins of the Church of Radiance destroyed their altars. When the Ant-Man monsters got rid of the Assyrian Empire, their first target was the Alchemy Tower of the Centaur Hills, while the Elven Silver Eagle City and the Forest Centaur dragged Ant-Man back.

On the eve of Victor's activation of the Centaur Hills Alchemy Tower, the forest centaurs withdrew, and now Ant-Man's problem has become Victor's problem.

However, Victor also contains the blood of the Sun Elves, and if he defeats the Alchemy Ant and absorbs his power, he will transform into a Sun Elf himself. Then the Elven Empire not only ushered in a Sun Elf Emperor, but also had a level 10 alchemy tower.

Such a layout is not a means that extraordinary things can have.

The more Victor moved forward, the more he felt that the future was dangerous, and the power of fate was like a woven spider web waiting for him to enter the game.

Coincidentally, another incarnation of the Moon Goddess is called Lady Spider. The Esoteric Alchemist said that he had seized the power of the King of the Spirit Realm in the Twilight Age, and the mythical Hydra said that the King of the Spirit Kingdom had imprisoned the souls of the heirs of the ancient gods in an attempt to open up the spiritual plane.

The giant ooze monster has a belly full of Assyrian skulls, isn't it a means to bind the soul?

The Alchemy Queen is related to the King of the Spirit Realm, and the Super Giant Ooze Monster is related to the King of the Spirit Realm. The alchemists of the Esoteric Society and the elves clearly chopped up the king of the spirit world and resurrected him to slavery.

Now, Victor can only go on hard, but fortunately, he is the master of the heart, and he has the priest of the Lord of Light by his side.

For the next half month, Victor and the Dragon Maid kept an eye on the giant ooze monster every day, but they did not find that the descendants of the Assyrians had come to sacrifice him with a skull.

Victor was surprised, but he didn't delve into the suspicion because of the short time of the surveillance. He was now worried that the Elemental Rune Crystal that the Esoteric would use to control the Queen of Ants was hidden beneath the ass of the Great Ooze.

Under the premise of full preparation, Victor took Bertina to the vicinity of the super giant ooze monster, and the whole process can be said to be thrilling, but the small patrol made it impossible to perceive that there were elemental rune crystals near the big ooze monster.

This result was a mixed blessing for Victor, and overall it was more sad than happy. If the Great Ooze is the caretaker of the Elemental Rune Crystal, Victor must kill him. It's a pity that he's not, even the mythical undead don't keep the elemental rune crystal, where is the crystal hidden, and who is responsible for guarding it?

Finding the Elemental Rune Crystal may be easier, or perhaps more difficult than killing the Big Ooze. Victor hates the unknown, but also has the courage and confidence to face reality.

He takes Bobo and Tian Tian to different locations and asks them to use their wayfinding sticks to point the way to the ruins of the Temple of the Azores. The cane was always aimed at the distant mountains on the western side of the Black Forest, which Victor visually measured to be 2,000 kilometers away.

The destination is already very close, and the expeditionary force can reach it in 4 days by going straight through the Black Forest, but it will have to encounter the undead in the Black Forest. Victor chose to bypass the territory of the Great Soft Mud, go north along the shallow water north, and then march all the way to the west, almost 4,000 kilometers to the Assyrian mountain and forest heights.

The expeditionary force had enough food to survive the winter for four months, and Victor didn't think there was any need to provoke the big ooze, so he let him continue to lie in the nest.

Before the team set off, Bobo and Tian Tian carved a mark on a large tree as is customary for halfling adventurers. The Adventure Mark has irreplaceable relevance to the halfling adventurer's advancement, and Victor has never stopped Bobo and Tiantian from doing so. If you want to stop them from leaving an adventure marker, don't take them on the road at all. In fact, the Randall Expeditionary Force will also leave markers on the way to prevent any companions from getting lost.

Victor watched as Bobo and Tian Tian cut off a thick piece of bark with a knife and carved intricate patterns into the smooth trunk. When the pattern was carved, they would glue the bark back with potion and soil.

"You should leave elven writing. Victor suddenly said in Elven language to the halfling brothers.

Bobo and Tiantian turned their heads and looked at Victor suspiciously.

Victor smiled and said lightly: "Just write, Despair Forest, there are 8th Order Despair Lords in it." ”
