The heavens of Hell are forever gray, with no night and no season. When a volcano erupts, the sky is lit up by firelight, and plants frantically absorb the heat and grow desperately. Forests located on the edge of the volcanic area absorb the most heat and are the most lush.

It's like the Demon Plane, except that it doesn't have the crimson sun.

Neris stretched a little drunk, her snow-white leather coat became gray, and soon overlapped with the color of this world, and her figure became vague, and from a distance, it was not even visible that there was a demon hidden on the roof of the barracks.

Creating battle puppets is not such a difficult thing to do, and a level 4 mage can do it very well. Rex was already at the peak of the fifth level, and refining thirteen battle puppets at the same time was not a problem. It's just that the room is small, as the commander's barracks, one room can accommodate ten people, and thirteen battle puppets almost fill the barracks.

Shika sat in the doorway and waited, and I don't know how much time had passed before Salin and Rex came out of it.

"Salin, how's it going?" Sika waited, a little anxious.

"It's done. ”

Salin finished speaking, and a row of battle golems stepped out of Rex's barracks. Less than two meters tall, the golems are humanoid with heavy metal armor on the upper body and wolf-shaped on the lower body, with four legs and sharp claws. Because they are consumables, these claws are very long, and they will inevitably wear out after a long time.

The half-human, half-beast puppet was also covered with armor on its lower body, its helmet was fully enclosed, and its hands were covered with metal gloves that wrapped its fingers. The puppet had only four fingers on both hands, so that the fingers would be thicker and more powerful.

The golem holds a metal shield in both left hands and a broad-bladed curved knife in its right hand, with reverse serrations at the end of the blade. Apparently thicker than a human, the body carries a bundle of javelins on its back, which are less than a meter and a half long and made entirely of metal. If this javelin is used by humans, only a warrior with natural powers like Sika can throw it.

The thirteen battle puppets were in good order, and they walked around the camp on their own, taking on the task of guarding.

"Let's rest for the night and leave tomorrow. Rex said, took Hall's alchemy telescope, and flew high into the air. Rex flew upwards for more than four hundred meters and could no longer control the air flow. Level 5 magicians can fly with the help of magic items, and Rex can also fly with the help of colorful magic robes.

If you want to cross the forest, you need to find a path that is relatively close. Rex lifted the alchemy telescope and began to observe in mid-air. In the Myers Continent, it is also a very common thing for the forest to stretch for hundreds of miles, and Rex does not want to see the end of the forest, but needs to find a way out.

The plants of the Divine Punishment Hell grow very regularly, and even the arrangement of the leaves seems to follow the principle of a magical formula. There is no sunlight here, and the leaves of the plants are used to absorb elemental energy. Rex silently noted down the arrangement of the trees at each angle before falling to the ground and beginning to calculate using Figaro's magic formula.

Thirteen battle puppets faithfully surrounded the camp, the camp was shrouded in dark space, this night, everyone can rest in peace, and after entering the forest, even if there are puppets vigil, I am afraid that no one will be able to sleep soundly.

After everyone rested for ten hours, Rex withdrew from the dark space and took the two metal disks back to the Ring of the HRE. Saleen slept well, and it was only then that he took over the command of the three battle puppets and dismantled the camp with Rex. While dismantling the camp, Saleen familiarized himself with the control of the battle golems, and he found himself fortunate to be very modest enough to control only four golems, and Rex only gave him three after taking his demon hunting spiders into account.

It is much more difficult to control the battle puppet than to control the demon hunting spider, the demon hunting spider is very small, and the magic array inside is also very simple, and it completely relies on the special material to win. Despite the fact that the battle golem has four legs, it is extremely difficult to control the balance of the golem.

Salin was embarrassed, he thought it was an easy thing, but now it has become a burden. Suddenly, a puppet loses control, and Saleen is startled, and then feels that the control of this puppet has been taken away by Neris.

Soul abilities?

This technique is so good that Salin is relieved, and it is much easier to manipulate the two battle puppets.

The battle puppets are tireless, consuming the power of the magic core. The camp was quickly dismantled into various huge parts, and Rex recovered the Ring of the HRE in the same way. Then Rex took out five capes and divided them among everyone.

"If everyone gets lost, pull up the hood, there is a sound magic array. However, in the forest, I estimate that it can sense more than 500 meters at most, that is, two magic arrays are opened at the same time, and the sound can be transmitted for a mile at most. ”

Salin took the cloak and draped it on his body, the texture of the cloak was good, but strictly speaking, it was not considered magic equipment, it just did not affect the release of magic. There are three solidified spells on Sarin's magic robe, the invisible shield, the ring of fire resistance, and the Great Force. None of these three are water-based magic, and they need to be activated by the magic core embedded in the belt, and if they are activated to resist the fire ring, the ordinary cloak will be burned.

Rex demonstrated how to activate the sound circle on his cloak before pulling up his hood and saying, "Let's go." ”

The six men did not act separately, but let the thirteen battle golems protect the surroundings, Rex in front, and Salin and Neris controlled the three puppets after the break.

Saleen now knew that the magic strings were precious, and he had only activated the invisible shield on his magic robe in case of an emergency. It's impossible to go too fast in the forest, and there is not much point in casting wind speed magic. The person in the team who was in the worst shape was probably Salin, and even he could travel twice as fast as a normal person.

The purple forest is getting closer and closer, the chirping of insects and birds is not heard, the wind is small, and the huge leaves make a rustling sound. Six people, thirteen puppets, took more than twenty minutes to reach the edge of the forest.

The trees here don't look like vines anymore, and the canopy has more leaves. Almost every tree has three or four people hugging me, and the thickest ones even require a dozen people to pick up.

Rex first sent four puppets into the forest, she stopped under a large tree, bent down, grabbed a handful of dirt, and rubbed it in her hands. She wore white magic gloves on her hands, and the black dirt fell down, and the magic gloves were as white as ever.

"How's that?" Salin knew that Rex was studying the characteristics of the forest.

"The moisture is right, it should rain a lot. There are monster droppings, and there are insects. Be careful, the bugs here are probably bigger. ”

Everyone thinks of the giant mosquito, although the body of the giant mosquito is fragile, but the sharp mouthparts can pierce the metal.

"I just wish there weren't man-eating ants. Salin joked, and Rex glared back at him.

Salin also felt speechless, because Hall and Bai Meng's faces were ugly. The Man-Eating Ant is a special species in the central part of the continent of Myers, and only lives around the Purgatory Desert. This kind of ant is considered a first-level demonic beast, but even a sixth-level demonic beast may be devoured by a terrifying number of man-eating ants.

Rex turned and walked into the forest, the light was still dim, and instead of using illumination, Rex released fluorescence. It's a level 0 magic, and Saleen is good at it. This magic causes little to no elemental fluctuations and does not illuminate a large area.

In addition to the four puppets in front of them, there were three puppets on the left, right, and three in the rear, and the team did not slow down. At the edge of the forest, the vegetation is not very lush.

The four battle golems advanced for about two miles, and suddenly a monster the size of a lynx suddenly burst out in front of them, this monster had the face of a wolf, extremely short hair, and a tail similar to the monsters attacking the camp, like a steel chain. The wolf-faced beast scurried past the four puppets, pounced on the bushes on the other side, and disappeared in an instant.

"Demonic beasts are starting to appear. Rex whispered a warning, and both Hale and Whitemont drew their swords and held them in their hands.

As we went deeper, there were more shrubs, and occasionally plants that could turn into tentacles appeared. Rex controls the golem and carefully chooses his path to bypass these dangerous trees.

After another ten miles or so, the trees were already full of low shrubs, vines, and long grass. The battle golem began to carve a way with its curved knives.

The reverse serration on the broad, curved scimitar head can easily cut through tough vines and weeds, and with the puppet opening the way, everyone is much more relaxed. Rex had to unleash a black mist to hide the advancing team.

With a whoosh, outside the black mist, a small multicolored snake swooped down from the treetops and bit the back of a battle golem's neck. The battle golem is protected by a helmet with a finger-thick metal layer on the back of the neck. The little snake bit on it, and a finger-thick metal armor leaf was bitten off half of its thickness and corroded a hole.

The snake twisted and was about to burrow into the hole. A battle golem next to him swung his scimitar and slashed the colorful snake in two pieces and fell to the ground. The head of the snake had already bitten the puppet's neck, and if it was a human, it would have been bitten to death.

The puppet traveling on the side also encountered trouble, the three battle puppets marched forward between the bushes with difficulty, when the puppet led by the puppet split a vine, a clearing appeared in front of it, and in the center of the clearing was a puddle, as soon as the puppet stepped in, there was a buzz on the edge of the puddle, and tens of thousands of small insects flew up, and pounced on the golem.

The bugs are disgustingly dark red with a tangled network of protrusions that ooze mucus outward. These insects live near puddles of water and live by besieging animals that come to drink. The puppet led by the leader was immediately surrounded by red insects, and in the blink of an eye, it was already stained.

The other two puppets did not come forward to help, but turned around and ran. The surface of the puppet's body, which was wrapped in red bugs, lit up and burned.

Level 0 magic array, combustion, it is impossible for a low-level puppet to attach a real magic array. Incendiary attacks are very low, and if the Bugs are high enough, they won't even deal effective damage.
