Chapter Forty-Eight: The Five Kings
'Mirage, is that really the case?'
'Why am I the only one who saw the scene of destruction, the behemoth that fell from the sky?'
'A Heavenly Monument'
As his thoughts turned, Lin Fan's brows furrowed even tighter, and suddenly, there was a warm feeling in his left arm, as if a longing emotion suddenly appeared in his heart.
"You are waiting for me here. ”
Lin Fan strode forward, his eyes staring at the mirage in the sky tightly, wanting to find out.
"Brother Lin Fan" Jin Chen and Huwa shouted hurriedly behind, but they couldn't catch up with Lin Fan's footsteps.
As the distance got closer, the temperature of the left arm decreased, and the mirage was so unattainable, even if it ran for an hour, it still existed in the sky, as if it was chasing an ethereal dream.
The body is like electricity, and the strong wind blows the snowflakes around the body, and the trees in the depths of the mountain forest become denser and thicker, and the thick snow bends the branches, stepping on the snow, and a puff of snow foam spreads overhead.
"Roar"
A ferocious roar made the woods tremble, and countless clouds of snow fell down. A wave of wind mixed with the smell of blood rushed out into the depths of the dense forest, and snowflakes as thin as paper sliced dozens of giant trees apart. Boom collapsed to the ground, kicking up snow flakes in the sky.
Lin Fan's face showed a dignified color, and the dense forest in front of him had completely changed its appearance, all of them were jet black, like the luster of metal, revealing a sense of hardness. The branches are as vigorous as dragons, and there are vines like giant pythons. Arranged in a neat and orderly manner, like a well-trained army.
The position was only a few meters away from the black, but just one step away made Lin Fan pause, those roaring objects seemed to exist at the edge of the black jungle, but they did not appear, and several roars seemed to be a warning.
The edge of the black jungle is like a dividing line, the difference in color alone is clear, and there is an invisible force at work, making it an insurmountable moat.
"Brother Lin Fan" Jin Chen and the tiger baby ran panting, and only breathed a long sigh of relief when they saw that Lin Fan had not stepped into the black dense forest.
"It's okay, it's okay, otherwise it's dangerous" The tiger baby patted her chest, and her heart palpitated as if she was happy.
"What kind of place is this?" Lin Fan felt unusual.
Jin Chen said: "Brother Lin Fan, this is a forbidden land, belonging to the periphery of the center of the 100,000 mountains and forests, it is an evil place, there are many terrifying demon beasts in it, extremely terrifying. ”
"Forbidden land?"
"Yes, the place where we meet the black jungle is the dividing line, and if we rush in, we will be torn to pieces by the enraged demon beasts. ”
Lin Fan asked, "Can this virtual dividing line stop the footsteps of the demon beast?" he was deeply skeptical.
"Before, it couldn't, but now it's different. The tiger baby glanced ahead, and the darkness seemed to be like a bloody beast with a wide mouth, making him feel the shadow of death hanging over his head, and he looked away with a cower.
"What do you mean by that?"
Jin Chen said slowly: "In the past, this was also a relatively chaotic area, but a year ago, a demon beast king suddenly appeared to dominate a radius of thousands of miles, and from that day on, there would be such a miracle as a mirage here from time to time. ”
"What happened a year ago?" Lin Fan muttered in his heart, he also came to the Golden Crow Clan through the spatial passage a year ago, and this Demon Beast King was also at the same time. The two things seem to be unrelated, but if it weren't for the appearance of a mirage, it would be difficult for him to find the complexity, and all kinds of signs would be too coincidental.
"That's right. Jin Chen nodded: "The mirage vision once attracted many strong people, but without exception, when they stepped into the black dense forest, they never came out again. Over time, even the mighty warriors were full of fear here. This seemingly joking dividing line has also become the gate to hell. The mirage is even more called to death. ”
"The call of death. Lin Fan muttered in a low voice, feeling a depressing aura coming from the name alone. In the corner of her eye, she also caught a glimpse of the tiger baby shivering involuntarily, her lips purple, obviously afraid.
"The demon beast controller of the Black Jungle has been famous for a year, and is also known as one of the five kings of the Death Forest. ”
"Five kings?"
Jin Chen nodded and said: "The Forest of Death is like a labyrinth, with twists and turns, and there are many places of execution, which are rumored to be caused by some ancient demon beasts that have fallen here, ** are not corrupted, and the fierce souls are not dispersed, which also makes the core shrouded in darkness all day long." The demon beasts here are also subtly ferocious, and they are extremely bloodthirsty. ”
"For a long time, four ancient xenos have risen one after another, dividing the Dead Forest into regions and ruling each other. Although this fifth king has only been around for a year, it is extremely terrifying to think about, otherwise, how could these demon beasts who are more ferocious than their spiritual wisdom dare not cross this edge. ”
"The five kings are so mysterious that the humans who have seen their true colors are all dead, so that it is unknown what kind of alien species they are. ”
Hearing this, Lin Fan nodded, and his body felt a chill inexplicably, and there seemed to be countless pairs of bloodthirsty and terrifying eyes staring at the three of them in the darkness ahead, and said calmly: "Let's go." ”
Taking a deep look at the increasingly faint mirage in the sky, his long white hair obscured his wise eyes, and gently stroked his arm, he had a premonition in his heart that maybe he would soon step into this dense forest and see the true face of this so-called demon beast king.
This is not a guess, but an intuition from the depths of the soul, an incomparable affirmation.
"Hey, hey"
When the backs of Lin Fan and the three disappeared into the vast snowfield, an evil and penetrating laughter sounded in the black dense forest, and immediately, the roar of the originally undulating demon beast was suddenly suppressed, and the whole world seemed to fall into silence in an instant, and the needle drop could be heard.
The giant black tree seemed to come to life, paddling quickly through the snow. The darkness in the center seemed to be split by a sword, and a ray of light shone down, forming a wide golden avenue.
The swing of the robe made a hunting sound, and a thin figure stepped out of the void like a spinning black hole, this was a young man, who appeared silently, and the whole person seemed to melt into the darkness, without a trace of shadow in the light, like a ghost, and even the pupils were like two endless abysses.
The handsome and almost bevelous face had an evil smile, and the palm of his hand stroked the soft hair of the cyan fox in his arms, looking up at the sky, as if to see through the trajectory of this fate, and chuckled: "It is already destined in the dark, and see how it is intertwined?"
A cold snort suddenly sounded in the air, and in an instant, a cold air swept through, and the snow on the ground quickly turned into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye, but in a few breaths, a large black dense forest had become an ice sculpture factory.
"People and demons are incompatible, but it's just a hairy boy, and you actually have compassion. But judging by his appearance, he must be delicious as food, and since you can't bear to do it, I'll clear the trouble for you. Yin Xi's voice was full of bloodlust.
Hearing this, the handsome young man's face suddenly turned cold, his eyes swept away, and two golden rays flashed, like a scorching sun, the sound of clicking and clicking sounded, and the ice sculpture exploded in an instant. Each black tree emits a golden light, which becomes transparent under the rendering, as if a small sun is hidden inside.
The young man's eyes snapped open, and a rumbling sound sounded in the void, shattering the silence like a tumbling mist. only heard a muffled snort, and the cold voice from before was a little caught off guard, and said in a panic: "You"
"Shut up!" the young man snorted. "You stupid snake, if you dare to cross the line to me, I will let this place return to the reign of the four kings. ”
The voice was silent for a long time before it answered unwillingly, and then, the cold breath receded like a tide, thinking that it had already left.
"The remaining pieces of Nine Soul Jade should have been born, but they still have to come here in the end, don't make me wait too long. The young man's figure vanished, and everything here was restored to its original state, but there seemed to be a subtle eerie in the air.
Lin Fan and the three of them dragged a few huge saber-toothed tigers, running quickly in the snow, this time it can be said that they have gained a lot, Jin Chen and the tiger baby's little faces are filled with happy smiles, and the surprise of the clansmen after seeing the food seems to have appeared in front of them.
Far away, even in the wind and snow, they heard a noise from afar, and the three of them looked at each other, and they all saw each other's doubts, and at the same time a trace of worry welled up in their hearts, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace and bury their heads in the hurry.
When the Jinwu tribe was close to them, the three of them breathed a long sigh of relief, but they also discovered the existence of many strangers, standing like javelins in the wind and snow, as if they couldn't feel the cold and didn't move.
"Brother Lin, they're back"
A group of children playing in the snow shouted. Immediately, the door of the patriarch's room was the first to open, and Jin Teng and Manling walked out quickly, and when they saw the unscathed three people and the corpses of several saber-toothed tigers behind them, they were both surprised and a little angry.
"Good boy, there are yours. Manling patted the shoulders of the three of them and grinned and laughed with several big men next to him, very happy.
"Patriarch Grandpa, we're back. ”
Lin Fan said with a smile, and without waiting for Jin Teng to speak, he quickly changed the topic. "Who are these?"
"Are you Lin Fan?" a slightly sharp voice sounded behind him.
Lin Fan turned around and frowned unconsciously.
