Will the plants die? This is not good news.

Although Fang Nuo had no feelings for them at all, he knew very well that it was not something that could be done in a day for a redwood tree to grow so tall and so thick.

"Uh......" Fang Nuo shook his head, he remembered the white oak that had been ripened by himself.

Later, he recalled his botanical education in his family.

"Are redwoods the fastest growing plant in this forest?" He faces the taro, the queen of birds, who has lowered her height, and does not miss every opportunity to show off his "knowledge".

"It's even the fastest growing in the whole mountain range...... Tree! There is no such thing as a psychic one. ”

"But they are also life, and you should learn to respect life." The Bird Queen did not speak to Fang Nuo in an admonishing and educating tone, on the contrary, her tone was full of helplessness.

"If there's a chance that they'll be saved, why don't we try?"

"That's a bad sound." The snow-white beast stuck out its tongue and didn't say anything more, "Whatever you want." ”

"I bet." The pitch-black bird flying in the air interrupted the communication between the two demon beasts below, "All of this is what the witch is planning to find...... 'Feathered Serpent', he is playing ghosts." ”

"All we have to do is catch up with the witch and help her catch the tail or wings ......of the feathered serpent," he trumpeted, "and besides, with a feather, we might find a way to save these sick trees." ”

"Ugh." Fang Nuo looked around and sighed, "Let's let them rest in peace sooner." ”

That being said, his limbs were not controlled by his often slow-to-beat mind.

Although he had developed a disgust with the forest hike that motivated him to do so, he honestly followed the actions of the two mourning birds, step by step towards their imaginary "meeting point".

……

The surroundings are getting more and more treacherous.

The scales, bumps, pustules, or color changes on the trees do not seem to be formed overnight, but rather to be created after many years of screening and evolution.

Or, by human design? Psionic influence?

It will take a lot of effort to do that.

Yilan, who has awakened her ability for more than ten years, should have been very confident in her judgment, but she witnessed a scene that defied common sense.

The disgusting and strange sight that should have taken many years and many experiences to create was in fact suddenly transformed from ordinary trees as they continued to move forward.

Since they repelled the attacking Dryads and realized that it was the fairy beast "Feathered Serpent" that the Dryads inexplicably regarded as mortal enemies that attracted those group of monsters here, they had gone all the way, and until now, they had not taken the initiative to say a word.

Combined, two and a half people in total, they remained silent, alert to the "accidents" that could happen at any time in the same quiet surroundings.

Thankfully, none of them are people who would be embarrassed by having nothing to say.

Everyone has their own past that they don't want to talk about, and it just so happens that they are all more or less accustomed to being alone and relying on themselves in one or several events.

Some of them have long since learned the ability to speak to themselves in their hearts without expressing them...... Keeping everything in your heart is really something that is not to be envied.

The light source from the outside was gradually obscured by the dense canopy of trees, and the deeper they walked into the dark forest, the more they had a new understanding of the origin of the forest's name.

Yilan twisted his wrist and weaved the atmospheric spiritual power into an oil lamp, and a small flame of spiritual power burned in the transparent lampshade, and there was no wind automatically.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

And when the light is abundant, the forest is not as peaceful as it is.

As if some behemoth was trying to imprint its footprints on the ground, the sound of dull footsteps came from in front of them, louder and clearer.

In the end, it was as if it was directly on their hearts and sounded in their heads, replacing all the ambient sounds they could hear.

What are we looking for here?

Ylan-elan's mouth opened, eager to ask the question.

But this is not like what a "witch" should say...... She shook her head slightly, not for the first time feeling in her heart how far the villagers had deviated from her nature.

At least ten years ago, she was a carefree little girl.

"Feathered Serpent!" Mr. Xiao, who had been holding back his words all the way, finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and took a step ahead of the witch and made a voice, "Where are your dependents hiding?" ”

"If you go any further, I'm afraid you're going to break into the territory of the 'Flower Emperor'."

Do you also know the "Flower Emperor"?

Ilan narrowed her eyes and mentally reassessed the scar-faced man in front of her.

The minions of the Kaslano Empire, the followers of the Holy Cross, know a lot.

"It's okay." She replied on behalf of the Emperor Serpent Spirit Feather, who was silent, "We have already dealt with a wave of dryads before, and we have already offended that legendary immortal beast. ”

"He wouldn't mind if we went to the bottom of the Tree of Eternity."

This sentence is true, and the witch snickered in her heart, but she didn't know if the two guys around her dared to believe it.

"You're so confident." Mr. Yo said with a hint of resentment in his tone.

"For a long time...... Feathered Serpents are 'good beasts'. The half-breed orc, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "I just want to help you in my own way, human. ”

"What's wrong?" Yilan sensed that his tone was wrong, and hurriedly raised the lamp woven by spiritual power and shook it in front of the eyes of the imperial snake spirit feather.

"It's almost there." The black-haired, golden-eyed killer sighed, "To be honest, I haven't been there either, so I'm not mentally prepared yet. ”

"What mental preparation?" In place of the witch, Mr. Yoi asks a stupid question.

"Seeing the psychological preparation of the 'Snake Clan Temple' they built near the Eternal Mark Tree in order to replace the Flower Emperor." The Imperial Snake Spirit Feather replied in an unbearable tone.

He took the witch's oil lamp and poured more pure spiritual power into it, so that its light could penetrate the darkness in front of him and point to their destination.

"Let's go inside."

He raised his hand and stretched it out, and the human hand in the pitch-black leather gloves instantly changed into a raptor-like hook and claw, and the arm was also crawling with dense scales, and at the same time, golden feathers grew from the gaps in the scales, forming a thick layer of wings.

"Wait-" Mr. Yoi subconsciously tried to stop him, "don't you need to do some preparation?" ”

"That's it......" he glanced at the magnificent building in front of him, and sighed in his heart that this was not a man-made spectacle, "break in?" ”

"They've been waiting for me for years." The Imperial Snake Spirit Feather said.

Hearing this, Mr. Xiao, who couldn't believe this "peer", immediately put on a fighting posture.

"You want to make a decision with them as soon as possible?" 2.5 The witch who is the most indifferent to this series of things reaches out and stops the impulsive behavior of her companions.

"yes." The immortal beast, who has been a human for ten years, spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "I have to let them give up dreaming, and don't provoke a lot of dryad enemies for me when I don't know it." ”

Perhaps many years ago, he was the leader of the snake clan demon beasts, the fairy beast "Feathered Serpent" that was as famous as the "Flower Emperor" and the "Beast King" of the Dark Forest.

But after being betrayed by the demon beasts under his command, he had to give up his original body and strength and incarnate as a human - this act announced the death of the fairy beast "Feathered Serpent" in a sense - after that, he no longer pretended to be the leader of the snake clan, but honestly did what humans would do to make a living.

Living in human territory requires money, and he fulfills the commission given by humans to assassinate their own kind—and he has the ability to do so anyway.

As a result, he soon made a lot of money, and even his fame reached the ears of the king of a human country.

As a result, he changed from "Feathered Serpent" to a human "Aaron Kellyan", and from a human "Aaron Kellyan" to the famous hired killer "Imperial Serpent Spirit Feather".

However, in this mountain range, his fame does not seem to be very popular.

"They should be grateful to the forest psychic disorder for waking them up from hibernation early." The former king of the snake clan said coldly, "Just in time for my vacation. ”

Ylan silently looked away.

Then, she heard Mr. Night exclaim in surprise, and instinctively followed the voice.

He saw the altered arm of the Imperial Serpent Spirit Feather stabbing into the air in front of him—the atmosphere distorted, engulfing most of his arm.

But he didn't say a word, and there was no change in his face or eyes.

The black hair of the Imperial Serpent Spirit Feather slowly rendered a golden glow, and scales emerged from his hair in an orderly manner.

At the same time, a hideous black mark emerged from under the skin of his face, from his forehead to his jaw, and through his entire face.

"I've heard of that." Mr. Yoi, who witnessed all this, muttered.

"That's a curse." Hearing this, the witch subconsciously touched her heart, and then gently put her hand on the side of her ear.

"A curse on the powerful 'Feathered Serpent'." Mr. Yoi, who is well-informed from outside the mountain, added his whisper.

"Who made the curse?" Although she knew that the other party was talking to herself, Yilan couldn't help but ask.

Due to her similar situation, she inexplicably developed a little empathy for the half-human, half-beast not far away.

"It's Himself." Empathy is shattered by a single sentence.

"For His power is so great that it eats against Himself." Mr. Yoi was amused by his own account, which was also a real thing that happened to the Quetzalcoatl, "That curse was born, and it was a constant warning to him not to abuse his power. ”

"He thinks of himself as an orc who does good everywhere." The witch remembered the previous words of the Imperial Serpent Spirit Feather.

"If you restrain your power and don't do more exaggerated destruction, it's a 'good deed.'" Mr. Yo apparently refuses to acknowledge the true character of the fairy beast.

"He killed my acquaintances, that's a fact."

"He's going to leave us behind and break into that weird palace alone." Yilan reminded coldly, "This is also true. ”

"Let's go help him."

The witch stretched out her hand to her companion as she flung out her spiritual power line, allowing it to extend into the air vortex opened by the Imperial Serpent's Spirit Feather, catching up with the other companion who had just taken the lead.
