"Where's the carriage?"

"What?"

Mr. Xiao followed the sound and turned around, and happened to meet the "fierce" vertical pupils of the snow-white giant snake.

As a member of the former Orc Hunter Guild "Holy Cross", in the face of such a situation, Mr. Yoi showed more courage to sacrifice his life and forget death and move forward in the face of such a situation.

Instinctively, he pulled out the "miracle creation" that he had always carried with him that could be transformed into any weapon, and without saying anything, he planned to cut it towards the boundary of the serpent's head and neck.

"Stop!" The snow-white serpent waged its tail, but instead of harming the humans who were hostile to it, it harmed several redwood trees that had been judged to be "imminent".

"Ahh ”

"Hey, hey." Mr. Yoi is well aware that the witch is under a curse that affects interracial communication, "You know you won't get an answer......

"It's okay." The guardian of the mountain village regained the grace she had always maintained in the village, "You can be my ears." ”

She seemed sure that her companions would help - and indeed it was, humans were not heartless creatures, and that they had formed a team to explore the Dark Forest, and helping each other was the job of everyone on the team.

"Okay." Mr. Yoi put away his weapon and met the serpent's eyes, "I'll help you translate this guy's language." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the Imperial Snake Lingyu who was standing not far away, as if he was worried that the other party would rob him of his own business.

"Feathered Serpent, no, the Imperial Serpent Spirit Feather used to be a member of the Snake Clan, maybe he is better at doing this."

Humans are also creatures that are prone to overthinking, and no matter how capable they are, it is not directly related to how active their minds are.

And this is where communication is necessary:

"Don't worry, he's not a demon beast of the snake clan, I can feel it."

The Imperial Snake Spirit Feather said indifferently.

"But it looks like a snake." The human rubbed his eyes, and suddenly realized that there was a lot of dirt stuck to his gloved hands, so he subconsciously blinked his eyes, trying to squeeze out all the dirty things he imagined.

"If something looks like a snake, sounds like a snake, and moves like a snake, then it's a snake." The witch who didn't think it was a big deal said with a chuckle.

"Hey, he speaks you, our human language, and his voice is like a snake?" The orc hybrid reincarnated by the immortal beast argued.

And while these guys were arguing over inconsequential events, Fang Nuo was also finishing his rhetoric in his mind.

He wanted to answer them, "Actually, I want to see what the Eternal Mark Tree looks like." ”

However, as he was about to speak, a feeling of fatigue and hunger suddenly struck him.

The serpent opened its mouth, but all it could do was show the humans its sharp teeth, and shake the snake letter, as if it were not hostile as much as possible.

The next moment, he felt physically and mentally exhausted from his left eye.

He felt empty, and his heart was filled with appetite—the thirst for "spiritual power."

"It's ...... What's going on? ”

Fang Nuo moved his head slightly, allowing a part of his body to come into view.

He saw that the silver chain that had been attached to the forest greenstone was embedded in one of his scales, and there was still a green thing hanging on it, but it was no longer the stone he cherished, but the blind spider "Emerald" in a state of suspended animation.

Forest greenstone has "disappeared".

Rather, it melted into his flesh - hiss, which sounded horrible, uncomfortable.

So, it is the stone that has become a part of one's body that conveys the meaning of "hunger and thirst", wanting to ...... Want to let yourself absorb more atmospheric spiritual power?

In the dark forest, the most important thing is atmospheric spiritual power.

After figuring this out, Fang Nuo followed the instinct in his heart, straightened up, and rushed towards the blue sky above his head.

"Hey!" Mr. Yoi, who was startled by his unforeseen actions, called out, "Where did you go just now?" ”

"What is it doing?" The witch lifted the edge of her hood slightly, and looked with interest at the giant serpent that soared into the sky.

"Hehe, in the past, I read a story in some book that records fairy tales, myths, or legends, and in it, a similar picture was painted." She raised her arms, and the long, wide sleeves of her coat hung down naturally, outlining the outline of her slender limbs.

"The giant serpent that connects the heavens and the earth and supports the world...... Another way to put it is actually a misunderstanding of the Eternal Tree. "The witches of the mountain village always seem to be calm and easy in front of their kind, "The great snake and the world tree that surround the world, human imagination and creativity are always so interesting. ”

"Because they're all based on reality." The Imperial Snake Spirit Feather also imitated the appearance of his companion, and looked up at the giant snake that could no longer see its head, "Isn't the Eternal Trace Tree also real?" ”

"Thousands of years ago, before you humans were favored by nature, all kinds of powerful beasts roamed the world......"

Perhaps sensing the glare from the snake scales, he quickly withdrew his gaze.

"At that time, the size of the beasts was as exaggerated as they were, and after their deaths, their souls turned into objects or became part of the spiritual power of the atmosphere, while their bodies became the base of the continent, and their blood became the water source of the world."

"Ha, the legend of the Orcs." Mr. Yoi said disdainfully, "I just admitted that you are a human being, Feathered Serpent, and you really can't change your nature. ”

"How can you judge the character of a creature by dialogue?" The witch was the last to retract her gaze, "I have a feeling. "We probably don't have to investigate the mental disorder." ”

"Huh?"

"Ah......h

Imperial Snake Lingyu and Mr. Xiao glanced at each other, and nodded almost synchronously.

Their psychic perception is also excellent, and after receiving the witch's prompting, they will naturally be able to come to a similar conclusion to her very quickly.

On the other side, Fang Nuo did his best to straighten and elongate the massive body he was currently transforming into, following the guidance of his instincts.

And after reaching a certain position in mid-air, he subconsciously looked at their light source—the star "Alternate Time and Space" that he had never dared to look at directly before, and at this moment, it was no longer a pure white body that emitted intense light, but turned into a huge dark void.

It's like when he kills Mrs. Iris and looks at what she saw in the underground works.

Fang Nuo took a deep breath, and under the light from the terrifying void, he lowered his head and took in a large sea of trees.

Without closing his eyes and perceiving with his heart, he could now distinguish every strand of spiritual power in the atmosphere, which roamed from tree to tree, absorbed into his body by the demon beasts that lived in the forest, and released back into the air with each of their "miracles".

Water, stones, plants, and everything that exists in the world all have spiritual powers.

And they're clearly overdoing it.

The giant snake's eyes widened, and its vision changed at will, instantly shrinking from a large area of the forest to concentrating around a small group of demon beasts.

He saw that their tempers were becoming more and more irritable, and that the wolves were scurrying among the mountains and forests, and that the beasts that were coming after them were beginning to lose consciousness when their normal kind approached them.

Their eyes slowly turned red, and the hair on their bodies stood on end, as if a race had become a hedgehog; If they have fangs and claws, these "weapons" that are enough to deal severe blows to other orcs will become sharper and more deadly.

More and more of these orcs bumped into each other in the forest, influencing and infecting each other, and the situation became even worse.

A small tide of beasts is forming in the shadows.

This is the "Beast Tide", Fang Nuo, who has an unprecedentedly wide vision when he is in reality, thinks to himself.

It turns out that it is also contagious, and as long as it is close to a "source of infection", it is possible to lose itself, and the team of demon beasts that have lost their minds will grow stronger and stronger, so the mourning birds are so afraid of its recurrence.

The most affected by the phenomenon of spiritual disorder are those small orcs who are good at running around...... In this way, one to ten, ten to hundred, quantitative change into qualitative change, disaster suddenly staged.

By the time humans or powerful demon beasts that are not susceptible to excessive spiritual power noticed this, it had already lasted for a long time and could no longer be stopped.

Unless, all the beasts who were caught up in this calamity suffered heavy losses and relied on "bloodshed" to restore their sanity.

If this kind of thing is left to humans to carry out, it will turn into a killing.

Humans, who are already weaker than demon beasts, will never spare their hands in the face of a herd of beasts that may take their lives at any time.

And in their opinion, if all the demon beasts are extinct, they will be able to stabilize their position as the ruler of the world and obtain eternal peace and tranquility...... Finally waiting for an opportunity to stand on the moral high ground and understand the alien creatures, why wouldn't they do it?

Fang Nuo couldn't help but recall the scene he had seen in Xiong Zhen's memories.

It was then that he developed more of a mind for humanity.

However, he is not a rigid monster after all, he knows how to empathize, and he also knows that he can't generalize things from one side to the other, because some bad guys have done things that are cruel and unacceptable to the beasts, and deny all humans.

Originally, everyone was at fault.

Besides, it was more than ten years ago, and as a later generation of beasts, when considering historical issues, he also had to take into account the background of the times at that time, as well as the thoughts and thoughts of the humans and monsters in the game.

A seemingly simple conclusion can never be so easily reached.

The serpent that stood between heaven and earth blinked again, and his vision returned to its original form.

Immediately afterward, the atmospheric spiritual power in the surrounding forests quickly surged up like a cloud, and all of them converged around him.

The vast amount of spiritual power merged into his left eye, which was painful again, and it seemed to have turned into a bottomless pit containing spiritual power, and no matter how much spiritual power there was, it could not satisfy it.

In the dark forest below, the impurities of spiritual power were withdrawn from the bodies of the out-of-control small demon beasts, their red eyes gradually changed back to their normal appearance, and the erect hair also reattached to the surface of their bodies.

The gathered herds fell to the ground, and when they got up from the ground, they were all confused, and soon they went their separate ways and separated from each other.

"It's not enough." Fang Nuo felt that his left eye was still tingling, and it was still not satisfied, "It's not enough, it's not enough!" ”

"How much more?" He felt lost.

The three humans, shrouded in the shadow of the giant serpent, realized in time that something was wrong with him.

"Did it absorb too much spiritual power? Isn't this really going to get out of hand? ”

"It's best to stay out of here." As the witch expressed her opinion, she manipulated the spiritual power thread to weave a door for herself to other places.

"If he gets out of control, we're all going to suffer." The Imperial Snake Lingyu is also ready to take care of the aftermath.

Whether the giant snake in front of him was formed by a strange bird or because of the black phosphorus being counterattacked, he helped them a lot.

In this case, they should also be worthy of the serpent's contribution, and when he loses his mind, they will kindly send him on his way, so that his feat will not be tarnished by his later actions.

"Are you going to ......," Mr. Yoi immediately reacted to the killer's attempt.

"Wait a minute." Once an excellent monster hunter, he had an idea and hurriedly stopped the orc hybrids from doing something they might regret afterwards.

"I'll see if I can calm him down." He looked at the witch, "Witch of the mountain village, can you send me up?" ”

He pointed to the location of the serpent's head.

"Of course." The witch hooked her fingers, and the layout of the spiritual power lines around her body changed slightly, and the "miracles" designed with them as a medium would also be different.

"I've attached this door to the scales on its neck." She told Mr. Yoi, "Once you're in it, you'll be able to go to your destination." ”

The Scarface man, who wasn't very good at teaming up this time, nodded, knowing that this might be the last chance to show his ability and worth.

He resolutely opened the door woven of spiritual power threads, stepped into it, and then leaned out of the air and met the serpent's unfocused eyes once again.

"The carriage—"

Before the expected fall came, he shouted out the word to the beast that had provoked its reaction.

"Aren't you looking for it?"

"I can tell you—" Thankfully, the serpent's eyes refocused, "where is it." ”

Before he could fall to the ground and be saved by his companions, the snow-white serpent took a step ahead of everyone else, lifted him by its tail, and then gently threw him to the ground.
