The silver moon hung high in the starry sky, and the eerie and bleak moonlight sprinkled over the entire Black Forest sea of trees.

The dead forest was soaked in the moonlight like water, revealing some eerie serenity.

Boom.. Boom..

Boom.. Boom..

Helo woke up very tired, after a whole night of fierce fighting, he couldn't help but fall asleep just now, the scorpion's wide back armor was really too comfortable to sleep, and he didn't have to worry about rolling down if he turned over.

Boom... Boom...

Helo was awakened by such a dull drumbeat.

Suddenly, in the darkness deep in the distant forest, the speed of the drum began to increase, like a heavy drum, knock knock...... It rolled out of the forest in a dull and hurried way, like a looming rainstorm.

He opened his eyes, just as he adjusted to the bright moonlight above his head, and in an instant, a dark shadow pressed against him.

Helo was about to exclaim when his mouth was covered.

He was even more nervous when he opened his frightened eyes and saw that it was Mena who was holding him down.

'It's too insidious! Waiting for him to fall asleep and pounce on him to kill him? I know that the last sentence he said has a deep meaning! ’

"Woooooooooooo You...... Do you want to do it? ”

Helo's mouth was clutched by Mena, and a muffled sound came out.

Just a few centimeters away from his eyelashes were Mena's bright yellow pupils, like a blooming sunflower.

Blush...

"What the hell are you going to do?!"

As Hello struggled, Mena's cold, slender fingers reached into the scarf of his broken raincoat and groped for Hero's neck.

He struggled hard to bounce up, but he was crushed by Mena and couldn't move.

Mena whispered in Helo's ear, but with a grave face:

"Shut up! Don't be silent! ”

"Fuck you!"

Helo couldn't help but start scolding his mother, saying not to move, while holding his neck again.

You're a bitch! Don't you resist when you're killed?

"Shut up! If you struggle, we'll both die here! ”

Mena's face was a little hideous, and he kept cursing in Helo's ear.

And Helo, who calmed down, also noticed that Mena's hand that reached into the tattered raincoat did not pinch his neck hard, but pressed against his chest to restrain his churning body.

"What the hell is going on! Is that the sound of the drums just now?! ”

Coming back to his senses, Harrow felt as if he had found the crux of the problem.

Mena rolled over and pushed Helo off the scorpion's back armor, regardless of whether Helo would be injured a second time when he fell from a height, and then he also slid down.

He picked up Helo's whole princess, but fortunately Helo was not yet an adult, so it was easy to move, and carefully hid the two of them behind a huge rock and put them down.

The twin-tailed scorpion, which had already trembled and lost its hideous majesty, burrowed into the distorted and illusory space at Mena's beckoning.

He looked at Helo, who was honestly pretending to be well-behaved in front of him, and sat down with his back against the rock, closing his eyes, but his heart was beating faster and faster, and he kept adjusting his breathing to calm his heartbeat.

In the distance, the dense drumbeat became louder and heavier, and there was a constant "click" of trees being broken.

Approaching...

Helo didn't know what was approaching in the darkness, but the fear that was rolling wildly in his heart and the soul energy that was constantly stirring up by the sound of those drums in his veins.

He could only close his eyes and suppress the soul energy with all his might, but fortunately, all his current soul energy was obtained through the decomposition module, and through the system purification, whether it was the purity or the control power, it was extremely strong.

"Hidden Soul Energy... Don't be discovered..."

Heloh could barely hear Mena's muttering.

If Mena knew that he had soul power now, would he have a mental breakdown...

The explosion-like dense sound of drums was already close to my ears, and the huge dull sound was like a huge hammer smashing into the chest.

Looking down from the sky, you can see that in the dense black forest, countless towering trees are strangely collapsing along the road, as if a huge snake is swimming through the deep artemisia grass, leaving grass marks where the snake walks.

As the drumbeat approached, Herro could hear a burst of turbine-like "boom" in the starry sky overhead. Boom...", it sounded like sharp metal cutting through each other, and there was a strange power in the sound.

Every time the sound sounded, a transparent ripple suddenly shook in the surrounding space, and when the ripples fluctuated to his side, the soul energy that Helo could obviously suppress boiled, and at this moment it was like tearing through the cage and rushing out.

Mena beside him leaned against the rock, his eyes were glazed, and scarlet blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth, and even the silver robe that was not stained with water in the rainstorm was soaked in blood at the moment.

Even the body twitched slightly from time to time.

It's getting closer...

Helo's handsome face was now as terrifyingly distorted as Mena...

It was above them, so close that it didn't just affect soul energy.

Every inch of skin, every blood vein, even the flesh attached to the Helo Module System, was stirred by this eerie roar and boiled like boiling water.

At this moment, Mena's soul energy had lost control, and they were scurrying around according to the winding path of the soul circuit, rampage, as if it was difficult to resist this roar, trying to pierce the skin and escape from the body.

Even Helo, who didn't perceive soul arts, could clearly feel at this moment that Mena was like a volcano on the verge of erupting!

The moonlight, which is as plain as a lake, is obscured at this time.

Helo was like going back to his past life, watching the total solar eclipse, and he was even more panicked than he was then.

......

Wait until the thing that doesn't know what it is is gone.

Helo saw it clearly.

The dark shell reflected the moonlight, and the behemoth body with no end in sight was lined up with countless floors that looked like tall towers, but he could only see a turbine-like device on his back.

In the middle is a huge grinding disc that can be rotated to serve as a support for the upper and lower sections.

The lower section is a myriad of black column feet, covered with sharp burrs, staggered and moving, and the whole is twisting and moving forward with the rotation of the disk...

Each movement weighed more than a thousand pounds and smashed to the ground, and the whole Black Forest was beaten like a huge drum...

"Why is it here?"

Mena vomited a clot of blood, and her gaze finally lost its luster in the bright moonlight.

The silver robe on his chest hung a desolate blood stain that was gradually condensing.

"What's that?"

Helo asked, pretending to be weak, he wasn't as embarrassed as Mena, but he felt a little unwell.

But if you don't pretend, it seems that he is a little unique and weird.

"I made a mistake, at that time, in order to complete the secret itinerary of the imperial order, I deliberately went deep into the Black Forest for a distance before setting the anchor point of the [Gate], I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing here!

[War Tower] was created by the first Duke Warlock, during the Great Expedition, the supernatural soul beast [Vortex]..."

"Are you sure? Is that a soul beast? There is still a soul beast with the Lord! The Grand Duke is so strong! ”

Hearing Helo's doubts, Mena turned his head and looked at him with idiot eyes...
