"Sample 13 has been collected, remember to disinfect ...... before exiting"

A well-guarded camp was set up in a clearing next to a forest stream, and several researchers in chemical protective suits carrying sample boxes were allowed to return after several rounds of disinfection.

At the end of the passage, there is a spatial passage fixed to a giant tree, and a person in charge on the opposite side greets the researchers under the protection of Team 01.

"Be careful."

"This sample should be able to work, hard work."

"Minister, the Heim Forest is encroaching on the world of Armor, can you get the drive data?"

"Consortium X has already started to act, and it is said that there is only a prototype in the experimental stage, 'Battle Pole Drive'."

"It's really worthy of Consortium X, and it was able to find "Armor" in advance for layout."

"I heard that it was a big man from the headquarters who took over Consortium X and provided the coordinate data here."

"The Lord ......"

"What? Found an empty self in the forest? How can it be? ”

The person in charge who was about to discuss the next task suddenly changed his face, and the staff who were still talking about Consortium X around him suddenly felt as if their necks were choked, and they swallowed all the words that came to their mouths, leaving only their ears to listen quietly.

They are no strangers to this knight.

The first time the alliance suffered was because of the empty self, and it doesn't seem to have been smooth since then.

Last time, RX led the team to challenge the dungeon and failed to succeed, and I heard that I almost got planted in the dungeon.

"Impossible!" The person in charge clenched his phone gloomily, "How can there be an empty me in this world?" Even if it's decade empty, I can't do it! The only space-time passage is in our hands......"

"It's true, Minister," the liaison on the other side of the phone said in a trembling voice, as if he was still apprehensive, "everyone has seen it, it's Decade Empty Me, and that red belt is exactly the same as in the latest information, it's definitely the number one!" ”

The person in charge's face changed: "Take the image." ”

"Good ......"

The liaison officer turned to the dusty and smoky forest scene, and his words were abruptly interrupted.

The place where the empty self appeared was empty, as if it had seen a ghost, and there was not even a shadow to be found.

"Gone, gone!"

"Whew!"

The RX was the first to arrive at the scene through the dust and smoke.

The scene was indeed not a hallucination, the wreckage of the Outlanders was everywhere, and there was still room for the traces of fire I left along the way.

Recently, the game copy invasion in this world seems to have caused a lot of turmoil, and it was strange that the alliance did not have the participation of the first knight, but now it seems that the other party has come to the new copy world like him.

"Decade?"

RX looked slightly tired at the trail of flames that never went out.

He can be regarded as having a lot of dealings with this mysterious knight, and was even saved by the other party once in the "Oz" dungeon.

It was precisely because of that time that the other party defeated the agent of Consortium X that it became a real decade.

He was one of the Witnesses when he was turned into a Knight Card, but he didn't tell the Coalition the details.

This is a true knight like a god.

Thinking of this, the RX took advantage of the fog to clear all traces, including the trail of flames.

The alliance still needs him to investigate it himself, so don't get involved in it.

……

On the other side of the forest.

Because of the relationship between meeting the alliance exploration team, Xia Chuan did not lift the transformation for the time being.

The appearance of this doppelganger is easily reminiscent of "Pallad", and there are still many things that need to be dealt with by the doppelganger later, so there is no need to expose it so early.

Although the knight form will increase the strength of the world's repulsion, his own ability will also be increased, so that he will not be like a blind man, who can only perceive more than ten meters around him.

"Whew!"

Facing the strange sound of the wind through the forest full of orange and red fallen leaves, Xia Chuan sensed a huge ruin scene.

From just now, he wondered that the battlefield he saw after crossing time and space did not look like the Forest of Heim.

Now that I think about it, the Haym Forest should be in the same state of space-time chaos as the Demon Gem World.

The Heim Forest is the Heim Forest, and this world is this world.

This is actually some apocalyptic planet that has been eroded by the Heim Forest.

It could be an alien planet, or it could be a parallel Earth in a different timeline of Armor.

"Wow!"

Xia Chuan's figure teleported to the edge of the mountain, and the ruins of a city covered in trees and vines officially came into view.

Magnificent stone buildings, regular streets, and a royal palace with a huge stone tower in the middle of the city, as if you can see the light and shadow of a once prosperous civilization.

However, now only desolation and loneliness remain, and the buildings covered by plants are all gray and white, silently exuding the breath of time.

Forest vegetation, which is supposed to symbolize life, is only seen in the ruins.

Pictures buried by time quickly flashed through Xia Chuan's mind.

It was the last moment of the forest, the tranquility of the ancient city was shattered, and the Heim Forest spread like mold throughout the city in an instant.

The unique fruits of the forest can be found everywhere, and many passers-by can't resist the temptation to rush to devour them, and soon the streets are full of humans who have been broken out by vines, and they are completely devoured in an instant.

By the end of the day, the entire city's survivors have turned into irrational monsters.

A scene of the destruction of civilization reappeared in front of Xia Chuan's eyes, and then turned back to reality in a blink of an eye.

Xia Chuan walked into the ruins city step by step, and everywhere he could see the remnants of the destruction of the past.

The collapsed statues and scattered ancient stone tools have long been pierced by vines, and they turn into flying ash and collapse just by touching, and the pots and pans that can be seen occasionally have not been able to resist weathering, and they are brittle and burst into dust before they are picked up by Xia Chuan.

"It's a horrible plant."

Natsukawa's gaze turned to the vines and special fruits that emerged from the cracks in the stones.

This is indeed an independent world, and the information hidden in the planet's memory has been partially read by him, which can be regarded as an indirect understanding of the Heim Forest.

Just like an alien species invaded, these plants destroyed ecosystems before the end of civilization.

The first is that the seeds invade through spatial fissures, which have overwhelming fecundity and pollute the land, resulting in only the Heim Forest plant remaining.

In addition, the forest can also dominate the indigenous people who have eaten the fruit, thus further spreading the seeds and expanding the forest area.

Terrifying creatures.

"Rustle."

A priest-elder-like overlord outlander emerges from the ruins, pale silver exoskeleton armor and several feather bands hanging from the hooded head.

"Are you here for the forbidden fruit?" The white outlander's voice was old, "Every time a new world is eroded, this forest will give birth to a forbidden fruit, and you, as an outsider, are not eligible to obtain it. ”

Xia Chuan sensed it the moment the white alien appeared, and a telekinetic shield was quickly formed in front of him.

Despite not feeling threatened, the intense coercion brought by the White Outlanders could not be ignored.

The boss of this forest?

"You ......"

Xia Chuan's thoughts were flying, and he quickly locked down the identity of the comer.

It seems to be the holder of the golden fruit in "Armor", a boss who is not a boss.

"The forbidden fruit is a reward for the challenger of the forest," the white outlander seemed to have not seen Xia Chuan's defense, and was immersed in his own memory, "Transcending the fate of destruction and advancing to the next round of evolution, this is also the glory I once received, but unfortunately, my civilization is still going to perish." ”

"Wow!"

An apple of energy glowing with a golden glow was held up by the White Outlander.

"You can manipulate the plants of this forest for your own use, and change the power to reshape the world at will, I won't give it to you."
