Zhao Tianhe instructed Johnny on the various points of flying before taking him to the Blood Forest with him.

Although the trees in this Blood Forest are all mortal, the road that Zhao Tianhe cut out all the way through the rough customs yesterday has been restored to its original state.

Fortunately, with his memory and sense of direction, he had already formed a detailed three-dimensional map model in his brain, and it was impossible to get lost as long as he didn't encounter illusions.

Johnny is a man of few words, and Zhao Tianhe tries to ask him about the Death Sacrifice, but all he gets is silence.

"I know you mages can't be stupid, but...... You can also be a megalomaniac. Johnny said after a long silence, and then said nothing.

'Well, seeing is believing?' But in this way, this kid knows a lot about the strength of those monsters and the situation of this blood forest, which is interesting. Seeing this, Zhao Tianhe didn't get angry or refute, just smiled slightly, and then flew in the direction of the fallen land god he met yesterday.

Needless to say, this kind of difficult monster that can be ground to death with its own strength is really pleasant and fulfilling!

Although it is not pulled into the infinite land, it is more refreshing to open a big wheel and die.

But the density of monsters in this forest is too low, and the group has already crossed the location where they encountered the fallen land god yesterday for half an hour, but they have never encountered a single monster.

'Alas! Even if it's a wandering mountain girl, let's have one! Zhao Tianhe sighed helplessly.

However, flying and flying, Artoria frowned, the hair on her head was slightly lowered, and then in an instant, her magic power was released and rushed to Zhao Tianhe's back!

While!

A deafening sound of metal colliding sounded, and when the firelight burst out, a looming silhouette appeared behind Zhao Tianhe......

Artoria used her strength to pick the thing away, but even so, Zhao Tianhe didn't hear any signs of the inexplicable existence at all.

It's a silent thing......

Zhao Tianhe balanced his perception ability and found that if he observed with a high level of vision, he could see a blurry cloud of distorted air.

'The surrounding air currents are subtly collapsing towards this guy...... Zhao Tianhe discovered this vague and distorted truth, and immediately frowned, and at the same time fired a seventh-level spell tarsal bone hell fire.

As the name suggests, this spell is a very difficult damage over time spell that will last until you hang up.

And the way it was cast was also very difficult to guard against, only to see a blue and red magic array gushing out around the twisted air, and then a wave of fire waves closed in the middle.

Now the true face of the monster was revealed, but only slightly more specifically.

It was a slender humanoid creature about five meters tall, with unusually long limbs, more than four meters when extended, and looked like a spider with half a leg missing, and a weapon similar to a mace in its left hand.

"It's ...... Devourer......" Johnny said with a frown. "I can't say specifically, at least not now."

"You don't have to say it." Zhao Tianhe shook his head with a smile.

With a clear goal, Artoria naturally will not be vain, and will fight with him when she swings her sword.

Although this monster looks thin, its strength is not small at all, and Artoria can only fight with it when she raises her magic power by two levels.

And it can be seen that this is because the monster is constantly burned by fire magic, because the painful action is hindered.

So the next moment, the monster that realized this directly devoured the fire magic on its body.

"It's very simple, it seems that devouring a more powerful magic will damage it, although I don't know what it will lose......" Seeing this, Zhao Tianhe increased his weight again, and hit the Chaos Annihilation State with a move of tenth-level compound magic!

I saw a magic array appear around the monster, and the way this magic was released was the same as that of the tarsal fire.

In the next moment, a strange gas that slowly drifted away like smoke and was colorful and strange came out of the magic array and entangled itself in the monster.

Although the chaotic annihilation state of that one after another did not seem to be very remarkable, it was formed by mixing and matching a variety of magical elements in a certain proportion. Usually, the power cannot be seen under the suppression of the technique, but once it is liberated, it has the effect of annihilating all things in the world, according to Zhao Tianhe, it should be something like antimatter.

Of course, this is not talking about scientific antimatter, but magic, because this thing does not cause an explosion, but will very calmly ignore all defenses and wipe out matter or energy.

In general, the state of this magic is quite similar to the ability of this devourer, and Zhao Tianhe also wants to try to see if this tenth-level magic can restrain the other party, but to be honest, his confidence is not very great.

Chaos Annihilation entangled around the monster, and although it intuitively realized that this thing was not a good thing and wanted to dodge, it was never able to use all its strength to dodge under Artoria's full attack.

In the end, I can only be entangled in this thing......

One after another, the chaotic annihilation state clinged to the monster's body like a chain, and further attached to it to compress the volume, and finally looked more like a tattoo.

Then Zhao Tianhe said to Artoria to run, and this magic was detonated.

The next moment, a violent hissing of air began to sound, as if an ancient beast was taking a deep breath......

Due to the chaotic annihilation state constantly erasing the air, a vacuum has appeared, and the strong suction force caused by the pressure is like a tornado, which constantly attracts the surrounding air to it, but it is more chaotic than the tornado.

Zhao Tianhe grabbed Johnny's collar, and several flying swords were across the two of them, plus the protection of the wind barrier, which could be regarded as stopping the forward momentum of the two.

Artoria didn't have to worry about it, and the monster known as the Devourer actually looked like it was nothing, just waving its limbs and twisting its body, and judging from its silhouette, it didn't seem to be injured by the magic.

'Doesn't it work?' It can't see its expression, and it can't make a sound in this situation...... 'Zhao Tianhe frowned and carefully perceived it, but he couldn't be sure if he had caused harm to him.

But the next moment he was sure that he had indeed hurt the other party.

Because in an instant, everything within a radius of hundreds of meters disappeared, and all the air dust was gone!

Of course, it also includes the spells sent out by Zhao Tianhe, and judging from the temptation just now, this monster will only choose to activate this devouring ability when it realizes that a certain substance will threaten itself.

And this time, the devouring range it launched was much larger than just now, and it was a little redundant, which felt like an overreaction of a creature after being damaged......

'Do you hate this?' Then continue to ......' Zhao Tianhe saw this and started casting spells directly, and Artoria also changed into an F-girl dress and pressed up with full firepower to buy time.

The Devourer's erasing ability, though powerful, had never been used against Artoria.

And the devouring it launched after that was indeed unable to inflict a one-hit kill on Artoria, and Johnny had already been placed by Zhao Tianhe to hide in the distance.

After all, that kind of devouring move will definitely not be able to withstand him, even if it is stained with a little aftermath, he will die on the spot, and there will be no ashes left.

"My strength has decreased!" Artoria suddenly yells after being hit, and is knocked away by the Devourer.

Is this what it's called devouring? Although it is not possible to kill a powerful unit directly, it can be devoured conceptually...... Zhao Tianhe licked his lips, looking at the devourer who was stunned and rushing towards him, he was a little reluctant to let go of the sword.

The flying sword brought out by the Infinity Gate was missing a single one, and Zhao Tianhe was definitely reluctant to do so.

The Devourer was not stupid, he had already realized that Zhao Tianhe was the caster who released spells on it, so he endured it for a while and suddenly released his skills to rush in and destroy him.

However, Zhao Tianhe just smiled coldly, and released a tenth-level spell in his hand to slash the next day!

This is a very rare melee spell among the tenth-level spells, and it is a powerful mana value that instantly splits a large area of space and condenses its fragments into an indestructible sword!

I saw Zhao Tianhe holding a two-handed sword with a hazy color, and directly fought hard with this monster.

Even Artoria suffered a big loss at the hands of this monster, and Zhao Tianhe naturally couldn't please him, and even people with swords were directly knocked away.

But just as the monster was about to chase after him, the whole person flew upside down.

I saw three sword-blade-shaped distorted spaces slash at its body at some point, and although it couldn't penetrate its defenses, it forced it back.

Zhao Tianhe put down the big sword in his hand and let out a sigh, those distorted spaces were naturally spell effects of the next day.

This spell can increase the user's power through space warp, randomly exerting 2~6 times the power, of course, not only the multiplier is random, but even the attack position is random.

And these powers are not for nothing, but from Zhao Tianhe.

This spell is actually a multiplier attack that allows the user to accelerate the attack by distorting space and the law of cause and effect, which is a kind of unfathomable theory that requires years of research before it can be cast, and is second only to the top-level spell of god-level magic.

But Zhao Tianhe just glanced at the effect and name of this spell casually, and then he was able to download it.

It's a pity that this spell can only be used by the caster himself, otherwise if it is blessed to Artoria, the devourer will not be able to die on the spot!

On the other side, Artoria seized the opportunity to thrust with all her might, and the blue and white light turned into a spiral spike and hit the Devourer in the back!

This time, the blade of the sword pierced directly through the body of this guy. Unlike the Mountain Maiden and the Earth God, it uses its weapons to block and defend against Artoria's slashes.

"Ahhhh

This time, Artoria didn't have time to raise her sword to block for some reason!

'Is agility devoured?' Zhao Tianhe's brows furrowed, and several high-level curses of the sluggish and weak type hit him.

This thing actually eats curses, but it can devour curses with just one ability!

But it is clear that devouring something or element other than other people's attributes only consumes its power in vain without giving it any gain.

And there seems to be a gap between devouring and devouring......

Zhao Tianhe thought about it, and began to curse continuously while holding his sword on guard!

As a result, as Zhao Tianhe thought, the weakness of this devourer was that its ability was cooled.

If you want to devour other people's attributes, you can't eliminate your own negative state, and if you want to eliminate negative states, you can't devour other people's attributes.

And Zhao Tianhe's skillful curse burst can just make him take care of himself, if you eliminate the curse, you won't be able to withstand Artoria's attack, especially when Artoria's attributes are returned.

And if you want to devour Artoria's attributes, the strength of the curse will continue to accumulate, and the result will be hammered, and it will be even worse! Because his devouring speed was far less than Zhao Tianhe's curse reduction!

Eventually, the Devourer was beheaded by Artoria with a sword.

But before he died, the Devourer erupted into a wave of devouring force with an astonishing range.

Zhao Tianhe and Artoria's all attributes have dropped by a full hundred points, but compared to this, Zhao Tianhe is more worried about Johnny, but fortunately, Johnny himself also knows that he will spare his life, so he took the initiative to retreat a distance and survived.

However, the side effects of this all-out devouring were still quite troublesome, and Zhao Tianhe and Artoria had to rest for more than five hours before they could continue fighting.

In this way, when it comes to disgusting, this devourer who doesn't look amazing is actually the most excessive!

"Really......" Artoria frowned and changed back to her normal spirit clothes. Anyway, let's take a break. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Tianhe also nodded helplessly.

A 100-point drop in all stats is fine for him, but Artoria is not, her strength lies in the powerful secondary attributes provided by the primary stat, such as a little strength she can get 3 attack points or something. So once her attributes are greatly reduced, I'm afraid she won't even be able to beat Zhao Tianhe......

And then it's time for the rewards

Low-level primordial life magic essence

Low-level chaotic life magic essence

A low-grade peeling solution that consumes this item to perfectly peel a low-grade gem out of the setting

Intermediate Drill, a rare bonus, punches two holes in the specified equipment that can be used for inlays

A low-level Essence of Nothingness, which removes a normal option from the list of rewards and replaces it with a rare reward

Devouring Blade

Devouring Blade, unknown level, one-handed dagger

Attack 0~160

Special effects, passive skills, armor stripping, each attack can reduce the opponent's base defense by 1~3 points, and convert it into weapon attack power, which lasts for 5 minutes, and has no stacking limit

The weapon is definitely not needed without looking at it, even if it can be upgraded, even if the weapon effect is very good, it is definitely not as good as Artoria's +10 weapon, not to mention Zhao Tianhe, who doesn't need an attack weapon at all.

In fact, Zhao Tianhe really wanted an intermediate drill and a low-level stripping solution, but it was still the same sentence, that is, combat power was the most real, so Zhao Tianhe chose to gamble!

He chose a low-level Void Essence, and then swapped out the Devouring Blade.

When he changed it, he was thinking, since there must be a piece of equipment for each reward, then replacing this weapon should be able to produce 100% rare equipment, right?

As a result, Zhao Tianhe really made the right bet!

Hand of Plunder, Rare Reward

Hand of Plunder, unknown level, Chainmail Gauntlet

Base Defense +20

+20 All Resistance

Special effects, passive skills, plundering power, each attack can reduce the opponent's strength value by 2~10 points and increase the corresponding strength for yourself, for 20 minutes, no stacking limit

As mentioned earlier, Artoria's strongest point is the secondary attribute increase brought by the main attribute, so this special ability that can plunder the opponent's strength value is simply a magic skill for Artoria!

Needless to say, it was naturally a direct choice!

Zhao Tianhe turned around and found Johnny, and asked with a smile, "How is it?" Now I'm entitled to know that secret, right? ”

Johnny looked at what Zhao Tianhe was doing, and his mouth opened wide in shock, but he still shook his head firmly and said, "No, you don't understand, I actually hope to solve this matter more than you, but ......"

Johnny looked down at the dry, hard dirt and tugged into it with the ten fingers of both hands, his expression was very complicated, as if he was surprised and painful......

"You're not strong enough!" It was a long moment before Johnny looked up and yelled. "Don't think you're done with a minion of this level! Unless you can defeat the Punisher, you won't have the slightest chance of winning! ”

"Punisher?" Zhao Tianhe frowned when he heard this and asked. "What is a punisher? Where is it? ”

"The Punisher will only appear when the Blood Forest is out of balance." Johnny explained with a sigh. "I don't know exactly what constitutes an imbalance, because the Punisher never showed up, it was just a ...... Legend...... I'm not sure about the legend either...... But theoretically, as long as you kill enough Blood Forest monsters, it will appear. ”

"Oh, I see." Zhao Tianhe smiled slightly and nodded and said. "It's a mini-boss! But ......"

Thinking of the strength of this little monster in the Blood Forest, Zhao Tianhe felt a little trembling.

'Boss level, 100% true king level didn't run...... Zhao Tianhe looked at Johnny and asked again. "So, what does the punisher look like in the doctrine of property? How strong? What about the capabilities? ”

"It's all unknown." Johnny shook his head and said with a wry smile. "As I said, the Punisher has never appeared, so how can we possibly know what it is capable of? And once the Punisher appears and you don't fix it...... I'm afraid the results will be terrible......"

"Because the Punisher is the messenger of destruction that will only appear at the end of the world, they will not be bound by the will of the Blood Forest, and they will rush to the Blood Forest to cause great destruction!" Johnny said with a serious expression. "So, you have to think clearly, are you really going to provoke that thing?"
