Nock walked cautiously through the dry forest.

The dark dead forest made Nock feel very depressed.

With every step he took, he felt uncomfortable.

It's as if it's exposed to a myriad of sights.

But Nock had looked closely, and there was no living thing around except dead wood or dead wood.

But this oppressive silence gave Nock the feeling of facing the strange Cred.

Even, for safety, Nock touched the dead wood around him with his hand to confirm that these were not hallucinations, and the touch in his hand told him that these were real dead wood.

Nock didn't know how long he had been or how far he had come.

He had despaired of the vastness of the dead woods.

The orb of light above his head had begun to flicker erratically.

This is a sign that Nok's divine power is exhausted.

If this continues, his physical strength will decline, and his divine power will be exhausted, but he will have no ability to protect himself.

"Damn it! What the hell is this place! Could it be that Nock Lane, who has a promising future, is going to be buried in this unknown dead forest? I'm not reconciled! ”

The irascible Nock no longer concealed his movements, and loudly vented his dissatisfaction.

"Unwilling!"

"Unwilling!"

"Hee-hee!"

The words "unwilling" echoed all around, as if they were echoing.

But Nock still keenly caught a "hee-hee" laugh.

"Who! Who's there! ”

Nock turned to look in the direction where the laughter came from, but just then, Nok's lighting went out.

"Not good! It's been discovered! ”

"Discovered!"

"Discovered!"

"It's fun!"

"It's fun!"

"What should I do?"

"What should I do?"

"Discovered, kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

In the darkness, a group of strange voices emerged from all around.

Sharp and unforgiving.

Although they parroted the words of their companions, the content of the words made Nock's heart sink.

Obviously, this group of unknown creatures has bad intentions towards Nock.

"Filthy evil, don't try to intimidate the servants of the Holy Lord!"

"O all-powerful Lord, send down your light and dispel the darkness before my eyes!"

"Divine Radiance!"

Nock chanted the magic spell loudly, but with a "divine light", Nock only flashed a glimmer of light in the palm of his outstretched hand in front of him, and then nothing happened.

The magic has failed!

Nock's divine power is exhausted!

"O my lord! Are you going to abandon your faithful Ryan? ”

Nock was a little emotionally broken and screamed uncontrollably, and his feet involuntarily kept retreating, trying to get farther away from the darkness in front of him.

"Kill him, kill him!"

Perhaps it was the emotional breakdown of Nok, and the creatures in the darkness rushed towards Nok.

Suddenly, an emotionally broken Nock suddenly had a triumphant smile on his face.

"Now is the time to wait!"

"Look at my secret art, Great Spitfire!"

Nock pulled out something from his backpack with both hands, lifted the thing in his left hand and blew hard.

A string of sparks flew up, and a faint flame rose, and it turned out to be a fire break!

The thumb of his right hand pushed the wooden plug of the water bladder in his hand, and poured a mouthful of the liquid into his mouth.

Holding the flaming fire fold in front of him, Nock squirted the liquid in his mouth forward.

"Bear!"

The jet of liquid swept through the flames, forming a huge tongue of fire that swept forward.

"Crackle!"

The black shadow that swarmed up didn't expect that Nok, who was already "tied up", would suddenly fight back, and was instantly sprayed by tongues of fire, igniting his body.

"Crunch!"

The shadow let out a strange scream.

"Fire! Fire! Fire! ”

"He has fire! He actually lit a fire! ”

"Kill him! Kill him! ”

The black shadow in the distance panicked, and the voice sounded a little screaming! They all moved away from their ignited companions.

Seeing that his calculation had succeeded, Nock did not dare to delay, and continued to turn the liquid in his mouth into tongues of fire in the other direction, spraying it towards the black shadow.

Although the black shadows were on guard this time, because they were gathered together, even if they were on guard, they had no room to dodge, and could only watch as the tongue of fire crept up their bodies.

"Hot! Scald! Scald! ”

The panicked cries rang out again, and the air was filled with the sound of "crackling, crackling".

"We fought with him!"

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

In the darkness, there was a burst of breaking sounds.

Nock took advantage of the fires that had ignited around him to see slender black shadows flying towards him.

Nock hurriedly rolled to the side, avoiding the attack as he shoved the water bladder in his mouth again.

"Bear!"

Nock looked up at the front and spewed out a tongue of fire again.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Perhaps in a hurry, Nock accidentally swallowed a mouthful of liquid in his mouth, and the spicy taste choked Nock's throat so hot that he couldn't help coughing.

It turned out that his water bladder was not water at all, it was a bag of spirits!

Fire excerpts with spirits, this is the "secret art of fire" that Nock learned from books about the Crusade!

I haven't really used it in battle for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be effective when I used it for the first time!

By the light of the fire, Nock finally saw the monster that surrounded him.

As he expected, these talking black shadows are those ordinary-looking dead wood!

It's just that the dead wood in front of him is no longer lifeless like what Nock saw before, but human faces and mouths have grown on the trunks one by one, and various cries are coming out of their mouths.

The dancing branches are like their arms, eerie and terrifying in the dark.

The slender black shadows that attacked Nok were their pitch-black roots!

This is a group of withered tree spirits who have been contaminated by dark forces and formed strange lives!

No wonder Nok couldn't get out of the range of the dead forest no matter how he walked, Nok estimated that in the process of moving, the group of dead tree spirits who were going to tease him were also secretly moving with him.

That's why Nock felt that the dead woods were vast!

Fortunately, Nock had already sensed that something was wrong, and deliberately showed panic, and sure enough, it led to their horses' feet.

Noran recognized the identity of the withered tree spirit, but Nock didn't feel easy.

Although the fire is woody, Nok only has a water bladder of wine in his hand, and the number of enemies is unknown.

As long as Nock makes a mistake, he is likely to be hated on the spot!

Shout!

Just as Nock was thinking about this strategy, there was a sharp sound of breaking the air behind him.

"Not good!"

Nock dodged with instinctive sideways.

"Smack!"

A root, at least finger-thick, whipped like a whip on Nock's left shoulder.

"Shhh

Nock gasped in pain, and as soon as he let go of his left hand, the fire fold in his hand fell to the ground.

His left arm was dislocated all at once!

"Quick, quick, quick! He's out of fire! ”

In the dark, the drywood was very excited, and frantically activated the root system, attacking the nock.

Nock looked at the fire folds on the ground that he didn't have time to pick up, and the fire that was so faint that it was about to be extinguished.

Gritting his teeth, he threw the water bladder in his hand at the fire fold.

Syllable! The water bladder fell next to the fire fold, and the liquor inside sprayed out and flowed to the ground.

The spilled liquor was scattered on the fire breaker.

"Bear!"

"Bear!"

The scattered liquor was ignited by the flames, which, along with the fallen water bladder, formed a small sea of fire.

"Crackle!"

It just so happened that the roots of a tree spirit passed through the sea of fire and ignited in an instant.

"No!"

The tree spirit that was ignited with the roots was panicked, and waved the roots wildly, trying to shake off the flames on their bodies.

"Rubbish!"

"Boom!"

There was an angry rebuke from the darkness, and the tree spirit that was wielding its roots was smashed by a thick root, and it lost its life in an instant.

The panicked sounds around him suddenly stopped, and the dead tree spirits all calmed down, forming a queue left and right, freeing up the space in the middle.

Under the illumination of the firelight, a huge figure, accompanied by the sound of footsteps of "knock, knock, knock", appeared in Nock's sight.

It was a huge dead tree element, visually at least ten meters tall.

On the pitch-black body, a black mist was entwined, and in the mist, a flickering ghost could be faintly seen.

Is this the king of the withered tree spirits?!

Nok was shocked by the tree king in front of him, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

In the encirclement formed by the withered tree spirits, several scattered piles of flames turned into jokes in front of the huge tree king.

Nock estimated that even if he threw all the flames on the ground on the body of the tree king, it was estimated that he would not be able to burn a single piece of tree bark!

"You were the first human to break into our territory and kill my people. You are eligible to be a part of the King's body. Kneel down and let the king pluck your soul and make you the nourishment of the king! ”

"Too!"

Nock spat disdainfully, drooped his left arm, and straightened up.

He looked directly at the Tree King and said, "Filthy heretics, how dare you trample on my glory!" I will judge you for my lord. ”

The Tree King opened his pitch-black mouth and laughed wildly, "Ho ho! You're a human mage whose magic has run out, and you still want to die? You can't frighten this king by the name of those sleeping gods! Gods, it's not like this king hasn't been killed! ”

The Tree King's voice echoed through the space like thunder, shaking Nock's ears with pain.

Nock looked at the laughing Tree King, his eyes firm and cold.

Resisting the discomfort of his ears, he slowly opened his mouth and said in a firm and resolute voice: "Heresy will eventually be annihilated in chaos and arrogance. The light of our Lord will shine on the earth forever! Prepare for the coming judgment, heresy! ”

Nock's words angered the Tree King.

"Good! This king will take it upon himself to dismantle you! ”

"Go! Wail the undead! ”

The Tree King's big branch-like hand waved at Nok, and the black mist wrapped around it flew out and rushed towards Nok.
