"Then in the end, there is this one who has not been resolved." Shang Luo glanced at the top of his head: the Forest King's blood bar was still there, and the last little bit of blood was still locked in gold.

That's what the Romans had been doing before. After they had taken the golden branch at this step, they went away, and left the king of the forest who had been cut down there. However, the ceremony of breaking branches originally existed for the purpose of crowning the king of the forest, and it is a very outrageous act to only need the golden branch instead of the throne.

And if the ritual is to be completed, it is necessary to replace the king of the forest himself. At this time, the king of the forest was flattened to the ground, pressing out a large zigzag shape of five bodies thrown to the ground. There were at least 5 dragon tooth soldiers on both hands and feet, and there were several of them standing like arhats. Dragontooth soldiers stacked on top of each other, all stuck together. If it weren't for the fact that the dragon tooth soldiers themselves didn't need to breathe, they should have been squeezed to death first.

He tugged at his ridiculously heavy hunting knife and walked towards the Forest King. Sensing that the end was near, the Forest King's roar became less and less human. However, the Dragontooth Soldier is a stone in the physical sense, and he can't move it at all.

Seeing Shang Luo coming, the dragon tooth soldiers also moved out of the way a little, giving up the "head" of the Forest King—but still a few pairs of large hands pressed its head itself, only exposing its neck.

Shang Luo also knew what to do. The hunting knife in his hand was used to perform the ritual. It is said to be a hunting knife, but this is actually also a sacrificial knife. Because the power to distribute the sacrifice was one of the earliest royal powers, the slaughter of the sacrifice was a symbol of domination.

This hunting knife was obviously used to slaughter the forest king himself.

Dragging the hunting knife, he walked up to the king of the forest, his pale neck exposed, waiting for him to go up and "make a knife".

He half-crouched in front of the Forest King. At this time, the king of the forest was like a pit bull that had been held down, and his head was still struggling with his head pressed into the soil.

"Offended." Seeing the Forest King become like this, he still couldn't bear to hold up his hunting knife, ready to give the Forest King a good time.

With a thud, the hunting knife came out of his hand, and the hilt slammed into the forest king's head, smashing his head into the ground three inches more. The king of the forest screamed even harder.

"Ahh He hurriedly picked up the knife, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to! This knife is so heavy! ”

He didn't mean not to take it. Rather, this ancient hunting knife has no gauntlets, just a smooth bronze. If you want to say what it looks like, it's very much like a Warring States sword coin. It was so small that it was hard for him to hold on to his whole hand, and it was indeed easy to get out of his hand.

"This time I must have a good time. Offended! ”

He raised his hunting knife and stabbed it into the forest king's neck.

"I'll definitely be back!" The voice full of hatred and resentment faded away, and everything was quiet.

The array dispersed, and Shang Luo himself walked out of the middle of the dragon tooth soldiers who were exiting.

"Is it done?" Titus asked. His biggest concern now is whether the ceremony can be completed on time.

Shang Luo pointed backwards - the laurel tree is gone, and the forest king is gone. There is no trace where the laurel tree disappeared, and there is a human-shaped pit where the forest king disappeared. The position of the head is deeply embedded in the soil, and the dead form does not look peaceful at all.

"Finally, it's done. The one you have in your hand is. Hunting Knife ??? ”

"You know?"

"On the statue, it's Diana's hunting knife. You just used this hunting knife to finish off the King of the Forest? This has never been done before, and it looks like you're doing the ritual of breaking the branches correctly. But why isn't it over yet? He looked up. The health bar is gone, the King of the Forest is gone, even the trees are gone. But the lighthouse system hasn't gotten them out yet.

[Please claim the clearance reward.] 】

"Huh?" Shang Luo looked back, "Are there any other rewards that you haven't taken?" He even took the hunting knife, is there anything left? ”

If you look closely, there is indeed a beam of light shining in the grass in the distance.

"Ah, that's the one." Titus pointed to the grass, "That's the Forest King's sword. Remember what I said at the beginning? The King of the Forest is also the King of Swords, so the original reward should have been that sword. I don't know where this hunting knife came from, but since you got it while you broke the branch, it should be a super double hidden reward. However, you'll still have to get a normal playthrough reward to end the ritual. ”

"I see." Shang Luo almost forgot about it, because he didn't see the Forest King fight back with his sword the whole time. Although the old man's swordsmanship was good, he was pressed to the ground the whole time, and the sword that belonged to him was scattered all the time.

Shang Luo went back to pick up the sword. When he got closer, he could tell the color of the sword - it was purple.

There are also purple item names displayed on that sword:

[Epic: Sword of the Forest King.] 】

He reached out and weighed it. The size of a one-handed sword, the weight of a two-handed sword. Although it is heavier, it is still in the range of ordinary weapons. If it weren't for the Moon God's hunting knife, he would probably have felt that this sword was a good reward. Now, I always feel a little chicken. He already has a spear, a longsword, and a short sword in his hand, and it's not bad for such a chicken rib that can't be up or down - although the rewards for clearing the level are a bit bad, but he really doesn't lack this one.

When he picked up the sword in his hand, invisible fluctuations vibrated around him. Birdsong and insect chirping, springs and wind – the sounds of nature are back, and the moon is brighter and clearer. The ceremony is over.

With a hunting knife in one hand and a sword in the other, he walked back again. Sticking his sword into the ground beside him, he asked the hunting knife first:

Carrying the knife in both hands, he asked Titus, "Is this reasonable?" ”

"Reasonable? What's the problem? ”

"You touch it yourself."

Titus stretched out two fingers to twist it—and sure enough, the hunting knife didn't move. He put on his hand again before he could barely pick up the knife.

"Good guys!" He carefully put the hunting knife back into Shang Luo's hand, "Is this an artifact?" So heavy? ”

"Is there any way you can store it?"

"Wait a minute." He pressed the microphone and asked, "No way, we haven't seen each other before." So it's up to you. ”

"Okay." He asked Apollonia, "So do you have a way?" ”

[Why don't you just store your equipment in your backpack?] Anyway, there is no weight in the backpack, and there is weight after equipping. 】

"Do I have a backpack? It's not really a game! ”

[Ahh Truly. I want to think about it, why don't you check it in first? 】

"No, it's too important. This is an artifact made of golden branches, and I don't dare to give it to someone else. ”

[Then carry it, you can only carry it. ] Or you ask them for a holster with a gun on their backs, and share the weight on their shoulders while I go back and study it. If you can find a way to inject phlogiston, you should be able to make it your thing. That deer didn't do anything at all, why didn't he write the user agreement as well. 】

"I said it was the moon god's hunting knife, not mine. Tsk, okay, I'll carry it like this first, and then I'll talk about it later. It's time to exercise, after all, I am also a martial artist. ”
