In the dark forest, a thin figure was breathing heavily.
He is Gretel, the human being who was once driven by a curse and had to cross the entire Dia to go to the City of Shadows.
After arriving in the City of Shadows, he got his wish and met the mysterious necromancer, and the curse that existed in his body was lifted. Before he could feel lucky, he encountered something even more terrifying.
Scarlet light fell from the sky, and the necromancers gathered in the City of Shadows were all transformed into hideous vampires under the influence of some unknown force.
Gretel was attacked by those vampires, and the mysterious necromancer abandoned him at the last moment and allowed the vampires to tear him into pieces.
Just when death was about to come, feeling the fear that almost overwhelmed his whole body, Gretel felt something burst out in his body, maybe it was a special power, maybe it was some kind of will, Gretel couldn't tell. By the time he came to his senses, he had already left the City of Shadows and arrived in this completely unfamiliar place.
Gretel didn't know where this place was. He looked around. There were tall trees all around. The trees had lush branches and leaves, almost blocking the entire sky, and even the light was dim.
Different from the forest in Grete's impression, there is no breath of living things in this dense forest, and there is deathly silence all around. If you sense it carefully, you can feel a faint death energy, covering the entire dense forest.
For Gretel at this time, getting out of this dense forest was undoubtedly his first priority. After thinking for a while, he decided to move in the direction with the strongest death energy. Maybe there were other necromancers there.
In order to guide the way in the deep jungle, the necromancer will deliberately use the energy of death as a mark, which also provides convenience to Gretel at this time.
As they walked forward, there was silence all around. The only thing Gretel could hear was his own breathing. Fear swept through his heart and he began to run wildly.
Just when Gretel was exhausted, some different scenes finally appeared in front of his eyes.
Countless beast carcasses were just thrown around randomly, including many huge beasts. They all have hideous wounds from bites, and none of them is complete.
Physical exhaustion made Gretel ignore the surrounding environment. It was only now that he smelled the strong smell in the air, which was the smell of decay. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the city of the undead in Diya.
After tremblingly exploring the remains of these beasts, he discovered that some of the bloody beast corpses still had residual warmth, and the blood had not completely coagulated, indicating that these remains had just been left behind.
Recalling the death energy that existed in the dense forest, Gretel seemed to realize something. It was not the marks left by the necromancer to guide the road, but the death energy naturally produced after too many creatures died.
Gretel swallowed secretly, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing again just after escaping from the hands of the Necromancer. Gretel couldn't imagine what kind of existence had created everything he saw before him.
Gretel didn't want to explore the secrets of this place, he just wanted to escape to a safe place. Just as he slowly retreated, a huge shadow rose from behind him, completely covering his body.
Waves of warm air came from behind Gretel. He turned around tremblingly, and a huge green monster appeared in front of him.
Recalling the knowledge he had learned, Gretel immediately recognized that the hill-like green monster in front of him was the legendary dragon. However, Gretel had never heard of a dragon having multiple heads at the same time.
The green monster in front of him is exactly like this. He clearly has the strong body of a giant dragon, but he has grown four uncoordinated dragon heads, and the decorations near each dragon head are also different.
"How could this happen..." Gretel said. He had just escaped from the Necromancer and had not yet seen any hope of living, but he encountered such a terrifying creature again, which naturally made him extremely unwilling.
"Human? It's human!" A burst of excited female voice reached Gretel's ears. Gretel was stunned and looked around carefully, and finally came to a conclusion that surprised him. It was the person who made this sound. The green monster in front of me is, to be precise, one of its dragon heads wearing a garland.
What surprised Gretel was that the green monster in front of him didn't seem to be talking to him. The people she was talking to were the other dragon heads of the green monster.
"He is indeed a human... It's strange. There shouldn't be a gathering place for humans around here." A steady male voice came from another dragon head of the green monster. This is the only dragon without any decoration. head.
"By eating him, our bloodline can be further strengthened." A hoarse female voice came from the dragon head covered in animal skin, which contained some kind of desire.
In addition to these three dragon heads, the last dragon head that exists on the green monster has its mouth tightly wrapped in chains and cannot make any sound, but there is a kind of pride in its eyes. Being stared at by the chained dragon head, Gretel felt that he was being stared at by some kind of higher-level existence.
Hearing these dragon heads discussing about eating themselves, Gretel suddenly became anxious and said quickly: "You can't just eat me...I, I can bring you other humans."
"Is there any difference?" asked the dragon head covered in animal skin, "All creatures will become part of our bloodline. Whether it is you or other humans, they will be devoured by us sooner or later."
A certain trembling emotion spread in Gretel's heart, and he said anxiously: "But...if possible, I hope that I am the last human being to be eaten..."
A steady male voice interrupted Gretel: "You said you can lead us to find more humans. Is this true?"
As if he had caught some hope, Gretel hurriedly said: "Yes, whether it is ordinary humans or those necromancers, I can help you find them."
"Okay!" The dragon head wearing a wreath on his head cheered, "Hurry and take us to a gathering place of nearby humans. I can't wait to see the new humans!"
Grete nodded tremblingly. He always felt that the green monster in front of him had an indescribable weirdness.
The undecorated dragon head was held on the back of the green monster. Gretel rose into the sky with the monster, and then flew in one direction.
