Nok walked carefully in the dry forest.
The dark dry forest made Nok feel very depressed.
Every time he moved, he felt uncomfortable all over.
It was as if he was exposed to countless sights.
But Nok had carefully observed that there were no living creatures at all except dead trees or dead trees.
But this oppressive silence made Nok feel like he was facing the strange Creed.
For safety's sake, Nok even touched the dead trees around him to confirm that these were not hallucinations. The touch in his hands told him that these were real dead trees.
Nok didn't know how long he had been gone, nor how far he had gone.
He already despaired of the vastness of this dry forest.
The light ball above his head had begun to flicker erratically.
This is a sign that Nok's divine power has been exhausted.
If this continues, his physical strength will decline and his divine power will be exhausted, and he will no longer be able to protect himself.
"Damn it! What the hell is this place! Could it be that Nook Lane, who has a promising future, is going to be buried in this unknown dead forest! I won't accept it!"
The irritable Nok no longer concealed his movements and vented his dissatisfaction loudly.
"Not willing to give in!"
"Not willing to give in!"
"whee!"
The words "unreconciled" echoed around, like an echo.
But Nok still keenly caught a "hee hee" laughter.
"Who! Who is there!"
Nok turned to look in the direction where the laughter came from, but at this moment, Nok's lighting technique went out.
"Not good! I've been discovered!"
"Discovered!"
"Discovered!"
"So happy!"
"So happy!"
"what to do?"
"what to do?"
"He's been discovered, kill him!"
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
In the darkness, a group of strange sounds came from all around.
Sharp and ruthless.
Although they were repeating the words of their companions around them like parrots, the content of their words made Nok's heart sink.
Obviously, this group of unknown creatures have no good intentions towards Nok.
"Dirty evil spirits, don't even think about threatening the servants of the Holy Lord!"
"O omnipotent Lord, please send down your light and dispel the darkness from my eyes!"
"Holy radiance!"
Nok recited the magical spell loudly, but with the sound of "holy radiance", Nok's palm stretched out in front of him just flashed a faint light with a "chi" sound, and then nothing happened. .
The activation of divine magic failed!
Nok's divine power is exhausted!
"My Lord! Are you going to abandon your faithful Ryan?"
Nok's mood was a bit broken and he shouted uncontrollably. His feet were involuntarily moving backwards, trying to get further away from the darkness in front of him.
"Kill him, kill him!"
Perhaps seeing Nok's emotional breakdown, the creatures in the darkness rushed toward Nok in a swarm.
Suddenly, a successful smile suddenly appeared on the face of the emotionally broken Nok.
"The wait is now!"
"Look at my secret technique: Great Fire Breathing!"
Nok took out something from the backpack behind his back with both hands, raised the thing in his left hand and blew out a sharp breath.
A string of sparks flew up, and a weak flame rose. It turned out to be a fire!
The thumb of his right hand pushed open the cork of the water bag in his hand, and he poured a mouthful of the liquid into his mouth and held it in his mouth.
Holding the burning fire stick in front of him, Nok suddenly spurted the liquid in his mouth forward.
"Bear!"
The jetted liquid swept over the flames, forming a huge tongue of flame that rolled forward fiercely.
"Crack!"
The swarming shadows did not expect that Nok, who was "ready to die", would suddenly fight back and was instantly sprayed by tongues of fire, igniting his body.
"Crunch!"
The shadows let out strange screams.
"Fire! Fire! Fire!"
"He has fire! He actually lit it!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
The black shadow in the distance panicked, and his voice sounded a bit harsh! They all moved away from their ignited companions.
Seeing that his plan was successful, Nok didn't dare to delay. He faced the other direction and continued to turn the liquid in his mouth into tongues of fire and sprayed 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 escape. They could only watch the tongues of fire crawling up their bodies.
"Hot! Hot! Hot!"
The panicked cry sounded again, and the air was filled with the sound of "cracking, crackling".
"We fought him!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In the darkness, there were bursts of sound breaking through the air.
Using the firelight that had been ignited around him, Nok saw the slender black shadows flying towards him.
Nok quickly rolled to the side to avoid the attack, and at the same time stuffed the water bag in his hand into his mouth again.
"Bear!"
Nok raised his head and faced forward, spitting out a tongue of fire again.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Perhaps in too much haste, Nok accidentally swallowed a mouthful of liquid in his mouth. The spicy taste made Nok's throat burn, making him cough uncontrollably.
It turned out that his water bag was not water at all, but a bag of strong liquor!
Pair the fire seeds with strong wine. This is the "Secret Technique of Fire" that Nok learned from the book about the Eastern Expedition!
I have never really used it in battle, but I didn’t expect that the first time I used it, the effect was outstanding!
By the light of the fire, Nok finally saw clearly the monsters surrounding him.
As he expected, these talking black figures were ordinary-looking dead trees!
It's just that the dead trees in front of him now no longer look lifeless like the ones Nok saw before. Instead, they have human faces and mouths growing on the trunks one by one, and various yelling sounds are coming from the mouths.
The dancing branches are like their arms, eerie and scary in the dark.
The slender black shadows that attacked Nok were their dark root systems!
This is a group of dead tree spirits who were contaminated by dark forces and formed strange lives!
No wonder Nok couldn't get out of the dead forest no matter how he walked. Nok estimated that while he was moving, the group of dead tree spirits who wanted to tease him were also secretly moving with him.
Therefore, Nok felt that the dead forest was vast and vast!
Fortunately, Nok had already noticed something was wrong and deliberately acted panicked, which indeed led them to take advantage of him.
Noran figured out the identity of the dead tree spirit, but Nok didn't feel relaxed.
Although fire defeats wood, Nok only has a water bag of wine in his hand, and the number of enemies is unknown.
As long as Nok makes a mistake, he is likely to be angry on the spot!
call out!
Just as Nok was thinking about this countermeasure, a sharp sound broke through the air behind him.
"not good!"
Nok relied on instinct to dodge sideways.
"Snapped!"
A tree root at least as thick as a finger struck Nok's left shoulder like a whip.
"hiss!"
Nok gasped in pain, and when he let go of his left hand, the fire stick in his hand fell to the ground.
His left arm was suddenly dislocated!
"Quick, quick, quick! He's out of steam!"
In the darkness, the dead tree spirit was very excited and frantically activated its roots to attack Nok.
Nok looked at the fire folder on the ground that he had no time to pick up, and the faint light of the fire that was about to go out.
Gritting his teeth, he swung the water bag containing wine in his hand towards the fire.
Snapped! The water bag fell next to Huozhezi, and the wine inside sprayed out and flowed all over the floor.
The spilled spirits were scattered on the fire folds.
"Bear!"
"raging!"
The scattered wine was ignited by the flames, and together with the fallen water bladder, formed a small sea of fire.
"Crack!"
It happened that the roots of a tree spirit passed through the sea of fire and were instantly ignited.
"No!"
The dryad whose roots were ignited was in a panic, waving its roots frantically in an attempt to get rid of the flames on its body.
"waste!"
"Boom!"
An angry shout came from the darkness, and the tree spirit that was waving its roots randomly was smashed by a thick root and lost its life instantly.
The panicked voices around them suddenly stopped, and the dead tree spirits actually calmed down and formed a queue on the left and right, freeing up the space in the middle.
Under the illumination of the fire, a huge figure appeared in Nok's sight, accompanied by the sound of "dong, dong, dong" footsteps.
This is a huge dead tree spirit, visually estimated to be at least ten meters tall.
The dark body was wrapped in black mist, and in the mist, the ghosts of the dead could be vaguely seen passing by.
Could this be the king of the dead tree spirit? !
Nok was shocked by the tree king in front of him and didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
In the circle formed by the dead tree spirit, a few piles of scattered flames turned into a joke in front of the huge tree king.
Nok estimated that even if he threw all the flames on the ground on the tree king, he probably wouldn't be able to burn a piece of bark!
"You are the first human being to break into our territory and kill my people. You are qualified to become a part of my body. Kneel down and let me take your soul and make you my nourishment! "
"Too!"
Nok spat disdainfully, drooped his left arm, and stood up straight.
He looked directly at the Tree King and said: "Dirty heretic, how dare you trample on my glory! I will judge you for my lord!"
The tree king opened his dark mouth and laughed wildly: "Hohoho! You are a human mage with exhausted magic power, and you still want to fight to the death? You can't scare me with the names of those sleeping gods! Neither are the gods, nor am I. Never killed!"
The Tree King's voice echoed in the space like muffled thunder, making Nok's ears hurt.
Nok looked at the laughing tree king with firm and cold eyes.
He resisted the discomfort in his ears, slowly opened his mouth, and said in a firm and decisive voice: "Heresy will eventually be annihilated in chaos and arrogance. The glory of my Lord will always shine on the earth! Prepare to meet the coming Judge, you heretics!”
Nok's words angered the Tree King.
"Okay! I will personally take action and cut you into pieces!"
"Go! Howl the Undead!"
The tree king's big hand like a dead branch waved towards Nok, and a piece of the black mist wrapped around it flew out and rushed towards Nok quickly.
