"So finally, there is still one person who has not yet been solved." Shangluo glanced above his head: the forest king's health bar was still there, and the last bit of blood bar was still locked in gold.
This is what the Romans had always done before. After taking the golden branches at this step, they left and left the chopped forest king there to dry. However, the branch-breaking ceremony originally existed for the purpose of crowning the forest king. It is a very outrageous behavior to only want the golden branches without the throne.
And if you want to complete the ritual, you must replace the Forest King himself. At this time, the Forest King was flattened to the ground, forming a large glyph with five bodies falling to the ground. There were at least 5 Dragon Tooth Soldiers holding down both hands and feet, and there were even several standing on top of him like stacks of arhats. The dragon tooth soldiers were stacked on top of each other, and they were all stuck together. If the Dragon Tooth Soldiers didn't need to breathe, they would have been squeezed to death first.
He grabbed the ridiculously heavy hunting knife and walked towards the Forest King step by step. With a premonition that the end is approaching, the forest king's roar becomes less and less human. However, the Dragon Tooth Soldier is a stone in the physical sense, and he cannot move it at all.
Seeing Shangluo coming, the Dragon Tooth Soldier also stepped aside a little to let out the "head" of the Forest King - but still several pairs of big hands held down its head itself, leaving only its neck exposed.
Shangluo also knew what to do. The hunting knife in his hand was used to perform rituals. Said to be a hunting knife, this is actually a sacrificial knife. Because the power to distribute sacrifices is one of the earliest royal powers, slaughtering sacrifices is a symbol of dominion over everything.
This hunting knife was obviously used to kill the forest king himself.
Dragging the hunting knife, he walked up to the forest king, and his exposed pale neck was just waiting for him to come up and "cut him".
He half-crouched in front of the Forest King. At this time, the Forest King was like a bulldog being held down, his forehead was pressed into the soil and he was still struggling.
"I'm offended." Seeing the Forest King become like this, he still couldn't bear it. He raised his hunting knife high and prepared to give the Forest King a good blow.
With a bang, the hunting knife fell out of hand, and the handle hit the Forest King hard on the head, driving his head three inches into the ground. The forest king screamed even more fiercely.
"Ah this!" He quickly picked up the knife, "Sorry! Sorry! I really didn't mean it! This knife is too heavy!"
It's not that he didn't take it on purpose. But this ancient hunting knife has no guard and is just a smooth bronze. To say what it looks like, it looks a lot like the Warring States Sword Coin. It was so small that it was difficult for him to hold it tightly with one hand, and it was indeed easy to let go.
"I must give you a good time this time. I'm offended!"
He raised his hunting knife and stabbed it into the forest king's neck.
"I will definitely come back!" The voice full of hatred and resentment gradually faded away, and everything became quiet.
The array dispersed, and Shangluo himself walked out from among the retreating Dragon Tooth Soldiers.
"Is it done?" Titus asked. What he is most concerned about now is whether the ceremony can be completed on time.
Shangluo pointed back - the laurel tree was gone and the forest king was gone. There is no trace where the laurel tree disappeared, and there is a human-shaped depression where the forest king disappeared. The position of the head was deeply embedded in the soil, and the dead shape did not look peaceful at all.
"Finally, it's done. That's a hunting knife in your hand???"
"you know?"
"On the statue, this is Diana's hunting knife. Did you just use this hunting knife to end the Forest King? This has never been done before. It seems that you did perform the branch-breaking ceremony correctly. But why is it not over yet? ?" He looked up. The health bar disappeared, the forest king was gone, and even the tree was gone. But the lighthouse system hasn't let them out yet.
[Please collect the clearance rewards. 】
"Huh?" Shangluo looked back, "Are there any rewards that you haven't taken? He even took away the hunting knife. Is there anything left?"
Looking carefully, there is indeed a beam of light shining in the grass in the distance.
"Ah, that's it." Titus pointed to the grass, "That's the sword of the Forest King. Remember what I said at the beginning? The Forest King is also the Sword King, so the original reward should be that sword. I don't think so. It’s clear where this hunting knife came from, but since you got it when you broke the branches, this should be a super doubled hidden reward. But you still have to get the normal clearance reward to end this ritual.”
"So that's it." Shangluo almost forgot, because he didn't see the Forest King use his sword to fight back during the whole process. Although the old man was good at swordsmanship, he was pinned to the ground the whole time, and his sword was scattered beside him.
Shangluo went back to pick up the sword. As he got closer, he could also tell the color of the sword - it was purple.
There is also a purple item name displayed on that sword:
[Epic·The Sword of the Forest King. 】
He stretched out his hand and weighed it. The size of a one-handed sword, the weight of a two-handed sword. Although it is relatively heavy, it is still within the range of ordinary weapons. If he didn't have this Luna's hunting knife, he might indeed feel that this sword was a good reward. Now, I always feel a bit tasteless. He already has a spear, a long sword and a dagger in his hand, so he doesn't lack such a useless one. Although the reward for completing the level is not very good, he does not lack this one.
When he picked up the sword in his hand, invisible fluctuations oscillated around him. The chirping of birds and insects, the sound of springs and wind - the sounds of nature have returned, and the moon has become brighter and clearer. The ceremony is over.
He walked back with the hunting knife in one hand and the sword in the other. Putting the sword on the ground next to him, he first asked about the hunting knife:
Holding the knife in both hands, he asked Titus, "Is this reasonable?"
"Reasonable? What's the problem?"
"Just touch it yourself."
Titus stretched out two fingers to twist it - and sure enough, the hunting knife didn't move at all. He stretched out his hand again before he could barely pick up the hunting knife.
"Good guy!" He carefully put the hunting knife back into Shangluo's hand, "Is this a magical weapon? So it's so heavy?"
"Is there any way you can store it?"
"Wait a minute." He pressed the microphone and asked, "There is no way, we have never seen it before. So you have to solve it yourself."
"Okay." He asked Apollonia, "So do you have any idea?"
[Can’t you just put the equipment in your backpack? There is no weight in the backpack anyway, only after the equipment has weight. 】
"Do I have a backpack? This isn't really a game!"
【Ah, this is true. Let me think about it, how about you check it in first? 】
"No, this thing is too important. This is a magical weapon made from golden branches. I don't dare to let anyone else get it."
[Then just carry it, it’s all you can do. Or you can ask them for a holster to carry the gun on your shoulder to share the weight, and I will do some research when I get back. If you could find a way to inject phlogiston, you should be able to make it yours. Why is that deer not considerate at all? Why doesn't he also write a good user agreement? 】
"I told you it's the hunting knife of the Moon God, not mine. Tsk, okay, I'll carry it like this for now and then put it back on my back. Just treat it as a physical exercise. After all, I'm also a martial arts practitioner."
