The island is full of dense forests and deep ravines, filled with a choking smell of decay. Even the howling wind cannot dispel the smell and the fog that shrouds the entire island.
The trees here seem to be withered and dilapidated, but their branches are extremely thick, and some of them are endowed with violent aggression by the fallen power.
Mo Bei and others had dealt with this kind of tree demon monster in the Kurast Rainforest. Although the tree demon here was slightly weaker, it was difficult for an adventure team of around level 30 to deal with. In addition to pressure, this tree demon also has vine-wrapped poisonous stings and other attack methods.
Even if it were a fire attack, the burning effect would be greatly reduced if it hit the wet, moss-covered tree trunk.
But if the eternal flame is used, even stone can be burned into powder.
Alvin, who had been holding back for a long time, moved all the way in front of the team, wrapping his claws with ice-blue flames, and all the monsters that could not escape were turned into ashes.
"You think... is it necessary to pay attention to the mental health issues of disabled patients?" Mo Bei looked at the frantic bear man and said with concern.
"Do you think his current state has something to do with the paste you prepared?" Ned asked tentatively.
"ah?"
Mo Bei was stunned for a while, thinking that it was not serious, it was just ordinary protein powder and vitamins.
"I looked at the bucket that day. Although I couldn't read the text, there was an icon that said two spoons at a time, but you gave him two buckets at a time..."
"..."
Mo Bei was silent.
If you think about it carefully, in the past four or five days, Alvin has consumed almost as much protein powder as a professional bodybuilder needs for half a year. .
Even if calculated based on the weight of a bear man, this amount is a bit ridiculous.
He was not originally worried about any problems with the physique of career changers eating this way, but after being reminded by Ned, he suddenly remembered that this protein powder could not only build muscle, but also have certain effects on promoting testicles. .
Emma.
No wonder he was so excited. . . .
Why don't you take this guy for a major health care visit later?
Ned saw his expression was different and asked:
"Did you think of something?"
Mo Bei shook his head:
"No, I think it's good for him to be like this. Look, how brave he is."
Ned glanced at him with a complicated expression, then looked at the bear man who was frantically killing low-level monsters with foam flying from the corner of his mouth. He shrugged and said:
"That's right..."
. . . . . .
Akali picked up a beast skull. It looked like it should be some kind of large predator, but a small part of it was missing. It was filled with a piece of wood with thorns. The branches at one end of the wood looked like The horns growing out of this beast look weird, but they also give people an indescribable sense of harmony.
The undead creatures here are basically like this. They are made up of the bones of different species, wood or thorns, with different shapes, and some can be aggregated into individuals larger than tree demons.
Adventurers here in the Western Boundary collectively refer to these undead creatures as ghost wood monsters, believing that they are the monsters that the souls of the island's aborigines turned into after they fell.
Akali used a little force with her hands to break off the wood block on the skull, and found that the wood fibers were embedded in the bones, as if they were born together.
She frowned and said:
"The atmosphere of corruption here makes me feel very ancient, and it seems to have been completely integrated with the entire island."
"Well, I feel the same way." Mo Bei nodded. His extraordinary perception was more intuitive and he was sure that this was not an illusion.
The distortion and depravity here have existed for a long time and have reached an extent that is difficult to trace.
Ned recently read through many ancient records of Zakarum's Western Conquests and said:
"When Lakis was exploring the Northern Islands, he found that the largest island was always shrouded in storms. After trying every means to land, he found that there were still many indigenous people here. However, the state of those people at that time was very strange. They were in a state of confusion all day long. The giant statues made of bundles of thorns were worshiped as gods, and even human sacrifices were carried out crazily.
For Zakarum, this was naturally a heresy that needed to be purified. However, after they massacred all the residents on the island and burned all the Thorn Colossi, it was as if they had been cursed. Many soldiers fell into madness and began to kill each other. , Lakis turned to the Holy Light to no avail, and could only temporarily withdraw from the island. "
After hearing this history, Mo Bei became more and more curious and asked:
"So what secrets does this island hold? Why is it shrouded in storms?"
"There is no record of this. Lakis did not stay on this island for too long, so he continued to go north, hoping to explore a route that could enter the Arreat Mountains from the sea, and then join forces with Ernstinger to bring the Kingdom of Seth Snow to You can’t look at both ends.”
Ned continued:
"I took a look when I came here. The storm outside the island was far less violent than the description in the book. In other words, after Lakis implemented the cleansing, there were still some changes here."
Mo Bei was quite dissatisfied with such a narrative that had no beginning and no end. He curled his lips and said:
"What kind of book are you reading that still leaves you in suspense...did you reach the paid chapter and not read any further?"
Ned had a question mark on his face and took out a book with an old cover and shook it:
"This is it. Read it for yourself?"
The Mo University scholar arrogantly ignored the book handed to him.
I don’t know if the back of my head hurts when I read your book. .
The ruins that Teceres explored were almost in the center of the island, and were already quite dilapidated and blurry.
The level of civilization on this island is not high to begin with. After so many years have passed since it was completely destroyed by Lakis, it has long been covered up and swallowed up by the wild vegetation.
If it hadn't been for the banshee saying there were unusual discoveries in the underground here, you wouldn't have been able to find out that this was a ruins even if you were in it.
When they arrived at the place, Perona raised a tornado of flames and drilled directly into the ground. The dancing fire pillars kept raising dust and ashes. After a while, it burned through the ground, and a shaft more than a hundred meters deep appeared.
He didn't even bother to look for the entrance. The method of getting to the core of the dungeon was almost like cheating, but Mo Bei was happy to see the result.
Is it possible that I have to do it step by step to clear a low-level dungeon?
Immediately afterwards, an evil breath rushed out from under the shaft, which made his face show surprise.
Judging from the strength of the breath, this may not be a low-level copy!
He was the first to jump into the shaft, and after a few seconds of free fall, he appeared in a huge underground space.
Looking around, thousands of tree roots are twisting slightly, connecting to the center of the underground space, and wrapping around something.
The thing was roughly in the shape of a human, nearly three meters tall. When Mo Bei saw it, the thing also felt someone approaching, twisted a bit, and let out a rough and hoarse female voice. The tone seemed to be commanding, but it was unclear. Its meaning.
Mo Bei didn't feel the opponent's intention to attack, but he thought the shape was quite unique, and even doubted whether the opponent could move.
This whole body is wrapped tightly like an intubation tube. What on earth is this? .
Dryad grandma?
