The dark forest.
Compared with Adept World, the Zambez Empire's development of this plane resource is obviously still in a primitive confusing status/mode. As a result, most of the interior of plane are virgin forests or wild areas without deep reclamation, and human activities can still be surrounded by many dangerous creature.
The Dark Forest on the western edge of the Empire is one such area.
There are many primitive creature and horrible magic beast inside the dark forest. They are hoarded there and multiply and form a unique and extraterrestrial world. This is almost a severe problem that most Planar World has to face.
Competitive selection, survival of the fittest!
The powerful monsters have become the actual rulers of most regions with their powerful Constitution and fierce fighting style. They are wars, or families, or tribes, or stand alone, occupying the richest areas of minerals and plants on the plane continent.
Compared to them, a smart group like humans has almost no competitiveness.
At the beginning of their existence, humans did not have a powerful physical body, no natural Magic Talent, and no fangs and claws, which allowed them to stay in the warmth of the masses, struggling to survive among the many wild animals and the fierce monster.
If it is not human beings with outstanding learning and creative abilities, they can use monster as teachers, learn some powerful and strange abilities from them, and inherit and strengthen them from generation to generation. Human beings want to be the masters of plane. may!
Adept World's first batch of Adept was Ancient. Humans obtained some strange and strange abilities by simulating the natural Magic rune on the powerful monster. Then, after thousands of years of continuous accumulation and improvement, only a set of effective Adept cultivation system was formed.
It is through the Adept that stands out from humans that the humans of Adept World finally defeated all kinds of powerful monster and became the largest race there. However, with the growing strength of the Adept group, they have gradually grown into a new 'ethnic' completely different from ordinary humans!
The development path of plane is similar.
Envic plane is obviously on the same development path as Adept World, except that the Power System it evolved is a Holy Light worship similar to the Revered God belief.
Most Envic humans believe in admiration Holy Light, thus pushing a natural phenomenon without life and consciousness onto the altar. Faith is also a strength!
It is the constant belief of millions of Envic people that has made Holy Light a powerful and unmatched strength. At least, in Envic plane, this strength has been embedded in Plane Principle, and has become an important pillar to support the development and growth of Planar Consciousness.
With the blessing of Planar Consciousness, this Holy Light strength will in turn push its devout believers to the peak of plane strength.
As long as Envic plane continues on the current path, after thousands of years, one of the Fourth Grade Sacred Knight going forward will eventually break through the puppet of plane strength and become the Fifth Grade that created the history of plane.
And at the moment of breakthrough, he will logically become the first powerful Revered God with Holy Light as the source of Envic plane. By then, Envic plane will be regarded as a preliminary foothold in the multiverse, with the cornerstone of outward development and outward development!
But unfortunately, before Envic plane gave birth to its guardian Revered God, the Witch of Deceits found it and broke in, and then set up Sorceress Tower in a place called Darbyre Heights.
From that moment, Envic plane is in the countdown period before being enslaved!
It can be said that if the Ade Carlet Sacred Knight is not sworn to death, and the cross-plane Transmission Array in Sorceress Tower is destroyed, according to the invasion process of Witch of Deceit, Envic plane will struggle for a maximum of four or fifty years, and it will become the Witch of Deceit's meal. A secondary plane under their rule.
Now, as the situation changes, the Paladin seems to have gained a certain advantage, and there is an opportunity to wipe out the Witch of Deceits and drive the evil Adept forces out of Envic plane.
Therefore, when there were signs of Sorceress activity in the western empire, the local Holy Light chapel was immediately dispatched to carry out siege, and the Sorceress was successfully enclosed in the dark forest.
But the Witchcraft ability of that Sorceress is too strange. It can change itself into any creature form, then gain their trust and turn it into its own guardian beast.
A Second Grade White Silver Knight accidentally took to the road, and was abducted by Holy Light, becoming a veritable dark knight. Under the protection of this dark knight, Sorceress successfully escaped into the dark forest, avoiding the hunting of the paladins here.
Over time, two Third Grade Yellow Gold Knight have appeared in the Paladins gathered outside the Dark Forest, and Second Grade 's White Silver Knight is as high as twenty-one. But the guy they seized was just a normal Second Grade Sorceress.
…………
In a dark, damp forest, Devon searched carefully.
In order to facilitate combat and movement, he took off the heavy metal armor, only wearing a silver chain mail armor, and covered with a thick airtight cloak. The habitual big sword was also replaced by a fine-stabbed sword, coupled with a matte steel buckle, which is all he has.
The dark forest is exactly what it is called. The tall and straight ancient trees stretch out a huge canopy, blocking most of the light projected from the sky, and making the forest dark. Even in the daylight, the forest is dark and almost impossible to see.
And in such a secluded environment, it grows and reproduces a terrible magical plants that is beyond description.
They are tangled with ordinary green plants. They are not a scholar or an experienced hunter, and it is difficult to identify them. Once ordinary people approach them without any precaution, they will be dragged into the magic plant full of activated thorns by the vines, and they will be stabbed into the body with sharp wooden thorns or branches, and then they will eat all the flesh and blood. dead.
In order to avoid grass and snakes, Devon, as Second Grade White Silver Knight, did not bless himself with any Holy Light protection, but relied on his keen response and fast-paced fast sword to clear out the monster and magic plant who voluntarily shot at themselves.
The Holy Light mastered by the Paladins is better than blessing, longer than healing, longer than purification, but not good at exploration and search. Therefore, in this dark forest, Devon actually needs its own sword skill strength instead of That too dazzling Holy Light.
There is silence in the dark forest.
monster and the beasts living in this forest need to learn to be quiet as long as they have not grown to an unmatchable level. They have completed the whole process of hunting, predation, reproduction and rest in silence, even if it is the last moment before death, they must be as quiet as possible.
The sound will bring them enemies, as will the Holy Light which is too eye-catching.
The previous Paladins who entered the Dark Forest search are not small in size, and the high rank Paladins lead the team, but they all end up in a heavy loss because of too much fanfare. The beasts and monster lurking in the dark forest seem to be extremely repellent to outsiders, and it is easy to be attracted by the sound and light emitted by the team, thus secretly attacking the Paladins.
The Paladins are nothing more than a group of human warriors enhanced by Holy Light in the final analysis.
If they fight in the plains, with their blessed strength and Constitution, they can easily crush the same order monster. But in the dark forest where the five fingers can't be reached, the Paladin's combat power is greatly reduced.
Long-distance jungle trekking and walking through forests prevent them from wearing thick and dense metal armor, and they cannot withstand venom attacks from dead leaves or vines. From the raw bushes and vine-like thorns of vines, the one-handed big swords that they are used to can't swing at all, and the fine-stabbed swords or short swords that have been replaced cannot cut the neck of the powerful monster.
As a result, several Paladin teams deep into the dark forest returned and lost a lot of Black Iron Knight.
So, the two Yellow Gold Knights who had no choice but to scatter many White Silver Knights into the forest, carefully searched for the whereabouts of the evil Sorceress and the defector knight. As long as they found their tracks and passed them back to camp in time, the two Yellow Gold Knights could lead a large number of Paladins to pounce over and end the search operation at the least cost.
Night falls.
As the sky dimmers, the dark forest grows deeper and harder to detect.
Devon stepping on the slightly slippery and sticky soil, wandering quietly in the deep forest.
Every time he puts his foot in a very elegant place, it is not the mud soil from expose, or the pile of rotten leaves. He almost never set foot on the thorns and branches.
On the one hand, there is likely to be a trap that magical plants has disguised. On the other hand, if you break the dead branches, it is easy to make unnecessary sounds, which attracts the attention of those dark creatures.
In addition to the need to pay attention to your feet, Devon can't help glancing at the green vines hanging from the tall ancient trees. Many of them are disguised as Blood Sucking Vine. There are also many poisonous snakes, ants and other poisonous insects like to lie on the vine. When someone passes below, they can silently climb on the other side of the body.
So, while Devon is moving forward carefully, he quickly wields the fine sword in his hand.
Under the cutting of the rapid sword wind, one by one Blood Sucking Vine intercepted the waist, and the purple and black **** blood was splashing all over the sky. The piebald snakes and the wire snakes were chopped off their heads, and Xin's powerful body was twitching and twitching wildly, causing the surroundings to be confused.
But at this moment, Devon stopped suddenly, raised his nose and gently sniffed.
There is a hint of woman's body fragrance in the moist air with a strong stale moldy smell in the forest, but also the whimsical strange sound of water.
Devon closed his eyes tightly, and followed his breath slowly and quietly.
