Chapter 61: Buffet

The last time Li En asked Simo the question was about the techniques to hide the aura of heresy.

Simo has the word "heretic" above his head. As a priest in the church, he needs to pray to God every day. How does he not attract the attention and disgust of the God of Tiger?
This is something that Li En should learn, because he has been infected with the spirit of heresy, and Father Simo should be his predecessor in this regard.

After the two of them opened up and talked for two hours, they reached a new deal.

Seamus was responsible for teaching Li En how to hide the heretic aura, while Li En kept Seamus's secrets, did not allow him to threaten him with the succubus again, and extended a helping hand when he needed help.

The premise is that it does not violate Li En’s bottom line and principles.

If Simo requires a new deal, the price will be negotiated separately.

The two of them are now trading partners who know each other's secrets, but the degree of their knowledge is different.

Simo only knew that Li En was tainted with heresy, but Li En knew that Simo was not only a heretic in the church but also raised a succubus, and let the succubus pretend to be a nun and stay by his side.

Although there is a certain information gap, this does not affect the friendly communication between the two.

"Lord Li En, you can come to the church to find me after the battle. I can ask Sally to help you."

Father Seamus was able to hide his heresy because of the succubus Sally.

Sister Sally was also riding a horse at the front of the team. She smiled at Li En and Sophie, as well as the big fish tank in Sophie's arms.

"Lord Li En, this problem is actually very easy to solve. All you have to do is raise a succubus."

Sally winked at Li En and spoke in a voice that only Li En could hear.

Li En asked in surprise, "Where can I adopt one?"

"There are succubus cubs for sale on the black market, the price is around 2000 million gold."

"It's too expensive. I'd rather ask Miss Sally for help."

Li En is not willing to spend tens of millions of gold to raise a succubus. He has not yet achieved financial freedom and must always be frugal.

So, it’s better to get Father Simo’s pet for free.

"If you're lucky enough, it's not impossible to encounter a wild succubus."

Li En nodded and temporarily ended his communication with Sally.

Sophie didn't watch their interaction the whole time, she was just observing her goldfish.

“1、2、3、4、5……95、96、97、98。”

"Sophie, what are you doing?"

"Two died."

Sophie said dejectedly.

"It's okay, this is normal. Flowers are destined to wither from the moment they bloom, and life is destined to end from the moment it begins. But we must learn to cherish the present. At least you still have 98 tails."

Li En comforted him.

Sophie bit her lip and nodded slightly.

The army passed through the village and entered the Forest of Bones.

The deep bone forest is like a habitat for ghosts forgotten at the end of the world.

The trees are dry and their branches are intertwined. Even when they are still, they look like monsters with bared fangs and claws.

The deeper you go, the lower the temperature and the louder the wind.

The sunlight shines through the sparse branches, dappling onto the pale earth, but it cannot dispel the oppressive coldness all around.

On the ground, bones formed a winding path, each one seeming to record the tragic story of a citizen. Horse hooves stepped on them, making a crackling sound, as if accompanying the marching troops.

The air was filled with a faint smell of dust and an indescribable silence.

Occasionally, a low howl came from somewhere, which made people feel an unknown panic in their hearts.

The wind blew through the forest, but there was no rustling of leaves anymore, only the wailing of the wind itself, like a soul calling.

In the deep shadows, there seems to be the outline of some creatures, their eyes reflecting a deep light, but when you want to find out, they disappear, leaving only a series of footprints of varying depths to prove their existence.

"What is it?" the guard asked nervously.

"They're just some faceless monkeys clinging to tree monsters. Don't make a fuss."

Captain Cobb said.

The team immediately became quiet.

"Master Li En, the area ahead is where the tree monsters often move around."

Cobb said to Li En, Li En nodded slightly and took out a map. He had divided the entire Bone Forest into 20 areas.

Areas 1-5 are the territories of the tree monsters. If you want to drive these tree monsters to other areas and let them compete for the living territories of other monsters, causing an internal war in the Bone Forest, the first thing you need to do is to make these tree monsters feel fear so that they dare not attack the human army again.

Li En drew a circle on the first square with a pen and looked sideways at Sophie who was holding the fish tank.
"Sophie, surround this area."

Li En's strategic approach is to attack in different areas.

Sophie put the fish tank back into the carriage, jumped up lightly, and landed on the tallest tree, calculating the area circled by Li En on the map with the actual Bone Forest.

After a moment, Sophie returned to the ground.

She touched the ground with both hands, and a wall of ice rose from the ground. The wall of ice extended rapidly, spreading forward until it surrounded the entire Area 1, forming a closed area.

The guards were shocked by the scene before them.

This is the power of Sophie, the guardian witch of Green Shade Territory.

This ice wall is 30 meters high and stretches as far as the eye can see. It is like a miracle.

"Is it really okay for the Ice Witch to use magic like this?"

Cobb asked worriedly.

He was afraid that Sophie would lose control prematurely, which would be an absolute disaster for Green Shade Territory.

Li En looked at Sophie and asked, "How many times can this kind of magic be used?"

Sophie held up a finger.

She can only use such a large-scale ice wall magic once because it consumes a lot of energy.

Li En smiled and said to Cobb, "Look, there's no problem with our witch. She said she can use it all the time."

Cobb: “?”

Sophie: “?”

Cobb looked at Li En's confident look and once again marveled at the witch's power.

Sophie did not expose Li En. She changed her mind and decided that once she got the [Out of Control Item], she would ask Li En to help clean it up. Then, this magic could be used continuously.

Whispering rustling——

Within the area surrounded by the ice wall, the tree monsters sensed the breath of humans.

They are approaching this side quickly.

There was a sound of laughter in the wind. The tree monsters seemed to have not realized that danger was coming. They thought that someone had taken the initiative to bring them a buffet.

The guards swallowed, lined up neatly, and looked at the woods ahead with high concentration.

There are obviously more trees in the forest. If you look closely, you will find that those walking guys are monsters hiding in the trees.

Their trunks are topped with facial features similar to those of humans, but these facial features are twisted into a ball.
The bulging eyeballs rolled around, and the branches were soft and slender, dancing in the sky, as if trying to catch any living thing passing by them.

Pieces of tattered clothes hang on their branches, just like quiet human skins.

There are also many strange-looking monkeys wrapped around the tree monster. Their hair is similar to the bark and they almost merge with the tree monster.

The monkeys bared their teeth and laughed at the humans.

This voice brought Li En back to the first day he traveled to another world.

It turned out that it was not the tree monster but these monkeys who made the sinister laugh.
