Zero Soul Master

Chapter 257 Fallen Demonic Wolf
In the end, Xiao Bailian still didn't convince Honglian, and the two walked together into the famous dark forest in the third world of the Tower of Heaven and Earth.

According to legend, this forest was once a winding and beautiful place thousands of years ago.There are countless peaceful nature elves and various animals living here.

Not knowing what happened, one day everything changed.Those elves who advocated peace and nature, degenerated into dark elves one by one, gave up the pride of the elves, and were polluted by demonic energy.

Since when, all human beings who entered this forest, without exception, were immediately subjected to various cruel attacks by the dark elves as soon as they were discovered.Except for a few powerful humans, all of them were buried in this boundless sea of ​​trees.

The ground is full of all kinds of dead leaves and silt, and stepping on it is like stepping on a lump of flying, which makes people feel like vomiting.

There was a disgusting smell in the air.It was similar to the stench emitted by something rotting.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but after entering the forest, it suddenly turned into night.Although it is not exaggerated to the extent that you can't see your fingers, the visibility is also very low.

"Actually, you don't have to come here at all."

Xiao Bailian and Honglian are in this forest right now.Feeling the heavy pressure of the air, Xiao Bailian smiled wryly.Hearing his words, Hong Lian just shook her head, "Miss asked me to take care of you. If she knew about the incident last time, she would definitely blame me. This time, I won't let you go on an adventure alone. Since you can't Stop you, then at least keep me by your side."

For this, Xiao Bailian was very helpless.

Having such a beautiful woman swearing to follow to the death seems to sound very good, especially after leaving Tianshan City, Honglian has returned to her original appearance, beautiful and delicious.But the key question, this girl did not do this because of his relationship at all, she just obeyed the order of that woman Huaxie.

"Forget it, it's up to you."

He more or less knows Honglian's strength.Although on the surface it was only at the peak of the 10th step, before he came out this time, in order to prevent this woman from coming out, he tried to stop her by force.

But unexpectedly, Honglian's true strength is even higher than he expected.At least it is also the fighting power of the peak of the 12th order, but for some reason, the level has been kept at the peak of the 10th order.

According to the news that the Xiao family got at the time, Xiao Li came to the dark forest alone three years ago. According to the rumors, he should have started from Tianshan City, so his current direction should be correct.

Of course, he didn't expect to find Xiao Li here after three years.Whether he lived or not, three years was enough time for many things to happen.

This time, his main purpose of coming here was not only to see if he could find clues to Xiao Li's disappearance, but the other was to have a faint feeling in his heart about the rumored star of hope of the Xiao family, his elder brother. A comparative psychology.

The same as the Xiao family, the same is the son of Xiao Guofeng.In the eyes of everyone who knows the Xiao family, Xiao Li is a rising star and a genius.And he, Xiao Bailian, is a waste, although that does not refer to him now, but since he has accepted and replaced the identity of the second young master of the Xiao family, even his past must be carried along with him.

"Dark forest, I don't know what is waiting for me here?"

In his heart, he always wanted to prove that he was no worse than Xiao Li.Xiao Li was once the hope of the Xiao family's rise, and he can do the same.It's a pity that even during his days, he helped the Xiao family solve various problems and made the Xiao family financially rich first, but in the end, what he saw in Xiao Guofeng's eyes was still not as good as Xiao Li's.

why?Because of the rules of the game in this world!

Strength is the factor that determines everything!As long as he can't be as outstanding as Xiao Li was back then, in the eyes of others, he will always be just that lawless dude who is blessed by his family.

Although his current achievements far surpassed that of Xiao Li back then.At least when Xiao Li was at his age, he was only an eighth-rank summoner.But who can know?How can he tell others?
Dead silence, deathly silence.

After entering the dark forest, Xiao Bailian and Honglian have been keeping vigilant to deal with dangers that come anytime and anywhere.

But two hours after entering this forest, there was no danger at all.Not to mention danger, I didn't even see a living creature.

Except for the tree is the tree, this kind of deathly silence makes people feel irritable.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that the dark forest is full of danger? There are dark elves and all kinds of fallen monsters polluted by magic energy? Why are there none?"

Xiao Bailian couldn't help turning his head to ask Honglian, but seeing Honglian's confused expression, he knew it was for nothing.

"I have never been here, but according to the records left before, it is indeed the case. But why is it like this?"

As the number one place of death in the third world of the Tower of Heaven and Earth, the number of people missing in the Dark Forest is at least tens of thousands every year.

Some strong men who escaped alive by chance, hesitated and hawed about what happened inside, as if they didn't want to mention it again.

This adds to the mystery of the dark forest!

Here, there are really few people who know what kind of danger is there.

At the same time, another serious problem was placed in front of the two of them.

"It looks like we're in serious trouble."

They got lost and lost their way.This is what they didn't expect at the beginning!

Xiao Bailian and Hong Lian are both the kind of people who have a good sense of direction. In addition, Hong Lian leads the mercenary group on adventures all the year round, and never thought that she would get lost in the forest.

Looking up, the sky above the head is dark and dense fog, and the sun cannot be seen all year round, which also puts an end to relying on the sun to judge the direction.

"The environment here looks similar. It's weird!"

After all, Honglian is still experienced, although in the eyes of ordinary people, the environment in the forest is almost the same, and there is no difference.But after she observed carefully, her expression sank slightly, and she said in a low voice.

"You mean we're stuck in a maze?"

Xiao Bailian also looked around, but he didn't have Honglian's ability, so he didn't find anything.

Could it be that in this world, there is also a phantom formation similar to the Jiugong Bagua formation of Crouching Dragon Zhuge?
This was something he hadn't considered.But thinking about it carefully, it seems possible.Although Taoism does not exist in this world, in the final analysis, there is not much difference between magic, magic, Taoism, etc. in essence, and they are all the use of certain powers.There are Taoism and formations on the earth, and there are also magic and techniques here, as well as magic formations!
After realizing something was wrong, Guren quickly found a clue.

"Sure enough! We should have fallen into some kind of magic circle that confuses people's sense of direction!"

On a big tree that needs at least three or four people to surround it, Hong Lian found a trace of a magic circle.

Xiao Bailian went over to take a closer look, and found that there was a faint imprint resembling a crescent moon engraved on it, exuding almost imperceptible fluctuations in demon energy.

"It's the smell of abyssal demon energy. It seems that the people who set up the entire psychedelic magic circle here should be the group of dark elves who have fallen into demons in the rumors."

After finding the clue, the next thing will be much easier to solve.

The two soon found similar magic marks on other trees, and after erasing them one by one, gradually, there seemed to be some slight changes in the surrounding space.

Soon, he discovered that some roads that he hadn't seen before appeared in front of him.

But before he could be happy, his face immediately sank.

Countless green light, like fireflies in the summer night, appeared from a distance.

Soon, some demonic wolves with black miasma all over their bodies and howling in a low voice appeared from the forest.

"It's a fallen demon wolf!"

Seeing those demonic wolves, Hong Lian reminded in a low voice, "Don't be careless, although the demonic wolves are only Tier 4 creatures, these corrupted Demonic wolves polluted by demonic energy have at least a power above Tier 7."

There were at least hundreds of demon wolves that appeared, although they were not strong enough to pose a danger to the two of them.But such a large number is also very headache.

Xiao Bailian can understand why so many people disappear in the dark forest every year.Ordinary people come here, even if some mercenaries with the peak strength of the 10th rank come together, it is enough to drink a pot when they meet this group of depraved demon wolves!

Guren took out her own weapon, a wand with a beautiful red gemstone inlaid on the top.Honglian is a fire-type warlock. Although she knows a little melee self-defense methods, her strongest is the fire-type magic.

"Starfire Lianzhu!"

With a wave of the wand in his hand, he immediately saw a series of at least seven fireballs the size of human heads shooting towards a group of fallen demon wolves over there.

Among all kinds of elemental spells, fire spells have always been regarded as the best in terms of attack power. Except that the power of a single element is not as good as that of lightning, there are few other elemental powers that can match it.

Seven fireballs exploded among the fallen demon wolves, instantly turning into a sea of ​​burning flames.

The use of this kind of power made Xiao Bailian's eyes brighten, and at the same time he was a little ashamed.

He also uses flames as an attack method. Compared with Guren, he is like the gap between a primary school student and a college student.

He can only use the power of the special flame in his body in a simple and rough manner, but Honglian is different, even if the most common flame is in her hands, the damage it causes does not seem to be weak at all!
Immediately, with this attack, at least a dozen fallen demon wolves were killed instantly, and dozens of fallen demon wolves were injured by the flames, and there was a lot of wailing.
