He raised his arm, and unexpectedly saw a worm-like line of earthworms suddenly protruding from the skin of his hand.
The lines are slowly swimming between the skin and flesh, like a fish swimming in the water. Appears to be something alive, or some kind of bug.
"A hallucination?" Garen closed his eyes, opened them again, and the lines on his hands disappeared immediately.
He continued to stride towards the man-eating tree, and the hanging branches around him began to sway, densely like long human hair.
Whoosh.
Countless branches gathered all at once, like knitting a sweater, and the branches quickly wove a butterfly several meters wide, a black butterfly.
The butterfly fluttered its wings lightly, pulling countless black branches and floating in front of Garen.
Hiss!
A thin slit suddenly opened in the middle of the butterfly's body, opening suddenly like a mouth.
Tear! !
Garen plunged his hands deeply into the slit in the middle of Butterfly's mouth, and tore the Butterfly in half with both hands.
"What else can you do? Take it all out." Garen sneered and strode towards the man-eating tree.
The woman appeared again, with only one eye exposed, quietly looking at Garen from the left.
Garen stretched out his hand suddenly, and grabbed the woman's side of the face, but suddenly missed. He was a little stunned, with his speed, he couldn't catch the opponent accurately.
"This farce should be over." He raised his right arm, and the whole arm swelled up suddenly, and the skin and muscles quickly turned into a terrifying blue-black color, with a hint of metallic luster. It turned out to be the first star opened instantly.
Aiming at the middle of the man-eating tree, he grabbed it down with his right hand.
ah! ! !
In a burst of sharp screams.
Garen's eyes suddenly blurred, and in the scream that seemed to be a neutral voice, he stabbed his right hand directly into the trunk of the man-eating tree.
When he came back to his senses, he was standing in front of the big tree, the surrounding sky was bright, and the low voices of Rhodes and Alan Hill could be faintly heard behind him. And the commotion surrounding Alan Hill's men.
His right hand was stabbing hard into the tree trunk, and bright red blood was slowly flowing out from the edge of the wound on the tree trunk.
Wow.
Withdrawing his arm, Garen lowered his head and looked at his feet.
The soil there did not know when to separate automatically, revealing a corner of a slightly black mask underneath.
He knelt down and grabbed the mask, pulled it hard, and pulled it out. The familiar cool air quickly flowed into his arms, which was his potential value.
'You routed an invisible creature. The voice of Black Sass sounded at this time, "But this invisible creature seems to have no power, except for the corrosion and virus of the man-eating tree itself, it only has a little hallucination ability, which has no effect on you, but it is terrifying to ordinary people exists. '
Garen understood that invisible creatures existed in a world that humans could not see, which was difficult for him to understand.
Quickly retreated to where Rhodes was. Both of them stared at him with bloody faces.
"Here, the mask." Garen shook the mask in his hand, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Rhodes pointed to Garen's shoulder, his fingers trembling, as if he saw something terrible.
Garen lowered his head, and unexpectedly saw a thin thread like an earthworm constantly swimming on the skin of his shoulder, like a living thing, constantly swimming around his left shoulder, shoulder and neck.
' is the curse of invisible beings. 'Hessas' timely explanation. 'Some invisible creatures cast curses on creatures that offend them. But for you, you only need to go back and purify it with the void core, but for ordinary people, it is a hopeless horror. This thin line is called gluttony. At the beginning, it will constantly bite the muscles, and then it will go into the internal organs and devour it. until the person dies. '
Garen understood, and took out a small piece of purple-black void core fragment from his trouser pocket, and gently pressed it on the thin thread.
Suddenly a burst of blue smoke came out.
Hiss.
Puffs of smoke rose directly from the thin line, and were soon completely offset by the debris, as if absorbed.
"This thing is a bit weird, it seems to be something like a parasite!" Rhodes was relieved.
"Let's go." Garen held the mask and walked towards the exit of the botanical garden.
Rhodes followed closely behind.
Alan Hill stared at him with complicated eyes behind him. Garen managed to get the mask without killing the man-eating tree. In fact, what he did was not called digging at all, but it seemed that the man-eating tree sent it to him.
Looking back at the man-eating tree, it looked lifeless and seemed to have suffered a lot of damage, but it was more cost-effective than being completely pushed down.
"How about that Cole and Cohen?" He whispered to Mo La who came up beside him.
"Not yet, but they're probably still looking for a chance. This time the King of Nighthawks came suddenly, so they must have leaked the news." Mora replied in a low voice. This time is really dangerous. If it weren't for Rhode's relationship, I'm afraid the King of Nighthawks would come to him directly, and Halo would suffer a lot of losses at that time.
"Are you sure that both Cole and Cohen have nothing to do with the Nighthawk King?" Alan Hill asked in a low voice.
"I've investigated it. Koenna was almost killed by the Nighthawk King in Africa. I don't know why he was let go in the end." Mora replied, intelligence and tracking are his specialties.
"Then kill them! I will do it myself!" Alan Hill was a transfer of hatred. After being beaten up by Garen, he had internal injuries, his precious man-eating tree was also injured, and his low-profile mask was taken away. He didn't dare to say a word of cruelty, and he had to accompany him all the way, which made him angry and useless To the extreme.
Garen, who had gone far away, withdrew his attention, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He doesn't care what purpose Kohna wants to use him to achieve, as long as he achieves his own purpose, that's enough. As for his life and death, that has nothing to do with him.
*******************
Time flies, more than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, the weather in Germany is gradually getting colder, and it has entered the winter of November.
White snow covered the entire outskirts of Berlin. The mask Garen obtained from the man-eating tree did not provide many potential points, only more than eighty points. It seemed that the man-eating tree itself was also absorbing this power, consuming a lot of potential points. Part of the potential value, the rest is not much.
Adding 82 points to the original remaining 94 points, the final result is 176 points, which is enough to add a little attribute to intelligence, reaching an attribute of eleven points.
After ten points, the number of potential points required to improve an attribute is simply terrifying. One point requires a hundred points. If it is absolutely easy in the totem world, it is extremely difficult to find here.
After these potential points were used up, Garen had no choice but to start looking for a new mask again. Fortunately, the mask of the cannibal tree is the fifth mask. After getting this mask, the force field of all the masks seems to have a good suppression of the dragon-shaped coin. The number of Nadia's attacks has decreased for a while. And its strength is also temporarily weakened. But soon Nadia seemed to use some special method, and started a new approach again. The further increase in power forced Garen to continue looking for a new mask.
And according to the information provided by Rhodes, the sixth mask exists in the Universal Jungle Belt—the Memphis Jungle.
The Memphis jungle is a region unique to this world. It is like a green belt of the entire planet, encircling the entire planet, spreading and boundless. The location of the mask is said to be on the edge of a rare and hidden Moon River. The Moon River is a river shaped like a crescent moon, and there are no less than a dozen places in the Memphis jungle.
And just when he was about to leave for the Memphis jungle, the news about the lotus leaf pearl finally came back.
After Rhodes negotiated with the original color, the other party gave up the lotus leaf bead, and the sea snake and the seal jointly chased and killed it, and finally killed it in a port in New Zealand.

creak
On the outskirts of Berlin, on a trail, the thick layer of snow was trampled by boots making a crisp sound.
A man in a gray overcoat puffed and walked on the road that hadn't been cleared.
On his right are towering gray and white villas, and on his left are rows of dense cedar pine forests, and black soil can be faintly seen under the white snow. In the front is a snowy road that leads straight to nowhere, and in the back is the intersection of the road and the trail. A black jeep can be seen faintly parked on the edge of the entrance.
The man was carrying a black leather bag in his hand, walked a little further, went directly to the left and went up the steps of a villa, and lightly pressed the doorbell.
Ding~~~
The doorbell rang continuously.
After a while, with a click, the door opened. A middle-aged maid with a dull complexion opened the door, nodded to him, made a gesture of inviting him in, and did not speak.
The man seemed to know the maid.
"Thank you Ma Qiuli." He walked in with the bag, took off the hood of the coat, exposed his bald head, and took off the coat and handed it to the maid.
Holding the bulging black leather bag with one hand, the man changed his shoes and went up to the second floor.
Stepping on the black wooden board, he walked directly to the door of a room on the right, and knocked lightly on the door.
"Come in." A deep male voice came from inside.
The man pushed open the door and saw a handsome blond man sitting inside who was slowly putting down his cell phone and turned sideways to him. From his angle, he could still vaguely see the content flashing on the phone screen.
It seems to be small talk with family members.
The blond man sitting in the seat still had a gentle smile on his face.
"The things are brought." He quickly collected himself, not daring to look further.
"Okay, it was handed over by the Sea Snake, right?" The blond man is Garen who has been in Berlin for a while. He basically doesn't go to school now, and he is working hard on the mask, and the explanation to the family is his own. He started a company outside and was busy starting a business. University didn't play a big role in him. Anyway, he only needed to get his diploma in the end.
Garen has thoroughly studied the courses of Garyville University, and has already handed in the assessment papers and investigation reports in advance. As long as you have enough credits, the school will not care what you do.
The bald head put the black handbag in his hand on the Gallen table.
He tore open the zipper, took out a black plastic bag from inside, put it on the table, and opened the plastic bag.
A faint musky smell immediately permeated the air.
What was placed in the plastic bag was a chubby human head.
"This is the lotus leaf bead, representing the sincerity of Mr. Rhodes." The bald Caton whispered.
