Gronn didn't know the mysterious threat coming from behind. He looked up and looked around. The giant trees around him seemed to be shaking, but he couldn't hear any sound in his ears, as if his hearing was completely blocked.
No, it's not just hearing. If you pay further attention, you will find that your sense of smell, taste, and even intuition are completely blocked. The only normal senses are vision and touch. It's just that these two senses are more confused than functioning "normally".
The four Gorons have undoubtedly been wandering around for a long time, always trapped in one place. They tried many methods, such as marking the tree trunks around them, remembering the characteristics of the surrounding trees, judging the direction from the position of the sun, etc., but unfortunately all these methods were in vain in this damn forest. , when everyone noticed that the scenery they saw was completely different every time they turned around, they already knew that they had been being played with by this forest.
Compared with the noisy forest, the silent and dead forest seems to be more murderous and dangerous. The other three people had already become jittery and highly nervous. But so far, apart from getting lost and sensory interference, Goron and his party have not encountered other crises yet. Of course, no one thinks that this kind of security can last forever. Although the sun in the sky may be an illusion caused by the forest, no matter what, the day will always pass and the night will eventually come. In this strange place, it is absolutely There is nothing worse than being deprived of even the last remaining sight.
"Maybe I should try something more adventurous..."
Just when Goron was secretly making a decision, at the same moment, in another area of this strange forest, the mysterious man who called himself the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was also trapped in the jungle. It's just that they don't seem to know anything about this forest like the older children of Goron.
Although their knighthood is small in number, with only four people in full strength, it is one of the most powerful secret forces in their camp. It is the most typical ace among aces that specializes in "high, sophisticated and cutting-edge". There was almost no precedent for mission failure before this.
When they were sure that they were really lost, the four of them formed a cross formation without saying a word. A ball of dark green brilliance rose from the body of the woman who called herself "Plague". This ball of brilliance had a texture like smoke. Mist, extremely sticky. The surrounding trees instantly withered and rotted upon being touched. Compared with her, the methods of the two knights "Famine" and "War" seemed very crude.
The khaki brilliance of "Famine" condensed into a terrifying monster with no eyes, ears, nose, and hair, and only a ferocious mouth like a big snake. This thing made purely of fighting energy actually came to life. As if it had an entity, everything around it would disappear out of thin air as it stretched and contracted. A huge piece of it would be swallowed up by this "hungry beast".
The blood-red fighting spirit of "War" is unremarkable. It is the most common and common fighting spirit of the God of War on the Dota Continent. However, the intensity and intensity of its fighting spirit flames were incredibly strong, just like hundreds of barrels of gunpowder exploding in succession, blowing everything around it to pieces.
As if the "forest" was being strongly stimulated, a loud and piercing scream suddenly came out from nowhere, and the forest's counterattack came at that moment. The leaves danced in the wind like blades, with different thicknesses and lengths. The branches are comparable to the arrows shot by a strong bow and crossbow. Just the first wave of attacks can wipe out an entire legion, but it is accompanied by a huge roaring sound. The earth was trembling, as if something bigger and more terrifying had been disturbed and was heading here.
"It's so interesting! This place is literally 'alive'! It's like we are standing in the belly of a prehistoric monster. Will we be digested, or will we kill this big monster first?"
"Stop screaming! Don't you feel the famine? This place is exuding the stench of the Twelve Demons. Even the gods may fall directly here. Can you give me a serious look? a little!"
"Even the gods are in a dilemma where they may fall? Wouldn't that be even better! War! This is the beauty of war!"
Although the morale of the three Apocalypse Knights is high, each has strengthened its own offensive. The "Plague" covers a larger area, the "War" explodes more frequently, and the hungry beasts of "Famine" have three heads at the same time, but the forest's counterattack is also more ferocious. Large trees with a diameter of more than one meter began to twist and elongate like whips, whipping towards them. The power was enough to smash the entire legion chariot into pieces. Not only that, each one had strange shapes, and even the basic appearance of the creature was removed. Weird creatures that don't have any characteristics emerge from the ground. Pounce on them...
The eldest of the four knights, "Death", covered in pitch black armor, finally said: "Is this just the most rudimentary reaction of the self-defense mechanism of that place? Even we would have difficulty coping with it. If it weren't for the help of our colleagues, The power of the 'Ghost Ship', a relic of the Twelve Demons, has destroyed the highest level of defense mechanism. We really can't deal with it, but now... Huh!"
As his voice fell, a pitch-black aura condensed on top of his head, and a huge shadow of death appeared above everyone. Different from the "hungry beast" where the "famine" fighting spirit condensed, this skeletal image held a huge iron sickle. The shadow of death actually exudes a touch of divinity, just like the plane projection of the shaman ancestral spirit and the master of the four elements that appeared when Goron advanced. What was summoned by "death" turned out to be the gods of heaven. The projection clone of the God of Death in the next plane.
Although it was just a plane projection, the gods were gods. As the death scythe swept across the hand of the shadow of death, the lives of those grotesque monsters were harvested in an instant, and patches of monsters, big and small, fell to the ground silently. , although there were no scars on his body, the flame symbolizing "life" was permanently extinguished.
Not only these monsters, but the entire sky was cut in two by the death scythe. The huge crack swallowed up the entire space, revealing the reality hidden behind the illusion to the world. The "forest" completely disappeared, replaced by the ruins of an ancient city.
The sunny island scenery is just an illusion. The real island is actually a lifeless ghost island with overgrown weeds and broken walls.
Without the cover of the forest, the terrain pattern of the entire island has completely changed, and the field of vision has naturally changed accordingly. The four knights of the Apocalypse used their own power to forcefully break the guarding barrier. Suddenly, they discovered that not far away from them, one boy, three girls, and four and a half-year-old children were looking at them in amazement. Around these children, seven or eight giant totem pillars of unknown material were rising from the ground. Surrounding them, who else could it be if it wasn't Gron and his party.
The straight-line distance between the two sides is only a hundred meters, but due to the complete interference of the island barrier on the senses of living creatures, neither Gron, who possesses the second divine power of the other world, nor the powerful Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse know that there are other people nearby. exist. Compared to Goron who knows nothing. Obviously the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who knew the existence of Goron and his party in advance, were able to react earlier.
Almost immediately, the battle-mad "War" knight and the irritable "Famine" knight screamed strangely and both rushed up. The strength of the fighting spirit fluctuations in these two people was comparable to that of several major figures in the fairy tale circus. Compared with the core members, it is even worse, and it is definitely not something that Goron and the others can face head-on.
It's just... their luck is not that good...
As soon as they met, they attacked fiercely, and the hostility of the other party was fully exposed. What's more, since the Gron and others were trapped here, they have been tensing their nerves to the limit, ready to fight at any time. Although the incoming enemy was so powerful that it was terrifying, it was better than the hopeless situation just now where the five senses were sealed and unable to do anything. Monica, Marvin, and Kaka were instantly ready to fight. However, these are a bit unnecessary. I saw a weird smile on the corner of Gron's mouth. Suddenly he punched the totem pole next to him. The totem pole suddenly trembled. While making a buzzing sound, the surface was covered with cracks and cracks. A red light filled with an ominous aura seeped out from the gap...
"This is not right! Both of you, please get back here!"
The "Death" knight who had not reacted before suddenly shouted. "Famine" also noticed the abnormality. He hesitated for a moment, but his speed dropped significantly. Not only that. The three hungry beasts formed by his fighting spirit also turned from offense to defense, curled up into a ball and wrapped up his whole body. Although Zhan Zhan also saw the changes in those totem poles, he didn't care, and the fierce fighting spirit in his body became more violent. The speed increased instead of decreasing, and the whole person rushed up like a cannonball.
"Seeking death!" Goron said through gritted teeth. The next moment, the totem pole in his hand had exploded. Not only that, this huge explosion also detonated other totem poles around him. A chain explosion occurred in an instant, and seven or eight black mushroom clouds gathered together. A terrifying shock wave carrying endless waves of fire and a large amount of gravel swept everything...
It turns out that at the same time that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were completely activating the barrier, Gronn not far away was also making similar efforts. Unlike the knights who first activated the barrier and then counterattacked, Gron used a long-term preparation method and exploded completely in an instant. He first used totem summoning to summon a shaman totem out of thin air around him, and then used slow work. Careful methods were used to inject unstable fire elemental power into it, transforming it into the "Fire Nova Totem" with the strongest destructive power instantly.
I just didn't expect that as soon as Gronn's preparations were over, and before he could launch the totem explosion, the barrier was broken by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Fortunately, Gronn's preparations were not in vain at all, and he was just used to rescue them from the knot. On the "benefactor" of the world.
This move takes too long to prepare and is almost useless in actual combat. However, once the preparation is completed, when many nova totems explode at the same time, its power is comparable to that of super-level fire magic.
The expression on the War Knight's face changed from excitement to shock, and then from shock to ecstasy, but before he could say any crazy words, his whole body was caught in the explosion shock wave, and the super-temperature flames burned his body. Skin, the impact of the huge waves tore his body, but the most lethal ones were the hard fragments after the totem poles exploded. They were like countless bullets ravaging all targets within the explosion range. If Goron and the others If they were not protected by the power of plane laws and would not be accidentally injured by "friendly magic", they who were at the center of the explosion would have been shattered to pieces at this moment.
Although the head-on collision with the island barrier just took a short time, to the four knights of the Apocalypse, it was no less than a life-and-death battle. Their physical strength and fighting spirit were already running low. If it weren't for the apparent strength gap between the two sides, it was too huge. , so big that there is almost no possibility of accidents, and they will not act rashly.
However, the accident still happened...
Facing Gronn's long-awaited counterattack, the armor on the War Knight was shattered inch by inch, and a left arm that blocked the vital parts of his head was blown away. I don't know how much skin and flesh on his body was gouged by the gravel shrapnel, and his whole body was far away. He flew far away, not knowing whether he would live or die.
Because the Famine Knight made the correct response, the "hungry beast" of fighting spirit that condensed into a solid body greatly weakened the explosion damage, and the damage was even smaller than that of the Plague that did not take immediate action. As the only woman among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Plague's Her strength is no less than that of the other two except Death, but the plague fighting spirit with special attributes is really weak in the face of the explosion. If the death knight next to her had not taken action in time, I am afraid that the four knights of the apocalypse would have lost two in the first battle. member. (~^~)
