Chapter 152: Forest of Bones

Chapter 152: Forest of Bones
"Ah...ah..."

It sounded like the wailing of a dying person, but also like the cry of a crow breaking the silence.

A crow with half of its head exposed flapped its wings and flew over. Its broken feathers fell like ashes onto the wet ground that smelled of blood.

After searching for a while, this strange crow finally found a place to stay.

On the tree piled with bones and flesh, the shriveled and hard fingers became branches one after another.

"what……"

The strange crow tilted its head, and its cloudy eyes stared straight at the coast through the gaps between the trees made of piles of bones.

It seemed to see something.

The next moment, the strange crow's body twitched strangely, and its feathers fell off.

Wow!

The sound of flesh tearing was heard, and a bloody eyeball was squeezed out of his eye.

All parts of its body expanded wildly, bursting out with black and red tentacles one after another.

After the bloody eyeball was squeezed out, it seemed to feel a little uncomfortable and pushed it out a little more. The crow's head was completely squeezed to its back, leaving only some residual skin hanging down.

The eyeball itself also became somewhat visible.

This appears to be a strange bug living inside a crow.

The next moment, it flapped its wings stiffly and pounced towards a place frantically.

Swish!
A shadow like a knife flashed by, and the strange crow was cut into two on the spot. The smelly black blood spilled, and it twitched on the ground for a while before dying completely.

You killed the parasite.

[Obtained: Wax Oil × 23]

After killing the crow monster with one sword, Tianji did not stop there. Instead, he swung his hand suddenly and the blade flew out of his hand.

With a "swish" sound, the dagger accurately hit the other Peeping Crow that was still twitching and changing.

"what?"

Guagua, who was standing by, froze in his tracks as he was about to attack.

Looking at what was happening before her eyes, she couldn't believe her eyes.

Because she has been busy recently, she has less time to sleep, so she plays games less often.

Today I have more time, and my best friend Lemon has to stay up late for something, so I can only prepare to download the new copy by myself.

Then she met Li Miao and Shangan, and gave Tianji to her, asking her to guide the newbie.

Gua Gua thought about it and didn’t care. She was not very good at it anyway, so it didn’t make any difference whether she did a single-player copy or a double-player copy, as it was both suffering.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the game, Tianji gave her a small slip, showing his bossy style.

He was only level 20, not even at the Slag level! Moreover, his skills and combat abilities were almost blank, it was outrageous!
Brother Miaozi, is this the newbie you asked me to take care of?

Great! I got the thigh again, yay!
I am so lucky, hehe!

Guagua smiled secretly in his heart.

At this time, Tianji had already walked forward and pulled out the dagger from the corpse.

"War... indeed it has the same effect..." Tianji said secretly in his heart.

"Brother Tianji, no, Big Boss Tianji, you're so strong!" Guagua admires and envies him.

Others can kill as many people as they want within two days of entering the game, but she can only follow the big guys around, pick up trash, and fight with the monsters.

This is the talent gap between people!

If only she could be that strong!

Hmm... I wonder if Mei-jie can be so good in this game...

"…It's just a minor thing, not worth mentioning."

Tianji responded calmly, but his hands were involuntarily put behind his back.

"Okay." The boss was very humble, and Gua Gua didn't continue to brag.

But she was also a little curious about why Tianji always spoke in such a literary way.

This sky gave him a feeling of being knowledgeable and having a solid foundation, but also inexperienced...which was a bit weird.

But Gua Gua didn't ask any more questions and turned his attention to what was in front of him.

However, just one glance and the scene in front of her made her feel uncomfortable.

The name of this new copy is [Forest of Bones].

And everything they saw at this moment was indeed the case.

The fur of creatures whose species could not be identified turned into bark, their bones were rubbed into trunks, and their shriveled limbs were even turned into trunks, wriggling from time to time.

As for the eyeballs and ears, they became the "leaves" of these corpse trees.

These corpse trees also have intertwined roots, crisscrossing the wet and smelly ground, as if they are buried deep in the earth.

While rooted in the earth, they also grow very tall and lush due to the abundant nutrients, and are everywhere.
A horrible sight of white and red.

"Oh my, this copy is really disgusting and scary..."

Although his body did not react much, Gua Gua really felt a little uncomfortable. If it were his real body, he would probably have started retching.

"It's just an illusion, don't take it too seriously." Tianji said.

well said.

Then why do you keep looking at other places and dare not look at these corpse trees?
Guagua was speechless.

She finally realized that this was a brother who liked to pretend to be profound but actually had little experience.

In other words, he loves to show off.

However, even though he pretends to be tough, this brother is really tough... She means strength.

"I have to tone down my senses a bit..."

Gua Gua couldn't stand it anymore and started to adjust the game settings.

After a moment, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better.

Then she glanced at the sky next to her and kindly reminded her, "You should adjust your senses as well, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable."

"Need not."

“Only by being there can you be truly tempered.”

Tianji let out a light breath and spoke seriously, forcing himself to focus his gaze on the corpse trees and face this horrifying scene.

Seeing this, Gua Gua smiled secretly in his heart and didn't say much.

It's normal for a young brother who is young and inexperienced in the world to like to show off in front of beautiful girls.

Gua Gua understands it very well because she is that beautiful girl, hehe.

"The guidance of the spirit candle is here, let's go."

Guagua felt the guidance of the spirit candle and determined the direction.

Fortunately, Lingzhu gave some guidance, otherwise they really wouldn't know where to start exploring this forest of corpses.

On the road.

Guagua felt a little strange.

Because Tianji would always pay attention to some places for no apparent reason and then pass by them, she corrected him several times.

Maybe the boss's thinking is different from that of ordinary people.

Soon, the two followed the guidance of the spirit candle and walked into the forest of corpses.

After crossing the tangled roots of the corpse tree, the two also encountered new monsters.

There was a crash.

The trunk of a corpse tree that was obviously thicker than the other corpse trees directly cracked.

A spherical monster made of broken bones and flesh fell down with mucus.

After a while of squirming, the parasites that had appeared on the crow before reappeared.

This monster named [Parasitic Insect Cyst] extended several tentacles from its body, and it pounced towards the two with a strange cry.

Guagua's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously planned to roll over.

She was considered a prison player, so she didn't have to stand there in a daze as punishment.

But before she could roll out, Tianji swung the dagger in his hand again and accurately pierced the opponent's eyeball.

The parasitic cyst immediately fell to the ground.

"Awesome, boss Tianji..." Gua Gua was about to praise him when he saw Tianji make another move.

Because the parasitic worm sac did not die immediately after falling to the ground like the previous parasitic worms, but its body suddenly broke open after a series of crazy twitching.

All of a sudden!
It was like the scene of a mother spider carrying a sac on her back being stepped on to death. Countless parasitic insects instantly flew out of the corpse and fled in all directions.

Some of the parasites came directly towards the two of them. Both of them had their pupils shrink suddenly and their scalps tingled.

Tianji reacted quickly, the battle broke out, and he used fists, feet and daggers to quickly kill two of the parasites.

However, due to the large number, a large number of parasites still slip through the net.

While wriggling, the pupil of the parasite's eye was staring straight at the melon and the sky.

The next second, one of the parasites took advantage of Gua Gua's inattention, bent its body, and catapulted to Gua Gua's face, drilling towards her mouth madly.

Gua Gua's pupils shrank. The sticky and horrible texture made her brain go blank for a moment.

Almost subconsciously, she reached out and threw it to the ground, then stomped on it hard!
"Ahhhh!!!"

Accompanied by a scream.

Bang!
In an instant, the parasite exploded when it was stepped on, and black blood covered the ground.

You killed the parasite.

“……”Tianji silently put down the dagger in his hand.

Although the fighting method was a bit ugly, it was still a kill.

"Are you okay?" Tianji asked.

"Nonsense, of course there is something wrong!" Gua Gua said sadly while wiping his face violently.

She was really a little overwhelmed. Although she was considered brave among girls, the scene just now...

Not to mention girls, even a seven-foot-tall man would have to make a sharp explosion obediently.

However, before the two had a chance to catch their breath, a new round of crisis arrived.

The parasitic insects that had just fled in all directions, after a while of squirming, jumped directly onto the trunk of the nearest corpse tree and then drilled directly into it.

Within two seconds, an eye broke through the bark and appeared, and the trunk and branches began to wriggle and change, transforming into tentacle after tentacle.

The corpses' bones also condensed into swords and heavy fists.

The next moment, these corpse trees that were host to the creatures twisted for a while, then crawled out of the ground, revealing four legs made of corpse bones, and attacked the two of them.

【Boarding Corpse Tree】

[Rank: Slag]

【Level: 21】

[Talent: None]

[Skill: None]

[Explanation: Where did this disgusting monster, the corpse tree inhabited by parasitic insects, come from? ]

Although its skills are blank, it is a slag-grade monster!

boom!
The four creatures that were living in the corpse trees attacked the two without saying a word using various weapons condensed by the corpse trees, causing the earth to shake violently.

"Beware!"

Seeing that Gua Gua didn't react for a while, Tianji kicked her in the butt without saying anything.

He had no thought of showing any mercy to women, and his feet were still burning with fire...

"Ouch!"

Gua Gua, who had just come to her senses, was about to roll over, but Tianji kicked her away and she fell to the ground.

He managed to dodge the attack of the corpse tree...

A fierce battle of four against two begins!
Guagua stood up from the ground and looked at the sky angrily.

But at this moment she couldn't care less and could only ignite the flames of war, transform into the form of an iron-faced sorcerer, and start fighting the enemy.

Without the previous disgusting situation that challenged the psychological endurance limit, Gua Gua, the prison player, also performed at his expected level.

There is no need to say more about the Skyrim side.

This corpse-hosting tree is big, but it's just for show.

And Tianji soon discovered the opponent's fatal weakness...that is, the eyeball.

The ending is naturally predictable.

[You killed the host corpse tree]

[Obtained: Wax Oil × 24]

[Obtained: Corpse Bark]

[Obtained: Bone Crusher (Excellent)]

"Gray! Sky!"

After dealing with the monster, Gua Gua came quickly with an angry look on his face.

"Why did you kick me just now!"

"This..." Tianji was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and looked at her in confusion: "Help you dodge the attack."

Any questions?

"..." Guagua's eyes went dark, and after a long pause he said, "We were so close just now, wouldn't it be better if you just pulled me over?"

It turns out that those idol dramas are not credible!
When the heroine on TV encounters danger, the hero will directly pull her into his arms and stare at her forever.

In the end, she only got one kick!
How dare you dare to step on such a delicate beauty like me!
So abominable!

"..."

Tianji then understood why she was so angry.

And in the situation just now, it is indeed better to do so.

After all, after kicking Gua Gua away, she still had to get up, and it was easy for her to be attacked by monsters at this time.

"I'm sorry, Miss Guagua, I didn't have time to think about it just now..."

After realizing this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Tianji's face.

When Gua Gua heard this, he was speechless but also felt a little amused.

He is indeed a greenhorn who has not experienced much of the world.

"never mind."

Gua Gua brushed the dirt off his butt and didn't intend to pursue the matter.

"Why does your wording sound a bit strange... girl... I rarely hear people call me that..."

"Hey, did you travel through time from ancient times? Or are you from a martial arts family with a simple and ancient family tradition? Like in novels, movies and TV dramas?"

Gua Gua couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hear her questions.

Tianji was silent for a moment, then shook his head in denial.

"Not without."

Seeing his classic three consecutive denials, Gua Gua suddenly felt a little funny.

Although Tianji seems to be trying to cover up something, Gua Gua still thinks that this may just be a middle school boy who may have watched too many costume dramas and martial arts films.

"Forget it if you don't tell me."

"Brother, please."

Guagua imitated him and made a joke.

"..."

It seems that I need to change my language habits.

Tianji walked forward silently.

"This way!" Within two seconds, Gua Gua pulled him speechlessly.

How is it that he always manages to go in the wrong direction?
In a slightly empty place.

The two finally found the milestone spirit candle and sat down.

Gua Gua also breathed a sigh of relief, pursed his lips and started complaining.

"Damn it, this game is getting more and more terrifying. Can't there be something normal? Where are the goblins? Where are the elves? Where are the dwarves? Why are there only bloody and terrifying monsters..."

"That kind of game is not fun." Tianji shook his head.

"..." Gua Gua was speechless. He was really good at ruining things.

But I have to say, this kind of game is indeed very exciting. It is disgusting, but it is exciting!

"Ok?"

Under Guagua's surprised gaze, Tianji frowned slightly and suddenly stood up, as if he had noticed something unusual.

In the later plot, I will write the specific information of some more important or typical monsters. I hope all readers will be aware of this!
