Minar Forest – Nest in the Sky

Although Harvey and Bloody Harvey saved themselves and others, adventurers and monsters are opposites after all, except for Nebula, Nask, Elaine and Uncle Wither all stared at Harvey and Bloody Harvey in front of them with a wary face, for fear that they would pounce on them in the next moment.

At that moment, there was a slight flapping of wings from below the Sky Tree, and at Nask's signal, Elaine cautiously approached the edge and looked down.

"Captain!! It's Lucio!! Lucio: He's alive! He....... He was rescued by two Harveys. Elaine shouted at Nask with delight.

Hearing Elaine's words, Nask and Wither looked at each other and took the initiative to withdraw their weapons, although Nask did not completely let down his guard, but his attitude towards Harvey and Bloody Harvey was much friendlier than before.

Nask hesitated for a moment, then asked the Harveys, "Can you understand what I'm saying?" ”

One of the bloody Harveys in the lead flew out of the flock and nodded to Nask.

"First of all, on behalf of our adventurer team, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for the rescue just now. But I want to know why you saved us? Adventurers and monsters have always been in a hostile relationship, and there is no reason why monsters are impossible to sacrifice their lives to save adventurers who are enemies. Nask asked the bloody Harvey who was taking the lead.

However, even if Bloody Harvey was chattering a lot in bird language, Nebula and the others couldn't understand it at all.

Just when everyone was in trouble, Wither, as if he suddenly remembered something important, exclaimed, and said to everyone: "Our Onaris family has a recipe for a potion, and it is said that if you use that potion, you can understand the speech of various monsters. ”

With that, Uncle Wither opened his spatial ring and rummaged around.

Books, pens, and even handkerchiefs and contracts were turned out, and Wither finally found the recipe for the potion in the middle of the cover of a heavy brown-red book.

Nask, Elaine, and Lucio hurriedly went up to look at it, only to find that the text of the potion recipe was so abstract that they couldn't understand it.

Nebula also squeezed forward, staring at the potion recipe in Wither's hand with his feet upside down.

"This is the dragon script, specially used to preserve some of the more important potion recipes, if you are not a knowledgeable pharmacist, you will not be able to read the dragon script at all." Nebula folded his hands and explained to everyone.

Hearing what Nebula said, Lucio "cut~~" and said to everyone: "Cut! It's not useless, in this wilderness, where to find a senior pharmacist? ”

"Sister Elaine, do you still have the fruit of the Minar Tree? In addition to materials such as tricolor flowers, purple moonflowers, and green liquor balls, I also need a fruit from a Minar tree. Nebula ignored Lucio and asked Elaine directly.

Elaine nodded, took out a red fruit from his pocket and handed it to Nebula, explaining to Nebula, "I have two fruits left here, and when I smeared fruit juice on my handkerchief to attract beetles, I picked two more and didn't use them up. ”

Taking the fruit from Elaine, Nebula pulled out the simple dispensing table from the spatial ring and began to process the materials.

First, the skin of the fruit is skillfully peeled with a silver knife, and then the pale red silk thread in the flesh is picked out, and then the seeds of the purple moonflower are ground into powder, and then the green liquor ball is beaten into a paste with a pestle.......

Looking at Nebula's smooth operation, the four of Nask were so stunned that they couldn't say a word, and just watched Nebula from the processing of materials to the completion of the potion.

With the light medicinal fragrance wafting out, Nask and the others instantly came to their senses, they glanced at each other, but they didn't know what to say.

In addition to being an alchemy master, this guy is also a senior pharmacist?

The Nask trio, who originally thought they knew a lot about Nebula, found that they only knew about the surface, and they didn't know what secrets Nebula's child's employer was hiding.

As for Uncle Wither, after he understood that Nebula was a genius pharmacist, he showed a strange expression in addition to surprise.

Nebula handed the prepared potion to Elaine and said to Elaine, "This is the Word of Nature Elixir, and within half an hour of drinking the potion, you can understand the speech of any natural creature. Ask the Harveys what is going on in the forest? Why do they help us, and what do they need us to do? ”

Looking at the bottle of emerald blue potion in front of him, Elaine did not hesitate at all, and drank it directly.

After handing the empty flask to Nebula, Elaine felt a dull pain suddenly in her mind, and her vision began to distort, and when she opened her eyes again, Elaine found that her body had not changed.

Just as Elaine was about to ask Nebula if the potion had any effect, a gentle female voice came to Elaine's mind: "Little girl, are you okay?" ”

Wait a minute! Where are there women here other than themselves? Could it be ........

Elaine turned her head to see the lead bloody Harvey looking at her with a smile.

Elaine stared at Bloody Harvey without blinking, and cautiously asked, "Yes........ Are you talking? ”

"That's right! Human maiden, I'm talking to you! My name is Sayat. Harvey, the leader of the Bloody Harvey, is a pleasure to meet you. Bloody Harvey said kindly to Elaine.

When Elaine found out that she was able to talk to Harvey, she said to the bloody Harvey leader with some excitement, "Hello, Lady Sayat! I'm also glad to meet you, my name is Elaine and he's our captain Nask.........."

"That........ Sister Elaine, time is limited, so let's introduce yourself! Ask me why! Nebula frowned slightly and suggested to Elaine.

Elaine scratched her head in embarrassment, and began to ask Sayat about what had happened in Minar Forest recently, and why it had darkened the monsters........

In the face of Elaine's careful questioning, Sayat did not hide the slightest, and twittered all about Elaine what happened in the forest.

It all started a month ago..........

★?????????????????? ★

A month ago –

An uninvited guest came to the Minar Forest, dressed in black robes and holding a long staff as black as ink, surrounded by a strange black mist.

Originally, all the monsters thought that this person was an adventurer who hunted monsters and obtained materials from monsters, just like most of the humans who entered the forest.

The Minar Forest is a high-level monster hunting ground, and high-level adventurers come and go frequently, and it doesn't matter to the monsters that there is one more person or one less, and they have no idea what kind of disaster this uninvited guest will bring to the forest.

Soon after the uninvited guest entered the forest, the entire Minar forest was filled with a dark mist.

At first, the monsters didn't care about the mist, and it didn't hurt or itch in the mist, just like ordinary clouds.

However, as the dark mist gradually melted into the monsters' bodies, the monsters began to change dramatically.

Monsters that have inhaled the black mist have gradually lost their sanity and their strength has begun to increase dramatically, fully activating their killing instincts, and even attacking their companions.

The monsters also tried to kill those darkened monsters that lost their minds, but they found that once the darkened monsters were killed, although the black fog would dissipate temporarily, the black fog would soon recondense, and the black fog would be larger, and the re-condensed black fog would split into two balls and reattach to other monsters, and those two monsters would become new infected.

Faced with a dark fog like a virus, the monsters that have not yet been infected have to turn to the sage for help.

Below the Sky Nest is Goat Canyon, a hidden space in Goat Canyon where the legendary five sages lived, and it is said that the space is a small forest, so this space is also called the Priest's Forest.

The Forest of Priests is an absolutely forbidden existence for monsters, and each of the five sages who inhabit the hidden space has the strength to destroy the world.

Although the monsters of the Minnar Forest fear the sages, they are also grateful for their existence.

Monsters are dangerous to those who live in the adventurous world, from the weakest green snail to the bat demon that is considered a disaster, no matter what kind of monster is considered by adventurers to be eradicated.

However, the reproduction ability of the monsters is too strong, especially the low-level monsters such as the green snail and the green water spirit, no matter what method is used to destroy them, after a while, they will appear in groups again.

Of course, if a big force such as the Holy Land wants to completely destroy low-level monsters, it is not impossible to do it, but considering that those novice adventurers still need low-level monster materials such as green liquid balls, snail shells, and mushroom caps to make a living, and low-level potions and alchemy equipment also need these materials, the high-level leaders of the major forces have also given up this naïve idea.

If the monsters are too flooded, the higher-ups will place a bulletin board in a prominent place at the entrance to the monster area, issue a bounty announcement, and hire adventurers to destroy the monsters, for example, the entrance to the ant cave often has a bounty announcement for the destruction of 999 thorny mushrooms.

However, this is not often the case in the Minar Forest.

There is a rule in the adventure world that the higher the level of the monster, the weaker the breeding ability. Although the reproduction rate of high-level monsters is already very fast compared to humans, compared to low-level monsters such as the Green Water Spirit, Harvey and Bloody Harvey's reproductive ability is significantly reduced. Most Green Spirits are produced once every three days, while Harvey and Bloody Harvey basically take more than a week.

Due to the high monster materials are more valuable, there are often adventurers in the Minar Forest who come to hunt, although there are also times when adventurers are counter-killed, but most of them are unilateral slaughter of monsters by adventurers, and sometimes there are even situations where adventurers empty the monster area.

Of course, monsters are naturally fierce, and most monsters are born with a penchant for killing, so it's understandable to be killed by adventurers. But then there will be a problem of genocide, and if the adventurers are allowed to continue to kill endlessly, no matter what kind of monster they are, they will be on the verge of extinction.

The sages of the Priest's Forest have also noticed this, and when the monsters are overslaughtered, they will place a sign at the entrance to the monster area indicating the hunting period, during which adventurers are forbidden to hunt.

Therefore, for the monsters, the sages are not only powerful and dangerous beings, but also great benefactors to protect the reproduction of their race.

However, when the monsters arrived at the entrance of the hidden space in the Goat Canyon, that is, the entrance to the Priest's Forest, they were surprised to find that the entrance to the Priest's Forest was wrapped in a thick layer of black fog, and the sages showed no sign of coming out, as if they were sealed in the space by this layer of thick black fog.

A few days later, the human adventurers also discovered the existence of the Darkened Monsters, but the first thing they did was not to find out the cause of the Darkening Monsters, but to kill these Darkened Monsters.

But the adventurers didn't know that after the Darkened Monster was killed, more Darkened Monsters would also be born.

Faced with the endless slaughter of the darkened monsters, the adventurers first retreated back to Shenmu Village and told the village chief Tataman about it.

After that, Nebula and the others also knew that in order to destroy these unknown darkened monsters, the village chief Tataman issued a high bounty and hired adventurers to destroy the darkened monsters.

If the adventurers are allowed to continue to kill like this........

The monsters of the entire Minar Forest will be turned into dark monsters! Even if all the dark monsters are slaughtered in the future, the natural and peaceful Minar Forest will become a forest of death without life and full of dark aura!!
