Chapter 383: Cursed Forest
Although Nebula had great doubts about the fact that a cat was his senior brother, it was not a good time to find out the roots, so Nebula had to suppress the doubts in his heart and continued to ask Pan Xi about the giant monkey monster.
The most important thing is the exact location of Faust, the outskirts of the Enchanted Jungle are full of labyrinthine dense forests that are complex enough to make people dizzy, especially the large and small tree holes, few people can know how many exits there are and where they lead.
"Faust himself is actually just an ordinary monkey with magical powers, it has lodged evil spirits in its own body, and with the power of evil spirits, it has a huge size and terrifying power that ordinary monkeys cannot match. It was supposed to inhabit the dark Cursed Forest, but I don't know exactly where it was. Pan Xi jumped back on the branch, curled up and yawned, and said to the three of them.
After listening to Pan Xi's explanation, Xingyun frowned slightly and then asked Pan Xi, "Then Senior Brother Pan Xi, do you have a way to find out the exact location of Faust?" There are six small forests in the Cursed Forest, and if you can't confirm its location, it's still quite dangerous in the Cursed Forest, which is full of dark aura. ”
"Well~~~ Since you have asked so sincerely, then I will tell you meow with compassion! Go to the depths of the Cursed Forest, a place full of evil aura, hunt the darkened witches, find ten cursed nails from them, and bring them to meow. Only through the dark aura extracted from the cursed nails can you find a place with the same aura, go meow! Pan Xi waved his paw and said to Nebula.
After hearing Pan Xi's answer, Xingyun was overjoyed, after all, as long as he could find Faust's location, it would be very easy to take down this boss-level monster that was only level forty-five.
So Nebula and his two companions returned to the top of the Great Wood Forest, and from a hidden entrance in the upper right, through an inscription magic circle with a milky white film, they entered the dark area on the outskirts of the Magical Forest, the Cursed Forest
★?????????????????? ★
The Forest of the Cursed used to have a very nice name, called the Little Wood Forest, which was a herb garden used by the elves to cultivate medicinal herbs in the past.
Three hundred years ago, just after the end of the War against the Dark Magicians, Hans was still young and stepped into the forbidden area of the Dark Arts in order to pursue the truth of magic.
Hans, who was obsessed with black magic at the time, made a very large number of cursed dolls, and those cursed dolls with a strange aura were lost in a magical research explosion accident, and were accidentally picked up by the monkeys on the outskirts of the magical jungle, and they were eroded by the dark aura attached to the cursed dolls and turned into zombie monkeys.
At the same time, after some curse nails were obtained by the young female magician, she gradually became affected by the black magic, betrayed her soul to the demon, and obtained the dark power from the demon, and her body and mind became very evil.
When Hans came to his senses, he naturally wanted to clean up his mistakes, but he didn't know if the zombie monkey or the witch had gotten the things left behind by the Dark Mage, or had the support of the Dark Mage Legion.
The area of the small woods where the zombie monkeys and witches are located is filled with a dark aura overnight, and after that, both zombie monkeys and witches will be resurrected every once in a while after being killed due to the effects of the dark breath.
Even if they are all wiped out, they will always be resurrected one after another, unless they are purified by the light of a priest or the like.
But the priest-level clergy profession is too small, and the number of zombie monkeys and witches is also increasing, and it is impossible to kill them all, even if the bishop-level priest enters the cursed forest, he can only slightly clear some of the zombie monkeys and witches.
Even the Holy Light released by the Rank 180 Archbishop has nothing to do with this cursed forest that is completely shrouded in dark aura, and I am afraid that unless it reaches the strength of a black mage, it will be able to completely solve this cursed forest.
Thankfully, the Cursed Forest, shrouded in darkness, is just an area of several small woods joined together, and the area is not too large.
Hans united the Inscription Masters of the Craftsman's Village, the Inscription Society, the Alchemist's Guild, and other forces to create a Sacred Barrier Inscription Magic Circle on the edge of the Cursed Forest.
The Cursed Forest was completely surrounded by a milky white sacred barrier, and the magic array with the sacred barrier inscription could prevent the entry and exit of all items with a dark aura, including dark creatures such as zombie monkeys and other dark creatures with a dark aura on their bodies.
As a result, the Cursed Forest has become a prison for zombie monkeys and witches, and no matter how rampant they are inside, they will never be able to break through the master-level sacred barrier inscription magic array.
The Cursed Forest occasionally became a place for high-level adventurers above level fifty to wander, after all, it was once a medicinal herb garden for elves, and there were many cherished medicinal herbs in it. And clearing witches and zombie monkeys is a cleaning task that the Adventurer Guild of the Magic Forest will release every month, as long as you get the cursed doll from the zombie monkey, the frog for experimentation on the witch, and the adventurer guild of the Magic Jungle, you will be rewarded accordingly.
As for why each witch carries a live frog in an experimental glass bottle, it is still an unsolved mystery
In a dark and damp jungle covered with pale black mist, the three of them carefully moved their steps towards the depths of the jungle.
The three of them were surrounded by zombie monkeys with black and blue heads with yellow circles on their heads and eyes shining with a bright blue light, and there were many zombie monkeys on the vines, on the rope bridges, next to the tree holes, and even on the dense branches of the trees they were walking on now.
Nebula, Brad, and Assers walked silently on the densely intertwined branches, and the zombie monkeys seemed to be blind, not one of them noticing that the three Nebulae were approaching the depths of the Cursed Forest.
Of course, after all, Brad used his specialty of invisibility, and Nebula, Axelse, and Monchi also drank the invisibility potion specifically to avoid being entangled by those zombie monkeys in the Cursed Forest.
Just when Nebula thought that everyone could easily dive into the evil forest inhabited by the witches of the Cursed Forest
"Click~~~" Assers accidentally stepped on a dead branch, and Axels, who was so nervous that he was startled, retreated again and again, and crashed into the body of a zombie monkey, and the zombie monkey was hit by Assers and fell off the branch.
"Squeak~~~~" This unlucky zombie monkey fell directly onto the enchantment of the Divine Barrier Inscription Magic Array at the bottom, and it was almost instantly burned out by the white holy fire released by the Sacred Barrier Inscription Magic Array, turning into a wisp of white smoke and dissipating into the air.
"Squeak~~~Squeak~~~~" A series of zombie monkey cries suddenly rose one after another in the gray cursed forest, and the black and blue zombie monkeys began to move around, as if they were looking for something.
Brad covered his forehead and whispered to Assers: "Didn't you say to pay attention to your step!?" Why don't you listen? ”
Assers apologized to Nebula and Brad in embarrassment, bowing his head and admitting his mistake sincerely, while Monchi whispered to Brad "squeak", as if explaining something to Brad.
"Brad, don't hold anyone accountable at this time, I expected this to happen, huh! One by one, in our arms, and leaving the zombie monkeys alone, we continue to dive into the depths of the Cursed Forest. Nebula whispered to Brad and Asselse, and shoved a spherical pitch-black ore into their arms.
There are many irregular small spikes on its ore, and a mysterious and dark aura lingers around the ore and does not dissipate for a long time.
The zombie monkey, who had already rushed to the vicinity of Brad's side where the incident occurred and was carefully probing the situation, scratched his head in confusion and ate a banana after feeling the dark aura coming from Brad's body, and then ran in the other direction with both feet and one hand.
Assers asked Nebula in confusion, "Nebula, what is this ore?" The dark aura it exudes is capable of confusing the perception of zombie monkeys! ”
"The thing you're holding in your hand is a high-grade dark crystal, and when opened, it has some pure dark aura, which is perfect for confusing those stupid zombie monkeys." Nebula rubbed his nose and explained to Assers.
The Dark Crystal is one of the most exotic equipment crafting materials and enhancement crystals, but due to its complex properties, no one can be sure of the benefits of using the Dark Crystal as an enhancement gem for crafting equipment.
Even so, the price of the dark crystal has always been high, only slightly cheaper than the multicolored crystal, which is known as a rare treasure, and it seems that Nebula trusts the two of them very much to give Brad and Assers so reassuringly.
In this way, the three Nebulas came to the evil forest where the witches lived.
The dark magic elements of the Evil Forest were much thicker than the outer perimeter of the Cursed Forest, almost solidifying into a substantial mist.
Learning the magic of the dark attribute here can be said to be twice the result with half the effort, but unfortunately, the witch who sold her soul to the demon could not reach level fifty-six for some reason.
In other words, witches can only reach level fifty-five at most, which is undoubtedly good news for the three Nebulas
(It's late today, I went out with my old classmates, and I didn't get home until nine.) )
