I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

This is a no-man's land somewhere in western Europe.

It was originally a wasteland, but in this season between autumn and winter, it was destroyed and yellowed, making it look particularly desolate.

However, one night, along with a strange sound, like the legendary earth dragon turning over, everything changed.

The wasteland turned into a forest overnight.

If you take a helicopter and look down from above, you will find strange black trees sprouting out of the ground like bamboo shoots after a rain, eroding the entire wilderness like waves.

Black trees, black forest. The border line of the Black Forest roughly forms a circle, and the forest covers an exaggerated area of ​​nearly two thousand square kilometers.

The forest does not have the greenery of spring and summer, nor the desolation of autumn and winter. There are only strange black and red colors, which look full of vitality, but also reveal an ominous silence.

Although the sun has risen, the interior of the forest is equally dark, making it difficult to distinguish between day and night. The difference between day and night is only the difference between darkness and red and black.

Like the intestines of a living thing, the blood flows gurglingly.

Yes, bleeding.

What the trees in this forest secrete is not sap, but blood.

Born from the flesh of trees and blood sucked from outside.

--Speak directly.

This forest is a different world.

The black forest with a diameter of fifty kilometers

Move according to a will "move"

It sucks the blood of all kinds of animals, like a giant feeding creature.

No one who steps into this forest can come back alive.

Witnesses who don't know the truth call the forest "Shupaluzpalut", and people in the mysterious world call this forest "Fuhailin Anashu", the seventh among the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles. Xi, a terrifying existence that has swallowed up countless lives.

The legend of "Fu Hai Lin Anaxiu" has been circulating for eight hundred years, and it is definitely a bad name. Anyone with a sane mind should stay away from the forest to avoid being swallowed up by the forest. But every time Fu Hailin appears, a considerable number of people will break into the forest.

Some want to defeat this vampire that has been doing evil for eight hundred years, some want to capture this ancient dead disciple, some want to negotiate with it, and even more want to obtain the legendary "True Red Fruit" in the center of the forest. ".

Legend has it that there is a big tree in the center of the Black Forest, which is Anasio's throne, and there is a red fruit there.

The blood sucked by the creatures that invaded the forest has solidified hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of blood, and there is only one drop of fruit - if you eat this fruit, you can become immortal.

It is like a candlelight that attracts moths.

There is an endless stream of human beings who enter the world hoping for the fruit of immortality.

This time, it's no exception.

Four days have passed since Fu Hailin appeared, and the number of hunters who broke into the black forest has reached three digits.

When the hunters came, most of them were full of confidence. However, not long after entering the forest, their self-confidence gradually lost, and finally turned into panic. It was too late to escape.

Because hunters are not fighting against a specific living or non-living thing, their enemies are everywhere——

Dense foliage that can cover the sky.

Tree roots clustered around the ground.

All of these have blood flowing through them.

The red-black forest longs for blood and roars like a wild beast.

Human beings seem too powerless in this.

Trees can be transformed into weapons to attack animals.

Even the atmosphere was filled with poisonous gas, and there was no place to escape.

The fate of those who enter the forest has been decided.

It is not unusual for a forest to swallow up an entire village and turn it into a part of the forest overnight.

A land that can think, wander in the world, and suck blood.

Fu Hai Lin Anaxiu is such an existence. To be an enemy to it is to be an enemy to the environment, to be an enemy to nature, to be an enemy to a "world".

People who have not experienced it will never know what it feels like. The result is to be swallowed up by the "world", become part of the forest, and become the nourishment of the true red fruit.

However, this is what happens to most people. There is no shortage of geniuses and monsters on this planet, and even if they are enemies of the "world", they cannot stop them.

Matou Shinji is one of them.

It was obvious that the alternating dark and red environment was so oppressive, the branches that were constantly coming around him were so continuous, and the birds, beasts, insects, and snakes hidden in the trees were so dangerous, yet he still walked step by step. Very stable, neither panic nor fear.

Although the calm posture cannot be called strolling in dangerous situations, it is definitely not difficult. To put it bluntly, it is probably the feeling of an experienced backpacker hiking in the wild. It is stressful, motivational and rewarding.

The pressure comes from attacks all the time and everywhere.

The motivation is that the intensity of the attack is constantly increasing, which shows that he is getting closer to the target.

As for the harvest...does it count as the explosion becomes more and more slippery?

The explosion here is not a magic explosion, but a purely physical one.

In fact, it is not easy to use magic in Fu Hailin, because it is a foreign world of its own, completely cutting off the connection between the magic circuit and the "Great Source". All the magician can use is his own "small source", which is the worst environment for the magician.

No matter how outstanding his talent is, his own "small source" cannot be compared with the planet's "big source". Under the constant attack of the forest, it will not take long for his magic power to be exhausted and his life to be lost. This is also the reason why Bartholomew, who has made it his mission to conquer the Dead Apostles, has always left Fu Hailin alone.

The only things you can rely on here are abilities that do not rely on magic power, such as physical abilities and equipment.

It is these two points that Shinji relies on to make steady progress. His powerful body ensured his forward speed, and the modern weapons collected through various channels gave him the resources to fight Fu Hailin.

Unlike followers whose souls are embodied, Fu Hailin is a blood-sucking plant that exists in the real world with a real body. Even if it reaches the level of a fantasy species, the self-contained alien world cannot escape the influence of physical rules, which gives Shinji room to exploit loopholes.

Branches and roots? Flamethrower! Burn, burn, burn!

animal? Grenade! Explode!

The small world that Erquit lives in is filled with all kinds of weapons collected by Shen Er. You can use them at will, burn as many as you like, and blow up as much as you like.

"Sure enough, technology is the primary productive force. It is far worse than destruction, and magic is far worse than technology. The Magic Association and the Holy Church are really clinging to the past. They are already in the 21st century, and they still use old ways of thinking. If it were me, I would directly destroy them with missiles. On the periphery, tanks are advancing in groups to blast the inner periphery, pushing all the way to the Red Throne, there is no need to work so hard!"

As he spoke, the boy threw an incendiary bomb with all his strength.

Just hearing a "boom", a different light appeared in the dark and deep black forest.

PS: Xingyue's battles have always focused on the mysterious level and rarely involve technology. Even Kiritsugu uses very limited modern weapons. But what cannot be ignored is that the mainstream of society is technology. For special existences like followers, which are neither mysterious nor harmful, technology is much more powerful than magic. "Fate Strange Fake" does this very well. The US military in it clearly expresses that the "Moon Spirit Essence Liquid" cannot stop an anti-tank rifle, and the old insect's insect magic cannot stop a missile. In the end, There is also a sentence "Don't underestimate the young country." The irony contained in it is really pleasant.

PS2: There is also a very classic scene in "Fate strange fake", where a grenade kills the gangster, which is so refreshing.

PS3: Attention, attention, the old book club group is full, and you can’t get in even if you apply since yesterday. A new book club group is now open, the group number is 1·3·2·6·4·8·0·9· 1. If you want to add, add it here. This is a large group of 2,000 people contributed by the boss. You may not be able to fill it up in a lifetime. (The group leader is not the traitor, but a certain manager. The traitor is a poor person who has no money to become a VIP)
