Lord of the Witches

Tang Qi has never felt the cold since he became a "Sorcerer of the Furnace".

On the mysterious side, those monsters that can freeze the body, or the ghosts that freeze the soul, will be reduced to nothingness under the burning of that golden flame.

But now, the long-lost feeling came, and it was even more frightening.

Tang Qi could clearly feel it, and as the "black shadow" approached, his thinking became sluggish.

boom!

Without hesitation, the magic power in his body, much stronger than before entering the "Forest of Ignorance", gushed out like a tide.

Sure enough, in Tang Qi's perception, some invisible things seemed to be burned clean.

The normal feeling replaced the coldness.

But soon, a new strange feeling emerged.

In front of him, just a second ago, the extremely weird black figure was still in the distance, walking slowly towards Tang Qi.

After Tang Qi blinked, he suddenly found that it appeared in front of him.

A few steps away, in front of the dead tree, stood a terrifying deer.

It has a vigorous and lean body, with strong four hooves, stepping on the cold gravel, but starting from the neck, the skin and flesh disappeared, replaced by a human spine, with slender red nerves hanging down.

The spine is connected to the upper body of a human. The skin is pale and sticks tightly to the bones. A pair of arms are naturally vertical. On the top of its head are a pair of crossed, extended, majestic and mighty antlers.

its face?

No, it has no face, it looks like a bone mask, and in the center is a vertical pupil that is slowly opening.

Tang Qi was about to look at him, when suddenly his heart stopped suddenly, and a strong premonition of danger burst and exploded.

Subconsciously, he wanted to close his eyes or look elsewhere. In an instant, he remembered Amanda in his arms, and she had woken up.

Tang Qi secretly said "no", and was planning to remind, or directly use the "body control spell" to seize control of Amanda's body, so as to prevent her from getting involved in unknown dangers.

Amanda's terrified and worried voice also came at this time.

"Quick, close your eyes!"

"Back to the forest."

Without hesitation, Tang Qi followed Amanda's suggestion.

Although he has the information left by Ralph, compared with the native Amanda of this world, Ralph's information is too outdated.

To be exact, if he really followed the "customs clearance method" left by Ralph, he would have died in Piggy Territory.

Ralph entered this world for the first time back then, and even though he encountered some dangers, they were all small disturbances that could not threaten his life.

And the rest of his encounters can be called fantasy.

If it is written as a book, it can definitely be included in the category of "children's books".

Don't need to work too much, Tang Qi only needs to jump back lightly, and the softness can be felt again under his feet. After the familiar smell left by the burning fuel of the magic power of the furnace penetrates into his nose, Tang Qi turns around and opens his mouth again. eyes.

Ahead, there were embers, dust and black smoke again.

In his arms, Amanda also opened his eyes at this time.

For the first time, Tang Qi saw the look of panic in her eyes. She had never changed her expression when facing crazy fairies and long-haired monsters before.

Obviously, the deer that came out of the "dark plain" was more terrifying than both of them.

"What is that thing?"

Due to the time being too fast, Tang Qi's special ability failed to capture enough fragments of information, so he directly asked Amanda, who was obviously in the know.

After having a "sleep of sweet dreams", the spirit of the girl was obviously much better.

The lost vitality seems to have recovered some.

Only the bloody leg still needed time, so she didn't forcefully get out of Tang Qi's arms this time.

She resisted looking at the dark plain, let out a breath, and then opened her mouth, uttering a name:

"The deer of food, that is... a deer of food!"

The three weird words spit out from her mouth seemed to bring back many bad memories.

A look of sadness appeared on her face.

Amanda did not continue to explain the deer of food, but told some stories first.

"When this world just started to degenerate, there were not many existences like me, Tyron, and Mulla, even more than the degenerate creatures. At that time, we realized that something was wrong and wanted to re-enter Debo Lazhen, go save mother, save the world."

"But at that time, the Doomsday Volcano, the Dark Plain, the Forest of Obscurity... These places have already appeared, and they squeezed all the nodes off the top of the mountain. The monsters in each place seem to restrain us. We have failed in several adventures. gone."

"Although after death, we will be reborn, but every time we die, not only will the memory be emptied, but the power to resist pollution will also be reduced."

"When we came up, at least half of the monsters we encountered were our partners a long time ago."

"Actually, before you came, one of us almost re-entered the town of Deborah... But in the end, Grandpa Merlin was rejected by his mother. Everything we know about the Forest of Ignorance and the Dark Plain , In fact, it was all passed on to us by Grandpa Merlin."

"Before him, none of us could break through the territory of the living corpses."

Having said that, Amanda paused.

Glancing at the isolated dark plain, he continued: "Grandpa Merlin told us that there may be some tricky ways to deal with ignorant living corpses, but to break through the dark plain, you can't use any skills, and even use skills to attract something scarier."

"Eating deer, or other monsters, they are neither life nor ghosts, they are something called 'desire embodiment'."

Amanda, who seemed to be immersed in memories, was relaying the information obtained from a wise man to Tang Qi in its entirety.

"No one knows how vast the dark plain is. All they know is that there are the most weird and terrifying weather in it, storms, lightning, ice and snow... may switch in a few seconds. In this extremely harsh environment, some terrible things will appear. the embodiment of desire.”

"They are not afraid of any attack, whether it is the body or magic. They don't seem to be able to think like humans, but they are extremely cunning. They will not have a fair confrontation with the intruder unless it is confirmed that the intruder is extremely weak."

"Most of the time, they just do sneak attacks."

"Once confused by the embodiment of desire, no matter how powerful an existence is, it will sink in darkness."

Complicated but vague information spit out from Amanda's mouth.

Her narration sounds a lot, but it doesn't involve much substance.

Except for the name "Meilin", Tang Qi frowned.

Although the world is completely different, one can speculate from those encountered on the giant mountain before. Sometimes the name can also represent something.

"Merlin is the most powerful and intelligent among untainted creatures like Amanda."

"He passed all the checkpoints, but was rejected in the end."

"Regarding the dark plain, the monster called the 'Deer of Food' is a kind of embodiment of desire. They are not afraid of physical or spiritual attacks. They are neither life nor soul... In other words, it is very possible None of my methods will work, even if it is a trial, you must first have a soul."

"It's a trick, it will attract even more terrifying monsters...meaning, if I use Diana, instead of being able to protect Amanda and me from passing through, it will attract even more terrifying manifestations of desire?"

These thoughts flashed through Tang Qi's mind.

He frowned, looked at Amanda, and asked, "The deer of food represents appetite?"

"No, or not quite."

"Grandpa Merlin said that desires are all complicated. In the dark plain, there is rarely a single desire. They are always entangled. There is only one way to get through there."

Amanda shook her head and immediately denied Tang Qi's conjecture.

Before he could continue asking, Amanda announced the answer:

"Only those who persist in their faith can look directly at the desire in the dark."

Hearing this sonorous and powerful sentence, Tang Qi remained silent.

This kind of adage really sounds like the old people in those children's books used to fool the young, second-year fools.

Just when Tang Qi complained, Amanda suddenly remembered something, and continued: "By the way, Grandpa Merlin also said that if you can kill a desire embodiment, it will drop some treasures, which can increase our ability to survive the end of the world." Chances of a volcano."

"Killing monsters and dropping treasures...the next level...is more like a warrior game for fooling sophomores."

Tang Qi suddenly felt very troublesome. This should be the first time he felt that all the powers he possessed seemed to be unable to work.

If that "Merlin" didn't lie, it means that the monster called "Desire Manifestation" that spreads all over the dark plain can defeat almost all supernatural beings.

At other times, Tang Qi might not believe it.

But just now, he had seen the "Deer of Food" with his own eyes, and that weird, icy taste really made Tang Qi feel extremely dangerous.

Most importantly, according to Merlin, the deer of food is not the most terrifying "desire" in the dark plain.

Taking a breath, Tang Qi thought of something, looked directly at Amanda, and asked without hesitation.

"Where did Merlin go after being rejected?"

Tang Qi's abrupt question made Amanda suddenly fall silent.

The color of sadness became more and more intense.

He didn't ask, but just waited quietly, although Tang Qi had already guessed something from Amanda's reaction.

After a while, Amanda calmed down.

She raised her head, looked at Tang Qi with unprecedented trust, and immediately said:

"Grandpa Merlin, after he was rejected by his mother, he passed on all the information to us, and then...he jumped into the Doomsday Volcano. That night we heard a terrible roar, and saw a terrifying shadow reflected from the volcano."

"Tayron said, Grandpa Merlin...has fallen!"
