Chapter 428: Almost Got Trapped
"I was just asking, and I didn't plan to do anything." Zhenhong defended without saying anything more, and then started to move with us.
Although I had known that there were many monsters suppressed in this monster-locking forest, after I actually entered, I realized that the number was far greater than I had imagined. Here, as long as there is something with artificial traces, except for the road, there must be monsters suppressed, and I really want to vaguely remember that a certain god once told me before that there is a path up the mountain here that suppresses monsters. He is carrying a demonic dragon, so even the roads may not be completely ordinary roads.
After walking around the big rock for a short distance, we came across a large, misshapen tree. It is completely different from the tall and tall normal plants around. The tree in front of me is twisted into a weird shape like an abstract sculpture. The branches are entangled with each other, and there is no clear direction of the branches at all. Moreover, this tree stretches from head to head. There is not a single leaf at the foot. Instead, some black fruits the size of a human head can be vaguely seen hanging between the branches.
Similar to the previous stone, this tree was also surrounded by a cordon-like isolation belt with hemp rope, but it did not have such a complicated mesh structure. It was just a circle with hemp rope. In addition, yellow talismans are hung on these hemp ropes at regular intervals. Although the things here are at least thousands of years old, the talisman on the yellow paper not only has not faded or rotted at all, but also exudes a faint scent. The golden light looks like it is made of gold foil.
"What kind of monster is this?" Zhenhong asked curiously, looking at the twisted tree.
Jin Coin glanced at the big tree over there, and then said: "I don't know what the monster below is, but the tree above is not a monster."
"Isn't this tree a monster?" Zhenhong is not good at identifying monsters, so he doesn't know much about these things.
Jin Coin explained: "That tree is a seal. The real monsters are under the roots of the tree. The big tree will continue to absorb the monsters' monster power during the growth process. Then it will be purified with the power of the spell outside, and the final power will be used for Strengthen itself. The bigger the tree grows, the weaker the monsters below it become. When the tree is fully mature, the monsters below will be completely sucked dry, and then the tree will probably turn into something like a monster. .”
"How can you be so ugly and turn into a god?"
"It's normal to have a weird shape when it absorbs demon power to grow." After Jin Coin finished speaking, he said: "It's a pity that it's not peach wood. Otherwise, it would be nice to get a branch and make a peach wood sword. This kind of plant that absorbs demon power to grow is already a demon before it reaches adulthood. He has the body of an immortal, if this is made into a mahogany sword, its power will be absolutely explosive!"
"This thing has grown up to be so virtuous, but you can still tell what kind of tree it is?" Zhenhong asked in surprise.
"I can't see it, I feel it. The energy of peach wood is not so obscure. It's almost impossible to identify the original tree species of this thing now, but I can be sure that it is not peach wood."
"Hey, hey, hey. There seems to be another one over there." With sharp eyes, he discovered that there was another tree just twenty meters away, and he could vaguely see it through the gap between the trees blocking the road. There is a similar sealing circle.
Jin Coin immediately became excited when she saw the trees over there, and then ran over there, but as soon as she ran two steps, she suddenly felt a huge force pulling her back, but just now she felt she had lost her balance. He was suddenly picked up. So I didn't fall.
Jin Coin was sure that there was no one behind her before. Zhenhong was on her side, and I had already walked out for some distance in front. However, I was inexplicably pulled back by the person behind me. This startled her, but from the smell, she felt that the person who caught her was quite familiar. So after just being startled, she calmed down and took no further action.
Looking back behind her, Jin Coin was surprised to find that it was me who pulled her. She opened her mouth and pointed at me in surprise for two seconds, then quickly turned her head to look where I should have been before, but she saw nothing. She immediately turned her head to look at me again, but before she could speak, she heard me say, "Look what's in front of you?"
Although it was a bit baffling, Jin Coin still followed the instructions and turned around to look at the place where he was going to go. Only to find that less than two meters in front of him was a dense rope net, and it was the same as the one with the stone sealed before. The difference between the rope net and the rope net is that there are obviously more copper coins on this rope net, but the biggest difference from the previous seal is the tree inside. The branches protruding from the tree have actually become entangled in the rope net outside, and some even extend outside.
This picture was obviously different from the simple isolation seal she saw before, which meant that what she saw before was actually some kind of illusion.
"Did I just...?" Jin Coin pointed at himself and asked uncertainly.
Zhenhong nodded and said: "We were walking well when I noticed that you suddenly turned your head and looked at the big tree over there in a daze. I called you twice but there was no response. Then you suddenly ran towards the seal and wanted to It’s not that the boss reacted quickly and pulled you back, you’ve already pounced on me.”
"The boat capsized in the gutter!" Jin Coin looked at the big tree over there and jumped up and down, but there was nothing she could do if she got angry. Even if she knew it was the monster under the big tree over there that was causing trouble, what could she do? Rush in for a duel? People can't wait to do it. Although the seal on the outside is just a simple rope net, it seems that it can be cut with two swords. But this is true for people outside, but not the monsters inside. In fact, this rope net is not the only one we see. It extends all the way to the bottom of the big tree, and there is a large area underground covered by this net. If you pull this net up and lift it up, you can eventually lift up this large piece of ground together with the soil inside and the tree.
This thing is called the Heaven and Earth Net. It can be said to be the most classic and practical magic circle among the immortal magic circles. It not only saves time, effort and materials to set up, but most importantly, the effect is outstanding. The only drawback is that this magic circle has great impact on the internal environment. Not to the outside world, if the sealed thing has the help of external objects, it can easily escape. This is why the Monster Lock Forest must be closed. Otherwise, if someone touches it without knowing the situation, the monsters inside can come out and do mischief.
The monster inside just used magic to temporarily control the gold coin's thoughts, and then created an illusion to make her rush towards the seal over there. As long as the gold coin hits it, the seal will inevitably loosen, and then the monster will be able to rush out with great confidence. . Unfortunately, this monster has too little power in the seal and can only control one of the three of us. As a result, Zhenhong and I were more vigilant, so the gold coin was pulled by us before it could hit the seal. Now that he is alive, and his mind has returned to normal with this gold coin, it will be much more difficult for the monster to attack again.
"The Demon Locking Forest is indeed well-deserved. These are just the little demons on the outside. They can actually do this kind of thing. Will we not be able to get out if we go inside?" Jin Coin looked at me and asked worriedly.
I shook my head and said, "You're not vigilant enough. Just pay more attention in the future. The monsters here are all sealed. At most, they can only create some illusions or power projections. They won't be that powerful."
I just finished talking about the gold coins and suddenly my expression became serious, and then I looked at me and asked: "You said that the people from the Rainbow Alliance came to us for nothing, could they be just to release these monsters to harm us?"
"This... it seems like this is really possible!" (To be continued ~^~)
