The next moment, thousands of cobweb cracks burst out of the dark red sky like coagulated plasma, and deep in each crack flashed blue phosphorescence, like countless magic eyes opening in the void, and the sound of "click, click, click" continued to explode.
This spiritual space finally fulfilled its final "mission" after its owner disappeared.
The entire land seemed to be held in the palm of a giant god and kneaded. Rotten mud wrapped in the roots of dead trees spurted out from the cracks, and the sulfur-smelling air exploded with sharp screams.
Dick The ground beneath his feet completely collapsed, and his body continued to fall along with the gravel and trees, falling... into endless darkness.
In a daze, Dick looked around and found Xiya lying on the soft grass aside.
The surrounding jungle is dense, the vegetation is prosperous, and the crisp chirping of birds can be heard in the sky.
A red sun is shining generously in the sky, and it is already morning.
Looking further ahead, there is a lush, tall and dense forest.
"Noldor Forest!" Dick shouted excitedly, "Look at the distance, it's only a few hundred meters away."
Although Yuejiqi fiddled with the details of the contract, there was nothing wrong with the final result.
At this time, a subtle hum came from behind.
Dick turned around in surprise, Xiya had already opened his eyes.
"Xiya, we have passed through Mist Swamp, you will be rescued soon."
At this time, the lines on Xiya's body like those of Lava are still clearly visible.
Dick helped her up, Xiya opened her arms and took a deep breath, "Sure enough, we came out."
Seeing Xiya so happy, Dick was also extremely happy.
He was about to pick up Xiya and continue moving forward when suddenly, there were chaotic footsteps in front of him.
"Run, keep running!" Dick relied on his keen Witcher Senses to hear a man's sarcastic voice.
"Don't damage it. If the dryad's skin is damaged, it won't be sold at a good price!"
Through the dense vegetation in front, Dick saw a group of people heading towards him:
Four men riding horses and wearing black armor, judging from their words, they should be mercenaries.
One of the mercenaries tied a Feicui-colored girl with a rope on his horse. Her blood-stained skin was pulled back by the reins, and her curled toes plowed ten scarlet ravines in the mud. Every time she was whipped, tiny drops of blood would be brought up.
"This is the tree spirit. The tree spirit is the subordinate of Noldor Elves. Dick, go and save her." Xiya said quickly.
It turns out that this is the tree spirit. The green figure Vigo saw in the camel portal before is this kind of creature!
Dick sighed in his heart and quickly walked to the path where several mercenaries must pass.
It wasn't until the first few mercenaries approached Dick that they discovered him. After all, they didn't have Witcher Senses as keen as Dick.
The leader trembled with fright, and the smell of sour alcohol spewed out from his mouth with gold teeth. "Damn, I'm scared. Who are you? In the wilderness."
"I am a demon hunter, going to complete a small commission."
"Mutant freak? Huh, it's really unlucky to meet you!"
Seeing that Dick didn't respond, the man dragged the tree spirit to continue walking forward.
The tree spirit was baring his white teeth at the mercenary who was beating him, making a threatening sound like a small animal.
The mercenary laughed again:
"Who are you trying to scare? Who told you to run out of that forest? Our brothers just wanted to see if we could catch elves nearby, but we didn't expect to meet a green guy like you!"
Another mercenary next to him said, "Boss, I don't know if this tree spirit looks like a normal woman. Can she..."
"What are you thinking about? These tree spirits are all green. Legend has it that their bodies are full of poisonous tree sap. Do you want to be poisoned to death by those sap?"
Hearing what the boss said, the mercenary immediately shrank back in fear, and the two mercenaries next to him burst out laughing.
Seeing that Dick still refused to give way, the boss cursed angrily, "Demon hunter, why don't you get out? Give us way quickly!"
Dick said with a smile, "It's okay to give way, but can I ask for directions? I want to know if there is a resting place nearby."
"You still want to ask for directions? Who the hell cares about you? Get out of here!"
"Since you don't answer my question..." Dick whispered to himself.
"What did you say?"
"If you don't answer my question, you may die."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Several mercenaries drew their swords.
"I belong to Free City, and I have a cooperative relationship with Church of the Eternal Fire. How dare you do anything to us on your own?"
"Originally I didn't dare, but you don't know, there are also factions among demon hunters, and I am School of the Lynx Witcher. Sometimes I can't control myself."
"Where did this madman come from? Brothers, kill him!"
After saying that, several people rushed towards Dick on horseback.
Dick's ankle suddenly made a creaking sound as the tendons tightened. His whole body shot up like a spring that was compressed to the extreme, and his leather boots left deep depressions on the grass.
He instantly jumped directly above the front mercenary. After rolling in the air, the black sword ignored the armor and pierced the mercenary's back.
Then, he sat down on the horse, leaning on the mercenary's body, and casually swung his sword with his left hand to slash at the mercenary rushing towards him from the left.
A mercenary actually wanted to fight with Dick, but with a "click", his knife broke instantly, and half of his body was broken at the same time.
The two mercenaries on the right saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape.
But the speed of the horses had already increased at this time, and they could only grit their teeth and sprint forward, praying to get past the murderous maniac in front of them and go back to find someone for help.
Dick's right hand formed a seal instantly, a powerful cone-shaped shock wave was launched nearby, and two cone-shaped spikes pierced straight into the throats of the two mercenaries.
They threw down their horses without a word, sending up a cloud of dust.
Dick turned around, patted the dead mercenary on the shoulder, and the body fell from the horse at an angle.
He jumped off the horse, holding the black sword and looking at the tree spirit girl.
The tree elf girl said nothing and looked at the powerful demon hunter nervously.
Dick swung his sword, and the constraints on the tree spirit girl's hands were released.
Dick smiled, "Beautiful green-skinned lady, can I go with you Noldor Forest?"
The tree spirit girl did not answer Dick's question. Instead, she threw the severed rope at Dick's face and took the opportunity to run back.
Dick turned his face to avoid it and shouted quickly, "I am your benefactor, please wait for me."
He looked back at Xiya.
"Explain it clearly to her and I won't get lost."
But the girl seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here, and she was short and agile. After a while, she almost threw Dick away.
Dick was chasing after her, shouting, "Wait for me, wait for me."
Just like that, not long after, the girl broke into a huge jungle.
It is no exaggeration to say that this jungle is huge. The trees at the front are so thick that it takes several people to hug them to surround them.
When the girl broke into the dense forest, she uttered another sentence. Dick did not understand it because what she said was not in common language.
Later, Dick also stepped into this jungle.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
Four poison-quenched arrows penetrated the body with the smell of rotten wood, two shot through the left and right waist, one shot through the stomach, one shot through the lungs, and the last one shot through the heart.
Dick stuck out his tongue and screamed, "Ah! I'm dead."
