The end of the world: mountain and sea disasters.

Chapter 105 Illusion Black Coffin
Thick fog rolled in.

Monsters and ghosts, and angry Shura appeared one after another, with different postures but full of oppression.

The sound of chanting sutras coming from nowhere shocked Yu Ke's defenses.

The three prongs of the vajra in Shura's hand came to his eyes. His scarlet blood pupils just stared at Yu Ke, and the protruding fangs on his lips trembled, as if he wanted to question what he had done and judge his sins.

In a daze, Yu Ke's mind was shocked and blue veins popped out in his forehead.

Inexplicable irritability and depression came to mind, and hallucinations filled his mind.

It was at this time that a cool vitality surged out from his right arm and spread over Yu Ke's body. Then the spiritual awakening trait began to catch this energy and play its role, regulating Yu Ke's emotions and allowing his mind to return to his original state. peaceful.

'This is an illusion, wake up quickly. This is an illusion! '

When he closed his eyes, the scriptures in his ears suddenly disappeared. When he opened his eyes again, the evil ghost Shura also turned into flying ashes and disappeared without a trace.

Yu Ke was glad that he obtained the profession of [Investigator] in advance and completed the upgrade and obtained spiritual awakening during the Pandora incident. Otherwise, he might have been trapped in this illusion and it would be difficult for him to use his abilities.

Even Yu Ke, who was surrounded by forest spirits and spiritual awakenings, almost fell into it. If it had been anyone else, they would have been broken through the psychological defense line long ago and become a walking zombie, making it difficult to advance further.

"Forward, left, stop, right, forward."

Putting aside the hallucinations in his mind, Yu Ke continued to move forward. At this time, he had given up using his senses to find his way, and instead let the forest spirit guide him.

Not only that, if you look closely, you will find that the places where the statue is covered by chains and scriptures have undergone changes to varying degrees. Not only has it lost its original charm, it is more like it has been forcibly robbed of its spirituality by some force. Replaced with something weird.

If you just want to erode the statue of the god, why bother? Who can afford to wait for hundreds of years?

But this time it was no longer those horrifying hallucinations, but dozens of skeletons hanging under the tree.

the reason is simple.

The illusion arranged by the cultists here is very likely to deceive his perception and make him go around in circles, but the will of the forest spirit can sense the direction of its body, which is something that the illusion cannot do.

The lives of the believers were used as the material for the formation, allowing their souls to linger in the formation and not be reincarnated.

Along with a piercing scream, the surrounding dense fog quickly receded, and the outline of the giant tree emerged among the dissipating fog.

It's just that the natural energy has been fighting against the evil magic, which has prevented the statue from being completely eroded.
No, that's not right.

What is it that these cultists want to hide?
"Destroy them!"

But at this time, Yu Ke had no intention of looking at the giant tree. His attention was completely attracted by the terrifying scene in front of him. His expression became more solemn, and his right hand holding the battle ax suddenly tightened.

There is no doubt that the island in the middle of the lake was set up by the tomb thieves or now the cultists. It looks calm on the surface, but in fact, the moment you step onto the island, you will be dragged into the illusion and suffer a psychological impact.

Gray mist surged out from their bodies, passed through the jagged animal bones, and spread to all parts of the island in the middle of the lake.

The reminder from the forest spirit sounded in his mind. Yu Ke stepped on the ground with his right foot and jumped into the air. The Leviathan ax struck in the air and chopped all the hanging ghosts into pieces, completely breaking the illusion's formation.

However, the statue that was supposed to be enshrined as a forest god is now covered with twisted and strange blood-colored scriptures on its limbs and torso except for its head, and its whole body is covered with twelve chains that are also engraved with curses and look like they are soaked in blood. The ends of these chains are connected to the giant tree behind, fixed with human spines and steel nails.

Just below the dozens of hanged ghosts, on the grass about three meters in front of the giant tree, a human-sized wooden statue of the forest spirit stood in the center of the island in the middle of the lake. Its posture was similar to that of the bronze statue in the temple. resemblance.

Yu Ke's previous speculation was correct. This giant tree was one of the incarnations of the forest spirit, controlling the majestic natural energy.

Under the control of the forest spirit, Yu Ke was like a puppet on strings, doing what he considered to be a somewhat funny circle in circles, until a black shadow appeared again in the mist ahead.

They were all covered in torn Xuanhuang Taoist robes full of scriptures. Their skeletons that were supposed to be drooping down had been treated in various ways, and they were posing in various twisted and intimidating postures. What they were holding in their hands was exactly what Yu Ke had seen earlier. The damaged vajra and three-pronged fork were all stuck in the bones. I don’t know how they were processed.

Yu Ke's eyes fell on the mutated limbs and torso of the statue, and another conjecture emerged in his mind. Just like the ancients used the natural energy of this place to cast instruments that could suppress disasters by offering sacrifices to forest spirits, the cultists who broke into this place I'm afraid I have similar thoughts.

It's just that they never thought about worshiping the forest spirit religiously, but planned to enslave the latter in a more sinister and evil way!
Only the head of the statue in front of them has not changed. It's not that the cultists can't do it, but they need the parts of the statue to remain normal and continue to absorb natural energy.
"Chains, cut them off!"

The forest spirit residing in the mark could no longer bear to see its idol being so desecrated.

Yu Ke also had no good impressions of the things left behind by these cultists. He picked up the Leviathan ax and walked towards the nearest chain. He wiped the ax body with his left hand, letting the frosty air adhere to it, and swung the ax to chop it down. clang!
The expected breakup did not happen.

The moment the ax blade touched the chain, Yu Ke felt a reverse force that deflected his attack. Bloody light appeared on the surface of the chain, and the incantation engraved on it twisted like an insect.

Even the frost energy failed to break through the defense and was forcibly dispersed by the gloomy energy.

After hundreds of years, the seal still has this level of defense, which is really beyond Yu Ke's expectation. However, this difficulty will not make him flinch. The best way to deal with this dark energy has already been found on the farm. Already know.

"Forest Spirit, I need to use your power!"

When facing the red-faced sprite before, Yu Ke passively responded to the enemy with the help of his mark. Now that the forest spirit is by his side, there is no need to be so troublesome.

As soon as he finished speaking, a light cyan light overflowed from the mark, spreading along Yu Ke's palm to the Leviathan Ax. He also took half a step back, hunched over and exerted energy, holding both battle axes. It fell suddenly.

The vibrant natural energy crushes the dark blood that wraps the chains.

The ax blade hit the chain, and Yu Ke's violent power was released.

Without the protection of the gloomy blood, the chain broke immediately, and the second half of the chain wrapped around the torso of the statue also collapsed. Yu Ke did not intend to miss this opportunity to pursue the victory, and waved the Leviathan ax one after another. , cut off two chains again.

But just when Yu Ke was about to attack the remaining nine chains, they swung as if they sensed danger, trying to avoid the slashes of Leviathan's axe.

At the same time, the three broken chains touched the ground, and the dark blood hidden inside them immediately seeped into the island in the middle of the lake, causing small-scale vibrations and the pond water to ripple.

Yu Ke stabilized his body and kept his offensive unabated. No matter how frequently these chains swayed, they had a limited range after all, and the perception given by the calculation analysis was best at dealing with this kind of target.

He didn't even need to take special aim. He swung his battle ax and easily predicted the trajectory of the chains, cutting off two chains again.

The continuous destruction has affected the sealing formation on the island in the middle of the lake. The forest spirit has begun to reassemble the natural energy, trying to regain control here and liberate the statue that has been bound for hundreds of years.

But how could those cultists let the forest spirit escape so easily?

Just when Yu Ke cut off the sixth chain and turned to attack the seventh chain, from the corner of his eye, he saw scarlet blood mist oozing out from everywhere on the island in the middle of the lake under his feet, and then there were dark red vines breaking through the soil. It rises like a colorful snake with its head raised in the jungle, and a strange bloody lotus blooms at the top, releasing a brown-red halo.

Obviously, the chain was cut off, and the stagnant dark energy triggered the second trap left by the cultists. The illusion could not stop the intruder Yu Ke, and the most direct attack followed.

They will never allow anyone to help the forest spirit escape!

As the gloomy blood energy spread, the natural energy that the forest spirit finally gathered was dispersed.

The island in the middle of the lake suddenly became a sinister place.

Yu Ke's ears were filled with vicious roars, and a strong premonition of crisis forced him to speed up the action at hand. He must help the forest spirit escape from its restraints before danger approached!

clang!clang!clang!
Three more chains were cut off. Yu Ke looked at the last three remaining chains and stepped forward.

But at this critical moment, the shaking on the island in the middle of the lake became more intense.

Yu Ke frowned and jumped out, slashing at the nearby chain in the air. He tried to end everything before obstacles came.

bang~
The ax fell, but before the chain could be severed, a clod of earth broke apart in front of Yu Ke. A pale, thick, long bone arm protruded from the ground of the island in the middle of the lake, slapping Yu Ke's body, trying to intercept his offensive.

Yu Ke didn't intend to give up the attack, but in the next second, cracks opened in the surrounding ground one after another, and more bone arms protruded out, slapping at the former from all directions, like a cage made of bones, trying to lock him in it.

Seeing that the way forward was blocked, in order to avoid being trapped in a deep siege, Yu Ke had to raise his feet and pedal on a bone arm to temporarily distance himself and look for other breakthroughs. His paused offensive also gave time for the trap to be fully activated.

A dozen skeletal arms broke through the soil layer, and then hung upside down around the gap in a ring shape, supporting the ground and pulling the main body connected to them out from the depths of the island in the middle of the lake.

Yu Ke thought it would be a deformed skeleton monster, just like the trap layout he had seen before. The cult that broke in here seemed to be very good at this evil secret technique.

Unexpectedly, what finally appeared under the guard of these bone arms was a giant black coffin.
A bloated mass of flesh was glued to the bottom of the coffin, and the dozen or so bony arms were connected to it using secret techniques.

When the chains that seal the forest spirits are broken by external forces, they will be activated.

Let the black coffin reappear!
