“Quick, kill that madman!” The fallen swordsman shouted.
“Shut!” The swordsman, who was walking towards Han Shuo, suddenly turned his head and looked coldly at the man behind him, saying in a stiff voice, “I'll kill you too if you keep yelling nonsense.”
The person on the ground suddenly froze and used a completely unfamiliar look to look at his friend. He asked confusedly, “Fronze, what is wrong with you?”
Fronze, who drew his sword and walked towards Han Shuo, had an expression of excitement and greed on his face. His gaze only focused on Han Shuo as he opened his mouth to say happily, “I'll be rich. You better not get in my way, or I'll let you die with him. ”
The person on the ground finally understood what was going on right now. Fronze had now been drowned by his greedy heart and was not thinking about his friends now. All that remains is his desire to make him rich.
His brain throbbed in pain, Han Shuo slowly awoke from his demonic state, after experiencing a short period of obscurity, Han Shuo recalled everything that had happened now and immediately understood the urgency of the situation.
“The trees harvested from Medusa and Dagmar Fruit will all be mine soon. Go to hell, madman, madman! “Fronze's gaze locked tightly on the space ring in Han Shuo's hand as he said with a dark expression of excitement.
Fronze raised the long sword in his hand as soon as he said this and stabbed it towards the completely listless Han Shuo. It seemed like Fronze was planning to take Han Shuo's life first, before taking out a space ring to analyze its contents.
Han Shuo quickly chanted a spell, and the dagger suddenly blocked the sword in Fronze's hand as it pierced towards Han Shuo's chest.
“Actually, I'm a necromancer!” Han Shuo looked puzzled and mumbled coldly at the surprised Fronze.
The bone dagger pushed forward as Fronze retreated involuntarily, startled. The small skeleton, wearing a large blindfold over one eye, quickly approached Fronze with its bone dagger. The heroic little skeleton killed the previously wounded warrior amidst the waves of metal clangs.
Another badly wounded swordsman, who had summoned Han Shuo's death earlier, naturally met the same fate. The small skeleton also killed him when the order was given.
From the moment this group of people appeared, they used basic and despicable actions to deal with Han Shuo. They did not show any kindness through it all. Han Shuo was not an innocent child and naturally understood that an eye for an eye was the most appropriate downfall for them.
The appearance of the small skeleton saved Han Shuo from impending death, and completely reversed his original situation. The bone daggers holding the small skeleton adeptly maneuvered the three bodies and collected all the valuable items from their corpses, helping Han Shuo store them in his space ring.
Of the three, only the thunder expert mages possessed some precious items, including an expensive magic staff. There were also several hundred gold coins as well as two or three tier three and four magical beast cores. Apart from subpar quality swords and a few broken pieces of gold coins, the two swordsmen had nothing left on them.
Lying languidly on the ground, the reason Han Shuo immediately sank into the midst of a great bloodlust when he entered the demonic trance. It was impossible for him to wake up before the magical yuan in his body and energy had been depleted. This time, not only did Han Shuo completely take out his magical yuan after entering a trance, but his body also suffered various kinds of injuries. This was one of the times when he had the most severe injuries. He was even worse than Odysseus, who suffered a hard blow from the manticore.
It was a good thing that Han Shuo's tenacity was something that Odysseus could not hope to measure. Therefore, even though Han Shuo was terrifying like a ghost right now, and his body was so weak that it was unable to support him standing up, he said, Han Shuo still understood the condition of his body in his heart and knew that even without the help of anyone's medicine, he would be able to recover in no time.
Han Shuo did not reveal his identity as a necromancer all along as hiding some of his strength would be able to save his life in critical moments. If not for the fact that he still had the mental strength he could use when facing the assailant this time around, he would have difficulty escaping death. If these people knew that Han Shuo was also a necromancer before, then the conclusion of the battle would likely not reach the current level.
He chanted another spell when several zombies and skeletal warriors suddenly appeared around him. They took up arms and surrounded Han Shuo, planning to deal with any possible changes that might occur.
Upon waking up, Han Shuo immediately connected with the original demon and confirmed through them that Trunks, Aphrodite, and the others had already regrouped and were looking for him in this area.
Now that Han Shuo was very weak, he could not move and could not speak loudly, but had many dark creatures that he could utilize. After giving the order, the small skeleton created a huge disturbance and sent bushes and grass flying everywhere.
“There is movement there, let's check!” Trunks' ears are quite sensitive and immediately detect interference. After showing his direction to the others, he brought the group over to hurry to where Han Shuo was.
Having just summoned those dark creatures, Han Shuo immediately sent them back to another dimension with his mental strength again. Trunks and the others arrived in front of Han Shuo after a while, with Trunks leading the group.
“What happened to you?” Exclaimed Trunk and immediately ran towards Han Shuo.
Han Shuo looked extremely drenched as charred and charred. Many parts of his body had been burned by the huge flames, and his entire face was in a mess. It was impressive that Trunks could still recognize Han Shuo.
“I'm fine, didn't think I would meet this group of people in the middle of the road.” Han Shuo's voice was somewhat weak as he said quietly after laughing miserably.
“This is my supervision this time. I was surprised by your unconventional tactics and let down my guards for a moment. That was why this situation was developing, but this was no big deal, things like this were happening every day in the Dark Forest. I have long gotten used to everything, “Trunks heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that Han Shuo was still alive and shrugged.
Gordon and the others all asked after Han Shuo, with Aphrodite saying afterwards, “It looks like everything is as Caspian said, Trunks is a good guy. At least Trunks only wanted the battle spoils from the twin-headed dragons last time and did not attack us from the start. Nor does he say he wants to kill us or has any ideas to dirty us. I finally understood Caspian's words after comparing Trunks with these people, I thought he was joking at first. ”
Everyone remembered their meeting with Trunks after Aphrodite's words and then thought about what these people had done. They suddenly felt that Trunks was rather good.
“I'm actually not who you think I am and I keep changing. When I first arrived in the Dark Forest, I was once as simple as all of you and once trusted a friend by My side, but after continuous operations, I realized that besides Me alone, I was, I can't trust anyone in the Dark. Forestland. Danger that is everywhere means You have to harden your heart to face everything around You. Otherwise, whenever you have an emotion of kindness or weakness, it might end up in your death. ”Shoulder rods shrug and explain gallantly.
“What happened to you just now?” Nia asked Han Shuo a little anxiously after hesitating for a moment.
Everyone's gaze turned to focus on Han Shuo after Nia's question, seemingly waiting for a reasonable explanation from Han Shuo. After all, his methods just now were a little cruel. His expression was very different from usual, raising these questions from those gathered.
“The martial arts techniques I practiced caused me to sometimes drown in a frightening state of fainting when I suffered a strong sting because it was not yet fully complete. I'm so sorry to have made you worry because I was so angry earlier. I don't want to be like this either, but it's not something I can control right now. “Han Shuo was unable to explain anything to them in regards to drowning in the demon devil and could only explain it this way.
“So so. You're so scary now. If you can't control this type of martial arts technique, then you should give up while you still can. If you proceed in this way, then it might lead to unexpected consequences. ”Aphrodite looked at Han Shuo sincerely and said a few words of concern.
Han Shuo naturally did not heed his persuasion. If drowning in the demon's trance was something that could be controlled, then it wouldn't be called possession. Such a demonic trance would not happen so easily. It would only happen when a practitioner reached a certain realm, and would be triggered due to certain mental states as well as other reasons. For Han Shuo, he could only remain vigilant against this incident, but would not give up on training demonic magic just because of this.
“Alright, we should take Han away from here first and discuss other issues after regrouping with Odysseus.” Trunks first looked at Han Shuo rather strangely and then spoke to Aphrodite.
Bar suggestions are welcomed with unanimous approval. Gordon and the other two swordsmen made a simple stretcher, lifted Han Shuo, and walked towards where Odysseus was.
Along the way, Han Shuo learns from Trunks that this group of people seems to be the personal guards of the McGrady Guild. Trunks continues to chase them and kill many people until he sees that they are joined by more guards. He detected that the other party's strength was not something he could withstand on his own, and went back twice as much as he was worried about Han Shuo's condition.
The McGrady Guild did not belong to the Lancelot Empire, but rather belonged to the Brut Merchant Alliance founded by mercenaries and merchants. The reputation of the Brut Merchant Alliance was not much and they had just started an operation within the Lancelot Empire. They caused little harm to Phoebe's Boozt Merchant Guild.
The injury to Han Shuo's body was so severe that they could be considered too terrifying to see it. If such a heavy injury were to befall another person and they had trouble making a quick time on the road, they would definitely scream, but after half an hour of being shaken on the bumpy road, it would be difficult, Han Shuo lay in a stretcher with a wound just dressed and never made a sound. This made everyone greatly admire Han Shuo's incredible ability to endure pain.
Not only did that happen, Han Shuo actually had the strength to continue talking to Trunks and ask him for more information regarding the McGrady Union. It was as if the grave was injuring his body, which caused the other's scalp to wriggle numb every time they looked at him, not something he experienced at all.
When everyone together dug the cave and removed the boulders blocking the entrance, Gordon walked out with a wide, sloping grin. Gordon finally couldn't help it and looked at Han Shuo with an insatiable inquisitive gaze and asked the question everyone had in mind, “Han, what kind of monster are you?”
Laughing involuntarily, Han Shuo's tolerance of pain and suffering had already reached a terrifying level. He really didn't know how to respond to Gordon's question. He could only laugh sadly and shake his head, saying, “I'm just a little more hard-minded than you guys.”
When Odysseus came out and Nia told him everything that had happened, the greatly recovered Odysseus listened with a heartbeat and was greatly amazed by everyone's meeting.
“Nia, I think I should go back now. Grandpa I must be worried. ”Angelica realized that no one was paying attention to her here, tilted her head, and thought for a moment, then spoke to her boredom.
Nia slapped her forehead suddenly when she heard Angelica's words, “I almost forgot about you. Let's go, I'll take you to your grandfather. It was too dangerous in the Dark Forest, so don't run randomly the next time. ”
Nodding, Angelica smiled sweetly and said goodbye to everyone. When he got to Han Shuo, he waved his hand and said, “Goodbye bad guys!”
“Nia, will you be fine alone? Gordon, you go with him. ”Odiseus frowned and said to Nia.
Shaking her head, Nia smiled, “No need, captain. His grandfather was nearby. I'll scream if there's a situation. ”
He left quickly with Angelica after speaking and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
“I think My promise to You has been fulfilled, and it's time for Me to go.” Trunks looked at Han Shuo and opened his mouth to talk to him.
After spending time together, Han Shou discovers that Trunks is not as bad as the outside rumors that made him. At the very least, his actions during this struggle did not make Han Shuo feel uncomfortable. Han Shuo even subconsciously started to see Trunks as one of his friends, and was a little unfamiliar with the situation now that he heard that Trunks was about to leave.
“Be a good Samaritan to the end. Look how badly I'm hurt right now! You should stay and take care of me at least for a little. It won't be too late for you to leave once we're cleared of this dangerous territory! “Han Shuo looked at Trunks while joking.
“This is not what I promised before. To be honest, our agreement must be terminated since you have the Fruit in hand. Helping you fight the enemy after that is already an additional service. Don't be so greedy! ”
“Look at me being injured now and Odysseus being unable to move. It would be quite difficult for the rest of the group to walk safely and make a sound out of this dangerous area. I didn't think you'd be so cruel to leave us, did you? ”
Trunks was silent for a while after these words and finally opened his mouth to say, “What about this Han, promise me one thing and I'll protect you and help get you to a relatively safer area.”
“What?” Han Shuo was startled as he asked Trunks.
“I won't say what it is for now, but remember that you promised me.”
“Are you not afraid I will deny my words? Heh heh, I am not the one who follows my words! ”
“I believe you!” Trunks stared intently into Han Shuo's eyes as he carefully uttered each word.
Han Shuo suddenly fell silent and exchanged glances with Trunks. Although he was still smiling mischievously, he nodded and replied, “Alright, I promise!”
Odysseus looked at the two with a look of satisfaction, suddenly feeling at this moment that these two people were similar in many ways. They both have mysterious origins and both are powerful. Their personalities are similar in that they are calm and composed when the unexpected happens, and they show no doubt as to when they should move.
Just as Odysseus was staring at Han Shuo, Han Shuo was also staring at Odysseus. He thought for a moment and said to Odysseus, “You traveled to the Dark Forest this time for the Dagmar Fruit. I know that you didn't have high expectations at first and didn't seem to appreciate Fruit as much as I did. As a friend, I'd like to ask You Odysseus, do you really need the Dagmar Fruit? ”
“Not really. Our main goal of entering the Dark Forest is to increase our strength. Of course, if we are lucky, we will also get some valuable items. I think by now, we have fully achieved our desires. The Dagmar fruit is just an obscure goal, we don't think that we can actually obtain it. Normal people go crazy if they eat this fruit so we don't use it. We just lightly promised someone that we would come and try our luck, “Odysseus also explained seriously when he saw Han Shuo's gravity-filled face. He then looked at Han Shuo in confusion, “Han, what are you asking for this?”
Breathing in relief, Han Shuo smiled and nodded, saying, “Because I want to claim the Dagmar Fruit for myself. The martial arts techniques I practiced in puzzling the mind as I mentioned. I can improve this condition with the Dagmar Fruit, so if you don't really need it, I'd like to keep all three for myself, but I can compensate you with the Gold Coin! ”
“Then take everything for yourself, heh heh. We've received too much. You gave us the two-headed dragon and the core of Medusa. This will be enough to trade gold coins. If you need Dagmar Fruit, then take it all. There will be little meaning in all of this if you talk more about money reimbursement. “Odysseus smiled desperately and said sincerely to Han Shuo.
Aphrodite, Gordon, and the others all indicated for Han Shuo not to stand up at the ceremony and said that they did not really need the Dagmar Fruit.
“Then be well, I will not hold back then.” Han Shuo really needed the Dagmar Fruit in the demon world of “roh formed” and thus he did not make any more hypocritical protests. He accepted firmly and happily.
In the next few days, the group travels back to their original path, with the original demon Han Shuo looking for a way and under the protection of Trunks. They planned to leave the depths of the Dark Forest as soon as possible.
Han Shuo was originally so weak, that he had to rely on others carrying him. He could actually get off the trash after a few days. A pair of slender and pure arms as jade cheeks were revealed after the old skin scabbed and detached from his originally heavily burnt arms and cheeks. No trace of burns could be found.
His burnt body parts and charred haircut also returned to normal after a few days. This miracle made Odysseus and the others once again wonder, what kind of “Monster are you?”
His magic yuan also recovered quickly, Han Shuo carefully put away the Dagmar Fruit during this process. He planned to eat it when he was secretly alone after returning to the grave of death. The wounds within his body also recovered quickly with the circulation of the magical yuan. Han Shuo's wounds quickly healed with the passage of each day.
On this day, the original demon Han Shuo detected the path of a large group of people in the distance traveling with the earth dragon. He finds expert magician Leon in this group and suddenly discovers that these people are part of the McGrady Guild.
Counting the days and distance they had traveled, Han Shuo found that they were approaching the area where the forest trolls lived. He suddenly remembered those notorious robbers and criminals still waiting for instructions from their Datara. Connecting the dots to the McGrady Guild guards and the despicable actions they had taken against him, a somewhat cold and cruel smile grew involuntarily on Han Shuo's lips.
