Day of Imprisonment

To enter Node 7, you need a corresponding ticket.

But there's a problem here.

Luo Xi only has one Node 7 ticket.

Currently, it's known that only from witches can you get Node 7 tickets.

However, this matter is easily resolved. The tavern owner, Zhang Zhe, has killed many witches, so he has enough tickets for Luo Xi to use. It would be best if Zhang Zhe paid for everyone's tickets.

“The background world of Node 7 is 'The Wizard of Oz,' but we certainly can't predict based on the plot we know. The current Node 7 is likely completely distorted by those witches. After all, it's the alliance's base camp. I've sent many people to investigate, but without exception, no one has returned alive.”

Zhang Zhe felt that Luo Xi was taking a risk by going to Node 7 without any preparation.

But he knew very well.

No one could dissuade Luo Xi, and Luo Xi would never seek anyone's opinion.

To put it bluntly, Luo Xi only trusted himself.

So Zhang Zhe only offered a reminder.

Besides that, he would also go along.

The reason he had been holed up in Node 2 in the past was because he was likely to be sniped by the Witch Alliance's experts if he left Node 2.

But now it's different. In his words, since Luo Xi was going, there was no way he could continue to cower here.

“When it's time to go all-in, you have to go all-in!”

Not only him, but all the experts cultivated in the tavern would also be taken along. This time, they had to play big.

Luo Xi nodded. This time, it wasn't a stealthy infiltration because he had already sent a message to the witches, so this was a grand entrance.

Since that was the case, Zhang Zhe, who belonged to the first echelon of combat power in the Fairy Tale Town, definitely had to be taken along.

Cinderella, without asking, also had to be taken along.

The Mad Lion as well.

“You prepare.” Luo Xi instructed, and Zhang Zhe immediately went to handle it.

Soon, a carriage picked them up and arrived at the dock.

Several people were already waiting there.

Obviously, they were all experts cultivated by Zhang Zhe. There weren't many, but they were all true elites.

Except for Cinderella, who was looking around curiously because it was her first time traveling far, everyone else was silent.

Everyone knew that Node 7 was very dangerous.

It was the base camp of the Witch Alliance. The Dark Furnace Tavern had been fighting against the Witch Alliance. Except for Node 2, the Witch Alliance almost completely controlled all other node worlds.

This was a confrontation where the strength was completely unequal.

The enemy was strong and we were weak. Once they failed, it could be said that the Dark Furnace Tavern would be destroyed.

“Luo Xi, these are all my people, their strength is not weak, they can handle anything except high-level witches, just give the order for what to do.” Zhang Zhe was quite proud, after all, these were all his carefully cultivated assets.

Their strength was not weak.

For this operation, the Dark Furnace Tavern was closed.

Everyone handed the boatman their tickets in turn, and then entered the wooden door of the cabin. The next second after the wooden door closed, it was opened again, and the boatman still said the same thing.

“After a long voyage, we have passed through rapids and experienced dangers, but finally, we have safely arrived at our destination.”

Looking outside, it was indeed no longer the kingdom city of Node 2.

But a large forest.

However, the weather was good, with sunshine, green grass, fresh air, and a gentle breeze.

Luo Xi felt that just this environment was much better than the Day of Confinement.

It was conceivable that when no changes had occurred in the Fairy Tale Town at the beginning, this must have been a paradise-level existence. Just being able to come here to bask in the sun would have been worth the price of admission.

A group of people got off the boat and went ashore. In front of them, a signpost was stuck in the ground. Looking closely, there was an arrow on it, pointing in one direction, and the wooden sign read: To the Land of Oz!

And if you walked a few more steps forward, you would enter the dense forest.

The forest blocked the sunlight, and some places appeared dark. In the shadows next to the bushes in front, a figure walked out at this moment.

The other party seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.

The forest hunter in the team almost instantly drew his bow and shot an arrow, which shot through the figure's body like a streamer, and then stuck in the tree behind.

With a bang.

The feather tail at the end of the arrow was still trembling.

And that figure immediately cursed: “Very dangerous!”

Saying that, he walked over.

After seeing the appearance of this figure clearly, many people showed surprise.

Because this was actually a scarecrow.

The head was a cloth bag filled with straw, with eyes, a nose, and a mouth drawn on it, wearing a tattered blue pointed hat, and wearing faded blue clothes and old shoes. Under the shadows, the speaking scarecrow was filled with an unspeakable sense of weirdness in both tone and body movements.

And at this moment, it acted like a living person, muttering and complaining.

The eyes drawn on the cloth bag head were inanimate, but at this moment, they gave people the feeling of staring at everyone.

Then the scarecrow walked over and bowed to Luo Xi.

“Mr. Luo Xi, I have been waiting for you for a long time. The great Witch Dorothy sent me to welcome you and invite you to her castle as a guest!”

Dorothy is the protagonist of the fairy tale story 'The Wizard of Oz'. Obviously, Node 7 in the Fairy Tale Town is no longer on the normal plot line, but has turned to another fork in the road and entered an unknown plot line.

Because according to the original plot, the protagonist Dorothy, after experiencing adventures, used spells and the power of silver shoes to return to her original world.

And here, she actually became a powerful witch.

Zhang Zhe approached at this time: “There must be a problem. As far as I know, Dorothy died long ago. Even on the distorted plot line, this original protagonist should not exist anymore. It must be a trap.”

Several tavern experts had already pressed their weapons, waiting in formation.

As soon as an order was given, they would immediately attack.

The scarecrow was indeed lying.

The newest novels are first released at Liu 9 Shu Ba!

Moreover, this lie was not clever at all. If a person uses a lie that can be easily exposed to deceive people, then it is possible that the other party's real purpose is not to deceive people at all.

“Attack!” Luo Xi gave the order after thinking for a moment.

Zhang Zhe nodded, and with a wave of his hand, two forest hunters immediately shot arrows, but this time the arrows shot out were carrying flames.

The scarecrow fears flames the most.

Sure enough, the arrows immediately ignited the straw on the scarecrow's body, and in an instant, the other party was swallowed by the flames and burned to ashes.

Zhang Zhe walked over and rummaged through the ashes of the scarecrow, but to no avail. He walked over and said: “The disadvantage of exposing your identity in advance is this. It will definitely cause trouble, but you must have anticipated this possibility, so what should we do next?”

“Wait!” Luo Xi's answer was very simple, without saying anything else, there was a feeling that everything was under control.

Zhang Zhe didn't ask any more questions.

He waved his hand, and several forest hunters he brought immediately dispersed, hiding in the forest, using trees as cover, for ambush and reconnaissance.

This way, even if someone approached, they could know immediately.

In addition, there were also several melee experts around Zhang Zhe.

One of them was the 'undead' he controlled.

So no matter whether the opponent was attacking head-on or ambushing, there was no problem with this response.

The dock not far behind, the boat and the boatman were motionless, forming a static picture with the strange rainbow-colored river, like an oil painting.

The Mad Lion stood behind Luo Xi, also vigilantly observing the surroundings.

Cinderella was sitting aside, eating the fruit she brought, and then began her very obsessive magic meditation.

Just before boarding the ship, Luo Xi handed her the [Witch Tree Magic Wand].

In this way, at least in terms of equipment, Cinderella was no different from a formal witch, and even the spells she chanted would only be stronger.

As for the voice she said she heard in meditation, Luo Xi did not stop her from contacting it. On the contrary, after careful consideration, Luo Xi simply encouraged it, which was to let her improve herself.

After a while, there was movement in the forest again.

Two figures came from a distance, one after the other.

Like ghosts!

But in reality, it was still scarecrows coming, looking similar in appearance, but slightly different.

“Mr. Luo Xi, the great Swamp Witch sent me to welcome you and invite you to her home as a guest!” A scarecrow took off his hat and bowed, looking no different from a human.

Swamp Witch?

Luo Xi shook his head, and then gestured to Zhang Zhe, who immediately raised his hand.

Swish swish ~

The sound of arrows breaking through the air, the arrows carrying flames directly burned the scarecrow clean.

The other scarecrow behind seemed not to have seen it, walked up from the shadows, and said woodenly: “The great Eastern Witch sent me to welcome you, inviting you—”

“Burn it!” Luo Xi didn't even wait for the other party to finish speaking this time, and the rocket flew over, the other party's remaining words also disappearing in the burning of the flames.

Time passed by second by second.

In this place, Luo Xi and the others waited until dark. During this process, various scarecrows arrived one after another. They represented different witches. Luo Xi had never even heard of most of them, and they were not characters that existed in the original plot.

Under the night, the forest was far from the beautiful scenery of the daytime. On the contrary, the forest under the cover of darkness was like another world.

Silent, terrifying and gloomy.

The flames from several scarecrows that had not yet burned out on the ground emitted light, which seemed insignificant in front of this dark forest. In the distance, there was a darkness, which seemed to hide many terrifying existences.

Another scarecrow is here.

The appearance is not much different, and this may be the thirty-eighth scarecrow about to burn.

“Mr. Luo Xi, the great Northern Witch sent me to welcome you…”

“Lead the way!”

This time, Luo Xi did not order an attack. Not to mention Zhang Zhe and those forest hunters, even the scarecrow on the opposite side was stunned.
