Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

One second they were talking about that legendary demon, and the next second they ran into the real deal.

This is not a coincidence.

This is at least the third legendary demon that Lin Gui has encountered in the past two days...

Lin Gui's eyes were almost unfocused.

The first one is Morag Thane, also known as the Corruptor Prophet, a legendary tree demon.

Strictly speaking, it's not from the Black Magic Forest, but from the Glen Mountains.

Just as Lin Gui sensed the riot in the Black Demon Forest and was about to retreat, he ran into it.

Lin Gui then abandoned his idea of ​​retreating.

Morag Thane's power is already very close to epic level, which is beyond his capabilities.

The second one is Golog Ironjaw, also known as the Iron King, a legendary stone monster.

The Iron King is an elemental demon, unlike other demons, it has been in a deep slumber for many years.

When Lin Gui passed by, he even took a few fallen stones from beside him.

And this third one...

This is the legendary demon that Shia wants to defeat.

The Devourer of the Forest - Moragos.

Lin Gui was sweating profusely, while Xia, who was standing to the side, looked somewhat conflicted.

"Go away, we've only known each other for about 10 minutes, you don't need to save me."

The appearance of legendary demons often brings with it a demon horde.

Just after Shia uttered the name of the legendary demon, they were surrounded by demons.

Without needing to sense it, Lin Gui could hear the demon's hissing sounds.

That was the sound of demons crawling, getting closer and closer, more and more intense.

"Well, alright." Shia sighed, her tone tinged with regret.

"It was a pleasure chatting with you. Is there anything you'd like me to say before you left?"

She does have the ability to escape with Lin Gui, but that would greatly reduce her own chances of survival.

As an adventurer who lives on the edge of danger, she wouldn't do that.

Even if you bring the other person along, it only reduces your own survival rate by 3 points.

Lin Gui answered calmly.

"Go quickly, there are no last words. Alone and without family or friends, let me die here alone."

"name?"

"Lin Gui"

"A strange name... I'll remember you, Lin Gui."

After saying that, Xia took a step forward.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the dense forest.

Unless the legendary demon himself pursues her, she is very confident that she can shake off her pursuers.

Seeing the talkative sprite disappear, Lin Gui breathed a sigh of relief.

The Night Gauze Robe was his masterpiece.

Before stepping into the extraordinary realm, and before completely mastering the Night Veil.

He didn't want to reveal this trump card to a stranger.

The demonic roars grew closer and closer.

In the distance, towering trees fell one after another, creating a deafening roar.

In the chaos, he vaguely heard human shouts.

"Commander! Let's split up and run! We'll be caught sooner or later! We'll all die!"

"The deputy commander, Clark, shouted loudly."

At this moment, he was covered in blood and looked like a blood-soaked man.

Suddenly, a blood eagle swooped down from the sky and accurately knocked the priest in the center of the group out of the formation.

"ah!!"

The priest's screams had barely begun when he was devoured by the swarming demons.

As the group members' limbs were cruelly torn off, the trees in the distance began to twist and deform unnaturally.

Moragos's terrifyingly large form finally came into view.

Commander Barnard made a resolute face and took one last look at the photograph treasured in his pocket watch.

Then he stuffed a will and a pocket watch into the assassin Kemp's hand.

"Tell Evan that as his father, I'm sorry for always being so strict with him. Tell him... not to become an adventurer like his father."

Without hesitation, Kemp took the items and rushed out of the group first.

Another assassin and mage in the team followed closely behind.

He glanced sideways at Clark, the genius warrior he had personally promoted, who hadn't left.

Barnard sighed and said, "You don't need to die with me. You have a long life ahead of you."

Clark gave a wry smile and removed his tattered armor.

Only then did Barnard notice that a green plant was moving inside the other person's strong body.

"I'm sorry... I... can..."

Before Clark could finish speaking...

The thorns inside his body suddenly sprouted rapidly, with countless sharp thorns piercing outwards from the inside.

Blood spurted out and splashed onto Barnard's aged face.

Clark stared at the pincers flying through the air, his body riddled with holes.

Barnard was pale, and the greatsword he was holding slipped from his grasp and clattered to the ground.

Shadows covered his body.

He turned his head in a daze and saw a huge, decaying, twisted tree with a human face on it, giving him a strange smile.

Several familiar faces were still hanging on the tree trunk.

They were all extraordinary leaders of various golden adventurer groups.

Golden Griffin Heart, Immortal Bastion, Dawn Vanguard...

"Hehehe~ How interesting! Your heads look just like balloons... Interesting...hehehe~"

The faces on the Moraga tree trunk twisted and changed constantly, as if mocking their weakness.

"Insignificant and ignorant humans... hehehe... I never expected... you actually came out... hehehe."

Barnard's body jolted, his eyes widening in disbelief, and he muttered to himself.

"What...what did you say?"

"Hehehe~ I said~ I didn't expect~ that person really lured you all out, a total of 6 extraordinary beings, and you... hehehe... are the last one."

"This is a circle..."

With no way out, Barnard's head became entangled in tree branches.

The sound of bones shattering echoed, Barnard's pupils dilated, and his limbs fell limply to his sides.

After tearing off the other person's head, Moragus played with it happily for a while before stuffing it into his mouth.

A moment later, Barnard's pained and contorted face appeared on the tree trunk.

Moragus's momentum also increased significantly.

Moving its massive body, it came to Clark, who was lying on the ground.

Just as I was about to cut it, I suddenly looked up in confusion and gazed at an inconspicuous tree in the far distance.

It waved its branch, and a sharp, one-meter-long tree trunk shot out in that direction with a whoosh.

The trees fell with a thud, but the place was empty; there was nothing there.

"??"

Moragus tilted his head in confusion.

Its intuition told it that there was something there, but no matter how it probed, it found nothing.

"Trees can have illusions? Hehehe~ How strange~ Have humans eaten too much and damaged their brains? Hehehe~ Trees don't have brains."

On the other side, Kemp, who had escaped from the encirclement of demons, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Not far away, the outline of Odo Canyon was already faintly visible.

If he could just get a little further, he could escape this Black Demon Forest that had claimed so many lives.

He vomited a mouthful of blood and gave a bitter smile.

His two teammates were torn apart by the demon.

Using the speed of the Shadow Assassin, he barely managed to break through the encirclement.

But the demon still bit off several of his joints, leaving him a bloody mess.

His vision gradually blurred before he breathed his last.

With his last ounce of strength, he limply threw the commander's pocket watch and suicide note toward the direction of Odo Canyon.

He then fell into a deep sleep.

One day later.

He picked up the blood-stained suicide note from the ground and looked up at the precipitous Odo Canyon in the distance.

Just then, the system's voice sounded in my mind:
