Chapter 1180

Over the mountains, over the swamps, and along the endless wilderness.

If you are hungry, you can eat some coarse dry food, and if you are thirsty, you can drink some cold water. If you are lucky enough to meet any animals, you can also eat a barbecue or drink a bowl of steaming soup.

These church knights, who lived in the open air, endured the difficult environment that ordinary people could not bear, and finally saw the spectacular crown of the chaotic tree two months later.

"The goddess of darkness is on the! Here... There is a huge tree here? How can it grow so high? You know, in my hometown, a tree can be as long as 100 meters. When it rains, it will be thundered by lightning and burned completely." a man who looks about 30 years old subconsciously opened his mouth and exclaimed in amazement.

"Hoo! It seems that this is what the bishop mentioned. Get ready and we'll go in and find out now." the knight captain drank the last drop of water in the pot and licked his slightly dry lips.

Due to the existence of chaos tree, there is no obvious surface water source around hundreds of kilometers.

In the past, all the flowing streams, rivers, lakes, mountain springs and so on were sucked clean, and even slight desertification occurred in the marginal areas.

Many people in this team haven't drunk water properly for several days. Both their mouth and throat seem to smoke.

However, when you see the chaotic tree, the surrounding ecological environment immediately turned 180 degrees. Not only can you see all kinds of strange animals and plants everywhere, but also the huge leaves and roots have small puddles of water. Some puddles are more than kilometers in diameter, which is equivalent to a small pool or lake.

No hesitation!

Thirsty and hungry church knights rushed directly under the chaotic tree with complex roots as fast as possible, and couldn't wait to drink the slightly sweet water. Others took out their bows and crossbows and shot those small animals that looked fat.

Just an hour and a half later, they picked up a lot of dead tree branches full of oil and lit a bonfire next to a pool, planning to enjoy a delicious and rich wild meal.

In particular, the translucent fish in the pool were so delicious that they almost swallowed their tongues together. They didn't realize that the danger had come quietly.

……

"Hey! Roma! Did you hear any strange noise!" a knight who was gnawing meat and bones stopped his hand and showed a wary look in his glasses.

But unfortunately, another knight named Roma didn't take it seriously. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "don't be nervous! Where will there be any movement? We haven't searched around just now. We don't even have threatening beasts. Feel free to eat your barbecue."

"Well, maybe I'm a little nervous."

The former shrugged his shoulders, opened his mouth and tore off a piece of golden and bloody fresh pork chop.

They didn't know at all. Just as they were talking, several dark figures holding primitive weapons had unconsciously lurked on the branches, staring at their every move with green eyes.

Needless to say, these distorted and strange shapes have begun to have preliminary wisdom. It is those special species that began to evolve uncontrollably under the influence of the chaotic tree.

To be exact, these people here today are all monsters who like to eat the brain of intelligent life.

It is not clear whether it needs some substance contained in the brain of intelligent life, or just to meet the soft taste.

In short, even within the influence range of the strange chaotic tree, they are truly heterogeneous and are feared, rejected and hated by other species.

Hunting is the instinct of carnivores, a killing instinct engraved in genes.

As long as a species has not permanently removed meat from its diet, this instinct will never disappear no matter how technology and society develop and progress.

It will only be temporarily hidden under the constraints of law and morality. Once the existing order collapses or is stimulated by the outside world, the instinct of killing and hunting will wake up immediately and make many crazy acts that are unacceptable to ordinary people living in a peaceful environment.

Obviously, these monsters who like to eat the brains of intelligent creatures definitely eat 100% meat.

Although it is the first time they have met the largest number of indigenous people on the planet, they are not afraid at all.

After simply confirming the number of prey, the leader raised his polished and sharpened wooden spear and waved it to other companions around him.

The latter understood and jumped around on the branches with the help of developed upper limbs. After a while, there was at least one monster on each Knight's head.

Accustomed to plane warfare, they undoubtedly forget that their position is the root of a huge tree, completely ignoring the need to confirm whether it is safe above their heads.

Next second

All the monsters jumped from high and launched a sudden attack on their prey.

Although the wooden spear was very simple and could not even pierce the steel breastplate, too many knights were rushed by these powerful monsters before they had time to respond, and then they were hit on their heads by stones. They broke their heads and lost their ability to fight back.

The monsters were also impolite. They directly opened the wound with hook like fingers, greedily sucking the red and white brains.

This primitive, barbaric and cruel scene directly frightened the knight captain. He suddenly pulled out his sword and cut off the head of the monster around him. He roared angrily: "go to death! Monster! Come on! All who can take up arms! If you don't want to die!"

"Sword! Give me the sword!"

"Shield! I need a shield!"

"Damn it! I need cover!"

……

Several lucky people who survived the sudden attack immediately dropped their food and quickly formed a battle formation back to back to resist the dominant monsters through cooperation.

Fortunately, these brain eating monsters didn't fight hard. After besieging for some time, they found that they couldn't help each other. They soon took the body, jumped on the branches in twos and threes, and disappeared in the depths of dense branches and leaves.

Looking at the residual blood on the ground around, the knight captain immediately shivered and said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Great Dark Goddess! What kind of place did you guide us to? What are those monsters? Demons?"

Unfortunately, the goddess did not give him a clear answer, not even a response.
