"You mean, Merlin didn't die. He jumped into Mount Doom on his own initiative... And fell on the first night?"

The last sentence from Amanda's mouth was obviously beyond Tang Qi's expectation.

He guessed Merlin's final outcome, but he could not escape death or degeneration, but he didn't expect that Merlin's way of degeneration would be so strange.

Yes, it's strange.

According to Amanda's description, Merlin is the most powerful wizard among their uncontaminated creatures. He is proficient in deformation and prophecy. He can even break through the forest of ignorance and the dark plain. He should be aware of the powerful existence of crazy fairies, but he can't even pass the level of the living corpses.

This is enough to prove Merlin's strength from the side. Although the world rules are different, if converted, Merlin is in the mysterious side, at least equivalent to a "legendary" wizard.

Such a powerful existence will choose to end itself and take the initiative to degenerate after there is no hope?

Almost immediately, some new conjectures sprang up in Tang Qi's mind. There was no evidence, but his intuition was always inexplicable and accurate.

But soon, he shook his head.

These thoughts are temporarily suppressed. To verify the conjecture, the premise is to see Merlin first, even after the fall of "Merlin".

"The problem now is how to get through the dark plain?"

If the opponent is similar to the "ignorant corpse", Tang Qi will choose to go all the way.

But obviously, the monster called "manifestation of desire" is different from all the monsters he has encountered in the past.

But avoiding is not the way.

Instead of caring about Merlin, Tang Qi looked at Amanda and asked seriously, "tell me what you know about all the monsters in the dark plain, including the deer eater."

Amanda did have an extraordinary trust in Tangqi at this time.

Without any hesitation, she opened her mouth and spit out all the "strange" information she knew. It was not as much as expected. It was a little strange. Amanda even knew a name.

Of course, at least Tangqi had a certain understanding of the cold and dead plain.

The black embers, hot wind and dust are finally silent again. The burned "ignorance forest" is restoring its original appearance at a slow speed.

The "foreign body" caused by Tang Qi is being swallowed up by nothingness.

Only in his perception, although the forest was recovering, the corpses did not appear.

"It seems that it will take him some time to recover the living body."

Because of the scenery in his eyes, an irrelevant thought passed by. Tang Qi quickly returned to the plain outside the forest.

Amanda, still in his arms.

The two looked at each other, and Tang Qi said calmly, "are you ready?"

There was a worried look in the girl's eyes, but she was also very different from the girl who had not experienced many hardships in the real world, especially when and what to do.

Amanda nodded and closed her eyes slowly under Tang Qi's gaze.

At this time, a dead branch under Tang Qi's feet was crushed, and his figure leaped and twinkled, and appeared at the edge of the ignorant forest again.

At the moment of landing, Tang Qimu saw the magic of the furnace surging out.

trial!

The hot, majestic projection of the sun appeared in his pupils.

For the first time, he launched this skill not for attack, but for defense.

"According to Merlin, as long as I don't officially step into the dark plain, but stand at the junction of the ignorant forest and the plain, even in the face of the embodiment of strange desire, there is a certain chance that I won't be confused... Plus the trial, it may be enough for me to complete the preliminary detection."

"As for the risks taken, the mysterious side, there has never been a zero risk event."

In addition to the sun's projection, what Tang Qi's eyes reflected was a silent, gray, lifeless plain filled with thin fog and indescribable light.

Not long ago, the "deer of food" that frightened Amanda disappeared.

Tang Qi is not surprised. There are a lot of "desire manifestations" in the plain. They don't always stay in one place, but wander around.

He talked with Amanda for a long time, and it was normal for the deer to leave.

But at this time, Tang Qi did not remove the sign of "trial".

But continue to maintain, waiting for the next "embodiment" to appear. According to Merlin's information, it won't be long.

Any breath of life is an irresistible temptation for the embodiment of desire.

As long as one is nearby, it will come.

According to the rules in the dark plain, one animal chooses its prey, and the rest will stop and wait.

Time began to pass little by little, just when Tang Qi clearly felt the loss of magic in his body.

Suddenly, Tang Qi's eyes suddenly widened, and the flame became more and more turbulent.

Ahead, there was still the dead old tree, a more strange figure than the "deer of food", stirring the light from the depths of the thin fog, flying in the direction of Tangqi and Amanda.

Flying weird?

Tang Qi's mind just came up with the idea.

The next second, he saw the fog separate, a creature with a shape similar to a bat, but all kinds of strange and terrible details.

Its body is almost indistinguishable from "human beings". It has limbs, head and trunk, but the lower part of its arms is connected with its ribs. A layer of membrane wings are unfolded, and the broken gaps on its wings vaguely form a screaming distorted face.

Its thighs are bright red, there is no skin cover, there are no teeth, and its mouth in the shape of "laughter" is densely arranged.

In front of his chest, there were two lumps of rotten meat, which were spilling unknown juice into the air.

Its head is also covered with a "Mask", like a boastful, twisted clown laughing with a sharp surprise.

When it broke the fog and fell on the dead tree.

Behind it, a wriggling "tail" with black hair curled up. At the tip, a layer of skin film rolled up, with a black and red eye inside.

A new "look at each other" is about to happen.

But at this moment, Tang Qi suddenly smiled, his eyes suddenly closed, his body jumped back, and returned to the ignorance like facing the "deer of food" before.

After landing, Amanda felt the movement and reopened her eyes.

"It's a laughing bat!"

Seeing the doubt in Amanda's eyes, Tangqi immediately answered.

He had learned from the girl that part of the information of "manifestation of desire" haunted in the plain. Just at that scene, after a slight comparison, he found out the name of the monster that was more strange than the "deer of food".

In the catalogue provided by Merlin, the laughing bat is indeed more terrible than the eating deer.

Yes, although there are countless "desires" wandering in the plain.

But these monsters also distinguish the strong from the weak, but they are not so strict relative to the mysterious side.

Merlin gave them the basis to distinguish the degree of danger. In addition to his own perception, he also observed some phenomena when he passed through the plain. For example, when the laughing bat flew by, the deer's head, which had been held up, would hang down.

Knowing this, Tangqi soon had a simple and rough plan.

He doesn't want to use Merlin's information to cross the plain. What he really wants to rely on is the information fragments captured by his "special ability".

This means that he needs to look straight at the monster long enough.

A second or two, or even longer.

This time is enough for the monsters to "look at each other" with Tang Qi. At that time, he will capture information fragments. I'm afraid the monsters will launch an attack directly.

Although Tang Qi does not think that these desires are embodied and can crush the "trial" to solve himself, it should be noted that the projection of the master of the furnace needs to be crushed. Although it has been diluted hundreds of millions of times, the thigh is the thigh.

However, in order not to overturn, Tang Qi decided to pick up a soft persimmon and pinch it.

Take yourself as bait and wait for the most vulnerable desire to appear in the "Merlin catalogue".

Tang Qi continued to feed Amanda with the secret medicine and said calmly, "wait another half an hour!"

Half an hour later, Tangqi blinked again.

After staying at the junction for about ten seconds, his eyes closed again and returned to the forest before looking at the new "embodiment".

As soon as Amanda opened her eyes, she heard Tang Qi say:

"This time, it's the fish of rotten love."

Another half an hour, a figure flashed back to the forest.

Amanda, who insisted on taking risks with Tang Qi, opened her eyes and saw a bitter smile on the corner of Tang Qi's mouth and said, "well, luck is still not very good. This time it's a runaway dolphin."

……

In the dead forest, Tangqi set out again.

At this time, there was little furnace magic left in his perception.

You can also conduct another "bait" operation. After that, whether you succeed or not, you must return to the forest and meditate and recover.

He came here to find another way to get rid of his dependence on the "furnace Wizard".

Before that, he was very dependent on the power of the furnace wizard.

In the blink of an eye, Tangqi held Amanda and stood at the junction of the forest of ignorance and the dark plain again. The appearance of the snake without eyes, which had been lured before, had indeed disappeared. After many bait operations, he has found out the "tolerance limit" of these concrete objects.

Extremely smooth, "trial" cast.

Just when Tang Qi thought he needed to wait more than ten seconds.

A wonderful omen appeared. Tang Qi suddenly turned his head and looked in the other direction.

In the thin fog, a shadow is quietly coming out of the fog.

This time, it did not select the dead tree area.

It seems to be a more cunning monster. It seems to have observed Tang Qi and want to make a "sneak attack" from the side.

But it doesn't seem to know that its body is ridiculously large compared with other manifestations.

When the huge body broke the fog silently and reflected into Tang Qi's eyes.

For the first time, Tangqi didn't retreat.

Although the alarm bells roared in my mind.

But at this moment, Tang Qi suddenly turned around and faced the monster without closing his eyes. At the same time, he returned to the forest of ignorance.

Instead, let the furnace magic in your eyes burn wildly, project unprecedented reality, and your eyes are completely condensed. You don't care at all. This is an extremely dangerous and crazy "look at each other".
