Chapter 502: Island of Devil’s Maw (8)
Leideson’s answer was quite direct. He raised his arm to point. “Go down this way, pass through the ‘mocking forest’ and the ‘haunted swamp’ and you’ll see the shrine.” After saying that, he turned and left, swiftly disappearing from the players’ sight. The players did not dawdle and started to move down the direction Leideson pointed. As they moved, Atobe complained, “So after all that, the person with the axe has landed with the responsibility of clearing open the path...?”
“It matches the camp and faith that you have chosen quite well.” Feng Bujue chided.
“Eat me beep!” Facing Brother Jue’s snide words, Atobe still felt this reply was the most appropriate.
“Ha ha...” Feng bujue brushed it off with a smile. “But... in a way, being chaotic evil has its benefits. For example, I can’t repeat the words that you just directed at me.”
“Eh? That’s true.” Pegasus chimed in. Obviously, he just gave it a try but similar to Brother Jue, his intention wouldn’t be translated into words.
“Hmm... Interesting...” Ambitionist concurred. “I also can’t say those words... looks like only those who choose to believe in Idiente can say it.”
“So what?” Atobe grumbled, “It has no actual benefit.”
“Whether it has benefit or not, I have no clue.” Uncle Worthless added, “But from this, we can confirm that... the influence from our choice of faith on this scenario is far from over.”
“Yes.” Ambitionist agreed. “With that as a basis... in the following progress, we might run into situation where only members of certain faith could resolve.”
“Yes.” Feng Bujue nodded and warned. “There’s one more thing to be careful of... Different faith, other can help to deal with different problem, they might bring different complications.”
While they conversed, they had walked out from the jungle. Then, a high cliff appeared to greet them. Cutting through the cliff was a valley. The red moon showered down its glow to reveal a gloomy fa?ade of some trees and foliage.
“Ah... Just looking at it from afar, I still my hairs standing on end.” Atobe stood at the forefront with the axe and said weakly.
As he finished, suddenly a voice appeared behind him, “Boo!”
“Ah!” Pegasus was numb from the shock. He screamed and turned to assume the attack pose. “Who is it! If you dare, come out and face me!”
“ha ha ha... Turn fear into anger, is it? Such trash.” Following this humiliating word, the mocking tree appeared and there was more than one of them....
At that moment, all the trees around the players started to mutate. Every tree trunk had a human face appear on them, the lines on the tree trunk was moving like liquid as they gathered around their ‘faces’ to form features like hair and beard.
“Quick, we have a group of human among us.”
“I bet we can cook them like celery.”
“yes, 3rd rate explorer, but first rate dish, ha ha ha ha...”
“Hey, that sissy over there. Have you considered sex change operation?”
“That blind man in the pyjama, better go find a walking stick before you trip.”
“The kid that calls himself a hero, don’t worry, I won’t attack your personality... because you do not have one! Ha ha ha...”
“Four eyes toad! Four eyes toad!...”
Well, they certainly lived up to their names. After the mocking trees showed up, they started to mock and read the group to filth. They even came up with some new materials according to the players’ appearance... and their reads almost never overlap.
“Hey! You, yes, you!” One of the trees called after Feng Bujue. “Do you think you are that great? Ah~ I can see from your eyes that you think greatly of yourself. Let me tell you though how look in my eyes... you dress like a mad parrot, so that tells me you have bad teste. I believe you are a country bumpkin that likes to eat sausage with mashed garlic because when you speak, the air that comes out of your mouth smells like beans that are trying to escape the digestive system of a cow.”
Listening to the mocking words, Feng Bujue showed no trace of anger. If anything, he was nodding along with his lips moving like he was trying to memorize these words, so he could use them in the future...
