138. Chapter 138: Dark Shadow Forest
"Bang!" A loud sound of the other party patting the shoulder came from the magic communicator.
Then came Iskandar's voice, "As the Master of Iskandar, how could you be afraid of the battlefield!"
What followed was a somewhat cowardly voice from Weber, "How can I refuse if you put it like that?"
Iskandar laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Boy, believe in yourself, I have seen your potential! You are the Master recognized by me, Iskandar!"
Weber's voice became more resolute. "I, I will go with you. I won't hold you back!"
Chi Yao understood that with Weber's strength, being able to hide before the battle and ensure his own safety would have a positive effect.
"Alas, I can't persuade you." Chi Yao shook his head and ended the call.
Chi Yao sorted out his equipment and walked out of the base. Tamamonomae also transformed into a spirit and hid himself.
Soon, Chi Yao arrived at the meeting place and saw the conspicuous duo from afar, a thin young man and a big man as strong as an ox.
Iskandar saw Chi Yao from a distance and immediately waved, "Boy! Over here!"
Chi Yao walked up to the two of them, took out the Heart Guide and said, "This is a treasure for finding the target. Just follow me."
"Okay, then lead the way!" Iskandar's generous voice sounded.
Weber couldn't help but ask, "How strong is that enemy? Is he really dangerous?"
"Bang!" There was another pat on the shoulder. Iskandar looked at Weber. "What? Do you regret it now?"
"No! I'm just asking for information about the next enemy we're going to face!" Weber blushed and immediately explained himself.
Chi Yao looked at Weber and said seriously, "I suggest you hide before the war starts. Not affecting the King of Conquerors is the best contribution you can make."
Chi Yao's words were merciless, and Weber's face turned redder.
Iskandar was about to say a few words for his Master, when Chi Yao looked at Iskandar and said, "I'm serious. Caster and I almost died at each other's hands."
Iskandar was silent for a moment, but out of consideration for his master's safety, he agreed with Chi Yao's opinion.
After finishing the discussion, Chi Yao began to rely on the mind to lead everyone on their journey quickly.
Chi Yao and the others wandered around and walked into the alleys of Fuyuki City, and finally stopped at a sewer entrance.
Chi Yao looked at the tunnel in front of him, "It's right inside, be careful, the other party can control the shadows, and the shadows around us are always a threat!"
Chi Yao stretched out his hands, and two groups of light elements gathered to form a lighting group, illuminating an area in the dark and deep sewer.
Under Chi Yao's illumination, everyone successfully entered the sewer system of Fuyuki City.
There was a strange smell all around, vaguely surrounding Chi Yao, but within Chi Yao's sight, the sewers were relatively clean, and there was no pile of garbage.
"Do you smell this smell?" Chi Yao asked.
"Hmm, it smells like the rotting shadow-seeking flower." Weber couldn't help but cover his nose and said.
"Shadow-seeking flower? It's kind of smelly but not quite. The smell is really unique!" Iskandar asked curiously.
"Yes, the shadow-seeking flower, as the name suggests, is a flower that seeks shadows to grow. Generally speaking, plants grow towards the sun, but the shadow-seeking flower avoids the sun and grows and blooms in the shadow." Weber used the knowledge that he should have as a student of the Clock Tower.
"The plant called Shadow-Seeking Flower is the most common material for shadow-type magic, and it is very effective." After saying this, Weber straightened up, quite satisfied with the role he played in explanation.
"Well, thank you for your answer. If I smell this smell too much, is it toxic? Will it have any effects?" Chi Yao asked.
"The shadow-seeking flower is a plant of extremely dark nature. Smelling its scent for a long time will cause an uncomfortable rejection reaction in the human body. As for its toxicity, if the dosage is high enough, it can also become a shadow poison." Weber replied.
Chi Yao nodded, and with a thought, he cast a spell instantly. Several air currents of wind element surrounded Chi Yao and others, isolating the smell.
The two beams of light also emitted a brighter glow, illuminating the darkness in the distance of the sewer.
Weber looked at Chi Yao's spell and was very curious. He had never seen this kind of magic before!
Even in the clock tower, there was no record of it. At most, there were some shaman-type sacrificial magic that could drive natural elements, and it was far from being as easy as Chi Yao in front of him!
But due to the confidentiality of magic, Weber still suppressed his curiosity and doubts. In the magic world, asking the other party about their magic methods was almost an act of declaring war.
Chi Yao naturally noticed Weber's awkward look as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't have the time to explain. It would be best if the other party didn't ask.
Chi Yao controlled the lighting ball to move forward, and at the same time, the wind perception had spread out, paying attention to the unusual movements of the surrounding shadows at any time.
Iskandar looked at Weber, who was still immersed in thought, and slapped him again with a "bang".
"Ah!! What are you doing! What happened?!" Weber was frightened and panicked, but he relaxed when he saw Iskandar in front of him.
"Kid! Stop thinking about it. He has gone far away! We have to catch up!" Iskandar pointed at Chi Yao in front of him and said seriously.
"Okay, okay!" Weber quickly adjusted his state and followed the team carefully.
Chi Yao followed Xin Yin's instructions and wandered around in the intricate sewer system, and soon came to a vast "open space".
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chi Yao's pupils shrank instantly. What he saw before him was a scene that could be described as hell.
The entire open space was infected by the thick black gelatinous liquid, like a black forest with no end in sight!
The true face of the trees in this black forest was "humans" wrapped in black shadows, or more accurately, monsters.
These monsters were covered with dense black scales and small mouths with sharp teeth. These mouths were attached to the gaps between the scales and expanded and contracted with the monsters' breathing, as if they were opening and closing!
Moreover, these monsters were connected by the gelatinous liquid of the black shadows, which spread around like tree roots. There were also faint black lines connecting these black trees.
The entire black shadow forest was like a huge spider web, completely covering the empty space in the sewer like a stubborn disease.
"!! Bastard! Even if modern humans are not my subjects! This kind of cult sacrificial behavior is too arrogant!" Gilgamesh couldn't help but show up and said in a very angry tone.
Several golden whirlpools appeared behind Gilgamesh, with treasures extending from them, pointing at the dark forest ahead, ready to strike.
Iskandar couldn't help but frown, "There are at least nearly a thousand trees in this forest, which means nearly a thousand people were killed."
Weber couldn't help but bend over and retch, "Eww!!"
Chi Yao looked towards the center of the Black Shadow Forest. It was a huge cocoon-like object that was still beating, like the heart of the entire forest spider web
