Chapter 2627

Breaking through the Death Forest was a must. The White Amber Su Xiao possessed was not enough to bring thousands of Zerg into the trial area.

In Su Xiao's view, the power of death in the Death Forest was definitely not infinite. It was not a dangerous place set up by the Void Tree, but one that existed originally; otherwise, it would have been impossible to pass using the White Amber left by the Ancient Elves.

It was unwise to use Demon Beasts to consume the power of death. Su Xiao prepared to choose a Zerg with medium-to-low defense but weak other abilities. The worse the comprehensive combat power of such a Zerg, the lower the breeding cost.

Looking at it this way, it seemed there was nothing more suitable than the Worker Scorpion. Each Worker Scorpion cost 1 point of biological energy, had excellent defense, medium-to-low mobility, and extremely weak attack power.

With everything prepared, Su Xiao gathered the Demon Beasts through Zhila, leaving 150,000 Demon Beasts to defend the base, and the remaining 150,000 all rushed out, targeting the area behind the Tiger Bee faction.

Demon Flame Dragon · Barbatos roared and flew in front of Su Xiao. After crawling on the ground, its head was close to the ground, but even so, its head was still very tall.

One Demon Beast after another rushed forward, using their bodies to form steps, and Su Xiao walked along these steps onto the back of Demon Flame Dragon · Barbatos.

Amu stayed behind to guard the hive, Baha scouted the high sky, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang followed Su Xiao, being exceptionally happy on Barbatos's back, even putting on its beloved flight goggles.

After Barbatos roared, it spread its wings and flew up. The sound of the wind whistled past Su Xiao's ears. He looked down; countless Demon Beasts were running fast on the ground, gradually forming a defensive line.

The hive began to spawn troops, breeding Worker Scorpions at a rate of nearly 30,000 per minute. The tier of the Worker Scorpion was too low, and it was very simple for the Seventh-Tier hive to breed them.

One Worker Scorpion after another rushed out from the hive, and under the protection of the Demon Beasts, they gradually formed a torrent, rushing toward the direction of the Death Forest.

As soon as Su Xiao's side moved out, the Tiger Bee faction detected it, which made the Tiger Bee faction start to worry. The Zerg rarely took the initiative to attack, and now that they were almost out in full force, the Tiger Bee faction could not help but break into a cold sweat.

It was not just the Tiger Bee faction; the Dia Tribe side also became vigilant. Not long after, hundreds of thousands of indigenous people formed a defensive line at the edge of their territory.

In a stone house at the Dia Tribe's main gathering place, over a dozen Qiyuezhe were looking at the projection on the wall. Their expressions were different; some were frowning, while others were full of confusion.

"What is this madman doing? That direction is... the Death Forest?"

"He seems to be... reducing the number of Zerg."

Mu Xiao spoke, and the few people around looked at her, their gazes a bit strange. The meaning of those gazes was: it was a pity to have such strong strength, but the brain was not very easy to use.

"This trial world is almost being played into a war world by that madman. The Void Tree will definitely restrict him."

Hearing Mu Xiao's words, the people around moved their gazes away awkwardly. Clearly, their thinking was not flexible enough.

"Can only let him have it."

Naji Jia suddenly said such a sentence. He had already judged that Su Xiao was going to charge through the Death Forest.

In Naji Jia's view, if he had Zerg, he would do the same: first charge through the Death Forest, and then let the combat Zerg swarm into the trial area. If restricted by the Void Tree, then bring a certain number of combat Zerg into the trial area, replenishing one as soon as one died, maintaining the highest combat power, and finally clearing all Qiyuezhe out of the trial area.

Five kilometers near the Death Forest, the Zerg army had already arrived. The Demon Beasts successfully formed a defensive line, and beside them was the Worker Scorpion Zerg tide swarming past.

The defensive line formed by the Demon Beast troops separated the Tiger Bee faction's territory from the Worker Scorpion Zerg tide, and at this time, the base, the hive, was still continuously breeding Worker Scorpions.

When the number of Worker Scorpions reached 1.6 million, Su Xiao received a hint; this was caused by the number of Zerg about to exceed 2 million.

Rumble...

The earth was shaking. Standing on Barbatos's back, Su Xiao saw the Death Forest ahead.

Without Su Xiao needing to give an order, one Worker Scorpion after another rushed into the Death Forest.

Affected by the power of death, everything in the Death Forest was gray, and the pine trees inside had withered, distributed sparsely.

When the first Worker Scorpion rushed into the Death Forest, large cracks appeared on its carapace, and it quickly turned gray, like a cement sculpture.

With a snap, the body of this Worker Scorpion burst open, exploding into large gray dust particles. The next moment, hundreds of Worker Scorpions rushed into the Death Forest.

As if there was an invisible light film, the Worker Scorpions that rushed through this light film all exploded into gray dust particles and dissipated in the air.

Bang, bang, bang...

The dull explosions connected into one. Tens of thousands of Worker Scorpions died at the edge of the Death Forest. Just at this moment, one Worker Scorpion actually rushed out a few meters before turning into gray dust particles.

The Worker Scorpions, like a tide, rushed into the Death Forest endlessly. The Death Forest, which had left the Qiyuezhe with no solution, had now been broken through by three meters.

Weird? Thrilling? Death? As long as one was strong enough, or the number was large enough, no matter what it was, there would be a day when it was broken.

The Worker Scorpions rushed forward as if crazy. As many as died here, the base, the hive, bred that many. For a time, the area between the hive and the Death Forest almost formed a rapid 'river' composed of Worker Scorpions.

The number of casualties of the Worker Bees continued to rise: 100,000, 300,000, 500,000. After reaching 500,000, the Death Forest was broken through by 107 meters. In this area, the power of death no longer spread.

In the stone house at the main gathering place, over a dozen Qiyuezhe were watching the scene in the projection. No one spoke anymore, and the stone house was quiet to the point of suffocation.

The gray-white power of death dissipated rapidly, and the Worker Scorpions had already rushed out very far. In the earth-shaking charge, the number of Worker Scorpion deaths exceeded 800,000.

With the increase in the number of casualties, the weird feeling in the Death Forest became lighter and lighter. When the number of Worker Bee deaths reached 1.7 million.

Crack~

A crisp sound from an unknown source appeared, as if something was about to collapse. A few minutes later, with a rumble, the top of the Death Forest shattered like a mirror.

Several stone slabs appeared in mid-air, covered in patterns, with grooves in the center of each slab. Clearly, the Death Forest was a 'puzzle', a puzzle set by the Ancient Elves, waiting for the person who could solve the puzzle to appear.

The power of death dissipated completely, and the Worker Scorpions ran around in the Death Forest to avoid any remaining power of death.

A total of 2.17 million Worker Scorpions died, and the Death Forest was forcibly broken through.

【Hint: You have destroyed the 'Secret of the Ancient Elves' and become a 'Rude Person'. You will be cursed by the Ancient Elves. The curse lasts for 5 seconds.】

Gray mist appeared all over Su Xiao's body, but he didn't feel anything.

【Warning: Due to the Ancient Elf curse, your soul strength will be permanently reduced by 10 points.】

【Because the Hunter's soul strength is too high, exceeding the curse setter by 1.86 times, this curse is invalid.】

【Warning: You have been cursed by the Ancient Elf remnant soul as a 'Rude Person'. Your Charm attribute will be permanently reduced by 20 points.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao was a bit surprised. He didn't expect such a good thing; his Charm attribute wouldn't drop even if he wanted it to.

【Because the Hunter's Charm attribute is too low, this curse is invalid.】

Clearly, there was no such thing as a free lunch from the sky. Su Xiao's 0.2 Charm attribute directly ignored the Ancient Elf curse. The benefit of low Charm was highlighted at this moment; he was simply not afraid of having his Charm attribute deducted.

"Awoo!"

A resentful howl appeared, the sound like a sharp tool scratching across glass.

A translucent human figure appeared in the sky; it was the Ancient Elf remnant soul. Perhaps because of unwillingness, this howl was very sorrowful.

With a whoosh, Barbatos under Su Xiao's feet spewed dragon flame, and the magma-colored demon flame enveloped the Ancient Elf remnant soul.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked, meaning: "Barbatos, increase the firepower."

At this moment, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was hiding behind Su Xiao's legs. The thing it feared most had appeared; as long as it was related to ghosts, it was a bit afraid.

As Su Xiao's follower, Xiang Bubu's order was also the highest order for Barbatos. Sparks emerged in its dragon eyes, and the demon flame in its mouth became even more intense.

"I will definitely curse you."

After the Ancient Elf remnant soul left this sentence, it dissipated in the flames, and the Death Forest was completely broken through.
