The road leading to Byronvis College requires passing through the Forbidden Forest, which is not an easy one.

When Fang Zheng and Irene left the cathedral again, the dusk had turned into night without them noticing, and the entire Yharnam was shrouded in silent darkness. The forbidden forest was even darker, and except for the light from the torches along the road, it was almost pitch black and nothing could be seen.

And in the darkness, there are also hidden dangers.

"hiss!!"

A group of coiled snakes hissed, jumped out from the bushes, stretched out their heads and bit Fang Zheng, but their bodies were still in mid-air when they were split in half by a sword shadow. The broken snake corpses scattered all over the ground, still twisting their bodies, looking as disgusting as large earthworms.

"Why did you come to Yharnam?"

Seeing Fang Zheng carrying the greatsword and moving forward without stopping, Irene, who was following behind him, asked.

"Since you said you weren't here for blood therapy, then why did you come to Yharnam? And how did you get involved in this nightmare?"

"If I say I'm just unlucky, would you believe me?"

Fang Zheng turned his head, glanced at Irene, and shrugged, while Irene snorted.

"If that's the case, then your luck is really bad... So, who are you? You can't be an ordinary traveler. I can see that you have very good skills. I have never seen such skills even among hunters. And your fighting style is also very strange..."

As she spoke, Irene carefully looked at Fang Zheng's weapons. At this moment, Fang Zheng was carrying a large sword in his right hand, and his other short sword was hanging on his left waist. It was not that she had never seen a warrior using two swords before. Maria, the most famous warrior in the Healing Church, was a good warrior. Irene herself also knew how to fight with two short swords.

But Fang Zheng's fighting style was different from theirs. His swordsmanship gave Irene a natural and indescribable aura. Every time he swung his sword, Irene felt as if she had been brought into an age so long ago that it was almost impossible to describe it in words. A heavy feeling rushed towards her, almost suffocating her.

In the face of such momentum, ordinary people simply could not remain calm. Irene suspected that most people would lose their fighting spirit the moment this stranger held the sword.

Of course, this is for ordinary people, as for the others...

“Here!!”

A villager holding a torch and an axe shouted and rushed towards Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng did not hesitate to chop the villager with his sword. But this time, the villager did not fall down. On the contrary, his body shook slightly. Then Fang Zheng saw the villager's head suddenly opened, and then several snakes rushed out of the villager's head that opened like petals, opened their mouths wide and bit Fang Zheng.

I have to admit that this change was indeed unexpected, but Fang Zheng was obviously used to this kind of sudden attack. Facing the bites of the group of venomous snakes, he dodged with a side jump. At the same time, Fang Zheng raised the short sword in his left hand, and the sword light appeared in the air, forming a barrier, and cut off the heads of all the venomous snakes that pounced on him. Then Fang Zheng stabbed out with his right hand, directly piercing the opponent's chest.

The villager screamed and fell to the ground. At the same time, the snake heads that had originally jumped out were quickly retracted.

"I've seen a lot of monsters, but I have to say, the mutations of these guys are really disgusting."

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Fang Zheng couldn't help but comment. To be fair, among the worlds Fang Zheng traveled through, the dark and dark worlds were at the top in terms of bloodiness and cruelty, but when it came to disgusting people, this world was truly unique.

"You've seen a lot of monsters?"

After seeing Fang Zheng's strength, Ailin basically just followed him and shouted 666. Perhaps because she was much more relaxed, she even started to feel like gossiping.

After all, the hunters that Irene had seen before were either for blood therapy or for some other purpose... But this stranger was different. Irene felt that his attitude was more like a tourist than those hunters. This made Irene more curious about this stranger. Who was he? Where did he come from? What experiences did he have?

Irene had been in Yharnam for so long that she almost forgot about the world outside of Yharnam. It was not until Fang Zheng's arrival that Irene remembered that this world was not just about Yharnam.

"That's about right. There are all kinds of them. Some are very powerful, some are very scary, and some are very disgusting... But relatively speaking, this place is more disgusting."

Fang Zheng was not lying. Speaking of disgusting things, the protostomes in the dark world were disgusting enough. But strictly speaking, protostomes were just a little disgusting in appearance, just like flies or maggots. Of course, you would find them disgusting and uncomfortable. This was a human instinctive reaction.

But the monsters in this world are different. They are not just weird-looking and unacceptable. On the contrary, they are mutations based on human’s familiar cognition. This feeling is more difficult to accept than simply mutated creatures.

For example...

“Buzz!!”

Just as Fang Zheng and Irene turned the corner, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the bushes beside them, making a buzzing sound like a fly and pounced towards Fang Zheng. It looked like a large humanoid fly with a skinny body and long limbs.

But the most unacceptable thing is its head!

On the head of this "man", the part above his mouth is completely occupied by eyeballs. And these eyeballs are not of ordinary size, on the contrary, they are as big as water balloons. These countless eyeballs are squeezed together, and from a distance they look like the compound eyes of a fly!

Not only that, the mouth of this "person" is also like the mouthparts of a mosquito, with a sharp shape. Fang Zheng can almost imagine how he attacks the enemy... Well, this is not good for the appetite.

Although this monster looked disgusting, it had no defense. When it pounced out, Fang Zheng had already chopped it away with a sword, and then went up and chopped off its head directly.

"It's disgusting. If I watch this thing too much, I'm going to have nightmares."

"We are in a nightmare now, outsider."

Irene, who was following behind Fang Zheng, complained slowly, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, then I can only say that this is truly a nightmare... huh? Did you hear that?"

At this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly heard a faint "crackling" sound not far away, as if some kind of beast was gnawing at something. Upon hearing this sound, Fang Zheng and Irene looked at each other, then drew their weapons and walked cautiously towards the place where the sound came from.

When Fang Zheng and Irene walked around the woods, a mill appeared in front of them. In the small yard in front of the mill, a man was kneeling on the ground with his head down, seemingly swallowing something.

Hmm...why does this scene look so familiar?

If it wasn't impossible, Fang Zheng really wanted to switch out and see if he had been transformed into the script of Resident Evil... Thinking back then, that zombie with a charming smile was the symbol of Resident Evil...

At this moment, the man seemed to have heard the noise behind him. He turned around, looked at Fang Zheng and Irene, and then stood up quickly.

"Oh... sorry, I didn't expect anyone to be here..."

"I didn't expect that either."

Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man in front of him. The man looked unkempt. Apart from a coat, his entire body was wrapped in bandages.

"I, I'm a survivor..."

Facing Fang Zheng's scrutinizing gaze, the man seemed a little nervous.

"In fact, I'm looking for a safe shelter. I wonder if you can help me. I don't want to stay in this terrible place any longer... If I stay here any longer, I don't think I will live long..."

"You are right."

However, as soon as the man finished speaking, Fang Zheng raised the weapon in his hand and pointed it at him.

"You really won't live much longer!"

Before he finished speaking, Fang Zheng suddenly rushed forward like a whirlwind, and the sword in his hand cut through the air and slashed straight at the man's neck. At the same time, Irene rolled behind the man like a ghost, and the double blades in her hands were unsheathed in an instant, stabbing the man's back.

Facing the sudden attack from Fang Zheng and Irene, the man was obviously a little panicked. He hastily raised his hand to block Fang Zheng's sword. With a dull sound, Fang Zheng's sword clenched in his right hand slashed deeply into the man's raised right arm, leaving a deep scar on it that could be seen to the bone.

"roar--!!"

At the same time, the man opened his mouth and let out a roar like thunder. His body expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a black giant beast surrounded by lightning!
