The bonfire was burning, occasionally exploding with crackling sounds.

Maureen poured out the hot soup from the pot and drank it slowly, mouthful by mouthful, with a silver spoon, without looking anxious.

Suddenly, Morin stopped moving.

He looked at the tiny wisp of black gas emanating from the ground in front of him and suddenly smiled slightly.

"Did it appear?"

Maureen muttered to herself.

He slowly finished drinking the hot soup, and when the black gas was about to emerge and take shape, he glanced over.

Whoosh! Two bright flames shot out from his eyes, like laser beams, and landed directly on the black gas, causing the black gas to tremble, and then it dissipated and disappeared completely.

Morin exhaled lightly, stood up and walked around.

His movements were slow and unhurried, as if he had no idea what was happening behind him.

Behind him, wisps of black air gathered together, constantly changing, as if they were about to form other shapes.

"Damn it, look, look!"

The wizards' exclamations came.

"They, they are dead!" They gathered around the bodies of some wizards, looking at the corpses on the ground, with unspeakable fear and terror in their eyes.

There were numerous corpses lying on the ground. They were all wizards and sorcerers. The causes of death of these wizards and sorcerers were extremely strange. Their bodies were covered with dense tooth marks, as if they had been eaten alive by something.

The wizards are all knowledgeable. With their judgment and cognition, they can easily determine that the existence that eats these wizards and warlocks is not some other existence, but a human.

It's a human.

"Damn it." A wizard turned pale and cursed softly.

"What on earth is this?"

There were also warlocks who cursed quietly on the side.

"No need to guess." Morin smiled slightly at this time and said, "They are already here."

Are they coming?

Everyone was stunned.

They suddenly discovered that, at some point, black gas had been continuously emerging from the ground. Although the black gas was still very subtle at the beginning, gradually, all the black gas became thicker, and after a series of changes, it formed unique shapes.

They were shirtless men with firm muscles, clear outlines and a strong sense of strength, while their lower bodies were covered with black mist, which gave them an indescribable weird feeling.

The men had painful expressions on their faces, and their waving arms created clouds of smoke as they struggled non-stop, as if they were trying to struggle out of some kind of pain.

"this……"

Many wizards were stunned when they saw this scene.

One of the wizards couldn't bear it any longer. He waved his hand and shot out countless ice spikes to attack those strange things.

But it didn't work at all.

Countless ice spikes passed through the bodies of those strange creatures and fell into the air.

The figures who were struggling and wailing suddenly stopped.

They turned around and looked at the many wizards in front of them.

All the figures were watching quietly.

No words.

No movement.

There is no sound.

Although those things seemed to be virtual images, the wizards felt numb and had an indescribable sense of fear when they were stared at like that.

"People...living people..."

"Why can you live, why are you still alive, why!!"

"Come and die with us!"

"We will also let you experience this kind of painful torture day and night!!"

At this time, all the dark shadows roared.

They stared at Morin and the others, and at the many wizards in front of them, with deep resentment in their eyes.

Suddenly, the dark shadows roared, tattered armor appeared on their bodies, and rusty and tattered cross swords were raised in their hands. Then, they charged towards the wizards and launched a fierce attack.

The wizards did not expect the dark shadows to attack suddenly, and they became panicked and at a loss. In an instant, some wizards were injured and attacked.

"ah!"

Several wizards screamed, their bodies flew up heavily, exploded in the air, and turned into balls of thick black gas that quickly dissipated.

Originally, the wizards wanted to resist, but they found that the attacks of these black shadows contained an indescribable unique power, like a worm on the tarsal bone, which made them feel painful and difficult to resist. Even the wizard energy in their bodies was blocked and hindered.

Moreover, those black shadows seemed to be immortal. Although the wizards dispersed them, they only dispersed them temporarily. After a while, those black shadows would gather again and attack them again.

"Let's run away, these shadows are too strange, we are no match for them at all." Some wizards were shouting, their voices were even trembling slightly, and they sounded extremely scared.

The other wizards felt bitter.

Escape, yes, they wanted to escape, but in the current situation, there was wilderness all around, where should they escape to?

"Look, what is that?"

A wizard pointed forward and shouted as if he had discovered something.

Morin narrowed his eyes slightly and found that the things in front of him were not something else, but a spreading black forest.

Looking from a distance, the Black Forest has an indescribable chilliness.

In fact, Morin already knew that those black shadows would appear before. After all, he had encountered them before, so he had some understanding of Naxi things. However, Morin did not expect that there would be so many black shadows, and they could also transform into armor and cross swords to attack the wizards.

Even he felt very tired and even a little overwhelmed when facing so many dark shadows.

"No matter what, let's get rid of these strange shadows first." Morin's mind moved.

His body shook, and with flame energy particles in his body, he rushed straight forward.

There were many wizards who had the same idea. At this time, they all gathered together and kept running towards the one in front.

The wizard who stayed behind ran too slowly and was killed and swallowed by the protagonist's shadows.

Their shouts were heard, but they were of no use. They were the only sounds they left in the world.

After Morin and other wizards ran into the forest, all the dark shadows disappeared completely.

It was as if they had never appeared, and as if everything was an illusion from the beginning to the end.

The trees in the Black Forest are very tall, and their branches stretch towards the sky, leaving behind large areas of darkness.

Everything was dark.

Black trees, black shadows, black forest.

Balls of light rose up one after another, lighting up the road ahead and making it easier for the wizards to move forward.

Following Maureen's suggestion, the wizards had already planted witchcraft marks on each other, so they could clearly sense other wizards around them. Coupled with all the firelight, although the wizards were still afraid, they gradually calmed down.

"Okay, let's not go forward. Let's sit down and have a good rest."

A wizard spoke up front.

The wizards had no objection. They sat together in the Black Forest, took out the food hidden in their void pockets, and began to rest and eat.

Under the flashing witchcraft ball, the wizards' faces flickered, and from a distance, they looked like ghosts.

"This Black Forest is obviously not ordinary. We must gather together and never disperse. Do not leave the sight of other wizards."

"If a wizard is not able to go out, three wizards must go out together as a group and take turns going out. Before that, the other wizards must cast light magic and blessing magic on those wizards... We will wait for a certain period of time. If it exceeds that time, all of us will come together to look for them."

"In addition, we will make a reasonable distribution of all our people and divide all the wizards into three groups with roughly equal combat power. The first group will be responsible for concentrating on vigilance on the periphery, while the other two groups will relax and recover in the team, and they will take turns after a period of time..."

Morin thought about it, stood up and expressed some of his ideas.

There was no way. This place was too weird. Even Morin felt a strong sense of discomfort and even a little scared. So, he made some suggestions at this time.

The other wizards listened and nodded.

They all have basic judgment abilities and can naturally judge easily that what Morin said is actually the best advice at the moment.

However, the other wizards looked at Morin with strange eyes at this time.

After all, there are not many people who can have such thoughts at this time.

"Okay, let's divide it." A wizard said hurriedly, looking a little impatient. It can be seen that he is really scared.

At this moment, suddenly, the entire Black Forest shook violently.

Boom, rumble.

Could something happen in the Black Forest so quickly?

The wizards were shocked and they subconsciously united and became alert.

Large tracts of black forest collapsed, and several shining balls of light rose up and appeared in the air.

The aura of those light balls was extremely powerful, as if they were suns.

The true meaning of level four!

When the wizards saw those balls of light, this thought subconsciously came to their minds.

Those balls of light were actually powerful fourth-level true meanings.

The wizards hurried forward and bowed to those fourth-level true meanings.

"I didn't expect you to come to the Black Forest. You really don't know how to live or die." A fourth-level True Meaning Wizard spoke up. He was a man, but his facial features were very gentle. He looked particularly gentle. "Luckily, we sensed a strong wizard's aura, so we followed it and came here. Otherwise, it's hard to say what would happen to you."

"Thank you, the honorable True Meaning Being."

The wizards shuddered and expressed their gratitude to the fourth-level true meanings again.

"Okay, let's stop talking. Let's go and leave here with us." Another female level 4 True Meaning spoke. She had pointed ears and a half-moon-shaped mark on her forehead. It was obvious that she was a sorcerer.

Led by the fourth-level true meanings that appeared, the wizards slowly moved forward and walked towards the outside of the Black Forest.

Although we encountered some dangers along the way, with the fourth-level true meaning, everything was no problem.

Maureen and the others came outside and found a completely different scene.

The sky was dim, as if it was an iron curtain with no light ever shining down, while the ground was endless and desolate.

Ahead, there is an extremely huge river, so wide that it seems endless.

There was a group of wizards gathered together, they were talking, and when they saw Morin and his group coming, they first bowed to the fourth-level True Meanings, and then started talking to Morin and his group.

Morin talked with the wizards and learned that these wizards had been with those fourth-level true meanings. Moreover, for some reason, they did not experience the events in the palace and appeared here directly.

"Well, Morin, you said you experienced a strange incident in the palace. You were able to escape from it. It's amazing." A fat wizard with green hair smacked his lips and said, "We have been in this strange plain wilderness for a long time. After a period of time, we have also made some discoveries."

"What did you find?"

Morin raised his eyebrows and asked concisely.

"You'll know if you look at your feet." The fat wizard with green hair did not answer directly, but smiled bitterly and said this.

Morin was startled. He exerted a little force with his feet, shaking off the loose soil on the ground, revealing the things on the ground.

It was a badly battered skeleton.

"This is..." Mo Lin was stunned.

"Yes, bones. The entire land, this almost endless wilderness, is full of bones."

"It's not just a few skeletons here and there. There are skeletons everywhere."

The fat wizard with green hair pointed forward, a complex expression on his face, and sighed, "This place is a huge bone burial ground."
